Chapter 346: Chapter 347: Constable Hong Comes to Take Someone Away
"Aunt Caixia, you don’t have to be afraid of this old woman. Bring Sister Jinling home right now. What can she do to you? If she goes to your house and makes a scene, kick her out; if she scolds you, scold her back. This kind of wicked woman doesn’t deserve any respect."
Pausing for a moment, Yang Chuxia glanced at Yang Jinshui and continued, "If she really wants Uncle Jinshui to divorce you, don’t be afraid that you won’t survive. Bring Jinxiu and the others to me; I refuse to believe that you can’t live on."
"You, you..." Upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, as if to assertively back up her daughter-in-law, the old woman became furious, "Busybodies don’t die well."
"You and your son have separated, yet you still meddle in his affairs. Isn’t that meddling? Cursing your own granddaughter and not being struck down by lightning? What do I have to fear?" Yang Chuxia retorted sarcastically. "But since you say I’m meddling, I’ll meddle all the way. Aunt Caixia, go ahead and take her home without fear. Let her go and complain to the officials, accusing you of being disobedient and unfilial. I happen to know Constable Hong very well, and I’m not afraid of the County Magistrate either."
As they were talking about Constable Hong, he arrived with a group of people.
It turned out that on the way, the County Magistrate had sent other people to handle the situation. Constable Hong handed over the sacrificial people to them, who then took them back to the county office. Meanwhile, he brought his people to arrest the culprits tied up at Yang Chuxia’s house.
"Uncle Hong, your timing is perfect!" Yang Chuxia quickly spotted Constable Hong and went out to greet him.
"What’s going on here?" Constable Hong asked, looking at the old woman sitting in Yang Chuxia’s living room, her eyes filled with tears and snot.
A crowd of people had also gathered around.
Yang Chuxia whispered a few words to Constable Hong. Hearing the situation, he became displeased, "Nonsense, pure nonsense. What kind of logic is it that a child can’t return home even when they’ve arrived at the village? The outsiders haven’t said anything yet, but the relatives are the ones who have a problem with it."
After finishing his words, Constable Hong addressed Yang Jinshui and his wife, "I remember you two filing a case report. Now that your daughter has returned, take her home and don’t worry—I’ll support you."
"Ah, thank you, Constable Hong, thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinshui and his wife were overjoyed and quickly expressed their gratitude to Constable Hong. Of course, they didn’t forget Yang Chuxia either.
Yang Jinshui’s mother was dumbfounded – she couldn’t afford to offend the county official, a person who held real power. With this powerful support, how could she stop them now?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Seeing this, Yang Chuxia walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Are you very angry? It would be great if you died from anger. Let me tell you, my specialty is dealing with wicked mothers-in-law and grandmothers like you."
These words almost made Yang Jinshui’s mother pass out.
Finally, Yang Jinshui and his wife happily took Yang Jinling home with the triple guarantee from Constable Hong and the Yangs. As for the old woman left on the ground, no one cared, and it was Yang Chuxia who drove her away with a broom.
Following that, Constable Hong ordered his men to arrest and detain the thieves.
"Uncle Hong, one of them seems to have been shot in the chest by me. I don’t know if he’s dead or not."
Yang Chuxia pointed to the man with his eyes closed and informed Constable Hong.
"No matter, they’re all deserving of death. If he’s dead, then he’s dead. This isn’t the only culprit; we have others to interrogate," Constable Hong waved his hand, "I’ll take these people away first. If there’s anything else, I’ll let you know. But be cautious in the meantime. Even a dying insect can still bite, just in case."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Hong. I’ll be careful."
With that, Constable Hong left with his men.
