Chapter 16 The stick that holds back "Why report...
“Why call the police?”
Gu Ruyi: "Is this family blackmailing people?"
Qin Huairou's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, police comrades, we didn't blackmail anyone, it was all a misunderstanding."
Qin Huairou wanted to gloss over the matter, but her eldest son knew nothing and directly sabotaged her.
"Are you still my mother? I fell down at her house and you said it was a misunderstanding. I fell down for nothing? Besides, grandma said she would pay a hundred dollars..."
"Kongzi, shut up," Qin Huairou didn't expect that Korean didn't understand the situation at all and actually told her mother-in-law's plan. Isn't this telling the police clearly that they are trying to blackmail her? Why is he so stupid? Can't do good things and always holds things back.
Tan Huairou was very thoughtful, but Bangzi didn't understand at all. He got angry because Tan Huairou yelled at him for the first time. He rolled over and got up angrily and said, "I hate you. I don't want you to be my mother anymore."
After uttering the harsh words, the Korean disappeared in a flash.
This development was beyond everyone's expectations. Aunt Zhang even forgot that the police were there and shouted, "Is this called a fall? He was jumping around and running faster than most children. Where did he fall?"
Qin Huairou's face turned blue and red, and the police comrades were speechless. They thought that the child was somewhat injured and that's why the family asked for such a high price. It turned out that they underestimated the viciousness of human nature. The child was not injured at all, but the family asked for a hundred yuan. What else could this be but extortion?
Although they knew everything clearly, the public security comrades still asked Gu Ruyi again about what happened.
During this period, Qin Huairou and Jia Chen kept explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, and that Jia Chen was just speaking in anger and did not really want Gu Ruyi to pay compensation.
However, do you believe it?
I’m afraid even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe Jia Chen’s explanation.
However, after all, Jia Chenshi only said a few words verbally and did not cause any substantial harm, so it was impossible for the police to convict her.
Generally speaking, in cases like Jia Chenshi's, at most she would be given a few words of advice.
But looking at the beautiful, pitiful and helpless Gu Ruyi, the public security comrades felt a little soft-hearted. They were worried that Jia Chen would continue to bully Gu Ruyi after they left, so they planned to scare Jia Chen a little more.
"Ahem," the public security comrade coughed lightly and said to Jia Chen majestically, "Auntie, whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, this incident is very serious. Please come with us!" At least you have to write a letter of apology.
The public security comrades spoke vaguely, and Jia Chen thought they were going to put her in jail, and she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.
"Wuwuwu... I won't go, I won't go. Public Security Comrade, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please let me off this time!"
Jia Chen cried like a dog, but it was of no use.
The public security comrades knew her character very well, and they were not soft-hearted at all. They were heartless and said, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? Go now! If you don't cooperate, you will be punished even more severely."
After these words were spoken, Jia Chen dared not say a word anymore and could only follow the public security comrades crying.
Gu Ruyi also went with him. After all, she was the one who held the police, so she had to record a statement.
Only after they walked away did Qin Huairou burst into tears.
"Wow, my mother-in-law is already very old. How can she survive in prison? Uncle Yi, please help my mother-in-law."
In fact, Qin Huairou hoped that Jia Chen would die in prison, so that no one would be on guard against her like a thief every day.
But on second thought, if Jia Chen really went to jail, it would have a huge impact on the Koreans. With a grandmother in jail, it would be difficult for the Koreans to find wives in the future, and it would also be difficult for the two daughters to marry off.
So, for the sake of the child, her mother-in-law had to save her.
Uncle Yi's throat was a little dry, and he smiled bitterly, "How can I have that ability?"
Qin Huairou felt bitter inside, and she also knew that her request was a bit excessive.
If it was the steel mill that arrested her mother-in-law, then Uncle Yi, as a seventh-level worker in the steel mill, would have some influence and saving her mother-in-law would not be a problem.
But if it were the police, I'm afraid it would only be effective if the deputy director or the director of the factory took action.
However, since she has no relatives or friends, why should the deputy director and the factory director help her?
etc! She can't do it, but there is someone who can!
Qin Huairou looked at Tiezhu with tears in her eyes, "Tiezhu, can you help me go and ask Old Lady Long to rescue my mother-in-law?"
The crying Qin Huairou was like a canna hit by wind and rain, with a hint of pity in her charm, which made people want to protect her.
Tiezhu was so shocked that he almost agreed in a rush.
However, just as Tiezhu was about to open his mouth, Gu Ruyi's stunningly beautiful face suddenly flashed through his mind.
Tiezhu woke up immediately.
Boy, he almost made a mistake.
Jia Chen was put in jail because she offended Gu Ruyi. If he helped to get Jia Chen out, wouldn't that be equivalent to going against Gu Ruyi?
If I make Gu Ruyi dislike me, it would be even more difficult for me to marry her.
Gu Ruyi: Wake up! It's impossible.
Tiezhu: In order to marry the beauty, Jia Chenshi must not be saved.
Although he knew it clearly in his heart, Tiezhu was not stupid. He did not reject Tan Huairou in person, but said tactfully: "Sister Qin, this is difficult to do. Grandma probably won't agree."
As long as you take action, how could Mrs. Long not agree, unless you are not doing your best?
Qin Huairou knew it clearly in her mind, but she also understood that Tiezhu after meeting Gu Ruyi was no longer the Tiezhu who obeyed her orders, and she could not force Tiezhu now.
"Okay, Tiezhu, I'll trouble you."
Tiezhu felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at Tan Huairou. He turned his head away and said, "Then let's go back first!"
