Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Wenhua People Have Eight Hundred Hearts
"Even if you don’t call your parents, didn’t you say you were married? Bring your husband here," Yuan Erhua felt confident that she had Tong Yao under control and insisted on getting Tong Yao’s parents involved.
On this matter, the policewoman sided more with Yuan Erhua’s argument. After all, Tong Yao was the one who called the police and the one at a disadvantage. She was young and unable to make decisions, so it seemed more appropriate to have her parents involved.
Tong Yao was frustrated and had no choice but to tell the truth, "He’s a hospital doctor and might be performing surgery right now. He doesn’t have time to come here!"
Not only had she gotten into another fight just days after being quiet, but this time it’s with a woman even bigger than Chen Yanmei. If Si Chen knew, he would certainly lecture her. Plus, Si Chen still didn’t know about the shop. The combination of these two things would shock anyone!
In Si Chen’s eyes, she must just be a troublemaker who never learns.
"Which hospital’s doctor?" Yuan Erhua didn’t believe her and scrutinized Tong Yao, "If your man is really a doctor, why would he let you openly sell milk tea on the streets? Isn’t he embarrassed?"
Tong Yao stared at her, "I earn money through my own abilities in conducting a business, it’s none of your business."
"Officer, did you hear that, she’s swearing at me," Yuan Erhua took a minor issue and blew it out of proportion, starting to complain.
Tong Yao retorted, "What you said earlier was much worse than me. If your ancestors heard it, they would leap out of their graves."
As the two were about to start arguing again, the policewoman quickly intervened, "Stop arguing. This is a police station, not a place for street fights. Don’t obstruct the police’s work."
Upon hearing this, both Tong Yao and Yuan Erhua closed their mouths. They had to show some respect for the police.
The policewoman then turned to Tong Yao, "Young lady, which hospital is your husband a doctor at?"
"The First People’s Hospital," Tong Yao answered truthfully.
"What’s his name?"
"Si Chen." 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Seeing that Tong Yao confidently and directly responded, Yuan Erhua hesitated, could it be that Tong Yao’s man was really a doctor?
But it’s not right, doctors are educated people, how could they marry a minor? She heard that marrying a minor is illegal. But what if Tong Yao was already an adult?
An educated person has many strategies. They are formidable opponents.
After much thought, Yuan Erhua decided to call her husband for backup and started making a fuss about using the phone again.
As time passed and the sky began to darken, Tong Yao never expected that the police station would directly call the hospital and bring Si Chen here, Yuan Erhua also brought Wang Fugui.
When he received the call, Si Chen thought something had happened to Tong Yao. Only when he arrived at the police station did he understand the situation. Although he was somewhat surprised, he didn’t show any emotion. His lips were pursed in an obvious display of displeasure. Since he arrived, Tong Yao had been keeping her head down like a misbehaving child, daring not to look up at Si Chen.
It was so embarrassing, extremely embarrassing.
She had just gotten into a fight a few days ago and was fighting again now. She had had her hair pulled into a mess and was probably the only one in the family community like this. Tong Yao reckoned that Si Chen must be dying to beat her up. Even if Si Chen proposed a divorce now, she would understand.
After all, dealing with her troubles every day after his busy work must have made Si Chen upset.
From the moment Si Chen arrived at the hospital, Yuan Erhua behaved extremely well. After all, it’s not a good idea to offend a hospital doctor. They might need medical services anytime in the future, and Si Chen was an educated person who understood the law.
Especially when the police officers were siding with Tong Yao, and the fact that they had mobilized several men was also found out. The situation could be minor or serious. According to the police officer’s suggestion, if Tong Yao did not drop the charge, it was likely that Yuan Erhua and her husband may have to end up in jail. It was not something that could be solved with money anymore.
Most importantly, if Yuan Erhua and her husband went to jail, their descendants and grandchildren would be disqualified from any government job and couldn’t serve in the military or police. Once the severity of the situation became clear, Yuan Erhua and her husband acted like fish out of water, unable to move at all.
Without a choice, the elderly couple had to put on a smile and request Tong Yao to drop the case.
Seeing the huge difference in Yuan Erhua’s behavior before and after, Tong Yao couldn’t help but wonder what was so scary about Si Chen that he could frighten them like this.
She knew that this couple was nothing but sheep in wolf’s clothing. If she agreed now, she was sure that they would return to their old ways once they left the police station. Therefore, she pretended to consider it, scaring Yuan Erhua into pleading desperately. Seeing that Tong Yao was not giving in, Wang Fugui put all the blame on his wife.
"What did you go picking a fight with a young girl selling milk tea for? You are ruining our Wang Family’s reputation that we have maintained for generations. Pack up your stuff and go back to your parents’ home tomorrow. You’ve caused so much trouble, deal with it yourself! I’m not going to care about it anymore. I will call your parents tonight and ask them to pick you up. If this matter is not resolved, don’t ever step into the Wang Family’s doorstep."
Tong Yao sneered. She thought they wanted to go back. If she didn’t drop the charges, they both would be waiting to eat prison food!
Even so, Tong Yao didn’t really plan to have them sent to jail. If the matter became too big, it wouldn’t do her any good. Wang Fugui was related to the school principal. The chances of the principal not siding with them were slim. If the principal became furious, they could easily find an excuse to dissuade students from buying milk tea at her shop.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Erhua began to cry out of grief, pleading tearfully, "Please pity me, young lady! I’m old now, divorce is practically pushing me to death. It’s my fault today. In the future, you can sell whatever you want at the school gate. I promise I won’t interfere. If I dare to scold you again, may my family be doomed. I beg you! If I divorce at this age, I will be the laughingstock of everyone! How can I live with the humiliation?"
Being disturbed by the crying and noise made by the old couple, the policewoman reminded them, "That’s enough, this is the police station, not the Civil Affairs Bureau. We don’t handle divorces."
After saying that, she looked at Tong Yao and Si Chen and asked, "How do you want to handle this matter? Are you willing to reconcile?"
Ever since Si Chen’s arrival, Tong Yao, who had been keeping her head down like a little white rabbit, instantly brightened up as if injected with chicken blood, "We can consider reconciliation, but they have to write a pledge to ensure they will not interfere with my business in the future. Today they dumped a bucket of water and disrupted my business. I don’t want compensation. They just need to deliver three buckets of water to me every day for the next week."
As soon as her words fell, she detected the gaze thrown over by Si Chen. Tong Yao felt nervous and quickly lowered her head again, staring at her toes without moving.
Hearing this, Yuan Erhua suddenly became reasonable and nodded frantically, "Write it, we will write it immediately. As for the water, we will deliver it. Not just three buckets, even thirty buckets are fine."
Although they were very cooperative, Yuan Erhua and her husband were illiterate. In the end, Tong Yao wrote the guarantee letter and they pressed their fingerprints on it.
