Chapter 169 Without your second uncle, could I be your second aunt?
"At first I thought it might be a thief, so I shouted 'Stop thief!' and went to pin the person down."
"It seemed like someone outside heard what I was doing, so they blew a few whistles, waking up all the neighbors..."
He doesn't need to fabricate what happened next; just tell the truth.
When the police officer in charge learned that Zhang Dashun had actually come to poison the animals, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The person who reported the incident said that a poisoning case had occurred, and it turned out to be true. They were just lucky that they were caught in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The police officer leading the team imagined the scene and felt a chill run down his spine.
After all, they will also be held accountable for causing such a big case.
Composing himself, he nodded: "Okay, Director Song, you'll come back with me to the station to give a statement."
Song Xingzhi frowned: "Do we all have to go?"
He spread his hands: "We have several children at home, and now that this has happened, they are all hiding inside and too scared to come out... Could I go instead?"
The police officer in charge thought it made sense, so he waved to one of the officers and said, "Xiao Zhang, come over here and help this Ms. Zhang take her statement!"
Xiao Zhang came over immediately.
Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi had already agreed on their story, so their statements didn't differ much. The only difference was that Zhang Chunxue said she was awakened by Song Xingzhi's voice, so she came out to check the situation.
After the statement was taken, Song Xingzhi followed several police officers back to the police station.
Zhang Dashun was also forced to leave by them.
Zhang Chunxue didn't want the rags that had been soiled by Zhang Dashun, so she tidied them up and threw them directly into the trash can.
She washed her hands carefully again, scrubbing them several times with soap, just in case there was still rat poison residue on them.
At this point, the neighbors also began to disperse in twos and threes.
Zhang Chunxue also reminded them to remember to wash their hands when they got home, and it would be best to take off their clothes and wash them several times as well.
The fear is that someone might accidentally give the medicine to their family member.
Everyone nodded repeatedly before slowly dispersing.
The courtyard returned to tranquility.
Just as Zhang Chunxue closed the courtyard gate, the door next to her creaked open a crack.
Song Yanzhe poked his head out from inside.
His eyes were full of excitement: "Second Aunt, the person has been arrested now, right?"
Zhang Chunxue nodded slightly: "The person has been arrested, so you can sleep peacefully now."
Song Yanzhe shook his head: "I'm too excited, I definitely won't be able to sleep."
Zhang Chunxue was both amused and exasperated: "You still need to sleep! What time is it?"
Song Yanshen also emerged from behind Song Yanzhe, his face also showing concern.
Not only them, but even Zhou Mingli's room had a head popping out.
Zhang Chunxue was both amused and exasperated: "Go to sleep! I'll tell you all about it tomorrow morning."
Although Song Yanzhe felt as uncomfortable as if he were being scratched by a cat, since Zhang Chunxue had already said so, he could only scratch his head and pull Song Yanshen back to the room.
Zhong Xiaoxiao also withdrew her head.
After resolving the matter, Zhang Chunxue tidied up the yard again before returning to her room.
With one matter resolved, a weight was lifted from her heart.
She was already very sleepy, so after lying in bed for a while, Zhang Chunxue drifted off to sleep.
By the time Song Xingzhi returned, Zhang Chunxue was already fast asleep.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly in bed, Song Xingzhi quietly washed his hands, then got into bed, hugged Zhang Chunxue, and closed his eyes.
Zhang Chunxue didn't wake up at all; she just snuggled closer to Song Xingzhi and nestled into his arms.
Song Xingzhi chuckled to himself, feeling a sweet warmth in his heart.
Because they stayed up too late last night, Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi both overslept the next day.
Zhou Mingli and Zhong Xiaoxiao got up and made breakfast. Zhou Mingli had to go to work at the hospital, so she left first.
The remaining three younger ones, along with an even younger one, kept chattering about what happened last night.
Song Xingzhi still needs to wake up first.
Upon opening his eyes and seeing the peaceful sleeping face of the person in his arms, Song Xingzhi felt a surge of sweetness in his heart.
He lowered his head and gently kissed Zhang Chunxue's face.
Zhang Chunxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" Song Xingzhi said softly. "It's okay, you can sleep a little longer."
Zhang Chunxue rubbed her eyes: "She's already awake... What time is it?"
Song Xingzhi glanced at the time: "It's almost nine o'clock?"
Zhang Chunxue stretched and yawned: "It's so late..."
Song Xingzhi kissed her lips again: "Sister Chunxue, get up slowly, I'll go prepare your washing up..."
Zhang Chunxue hugged his waist and nuzzled him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Xingzhi..."
Song Xingzhi was secretly delighted.
However, when he came out of the room, he saw the three little ones playing in the yard. As soon as they heard the door open, the three of them turned their heads around.
"Second Uncle!" Song Yanzhe cheered immediately.
However, remembering that Zhang Chunxue might not be awake yet, he quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Is Second Aunt awake?"
Song Xingzhi smiled and said, "Your second aunt has already woken up and will probably be out soon..."
He said he was heading to the kitchen to fetch water for Zhang Chunxue to wash her face.
Song Yanzhe immediately followed, chattering incessantly, "Second Uncle, tell us what happened last night!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Dad, can you tell us what happened? We were woken up in the middle of the night and didn't dare come out. We just heard a commotion outside and had no idea what was going on..."
Song Yanshen also held his sister's hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Song Xingzhi was speechless: "Isn't it just that Zhang Dashun came to poison us and then got caught by us? What's there to not know?"
Song Yanzhe's lips twitched: "Second Uncle, if you could just show us a little of the patience you have for Second Aunt?"
Song Xingzhi glanced at him and said, "You're dreaming!"
Song Yanzhe rolled his eyes: "If you don't tell us now, we'll ask Second Aunt when she wakes up!"
Song Xingzhi said lazily, "Then you can wait for my sister Chunxue to get up!"
Song Yanzhe, listening from the side, was practically dying of jealousy: "Oh my god, you call her Sister Chunxue! She's still my second aunt!"
Song Xingzhi immediately scoffed, "If she didn't marry me, would she have become your second aunt?"
He raised his hand and tapped Song Yanzhe on the head: "You really can't tell the difference between primary and secondary matters!"
However, after seeing the breakfast left for them on the table, he was satisfied and nodded: "Not bad, you even know to leave breakfast for us..."
But then, as if remembering something, he clicked his tongue and said, "Was it your sister Mingli who made this?"
