Chapter 485: Chapter 485

Zhang Gouzi’s wife felt like her world was collapsing. If her man really ended up in jail, what would she do? How could she, a woman alone, raise a child? And neither her brothers-in-law nor their wives were generous people.

No, this absolutely could not go on this way!

After making up her mind, Zhang Gouzi’s wife rushed toward the police and once again hugged the thigh of the officer who seemed to be in charge. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net

"You’re talking nonsense! My man would never rape a woman; it must have been those women seducing him. Let my man go now, otherwise... otherwise, I’ll kill myself right in front of you, ah, the police are beating people, the police are beating people..."

She tried to throw a tantrum again, but unfortunately, the onlookers from the village showed no sympathy for her, some even ridiculed, "Zhang Gouzi’s wife, we can all see it, the officer didn’t touch you at all, look how you have ruined the officer’s pants, those pants must be costly, you need to compensate him."

The officer whose leg was being hugged looked down at this stout, unpleasant woman with disdain, struggling mightily to pull his leg free, but she held on tight, he could not move even a little bit.

"Let go! If you don’t let go, it will be considered obstruction of public duties, interfering with police work!" shouted the officer, while urgently directing three other officers to pull this woman away.

The villagers watched the commotion unfolding before them, laughing uproariously. People who usually didn’t get along with the Zhangs were mocking and taunting, but The Zhang’s were too busy dealing with the police to notice.

The wives of Zhang Second and Zhang Third were unwilling to get involved in the scuffle between Zhang Gouzi’s wife and the police, but Zhang Second and Zhang Third, worried about their elder brother, immediately went over to help. They pretended to persuade their sister-in-law while pleading with the police for leniency, but simultaneously blocked the officers from dragging her away.

The police saw right through their little scheme, eventually snapping and shouting "Cuff him!"

The police officers stopped trying to pull her away, instead quickly pulled Zhang Third’s arms to his back and slapped the cold handcuffs on his wrists.

This shocked Zhang Third’s wife badly, she immediately rushed forward, protecting her man, "Officer, my husband did nothing wrong, you can’t cuff him."

The police barked, "Keep causing a scene and all of you will be locked up in the county jail."

"No more causing a scene, no more causing a scene..."

Zhang Third’s wife immediately pulled her husband back, Zhang Second’s wife also forcefully pulled her own man back, leaving only Zhang Gouzi’s wife still holding onto the policeman’s leg.

Seeing this, the police officer snorted lightly, the villagers further despised and looked down on the Zhang family, their brotherhood was nothing more than this.

Mai Qiqi kept her head down, not saying a word; she knew the accusations against Zhang Gouzi about scheming for compensation and intending to rape women must have been orchestrated by Chen Ke, without getting her involved at all. Maybe she shouldn’t have brought Wan Chu’er along this afternoon; it inadvertently dragged her into this mess.

Seeing how the situation was unfolding, Zhang Gouzi’s wife started to act up again, immediately spotting Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi nearby, she began to scream.

"My man would never rape a woman, it must be her, it must be this slut surnamed Mai, she seduced my man, was it you who called the police?"

Upon hearing this, without a second thought, Wan Chu’er slapped Zhang Gouzi’s wife across the face twice, knocking out one of her teeth.

"Keep spewing nonsense, and it won’t just be a tooth next time!"

Everyone was astounded all at once; no one had anticipated this turn of events, and Wan Chu’er’s strength was surprisingly powerful.

The police reacted first, frowning at Zhang Gouzi’s wife, "If you continue to spout nonsense and unjustly accuse others, your husband will never get out of this."

Zhang Gouzi’s wife shrieked, "I want to call the police, she hit someone, you all saw it just now, why don’t you arrest her? Arrest her quickly."

Wan Chu’er said indifferently, "This woman should indeed be locked up."

Taken aback for a moment, the police, urged by the officer who Zhang Gouzi’s wife was clinging to, nodded and ordered his subordinates, "Cuff her!"

So, the three policemen who were previously interrupted once again took out handcuffs and reached for Zhang Gouzi’s wife, ignoring her thrashing and flailing, forcefully pulled her hands away from the captain’s legs, and cuffed her.

Now everyone understood; the police were so compliant with Wan Chu’er’s words, likely because she was the one who had called them here, which added a layer of fear towards Wan Chu’er among the crowd.

Mrs. Zhang cursed, "You filthy bitch, you won’t die a good death, why should they listen to you, did they take any advantage from you..." Her curses grew nastier.

The policemen began to feel awkward, and after a cold glance from Wan Chu’er, the captain went over and dislocated Zhang Gouzi’s wife’s jaw, and she could no longer continue her tirade.

The police captain simply asked Wan Chu’er directly, "Is there anything else you would like us to do?"

Everyone looked at them in surprise, all ears perked up; the police not only favored Wan Chu’er, but also showed such explicit respect.

Wan Chu’er glanced at Mai Qiqi, who pointed at several of the Zhang Family members and said, "They blocked my car for no reason at noon today and damaged it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two Zhang brothers took a step back without hesitation and quickly said:

"It was her, she told us to do it. It was she who wanted to get money and the car from Mai Qiqi."

Mrs. Zhang’s eyes bulged, and she howled inarticulately for a long time, her face turning green with fury.

All the villagers glared at the Zhang Family people; many of them had joined the village chief in beating these folks at noon. They were more than grateful for what Mai Qiqi and Wan Chu’er had done for their village, and upon hearing how greedily the Zhang Family had schemed against Mai Qiqi, they immediately grew unhappy.

"Officer, we can all testify, the damage to Mai Qiqi’s car was indeed caused by them this afternoon."

"It’s not our fault." The wives of the Zhang brothers immediately shouted, "It was all our eldest brother and sister-in-law’s idea."

The police looked towards Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi and asked, "What are your demands?"

Mai Qiqi pointed to the now silenced Zhang Gouzi’s wife, "This woman must be locked up; the others should compensate the repair costs for my car."

In the end, Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan, the two brothers, took out 2,000 yuan and paid Mai Qiqi. Both the Zhang brothers and their wives felt both heartache and resentful towards their sister-in-law. If not for her instigation, they wouldn’t have had to spend so much money. Now, their households would have to tighten their belts, while Zhang Gouzi’s wife was taken away by the police with no one speaking up for her.

After this incident, no one dared to pursue why Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi were here anymore, and the issue of the two beating up several of the Zhang Family members was also overlooked.
