Chi Yin nodded seriously, "Of course not. Whenever someone upsets her, she would jump up and down, slash with a knife, or light matches. The Taoist priest said that in this case, pouring water on her will sober her up. If she still doesn't sober up, pouring feces water on her."
After hearing what Chi Yin said, the neighbors were still frightened and felt that it was thanks to Chi Yin's timely rescue, otherwise what would they do if their house was really set on fire.
While everyone was discussing, Chi Yin quietly pulled Chi Zhenggang and Zhou Lanhua to the wall and said, "Dad, Mom, the police will be here soon. Don't say anything, let me do it."
"Although my mother called the police, our case is a family dispute. The police always handle such cases through coordination and cold treatment. Zhang Xiufen even ran to our house and set it on fire. How can such a heinous act be resolved through coordination and criticism?"
Chi Yin would definitely not agree. Her and her child's lives had just gotten back on track, and from now on she had to concentrate on studying technology and making money. She would not allow Zhang Xiufen to hinder her progress at this stage.
Chi Yin said, "Today she came to our house and set fire. If we don't teach her a lesson, what will happen in the future? Dad, Mom, to deal with a troublemaker like Zhang Xiufen who is not afraid of anything, we have to make more trouble than her and make this matter endless so that we can completely control her."
Zhou Lanhua agreed and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Wei Chengliang can make a scene even if he comes to our house, but we can send him away with just a few words. But Zhang Xiufen is like a shrew. Your father and I are no match for her. If she continues to make trouble, we won't even be able to stay in this house."
Chi Zhenggang frowned and thought for a while, "So what do you want to do?"
Chi Yin said, "Now everyone thinks she is possessed by a ghost. The only thing left is how the police will decide the matter."
At this time, a neighbor shouted, "Oh, the police are here."
...
...
Chi Yin looked up and saw a young policeman rushing in, breathing heavily. The policeman did not bother to adjust his tilted police hat and went to confirm the fire point first. He saw that the black smoke was from a burnt quilt, and confirmed that no one in the crowd was injured. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The policeman recognized Zhou Lanhua, who had reported the case, in the crowd and waved her hand, saying, "What's going on?"
Zhou Lanhua and Chi Zhenggang had already been reassured by Chi Yin, so they just stayed where they were and watched how Chi Yin would resolve the storm.
Chi Yin walked over with a nervous expression, "Police comrade! My mother-in-law is possessed by a ghost again!"
"What? Possessed by a ghost?"
"Yes, she's possessed by a ghost! She set fire to my mother's house and said she wanted to burn all my family members to death. Oh, it's strange, every time she's unhappy, she's possessed by a ghost. In the past, if I said something that upset her, she would smash and burn things at home. During this period, I was getting a divorce from her son, and she came to my mother's house to burn quilts and sheets, shouting that she was possessed by a ghost."
The police officer asked Chi Yin, "Is your mother-in-law talking about being possessed by a ghost?"
Chi Yin nodded, "I asked a Taoist priest, and he said that she was possessed by a ghost."
How could this ghost be so smart? It doesn't normally come to its body, but when others provoke it, it comes to its body and causes trouble. Isn't this nonsense?
The policeman took a look at Zhang Xiufen who was squatting on the ground and retching. He didn't believe in the idea of being possessed by ghosts. After becoming a policeman, he realized that human hearts are much more vicious than those illusory ghosts.
The police basically concluded that Zhang Xiufen was using the name of ghosts to cause trouble and retaliate.
For ordinary family disputes, he could just criticize them a few times and that would be the end of it, but if they retaliated in the name of a ghost, the nature of that was different.
The police officer looked at Zhang Xiufen, who was squatting by the well and retching, and asked, "What's wrong with her now?"
Chi Yin quickly explained, "It's like this. I asked a Taoist priest, and he said that if she is possessed by a ghost, then pour cold water on her. If pouring cold water doesn't work, then pour feces water on her."
The police officer frowned and lectured, "Female comrade, I have to criticize you for this. In 1982, the authorities issued a notice to ban feudal superstition. I don't think you are an ignorant woman, so why do you still believe in this?"
Chi Yin's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean, my mother-in-law is not possessed by a ghost, she is taking revenge! Two years ago, two families in our village had a quarrel over a homestead, and one family let the other family's cow run away. We searched for several days but couldn't find it. Later, the police arrested this person and locked him up for five days!"
Chi Yin didn't wait for the policeman to speak, she said, "Ah! Then my mother-in-law's behavior of running to my parents' house and setting fire is much more serious than letting the cattle run away. I'm afraid she will be locked up for a few months, right?"
The police officer looked stern and said, "It's hard to say. Let me take her back for questioning before deciding."
Chi Yin nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, then take her with you. Thank you, police comrade."
The police officer walked towards Zhang Xiufen, and Chi Yin quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, police comrade, my old woman is very fierce, and I'm afraid you can't handle her alone, so let me find a tool to help you."
She turned and ran to the backyard, and came back in ten seconds with a hemp rope in her hand.
"Police comrade, tie her up. My wife is very strong. It would be bad if she hurts someone."
Chi Yin stuffed the hemp rope into the policeman's hand and said kindly, "How about this, I'll go with you later and help you keep an eye on it."
The policeman nodded and walked towards Zhang Xiufen with a cold face.
Chi Zhenggang and Zhou Lanhua came over. Chi Zhenggang glanced at the hemp rope in the policeman's hand and said worriedly, "Yin'er, are you making too much trouble? As the saying goes, don't judge by the monk, judge by the Buddha. The youngest son of the Wei family has helped you a lot. You have to give him some face."
Chi Yin sneered in a low voice and said, "The house was almost burned to ashes, why should we care about the relationship between relatives? Besides, if we give face to others, we have to consider their attitude. If he sides with his mother and insists that it is a family conflict and wants to fool people, then wouldn't our face be given in vain?"
After listening to his daughter, Chi Zhenggang felt that what his daughter said made sense and he no longer felt troubled by the matter.
Zhang Xiufen was vomiting so much that she almost vomited bile. She took off her coat and washed it, but it still smelled bad. Her whole spirit was on the verge of collapse.
Just as his head was drooping and he was retching, his body was strangled by something from behind.
With a "whoosh", Zhang Xiufen's arms were strangled so hard that she felt pain. She was so frightened that she swallowed all the filth that rushed into her mouth.
"Who the hell is that!" Zhang Xiufen instinctively grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it back. In the process, she saw that the person who was strangling her was a policeman.
The police showed up at Chi’s house. Did Chi Yin call the police?
Zhang Xiufen turned around and saw Chi Yin running towards her carrying a stick.
He poured water and manure on her and called the police to arrest her. What a cruel heart!
"Chi Yin, you little bitch!" Zhang Xiufen rushed over ferociously, forgetting the hemp rope tied in front of her body, and fell to the ground with her face covered.
Chi Yin raised the stick and looked at the police in panic, "We can't get rid of her like this, how about knocking her out?"
The police officer was so overwhelmed by Zhang Xiufen's struggle that he agreed, saying, "Don't knock her to death."
Zhang Xiufen was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She stared at Chi Yin's raised stick with wide eyes and screamed at the top of her voice, "Chi Yin! Who gave you the courage to hit me, you——"
The rest of the words froze on her lips when Chi Yin hit her with a stick, and Zhang Xiufen rolled her eyes and pouted.
