Liang's mother was not convinced and said, "I didn't say all that. She was just not decent. She got pregnant at such a young age and even had an abortion..."

The policeman knocked on the table gently and sternly scolded: "You still dare to talk!"

"Do you know that this is someone's privacy? If you spread their privacy everywhere, it's illegal!"

Liang's mother was incredulous, "Is telling the truth against the law?"

"Do you know that there was a torture called 'tongue cutting' in ancient times? It was specifically used against gossipers like you who love to gossip and gossip behind people's backs."

"We are now living in a society ruled by law. Although there is no such thing as torture as cutting off the tongue, those who spread rumors still need to bear legal responsibility!"

After listening to the police’s explanation, Liang’s mother finally realized that she had caused trouble.

"Well, now that I've said everything, what should I do now?"

"What to do? Follow the law!"

"I, I didn't even know this was against the law. Public Security Comrade, can you let me go this time? I promise I won't talk nonsense again."

"It's no use telling me. They've already filed a case and they're going to sue you no matter what. You should find a better lawyer to defend yourself."

After saying that, the police officer talked about the incident in which the mother and daughter broke into the restaurant and caused trouble.

"You have seriously affected the business of the restaurant and broke their things. You need to compensate them according to the price. If you don't pay, the restaurant will sue you."

The restaurant is going to sue them too? The Liang family mother and daughter were stunned.

"Then, how much will it cost?"

"It wasn't just us who broke the things, they are also responsible." Liang Xiling was indignant.

The police officer took out the claim list prepared by the restaurant and said, "You broke three plates, five wine glasses, and a vase, totaling eight hundred and eighty. You should pay half, which makes four hundred and fourty."

"So expensive!? It's just a few cups and plates, they are trying to rip us off?" Liang's mother almost jumped up.

The police officer said, "Their dinner plates are made of precious white porcelain custom-made from Jingdezhen, and they cost fifty each. The wine glasses and vases are imported crystal, so the total is eight hundred and eighty. They have the purchase invoices, so they didn't charge you a cent more. Here, take a look."

The police placed the invoice and list in front of the mother and daughter.

Although Liang's mother was illiterate, she could recognize Arabic numerals.

When she saw the number 880, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

"Comrade police, can you please ask the restaurant for mercy? We really can't afford so much money."

Liang Xiling's plea gave Liang's mother hope.

"We didn't mean to break anything, nor do we not want to pay for it. We are a poor family and can't even afford food. We really can't afford it."

The policeman has been handling cases for so many years and has seen all kinds of ruffians. He could see through the Liang mother and daughter who were trying to shirk their responsibilities by playing the victim.

"Whether you borrowed it or not, you must pay back the money. If that doesn't work, everyone in your family has a legitimate job, so just deduct the money from their salary every month until it's all gone."

Liang's mother never expected such an operation to happen and was completely dumbfounded.

There was no other choice but to call my family and ask them to send money over.

Compared with the compensation, the lawsuit against Liang's mother is the bigger trouble.

The mother and daughter discussed it and decided to go to Shen Hongmei to plead for mercy.

After Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa finished their statements, they went to a small restaurant opposite the police station to have dinner.

When Liang Xiling found the two people, the dishes had just been served.

There were several dishes on the small round table.

There are braised pork slices, braised fat fish head, smoked chicken, shredded sweet potato, and wild vegetable omelette.

The combination of meat and vegetables, with good color, aroma and taste, made Liang Xiling drool with greed.

Liang Xiling was already starving, and looking at the table full of food, her stomach felt as if it was making a ache.

"Can you finish this much order?"

“I’m sure I can’t finish it.”

Liang Xiling was about to say that she could help them eat, but then she heard Shen Hongmei say, "I can feed the rest to the dog."

So angry.

They fed it to the dogs and didn't give her any.

Even though Liang Xiling was thick-skinned, she couldn't bring herself to ask for a free meal. She could only state her purpose, "Shen Hongmei, you and my brother know each other. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Please drop the case."

"Are you dreaming? You Liang family members have repeatedly caused trouble, spread my privacy, and slandered my reputation. Do you think you can just let it go with a simple apology?"

"How about this, if you let me stab you, I'll apologize to you, do you agree?"

"You!" Liang Xiling was annoyed by her attitude, "Don't go too far, my mother is over 60 years old, what's wrong with you, a younger generation, giving way to her?"

"Why should I let her? Is it because she is so shameless or because she is so thick-skinned?"

Liang Xiling wanted to say more, but Shen Hongmei was too impatient to listen.

"Get lost now. If you have time to waste on me, you might as well go find a lawyer for your mother. I'll demand justice!"

At the police station, seeing Liang Xiling coming back, Liang's mother hurried forward and asked, "What did she say?"

Liang Xiling shook her head angrily, "She disagreed and scolded me!"

Liang's mother was very disappointed.

She was really regretting it at this moment. Why did she go and provoke Shen Hongmei for no reason?

Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also lost both his wife and his army.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Give me one dollar and I'll go outside and buy two cakes."

At this moment, Liang Xiling's mind was full of the delicious dishes ordered by Shen Hongmei, and she was almost going crazy with greed.

Liang's mother was angry, and when she heard her daughter asking for money, she raised her hand and slapped her.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating! It's all because of you, a useless thing. I spent all my money to send you to school for so many years, but it's useless! You can't even find a job. If it weren't for helping you find a job, I wouldn't even go out today!"

The more Liang's mother spoke, the more she felt that today's incident was caused by her daughter, and she raised her hand and continued to hit Liang Xiling.

Liang Xiling held her head and hid while screaming.

While the mother and daughter were making a scene, Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa on the other side were enjoying a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

"Come, eat the fish lips. They are said to contain collagen. It is good for you women to eat it. It can beautify your skin."

Listening to Zhao Dafa's introduction, Shen Hongmei couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Zhao, you also know this?"

"I heard from the waiter at the restaurant that things like snow frog, fish maw, and bird's nest are all good for beauty and skin care. We used to have a lot of them at home, but Xiaoyun and I didn't like to eat them, so we gave them all away. I'll go back tonight to see if there are any left. You can take them back and stew them for yourself."

"No, I wouldn't know what to do with it even if you gave it to me. Don't waste a good thing."

"That's easy. Come to my house and eat. I'll ask Aunt Deng to cook for you."

Shen Hongmei was stunned.

Zhao Dafa was amused by her stunned look, "What's wrong? An ugly daughter-in-law doesn't dare to meet her parents-in-law?"

Shen Hongmei's cheeks flushed. Just as she was about to speak, someone suddenly called her at the restaurant entrance - (End of this chapter)
