The deaf old woman glanced at Qin Huairu, and seeing her desperately trying to signal with her eyes, she had a sudden thought and nodded, saying, "That's right, I can vouch for Huairu, Zhuzi really is with her."

These words immediately caused an uproar outside the door.

"He Yuzhu, who usually seems so naive, has managed to do something so outrageous and infuriating in just a few days since his uncle arrived?"

"Even the deaf old lady who dotes on Zhu has testified to it, so it seems to be true!"

Zhou Weiguo continued shouting in the deaf old woman's ear, "Qin Huairu said that Zhu Zi broke into her house late last night and forced her to have sex with him. How do you know that? How are you sure they're together?"

The deaf old woman was a little anxious and looked at Qin Huairu, but Zhou Weiguo directly blocked her view.

She had no choice but to fabricate a story based on Zhou Weiguo's words: "Last night I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk to digest my food. I saw Zhuzi go into Huairu's house. Out of curiosity, I eavesdropped for a while until Huairu came out crying to get some water..."

Zhou Weiguo pressed further, "Around what time?"

The deaf old woman subconsciously looked at Qin Huairu, but was blocked by Zhou Weiguo. She said helplessly, "It's too late, I didn't notice the time."

"Was it before or after 10 o'clock? If there was noise in the yard before 10 o'clock, you couldn't have been the only one who heard or saw it, could you?"

The deaf elderly woman hesitated for a long time before saying, "It should be after 10 o'clock."

"Is it before 10 o'clock or after 10 o'clock?"

"It was after 10 o'clock, but I really didn't pay attention to the exact time."

Zhou Weiguo looked at the deaf old woman, shook his head, and laughed, "Old deaf woman, you really are deaf. I have to shout loudly for you to hear me. You should have your Cuilan take you to see a doctor."

The deaf old woman had actually realized what was happening by now. She tried to appear calm on the surface, staring intently at Zhou Weiguo, but her mind was in turmoil.

Although she had pretended to be deaf before, her hearing had always been quite good. Now it seems most likely that Qin Huairu hadn't washed the water cups and teapot properly yesterday, and the medicine she drank had made her too hot-tempered, causing her ear problems. Sigh, now that she can tie Zhuzi and Huairu together, she doesn't care if she's hard of hearing. At least she'll have Zhuzi and Huairu to take care of her in the future, so it's a blessing in disguise.

In the crowd, Qin Huairu saw that Zhou Weiguo seemed to have more questions to ask, and fearing that the deaf old lady might let something slip, she could no longer hold back.

She suddenly rushed out of the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud, her voice trembling with tears: "Uncle Weiguo! You are Zhuzi's maternal uncle, I beg you to do me justice!"

Zhou Weiguo looked at her with a half-smile, his tone somewhat playful: "Qin Huairu, are you really that eager to marry Zhuzi?"

Qin Huairu stammered in a panic, "For Uncle Guo, I... I... I did it all for..."

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the courtyard: "Make way! Make way! The police and neighborhood committee are here!"

These words struck Qin Huairu like a thunderbolt. Her face turned deathly pale instantly. She looked up at Zhou Weiguo in terror, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The deaf old woman looked at everyone with a worried expression, but she couldn't hear clearly and was also very anxious.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu and shook his head slightly, saying, "Don't look at me like that. It must have been that kid Yan Jiecheng who called the police. Zhuzi just got back and he slipped away. I had a feeling he was probably going to call the police, but I didn't expect him to even bring Director Wang along."

Yan Jiecheng, who was standing at the door, quickly shrank back when he heard Zhou Weiguo's words.

He had intended to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, but upon seeing Zhou Weiguo's appearance, his expression froze.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui quickly walked up to Zhou Weiguo and said in a low voice with a forced smile, "Um, Director Zhou, please don't misunderstand... Jie Cheng was just afraid that Zhu Zi would be wronged. Let me tell the police officer about what happened last night."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and said calmly in a low voice, "No rush, let Comrade Qin Huairu explain things to the police station first."

After finishing his sentence, Zhou Weiguo got up and walked into the courtyard, where he ran into Director Li and Director Wang.

Zhou Weiguo greeted the two men first, but didn't say much. He pointed at Qin Huairu and said, "Director Li, Director Wang, Qin Huairu said that He Yuzhu had a relationship with her last night. You should ask her for more details."

Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes narrowed, and they looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was so frightened by the look in their eyes that she didn't dare to lift her head.

Immediately afterwards, Director Li and Director Wang began to question Qin Huairu about what had happened.

As expected, Qin Huairu stammered and repeated what she had said before. Then, Director Li and Director Wang verified her testimony with the deaf old lady again.

Director Li walked into the courtyard and asked Zhou Weiguo with a serious expression, "Director Zhou, what do you think of He Yuzhu's matter...?"

Director Wang stood to the side, his eyes darting back and forth between Zhou Weiguo and Qin Huairu, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Zhou Weiguo raised an eyebrow at the two men, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Director Li, Director Wang, let me state my position first. As He Yuzhu's uncle, if this kid breaks the law, he should be executed or imprisoned as appropriate. I'm the first to support that."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's face lit up with joy, and she looked at Zhou Weiguo with excitement.

However, after catching his breath, Zhou Weiguo continued, "By the way, Director Li and Director Wang, I have another question I'd like to ask. What is the sentence for someone who falsely accuses a state official or commits perjury?"

These words struck Qin Huairu like a thunderbolt. She retorted angrily, "Uncle Guo! How can you say that about me? These are all facts! How can you suddenly deny them?"

On the other side, He Yuzhu, watched by two police officers, was anxiously explaining to Yu Li.

Yu Li lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"Zhu Zi, come here," Zhou Weiguo called out. Chief Li gave the police officer a wink.

He Yuzhu rushed forward, her voice trembling with tears, "Uncle! I really didn't do it! Qin Huairu has wronged me!"

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand reassuringly: "Tell Director Li and Director Wang where you were last night, and if anyone can testify?"

He Yuzhu looked aggrieved: "Director Li, Director Wang, I'm innocent! I was at the steel rolling mill all night and didn't go back to the yard at all! How could I possibly have done anything with Qin Huairu..."

Qin Huairu's eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible, Sha Zhu, you're lying!"

She stared intently at He Yuzhu, her whole body trembling.

Director Li's expression hardened: "Really? Then why are you staying at the factory in the middle of the night?"

"I was in a hurry to get my marriage certificate this morning, and I was thinking of getting a letter of introduction from the factory first so I could go pick up Yu Li directly. Who knew that as soon as I got back, Sister Qin... Director Li, Director Wang, you two must help me!"

The crowd erupted in uproar:

"Was Zhu really at the factory last night? And what about Qin Huairu...?"

"Could it be that she dreamt about the pillar doing *that* to her?"

"I didn't realize Qin Huairu knew so much..."

Qin Huairu's face flushed red with anxiety: "Director Li, don't listen to his nonsense! He was with me at home all night..."

Zhou Weiguo beckoned to Yan Fugui: "Director Li, I took Zhuzi to the factory yesterday, and Yan Fugui saw it with his own eyes. Ask him what he has to say."
