As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, a large crowd had already gathered outside. With the neighborhood office making such a big commotion, it was impossible for the people in the surrounding courtyards not to know, especially since it was the weekend.
Good heavens! Who wouldn't want to see something this exciting?
So the word spread quickly, and men and women, young and old, all gathered around.
When the group from the neighborhood committee escorted Jia Zhangshi out of the gate, the area outside was already completely blocked, making it difficult for even the neighborhood committee staff to move.
Officer Liu was prepared for this, so he took out a large tin megaphone he had prepared beforehand and started shouting.
"Please make way, don't crowd together, and be careful."
Although Officer Liu's voice was loud, it had little effect because there were so many people that it was difficult to clear a path in a short time.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the masses, Director Wang changed his mind, postponed the parade, and criticized them again on the spot in order to educate the masses and deter a group of people with similar experiences.
"Wait a minute. Let's hold a big meeting now while there are still many people here. That might be more effective."
Upon receiving the instructions, the people below immediately sprang into action, clearing out an open space and beginning a new round of meetings.
"Fellow villagers, today we are going to hold a special meeting here, and the protagonist of the meeting is this Jia Zhangshi behind me."
Director Wang paused here, then turned and winked at the two young men behind him.
The two men immediately dragged Jia Zhangshi to the center of the field. Before they could even kick her, she knelt down on her own.
"Hahaha……!"
Jia Zhangshi's cleverness caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.
After the laughter subsided, Director Wang continued speaking.
"This Jia Zhangshi is usually lazy, unreasonable, and arrogant. Just yesterday, she almost drove her daughter-in-law to her death. What kind of behavior is this?"
"Such behavior has violated the law, which is unacceptable to us. We must dare to say no to such behavior, and we must condemn such evil people..."
"Well said! Such a wicked person must not be shown any mercy; she must be severely punished."
Director Wang's speech drew cheers and applause from the onlookers.
"Severely punish the wicked woman, Jia Zhangshi!..."
Someone shouted a slogan, and the crowd below immediately joined in.
The shouts of the masses grew louder and louder, completely drowning Jia Zhangshi in a wave of sound.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was no longer the spirited woman she had been the day before. She was like a lone boat on a stormy sea, isolated and helpless, and could be mercilessly torn apart at any moment.
At that moment, a kind-hearted bystander threw an indecent object, which landed squarely on Jia Zhangshi's face.
A pungent stench immediately filled the air, and Jia Zhangshi, the person involved, almost fainted.
However, she was also helpless. With her hands tied behind her back, she had no way to deal with the indecent things on her face, so she could only lower her head to lessen the attack.
Seeing that someone had set a good example, the crowd below followed suit. Although there were no rotten vegetable leaves or eggs, the wisdom of the people should not be underestimated.
The mud beside the latrine, animal droppings, and roadside grass roots were all thrown at Jia Zhangshi. There was even a roll of blood-red toilet paper hanging right on her head, looking as if it had just come out of the oven.
Meanwhile, the staff members had already moved aside when the first unsightly object came, to avoid harming innocent bystanders.
Ten minutes later, Director Wang gave Officer Liu a wink.
Officer Liu immediately took out a large tin megaphone and shouted loudly.
"Alright, everyone stop! Although Jia Zhangshi has committed heinous crimes, we can't condemn her outright. We will give her a chance to reform. You must trust the government; they will definitely reform her."
After Officer Liu finished speaking, the crowd stopped what they were doing. The staff then found a long rope and prepared to pull Jia Zhangshi down.
Because at this moment, Jia Zhangshi was completely untouchable and could not be touched, and she was emitting a foul stench, so the only way to pull her up was with a rope.
The once-crowded crowd now dispersed without any shouting, as if they had seen a plague god wherever Jia Zhangshi went.
Just as they were about to leave again, a voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
"Wait a moment! Director Wang, could you please wait a moment?"
When someone called for a stop, all eyes turned to them.
Qin Huairu struggled through the crowd, carrying a wooden bucket and a tattered piece of cloth.
Just as everyone was wondering, isn't this the daughter-in-law who was almost driven to death by Jia Zhangshi? What is she doing here?
However, Qin Huairu's actions below caused a stir among the crowd.
"Boom!"
"What is Qin Huairu doing? Jia Zhangshi almost drove her to her death, and she still..."
It turned out that Qin Huairu didn't mind the dirt at all. She was using a cloth to wipe the filth off Jia Zhangshi's body, and she didn't even care that her own hands were covered in dog feces.
"Oh dear! Such a good daughter-in-law, how could this old hag not cherish her and even drive her to her death? Sigh! I just can't understand it! I just can't understand it!"
"Jia Zhangshi should be secretly happy to have such a good daughter-in-law! If it were me, I'd be happy for her to die sooner!"
Director Wang and his entourage also heard the discussions among the people below, which showed that this was the will of the people.
But when Jia Zhangshi heard these words, she felt particularly disgusted. Her daughter-in-law was clearly pretending, so why couldn't everyone see it?
However, she couldn't care less about that now. Although this daughter-in-law was just putting on a show, it was exactly what she needed.
no way?
Since I'm covered in filth, I'll let this little slut keep up the act for a while, and I'll settle the score with her when I get back.
Before long, Jia Zhangshi's body had been almost cleaned up. Qin Huairu, suppressing her nausea, said sadly with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mom, this is the only way for now. Please bear with me. I'll help you clean up when we get home."
Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Jia Zhangshi was furious.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could not afford to make any more mistakes, and could only curse inwardly.
"You filthy bitch, you damn jinx, I'll tear your mouth apart when I get back! I curse you to be...!"
However, all of this was in vain, and Qin Huairu could not hear a single word, because she had already left.
"Okay! Let's continue."
Seeing Qin Huairu leave, Director Wang waved his hand and said.
Upon receiving the instructions, the staff quickly parted to create a path and moved onto the street.
Behind them, over a large metal loudspeaker, Officer Liu was also shouting energetically.
"Everyone, come quick! ... Come on, come on! Everyone, come quick and see! This wicked woman, Jia Zhangshi, almost drove her daughter-in-law to her death..."
