"What did you just see?" Aunt Zhang asked, knowing her best friend's personality.
"Oh my, Ding Ermei from our village, the one who has a military officer's son, was just arrested by the police. She is still handcuffed!" Aunt Qiu was working, but that did not stop her from talking.
"What?" The vegetables in Aunt Zhang's hand fell into the wooden barrel, splashing water.
Didn't Ding Ermei take her grandson to eat wontons? Could she be arrested by the police for eating wontons?
"You didn't expect that, did you? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a spectacle today." Aunt Qiu said, making "tsk tsk tsk" sounds.
Who is the person that Aunt Qiu hates the most in Zhoujia Village? It must be Ding Ermei.
Ever since Zhou Bingchen became an officer, Ding Ermei has been walking in the village with her head held high.
When a group of old ladies in Zhoujia Village gathered together to chat, and someone said that they had bought meat for dinner today, Ding Ermei would say, "What's so strange about eating meat? When my son Bingchen comes back, he will buy as much meat as I want."
When someone says that they want to buy a bicycle this year, Ding Ermei will say, "When my son Bingchen comes back, I will ask him to buy me a bicycle and take me for a car ride."
After several times, the old ladies in the village were reluctant to bring Ding Ermei along when they chatted.
But Ding Ermei is so shameless!
Ding Ermei would feel uncomfortable if she didn't show off her "military officer son" in the village every two days.
Aunt Qiu had been annoyed by Ding Ermei.
Aunt Qiu's family finally had a meal of meat, but she didn't even wipe her mouth, rubbing her lips with oil to show off when she went out. Unexpectedly, she was belittled by Ding Ermei as worthless.
How could Aunt Qiu be happy with this?
Seeing Ding Ermei in trouble today, Aunt Qiu felt as refreshed from head to toe as if she had eaten a popsicle on a hot day.
"Qiuju, did you really see Ding Ermei being arrested by the police?" Aunt Zhang asked after she came to her senses.
Aunt Zhang looked at the stall of vegetables and felt worried.
It seems that Ding Ermei will not be able to come back today. If these vegetables cannot be sold, will she have to wait here until the evening?
"Yeah! Why would I lie to you? Many people in our village saw it. The village party secretary's younger brother Zhou Dachui also saw it." Aunt Qiu said happily.
"What should we do? How could Ding Ermei be arrested?" Aunt Zhang was so worried that her brows were tightly furrowed.
"I heard that Ding Ermei robbed money, and that...something...molested the young policeman." Aunt Qiu said with a pout.
Aunt Qiu was also misled.
Just now, when Aunt Qiu was standing on the street watching the excitement, there stood next to her a passerby who had just watched the excitement at the wonton stall.
The passerby was standing far away and saw from a distance that Xiao Geng handcuffed Ding Ermei's arms and pressed her to the ground to search her body. Ding Ermei yelled that Xiao Geng was a hooligan.
Passersby thought Ding Ermei was very beautiful and chased after her to see what she looked like.
As a result, he almost poked his own eyes out.
Pooh!
The old woman is so ugly, and she dares to say that the police are bullying her? It must be that the old woman is bullying the police, so the police arrested her.
At this moment, passers-by were overwhelmed with a sense of justice.
Before Ding Ermei's figure disappeared from people's sight, passers-by were already talking about how Ding Ermei "failed to tease a policeman and got caught instead".
Aunt Qiu stood aside, stunned by what she heard.
Ouch! Ding Ermei is already an old and naive woman, but she dares to tease the young police officer with red lips and white teeth? How audacious!
After the passers-by left, Aunt Qiu came to her senses and quickly ran to her old friend Aunt Zhang to share this big gossip.
"Oh my God! Zhou Fugui's family is going to be so embarrassed now." Aunt Zhang was stunned.
"That's right! Ding Ermei will be detained today. I wonder if she will have the nerve to look down on others in the future." Aunt Qiu looked gloating.
"Qiuju, please help me look after the stall. I'll go tell Zhenzhu." Aunt Qiu stood up and said.
"Chunhua, I don't know how you sell these vegetables! Let me go and inform Zhenzhu!" Aunt Qiu was anxious.
"Five cents a handful, you sell it as you like! The money from the stalls on both sides should be kept separate. You have never been to Zhao's house and you don't know the way. I will be back soon." After Aunt Zhang said this, she ran away.
"Hey! So I'm here to work for you, Zhang Chunhua, for nothing? No, it's too tiring. I'll have to ask Zhang Chunhua to treat me to a fried cake later." Aunt Qiu muttered, patted her waist, then squatted down and slowly cleaned up the dishes.
This is Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu had just finished chopping the meat when Aunt Zhang came knocking on the door, panting.
"Aunt, what happened?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
"Pearl! I just heard on the street... that your mother-in-law was arrested by the police. Do you... want to go to the police station to check it out?" Aunt Zhang said while panting.
"Aunt, I know about this. I originally wanted to have lunch and then go back to the village to report the news." Zhao Zhenzhu said calmly.
The world is big, but nothing is bigger than Zhao Zhenzhu’s eating.
What’s more, it’s Ding Ermei’s business.
Zhao Zhenzhu would never go back to the village to report the news on an empty stomach.
Ding Ermei has been arrested anyway, and whether Zhou Fugui knows it earlier or later, the result will be the same.
"Ah?" Aunt Zhang was stunned.
"Aunt, my mother-in-law was at the wonton stall just now..." Zhao Zhenzhu told Aunt Zhang what had happened before.
"Why did I hear that Ding Ermei was arrested for molesting a policeman? Turns out she beat up the policeman?" Aunt Zhang suddenly realized.
That’s what she said!
How dare Ding Ermei tease the police officer? Even if the police officer didn't arrest her, Zhou Fugui wouldn't let her go.
"This is really the case of three people making a tiger! How did the word become like this after being passed around?" Zhao Zhenzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I'll go back to the village to report the news! Zhenzhu, don't show up. I'm afraid that old man Zhou Fugui will be unreasonable and blame you." Aunt Zhang said.
Aunt Zhang was thinking about Zhao Zhenzhu.
Ding Ermei was arrested because Zhao Zhenzhu was unwilling to buy wontons for Ding Ermei.
Although what happened later was done by Ding Ermei herself, Zhou Fugui would definitely not think so.
Aunt Zhang and Zhou Fugui's family have been neighbors for more than ten years. She knows that except for Zhou Bingchen, all the members of the Zhou family are not good people.
"Aunt, there's no need to make a special trip. Many villagers came to the town to attend the market today. Someone must have seen my mother-in-law being arrested. You still have to go back to your parents' home to see your grandmother! You don't have to worry about this matter." Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to trouble Aunt Zhang.
"Well... okay!" Aunt Zhang agreed.
Aunt Zhang was willing to go back to Zhoujia Village to report the news because of Zhao Zhenzhu's face.
Since Zhao Zhenzhu said no, Aunt Zhang didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Besides, Ding Ermei also entrusted a lot of vegetables to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang felt that she had helped a lot by being able to sell Ding Ermei's vegetables today.
It was not only Aunt Qiu who misunderstood that Ding Ermei was arrested for "teasing the young policeman", but also Zhou Dachui and his wife, villagers of Zhoujia Village, who were standing next to Aunt Qiu and watching the fun.
After watching the fun, Aunt Qiu came to Aunt Zhang to chat about gossip.
Zhou Dachui ran towards Zhoujia Village.
