A loud shout rang out from inside the compound: "Police!"
This caused quite a stir.
Tenants opened their doors one after another, peeking out to look around.
For onlookers, what could be more entertaining than watching the police?
These tenants were burning with gossip.
They flocked in, completely surrounding the center of the courtyard:
"Huh? Why are the police here?"
"I don't know, I just heard someone knocking on Granny Cao's door."
"Could it be that her eldest grandson caused trouble?"
"Cao Yong? That kid doesn't look like a good person at all."
"I heard that they are lawless at school, and the teachers don't care. They fight all the time."
"Did you hurt someone's child?"
"This is going to be interesting. He'll probably be locked up in a labor camp."
"It's better to go in, so he won't cause trouble for people outside."
The tenants all pointed the finger at Cao Yong, the eldest grandson of the grandmother.
This guy is a real scoundrel.
A guy that everyone hates and dogs despise.
If it weren't for Granny Cao's unreasonable and domineering protection...
The tenants in the compound beat Cao Yong eighteen times a day.
But clearly, they were wrong.
The police's real purpose in coming was to investigate the criminal activities of Cao's mother-in-law.
When Cao's mother-in-law heard that the police had arrived, she was inside the house.
He opened the door and asked, "Officer? What's up?"
The police were completely dumbfounded.
At the door, the police officer asked Wu Changfeng to tell him who was impersonating the landlord and collecting rent.
Wu Changfeng pointed to the door of Cao's family's house and said, "The older people inside are the ones who live there."
The police officer assumed that the older man was around forty or fifty years old.
When the door opened, an old lady who looked almost seventy years old came out.
I was completely dumbfounded.
She's too old; you can't question her harshly, or she might have a heart attack.
The officer remained expressionless and asked, "Is it true that someone reported you for impersonating a landlord and collecting rent?"
Grandma Cao looks old, but she's incredibly strong.
He was a highly skilled and well-known figure in the compound.
He replied directly, "Who reported me? I think they don't want to stay in this compound anymore!"
"Who is it! Show yourself!"
Grandma Cao completely ignored the police officer and pointed at the group of people in the courtyard, yelling, "You damned bunch, you really can't stand to see me doing well, can you?"
"We've given you a few good days, and you've become so arrogant."
"They're really bullying us orphans and widows! Have they no shame?!"
"Officer, you must stand up for me! They're bullying us because they're young and strong!"
"They must be after my daughter-in-law's looks."
"This is a crime! Officer, arrest the person who reported me!"
police officer:……
What is all this?!
Is he out of his mind?
This is about dealing with your problem; how did it get dragged into the fact that someone has taken a liking to your daughter-in-law?
Neuropathy!
As a local police officer, I've seen all sorts of people.
I've never seen anyone come up and not take the initiative to admit their own problems, but instead immediately turn around and blame others.
I'm impressed!
The officer said, "No one is bullying you, and no one wants your daughter-in-law, understand?"
"I don't understand!" Granny Cao shouted, "They must be angry with me because I'm old and don't want to die, so they want to take it out on my daughter-in-law!"
"Officer, you must arrest these people, otherwise you'll be responsible if anything happens to my daughter-in-law!"
Holy crap!
The officer, with a slight toothache, asked, "Do you have evidence? Someone is spying on your daughter-in-law?"
"Be self-aware!" said Granny Cao.
The people inside the compound all scoffed.
Don't cause any trouble.
Who doesn't have a wife?
If anyone is spying on your daughter-in-law, it's Fu Dazhuang.
Arresting him is fine too; this guy is an unreasonable person.
At this moment, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Wang, and Grandpa Li also arrived.
Grandpa Zhang smiled and said to the police officer, "We are all employees of Linxi Coal Mine. I am from the management committee."
The officer nodded: "Try to calm the old woman down first. I have important business to attend to; she's started biting people randomly."
Grandpa Zhang asked, "What exactly happened?"
“Someone reported her for impersonating a landlord and collecting rent, which is fraud.”
Grandpa Zhang was taken aback: "No way? Is there some misunderstanding?"
The officer said sternly, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll have to ask him first."
Grandpa Zhang grunted, then said to Granny Cao, "Don't make trouble for me, the police officer is asking you questions."
"Who do you think you are!" When Granny Cao's temper flared up, she became ruthless and unforgiving, showing no regard for even her own family.
Grandpa Wang scolded, "Stop messing around! The officer's time is precious. Explain clearly and let them go home immediately."
"Whose time isn't precious? I'm practically half-buried!" said Granny Cao. "Wasting even a second with you is like losing my life!"
Grandma Cao had her own plans.
My own documents were indeed forged.
The only way to get through this is to act recklessly and make things difficult.
It really can't stand up to scrutiny.
Only by concealing the truth can they continue to collect rent.
Grandpa Li sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but then shut his mouth.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Wang were so embarrassed they almost vomited blood.
I thought the three of them had formed an alliance on the issue of rent.
But today, Grandma Cao's behavior is a bit unusual.
You have obtained authorization from the head of the Hu family, what are you afraid of!
Even if you investigate thoroughly and turn the place upside down, you're still in the right, aren't you?
The police officer was quite annoyed by Cao's mother-in-law's shameless behavior and refusal to answer questions directly.
In the past, others would have already fastened the silver bracelet.
