"Are you from this house? Someone just called the police, saying someone from this house beat up an elderly man for no reason. Who's home there?"
Brother Gun, who was out running errands and opening the door, realized that it was the old lady in his family who caused the trouble and the police were called to his house.
"Hello, hello! Please come in, everyone is inside. We are really wronged. Those people said bad things about my sister at our doorstep, which was really unpleasant!
This is what our old lady caught red-handed, so she rushed over to reason with them. We are all civilized people who know that fighting is not good, so we mainly communicate through language. Really!
As Gunge invited everyone into the house, he explained his old lady's behavior. He was sure that those who called the police would never dare to let anyone see their injuries.
His old lady is an expert in this area. Even in the most chaotic times, he never suffered any injustice, thanks to the old lady's powerful skills.
"Who's here? Is it Xiao Jiang's colleague? Why don't we go back first and come back to see you in a couple of days? We don't live too far away, and Auntie will make dumplings for you in a couple of days."
Having said that, the old lady stood up and prepared to go home. She had heard her son say vaguely that Jiang Cha's work was confidential.
As a family member, he was very conscious of avoiding the child. He lived not far away and could come to visit at any time. Otherwise, there were only the two of them at home, and who knew whether Lao Jiang would be able to take care of the child.
"Mom, you have to wait a moment. You were just talking to someone outside and they called the police. They said you beat them up. The police are here now."
He lifted the curtain of the living room and said to the inside that they were staying in Jiang Cha's room and should get out quickly when they heard the police were coming.
"You were the one who did it just now? Auntie, there were several people there! Did you have any help? What's your relationship with those two?"
Because it was a dispute between neighbors, the two people who came were new. They had just graduated and had been assigned here not long ago, otherwise how could they not know the Jiang family?
Not to mention that she worked in a special unit, Lao Jiang had lived in this area for quite a while. He was considered a familiar face, and the local police officer definitely knew how many people were in his family.
"We're here to visit a patient. This is the homeowner's daughter. This is my son. He doesn't fight. It's been hard for my son to grow up safely, so how dare he fight someone else?
Do those people you mentioned dare to come over? Ask me why I quarreled with them. A group of people bullied other people's children. The old man in this family is also a bit of a tongue.
I've been caught up, can you please lend a hand?"
"They said you beat them up for no reason and then threatened them arrogantly. Is this true?"
The young police officer asked the aunt.
"Hey, hey, hey! This isn't my sister's fault. She came here today to see my daughter. But she happened to run into those people gossiping at my doorstep, saying the most nasty things about my daughter."
Father Jiang quickly stepped in front and explained to them what had happened.
If we really talk about what happened today, it was definitely those people who were unreasonable, but who told the elder sister to take action? He knew that someone was taking out their anger on his daughter, but he couldn't let them take the responsibility for this matter.
If they insist on not giving up, the worst that can happen is that my daughter can just pay a little money. But don't let such a small thing leave a criminal record on them, as that will ruin my sister's children's lives.
"Hello, could the two of you outside please come in for a moment? I'm a little uncomfortable, so please come over. I have something important to tell you."
Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Cha quickly called out to the two policemen. She asked them to come inside because she had something to tell them. She had to keep her affairs secret from her aunt. The more she knew, the worse it would be.
"What did you ask us to come in for?"
Perhaps because she was leaning against the bed, looking as if she had lost too much blood and was not strong enough, their attitude became a little gentle, for fear of scaring her. After all, she looked a little scary.
"Hello, this is my work ID. I was injured on duty this time. Please contact our unit for details, as the gunshot wound is in the abdomen.
Those people who were gossiping at my doorstep were telling everyone that I was a mistress and had secretly had a child with the boss. That's why I have a wound on my stomach. My aunt happened to come visit me today.
I ran into them red-handed, so I had a conflict with them. I demanded that those people be taken back for questioning. Why did they come to my doorstep and say bad things about me for no reason?
Normal people would keep gossip behind others' backs, right? Why did they go out and talk about it at the doorstep?"
This was something she found puzzling, as many of the neighbors she had known during her time there were no longer around. Old Jiang and his family had lived there for quite some time, so they should have had good relationships with neighbors and wouldn't have offended anyone by barging in and gossiping about them.
That's why she asked the two policemen for help to see if someone was trying to trip her up.
The two of them looked at her work ID card again and again, and then learned how she got the wound. They quickly said goodbye to her and prepared to go out and find those people to bring back and question them in detail.
He left in a hurry and only had time to say hello to the three people in the living room before leaving.
"You told them the truth? Will it have any impact?"
Father Jiang asked worriedly, her affairs are all confidential, will it have an impact on his daughter if he tells her?
Seeing his worried look, Jiang Cha shook her head and waved the work ID in her hand.
When she returned this time, her employer gave her a formal work permit, giving her a legitimate identity and proving her many years abroad.
Besides, the wounds on her body were not something ordinary people would get, so they hurried back.
Brother Gun and Auntie pretended not to hear. Some things couldn't be explained so clearly. How many years had they memorized the confidentiality agreement? They were very conscious of not asking about things they shouldn't.
Around 4 p.m., my aunt stood up and said she was going home to pick up her child. I'd make dumplings for her later and told her to call home and order whatever she wanted.
Not long after the mother and daughter left, several people came to the door and said they were there to apologize and ask them to spare the elderly man in the family. Their implicit meaning was that flies don't bite eggs without cracks.
Jiang Cha, who was lying in the house, did not see the scene of Lao Jiang scolding people with a big broom.
The old man came back livid, pacing the living room in anger. He didn't dare to tell his daughter about this, so he went to the police station with his retirement documents to find the people.
She heard the old man leave from inside the house, but didn't say anything to stop him. Why did he have to endure such humiliation after going through life and death outside?
If it wasn't so difficult for her to get up, she would have wanted to go out with us.
When Lao Jiang returned from Mingzhu, he saw his daughter lying on the bed. After knowing everything, he was already furious, and then there were the gossips from the neighbors.
If we don't let him find a place to vent, we're afraid that the old man will get hurt.
Since they are so foul-mouthed, it would be a good idea to let Lao Jiang teach them how to behave.
