Maybe the passersby couldn't stand it and went to the police station to report it.
After a while, two policemen in uniform ran over.
Old Mrs. Liu was so busy crying that she didn't notice what was happening around her at all.
Old Mrs. Li was the first to notice the police running towards her from a distance, and she quickly signaled to the others with her eyes to let go.
He also cursed and provoked Old Lady Liu in a low voice.
"You old witch, why doesn't God strike you down if you're such a wicked person? You have such a bad heart, and you deserve your son to be a loser and a gambler. With your son's character, you're not sure if you'll have anyone to support you in your old age."
Old Mrs. Liu was furious. She hated it most when people said her son was a loser.
And Boss Liu did gamble. Over the years, half of the monthly salary went back to him. The family had enough food and drink, but he lost all the remaining money in gambling.
How could Mrs. Liu not know what was going on? That was why she was most afraid of people knowing about her son's situation.
Feeling that the old woman behind him had let go, Liu couldn't wait to jump up and pounce on Old Lady Li.
"I'll let you talk dirty, I'll let you talk dirty. My son is no better than yours, even if he's useless. Your second son is a widower, and if he gave birth to a girl, his family will be extinct. What's the point of having more sons? You deserve it because all your sons gave birth to girls. I'll beat you to death, you shameless thing."
Old Mrs. Li didn't know if she had used up all her strength just now, but she fell to the ground with a thud after being pounced by Old Mrs. Liu.
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that it must have been a heavy fall.
When the two policemen ran over, they saw an old woman pinning another old woman to the ground and trying to beat her.
He quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
Old Mrs. Li's hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in dust, having been rubbed against the ground at some point.
She grabbed the hands of two police officers and started crying: "Officers, you have to help me. This old woman hit me without saying a word. Look at what she did to me. She even tore my clothes. I have to ask her to compensate me."
Old Lady Liu looked incredulous. Although she was the one who took the initiative, she didn't hit them at all. She was the one who was beaten.
She didn't even have to use any strength before the old woman fell to the ground. The police arrived before she could do anything.
When did she tear the old bitch's clothes?
"Bah, you shameless old bastard! When did I ever rip your clothes? I didn't hit you, but you guys beat me up all over. Police officer, please help me. This old bitch is talking nonsense."
"What nonsense are you talking about? So many people on the street saw that you were the first to attack. Besides, when did we hit you? Do you have any injuries on your body?
Look at what the Li family has been beaten up by you. You pushed them to the ground, their faces bruised and battered."
There was no need for Old Lady Li to defend herself, as others had already spoken for her.
The two police officers were also helpless as it was the first time they had dealt with such a matter.
They also recognized who Old Lady Liu was. Her family had just called the police last night to report that their money was lost, and before they could find any clues, trouble broke out again.
Besides, there’s no need to bring these two back to the police station. The voices of this bunch of old ladies can blow the roof off the police station.
"Okay ladies, come one by one, who will tell me what happened first?
The two parties involved should stop talking and let others speak."
When these two old ladies started talking, they started to push the blame onto each other. Each of them had their own reasons, and it was unclear who was at fault.
In a short time, a lot of people gathered nearby, and everyone came to watch the fun.
I know there’s a bunch of old ladies fighting here, and they’re all so excited about the fight.
It's more exciting than a fight between young people.
The police randomly picked someone in the crowd on the roadside and asked what was going on.
"Comrade police officer. I don't know much, but I just saw that guy pinning that guy to the ground and preparing to slap him."
As he spoke, he pointed at Old Lady Liu, and then at Old Lady Li who was covered in dust and dirt on the other side.
"You are talking nonsense. I didn't hit her. She fell down by herself. It has nothing to do with me." Old Mrs. Liu was very angry. She realized that these people were ganging up to bully her.
"There are so many of us watching. Look at how you've torn someone's clothes. It's not easy for anyone to make a piece of clothing. You have to compensate them."
Everyone looked at Old Lady Li's clothes, and sure enough, there was a hole at the shoulder, revealing the cotton inside.
Old Mrs. Li seemed to have just discovered that her clothes were damaged, and immediately started crying to the police officer.
"Comrade police officer, you have to make a decision for me. Everyone who knows me knows that my family is poor. I only have this cotton-padded jacket for the winter. If it gets broken, how am I going to wear it? She must compensate me."
After questioning a group of witnesses, the police also punished Mrs. Liu.
"We've already understood the situation clearly, and you've admitted that you were the first to start the fight. Since neither of you was injured and the incident wasn't too serious, you don't have to go back to the station with us.
You are each responsible for your own injuries, but if you tore someone's clothes, you must compensate them. Old Lady Liu will pay Old Lady Li five dollars, and the matter will be over."
Although Mrs. Li looked aggrieved on the surface, she was actually laughing inside.
Her clothes were definitely not torn by Old Lady Liu, because she had to work today, so she wore the most worn and worn one in the bottom of her closet.
As for why she dared to say that she only had this one piece of clothing to wear during the winter, and she was not afraid of being exposed.
Because her clothes are all the same color and style, no matter how many years she has been making them, the clothes she wears every day don't change much, and no one can tell how many clothes she has.
There was a cut on the one she wore today. Actually, she accidentally tore it when she was moving things this morning, and she didn't even notice it.
At this time, not only can you make the other person unlucky, but you can also earn five dollars. How happy is that?
But Old Mrs. Liu was not happy with this result. She was scolded and beaten for no reason today, and now she was asked to pay compensation. Why?
"If I didn't tear it, then it's not me. I don't have money and I won't compensate you. You can go find whoever you want.
Besides, you know my family's situation, police officer. All my money is lost. How can I afford to pay for it?"
The police are used to it and know how to deal with it.
"If you firmly refuse to pay compensation, we will find your husband or son's factory and ask them to deduct the compensation from their wages.
You should give it to us now to save us all trouble. It will also cause your husband and son to have a bad reputation in the factory. What do you think?"
Old Mrs. Liu wanted to refute, but her lips trembled for a long time and she couldn't say a word.
