The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Before the police could even speak, Qin Huairu had already said this.

Jia Dongxu spoke first: "Huai Ru, you mustn't say such things."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Huai Ru, don't make things up without evidence."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong retorted, "How could that be? There's no conflict between your two families. Dongxu and Dalinzi's relationship isn't exactly great, but it's not bad either."

Qin Huairu, don't you dare frame innocent people like that.

The policeman who arrived seemed to be someone special.

Holding a notebook in his hand, he took notes on what everyone said. After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Comrade Qin Huairu, are you sure?"

Without evidence, we cannot arbitrarily arrest people.

Think carefully, are there any other suspects?

Or rather, why do you suspect Yang Dalin of the Qi family?

Upon hearing this question, Qin Huairu's expression turned sour, but then she remembered that she was wrapped up tightly and no one could see her face.

Qin Huairu wasn't too worried.

However, the policeman keenly noticed that Qin Huairu's eyes were not quite right.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and remained silent. The policeman spoke again: "Comrade Qin Huairu, please tell us in detail."

Otherwise, if you make false accusations against innocent people without any evidence or witnesses, you'll have to apologize to them, and it might even damage your family's reputation in the neighborhood.

Think carefully before you speak.

Qin Huairu raised her head, glanced at everyone, and then, thinking about the possibility of being disfigured, she hardened her heart.

We must take revenge on the Qi family, especially Yang Dalin.

At the very least, he should lose money, and lose as much as possible.

Otherwise, I don't know when I'll be able to afford the money for my face and dental work.

If I'm really disfigured, how will I ever make a living off my looks again?

How can she possibly control the men in the courtyard?

No, we must catch Yang Dalin.

It's because their family has been doing so well in such a short time.

Indeed, a woman's jealousy is the most irrational thing.

They will always be different from the world's perception, somewhat like Prime Minister Cao's arrogant words: "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

Too selfish and too self-righteous.

Qin Huairu raised her head and said with a blank look in her eyes, "Officer, I've thought about it carefully, and I really haven't offended anyone else."

The first time I was beaten was the day before when I took my child to the Qi family's house. The child said he was hungry and ate a few cornbreads at their house.

It wasn't something I asked for; they gave it to me voluntarily. How much can a small child eat, right?

Then the next day I was put in a sack and slapped in the face.

This resulted in several teeth becoming loose.

The second time was when the Qi family invited Grandpa Qi from our courtyard to dinner. The children were craving meat, so they asked for some pieces.

They gave it to us voluntarily; our child just smelled it at their doorstep and didn't ask for it.

The next day, when I went to the toilet, my cotton-padded coat was lifted up and covered my head. I was slapped several times, which caused me to lose four teeth.

This time, we didn't go to ask for food. Maybe it's because yesterday I was in the toilet and Zhou's wife in the backyard gossiping about their family. They have food to feed their daughters to practice martial arts, but they don't even bother to help the hungry neighbors in our yard.

Their family may have overheard this, and then they deliberately retaliated against me.

Officer, if you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Zhou in the backyard of our compound.

We were just chatting, it doesn't warrant violence, does it?

This is going to ruin my face. What if the pebble is any bigger and I hit it and die? Would that be a murder case?

"Officer, you absolutely must arrest their family. It must be them, there's no mistake."

After saying this, Jia Dongxu was too ashamed to look at the police officer. Yi Zhonghai felt that Qin Huairu had a point. If it really was Yang Dalin, Yi Zhonghai would not let him go either, but these were all speculations without evidence.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this? The first time I was beaten, Yang Dalin had just arrived, and his family was still struggling to get enough to eat. Yet you brought two kids to his house to eat cornbread."

The child is crying and making a fuss. I don't know how to handle it. I don't have a belt or a feather duster.

Letting your child cry and make a scene in someone else's house, even stealing their life-saving food, makes me want to beat you up, let alone Yang Dalin.

They deserved it.

They want a second time? They went to great lengths to get some meat to treat us, what business is it of yours? Everyone knows you deliberately sent the meat sticks there. They saw the kids crowding at the door, how could they refuse?

If someone gives you their child and then tries to steal another person's, and you still protect them, why would they hit your child instead of you?

This time, their family is letting the girl eat her fill and learn martial arts from Sha Zhu's wife. What's it to you?

You look down on other people's girls for eating more food, and you want them to save the food for your family? What are you thinking? You're out of your mind.

What gives them the right? They're just being arrogant.

They're just eating their own food, they can eat it however they want. They're really being lazy and only thinking about wishful thinking.

Does that mean everyone in the hospital who's better off should help your family?

Liu Hai was also quite uncomfortable. He glared at Qin Huairu and turned his face away.

The policeman observed the expressions on the three people's faces.

Then he asked, "Comrade Qin Huairu, do you have any other evidence or witnesses? These are all just your guesses."

Without witnesses and without evidence, we cannot arbitrarily arrest people.

Otherwise, what's the difference between them and the corrupt police during the pre-liberation era?

Qin Huairu panicked and screamed, "It must be his house, it must be Yang Dalin, he's strong, it's 100% him!"

When the police officer saw Qin Huairu's crazy state, he gestured to Jia Dongxu to calm her down.

Jia Dongxu quickly pressed down on Qin Huairu's legs, but he dared not press down on her hands, because Qin Huairu's hands were also wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

She also had quite a few small wounds on her hands.

"Huai Ru, Huai Ru, calm down, calm down, don't panic, the police will investigate carefully."

Seeing that Qin Huairu had calmed down a bit, the police officer said, "We will investigate and solve the case as soon as possible. Comrade Qin Huairu, please focus on recovering."

Comrade Liu Haizhong, and Comrade Yi Zhonghai, could you please see me off?

The police officer wanted to call the two people out and ask them for more details.

So I made up an excuse to see him off.

Yi Zhonghai and the others left the ward, closed the door, and came to a stairwell.

The police officer first introduced himself: "My name is Wu, and my surname is Wu Yisheng. You can call me Comrade Wu Yisheng from now on."

I am the captain in charge of security patrols in Nanluoguxiang.

Let's chat for a bit. I'd also like to ask you about Yang Dalin from your neighborhood.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong each greeted, "Hello, Captain Wu."

Yi Zhonghai then asked separately, "Is Captain Wu a newly transferred candidate?"

Captain Wu countered, "Indeed, how come Master Yi has acquaintances in our station?"

Do you know everyone in our institute?

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "It's for work purposes. We two are part-time liaisons for the institute, and we've met a few of your colleagues."

I'm not that familiar with him, but people in your institute should know quite a bit about Yang Dalin.

That's why I asked this question.
