Chapter 273 Do you want me to pursue this matter?
Zheng Xiulan's heart skipped a beat when she was called.
Looking up, she saw her son's frighteningly grim expression. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Navy, she's just trying to scare you. She won't jump..."
Zhang Haijun gave her a cold look.
Zheng Xiulan gave a sullen smile.
"Comrade, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out."
One of the two police officers stepped forward to persuade the person, while the other waited for an opportunity to rescue them.
The neighbors who were watching also chimed in, "It's the Navy family's house, this is the fourth floor, jumping down will kill someone, please don't do anything rash..."
"Think about your son, can you bear to see him without a mother?"
Su Hongying sobbed.
She said, "I couldn't go on living like this. I kindly made some pig's trotters and sent them to my mother-in-law's workplace. In front of so many of her colleagues, she said that I gave her leftovers..."
"Su Hongying!"
Knowing what she was about to say, Zhang Haijun's brow twitched, and he quickly spoke up to stop her.
Su Hongying looked up at him through tear-filled eyes, "Hailar Brother, your mother is driving me to my death. I don't care about anything else anymore. I want to die with a clear conscience! It's clearly your mother who ate something that gave her diarrhea, but she insists that I poisoned her pig's trotters. We called the police, and the officers searched her house, but she still insists it was me. She's framing me, trying to get me thrown in jail! She just can't stand me, she doesn't want me to be with you..."
Su Hongying cried pitifully, and Zhang Haijun's face became extremely ugly and embarrassed because of her words.
The neighbors who were watching the commotion sighed in disbelief.
Someone muttered under their breath, "That's really going too far."
"Navy Mom seems like a very gentle person, so why is she treating her daughter-in-law like this?"
"...It seems like they've been arguing a lot these past few days. I heard that her second daughter-in-law was kicked out, and her second son is now living outside with his second daughter-in-law."
The whispers carried exceptionally clearly in the narrow stairwell.
Zheng Xiulan's face looked extremely ugly.
She glared at Su Hongying and called out to Zhang Haijun, "See? This is your good wife, slandering me in front of outsiders. I'll be the subject of gossip from now on!"
Zhang Haijun pursed his lips and looked at Su Hongying.
"Get down, stop fooling around."
Su Hongying sneered inwardly. Why didn't you say this when your mother was bullying me? Now you want me to stop making a scene? Dream on!
She was just wondering whether to expose the fact that Zheng Xiulan had pushed her down when she caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of her eye, being pulled back from the railing by one of the police officers.
The arm snapped.
"ah."
Su Hongying exclaimed in surprise and instinctively shook her arm...
It's dislocated.
Su Hongying was a little dazed. Looking at her limp arm, she looked up at the police officer who had rescued her. The officer also realized that he had dislocated her arm and coughed awkwardly.
"Excuse me, comrade, let me connect it for you."
After her arm was reattached, Su Hongying shook it and felt no discomfort. She thanked the police.
The police officer wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, and said, "Let's talk this out. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. You still have children and family. You need to cherish your life."
Su Hongying nodded.
With the stairwell blocked by the neighbors, it wouldn't be easy to leave anytime soon, so Zhang Haijun, with a cold face, led Su Hongying back into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, Zheng Xiulan spat at Su Hongying.
He grumbled, "I told you she didn't dare jump at all, she was just faking it to scare people, otherwise she would have jumped already, why would she wait for the police to rescue her? Navy, don't be fooled by her."
"Mom, can you please shut up and stop talking?"
Zhang Haijun clenched his fists, looking like he was about to reach his limit of patience, and frowned as he looked at Zheng Xiulan.
Zheng Xiulan shut up and glared at Su Hongying.
Su Hongying stood motionless beside Hang Haijun with her eyes lowered.
The two police officers exchanged a glance, sighed, and advised Zheng Xiulan, "Comrade, you can't encourage her to jump off the building like this. You're harming someone. Encouraging someone to jump off a building is also illegal. If your daughter-in-law investigates, you will be criminally detained."
The police officer's words successfully silenced the room instantly.
Zheng Xiulan's breath hitched. She looked at the police officer and asked, "What do you mean?"
The police officer repeated what he had just said, and everyone's eyes turned to Su Hongying.
Su Hongying looked at Zhang Haijun and asked him, "Brother Haijun, do you want me to pursue this matter?"
Zhang Haijun glanced at Zheng Xiulan, then his gaze fell on Su Hongying's reddened eyes, and he shook his head.
Su Hongying smiled disappointedly, nodded, and said, "I know your mother is more important to you than me. I'll listen to you, I won't pursue this..."
What's the point of detaining someone for a few days?
What she wanted was never simple legal punishment.
She wanted Zheng Xiulan to suffer the same excruciating pain she felt while waiting in the operating room to sign the surgical consent form and undergo surgery, to live a life worse than death before she could feel satisfied!
A hint of smugness flashed across Zheng Xiulan's face.
The police officer sighed and said he would call them again if anything came up.
After seeing the police off, Su Hongying began packing her things in silence. Zhang Haijun didn't stop her. Zheng Xiulan sat on the living room sofa with the fan on, watching the commotion.
Su Hongying tried to harm her, but ended up getting the short end of the stick herself, so it was better that she left.
It would be best if she divorced her son and then found a suitable wife for the Navy.
Zhang Haijun saw his mother's gloating and felt a mix of emotions. He decided to move out as planned.
Separate the two of them for a while. After some time, his mother might see the value in Su Hongying and treat her better, just like before.
Su Hongying tidied her clothes and looked at Zhang Haijun.
"Take my clothes with you, and we'll stay in a hotel together. I'll be at work during the day, and you can take the kids and find an apartment near my workplace."
"Hey Navy Bro, do you want to move out with me?"
Zhang Haijun nodded.
Su Hongying was overjoyed and put down her own clothes to tidy up Zhang Haijun's clothes.
Zheng Xiulan got anxious again.
Zhang Haijun looked at her and said, "Mom, don't say anything or try to persuade me. Since you two can't get along, don't force it. I won't divorce Su Hongying, and don't even think about finding me someone else. I don't want my child to live with a stepmother."
“Navy, Su Hongying has no good intentions…” Zheng Xiulan stamped her feet.
Zhang Haijun was tired of hearing this, and said, "Mom, it's because you can't tolerate her. Don't speak so badly of her. Even if she's bad, she's trying to please you for my sake. She almost killed you because of you, so what do you want from her?"
He kept repeating this over and over, which was rather pointless.
Let's just separate, then we can both have some peace and quiet.
He feels really tired now. Where did that peaceful life go?
"Navy, all packed up."
Zhang Haijun nodded, picked up the child, and left with Su Hongying.
Zheng Xiulan chased after them for a few steps, but stopped when she saw the neighbors cooking and talking outside. She didn't want to gossip or be judged by others anymore.
She felt ashamed.
Zhang Haijun took Su Hongying to a nearby hotel to stay in.
The next day, Zhang Haijun went to work, while Su Hongying took her child out for a stroll. After breakfast, she timed her call to Fan Liangyu from a public phone booth by the roadside.
"How are things going on your end?"
