"Something terrible has happened to the Jia family! Everyone come out quickly!"

As soon as they heard them shouting like that, everyone came out.

The three women noticed that their son's hair was still wet.

She grabbed him and said, "You went to the bathhouse again?"

Yan Jiefang said excitedly, "Mom, don't ask about that yet. I have some big news to tell you. Aunt Jia has been arrested, and by a policeman no less."

"Ah! This is a very important matter, you mustn't talk nonsense."

“I saw it with my own eyes. Not only did I see it, but everyone who was taking a shower in the bathroom tonight saw it.”

Such a major event had never happened in their courtyard house before.

That Jia Zhangshi, isn't she at work?

Although it was said before that I was peeping at other people taking a shower.

But this matter has already been resolved in their courtyard house.

Moreover, she has already apologized and made compensation.

Did someone report this to the police?

"Old Yan, was it you who reported the case?"

Yan Bugui quickly shook his head.

He was also greatly surprised when he heard the news.

Arrested by the police?

What a terrible thing to do!

It seems the Jia family is finished this time!

"Of course I won't report it to the police. This matter can be resolved in the courtyard. Even if I did, the police station wouldn't accept it."

"Jiefang, are you sure you're not mistaken? Was the person who arrested her really a policeman?"

"It's absolutely true, Director Ma arrested him personally."

Even Director Ma has been mobilized, so this matter must be of great importance!

Xu Damao continued banging on the washbasin.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Everyone, come out quickly! Someone from our courtyard 278 has been arrested! Come out and see!"

“The old woman from the Jia family deserved it; she should have been arrested when she was spying on us.”

Xu Fugui and Aunt Xu came out.

He pulled Xu Damao along.

"Stop talking, or the Jia family might overhear you."

"So what if we hear it? It's a fact. She did such a thing, so why can't we say it?"

"Doesn't she work at the bathhouse? Isn't she working overtime if she's not home this late?"

"Working overtime? She's been arrested, you know. Maybe Jia Dongxu will have to bring her food tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai and an older woman also came out.

The older woman, seeing this, knew something serious had happened.

Pulling Yi Zhonghai aside, she asked worriedly, "Has Aunt Jia really been arrested? Although she's sharp-tongued, she only talks about everyday matters in the courtyard. Why was she arrested? Did the police arrest the wrong person?"

Yi Zhonghai glared at her.

"Shut up. A police station that big wouldn't arrest the wrong person, would it? Maybe she really did something wrong outside."

"What mistakes could a housewife like her have made? Don't you want to think of a way to help her?"

save?

Yi Zhonghai didn't think that way.

Although he did not know what mistake Jia Zhangshi had made.

But he is now certain that he must stay away from this matter.

I hope this matter won't involve him.

It would be best if Jia Dongxu didn't come asking me for help.

Even if he comes begging, I will absolutely not interfere!

"Stop talking. Just stand here and watch. If you say anything more, get out of here and go home."

His temper is getting worse and worse. Just as the old lady was about to say something, Jia Dongxu came back.

He stayed at the steel rolling mill tonight to work overtime again.

He didn't want to go home.

Firstly, he wanted to perform well at the factory and try to get a raise; secondly, after returning, Qin Huairu didn't give him a good look and even made him sleep on the floor.

Upon their return, they were immediately surrounded by Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang.

... ..... 0

"Did you come back from the bathhouse or the police station?"

Jia Dongxu was completely baffled by the question.

"I came back from the factory!"

Did you run into your mom?

"Hasn't she come back yet? Is she working overtime at the bathhouse?"

"Haha, it seems you don't know that something bad has happened to your family."

What happened to our family?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Xu Damao couldn't be happier.

Jia Dongxu was a few years older than him.

Ever since he could remember, Jia Zhangshi had always been telling him that their son Dongxu was taller and stronger than him, had a better job, was not only sensible at home, but was also very popular at the factory, and was a permanent employee.

Of all the young people in the courtyard, her son was definitely the best.

Xu Damao hates nothing more than others comparing themselves to him.

Besides, Jia Dongxu is several years older than me, so of course he grew up earlier and started working earlier.

Later, he married Qin Huairu.

This girl is incredibly lazy, but she's still pretty.

Nothing much happens every day.

He was just leaning against the door, eating sunflower seeds.

Xu Damao began to feel jealous of Jia Dongxu's wife again.

If he had been born a few years earlier, perhaps Qin Huairu wouldn't have had a chance with Jia Dongxu at all!

He tried to seduce her several times.

But Qin Huairu completely ignored him.

It's probably because he's too young and doesn't have a formal job that Qin Huairu looks down on him.

He found Jia Dongxu increasingly unpleasant to look at.

Now that his family has encountered such a misfortune, he is overjoyed.

She grabbed him and said, "Do you want to know what happened to your family? Beg me, and I'll tell you right away if you beg me."

Then Qin Huairu shouted, "Jia Dongxu, what are you doing there instead of going home?"

Hearing her call, Jia Dongxu came running over.

"What's going on today? Everyone's whispering that something happened to my mom. What exactly happened to her?"

I couldn't help but peek inside. 3

"What time is it? Why isn't she back yet? Is she working overtime at the bathhouse again? Is she exhausted and collapsed at her post? I'll go carry her back right now."

Qin Huairu glanced at him. 6

From the intermittent chatter she'd overheard, she already knew that Jia Zhangshi had committed a crime at the bathhouse and had been arrested by the police.

This is absolutely horrific! 4

Will her arrest implicate her family? Will the police come to question them? 6

If asked, how should she answer?

Qin Huairu's heart was pounding.

Such a big thing.

It's not something she can decide on her own.

Tell Jia Dongxu about this.

Jia Dongxu was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.

"You mean my mom got arrested? How is that possible? She's working at the bathroom, how could she have been arrested?"

"Can't you be more considerate? Isn't this embarrassing enough? Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang said it themselves, how could they be wrong?"

“They must still be thinking about what happened last time, so they’re trying to frame our family. I’m going to find them right now.”

"Come back here! Not only did they see it, but several people who were bathing in the bathhouse tonight all saw it. Are they all wrong?"

...

I'm begging for your subscriptions and data! As long as there are readers, I'll definitely update like crazy. Thank you so much!

117. Donate money? I'll punch you, you moral saint!

Jia Dongxu felt a sudden dizziness!

What should we do now that such a big thing has happened in our family?

It was clear that there were only three people in their family.

His mother has now been arrested.

"Should I go out and ask around?"

Where do you want to inquire?

"Of course we should go to the police station and ask them why they arrested my mother and when they will release her."

Qin Huairu wished she could slap him a few times on the spot.

If we go at this time...

Isn't it obvious that they're just offering themselves up?

She wished she could sever all ties with Jia Zhangshi right now, yet he still wanted to go to the police station to ask her personally.

"No, we absolutely cannot go."

“But it’s so chilly at night, and she’s dressed so lightly. I need to bring her some clothes and blankets.”

"No, what if I go and it gets you into trouble?"

"But she's my mother, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

"Don't forget you're still working at the steel rolling mill. If the people at the mill find out about this, you might lose your job."

Jia Dongxu panicked!

If he loses his job, his family of three will be left destitute.
