The next morning, Xu Guiying got up before dawn.
A commotion came from the alley entrance. "Guiying, Guiying, you need to go to the police station right away! Your husband, Lao Song, is fighting with the Zhang family!"
Xu Guiying didn't even have time to eat breakfast before she ran out immediately, and her second, third, and fourth sons all poked their heads out of the room.
The fifth brother is still sleeping inside.
The second son frowned, put on his clothes, and said, "I'm going to the police station."
The third brother's eyes darted around. "Second brother, I have something to do today. You go ahead and take care of it. I'll come back to you guys when I'm done."
After yesterday's commotion, the third son was truly afraid of Xu Guiying. He was worried that things might get complicated if he waited too long, so since his mother wasn't home today, he went to his grandparents' house to get some money.
"Third Brother, what are you going to do?" Song Rongrong didn't get back until nine o'clock last night. Not daring to make any noise and disturb Xu Guiying, she quietly washed up and went into the room to sleep.
Song Anmin waved his hand, "Don't worry about it."
The second son caught up with Xu Guiying in no time.
At the entrance of the police station, Song Xinfu had a bruise on his face, and Zhang's father wasn't in much better shape. The Zhang family members pointed and whispered at Song Xinfu, while a policeman stood between the two groups.
"Shut up, all of you! Be quiet!"
Last night, Zhang's mother and Zhang Qingli went back to the Zhang family home, leaving only Zhang's father, Zhang Hongwei, and Li Minggen at the police station to wait for news.
Song Xinfu and Song Guomin were also at the police station. There were police officers guarding the station at night, but they weren't there when the police changed shifts in the morning. That's when Song Xinfu and Old Man Zhang started fighting.
Song Xinfu had never seen such a shameless person.
"Officer, the Zhang family is still refusing to admit their mistakes. Li Xiaozhi can't escape the charge of hooliganism. They even dare to beat up ordinary people in front of the police station. Arrest them all! Execute them all!"
Xu Guiying rushed forward and slapped Song Xinfu on the shoulder, "You old man, shut up."
When Song Xinfu saw Xu Guiying arrive, he shrugged and remained silent.
Xu Guiying glared at Song Guomin in the blink of an eye, "They're fighting and you didn't stop them, were you just standing there like a wooden stake?"
Song Guomin felt that his mother was like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.
"Mom, they're going to fight. Can I stop them? What if I get hurt in the face? How am I supposed to go to work?"
Speaking of going to work, Song Guomin is about to leave now.
"Mom, I'm going to be late for work if I don't hurry."
Xu Guiying was annoyed just looking at him. "Get out of here, get the hell away from me!"
Song Guomin: "..."
Just then, the second son arrived. Song Guomin said, "Second son, you stay with Mom and Dad. I have to go to work now."
Second brother: "Big brother, you go ahead, I'll take care of things here."
Xu Guiying glanced at the second son.
The second son is a simpleton; he does whatever the eldest son says. The eldest son and Liu Aimei have been married for four years and now have a son and a daughter. Yesterday morning, Liu Aimei took her children back to her parents' home.
In recent years, Xu Guiying has been working while taking care of her grandchildren and feeding the whole family. Her son and daughter-in-law have never helped her. The money that Xu Guiying and her husband earn has to be used to supplement the family income.
Xu Guiying asked her second son to go buy some breakfast first.
Old Master Zhang was still pointing and gesturing at Xu Guiying.
Xu Guiying sneered, "This is only because you didn't raise your son well! Like father, like son, who knows how many young girls he's ruined!"
"You old hag, you're not allowed to slander my son!" Li Minggen was so angry his eyes were about to explode.
Xu Guiying frowned and said nothing more.
There was a ruthless glint in Li Minggen's eyes. If he did something, Xu Guiying and the others wouldn't dare to mess with him, but Li Xiaozhi had to pay the price for this!
When the sun rose at nine o'clock in the morning, the Song family elders finished breakfast, and then Zhang's mother and Zhang Qingli arrived.
The police called both families inside.
Zhang Xiaozhi and his accomplices were convicted of hooliganism and were to be executed. There was no escaping it. Zhang Qingli and her mother cried and cursed.
Zhang Qingli: "Old woman, I want to break up with Song Jianmin!"
Xu Guiying was eager for the two to break up. "Do as you please. If you like Song Jianmin, take him away and bring him back to your Zhang family. He will have nothing to do with our Song family then."
Xu Guiying's attitude hadn't changed from yesterday to today, and Zhang Qingli panicked. She quickly looked at her mother, wondering what would happen if Xu Guiying really didn't want to marry Song Jianmin.
Song Jianmin is mentally challenged, so Zhang Qingli can control him. The Song family is also wealthy, and the elderly couple still have jobs.
Old Lady Zhang gestured to Zhang Qingli to calm down.
Song Xinfu glanced at his wife, whose expression was strange. He thought to himself, "Never mind, I'll ask her when I get home."
The Song family refused to settle, demanding that the case be handled according to procedure. The case still needs to be finalized by the procuratorate. The police station's procedures have been completed, and Li Xiaozhi and his companion have been detained. They will never be released and will be executed.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu returned to the Song family.
No one is home. Some are at work, some are at school, and the second child is going to the military base at noon.
Xu Guiying suddenly asked, "Where's the third brother?"
The second brother said, "The third brother went out on business."
Song Xinfu looked at his wife and asked, "What did the third son do to you again?"
Xu Guiying slapped her thigh and grabbed Song Xinfu, "Let's go, let's go to Mom and Dad's!"
Song Xinfu is the eldest son, with younger brothers and sisters. His younger brother's family lives in the town, while his younger sister is married and lives in the suburbs. They only visit each other during holidays. Song's grandparents now live in the countryside, not far from their second son's family.
The Song family has a second-hand bicycle, which they bought from the second-hand market for 80 yuan. They rode it for two years without any major problems.
Song Xinfu rode his bicycle with Xu Guiying to the countryside, which took an hour and a half by bicycle.
On the way, Song Xinfu asked, "Guiying, how did you know that Li Xiaozhi bullied Yingying yesterday?"
Xu Guiying complained that he was riding too slowly, "What do you care how I know? Pedal faster!"
The bicycle made a rattling sound from its chain.
Xu Guiying was afraid the car would fall apart halfway through the journey.
She couldn't help but feel sad. In her past life, she first sold her job to buy a house for her eldest son. Later, her third son incurred gambling debts, so the old couple sold the house. Old Song sold his job and could only do odd jobs on construction sites. He became sick and had no pension. He worked hard for most of his life and was eventually killed in a car accident.
The elderly couple never had a single good day.
