"You...I..." After years of being domineering, Old Mrs. Zheng finally felt scared and begged the cleaning lady, "Please forgive me this time, considering our age."
The cleaning lady, holding the mop, not only looked at Old Mrs. Zheng with an extremely domineering air, but also asked her in an equally domineering manner, "Do you really know you were wrong?"
Grandma Zheng nodded vigorously, "Young lady, I really know I was wrong."
"I really think you're incredibly bold." The cleaning lady was from Sichuan, and her Mandarin was mixed with a Sichuan accent. "Don't you even know where you are? Do you know this is a police station? It's a place to catch bad guys and help good people get justice. And you dare to openly do bad things in the police station? Even if you can fool our police officers for a while, you can't escape my sharp eyes, Wang Cuihua."
Grandma Zheng nodded repeatedly, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, dear sister, you are so magnanimous, please forgive me this time."
Although Xu Moran had very few interactions with Old Madam Zheng, he knew very little about her because Jiang Moli mentioned her so frequently.
It's quite difficult to get Grandma Zheng to admit her mistake, which shows that Wang Cuihua, the police station's "sweeping queen," is quite capable.
After Mrs. Zheng apologized again, Wang Cuihua, the police station's "sweeping bully," said to her earnestly, "As the old saying goes, 'If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.' Look at you, at your age, you're still so depraved. Under your influence, how can your son possibly be upright? No wonder he's been staying at the police station since last night and won't let him leave!"
Although the words were unpleasant, they made perfect sense. When Old Mrs. Zheng heard Wang Cuihua, the notorious street sweeper at the police station, talking about her son, she immediately objected. "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is a cadre in the government! I'm here to enjoy my son's retirement, unlike you, who's so old and still cleaning here. Look at you, when you're scrubbing the toilets later, take a good look at yourself in the water, hmph..."
"What are you humming about!" Wang Cuihua, the police station's fierce cleaning lady, suddenly lost her temper. She not only interrupted Old Mrs. Zheng, but also raised the mop to hit her. "If I don't beat you to a pulp today, you won't know what it means to be disrespectful to your elders!"
Grandma Zheng screamed "Wah!" and covered her head with both hands, but the mop didn't hit her head.
She waited a while longer, but nothing happened. Then she lowered her hand from her head and realized that the mop hadn't landed on her head because the crazy woman sweeping had stopped in time, but because someone had grabbed the mop from her hand.
The person who grabbed the mop and saved her from disaster was her daughter-in-law's best friend.
Judging from Old Mrs. Zheng's character and conduct, it would be unlike her to thank Xu Moran at this moment. Xu Moran had no objection to this, but Wang Cuihua, the police station's sweeping queen, was not happy about it.
She didn't really intend to hit Old Mrs. Zheng with a mop. After all, she's someone who's been cleaning at the police station for over twenty years, so she has a sense of the law.
However, seeing that Xu Moran had helped Old Mrs. Zheng without even saying thank you, she got really angry. With the mop still in Xu Moran's hand, she did the two actions of bending over and lifting her foot together, and soon she had a shoe in her hand. Before Xu Moran could stop her, she threw the shoe at Old Mrs. Zheng.
As luck would have it, Old Mrs. Zheng, who was walking forward, suddenly turned around for some reason. Judging from the way she opened her mouth, she was probably unwilling and wanted to say a few harsh words before leaving.
To her surprise, a smelly shoe hit her face without any warning, right at her open mouth...
These shoes smell awful!
Grandma Zheng almost fainted from the fumes. She took several deep breaths before she came to her senses.
Wang Cuihua, the police station's sweeping queen, raised an eyebrow and said smugly to Xu Moran, "Officer Xu, she's lucky. I washed my feet yesterday. If I had known I would be getting shoes thrown at her today, I wouldn't have washed my feet, which I haven't washed in a month."
I wonder what Grandpa Wang, the gatekeeper, would think if he found out that my feet haven't been washed for a month.
Xu Moran, "..."
Given what Wang Cuihua, the notorious sweeper at the police station, did in front of Old Mrs. Zheng, Xu Moran has re-evaluated her. The experienced seniors are right; in the B City police station, sweeper Wang Cuihua is indeed a legendary figure.
After several rounds of exchanges, Old Mrs. Zheng knew that she was no match for the old woman sweeping the police station. With the thought that she could not afford to suffer any more losses, even though there was still the smell of foot odor from her shoes on her nose and lips, she did not bother to argue with Wang Cuihua, the tyrant sweeping the police station.
Old Mrs. Zheng, who believed in the saying "a grown-up doesn't hold grudges against a petty person," fled in panic.
Xu Moran felt it was necessary to thank Wang Cuihua, the police station's "sweeping queen," since she had helped him out of a predicament. However, Wang Cuihua waved her hand righteously, "Officer Xu, don't thank me. Even though the police station is so big, you're the only one willing to listen to this old woman's ramblings."
Thinking of something, Comrade Wang Cuihua, with her experience of living several decades longer than Xu Moran, reminded Xu Moran, "That old lady just now was no good. Quickly call your friend and tell her to be careful."
Wang Cuihua's words did indeed remind Xu Moran that he should call and remind Jiang Moli.
In the past, if she hadn't found Xu Ye, she would definitely have suggested that Jiang Moli bring Zhenzhen to stay at her place for one night. Now that Xu Ye is in the house, it's really inconvenient.
