Chapter 92: The Fifth Watch
Translator: 549690339
Second Maternal Aunt couldn’t argue with Xiao Qian, so she yelled, “Is there anyone at home who can breathe? Hurry up and come out! This stupid girl raised by the old nag has brought a useless kid to make trouble at my door! Hey, brother-in-law, come out right now!”
Jia Xiufang pulled Xiao Qian’s sleeve, “You go first, don’t scare your Grandma.”
Jia Xiufang let her go, Xiao Qian walked out and encountered her bare-chested second uncle.
Behind her, Second Maternal Aunt’s arrogant laughter continued.
“See? What’s the use of raising a girl? She only knows how to run away. In the future, she’ll belong to someone else. What does she have to do with you, Jia Xiufang? Hahaha, little girl, when I was making a name for myself in this area, you were just a yellow-haired baby sucking milk. You can’t fight me!”
Xiao Qian didn’t care to listen to anything else, she dashed into her second uncle’s house.
Her second uncle’s family was in the back; the two children were upstairs and didn’t get involved in this kind of stuff. The room was empty, with a phone in the most obvious place.
Xiao Qian picked up the phone and elegantly dialed three numbers.
“Hello, this is Baitaling Village x Street x Number. There’s someone here abusing an elderly person. Please send the police immediately. Thank you. I’ll be waiting at the door to greet your officers.”
After the call, Xiao Qian walked out. The Urban Village’s security wasn’t good, so there was a police station nearby; the police could arrive in just a few minutes.
After waiting a little less than 5 minutes, two men in uniform came over, and Xiao Qian waved to them.
“Who made the call?”
“It was me. The situation here is that my uncle’s family is abusing an elderly person. Now the old lady is injured. You can see it when you go inside.”
“Do you need us to provide any assistance? In such family disputes, if the elderly person does not suffer a severe disability, we can only verbally criticize and educate your uncle.”
“I need to take the elder to the hospital for treatment. I’m afraid my uncle won’t let us take the elder away, so I ask you for help.”
Xiao Qian spoke clearly and logically, causing people to take a few more glances at her; such a young girl but so organized.
Xiao Qian followed them in with a cold smile in her heart.
These two people would be her witnesses. As long as they responded to the call, they would record today’s events. Later, when Xiao Qian had to fight a lawsuit against her second uncle’s family, what would this be called?
Evidence!
Second Maternal Aunt and Second Uncle were teaming up against Jia Xiufang, their voices loud enough to bring down the roof.
“Weren’t you willing to pretend to be filial? Take this old hag away right now and don’t bring her back!”
“Didn’t we agree that you would keep her for 20 days and us for 10?” Jia Xiufang, angered to tears, said while wiping her tears.
Other women had a man involved in their quarrels, but she was alone, and her daughter wasn’t helping her either…
“Oh, who said 20 days? Is it written on the paper? This old lady is causing trouble in my house, our place is too small to accommodate her. If you don’t take her away, I’ll take her out to the streets and let the neighbors see. This old lady in her pants, her daughter doesn’t even wash her underwear, let people laugh at you to death!”
“You!”
Jia Xiufang was so angry that she couldn’t speak, stuttering and losing sight of the main point again.
“Old lady stays at my house for 10 days, you guys are holding on to the money. When she comes to my house for her IV, it’s my money. The old lady likes to eat fruits, why don’t you buy them for her? When has she ever been without fruit in my house? Fruits aren’t expensive, peaches are one dollar and five cents per jin now, why don’t you buy some for the old lady…”
Xiao Qian came in with the officers and heard her mom’s argument straying off topic, she wanted to roll her eyes again.
“Don’t use double standards to measure my mom. According to folk customs, a daughter goes back to wash clothes because she doesn’t have to bear the obligation of support. According to the law, both sons and daughters have inheritance rights and support obligations. Second Maternal Aunt, you’ve made great calculations. When it comes to inheritance, you follow the law, but when it comes to behavior constraints, you follow folk customs. What benefits are all for your family? What place does the law have?”
“Haha, the useless kid is back again. Let me tell you, the law is crap, I am the law!”
“Lady, watch your words.” As the two officers appeared, Second Maternal Aunt was stunned, her feigned mouth frozen like a still frame, quite comical.
Unexpectedly, this useless kid actually dared to call the police!
Jia Xiufang was also startled when she saw her daughter leading the officers in, feeling like her breath couldn’t catch up.
“Comrades, why are you here? Nobody is doing anything wrong in our house!” Second Uncle immediately came forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket and tried to give it to them, but was righteously refused.
“We received a report that someone here was abusing an elderly person. We came to take a look. Is this the old lady?”
They pointed at the old lady, and the teary-eyed Grandma saw the officers in uniform and was so frightened that she shook her head, “Nobody bullied me, nobody bullied me…”
Even now, she was still siding with her son.
Even if her son let the elderly person down again and again, he was still her own flesh and blood.
“Comrades, look at my Grandma’s head injury and the bruises on her body, and her pants—” Xiao Qian pointed at the dirty pants that the elder hadn’t changed yet. From the seeping stains, anyone could tell what was inside.
The officers frowned as Second Maternal Aunt hurriedly tried to make small talk.
“We were about to change them, weren’t we? This silly girl, reporting the situation to the police. Hurry and lead them to the front, have some water and take a break!”
“Please take pictures of the current condition of the elder’s injuries. I want to take the elder to the hospital for a disability assessment.” Xiao Qian was the only person in the room who could remain calm.
Jia Xiufang was so scared, she kept pulling at Xiao Qian’s arm. Don’t make a scene, what are you doing!
“Mom, don’t worry about me. This matter involves my Grandma’s personal safety. As her daughter, ignoring their evil deeds is the biggest harm to the elder. Please witness this moment. Now, I’m going to take the elder to the hospital, and I ask you to give these people who abuse the elderly some ideological work.”
The two officers glanced at each other and said to Xiao Qian, “We need to listen to the elder’s statement first.”
In such family conflicts, they still had to hear what the parties involved had to say.
Xiao Qian, of course, knew this process well. She had not studied so many years for nothing.
“My Grandma is injured now and her speech is incoherent. Please let us take her to the hospital first. After you’ve finished educating the unfilial children, you can come to the hospital to record my Grandma’s statement.”
“Chen Xiao Qian, you this xx!” Second Uncle started swearing.
It seemed like he wanted to come over and pull Xiao Qian, but the officer stopped him at once.
“Comrade, watch your behavior!”
With the people’s protectors here, they still dared to hit people? Too arrogant!
As they took the elder away, Jia Xiufang felt her heart pounding, as if her daughter was about to poke a hole in the sky. For some reason, she felt that looking at Xiao Qian’s confident face, it seemed like her daughter was plotting something.
Jia Xiufang guessed right. In Xiao Qian’s heart, there was already a swift plan to help her mother win the property dispute. In addition to that two-story building, Jia Xiufang’s personal assets would have another share soon..
