Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

......................

When the police saw that Jia Zhangshi was stammering and unable to give a coherent explanation, they stopped pressing the matter.

They directly asked the staff of the street office to help hold her down.

"Mom, you should say something, or we'll get arrested again."

Qin Huairu urged anxiously, her face full of worry.

"Sister-in-law, say something!"

"If you clear up the misunderstanding, maybe the police will let you go."

Yi Zhonghai was also urging them on from the side.

The others around remained silent, after all, this had nothing to do with them.

Moreover, they didn't have a good impression of Jia Zhangshi, so they weren't worth helping.

Liu Hai was secretly plotting something; the yard had been in complete chaos lately.

If this situation continues for a few more days, Yi Zhonghai's position as the leader of the compound will certainly be in jeopardy.

Wouldn't that give me a chance to rise to power?

Just then, in order to avoid going back in and suffering again...

Left with no other choice, Jia Zhangshi had to reveal her true intentions.

......................

After hearing this, everyone sighed in amazement at how deep Jia Zhangshi's scheming was!

Indeed, if they weren't scratching the wrong target.

Zhao De will likely face the same fate upon returning home this time.

“Zhang Cuihua, your behavior constitutes retaliation and is subject to criticism…”

The police sternly reprimanded Jia Zhangshi and began to educate her.

In fact, they did not want to arrest Jia Zhangshi again.

Because she was being far too disruptive inside.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the police say that, he immediately felt relieved.

It seems that paying some money can resolve this matter.

"What? We have to pay compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi became displeased and immediately began to throw a tantrum and act unreasonably:

"Damn it, where am I going to get any money? This is going to kill me..."

Jia Zhangshi believed that she had no money left.

Or we could just let her stay inside.

......................

Besides, she hasn't even sought compensation from Zhao De yet, so how can she give the money to someone else first!

These words immediately angered the police!

Okay, I won't lose a single penny.

Do you expect us to swallow this bitter pill ourselves?

"Master Yi, please help us. We really can't afford to eat."

"We spent all the money we had for Bang Geng's medical treatment that day, as you know."

Qin Huairu first sought help from the policeman who had been scratched, putting on a pitiful appearance.

But seeing that the other party didn't give her a friendly look and didn't agree, she was disappointed.

They had no choice but to turn to Yi Zhonghai for help.

Having no other choice, Yi Zhonghai had to take out his wallet and give them three yuan.

Of course, it's not a free gift; it's a loan.

Furthermore, Qin Huairu had to write an IOU afterward.

After receiving the money, the police officer who had been scratched looked slightly better. He said:

"Your hamster stole money, and it wasn't a small amount..."

Then, the police officer recounted in detail how Bang Geng had stolen money the day before.

Afterwards, the comrades from the subdistrict office informed Yi Zhonghai that Xu Damao would be publicly criticized and paraded through the streets the next day.

The three responsible persons will need to be present at that time.

This is explosive news; everyone was about to go home.

Upon hearing this, they immediately became interested and began whispering among themselves.

It seems that this explains why Lou Xiao'e insisted on divorcing Xu Damao yesterday.

It's because he messed around with women.

.......................

Chapter Thirty-One: Jia Zhangshi Endures the Freezing While Waiting!

After the police officers and the people from the street office left.

Everyone dispersed, except for the scene involving Jia Zhangshi that left people both amused and exasperated.

Xu Damao's affair is the real drama tomorrow; there's bound to be a good show to watch.

The old man had a stern expression.

Thinking about the huge embarrassment that would happen in the courtyard tomorrow, he, as an old man, would probably be embarrassed.

The second and third uncles were alright, since there were tall people to hold up the sky if it fell.

This isn't over yet.

"Mom, let's go back and eat first. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Let's go back and eat first. We can talk about it when Zhao De gets back."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was still waiting for Bang Geng to appear, Qin Huairu couldn't help but advise her.

"Alright then, let's go back and have dinner first, then come back."

This time, Jia Zhangshi did not persist.

...................

Indeed, she was getting hungrier and hungrier.

In addition, she's still in pain from that kick, so she needs to go back and rest.

Luckily I was wearing a cotton-padded coat, otherwise I would definitely have caught a cold and gotten sick.

Back home, Qin Huairu set the meal on the table.

When Jia Zhangshi looked at the food, she sighed and saw that all she had were cornbread buns and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

This is even worse than the food inside.

"Is this all we're going to eat?"

Madam Jia looked at Qin Huairu with displeasure.

"Mom, we have no money and no food left at home."

"If we don't find a way, we can only hold out until the day after tomorrow at the latest, then we'll have nothing to eat."

Qin Huairu was also helpless; what could she do as a pregnant woman?

Sha Zhu can no longer bring his lunchbox inside.

Even if I wanted to borrow money, I just got a good scolding from you and my son.

Why would they possibly lend it to us?

......................

"What's wrong with you as a mother? My grandson is growing up."

"How can you eat this stuff? Go figure out a solution yourself!"

Jia Zhangshi lost her appetite when she saw the cornbread and cabbage.

She was the same way; she used to be so used to eating the food that Sha Zhu brought that she became picky about food.

When this topic came up, Jia Zhangshi started rambling again.

"It's all because of that little beast Zhao De."

"Not only did they make us suffer for nothing, but they also reported Sha Zhu for bringing a lunchbox, causing our family to lose their support."
