    Chapter 167 Fierce - The Daily Drama of the Frail Aunt in the Courtyard

    Cen Xi and Lin Qing were completely stunned; everything happened so fast!

    They never expected these people to be so brazen, even with the police present, showing no restraint at all!

    Lin Qing shivered as she watched Qin Xianglian's ferocious fighting, "How brutal!"

    Looking at the fighters and the police trying to break it up, then turned to Su Dazhuang, who was knocked down and howling in pain, she didn't know what to say!

    "Is Qin Xianglian standing up for her son? But why did she leave her son, who was in so much pain, behind?"

    Hearing Lin Qing's words, Cen Xi also fell into a rare silence, but soon they understood why!

    Mother Su had somehow bypassed the fighting crowd and made her way step by step to her grandson.

    Cen Xi and Lin Qing were also taken aback, not expecting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to coordinate so well at this moment!

    With the police present, even Mother Li, the neighborhood manager, didn't interfere in their dispute, just like the other neighbors, sitting back and enjoying the spectacle.

    There was even Mother Jiang, who was gleefully watching, hoping that Qin Xianglian and Mother Gu would end up in a draw.

    Qin Xianglian, after all, was a fitter, with strong hands, fiercely scratching at Mother Gu, even the police trying to separate them got accidentally scratched a few times.

    Finally, the police managed to separate the two.

    This time, they were experienced, directly isolating the two families involved, giving them no chance to come into contact again.

    The Police Captain wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead; he never expected women to fight so fiercely, even several big men couldn't pull them apart.

    "Alright, alright, both of you calm down!"

    "Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!" Mother Gu shouted, feeling the stinging pain on her face.

    Facing her glare, Qin Xianglian didn't back down, snorting coldly in return!

    "Calm down!" the Police Captain roared.

    The two were startled by the shout, suddenly remembering there were a dozen or so police officers in the courtyard!

    The scene quieted down instantly, even Su Dazhuang, who had been howling, stopped.

    Lin Qing cheered in her heart: Bravo, police officers!!!

    The Police Captain straightened out the information reported by his subordinates and said, "Now things are very clear! Su Dazhuang stole from the Gu family this afternoon, almost got caught, then ran away, didn't dare to come back, so he hid outside, and finally, you neighbors went out to look for him."

    "Alright, now he's been found, the theft case from this afternoon is solved! The parties involved are here, the stolen goods are here, Gu family, check if anything is missing?"

    Mother Gu snatched the bag from the police, rummaged through it, and exclaimed, "Missing, missing, half of the peach crisps are gone!"

    After the police finished explaining the whole incident, Mother Su and Qin Xianglian's faces turned pale, they knew they had no ground to stand on, and could only endure as Mother Gu triumphantly checked.

    "Alright, half of the peach crisps are missing, the Su family is responsible for compensation."

    "No, that's not enough, this brat messed up my house, it can't just end like this!" Mother Gu insisted.

    Mother Su reacted extremely quickly, Lin Qing and Cen Xi witnessed the entire process of Mother Su's expression change.

    "Mother Gu, I'm really sorry, it's my boy who doesn't understand things!"

    "You know your son’s out of line, right?"

    "Well..."

    "Sure, it’s his fault, but he’s already paid the price, so it’s even!"

    "..."

    Is this some messed-up logic?

    Lin Qing’s lips twitched in disbelief. Mother Su’s logic was all over the place. How does that even make sense?

    Is that really how it works?

    Lin Qing glanced at Cen Xi, who looked just as stunned.

    But Mother Gu wasn’t having it. "He got what was coming to him. If he hadn’t been stealing, he wouldn’t have tripped running from my son."

    Qin Xianglian, though, saw an opening. "You’re the reason my son got hurt, and I should be the one demanding compensation!"

    The neighbors and cops watching the scene were stunned into silence.

    What’s with these two and their crazy logic?

    "Pah! You’ve got some nerve! Your thief of a son deserves worse!"

    "How dare you wish harm on my boy!"

    Qin Xianglian and Mother Gu went at it again, with the cops barely keeping them apart.

    Mother Su’s pleading look turned into a venomous glare.

    Lin Qing thought, ‘Her mood swings are next-level!’

    She’s flipping moods every three minutes—no joke!

    Mother Li, watching from the sidelines, felt oddly relieved. She was glad Cen Xi had called the cops—otherwise, she’d be stuck in the middle of this mess.

    Mother Li patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief.

    Finally, the Police Captain had enough and stepped in to shut it down. He wasn’t about to waste more time on their nonsense.

    In the end, no one was happy except the cops.

    The Su family coughed up 5 yuan to cover the Gu family’s losses. Mother Gu thought it was peanuts, but Mother Su and Qin Xianglian were devastated over the 5 yuan.

    Lin Qing and Cen Xi talked about this topic again before going to bed.

    "Qing Qing, my dear, you should stay away from the women in our compound in the future, especially those few!" The ones in the backyard were manageable, as there hadn’t been any conflicts yet, and they seemed easier to get along with.

    But the ones in the front yard, every single one of them, were not easy to get along with, so it's better to stay away!

    When will the machinery factory build another residential building?

    Although they had just moved in, Cen Xi was already thinking about moving out.

    Now he only hoped that the factory's performance would improve so they could build new residential buildings sooner.

    "For the factory to do well, we need good products, and that depends on you engineers doing good research!" Lin Qing had already looked through the account books for the past few years. The factory's main source of income was its products. They urgently needed a competitive product to expand the factory's influence.

    "Alright!" Lin Qing’s words sparked something in Cen Xi.
