Chapter 08 Chapter 8
The special case that occurred in Lijing Manor on Wednesday passed by in a muddle.
Since the personal safety of the parties involved was ultimately involved, the police from the district police station came in the evening. After learning that no one was injured, they reiterated the importance of safety.
He waited until he had checked the community's safety facilities before leaving.
This area is densely populated, and as soon as the police finished this task, they received another task and left in a hurry.
On the second day, a new situation occurred in the community - a man in a family was secretly smoking on the balcony, and when he threw the cigarette butt down, it accidentally fell on the windowsill of another household.
Because of this spark, the washing machine of the family behind caught fire.
Seeing thick smoke rising outside the window, the family realized something was wrong and ran out desperately.
A kind-hearted person called the fire department for help, and the firefighters came and put out the fire, but the balcony had already been burned and most of the furniture in the living room was also burned.
The two families started arguing, not only in the owners’ group, but also in front of the property management.
As a result, the hostess of the house slapped her husband in front of everyone and took the opportunity to expose her husband's cheating.
With such explosive new news, the incident of the child falling from the building yesterday has been forgotten by the community members at the speed of light.
Some onlookers who shot a lot of footage yesterday posted their own videos on a certain audio platform, but received very few responses.
"Hey, is this a filming?"
“The background is pretty bad.”
"What's the plot?"
——Even though it is quite magical to see someone running and jumping between rooms, ordinary audiences have long been desensitized to such scenes after being fed with special effects in TV dramas and movies.
In comparison, it was the photos of Ning Su taken secretly by passers-by that gained some popularity and even topped the hot searches in the city.
"Wow, is this an amateur? She's so pretty."
“I don’t know what it looks like underneath the mask.”
"What kind of neighborhood is this? This handsome guy doesn't look like he has much money."
"What do you mean you have no money? Why are you so sour? I think you are ugly and stingy, right?"
The reaction in the comment section was quite lively, and some even got into a fight over a stranger they had never met.
The only reliable one said "This person looks a bit like a former STUN idol", but no one cared and it disappeared in the increasing number of quarrels.
"Human society is truly wonderful."
The puppy - the dog demon who called himself Mi Gao stood up on his feet, lay down beside Ning Su, and read the replies on social media. Then he said with some emotion.
"...Don't act like you've experienced a lot." Ning Su said speechlessly, with a headache.
"I do know a lot." Mi Gao woofed.
Ning Su's thoughts went back to yesterday, and the feeling of explosion still lingered in his heart - with the introduction of the dog demon named Migao, he roughly figured out what was going on.
The child named "Haohao" is a child of a reconstituted family, and her mother, Yao Shuang, is also a college student from a nearby small county town.
After graduation, she had a short marriage and then married the man from this family.
"They humans place great importance on marriage and reproduction."
Perhaps because he has been in human society for many years, Mi Gao has a clear understanding of human social needs. Although he cannot be said to agree with them, his arguments make sense.
"Haohao's grandmother believes that Haohao's mother was 'bought' by them and must give birth to a boy for the Liu family."
In the past few years, with the development of the economy, the city expanded faster than a rocket, and the village where they lived had carried out demolition planning very early on.
With the prospect of demolition and compensation, many families in the village gave up their demands on their sons.
Many people who cannot learn anything from studying simply give up studying.
Since the purpose of studying is to find a good job and make money, why should they suffer this if they already have money?
As a result, many boys dropped out of school and returned home after graduating from junior high school or high school.
It’s just that, while the relocation compensation the family receives can allow the next generation to live a better life to some extent, the lack of sufficient educational background also limits the young people’s ability to be independent and take responsibility.
Having given up the hardship of studying, they spontaneously lay down in the face of the hardships of work and life.
For example, Haohao’s father is such a typical example.
With ordinary looks and average skills, he can't find a job and lives off his parents. He is lonely inside and relies on playing cards to find a sense of accomplishment.
The family originally spoiled him as a child, but when he was over 30, the family suddenly realized that something was wrong: why couldn't their young man find a partner?
Even when I entered the blind date market, no one was interested in me.
At this point, the elders in the family began to get anxious.
Obviously, his family owns several houses, and they can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month by renting them out, but why is no one interested in his children?
He refuses to admit that his child has been spoiled, and can only complain about the materialism of young women nowadays, while trying to find a daughter-in-law for his son at a high price.
It was at this time that Yao Shuangyi came into view.
If we talk about other conditions, Yao Shuang has a good education, strong ability, and a good job after graduation. She would never consider someone like Haohao's stepfather in the blind date market.
But she has a father who is a deadbeat debtor and an irresponsible ex who ran away as soon as he found out that something was wrong with Haohao.
When discussing marriage, the Liu family was sincere and promised to take good care of Haohao after marriage, so the marriage took place.
After marriage, Yao Shuang did not dare to slack off. She was still conscientious at work and took care of the cost of Haohao's treatment. After work, she also had to do housework and get along with the Liu family's two elders.
