"Everyone come and look, this shameless woman who steals other men and has caused someone’s grandson to die is a murderer!" Mother Qi yelled, dragging Lu Shufen along.
The neighbors had already gathered to watch the commotion when Mother Qi and her group started calling at the door.
Lu Shufen felt like she wanted to die, damn woman, these are all shrews, robbers!
Husband, Xiao Tian, why aren’t you here yet? Me and my child are about to not make it.
It was as if Heaven had heard her summons; from the doorway, a stern voice of authority came through.
"What is going on here?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Shufen felt like she had heard the voice of a savior; she mustered all her strength to shake off Mother Qi’s hand and rushed over.
"Move aside, move, everyone go back home."
Jiang Conghe finally emerged from the crowd, accompanied by Regimental Commander Mai and two soldiers.
Lu Shufen burst into tears, "You took so long! My daughter and I were almost beaten to death!"
Qi Fenglian’s face drastically changed. She quickly grabbed the two old ladies and, after a quick thought, whispered hurriedly into Mother Qi’s ear, "Mom, whatever they say later, don’t bother with anything, just start slapping your thigh and wail."
Mother Qi, upon seeing the person of authority, felt somewhat panicked and swallowed hard.
Jiang Conghe, witnessing Lu Shufen’s swollen face, felt his head buzz, "Who did this, who hit her!"
"Who else, but these shrews, sob sob, we were almost beaten to death!" Lu Shufen glared bitterly at Mother Qi.
"Sister!" Chiang Tian saw Chiang Qing sitting inside with bright red slap marks on her face and couldn’t help but go over and pull her up.
Upon seeing his daughter, Jiang Conghe’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
Was this still his flower-like daughter? She looked more like a mad woman, and his wife—usually so dignified and graceful—now...
Jiang Conghe couldn’t bear to look, as rage spread throughout his body.
At the back of the group, Regimental Commander Mai saw this and his scalp tingled; he quietly gestured to Gao Linbing, who had come with him. Gao Linbing, pale-faced, hurried away.
"Where are the guards? Call the guards, lock these troublemakers up and summon the police," Jiang Conghe roared with rage.
Lock them up, call the police.
Mother Qi and her group immediately became flustered and at a loss.
From the corner of her eye, Lu Shufen saw this and her lips curled into a cold smirk. You damn shrew, now you’re afraid? Too late!
Qi Fenglian’s face turned white, and she quietly nudged Mother Qi.
Mother Qi immediately sat down on the ground, hitting her thigh and started wailing, "Heaven above, open your eyes, is there no law left? To justify murder, it’s an outrage against Heaven. Oh Heaven, please open your eyes; this is driving us powerless commoners to death!"
Mother Cheng joined in the commotion, crying out, "A murderer gets to be right, commoners have no way out, might as well just die!" Saying so, she went to the window and acted as if she would jump out.
Jiang Conghe and the others were taken aback.
This was completely a hooligan’s behavior!
"Mom, Mother-in-law, please don’t do this," Qi Fenglian earnestly wiped away a few tears.
"My poor grandson, you didn’t even get the chance to open your eyes, oh dear, to see a white-haired person send off someone with black hair, I might as well die!" Mother Qi wailed again, "Everyone, judge for yourselves, isn’t this a case of the perpetrator justifying herself? Can the powerful bully the common people?"
"This is outrageous!" Jiang Conghe trembled with anger.
Having seen enough of the drama, Regimental Commander Mai stepped forward and diplomatically suggested, "Commissar Tan, Commander Chiang, this might be the family of Comrade Qi Taiguo, the old lady is ignorant, got anxious and is seeking justice."
