Chapter 109: Keep Family Feuds Out of the Police Station

Xiao Jiliang pushed through the crowd, "How am I deceiving everyone? Haven't you been gone from home for six or seven days?"

"Aren't you the one making a scene with this man in public?"

"I'm telling you, we went to your parents' house looking for you, and even your parents didn't know where you were. And you tricked your parents into transferring your household registration out—where did you secretly move it to? You're quite the daughter from a respectable family, playing both sides!"

"What brother? Your own flesh and blood? I've never seen him. I ask everyone, have you ever seen a brother who doesn't attend his sister's wedding?"

"You're acting like hooligans, married but still causing trouble, abandoning the elderly and children at home, going out to fool around!"

Xiao Jiliang got angrier as she spoke, "They should be shot for ruining our social morals!"

"What has our family ever done to you? We spent over a thousand on betrothal gifts to marry you, and this is how you treat us? You've turned our home into chaos, and now you're publicly beating your mother-in-law. Our Zhao family must have done something awful in a past life to end up with a daughter-in-law like you in this life~"

"Everyone, please help us, don't let them get away. Everyone has a daughter-in-law—what would you do if the daughter-in-law you spent a fortune to marry also secretly moved her household registration away and disappeared?"

"This is a scam, a marriage scam. They took our betrothal gifts but refuse to live properly..."

Xiao Jiliang's eyes shone with malice. Last time, her daughter and son-in-law were beaten by the crowd on the street, and even the police couldn't do anything. It would be best if Su An and this so-called brother got a good beating, maybe even crippled!

Break a leg, see how she can still strut around then.

But Su An wasn't one to back down either. The fuel she added to the fire made it flare up, but the other side immediately countered with reasonable arguments, keeping the fire at a simmer.

The onlookers whispered, unsure who to believe, and finally concluded to take Su An and Su Ping to the police station.

The police took these matters much more seriously than family squabbles. If the two were guilty, it would be a blatant offense.

Su An and Su Ping were separated into two interrogation rooms for questioning.

"What's your name?"

Su An looked at the officer questioning her. Wasn't this Officer Zhao Gui, who had questioned her last time when she sent Zhao Daxing to the hospital with a hammer and was brought in by the compound's family members?

"Officer, didn't you already ask me last time?"

Zhao Gui cleared his throat, "Just answer the questions, don't worry about anything else."

"Oh, I'm Su An."

"Age."

"18."

"What's your relationship with the person who came with you just now?"

"Brother and sister, real siblings."

"What's his name?"

"Su Ping..."

"Xiao Jiliang, your mother-in-law, says you poisoned your husband. Is that true?"

Su An's face hardened, "Officer, this is slander, absolutely not!"

"Husband and wife are one; how could I hurt my own husband?"

"I've been away for a few days and don't know what's happening at home. Has something happened to my husband? Is he poisoned? Is it serious? Is his life in danger?"

"What kind of poison is it?"

"Your mother-in-law said..."

"Officer, it's a misunderstanding! That was just a health tonic! I saw that my husband was not well and wanted him to recover quickly, so I secretly gave him the tonic that my mother-in-law had hidden for health. You see, my husband is very filial; if I had told him, he might not have been willing to take it..."

Su Ping was also being sternly interrogated by a female officer.

Su An had her ID with her, but Su Ping didn't.

Finally, after comparing their statements and finding no issues, the female officer, out of caution, went with Su An and her brother to Fuqing Street to check their household registration and ID.

When the officers left Fuqing Street, they subtly advised Su An to avoid bringing family disputes to the police station.

They were really fed up with such matters, as many couples fight fiercely, wishing the other dead.

Yet, they often make up within days.

They prefer not to meddle, as couples might team up against them, accusing them of meddling.

If one party has other intentions and the other is unwilling, and both families come to the police station to make a scene, they might even accuse you of having ulterior motives, not wanting them to be happy.

So, how can outsiders get involved in such family matters?

Every family has its own issues; even if they support justice, they can't manage others' family affairs.

Dealing with unreasonable people, they might just end up with more trouble.

So, when they do encounter such situations, they advise making up rather than breaking up.

Because if you advise breaking up, once they calm down, they might think you're ruining their relationship, and if they do break up, the woman might blame you if her life doesn't go well, or the man might blame you if he can't find a wife.

If they face life's hardships and can't think straight, they might even seek revenge, endlessly. So why would they want to trouble themselves?

Su An honestly promised not to bring disputes to the police station again and subtly suggested that if her mother-in-law kept causing trouble, she hoped the officers would ignore her.

As long as they ignored her, she wouldn't go to the police station again.

By the time the officers left, it was already evening. Su An was worn out, and Su Ping was extremely nervous; it was his first time in a police station and being interrogated.

Su An held back her anger, comforted her brother, then went back to cook a meal to fill her stomach.

She went to bed at seven o'clock.

By ten at night, she woke up quietly, got on her bike, and headed to the Zhao family.

The sky was full of stars, the moon was bright, and although the sky was hazy, the road was visible.

The entire city of A was slowly falling asleep.

By eleven, when she reached the steel mill's residential area, not a single light was on in any household; everyone was asleep.

Su An parked her bike, walked up the stairs slowly, and looked at the Zhao family's door, which had been patched up many times.

She stepped back, bent slightly, gathered her strength, and charged—

With a loud bang, she kicked the door with all her might.

The nailed door frame once again detached from its hinges, swaying precariously in the air, twisting and turning.

Su An grabbed the half-hanging door frame and yanked it hard, causing a loud clang as the half-hanging wooden board on the wall crashed to the ground.

After this, the door frame would likely need to be rebuilt.

Inside the house, Zhao Daxing and Xiao Jiliang were simultaneously awakened by the noise.

Zhao Xiaoyu had already taken Wang Dabing, who had been discharged from the hospital, back to the town during the day. Now, the only adults at home were Zhao Daxing and his mother.

Zhao Daxing, groggy and annoyed, shouted, "Mom, what's going on? What's with all the racket in the middle of the night? Can't we get some sleep?"

The room's light was turned on, and Xiao Jiliang climbed out of bed, muttering curses.

"What's going on here? What's all the fuss about?"
