Chapter 167 A Good Child Who Acted Righteously
"Someone actually hit that Sister Zhang?" Yao Shula was startled.
Yao Shula knew a little about the Sister Zhang that Xiaotian and Yao Shuli were talking about.
She was in her thirties, a bit shrewish and unreasonable, and quite good-looking. Her husband worked in a car fleet, driving cars and earning a good amount of money.
She doesn't need to go to work; she can just stay home and take care of the children.
Yao Shula didn't like this person very much because she had bought things from Yao Shula before, and afterwards she told others that they must not have come from legitimate sources, which was why they were selling them so cheaply.
Yao Shula originally wanted to say something to her, but the three sisters-in-law from the Yao family beat her to it.
"How did you know someone hit that Sister Zhang?" Yao Shula was even more puzzled.
Just as Xiaotian was about to speak, Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin arrived as well.
"What do you mean by hitting someone?" The two of them didn't hear clearly.
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli immediately explained what had happened to Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin.
"It's that Sister Zhang from the alley next door. She was beaten by a man," Yao Shuli told Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin.
“Yes! They took a taxi behind closed doors!” Xiao Tiantian added.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin both said "Oh," implying that it was probably a case of a man beating his wife at home.
"They even beat her up behind closed doors! Her husband is a real scoundrel!" Lei Jingwu immediately chimed in.
"It's not her man, it must be someone else!"
"It seems her husband went out in a car the day before yesterday; we saw him," Yao Shuli quickly added.
Lei Jingwu was stunned for a moment, but Gu Changqin's eyes lit up.
"Not her man? And they beat him behind closed doors? How did you know?" Gu Changqin asked hurriedly.
Before Xiaotian could speak, Yao Shuli spoke first.
"My older sister just told us to go buy soy sauce. We originally wanted to buy it at the small shop next door, but the guy at that shop said he saw something bad in the soy sauce vat yesterday, so he told us to go to the small shop a little further away to buy soy sauce."
So I took Tiantian with me.
On my way back, I happened to pass by Sister Zhang's house.
Her house usually has its front door open during the day, but it's closed today.
At first, we didn't think anything of it, but as soon as we passed her house, we heard a strange man's voice.
"What are you saying, 'I'll kill you!' That voice definitely isn't Sister Zhang's man's." Yao Shuli said seriously.
"Yes! I heard it too. Later I also heard that Sister Zhang say something like, 'You might as well kill me.'"
Then came the sound of slapping, and it was really hard! Little Tiantian looked very serious.
Yao Shula, Lei Jingwu, Gu Changqin...
Yao Shula seemed to understand what was going on, but she still pretended to be clueless and a little surprised.
"Really? How did you do it?" Yao Shula asked, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
“This is a big deal! They’re hitting people! We’re just kids and can’t help much, but luckily the police station isn’t far away, so we went to report it to the police.”
It's that policeman who often plays ball at our house.
He has already led his men towards Sister Zhang's place.
"Big sister, aren't we good kids who did a good deed?" Little Tiantian was still asking for praise.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin must have thought of something, as both of them looked constipated.
Gu Changqin felt an even stronger urge to go and watch the excitement...
"Yes, good boy, a brave boy! Big sister will reward you with a big chicken leg later." Yao Shula immediately patted Xiao Tiantian's head.
"Big sister, me too!" Yao Shuli also came over.
"Okay, one chicken leg each later!" Yao Shula patted Yao Shuli's head again.
Lei Jingwu coughed and kicked Gu Changqin, who was constantly looking outside, wondering if he should go and see what was going on.
"Time to eat! We still have a lot to do after we finish eating!"
...
Everyone had their own thoughts while eating this meal.
Yao Shula wondered if she could go to Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant when she wasn't busy. The restaurant was right across from Sister Zhang's house, and she should be able to get first-hand gossip information there.
Gu Changqin thought to himself, "Wow, there's still this kind of excitement to see in a small county town!"
I absolutely have to leave Tian Tian behind and go check out the excitement later!
Sigh, I should have come earlier. I could have just gone to observe while I was just passing by, and then called the police after I'd heard the commotion!
Lei Jingwu's expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were still discussing whether the police should give them a certificate or something for their heroic act.
If anyone from the police station praises them, they'll definitely say it's because their older sister taught them well, that she told them to help those in need.
It was also the eldest sister who told them to be brave and righteous.
The only one who didn't think that much was Yao Shuxin.
That Sister Zhang... she deserved to be beaten. With that mouth of hers, she wouldn't have lost out even if she got beaten ten times over.
...
Before she had finished her meal, Yao Shula heard a noise outside, which sounded like the neighbors' voices.
"There's going to be some excitement at Old Liu's place."
Yao Shula listened carefully and realized that the man surnamed Zhang was surnamed Liu, so the Liu family they were talking about must be the Zhang family.
"Yes! I heard they were trapped inside! The police went to block the door."
"Hey, do you guys think the police still care about this kind of thing? Are they blocking the entrance because of it?"
"Yes, I saw it clearly. It took several police officers a long time to break down the door before they could open it!"
"This is going to be interesting! Let's go take a look!"
...
Yao Shula continued eating without changing her expression.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were a little confused. Could this be referring to the heroic act they had just performed?
“Big sister…” Yao Shuli looked at Yao Shula cautiously.
"You ate very well, keep up the good work!" Yao Shula put a piece of meat on Yao Shuli's and Xiao Tiantian's plates.
The two were immediately relieved. Their older sister said they had done the right thing, so it must be a good thing. They should continue to work hard in the future.
Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yao Shula didn't know what was going on, which was good, to avoid any awkwardness.
"We're going to take care of some things this afternoon, and we'll pick Tiantian up in the evening. You can help Tiantian pack her things."
"We'll send Tiantian back in about a week," Lei Jingwu changed the subject.
Yao Shula nodded and agreed.
...
In the afternoon, Yao Shula packed all of Xiaotian's belongings into a travel bag, and then instructed Xiaotian and Yao Shuli to stand their last shift and sell the last batch of popsicles before heading out.
Several dishes for lunch were brought back from Zhong Xiaochun's restaurant.
Yao Shula took the opportunity of returning the lunchbox to gather some information.