Tan Huairou responded gently like a little wife, "Yes, I'll listen to you."
Although she appeared docile on the surface, Qin Huairou's resentment towards Gu Ruyi had reached its peak.
————
Half an hour later, Gu Ruyi came back.
It's just a note, it won't take much time at all.
After returning home in a hurry, Gu Ruyi immediately steamed the pagoda meat.
Because there was only one stove, Gu Ruyi waited for two hours until the pagoda meat was thoroughly cooked. Then he took out a pound of rice and a pound of cornmeal from the system and steamed two bowls of rice mixed with cornmeal.
In fact, Gu Ruyi wanted to steam rice more, but she was planning to treat guests, and eating only white rice was a bit too eye-catching, so Gu Ruyi mixed half of it with corn.
As for who to invite, hey! Need I say more? Of course it’s Aunt Zhang.
People stood up for Gu Ruyi today and left everyone in the West Courtyard speechless, which offended that group of people. If Gu Ruyi doesn't thank Aunt Zhang properly, then he'd be no different from an ungrateful person.
Gu Ruyi felt that the meat alone was not enough. After looking through the system warehouse, Gu Ruyi decided to fry a salted fish and cook some seaweed egg drop soup.
Salted fish and seaweed are not too rare in this era, but they are also hard to buy. Using them to entertain guests is definitely very face-saving.
Everything was ready and it was almost time for dinner, so Gu Ruyi went straight to invite Aunt Zhang.
When Gu Ruyi arrived at Zhang's house, Aunt Zhang was sewing shoe soles. She was the first to greet her, "Aunt Zhang, your shoe soles are sewn very neatly. They must be very comfortable to wear."
Sewing shoe soles is the skill that Aunt Zhang is most proud of, and Gu Ruyi's praise really touched her heart.
Although she was so happy in her heart, Aunt Zhang said modestly, "No, no, it's just practice makes perfect."
"Anyway, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to match your skills even after waiting for decades."
Aunt Zhang's eyes narrowed with joy. "Child, you are not only good-looking but also very talkative. Your parents will be blessed to have a daughter like you in the future!"
hehe! Unfortunately, they cannot enjoy their own blessings.
Not wanting to bring up something unlucky, Gu Ruyi took the initiative to explain her purpose, "Aunt Zhang, today is really thanks to you, thank you."
Aunt Zhang is really enthusiastic. When Uncle Yi and the others came, Aunt Zhang happened to come back. When she heard the noise, she came to check on Gu Ruyi. After learning the reason, she resolutely stood up for Gu Ruyi.
If it were Gu's father and mother, they might even hide away and not care about Gu Ruyi at all. It can be said that Aunt Zhang is even more reliable than Gu Ruyi's relatives.
Aunt Zhang smiled brightly, "Hey! It's nothing. You are from our courtyard, and my old Zhang is the manager of the courtyard. If I see you being bullied, people will look down on you when you go out in the future."
"Aunt Zhang, please don't be polite. I know you mean well. Anyway, thank you so much today. I specially made a very difficult dish today, called pagoda meat, which is comparable to the braised pork last time. Come to my house with Uncle Zhang later to try it!"
When mentioning the braised pork from last time, Aunt Zhang swallowed subconsciously.
Although she only ate some potatoes last time, she would never forget the fragrance and wanted to eat it even in her dreams.
Now is the chance...
But, I'm a little embarrassed...
Just as Aunt Zhang was hesitating, Uncle Zhang suddenly ran out. He was in such a hurry that he didn't care that one of his feet was not wearing a shoe.
As soon as he saw Gu Ruyi, Uncle Zhang smiled brighter than the sun, "Haha! Xiao Gu, you're welcome. We will be there later."
Aunt Zhang immediately gave Uncle Zhang a glare, and Uncle Zhang touched his beard awkwardly.
Gu Ruyi pretended that she didn't see the quarrel between the two and said cheerfully, "Then it's settled. Everything has been prepared. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, just come over after you have packed up!"
After saying this, Gu Ruyi left first. As for Aunt Zhang's descendants, Gu Ruyi had already learned about them. Her son lived far away, and her grandchildren were usually sent over on weekends. Today was Tuesday, and the children were not here.
Knowing that there were only two people in the Zhang family, Gu Ruyi only prepared such a small amount of food.
After Gu Ruyi returned home, Aunt Zhang immediately criticized Uncle Zhang.
"Mr. Zhang, have you never eaten in your lifetime? When someone just calls you, you just want to go to their house with a bowl in your hand. Aren't you ashamed?"
Uncle Zhang stroked his beard awkwardly, "Haha, it's hard to refuse Xiao Gu's kindness. I just don't want to embarrass Xiao Gu."
Aunt Zhang: "Bah! Shame on you! You are clearly greedy."
Uncle Zhang looked up at the sky without saying a word. He was indeed greedy, but could he be blamed? With the cooking skills of his old woman, even dogs wouldn't want to eat the food she makes. It's a waste of food.
The key point is that his old wife doesn’t even realize she’s a good cook. She always thinks she’s a good cook and rushes to cook every day.
He was old, and the only reason he was not tortured to death was because he was lucky, but he suffered a lot from his mouth.
It’s so bitter!
The potatoes that Xiao Gu sent him last time were so delicious that he even dreamed about them last night and drooled all over the floor. Today, he finally got to eat something similar. He would eat it even if he was scolded or beaten.
Aunt Zhang cursed a few more times, but seeing that Uncle Zhang was cursing at her like a piece of meat on a rolling pin, she had no choice but to compromise.
