As soon as the middle-aged woman rushed over, she was stopped by the people around her.
Are you kidding! If they could still run into Du Wanying in front of so many people, then their lives would be in vain.
But Du Wanying was still confused when she heard the words "give her husband back his life".
What does this mean?
She hasn't killed anyone, has she?
Why is it called paying back one's life?
Not only Du Wanying was confused, but Zhao Fangling was also confused. If it were in the past, she would have gone up and torn the middle-aged woman's mouth. Zhao Fangling's fighting ability was well-known in the machinery factory.
But now, after hearing what the middle-aged woman said, she did not rush out immediately, but stood firmly in front of her daughter to protect her.
She also wanted to know how her daughter ended up in a murder.
Zhao Fangling absolutely believed in Du Wanying. She felt that the middle-aged woman in front of her was crazy. Instead of rushing up to fight her, it would be better to stand in front of her daughter.
"Sister? What do you mean I should return your husband's life? I don't even know who you are, let alone your husband."
Seeing that she couldn't get to Du Wanying, the middle-aged woman took a step back with her two children.
"Even though you don't know me or my man, my man died because of you!"
"Sister, where do you get this from?"
Du Wanying saw that the middle-aged woman spoke clearly and did not seem crazy, so she decided to ask her what was going on.
"My family bought your earthquake-proof bed, but when the house collapsed, the bed was bent. My husband was trapped in the bed for seven days and eventually starved to death.
If it weren't for your earthquake-proof bed trapping my man, he wouldn't have died given his physique. Tell me, are you a murderer? Shouldn't you pay for my man's life? Either give me three hundred yuan today, or I will die here with my child!"
The middle-aged woman's rapid-fire series of questions left Du Wanying stunned. Of course, she was shocked!
No wonder everyone advised her to stay away before, saying she was blackmailing people.
In Du Wanying's opinion, this is not extortion at all, it is clearly robbery!
"Is this woman mentally ill?"
"Maybe he's crazy about money!"
"There are really all kinds of people these days!"
However, the middle-aged woman remained motionless in the face of the rumors around her. She just held her two children tightly and stared at Du Wanying.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Fangling reached out to grab Du Wanying and wanted to leave. Just after taking two steps, she heard the voice of a middle-aged woman behind her: "Don't leave. If you leave, I will die here today!"
The middle-aged woman took out a knife at some point, put the older child down, and held the knife to his neck.
"Sister, don't do anything stupid. Let's talk it over. If you don't think about yourself, think about the two children around you."
"Sister, put the knife down quickly."
"Don't hurt the child."
Otherwise, why do people say that human nature is good? Those who were just saying that this woman was extorting money turned around and advised the woman not to die when they saw her take out a knife.
Of course, other voices were heard as well: "Don't threaten me with death all the time. If you have the guts, then really die! What did Xiao Du do to you, and you're trying to extort money from him?"
Du Wanying stood there and said nothing. For her, who had lived two lives, this kind of scene was nothing. In her previous life, the Internet was so developed, she had seen all kinds of things.
Just as everyone was talking about it, the police arrived in time.
"Move aside, move aside, move aside, and stop watching."
As soon as the officers arrived, they began to clear the crowd.
When the crowd was driven away several dozen meters, only the middle-aged woman with her two children, Du Wanying and her daughter, and three police officers were left at the scene.
"Put the knife down first. We can talk about it slowly. Don't worry, if anything really happens, we will take care of it for you."
Seeing the police coming, the middle-aged woman started talking.
"My name is Huang Cuihua, and I'm from Zhangwan Township, Nanhai County. In this earthquake, my house collapsed and my husband died, leaving us an orphan and a widow.
I heard that the higher authorities allocated a lot of money to repair houses, but my family still has no place to live in and no food. I went to find the village chief, and he said that our family is not covered by the national disaster relief and we don’t get a penny.
We moved here from the neighboring province. We are the only family in the village, but other families have houses to live in, except us.
Later, I went to see the village chief every day, and he threw a newspaper at me, saying that my husband died of starvation because he was trapped in the earthquake-proof bed, not killed by the earthquake, and if I wanted to find out, I should go find the person who made the earthquake-proof bed.
Later, I brought my children and begged for food along the way."
Huang Cuihua's story was very short, she didn't cry when she told it, and her tone was very calm.
But everyone present could hear something different in it. This might be the most sorrowful thing than a dead heart.
After hearing this, the older of the three officers said, "Sister Huang, I sympathize with your situation, but even so, you can't come to Comrade Xiao Du. Comrade Xiao Du is a hero! You know what a hero is? Ask yourself, can Comrade Xiao Du be blamed for your husband's death?"
"I...I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? Can you blame Comrade Xiao Du for your husband's death?"
"But if it weren't for the shockproof bed, my man wouldn't have been trapped and starved to death."
At this time, a young officer couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, "Have you ever thought that if it weren't for the earthquake-proof bed, if such a heavy house collapsed and the steel earthquake-proof bed was crushed and deformed, would your man still be alive?"
When the young official said this, Huang Cuihua was stunned.
Yes, she had always been misled into thinking that the shockproof bed trapped her man and made him unable to move, but she never thought about what would happen to her man without the shockproof bed.
Huang Cuihua was in a daze for about a minute, then threw away the knife in her hand and knelt down in front of Du Wanying and her daughter with a plop.
Then he started yelling, "I'm sorry, I'm possessed by the devil, I'm not a human being!"
Du Wanying and her daughter quickly stepped forward to help Huang Cuihua up: "Sister, don't be like this, get up quickly."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, several people said goodbye to Du Wanying and her daughter.
"Comrade Du, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll take them to the station first."
Du Wanying thought for a moment and then asked, "About their family's disaster and the relief supplies?"
"We will report this to our superiors. I believe that with your attention, Comrade Du, there will be a better result. We will notify you when the time comes."
"My attention?"
"Yes, you are a hero, the pride of Huairen and the entire port city!"
