Chapter 104

What right did she have to divide the fruits of someone else's labor?

Just because she was old?

Officer Liu wouldn't deliberately abuse her, but he would strictly follow the procedures to let the Deaf Old Lady know that acting recklessly comes with a price.

She would not be exempt from punishment just because of her age.

A trace of malice flashed in the Deaf Old Lady's eyes, directed at the two officers, but even more so at Wan Ping'an. If Wan Ping'an hadn't called the police, would she have been arrested?

By the time they reached the police station, it was very late.

Officer Liu sent the Deaf Old Lady directly to the detention cell, following standard procedures; he had the authority to temporarily detain her to make her cooperate with the investigation.

Officer Liu left.

The Deaf Old Lady frowned; the smell in the detention cell was too pungent.

Even the women's detention cell was filled with various odors, mixed together, making it hard to distinguish whether it was sweat, body odor, or foot odor.

"Get up!"

"I'm so old, don't you know how to respect your elders?"

"I want to sleep on this bed!"

The Deaf Old Lady picked the bed she was most satisfied with.

There was someone on the bed.

She wasn't polite at all, and without caring that the person was already asleep, she went over and pushed the person's head.

"You damn old hag, are you looking to die?"

The woman who was pushed awake had pockmarks; she had been sleeping soundly when she was pushed awake, and she glared at the Deaf Old Lady with a face full of resentment.

"You little brat, don't you know how to respect your elders?"

"Why don't you get lost?"

Being called a damn old hag, the Deaf Old Lady also got angry.

She still thought she was in the Sihe Academy, where everyone let her have her way.

Bang!

The pockmarked woman laughed and kicked the Deaf Old Lady to the wall.

"You damn old hag, it's good enough that I didn't beat you up, and you dare to provoke me?"

"If it weren't for your age, I'd make you drink urine. Don't sleep tonight; kneel by the wall for me all night."

The pockmarked woman grabbed the Deaf Old Lady and threw her against the wall.

The others were also woken up and watched the show with smiles, none of them wanting to help the Deaf Old Lady.

"You..."

The Deaf Old Lady's anger grew even more.

Slap!

The pockmarked woman gave her a slap.

Immediately following was a storm of blows.

"Stop hitting me, I surrender, I'll listen to you, okay?"

The Deaf Old Lady was stunned by the beating.

Like Jia Zhang, she was essentially a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Outside the Sihe Academy, with no one to indulge her, she became sensible.

The Deaf Old Lady knelt facing the wall all night.

By the second half of the night.

She was truly sleepy and couldn't stay kneeling, so she lay at the base of the wall for the rest of the night.

When she got up in the morning, her waist was stiff!

She couldn't climb up for a long time!

"God-damned Wan Ping'an, he's the one who sent me in. When I get out, I'll definitely kill him!"

The Deaf Old Lady used all her strength to climb up.

But her waist wouldn't straighten.

She could only stay hunched over!

Hahaha!

The pockmarked woman and the others kept mocking her.

She didn't dare to retort a single word, fearing she would anger the pockmarked woman and get beaten again.

Near noon.

Yi Zhonghai came to visit the Deaf Old Lady.

"Zhonghai, you've finally come!"

As soon as the Deaf Old Lady saw Yi Zhonghai, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down.

"Old Lady, are, are you okay?"

Yi Zhonghai almost didn't recognize her.

Only one night had passed, and the Deaf Old Lady had changed so much.

Her haggard face made her look like she had aged ten years overnight, and her eyes had lost their luster.

"It's too miserable inside!"

"They wouldn't let me sleep and made me kneel against the wall all night."

"They also snatched my breakfast; it was just a bowl of thin porridge, and they drank it all. I didn't get a single sip."

"I also have to be responsible for cleaning and organizing the interior."

The Deaf Old Lady felt wronged.

"Old Lady, you've suffered!"

Yi Zhonghai broke into a cold sweat.

He secretly rejoiced that he had been rational enough to kowtow to Wan Ping'an and beg for forgiveness.

Otherwise.

He would have been arrested along with the Deaf Old Lady, and he wouldn't have been able to avoid what she went through!

"Zhonghai, I can't stay here for another minute."

"Think of a way, find someone to help me get out. If I stay for another two days, I'll be tortured to death by that pockmarked woman and the others."

The Deaf Old Lady cried and pleaded.

She regretted it deeply; if she hadn't snatched the pockmarked woman's bed, the woman wouldn't have targeted her, and she wouldn't have been so miserable.

In the end, she brought it on herself!

"Old Lady, don't worry, I will definitely find a way."

"Just stay inside with peace of mind for now!"

Yi Zhonghai comforted her.

"Peace of mind? How can I have peace of mind?"

The Deaf Old Lady was furious. Suffering and enduring hardship inside, how could she have peace of mind?

When Yi Zhonghai left, the Deaf Old Lady shouted at his back, telling him to find a way to rescue her as soon as possible!

On the way back to the Sihe Academy, Yi Zhonghai was very worried.

The Deaf Old Lady was very useful and had to be rescued, but how?

Just as he returned to the Sihe Academy, he ran into Wan Ping'an.

Seeing Wan Ping'an's beaming face, Yi Zhonghai felt his anger rise.

"Wan Ping'an, you sent the Deaf Old Lady to jail to suffer. Now that she's been arrested, are you satisfied?"

Yi Zhonghai blocked Wan Ping'an's path.

He thought of a way.

If he could get Wan Ping'an to withdraw the case and stop pursuing the Deaf Old Lady's responsibility, she could be released.

"She wouldn't let me farm and wanted to starve me to death. Being arrested is her just deserts!"

"Suffering inside is her own doing!"

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the path!"

Wan Ping'an walked straight forward, shoulder-checking Yi Zhonghai and knocking him aside.

Yi Zhonghai stumbled back three steps, his back hitting the door frame and his head knocking against it, leaving him seeing stars and feeling dizzy.
