Chapter 82 You Are Confused
Director Zhang came prepared. In the morning, he followed Secretary Tang's carriage to Zhai's house first.
Afterwards, the official car arranged to pick them up had already driven into Hongmei Village and appeared outside the gate of Zhai's courtyard at the right time.
Three police officers, in uniform, opened the door and got out of the car. They happened to see Director Zhang arresting a "suspect". Several police officers quickly ran into the yard, "Director, we are here."
"You've come at the right time. Take Comrade Liu Xiulan back to the station immediately. We must thoroughly investigate yesterday's injury incident..." Chief Zhang gave an order, and three police officers rushed to Mrs. Liu and held the still howling old woman on both sides.
The Zhai family in the main room were shocked. Chief Zhang was going to take people to the police station?
Several daughters-in-law were also very frightened.
Seeing this, the second son of the Zhai family, Zhai Jiahao, became anxious and rushed forward to grab a police officer, asking in panic, "What are you doing! What crime did my mother commit that you are taking her to the police station? Even if you want to understand the matter, you should take the third son to ask clearly."
"He is the center of the conflict. We must follow the rules and take the relevant personnel to the police station." Chief Zhang stood there like an unshakable iron tower. He answered angrily and turned to look at Zhai Ximo. "Comrade Zhai Ximo, you also come with us to the police station. We need to take a statement."
"Yeah, no problem."
"No! I will never let you take my mother to a place like that."
Zhai Jiahao tried his best to protect his mother and refused to allow the police to take the person away.
Another police officer came over.
He pulled him away and shouted, "Your mother broke the law and intentionally injured someone, and you still think you are right?! Anyone who dares to obstruct the police station from handling the case today will be taken to the police station for detention."
It is not known whether the police officer's words were true or not, but Zhai Jiahao still felt somewhat benefited after hearing them.
However, the anger in his heart was also aroused. He pointed at Wang Ziru and said, "She is the culprit. Take her to the police station and ask her clearly."
Liu Xiangqin leaned against the door and hurriedly helped out, "Yes! Take her to question her clearly. My man was badly injured, but she is fine..."
"What are you talking about?!"
Zhai Qingsong couldn't bear it anymore and never dared to yell at his wife in person.
The police station wants to arrest his mother and interrogate her clearly. That is according to the rules. What nonsense is the second son talking about?
He didn't care about the injury on his left arm, and he took a quick step forward to stand in front of Wang Ziru. "This matter has nothing to do with my sister-in-law! On the contrary, she was the one who treated me carefully after I was injured. Director Zhang, don't arrest the wrong person."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she looked up and cried, "Qingsong, you are confused..."
Secretary Tang's face changed, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Don't worry! Comrade Zhai Qingsong, we went to the health center last night to learn about what happened. This time, Comrade Wang Ziru responded quickly and saved your life. We will not pretend that we don't know. In a few days, after the commune meeting, someone will definitely come to commend us."
Director Zhang stood with his back to the door of the main hall. He had a pair of bright eyes, and just by standing there he created an invisible sense of oppression.
It makes people dare not act rashly.
The Zhai family was weak and alone, and no one helped them, so they dared not move at all.
He had no choice but to watch his mother being taken away by the police station.
Zhai Ximo led his eldest brother Zhai Qingsong into the police station's car. He swore in his heart, "I must teach this mother a lesson this time."
Before leaving, Secretary Tang held Wang Ziru's hand and said affectionately, "Comrade Ziru, I feel guilty. You and your son have suffered so much over the years."
"These things are nothing, please don't be disgusted by them. Take them and use them as a supplement for your child."
"In any case, thank you Secretary Tang and Director Zhang for taking the trip today and coming to the village to see us!" After hearing the secretary's words, Wang Ziru's face showed joy.
Send them out personally.
Many villagers in the village came to Zhai's house to join in the fun.
We also saw how Zhai Ximo put his mother aside for the sake of justice and asked the police station to arrest his mother.
The two cars slowly drove away from Hongmei Village, but this incident was even more outrageous than what happened yesterday when Liu Xiulan chopped her own son. It was like a cauldron that had exploded in the peaceful village.
When Liu Xiangqin saw that her man was also taken to the police station, she felt like she was venting her anger on Wang Ziru.
After their two new houses were completed, they went to the town to buy new iron pots and some simple cooking utensils.
But with red eyes, she walked into the thatched hut behind the house and pointed at Wang Ziru, "What on earth do you want, woman? It would be fine if you let the police take my mother away, but you let them take my husband away as well. You're going to earn money to support our family in the future?"
"Sister-in-law! If you continue to frame me without any basis, it will be you, Liu Xiangqin, who will be taken away." Wang Ziru was cooking noodles when she threw the spatula in her hand into the hot iron pot with a clang.
"You! Don't be so proud. If anything happens to my man, you and your whole family will die."
After saying these harsh words, Liu Xiangqin turned and walked out of the hut.
Zhai Jiahao was standing outside under the eaves when he heard his sister-in-law go to the kitchen to pick a fight with Wang Ziru.
Under normal circumstances, he would have stepped in to rescue them.
But he didn't want to do that today. The Zhai family now seemed to be her world. Even Secretary Tang had to lower his posture in front of her and try so hard to please her.
However, Zhai Jiahao plans to wait until his elder brother comes back.
…
After the mother and son finished eating the egg noodles and cleaned up, Wang Ziru took her son back to her parents' home.
In the morning, Secretary Tang brought a piece of bacon, ten kilograms of rice, and two cans of oranges to their home.
The little boy was very hungry and begged his mother to bring the canned food with him, "Let's take the canned food to grandma's house and let Brother Zhuzi have a taste too."
"Okay, Mommy will listen to you."
