Chapter 365: 348 The matter has escalated (second update)

"Comrade, it’s terrible." Hu Xiulan rushed into the police station in a panic, "I want to report a serious crime."

The officer at the police station glanced at her and took out a notebook, "First, tell us where you’re from and what the incident is about."

"Comrade, we need to act fast. If you’re too slow, they’ll have left." Hu Xiulan was almost frantic, "Comrade, let me tell you, I’m Hu Xiulan from Lihua Village, and today, Guaizi’s family was having a full-month celebration for their baby. Some relatives came from the man’s side, and I’m telling you, there’s something off about the relatives that came with them, they..."

Hu Xiulan rambled on at the people in the police station.

After listening to Hu Xiulan’s description, the officer told her to wait a moment as he needed to report this matter to the station chief.

If what she said was true, it was certainly not a small matter, but a serious one.

Seeing that the station chief had been alerted, Hu Xiulan kept nodding, "That’s right, but you need to be quick. If you’re too slow and those people leave, it’ll all have been for nothing."

If they went now, even if the people wanted to leave, they could be blocked on the road.

If they were any later, there was no guarantee they could stop them.

...

"Zhang Dacai, you still have the nerve to demand Pengzi to support you? Have you forgotten what you did to Pengzi and Meizi back in the day?" Granny Huang looked at Zhang Dacai with utter contempt in her eyes, as if she couldn’t recognize his face.

Such a drunkard, he’d driven her daughter out years ago without providing money for Pengzi’s medical expenses, leading to Pengzi’s brain damage.

Zhang Dacai looked towards Xiaonian, not daring to speak recklessly, showing a good attitude in admitting his fault, "I know I was wrong, and I have no face to come to Pengzi. Mom, please let me go, I promise I won’t come to trouble Pengzi anymore."

"Tch, who is your mom? Don’t be shameless." Granny Huang had a fiery temper, easily provoked, "Your words are like farts to me; I don’t believe them."

"If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. What will it take for you to believe me?"

"Write a letter of severance from Pengzi." She couldn’t be blamed for being heartless; compared to what he had done back then, she was actually giving him a lot of face now.

She wasn’t even asking for his property, just a letter of severance would suffice.

Zhang Dacai met Xiaonian’s eyes and braced himself to agree, "Alright, whatever you say goes. I have no objections."

Granny Huang didn’t expect Zhang Dacai to suddenly become so amenable; perhaps he’d had an epiphany after sleeping in the pigpen.

"Yongzi, go. Get Xiaofeng to write a statement of father-son disownment, I need to watch him make his mark on it myself." Zhang Dacai was like a rogue; they needed solid evidence in hand, or he might come to bother Pengzi again someday when he needed money.

Since he disregarded the father-son relationship back then, he shouldn’t blame Pengzi for not caring for him as a father now.

...

The tables previously set up at the entrance of the village had been mostly cleared by neighbors who came to help, leaving only one or two card-playing tables yet to be removed.

A police car arrived at the village entrance, sirens blaring, and everyone looked towards the sound, all wondering the same thing—who had brought trouble upon their family to the point of alarming the police car?

Today, most people from the village had come to the banquet, with only a few remaining at home to eat, and apart from Zhang Dacai causing a commotion at noon which provided a bit of excitement, nothing else should have happened in the village.

Several policemen, clad in uniforms, got out of the police car, followed by Hu Xiulan stepping down from the vehicle.

Seeing Hu Xiulan getting out of the police car, everyone became even more puzzled—why had Hu Xiulan brought the police to the village?

Thinking of the longstanding grudge between Hu Xiulan’s family and Xiaofeng’s family, the expressions of the villagers changed; surely, she hadn’t brought the police to make trouble at Xiaofeng’s house, had she?

Considering this possibility, the people at the entrance immediately called for He Ximei.

"Fatty, take a look. Xiulan brought the police over, isn’t she here to cause trouble?" At noontime, Zhang Dacai was causing trouble, and now Hu Xiulan had come looking for trouble with someone in tow.

He Ximei’s eyes narrowed, "My family hasn’t done anything illegal. Even if she brought the entire police station here, they can’t do anything to me."

Her family hadn’t stolen, hadn’t cheated, and definitely hadn’t harmed others or committed injustice.

"Comrade, it’s that house over there." Hu Xiulan pointed towards Xiaofeng’s house, "Their daughter had twins, a boy and a girl, and they’re holding the banquet today."

"Just tell us directly, who has weapons on them?" asked Officer A.

Hu Xiulan glanced around and didn’t see the twins anywhere; could they have already left?

