Finally, Zheng Heping was defeated by Old Mrs. Zheng's wailing and lamenting.
For Jiang Moli, this trip back to her hometown with Zheng Heping and Old Mrs. Zheng finally made her see one thing clearly: Zheng Heping was not unaware of Old Mrs. Zheng's character. However, in this world, how can a son speak ill of his own mother? In addition, Zheng Heping was indeed blindly filial. No matter how badly Old Mrs. Zheng might treat her and Zhenzhen and her daughter in the future, Zheng Heping would always stand on Old Mrs. Zheng's side.
The only positive thing about that trip back to her hometown was that it made Mrs. Zheng realize that she really was an old lady, and after returning to City B, she paid much more attention to the colors she wore.
On the surface, it seems that Mrs. Zheng is indeed slowly accepting the fact that she is getting old. In fact, she doesn't think so in her heart. There is a very famous star in China who is over sixty years old and still plays eighteen-year-old girls all the time. Mrs. Zheng thinks that she can do it too.
So when she heard the cleaning lady call her "master," she immediately became annoyed and rolled her eyes.
The cleaning lady wasn't scared off by Grandma Zheng's disdainful look. Instead, she walked towards Grandma Zheng even more enthusiastically. "Master, a minute ago, you weren't my master because you didn't know me. But now, a minute later, you know me, so of course you're my master."
Grandma Zheng took a step back. "I'm warning you, this is a police station. Don't try to pull any strings. And I'm also warning you, my son is a government official, you..."
"Oh my!" The cleaning lady screamed, interrupting Old Mrs. Zheng. "Master, I didn't know you had such a powerful background! Now that you mention it, I'm even more convinced that you're my master!"
Just moments ago, Xu Moran was the main character in his confrontation with Old Mrs. Zheng, but in the blink of an eye, he became a passerby who wasn't even a supporting character.
The cleaning lady's performance was exaggerated but not over-the-top. Xu Moran didn't know what she was trying to do. She only saw that after praising Old Mrs. Zheng's background, she pretended to perform a formal apprenticeship ceremony for her.
Of course, since it's just a pretense of kneeling to fit the atmosphere, there's no way they'd actually kneel down.
Grandma Zheng then realized she had truly encountered a master, and asked the cleaning lady helplessly, "What do you want from me?"
The cleaning lady looked at Old Mrs. Zheng with a devout expression. "Master, it's nothing really. I just want to ask you, at an age when even our periods have stopped, how do you maintain your charm so that a man decades younger than us wants to rape you? And Master, your charm is so great that the criminal wanted to attack you in the police station?"
The cleaning lady seemed to be humbly asking Old Mrs. Zheng for advice, but in reality, she was using the shameful and disgraceful thing Old Mrs. Zheng had done in the interrogation room to satirize and ridicule her.
Grandma Zheng's face instantly turned bright red, and she said to the cleaning lady, word by word, "Get out of my way!"
This is a recipe for disaster; clearly, Old Mrs. Zheng underestimated the cleaning lady's "skills."
Instead of moving aside, she placed the mop in front of Old Mrs. Zheng. "Are you kidding me? I, Wang Cuihua, have been cleaning the police station for over twenty years. Every policeman I meet is polite to me. You, someone who only knows how to use underhanded methods to help your own son, do you think I'm afraid of you!"
Grandma Zheng was so angry that she touched her chest with her left hand, gasped for breath, and looked like she was about to have a heart attack.
If it were anyone else, seeing Old Mrs. Zheng like this would have terrified them. Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Zheng was unlucky enough to run into Wang Cuihua, the notorious cleaning lady at the police station, who even dared to peek at the chief's size.
Wang Cuihua, the notorious street sweeper of City B Police Station, stared wide-eyed at Old Mrs. Zheng and said, "You dare to have a heart attack? Hehe, if you dare to have one, I'll use my family's ancestral secret technique to save you."
At this point, he seemed to remember Xu Moran standing to the side, "Officer Xu, although you have been in the police station for three years, you have not yet had the opportunity to see our Wang family's ancestral secrets. Wait a moment, and perhaps I will have the opportunity to show them to you soon."
Xu Moran noticed the cleaning lady's choice of words; she used "appreciate" instead of "look." Although it's only one word, the meaning is worlds apart.
The literal meaning of "appreciate" is to enjoy beautiful things and appreciate their charm; while "see" simply means to use one's eyes to observe what is happening.
In other words, when Wang Cuihua, the "sweeping queen" of the police station, performs a rescue for Old Mrs. Zheng when she has a heart attack, it's more for entertainment than for the actual rescue.
This was quite frightening, and it did indeed scare Old Mrs. Zheng.
