"Comrade Public Security, please sit down. I'll go upstairs and get you some water."
Zhang Binglin politely led the police officers to sit on a stone bench, and then prepared to go into the house to pour water for them.
He had been out for so long, and when he came in he didn't even say a word to her, not even bothering to greet the guests. Wu Ju was so angry that she threw down the chicken feeder in her hand, rushed over, grabbed Zhang Binglin and beat him up.
"You old fool, you can't make it out there anymore, so you came back now. What do you think this place of mine, Wu Ju, is? A teahouse or a vegetable market? You come and go as you please. You must be capable now, and your wings have hardened even at your age. Why don't you go to heaven? You useless thing..."
Zhang Binglin dodged by holding his head, and the two chased and wrestled in the yard.
Little Shuangning was standing there, crying and pleading for Zhang Binglin, "Grandma, please don't hit grandpa, please don't hit him, it's all Ningning's fault, you should punish Ningning! Grandpa hasn't eaten for several days, please don't hit him anymore, wuwu..."
Xiao Shuangning was crying and wiping the tears from her face with her little hands.
One police officer held Xiao Shuangning in his arms to comfort her, while another police officer stepped forward to stop the fight.
"Uncle, aunt, please stop fighting. Let's talk it out. Fighting won't solve the problem."
The public security comrades tried desperately to separate the two and kept persuading Wu Ju and Zhang Binglin.
Wu Ju was not going to listen to any advice at this time. She felt that punching and kicking were not enough to vent her anger, so she picked up the iron sorghum broom in the yard and hit Zhang Binglin's legs and waist hard.
In such a chaotic scene, Wu Ju was still able to realize the severity of the blows and each blow did not hit the vital points.
"Aunt, please talk it over nicely! Why are you using a broom? If you really beat me up, where will you go to regret it?"
The public security comrades continued to persuade her desperately, trying to stop Wu Ju.
Wu Ju was so angry that she smacked the public security officer with a broom, pointed at his nose and roared, "Don't think that just because you're in power, I'm afraid of you. This is my family affair, you have no business interfering. You'd better get out of the way. If I accidentally beat you up, I don't think you'll regret it."
With the Zhang family making such a big commotion and the police arriving, the entrance to the Zhang family compound was soon blocked by villagers.
"you--"
The officer was furious. What had he done to offend anyone? He was so kind to help the people, but he wasn't understood. He was being slapped with a broom for no reason. But he represented the entire police station and the image of millions of public servants across the country. No matter how aggrieved he felt, he couldn't let his temper get the slightest bit angry. He had to persuade the man with kind words.
It is true that poor and barren lands produce unruly people. It seems that if we want to get rich, we must not only build roads first, but also make people more thoughtful and not spend too much time on these fearless family matters.
"Auntie, we are public servants, police officers. What you did is assaulting police officers. It's a serious offense and you will be punished by law."
The police also tried their best to explain to Wu Ju the seriousness of beating him. When Wu Ju heard this, he became even angrier, laughed out loud, and stopped beating him.
"What? It's against the law, are you made of tofu? Just touching you is considered assaulting a police officer. You still want to arrest me? Who are you trying to scare? Don't think we mountain people are easy to bully."
Wu Ju leaned on the broom with one hand and kept pushing and shoving the policeman with the other.
The police officer was pushed back repeatedly, "What do you want to do? Stop it, stop it."
"What's the matter? Are you trying to scare me again? Do you think I'm a woman and easy to bully? I won't stop, what can you do to me?"
Seeing this, another police officer also stepped forward to help, and Zhang Binglin, who had time, also stepped forward to dissuade them.
The policeman was speechless after being questioned by Wu Ju. It was really like a scholar meeting a soldier. He couldn't explain himself even if he was right.
"Auntie, we really don't mean anything else. We just want you to sit down and discuss whatever's going on. Only by discussing and working together can we live a prosperous life! What do you think?"
The police officer who was holding little Shuangning persuaded Wu Ju in a friendly manner.
Wu Ju glanced at him sideways, and saw Xiao Shuangning in his hand. She angrily pointed her finger at Xiao Shuangning's forehead and cursed, "And you, you harmful little girl! After I've dealt with the old man, I'll deal with you tonight."
Seeing Wu Ju's ferocious look, Xiao Shuangning, who had just burst into tears and sobbed, stopped crying. She looked at Wu Ju timidly, not daring to breathe, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
