The voices of the villagers chattering came to Wu Jinfeng from all directions. Wu Jinfeng's face turned red and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It's so embarrassing! She's almost lost all her decades of reputation!
Wu Jinfeng never expected that when she wanted to do something bad to Zhao Yunxiang, nothing happened to Zhao Yunxiang, but she was handcuffed instead.
Zhou Zhimei didn't sleep well last night. Although the doctor had repositioned her dislocated ankle, it still hurts.
Zhou Zhimei couldn't sleep because of the pain, so she had to take it out on her husband Wang Xiaoqiang. She either said she was thirsty and asked Wang Xiaoqiang to pour her some water, or she asked Wang Xiaoqiang to carry her to the toilet when she needed to pee.
Wang Xi was still young, and he needed both milk and diapering all night. Zhou Zhimei couldn't move, so Wang Xiaoqiang had to do it all. Wang Xiaoqiang had never endured such exhaustion before. Later in the night, no matter if Zhou Zhimei called him or pinched him, Wang Xiaoqiang would snore loudly.
Without someone to bother him, Zhou Zhimei gradually fell asleep. Before falling asleep, Zhou Zhimei gnashed his teeth, thinking about how to get the bicycle from Zhao Yunxiang. If Wu Jinfeng and Zhou Zhimei hadn't promised to see Zhao Yunxiang suffer the next day, Zhou Zhimei would definitely not have let it go.
Gu Dahua did not sleep well all night. Yesterday afternoon, she saw with her own eyes that her mother-in-law stayed in front of an office in the hospital for a long time, and then went to the town government alone.
The town government was an ancient yamen! Gu Dahua felt her calves tremble even when she walked through that doorway. What was her mother-in-law doing there alone?
After Wu Jinfeng returned to the hospital, Gu Dahua pretended to be curious and asked Wu Jinfeng a few questions.
When Gu Dahua mentioned Zhao Yunxiang, Wu Jinfeng said with a look of disdain, "I wonder if that bitch Zhao Yunxiang will still be able to be so arrogant after she's labeled a bad element tomorrow?"
Gu Dahua smacked her lips in surprise. Could bad elements just let anyone do whatever they wanted? Did her mother-in-law have connections in the government?
Zhou Miaomiao, who was standing by, heard Wu Jinfeng scolding Zhao Yunxiang, and she also scolded, "Bitch! Bad person!" This made Wu Jinfeng hug Zhou Miaomiao and call her her good granddaughter.
Zhou Miaomiao had been hating Zhao Yunxiang for a while now. Ever since she pushed Zhou Yuanyuan into the water, Zhao Yunxiang had become a completely different person. Not only was she not happy to see Zhou Miaomiao, but the candies and other small snacks she used to give her were nowhere to be found.
Early in the morning, Gu Dahua heard some noise outside, and quickly kicked Zhou Zhiqiang, put on her clothes, and rolled out of bed.
"You bitch, what are you doing?" Zhou Zhiqiang was woken up by a kick from Gu Dahua while he was half asleep. He was in a bad mood when he woke up.
"Hurry up, there's something exciting to watch!" Gu Dahua remembered what her mother-in-law had said yesterday and was determined to make Zhao Yunxiang laugh today. Humph! So what if your husband dotes on you? So what if your family is powerful? Once Zhao Yunxiang becomes a "bad guy," will Zhou Zhixin still treat her like a treasure?
Zhou Zhiqiang jumped up as soon as he heard there was something exciting to see. It was winter, and the villagers didn't have to work. They were so idle at home that grass would grow on them. So, there was something exciting to see? He'd be foolish not to see it!
When Zhou Zhiqiang and Gu Dahua rushed to Zhou Zhigang's door, Zhou Zhigang and Li Chunjiao also walked out. Li Chunjiao had been watching over Zhou Zhimei the previous day and didn't know Wu Jinfeng had reported Zhao Yunxiang. However, she was curious about what was going on after hearing the commotion at home so early in the morning.
Zhou Zhigang thought that his mother and Zhao Yunxiang were fighting again. When he was in the house, he vaguely heard Wu Jinfeng's screams.
Zhou Zhiqiang and Gu Dahua ran away, fearing that they would not have a good seat to watch the excitement. When they reached the gate, they saw Wu Jinfeng being pulled up from the ground by Lao Li. The handcuffs on Wu Jinfeng's hands made Zhou Zhiqiang and his wife dumbfounded.
Zhou Zhiqiang came to his senses, covered Gu Dahua's mouth with one hand, and pulled her by the collar with the other hand, dragging her back to the room. After closing the door, Zhou Zhiqiang slapped Gu Dahua in the face with a loud slap.
This stinky woman! What's her intention? She knows I'm making a fool of myself, but she still lets me watch the fun?
Gu Dahua covered half of her face, wanting to cry but unable to. What...what was going on? Didn't her mother-in-law say that Zhao Yunxiang was the unlucky one? How did it become her mother-in-law herself?
Zhou Zhigang and Li Chunjiao lagged behind by a step. They saw Zhou Zhiqiang and Gu Dahua glance out the door and then walk back with changed expressions. Li Chunjiao secretly shuddered, knowing that today's excitement might not be good.
"Zhigang, my stomach hurts. Ouch! I need to go to the toilet first." Li Chunjiao covered her stomach and ran to the toilet next to her vegetable garden.
Lazy people poop a lot! Zhou Zhigang rolled his eyes fiercely at Li Chunjiao's back and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Chunping was standing in the middle of the gate, with a pair of strong hands supporting his body. Zhou Zhigang could not see Zhou Zhixin's body because of the stone wall beside the door.
"Brother, come and help Dad." Zhou Zhixin saw Zhou Zhigang and called out quickly.
Zhou Zhigang was stunned when he heard Zhou Zhixin's voice. He then walked to the door and supported Zhou Chunping instead of Zhou Zhixin.
"San'er, why are you back? When did you arrive home?" Zhou Chunping was a little surprised. He had always thought that it was his eldest son or second son who supported him, but he didn't expect it was Zhou Zhixin who was thousands of miles away.
"Dad," Zhou Zhixin called out. Without bothering to answer Zhou Chunping, he quickly stepped forward and said to Qiao Aiguo, "Aiguo! My mom isn't a bad person. She's just a little ignorant. Can you ask the police to remove her handcuffs?"
Zhou Zhixin knew that if Wu Jinfeng was handcuffed and arrested by the police in public today, even if she was released in a few days, the whole village would treat her like a venomous snake and a ferocious beast.
Rural people are simple and honest, and they firmly believe that anyone handcuffed is a bad person, especially a bad one. The most urgent thing is to ask Qiao Aiguo to remove the handcuffs from Wu Jinfeng's hands to save her face.
"Zhixin, you have to make sure your mother doesn't run around. I'll go talk to Lao Li." Qiao Aiguo was very smart and made a request immediately.
A rural woman like Wu Jinfeng was a nervous wretch. She might not even know what she would do next. Otherwise, she wouldn't have pushed Xiao Zhang down and tried to escape when she heard she was going to the police station to assist in the investigation.
She didn't even think about where she could escape to.
However, Qiao Aiguo and Zhou Zhixin are old comrades-in-arms. They had a good relationship when they were in the army. Qiao Aiguo had to give face to Zhou Zhixin's request.
"Okay, I'll go talk to my mom," Zhou Zhixin agreed readily. In his opinion, what was the big deal? Wu Jinfeng had falsely accused Zhao Yunxiang, and Zhao Yunxiang, for his sake, would definitely not hold Wu Jinfeng responsible. Wu Jinfeng only needed to go to the police station to explain the situation. Was there any need to panic?
