Chapter 805: Chapter 806: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 54

Qin Huairu is now truly afraid to defend herself, worried that if she says the wrong thing, Lady Jia Zhang might shock her with another bombshell out of nowhere.

This matter must be smoothed over; it can’t continue to ferment outside. "Mom, I-I..."

Qin Huairu stuttered for a long time without being able to finish her sentence, and Lady Jia Zhang was not about to indulge her.

If she can’t be fiercely suppressed this time, she might turn the world upside down in the future.

Lady Jia Zhang directly slapped her. "Speak, you vixen, who’s your lover?"

All the other women in the courtyard watched their own men, wondering if they often got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and took a long time doing so.

"Mom, I really didn’t." Qin Huairu now wished for the police to arrive quickly and lock up that damned old hag.

She had never seen such a foolish old hag, her eyes glaring fiercely at Lady Jia Zhang.

Lady Jia Zhang happened to catch Qin Huairu’s stare, the old lady got very angry, and again delivered several slaps, "Saying you cheated, and you deny it, still looking at me so fiercely."

"You think I’m the kind of person who would be scared half to death by you?"

"I’ve been through things you’ve never experienced." Lady Jia Zhang also had been a widow, struggling to feed herself and her son and to live better, she certainly had her share of hustles.

So after Jia Dongxu was locked up, Lady Jia Zhang began to keep an eye on Qin Huairu, no matter what, she absolutely couldn’t let her leave; otherwise, who would take care of the household affairs?

She wasn’t foolish, she knew how people would look at the Jia Family after she said this, but did a widow care about that?

"Since Sha Zhu is your lover, it’s only natural for me to discipline him," Lady Jia Zhang felt more and more that her line of thought was impeccable.

"If you get up in the middle of the night again for a long time, I absolutely will not give you any face, don’t talk to me about Bang Geng and the others."

"They don’t have a mother like you," Lady Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu her final ultimatum.

"No, please no." Qin Huairu knew that Lady Jia Zhang wasn’t just scaring her; once it was found out that she did something to betray Jia Dongxu, there would be no good end for her.

Just then, someone suddenly blurted out, "I’ve been wondering why Bang Geng and the other two look so much like Jia Dongxu."

"Right, but they don’t look like Qin Huairu..."

Oh my god, even though Zhang Yu had seen the TV show before, she had never suspected the origins of Bang Geng and the others.

But now, after hearing the analysis of the crowd, she felt there might really be a problem.

Zhang Yu now felt such a pity that she wasn’t in the yard, otherwise, she could have seen Qin Huairu’s expression.

Then again, better not, as she was also a thorn in the Jia Family’s side; she wouldn’t want the blame pinned on her too, better to wait quietly.

While everyone was discussing, Liu Haizhong and some policemen arrived, "She’s Lady Jia Zhang, the one who castrated Sha Zhu."

All the way there, the policemen had heard from Liu Haizhong how outrageous Lady Jia Zhang was, turning Sha Zhu into a eunuch, and they thought how could that be possible?

However fierce the old lady is, could she really fight a young man?

Seeing Lady Jia Zhang in person now, they actually felt it could be very possible, given the conditions to be so well-fed; her home’s conditions were not ordinary at all.

A young guy, probably new on the job, blurted out what was on his mind directly.

Someone was about to refute, "If their family’s conditions are bad, we still often organize donations."

What? "Their family is worse off?" The young cop still couldn’t hold back, "And she’s bad off enough to need donations..."

The middle-aged cop glanced at the rookie, taking a newbie out on duty always comes with a pile of issues, "Focus on the official business at hand."

Walking up to a dumbfounded Lady Jia Zhang, "Hello, are you Lady Jia Zhang?"

Never mind how Lady Jia Zhang had just been slandering Qin Huairu in all kinds of unspeakable ways, always psyching herself up, saying she just couldn’t stand it.

But truly faced with the police, she was still a bit panicked, "Yes, I am Lady Jia Zhang, I admit I hit Sha Zhu."

"But it’s because he was messing around with my daughter-in-law. I couldn’t stand it, that’s why I hit him, why else would I strike him there."

"Also, my daughter-in-law would go out at night to pee and would be gone for a long time. But our courtyard door is locked at night, she didn’t leave the courtyard, she was definitely sneaking around."

"If she hadn’t done something to betray my son, how could I have reacted like this." Lady Jia Zhang seized the narrative; she only acted impulsively after seeing the two of them together.

Liu Haizhong and his crew never expected that just by making a police report, Lady Jia Zhang would have her excuses ready, pinning everything on Qin Huairu.

The responding officers did not expect that such a simple assault case would have such complexities.

"It’s not up to you to decide. We will investigate." The middle-aged cop ordered the rookie and another officer to take Lady Jia Zhang back for questioning, while they stayed to investigate the situation properly.

Of course, the rookie cop was reluctant to go back. It’s not easy to come across a case like this, who knows when he might encounter one next, he definitely couldn’t miss out.

The middle-aged cop wouldn’t indulge him, "This is an order." No matter how strong his connections were, he himself was competent enough, he wouldn’t pamper this young master.

The rookie cop had no choice but to return with another colleague, escorting Lady Jia Zhang away.

He had already decided, isn’t interrogating a suspect a chance to earn merit too? Even though it’s not his preferred way, it still counts as a contribution.

As for this fierce old woman, he wasn’t worried. If she dared to act up, he’ll make her second guess her life choices.

Lady Jia Zhang, watching the seemingly cheerful young cop, had a strange and uneasy feeling, similar to how she felt just before she found out about Old Jia’s accident.

Could it be that she was really going to face bad luck this time? This had infuriated her no end, and if she didn’t get away with it, then Sha Zhu wouldn’t have it easy either.

And Qin Huairu, that vixen, she absolutely couldn’t let her off the hook.

Qin Huairu, watching Lady Jia Zhang being taken away, felt quite happy, but knowing that lots of eyes were on her, she definitely couldn’t afford to be unlucky at this time.

The middle-aged cop took out a notebook and began to investigate, questioning everyone in the courtyard one by one without missing anyone.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Li, of course, couldn’t be overlooked, and since they knew about Zhang Yu and Sha Zhu’s hostility, they asked a few more questions.

Zhang Yu pretended to be ignorant, asking why he had a bad relationship with Sha Zhu, "After my parents passed away, the Jia Family, with the support of Yi Zhonghai, tried to take over my family’s house."

"The house isn’t one from the steel mill; it’s my family’s own property."

"That’s why we clashed."

"As for today’s incident, we only rushed over after hearing the commotion, by then Sha Zhu had already been beaten up by Lady Jia Zhang."

"It’s not like I didn’t step in to save Sha Zhu, that won’t be held against me, will it?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

What could the middle-aged cop say? The lines were already drawn. Not to mention stepping in to help, it would already be pretty decent not to kick them while they’re down.