While packing up the cans and simply stuffing them with the net bag into the satin bag, Wang Ziru couldn't help but look at the piece of bacon, which must have weighed at least seven or eight pounds.
Baoer just wants to eat bacon, so now we don’t have to go to town and spend money to buy it. We can just cook it for Baoer when we get back from my mother’s house.
I bought two days ago and haven’t had time to steam the two pounds of glutinous rice for my child to satisfy his hunger. Now I have some bacon at home, so I can make glutinous rice with diced bacon.
"Let's go! Your uncle planned to come to our house to pick us up yesterday. We'll give him a surprise later." Wang Ziru took off the padlock hanging on the man's suitcase, locked the side room, and took the child back to her parents' home.
The distance from Hongmei Village to the town is not far, but the road is narrow and a little muddy in the morning. The mother and son walked slowly, and it took more than an hour to reach the town, which normally would only take an adult 30 minutes at most.
I happened to meet the brothers Zhai Qingsong and Zhai Ximo in the town.
"You finished the statement so quickly?" Wang Ziru looked at the two brothers. They should have explained everything clearly.
Zhai Ximo nodded, "We just need to explain it clearly."
They didn't want to mention their mother at all.
Zhai Ximo knew that his wife was going to take their son back to her parents' home, so he said to his eldest brother, "You go back first. Don't work hard these few days. Take a few days off and wait until the wound heals and stabilizes. My father-in-law has guests today. They said that the in-laws are coming to discuss my brother-in-law's marriage at the end of the year."
"It's okay, go ahead."
The two brothers parted at a fork in the road.
Zhai Ximo carried the child on his back, and the couple quickened their pace and hurried towards Longwang Village.
Passing through the town and entering the country road to Longwang Village, Zhai Ximo glanced at the canned food in his wife's hand and asked, "Why are you taking it back to your parents' home?"
"Boer said that he wanted to take it to grandma's house to eat with brother Zhuzi."
"This little guy is really thoughtful! Your grandparents' love for you is not in vain."
"By the way, my brother was here just now, so it was not convenient for me to ask. When you arrived at the police station..." Wang Ziru hesitated to speak.
"We are just going to explain what happened! You don't have to worry about my mother. I have told Chief Zhang that according to the law, she should be detained for a few days. Let the police station comrades educate her about the law. Otherwise, she may cause trouble next time."
What the man said made sense. Fortunately, no children at home were hurt yesterday.
If the old woman is in a bad mood and uses a kitchen knife to chop the child...
It's really unimaginable.
The family went back to her parents' home just the day before yesterday, and came back just two days ago. When the villagers of Longwang Village saw them, they greeted them warmly.
When they got home, Zhu Yan's parents had already arrived at Wang's house.
The two parties were sitting in the yard, with a plate of melon seeds and tea on a small stool beside them and a pile of firewood burning in the middle. It was quite cozy.
Wang Dongsheng was overjoyed when he saw his grandson coming. He quickly took off his cigarette and stood up to greet him. "It's Baoer and mom and dad who are back! Your grandma said she would ask your uncle to pick you up."
"Dad, Mom, we met Zong Hao in town yesterday. I heard that we had guests at home today, so how could we not come?" Zhai Ximo greeted his father-in-law generously.
Then, I saw my mother-in-law coming over with a smile on her face, "Mom, we didn't bring you anything today."
"Look at what you said, how can anyone be so rich that they can bring stuff with them every day!"
"Mom, here are two cans of oranges. Open them and let Zhuzi have a taste. Baoer brought them back specially for Zhuzi to eat." Wang Ziru handed the satin bag in her hand directly to her mother.
He greeted Zhu Yan's parents with a smile.
"Aunt, Uncle, you two are in such good health."
"We are all farmers! Hehehe..." Zhu Yan's mother stood up from the chair with a smile and came over to tease Baoer.
Lin Xiuying opened the silk bag and took a look. She was extremely happy. "Did you buy canned food?"
"I didn't buy it. Secretary Tang from our commune came to our house this morning and delivered it to us specially." Wang Ziru explained lightly.
Several people in the courtyard were quite surprised, but when they heard that Secretary Tang from the commune had gone to their Zhai family, they did not ask any more questions.
Just before their family arrived, they talked about the dangerous incident that happened to the Zhai family yesterday.
Wang Ziru looked around and the only sound she could hear inside the stone house was the sound of people cutting vegetables in the kitchen.
"Where are my brother and Zhuzi?"
Lin Xiuying was holding a can of oranges and said with a smile, "They all went to the dock. Some people in the village came back from fishing. Let's see if there are any big crabs."
Then she led Baoer into the house and said, "Come on, my dear grandson, I'll open the can for you."
"But grandma, brother Zhuzi hasn't come back yet." Baoer was also very sensible. When he heard that cousin Zhuzi and his uncle went to the village dock, they planned to wait for Zhuzi to come back to eat together.
Zhai Ximo was just about to sit down when he heard that his brother-in-law and his family were not at home.
Good!!
"I'm going to the toilet..."
Before Wang Ziru could speak, a tall figure had already walked into the stone house.
Zhai Ximo took his son's soft little hand from his mother-in-law and said, "Bao'er, Daddy will take you to the toilet."
"oh."
The boy was in a very good mood. He held his father's big hand and walked straight to the toilet. When passing his uncle's room, the boy was busy jogging to keep up with his father.
But I found that my father stopped.
"Bao'er, go to your uncle's room and find the book with your mother's photo..." Zhai Ximo suddenly squatted down and whispered in his son's ear.
Bao Er's little face was startled, and he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, Dad, wait for me."
Having said that, he opened the door, went into the room, ran straight to the bed, and searched for the yellowed junior high school Chinese book that his uncle had placed under his pillow.
