Before leaving Director Wang's house, Liu Gan contacted Director Yao of the Women's Federation and explained the situation to her.
Director Yao of the Women's Federation, also a veteran revolutionary, is intolerant of any wrongdoing. Despite having a day off, she helped make contacts.
With Director Yao's help, a few more people, including Officer Li from the Armed Forces Department, were soon summoned. They all came to the Subdistrict Office together. To make it more intimidating, Director Wang directly arranged for several people to carry Mauser pistols.
After being armed, seven or eight people marched in a large group towards the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Madam Jia, who was in the courtyard, was completely unaware that she was about to face a terrible disaster. She was still acting like a dead pig afraid of boiling water, nagging and lecturing her daughter-in-law.
"You vixen, who were you trying to impress with that show last night? Let me tell you, you think you can ruin my reputation? Not a chance! I don't care at all..."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qin Huairu ignored her mother-in-law's accusations, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
Because she believed that once the events of last night escalated, someone would eventually come after her mother-in-law.
Otherwise, all her acting last night would have been for nothing.
That situation was no joke; it really hurt! If the third aunt hadn't arrived quickly, she doubted she would have seen the sun rise today.
"Mom, are you still in pain?"
Three-year-old Xiao Dang touched the red mark on Qin Huairu's neck and asked timidly.
"Mom is fine. This mark will disappear in a couple of days, and then Mom can play with Xiaodang again."
"Hehehe! Mom is so good, unlike Grandma, who scolds me every day for being a good-for-nothing."
Seeing her daughter's aggrieved face, Qin Huairu didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hug her daughter tightly and silently shed tears.
If it weren't for her two children, she sometimes really wanted to end her life.
"What? You've gone mute now? If you're so tough, go ahead and hang yourself right now, no one will stop you."
"Alright, can't you just leave us alone for a bit? If this keeps up, this family will fall apart sooner or later."
Annoyed by his mother's incessant nagging, Jia Dongxu roared in anger.
Looking at her disgruntled son, Madam Jia was somewhat incredulous that her son dared to yell at her.
But her son was the head of the household, the main breadwinner, and the source of her arrogance. She wouldn't criticize him, so she simply fell silent.
Just as the Jia family fell silent, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the gate of the courtyard house.
When Yan Bugui saw the person who came, his heart skipped a beat. This person had come to question him. He immediately sent his son to inform the two old men.
Upon receiving the news, Sun Dajiang and Liu Haizhong dared not delay and rushed to the gate one after the other.
"Director Wang, I'm sorry. I was planning to report this matter tomorrow, but I didn't expect to alarm everyone. I rushed over here now. Please come inside and have a cup of tea."
Although this matter had nothing to do with Sun Dajiang, he still humbled himself and took the initiative to explain, after all, he was the eldest man in this courtyard!
Director Wang didn't dwell on the matter. After all, how could you stop someone who wanted to commit suicide? Besides, these managers didn't receive a single penny in salary. If you blamed them, do you believe they would just abandon you?
"Section Chief Sun, don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. Let's not go inside. Just tell us about it here!"
Seeing this, Sun Dajiang didn't stand on ceremony and recounted what had happened the night before, even mentioning the unresolved issues with the elderly men.
After hearing the story, Director Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the managers had not aided and abetted the evildoers or joined in driving people to their deaths.
Everything was caused by that Jia Zhangshi, and she was just released from prison yesterday.
Director Wang had already sentenced her to death in his mind, knowing he would not let her off easily.
"Director Yao, please speak with Qin Huairu alone in a bit to find out the whole story. Be careful how you speak so as not to make her uncomfortable, since this kind of person has suicidal tendencies."
"Okay!"
Who is Director Yao?
Upon hearing this, it became clear that today's matter was mainly aimed at Jia Zhangshi, and the others were just going through the motions.
"Officer Liu, your task later is to find Jia Dongxu and get more information from the side, and then we'll summarize the findings."
"Okay, Director Wang."
"Officer Li, you and the others, go and meet with Jia Zhangshi later, and see what she has to say?"
"yes!"
The remaining people responded in unison.
These men are all young, retired from the battlefield, and have rather bad tempers. If Jia Zhangshi dares to swear later, they will surely leave her with an unforgettable memory.
Upon receiving the instructions, everyone immediately sprang into action, arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, and entered the Jia family's residence.
"Who are you? Why are you barging into my house like robbers?!"
Madam Jia had just been upset by her son, so it was no wonder she was not going to speak kindly when a group of people walked in!
"You are Jia Zhangshi? I am Director Yao from the Women's Federation of the Subdistrict Office. I am here to investigate the suicide incident last night. Qin Huairu, come with me."
Upon hearing that someone from the neighborhood committee had arrived, Jia Zhangshi immediately wilted, not daring to utter a sound, and watched helplessly as Qin Huairu and Director Yao walked out.
After Director Yao left, Officer Liu continued speaking.
"Jia Dongxu, come out here for a moment. Let's go to the back and talk."
Helpless, Jia Dongxu glanced at his mother and followed Officer Liu to the backyard.
Left alone, Jia Zhangshi felt a little uneasy and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Officer Li.
"You don't need to go anywhere. We'll just chat here. When I ask you something, just answer honestly. Remember, don't try to outsmart us."
Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to act up and obediently sat back down.
Thus, the neighborhood committee staff divided the Jia family into three groups and questioned them in the front, middle, and back yards respectively.
Qin Huairu, who was being questioned in the front yard, is now sitting in Sun Dajiang's house.
Meanwhile, Director Wang, who had some free time, was also at the Sun family's house. Since they were all old acquaintances, Lin Wencui made them a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Qin Huairu accepted the teacup and thanked her.
"No need to be polite. This is Director Yao. Just answer whatever she asks you. There's no need to hide anything. Just tell the truth."
Seeing that Qin Huairu was still a little nervous, Lin Wencui comforted her from the side.
In fact, Qin Huairu knew what to do without Lin Wencui telling her.
She wanted to be a good daughter-in-law, but Jia Zhangshi didn't appreciate it. Every day she complained about this and that, and she said a lot of vicious things. She had long been fed up with this kind of life.
It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this big fuss today and purge this boil, so that Jia Zhangshi won't keep bringing up the issue of disobedience and filial impiety every day.
Seeing that Qin Huairu was in stable condition, Director Yao nodded slightly and began to formally inquire.