Xiaonian and Xiaoyan, having helped Granny Huang procure Zhang Dacai’s written severance from Su Peng, were extremely happy.

"Black and white," next time I won’t be afraid when Zhang Dacai comes to make trouble.

Hu Xiulan’s eyes were sharp. She spotted them coming out from the pigpen area, pointed her finger, her voice filled with excitement, "It’s that girl, that girl has a weapon on her."

Luckily, she hadn’t left yet.

Hu Xiulan’s voice wasn’t soft, and everyone heard it.

He Ximei frowned, not understanding what Hu Xiulan wanted with a little girl, but since Xiaonian was a guest, she quickly went to Xiaofeng’s room, her voice somewhat urgent, "Chu Qing, come out for a moment."

Chu Qing was drying the hands and feet of the twins, as it’s said that being exposed to heat during the month helps prevent the children from getting sick.

Chu Qing wrapped up the children and left the room, not understanding what He Ximei wanted her for, "Big Sister He, what’s the matter?"

"Come with me," He Ximei pulled Chu Qing toward the crowd.

At this moment, Xiaonian and her brother had already been surrounded by the villagers who were eager to see what Hu Xiulan was up to and why she suddenly started to make things difficult for the two relatives of Xiaofeng’s family.

"Comrade, it’s her. I just saw with my own eyes that she really has a... gun," Hu Xiulan pointed at Xiaonian, "You won’t believe it until you search her, it’s definitely still on her."

Old Granny Huang found Hu Xiulan’s words amusing, "Hu Xiulan, you’re really funny. They’re just two kids. You say they have guns, who would believe that? I’m telling you, don’t think they can be bullied just because they come from outside. With me here, don’t even think about bullying them."

They were Ye Cheng’s relatives, and Ye Cheng was Pengzi’s lifesaver.

Ye Cheng saved her grandson, so naturally, he was her benefactor too.

Besides, handguns are not something an ordinary person would have.

Zhang Dacai, who had just come out from the pigpen and was preparing to sneak away, heard Hu Xiulan’s words and emerged from the side, "What she’s saying is true. This little kid really has a gun. She even tried pulling a gun on me just now. If not for her, I wouldn’t have severed ties with my son. It’s all because she forced me."

It would be foolish not to seize the opportunity to speak out.

The little girl just now had really been terrifying, nearly scaring the pee out of him.

Everyone looked at Zhang Dacai. His face and body were covered in an unbearable stench, making people instinctively want to step back a few paces.

"Yes, I saw it too. I was hiding under the big tree behind the pigpen and saw her pointing the gun at Zhang Dacai, as if she was about to shoot. As soon as I realized it was serious, I rushed to report it to the authorities," said Hu Xiulan, who was sure she hadn’t seen wrong.

People around her chattered at her, and Xiaonian looked puzzled, "Granny, what are they saying? Are they saying I’m pretty and they want me to stay to be their daughter-in-law?"

Xiaoyan’s mouth twitched, truly enough narcissism there.

Old Granny Huang’s mouth also twitched at hearing this. This girl really had no concerns at all; how could she possibly have such a thing on her?

And even if the kids did have something, it was probably just a toy, not the real thing.

"They said they saw you pull out a gun and want to shoot him," Old Granny Huang pointed at Zhang Dacai.

"What’s going on here?" Chu Qing, who was innately dignified and graceful and dressed decently, looked every bit the lady of stature.

When she spoke, the villagers turned towards her.

The chief of the police station hadn’t expected to encounter someone of such high status in such a place and approached officially, "Madam, we received a report that your daughter blatantly had a handgun and intended to harm someone. We specifically came over to investigate thoroughly."

This was no small matter, and if it was true, it would be a serious issue that had to be handled with strictness.

"Comrade, this is absolutely impossible. They are my son-in-law’s relatives, here today to attend my twin grandchildren’s full-month celebration, not criminals," He Ximei felt worried the moment she heard it.

This was no small incident, and Hu Xiulan’s ability to fabricate stories out of thin air was getting out of hand, to concoct such a lie effortlessly.

"Real or fake, let the police comrades check and everything will be clear," snorted Hu Xiulan.

If there really was a gun on her, and the police comrades found it, not to mention Ye Cheng, even Su Xiaofeng and He Ximei, not one of them could shirk responsibility.

"Comrade, hello, I’m their mother, my name is Chu Qing, and this is my daughter Xiaonian," Chu Qing stepped forward, standing in front of Xiaonian, "There must be some misunderstanding here."

No one knew better than her whether her daughter had such a thing.

"Madam, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, we’ll only find out after a search. Please step aside and cooperate with our work, thank you." If it turned out to be true, it would be a big issue.
