The police quickly uncovered the affair between the Chen family and Old Lady Xiong. Chen Jiamu was already an adult, and he not only intentionally stole but also injured a passerby. Even though he had reconciled with Old Lady Xiong in private, he was still taken away by the police in the end.
Chen Qing and Mi Xiuhua could not stop them and cried out that they had committed a terrible sin.
She gave birth to that money-losing son Chen Zhou, and her only son was taken away by the police!
In the dead of night, Mi Xiuhua couldn't help but think.
If Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou hadn't gone to rescue Liu Aimei back then...
If Liu Aimei were simply killed by Xiong Jing, and then the body disposed of and hidden away...
Maybe they wouldn't have found Chen Jiamu, and he wouldn't have been taken away...
After raising him with great care for over ten years, and just as he was about to start his own family and career, his perfectly healthy son was taken away!
Mi Xiuhua went mad, and Chen Qing wasn't much better off. The news of Chen Jiamu's affair had already spread throughout the neighborhood. Chen Qing's coworkers all lived nearby, and people in the factory pointed and whispered about Chen Qing every day.
After losing their grandson, Chen Qing's parents cried and made a fuss every day, and even wanted Mi Xiuhua and Chen Qing to have another child.
Live, live, live!
Even if the couple can have more children, will they be able to afford to raise them?
The family is now several hundred yuan in debt!
Chen Qing's mother told him to go to Chen Zhou to ask for money. "Then go to Chen Zhou. Such a big thing happened in the family, and it's related to her. She has to take responsibility!"
Mi Xiuhua's voice was sharp and piercing, "Yes, yes, find Chen Zhou! Chen Zhou and Song Jianmin are the culprits, they should be held responsible for this!"
The four members of the Chen family went to Heping Lane that day and met Xu Guiying, who was returning from buying groceries.
Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou went to Phoenix Pavilion to help out, while the other four guarded Chen Zhou's door.
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes: "Why are you here again?"
Mi Xiuhua looked ten years older these past few days, glaring at Xu Guiying: "You still have the nerve to ask! Whether it was you who instigated Chen Zhou and Song Jianmin to go to Chuanfu Town or not, what business is it of yours? Our family affairs are none of your concern!"
Xu Guiying put her vegetable basket on the wooden shelf by the door, pushed Mi Xiuhua aside, and stood at Chen Zhou's door.
For months, no one has come to argue with Xu Guiying.
If we don't teach these people a lesson, they'll become utterly arrogant and ignorant.
"What is your relationship with Chen Zhou?"
"We are her parents!"
Xu Guiying sneered, "Parents? Your so-called parents are just people who have suppressed Chen Zhou, who studies hard, since he was a child because of your mentally challenged son. Chen Zhou must have been born into your family because he was cunning and didn't see the right path!"
“You lot, you gave birth to him but didn’t raise him, you’re not fit to be Chen Zhou’s parents at all. Now that your mentally challenged son is in trouble, you want Chen Zhou to go back and fix things? You’re dreaming! Let me tell you, it’s impossible!”
Chen Qing and the other three blushed and shouted, "Shut up! You're Song Jianmin's mother, of course you'll take his side. This is a family matter, it's none of your business!"
"I live in Heping Lane, so I'm going to take care of this! Aren't you leaving yet?" Xu Guiying shouted, calling out Song Xinfu's name.
Song Xinfu rushed over and, seeing the Chen family arrive, sneered, "What's going on here?"
Xu Guiying: "Call the police! Those beasts from the Chen family are disturbing the peace again."
Song Xinfu rolled up his sleeves and strode out, saying, "If we don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really think we're easy to bully."
As soon as Song Xinfu stepped out of the alley, he ran into Mo Hong, who was wearing a police uniform.
Mo Hong frowned. "Big brother, where are you going?"
Song Xinfu's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "It's just in time that you've arrived. The Chen family is causing trouble again."
Mo Hong instantly understood Song Xinfu's meaning. With a dark face, he walked forward, looking at the people standing at Chen Zhou's door.
Xu Guiying immediately said, "Officer Mo, it's them! They have a son who brings trouble to his family, committing robbery, theft, and assault. His son has been arrested, and now they're taking their daughter home!"
The Chen family members' expressions changed drastically; they hadn't expected the police to be nearby!
Mi Xiuhua, her teeth chattering, said, "Officer, this is a family matter, a family matter. We haven't broken the law."
Mo Hong approached, sized up the group, and said coldly, "Chen Zhou is already an adult. Even his parents have no right to demand that he go home. Some residents have already complained about your disturbance. Are you trying to get yourself into trouble by making trouble again and again?!"
Chen Qing's legs went weak. "The police notified us, we didn't mean that, we didn't mean that! We'll leave now, we'll leave now..."
Chen Qing's mother was also scared. She didn't dare to say another word, grabbed her husband, bent over, and ran away quickly.
Xu Guiying: "It's good that you came. You're back so early today?"
He was still wearing a police uniform?
Mo Hong: "I was handling a case outside the city and stopped by to pick up some things on my way back to the station."
Song Xinfu: "Alright then, anyway, the Chen family shouldn't dare to come again."
Mo Hong glanced at Chen Zhou's door and smiled, "Fifth brother did a good job this time."
Xu Guiying curled her lips, "At least he has some conscience."
That's the opinion of her own mother.
When Chen Zhou and Song Jianmin returned in the afternoon, they heard about the incident. Chen Zhou felt bad about it, so he bought fruit and went to the Song family's house, and also delivered some to Song Yun's house.
At the time, only Song Xiaoxiao and Song Yun were at home. Song Yun told her not to be polite, that it was nothing she should do.
Chen Zhou was deeply moved. Moving to Heping Lane and getting to know everyone was the best thing she had done in the past few years.
Song Xiaoxiao whispered to Chen Zhou, "Sister Chen Zhou, are you and my fifth brother...?"
Song Xiaoxiao poked at the hole with her index fingers, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Chen Zhou's eyes widened, and he denied it, saying, "That's not true!"
"What do you mean, 'nothing'?" Old Five appeared out of nowhere behind Chen Zhou.
