860 Making Enemies
“If you don’t know how to speak properly, then shut your mouth. Why are you shouting nonsense? It’s the middle of the night and you don’t even care that you’re disturbing the peace,” Xia He said unhappily as she tapped her ears.
She had already heard this woman shouting at the police station for the entire afternoon the previous time and it made her ears feel uncomfortable for a long time. Now, as long as she heard someone screaming, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
“You say that I’m shouting nonsense! You’re a junior, how can you talk to your elders like this! Don’t you have any manners! You not only hit us, but you also scold us!” Old Madam Fan shouted as she pointed at Xia He.
Qian’e frowned and looked fiercely at Old Madam Fan. She had seen many people like this. This woman was bullying others just because she was fat and had a loud voice.
She had thought that the person who bullied Qiao Mei must be quite impressive. She did not expect it to be someone like this.
“The police will be here soon. You should see how your son is doing. He’s been lying motionless on the ground for a while,” Qian’e said faintly.
Old Madam Fan had never seen this girl before. She seemed to be an easy person to talk to.
Old Madam Fan held on to Su Yang and pretended to be pitiful as she said, “Miss! You have to uphold justice for our family!”
“Uphold justice? I can’t do that, but I can already see the issue just now,” Qian’e said gently.
Old Madam Fan hurriedly asked, “What did you see! Tell me quickly!”
“I saw your son trying to kick that little boy. This young lady hit your son to protect her younger brother,” Qian’e said.
“Hey! How can you talk nonsense! When did my son hit this child! It’s clearly this child who hit us!” Old Madam Fan shouted as she pointed at Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao hid in Xia He’s arms and shook his head repeatedly. He did not do anything. If these two people had not hit Li Gui first, they would not have retaliated.
“My younger brother said he didn’t hit you,” Xia He said.
“He’s lying! You were the ones who attacked us first!” Old Madam Fan said agitatedly.
Qian’e pointed at Zhang Chao and said, “He’s just a child. Why would a child lie? Why don’t you ask the neighbors around here? They must have all seen what happened just now.”
After Qian’e said this, Old Madam Fan looked towards the dark alley. Many people retracted their heads and closed the doors. They just wanted to watch the commotion and did not want to get involved.
The police rushed over in their car. It was the same two police officers from the other day. When they saw Old Madam Fan, they almost wanted to drive back.
“You bunch of good-for-nothings! You don’t even dare to tell the truth! You’re all a bunch of assholes! You’re all in cahoots!” Old Madam Fan shouted towards the alley.
Someone from one of the families immediately kicked open the door upon hearing this. Sun Juan, the neighbor, said, “I saw it! You were the ones who blocked the way of the children and that sister and even kicked their vehicles. In the afternoon, I saw you sneaking around outside their house! You were the ones who attacked first!”
“Stupid bitch, shut up! You can’t believe what she says! She has a grudge against me! Everything she says is not true!” Old Madam Fan shouted.
“Hey, hey, hey! Stop arguing! Let’s talk when we get back!” the police officer said.
Xia He greeted the police officers, then pointed at Zhang Wei and said, “Officers, please bring my younger brother to the hospital first.”
The police officer brought everyone to the hospital first. Sun Juan stayed at home and would wait until tomorrow morning to go to the police station to record her statement.
Regarding the grudge between Sun Juan and Old Madam Fan, it was not an ordinary one. This was because Su Liang had caused the death of Sun Juan’s daughter.
Back when Su Liang stole things, there was a period of time when he only stole underwear from Sun Juan’s daughter. He did not care whether it was clean or worn, he would simply take everything. Everyone living here had to use a public bathhouse and they all had to line up to take a shower.
The bricks and tiles were not laid close enough. One could see what was going on inside by secretly lifting the bricks. However, since they were all neighbors, everyone still had a conscience and would not do such immoral things.
However, when Sun Juan’s daughter was taking a shower, she realized that Su Liang was crouching at the wall and peeping at her. After she discovered him, he even winked at her. After that, he often approached her and insulted her with vulgar language.
As time passed, Sun Juan’s daughter could not take it anymore and jumped into the well to commit suicide. The family did not have any direct evidence to prove that Su Liang was the culprit, so they could not pursue the matter.
Actually, Sun Juan had gone to look for Old Madam Fan to ask for an explanation. However, not only did Old Madam Fan refuse to admit it, but Old Madam Fan even scolded her and said that her daughter was a whore who deserved to jump into the well.
