He Tao walked over to Zhou Shuhuan, put his arm around his shoulders, and explained with a smile to Shen Baolan and the crowd watching the excitement in the corridor -

"My TV has been flickering these past two days, so I asked Shuhuan to come and help me check it when he's free. I didn't expect such a joke to happen. I'm sorry, wife Pei Yang. It's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly earlier. You've suffered."

So that's how it is.

For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Baolan with eyes full of ridicule and condemnation.

After all this time, you come here to make a scene without even figuring out what's going on. It's really hilarious.

"Shen Baolan, apologize!"

Facing Shen Mingzhu's reasonable request, Shen Baolan acted like a rogue, "Who told you not to make things clear earlier? Can you blame me?"

After saying that, he wanted to run away.

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Shen Baolan, if you don't apologize today, I will sue you tomorrow. I mean what I say!"

Shen Baolan turned her head and curled her lips with disdain, "Shen Mingzhu, do you think I was scared? I won't apologize, let's see what you can do to me!"

After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and ran downstairs.

"Okay, let's all go, it's just a misunderstanding."

Under He Tao's command, the crowd of spectators gradually dispersed, each returning home to find their own mothers.

"Taozi, thank you."

Zhou Shuhuan said in a low voice, and both of them knew the meaning.

He Tao smiled knowingly, turned around to say hello to Shen Mingzhu, then went upstairs and went home.

"Pei Yang's wife, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Zhou Shuhuan was about to go downstairs when Shen Mingzhu stopped him. "Brother Zhou, tell Shen Baolan to come up and apologize within half an hour, or I will call the police."

Zhou Shuhuan was stunned for a moment, nodded, turned around and went downstairs without saying anything.

The He family upstairs.

Feng Huiying scolded her husband with some dissatisfaction, "You shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter, otherwise you would have gotten yourself into trouble. Zhou Shuhuan is really something, knowing that his wife is a chatterbox, but he still doesn't know how to avoid suspicion."

He Tao looked at his wife teasingly, "You don't know what kind of person Shuhuan is. Even if he has the intention to do something evil, he doesn't have the guts to do it."

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. How can they tell you what they did in private?"

He Tao laughed, "I really know what they did..."

When Zhou Shuhuan came up to look for Shen Mingzhu, He Tao was smoking at the entrance of the corridor. "...Shuheng didn't even enter the door. He just stood at the door and asked about the food factory before leaving."

After learning the truth, Feng Huiying's resentment towards Shen Mingzhu suddenly turned into sympathy, and she complained about Shen Baolan, "... Zhou Shuhuan is so unlucky. The previous daughter-in-law ran away with the children, and now this daughter-in-law is always causing trouble..."

He Tao thought to himself: Who says it’s not true?

…

"Why did you come down just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Downstairs, Shen Baolan did not leave, but stood guard at the door of the apartment building.

As soon as Zhou Shuhuan came out, she came up to him eagerly, with no trace of guilt or self-blame on her face for misunderstanding her husband.

Zhou Shuhuan suddenly felt powerless and confused. Was there any need for him to continue maintaining such a marriage?

Zhou Shuhuan told Shen Mingzhu's words to Shen Baolan, but Shen Baolan didn't take it to heart at all.

"If she has the guts, go ahead and sue me. I want to see if she can sue me!"

Seeing that she was as reckless as a dead pig, Zhou Shuhuan didn't bother to say anything more. He went straight back to his room when he got home.

Ma Sufen, who was sitting at the coffee table watching her grandson draw, was puzzled by her son's departure and return, but she didn't think too much about it.

Shen Baolan put on an apron and washed dishes and pots as usual, without being affected at all.

"Shuhuan, where are you going with your bag so late at night?"

"I'm going to stay in the dormitory for a few days."

"Why do you want to live in the dormitory for no reason?"

"Ask Baolan, I'm too embarrassed to live at home."

Shen Baolan, who was cleaning the kitchen, hurried out. Seeing Zhou Shuhuan carrying his luggage and getting ready to go out, she couldn't help but shout out.

What responded to her was the sound of Zhou Shuhuan closing the door without hesitation.

Ma Sufen looked at the closed door, then at the dazed Shen Baolan, still not understanding what was going on.

But she soon understood, because one of her old sisters came to her house and told her in vivid detail the embarrassing incident that Shen Baolan had caused in Building No. 5.

Ma Sufen was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

In her entire life, she had never seen a daughter-in-law more stupid than Shen Baolan. Other families would cover up any ugly things they did for fear of being laughed at, but her family was different. They were afraid that the joke wasn't big enough.

It's so embarrassing!

Just as Ma Sufen was about to deal with Shen Baolan, the police from the police station came to her door and asked for Shen Baolan by name.

Seeing the police, Shen Baolan also panicked.

"What do you want from me?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The police officer smiled and said, "Don't you know what you have done? Come on, come with us."

"I'm not going!"

Shen Baolan was so scared that she hid behind Ma Sufen.

At this time, Ma Sufen was still confused and panicked, worried that her son had caused trouble again.

"Comrade Public Security, what happened? Please explain it to me."

The police did not make things difficult for an old lady like her and explained their purpose in a concise manner.

"…your daughter-in-law, Shen Baolan, slandered and defamed others. The victim came to the police station to report the case and submitted evidence. We are here to take Shen Baolan back to the station for investigation."

Upon learning that Shen Mingzhu had really sued her, Shen Baolan was angry and anxious, and turned around to find Shen Mingzhu to seek an explanation.

However, the police mistakenly thought that she wanted to resist arrest and escape, so they directly rewarded her with a pair of silver bracelets.

…

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

That night, the entire family compound knew that Shen Baolan had been taken away by the police station for throwing dirty water.

Although this matter is not that serious, at most you will be criticized and educated by the police station, but for people of this era, going to the police station is a stain on life and will be ridiculed and despised.

That night, many people in the family compound did not sleep.

Especially those who fabricated Shen Mingzhu's scandals were afraid that they would be the next to be found by the police station.

From now on, people in the family compound would have to think twice before trying to fabricate rumors about Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu, on the contrary, slept very soundly and sweetly that night.

These days, she has been busy with the food factory's affairs. She is not unaware of Shen Baolan's constant attempts to make up stories about her, but she just doesn't have the time or energy to care.

But she kept a record of it and waited for the right moment to launch a fatal counterattack.

From the moment Shen Baolan came to her house and made a scene, she was prepared and turned on the recording function of the tape recorder in the living room.

Every slander and defamation Shen Baolan said against her was recorded clearly! ...

"Comrade Public Security, I know I was wrong. I am willing to apologize to Shen Mingzhu. Please let me go."

After being detained in the police station for a night, Shen Baolan regretted it so much that she kept begging the guards.

The guard was used to seeing people like her and sneered, "You regret it now? It's too late! Just stay here and reflect on your mistakes."

Shen Baolan wanted to cry but had no tears. "Then when can I go home?"

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, you can be released in three to five days. If you perform poorly, you may be released in ten days or half a month."

Shen Baolan's eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.

…

In the morning, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng were having breakfast when Zhou Shuhuan's father came to their door carrying some things.
