I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Upon seeing this, everyone rushed forward. The police officer in the lead picked up the stick and ran outside.

Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi plopped down in the middle of the road, pounded the ground with her hands, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You heartless little beast! It's all because of your family that my precious grandson got hurt!"

Your family has to pay me compensation, 100 yuan, no, 500 yuan! Zhou Weiguo, you despicable bastard, if you hadn't come back and blocked the front door, preventing my precious grandson from coming out, how could he have climbed through the back window?

How could my precious grandson have fallen from your window? Your family must take full responsibility! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death!

Zhou Weiguo stood aside and watched coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to her.

The police officer, holding the stick, couldn't stand it any longer and shouted angrily, "Your grandson went to someone else's house to steal things, got hurt, and you're blaming them? If someone committed suicide in your house, could I accuse you of intentional homicide? Your grandson is in this state, and instead of thinking about saving him, you're thinking about extorting money? I don't have time to deal with you now, but wait until I get back, and see how I deal with you!"

After saying that, the police officer walked past Jia Zhangshi and quickly walked out.

Zhou Weiguo wanted to go with them, but the police stopped him: "Don't go, Xiao Liu, you stay and check the situation. The child is injured, we definitely have to save him, but we can't let the criminals get away with it."

"yes!"

The police officers took Zhou Weiguo and the others back to their home. As soon as they entered, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but curse, "Holy shit!" The floor was covered in flour and grain, water had been spilled from the flour jar, and the blankets and quilts on the bed were also ruined, emitting a foul stench. Most disgustingly, there was even a hot pot on the octagonal table.

Looking at the mess, Zhou Weiguo secretly vowed: I will never eat at this table again, even if it kills me!

After much effort, with the help of the police, the group estimated the loss to be around 55 yuan.

After registering the information, the police officer said, "Alright, you can hurry up and pack your things. Buy what you need and replace what you need. There's no need to investigate anything further given the current situation. That family has already gone to the hospital. We'll come back tomorrow afternoon."

Just as the police officer left, Director Wang from the neighborhood office walked in.

Zhou Weiguo quickly greeted her, "Aunt Wang, I thought you had already gone back."

Director Wang shook his head helplessly: "I just gave Yi Zhonghai a good scolding. He's been getting more and more unreliable lately."

Zhou Weiguo said with a wry smile, "Yes, I just came back and saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi fighting over Zhuzi's lunchbox. I was dumbfounded. You know, Yi Zhonghai has plenty to eat and drink, so why would he follow Jia Zhangshi and do something like this?"

Director Wang looked troubled: "For the sake of the country, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. If possible, when handling this matter tomorrow, please try to minimize its impact. After all, Yi Zhonghai is a senior official I appointed..."

Seeing Director Wang's hesitant expression, Zhou Weiguo wondered to himself: Is Wang Gaizi about to "go online"?

Director Wang quickly explained, "For the sake of the country, I'm not trying to make you suffer. If you need to sue, then sue, just be mindful of the impact. As for that old man Yi Zhonghai, once the case is settled, I will definitely remove him from the case."

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, I understand what Aunt Wang means. I'll think about how to handle it tomorrow."

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Qin Huairu anxiously waited outside the emergency room, while the police officer and Jia Zhangshi sat on a bench nearby.

At this moment, a nurse came over and said, "Family member of Jia Banggeng, please go and pay the medical fees."

Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale instantly: "Okay, I'll go hand it in right away."

She walked up to Jia Zhangshi, but before she could say anything, Jia Zhangshi slapped her hard across the face: "Smack!"

"Qin Huairu, you bitch! What are you doing standing in front of me? I have no money! Zhou Weiguo's family should be the ones to pay for it! Why should we have to pay for my Banggeng's injury?"

The police officer stood up angrily, pointed at Jia Zhangshi, and warned, "Don't you dare lay a hand on me here. This is a public place. Don't think you can cause trouble just because you're older. I've seen plenty of people like you!"

Madam Jia Zhang, however, was relentless, jumping up and shouting, "What business is it of yours how I discipline my daughter-in-law? Do you also think that Qin Huairu, that slut, is seductive? Are you like Sha Zhu, having taken a liking to this whore?"

The police officer, also hot-tempered, grabbed Jia Zhangshi, handcuffed her, and shouted into the distance, "Go, bring the tricycle over here! You think I can't handle a shrew like you? Now, in addition to the charges brought against you by the family of a martyr, we've added two more—obstructing official business and insult!"

Jia Zhangshi was forced to the ground and began shouting, "Murder! Help! An official is harassing an innocent woman in broad daylight! Old Jia, come quickly and take this...!"

Suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly—a pistol was pressed against her head.

In an instant, Jia Zhangshi not only stopped throwing a tantrum, but her legs also started shaking uncontrollably.

Moments later, a patch of yellow liquid spread across the ground.

Qin Huairu was also quite frightened and quickly ran to the police officer to apologize: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! Comrade, my mother-in-law is used to being domineering at home, I'm really sorry!"

The police officer waved his hand: "It's alright, let her be arrogant. When we get to the station, we'll teach her a lesson and see who suffers. By the way, it's okay if you don't have money. I'll talk to the hospital later and have them connect directly with the steel mill."

We were originally planning to arrest her, but we postponed it because the child was injured. Since she's determined to cause trouble, we'll take her back to the station for a thorough interrogation. By the way, where's your husband? With such a serious incident at home, why haven't we seen him?"

Qin Huairu looked bitter and said softly, "Dongxu was probably too tired from work. He fell asleep in bed before the accident, so he probably didn't hear us..."

The police officer looked surprised and shook his head, sighing, "Like mother, like son. Even her own son is like this, yet she still has the mind to sleep. There are all sorts of people out there."

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and the doctor came out, looking helpless: "What happened to the child? The wound was too deep, with glass shards and metal fragments. We did our best, but we could only save one child; the other has been removed."

These words struck Qin Huairu like a bolt from the blue. She collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

The doctor quickly reassured him, "Don't worry too much. Children have strong recovery abilities, and theoretically it won't affect their ability to grow up, get married, and have children. It's just that the chances are a little lower than for ordinary people."

The police officer shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. Qin Huairu sat alone on the ground, silently weeping. She was filled with remorse, regretting that she hadn't been assertive enough and that she hadn't stopped Banggeng from following Jia Zhangshi's bad influence.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Would things be better for the family if it weren't for Jia Zhangshi?