I never thought this would happen.
"When she got married again, I was against it." Mi Gao sighed like a human being.
It met Yao Shuangyi in college. At that time, it was begging around the school, and Yao Shuangyi would often come to feed it after class.
After graduation, it wandered to a new place, but Yao Shuangyi recognized it again and continued to take care of it.
The other party couldn't adopt it, but kept giving it delicious food.
At that time, it was still a newly born little demon that had gained a little intelligence by absorbing the moonlight. It relied on Yao Shuangyi's care to survive the most dangerous period.
Later, it went through many changes of appearances, but eventually lived near Yao Shuangyi - until Yao Shuangyi got married for the second time, it managed to be adopted.
But who knows, no matter how capable the puppy is, it can't control human affairs.
It watched Yao Shuangyi jump into the fire pit, and the only thing it could do was to follow her to this community.
Because of adopting it, Yao Shuangyi also had her first quarrel with her new family. After that, it always pretended to be very well behaved and accompanied Haohao.
But who would have thought that, despite all the precautions, we would still end up like this.
Do humans really have to have a family?
The puppy doesn’t understand, but that doesn’t affect his gratitude.
"Can you do me a favor?" At this point in the story, Mi Gao made his request.
It was worried that this time Haohao was rescued, and the matter would end. What if Yao Shuangyi didn't realize her mother-in-law's bad intentions and let Haohao get into trouble again?
Besides, Haohao's grandmother does have some problems——
Thinking of the day when the other party knocked Haohao unconscious and was secretly fiddling with a small object that looked like a doll, it felt something was wrong and hurried to catch up.
If I remember correctly, it was because of some strange reasons that the security guards were unable to open the door to the rooftop.
This dangerous restriction disappeared only when Ning Su suddenly appeared.
Ning Su did not refuse Mi Gao's request, but he did not do it immediately. He just thought about it for a while, and then found an opportunity to look at Yao Shuangyi from a distance, and then he calmed down:
"Actually, I think you don't need to worry too much."
"Ms. Yao doesn't look like a confused person. It's unlikely that she can't see the clues."
Sure enough, as if to prove Ning Su's guess was true, not long after, new news spread among the community owners' group.
Yao Shuangyi actually called the police, and the police who arrived arrested Haohao's grandmother.
This is undoubtedly big news in a community where most of the residents are returning from urban villages.
"This daughter-in-law is so cruel. She didn't give birth to a child after marriage, and she even had her mother-in-law sent to prison."
As a daughter-in-law who married from outside the family, Yao Shuangyi naturally did not receive any support from public opinion at the beginning. Instead, conspiracy theories emerged frequently.
All these rumors, such as ulterior motives, stealing family property, and occupying someone else's home, were not heard until Yao Shuangyi produced concrete evidence.
When the culprit was arrested, the male owner who had spent the night at the card table seemed to have just come to his senses.
"what happened?"
Realizing that his mother was about to be arrested because of Yao Shuangyi, the man felt a surge of anger in his heart and his face turned red.
"How dare you bully my mother?" The man couldn't tell for a moment whether he was anxious about his mother being arrested or about his own authority being violated, and he subconsciously wanted to take action.
However, he ignored his physical strength and slapped out, but before he hit anyone, Yao Shuangyi grabbed his hand and slapped him back.
"roll!"
Haohao’s grandmother, a woman named Zhang Cuifang, was arrested. As an ordinary person, she might be very majestic at home and in front of outsiders, but when she arrived at the police station, she became weak without having to think of anything.
She quickly confessed her crime.
It has always been her wish that something bad happen to Haohao.
The daughter-in-law is smart and strong-willed, and she lives with her stupid son. If Haohao had been fine all the time, their Liu family would not have any bloodline at all.
After this idea came up, Zhang Cuifang often had this thought in her mind. It was not until she joined the community square dance group and met a friend who introduced the method to her that she put it into practice.
Zhang Cuifang's motives can be described as foolish, but to some extent they can be justified.
According to her, her family spent a lot of money on the bride price to marry Yao Shuangyi. If she cannot have a child, all the money spent will be lost.
This behavior was naturally condemned by the police.
According to their understanding, although their daughter-in-law Yao Shuangyi accepted the betrothal gift, this money was quickly used for household expenses after circulation, and was not squandered at all as Zhang Cuifang said.
However, compared with the relatively clear motive for committing the crime, the means of committing the crime confessed by Zhang Cuifang are completely confusing.
"To be able to kill that brat, of course we must have asked a great immortal for help."
However, after much questioning, the police finally realized that the so-called "great immortal" Zhang Cuifang was actually a lifelike wooden puppet.
The only flaw was that the wood carving had cracks and the color was dull, as if the energy had been sucked away.
Meanwhile, at home.
Ning Su looked in the mirror, at the scales growing on the back of his neck, and fell into silence.
Don't exaggerate too much. Others gain merit by doing good deeds, but when it comes to him, why do he start growing scales?
