Chapter 1534: Chapter 1409: Blackhearted
It’s strange, Old Lady Zhou was just making a scene with a loud voice, but now she’s sitting limp in the room, not saying a word, with no expression at all on her face.
The half-pulled shirt was left open, revealing a floral shirt inside, and she didn’t have any intention of continuing.
This left everyone speechless: What the heck! Is she saving her energy to stir things up again when the police arrive?
Zhou Maozhu squatted in the corridor expressionless. Self-taught Sister looked at him again and again, and felt sorry for this uncle who was diligently making tea every day, sweating all over:
"Uncle, tell your relatives that even if she ends up in jail, it won’t affect the kids’ future much... Nowadays, they generally only look at parents."
Zhou Maozhu wiped his face: "Girl, I don’t understand this whole civil servant exam thing, but I’ve heard that the competition is really fierce. Even if you pass, they still have to post the list for everyone to see, then there’s the physical exam—you say if soone else has the sa scores but cos from a clean and proper family, we’d get knocked out by that little bit of reputation difference. Does that happen?"
Self-taught Sister didn’t know how to respond.
If soone reports or complains during the public notice period, it’s hard to say how the result will turn out, and there are unspeakable unspoken rules involved...
She had nothing to say.
In fact, Zhou Maozhu was quite calm—after all, kids of their generation at most beco township civil servants, whether they make it or not, it’s not his kid. After all, because of Old Lady Zhou’s issue, the brothers had already beco quite distant from each other.
The only worry is that in the village, family reputation is especially important.
Having a grandmother who was jailed for poisoning, Zhou Tianyu, who is already old and hasn’t found a partner, how will he have any good families willing to introduce soone to him later?
He remained silent, squatting in the corridor, clearly only able to accept the situation.
...
The town police arrived unexpectedly fast, and within 10 minutes, a police car quickly stopped at the factory entrance. Wu Lan and Song Sancheng and others were still urgently rushing behind them. Before they even had a chance to vent their anger, they saw the police, with Chen Yuan’s assistance, opening the door.
Seeing Old Lady Zhou’s state, without saying a word, they took out the handcuffs—those previous trivial disputes were not sothing they could handcuff for. Now that it’s a major case, shouldn’t they hurry and cuff her?
If they didn’t cuff her, she would imdiately take off her clothes and pull down her pants, and roll on the ground again, leaving them no way to handle her.
Coincidentally, as soon as the handcuffs clicked, it was like pressing an activation button. Song Tan didn’t even have the chance to kindly help her button up her clothes before Old Lady Zhou began to struggle violently, mouth bursting with vicious words she’d been holding back:
"You abominable, thunder-struck Lao Song’s family! You bully lonely old people, you’re despicable...#啊%&*#%..."
The rural slang she used was so filthy that Wu Lan instantly rushed up in anger, grabbed Old Lady Zhou’s collar, and gave her two resounding slaps! The hunched old lady staggered and fell directly to the ground.
Oh my!
Two policen quickly intervened: "You can’t hit her, if she gets hurt..."
But in the conversation, Old Lady Zhou, whose hands were restrained, couldn’t fight back, and thus received three more slaps! Her face burning as if on fire, her fury growing more intense!
And at that mont, Chen Yuan said seriously, "There’s another accomplice from out of town locked up next door. The two of them went to the mountain one after the other..."
A row of small rooms at the factory entrance was temporarily vacant and not soundproof. Not to ntion Old Lady Zhou was so loud, the young girl inside was already beside herself with anxiety, eavesdropping at the door with a burning need, and upon hearing the word ’accomplice,’ she erupted in sweat, then scread out:
"I didn’t, I didn’t do it, I’m innocent!!!"
Finally, she sobbed and whimpered softly, "I need to use the bathroom..."
But those words were quickly drowned out by Old Lady Zhou’s curses, and the police couldn’t spare a hand to tend to the so-called accomplice, only lifting Old Lady Zhou up by her armpits.
Old Lady Zhou’s feet kept kicking and struggling mid-air, sohow giving them a good workout.
Wu Lan seized the opportunity, rushing forward again to pinch her hard on the inner thigh—
"Ow!"
Old Lady Zhou’s furious cursing abruptly stopped, and then she was shoved into the police car at the entrance. Only now did the police turn back and ask, "Where’s the poison then?"
"You guys over there co along, let’s get to the bottom of this at the station."
"No need to go to the station!"
Wu Lan panted heavily, as Song Tan, gathering so Spiritual Energy in his palm, patted her back. She too harshly said, "Our family never claid to be saints, but Tantan worked hard to earn money, providing for the whole family, never owing the village a penny. We took care of everything we should, and in winter, we sent rice, flour, oil, and down jackets! What right does she have to slander us like this?!"
"Co on! Let’s argue it out!"
"Let’s make it clear right here! Who did we bully? Which lonely old person was bullied?!"
Master Jiang chid in, "Exactly! Every day it’s big fish and at for als, and I don’t dare be careless with the food—how did we bully lonely old folks?"
If we don’t clear this up today, what about our reputation in the future?"
As the conversation unfolded, more and more people gathered at the entrance. Even those who were helping in the fields ca over—
Poisoning?!
What a deep hatred!
Plus with a character like Old Lady Zhou, many of the village won also chid in, "Old Lady Zhou, don’t spout nonsense just ’cause you’re old. If you have the guts, explain it clearly!"
This year, thanks to Lao Song’s family, they’d earned quite a bit, and because of the communal sentint of not wanting to aggravate things unnecessarily, none dared to speak carelessly. Otherwise, when hiring workers later, if everyone else in the neighborhood has work but not them, they’d have to get up in the middle of the night just to sigh!
Old Lady Zhou had taken quite a beating, and at this mont, both her cheeks were hot and swollen! The stinging pain in her thigh was unending, even through thick pants; who knows what pinching strength Wu Lan used!
And that Song Tan, strange and quirky like a monster, who knows where he pressed on her, leaving her unable to speak or move, otherwise she would’ve torn the house down already!
And now, Old Lady Zhou venomously said, "Pah! You think I don’t know! Old Man Li’s house and Tea Mountain were taken by you, and now he lives alone in a shack, even his yellow cattle were taken by you!"
"Song Sancheng, you think the villagers don’t know, everyone sees it! You bully lonely old folks, it’s your luck I didn’t poison you! People with hearts as black as yours shouldn’t even exist in this world!"
