The crowd was making a fuss, demanding a result.
The community director arrived quickly. The neighbors all objected to Xiong Jing's family living there, as they had already paid their rent until the end of the month. There was no other way but to find a way to notify the landlord to handle the situation.
The landlord's opinion is also very important as to whether or not to renew the lease.
Seeing that things were not going well, Old Lady Xiong gave Xiong Jing a look and then quickly glanced at Xiong Jing's stomach.
Xiong Jing quickly realized what was happening, clutched her stomach, and lay down on the ground.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much! Someone, come quick, I need to go to the hospital."
Old Mrs. Xiong quickly went to help Xiong Jing.
“My poor daughter, how could she have such a miserable life, even being pregnant she was bullied by them.”
Song Rongrong glanced at her and scoffed, "We didn't stop you from going. If you want to go, then go. But everyone should see clearly that no one bumped into her or pushed her. She fell down because of a stomachache. It has nothing to do with us."
Old Mrs. Xiong shouted angrily, "You've gone too far!"
Xu Guiying raised her eyebrows and said in a loud voice, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Everyone has sharp eyes. You men steal and kill, and we're trying to reason with you. How is that going too far?"
Having achieved their goal, Grandpa Song and his family exchanged a glance with Song Xinfu and his wife before preparing to leave.
Finally, Grandpa Song said, "Zhuang Pinghua and Xiong Shugen have been detained. The police will be looking for you later."
At this point, the Song family prepared to leave.
Jin Xiaowen and several of her neighbors quickly stopped the community director from leaving.
"Director Xu, this matter must be resolved. They dared to steal money and kill people yesterday, and they'll steal from our house tomorrow. If any elderly or child in the family sees this, will they be silenced as well?"
"We'll discuss this when the landlord returns."
"No, we have to give them an explanation today and get rid of them, otherwise we won't feel at ease living here."
"That's right!"
"Get them out of here!"
Old Mrs. Xiong shouted angrily, her face turning pale with rage, "My daughter is pregnant!"
"Do you think I'm God? Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm so great. It's like everyone's had a baby before. Who told you men to steal? You were the ones who came up with the plan, weren't you!"
Xiong Jing's face immediately turned flustered.
"Mom, stop talking, my stomach hurts, go close the door."
The Song family blocked the doorway earlier, but they didn't enter the house, so it didn't constitute trespassing, nor did they damage anything. Old Lady Xiong didn't dare to confront the Song family directly. Now, the people standing outside are all middle-aged women, so Old Lady Xiong isn't afraid anymore.
She walked over and was about to close the door when Jin Xiaowen stopped her.
Enraged, Old Lady Xiong slapped Jin Xiaowen across the face. Jin Xiaowen, not to be outdone, quickly engaged in a fight.
A lock of Jin Xiaowen's hair was pulled out.
Old Lady Xiong was hit several times.
Director Xu hugged Jin Xiaowen around the waist, while another person hugged Old Lady Xiong. It took a lot of effort to separate the two.
Jin Xiaowen spat on Xiong Laoniang's face again.
"Shameless old man!"
Old Mrs. Bear: "You just wait!"
"What are you waiting for? If something happens to me, if anything happens to my family or if anything is missing, it will definitely be you who did it!!!"
Jin Xiaowen, cursing and swearing, was dragged downstairs by Director Xu.
A dozen or so people were downstairs discussing and plotting to drive Xiong Jing's family away.
People from the same building would throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at Xiong Jing's doorstep as they passed by.
Xiong Jing was so angry that her stomach really hurt.
"Mom, what do we do?!"
"I'll go talk to your aunt about it."
Both men went inside at once, leaving no one at home to discuss the matter.
But as soon as Old Lady Xiong opened the door, she saw two policemen standing outside.
"Are you He Shulan? Where is Xiong Jing? Please go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
Old Mrs. Bear's legs were trembling, but she was still pretending not to know.
"Officer, what's the matter?"
"Your husband Xiong Shugen and Xiong Jing's husband Zhuang Pinghua are suspected of theft and intentional injury, which are serious offenses."
...
In the end, Xiong Jing and her mother went to the police station. The two of them insisted that they had nothing to do with the matter and said they didn't know anything about it.
Upon hearing that Song Xiaoxiao had injured two people with a knife, Xiong Jing roared, "Then Song Xiaoxiao is also suspected of assault, she should be arrested too!"
The police officer gave a sarcastic look.
"Song Yun and her daughter acted in self-defense. It was Zhuang Pinghua and his companion who intended to kill them first. It had nothing to do with Song Yun and her daughter. Also, Song Xiaoxiao is under fourteen..."
-
The Song family returned to Heping Lane. It was only noon, and as soon as they got home, Grandma Song went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
I just grabbed a quick bite for lunch today.
Song Yun's eyes were still red and swollen, and she had already changed her clothes. She quickly urged Song Xiaoxiao to change as well.
Song Rongrong found her cousin a set of her clothes to wear.
Song Xiaoxiao felt much better after venting her frustrations in the morning.
Song Yun looked worried. Her shoulder was injured, and she hadn't been able to do business for the past two months. Song Yun planned to hire someone to help her. The shop needed to stay open, otherwise she would lose her old customers.
Xu Guiying went to brew medicine for Song Yangmin, cursing as she did so.
"Damn Zhuang Pinghua and Xiong Jing's family are utterly despicable! After being married for so many years, how could they do such a thing!"
The Song family still feels lingering fear when they think about it now.
If Song Xiaoxiao hadn't taken the kitchen knife into Song Yun's room, Song Yun would probably be dead. Zhuang Pinghua and the other man probably wouldn't have let Song Xiaoxiao off the hook either. If something had happened... the mother and daughter might both have been gone last night.
Grandpa and Grandma Song both had tears in their eyes.
Song Xinfu patted Song Yun's other shoulder, "Sister, why don't you move in here? There are empty courtyards in Heping Lane. You can go to the shop every morning and evening. It's just a bit tiring, but your family is here, so you can take care of each other."
Song Yun's mind is in turmoil. The room is mostly covered in Xiong Shugen and Zhuang Pinghua's blood, and she feels uncomfortable going back to live there.
"Brother, let me think about it."
Song Xiaoxiao also said, "Mom, I also think Uncle is right. Let's live in Heping Lane."
It would be terrible if Xiong Jing or Xiong Laoniang sought revenge later.
Xu Guiying also earnestly advised, "Third sister, Xiaoxiao has a car, and it only takes her half an hour to ride to school every day. You can buy a second-hand bicycle, which will make it more convenient to go to the shop in the morning and evening."
Song Yun quickly made a decision and said yes.
After finishing his noodles, Song Xinfu went out to inquire about news from the courtyard.
The news of Song Yun's affair quickly spread throughout Heping Lane, and the neighbors all joined in cursing the Xiong family for being inhuman. The cursing eventually spread to the Liu family.
That evening, Zeng, who worked at the same factory as Liu Qiangdao, came home from get off work and heard about the incident.
The next day, news of Zhuang Pinghua's robbery and assault with his father-in-law spread throughout the factory.
Last night, after Xiong Laoniang and her daughter were released from the police station, they went to the Liu family to tell them about it. Liu Qiangdao found out that very night, and as a result, the way everyone at the factory looked at him changed when he went to work today.
Liu Qiangdao is Xiong Jing's cousin.
If Xiong Jing's family can do such things, then Liu Qiangdao might do the same. Liu Qiangdao is known for slacking off and being lazy, so people will have even more prejudice against him.
