Chapter 43 - She made the situation worse! (4)
Su Yu had been fed an over-the-counter medicine and was finally waking up. Seeing the female public security officer, she immediately grabbed her hand and cried. "Please save me -"
The public security officer rushed to comfort her. "Don't worry, we definitely won't ignore this matter. I came here to get an understanding of what happened. Tell me what happened so that I can help you."
Su Yu wiped her face. "It's a long story…"
As a law-abiding citizen, Su Yu told the public security officer her family's situation from beginning to end. She had raised her younger siblings before she was an adult herself. It hadn't been easy for her to marry her brother a wife. As a result, that newly married woman was malicious and caused trouble. Their family almost ended up sleeping on the streets. The newly married wife had a falling out with them and went back to her parents' home. Her maiden family repeatedly came over to cause trouble the past few days. As soon as she left work, she was attacked by her brother's mother-in-law.
"They see that I don't have parents and know that I'm easy to bully. Sniffle. It's a new society now. How can such a terrible thing like a violent crime still be committed in the middle of the street?"
"There are laws against this. Don't worry!" The public security officer comforted her. There was indignation in her eyes. She was furious about what happened to Su Yu.
Right after the public security had left, Su Xiaozhi and Su Dazhi ran in. Seeing that Su Yu was lying on a hospital bed, they were very anxious.
Su Xiaozhi anxiously asked, "Sis, what happened? Did someone hit you?"
Looking weak, Su Yu coughed and said, "It's okay. It's just that Dazhi's mother-in-law came. She came to trouble Dazhi. She said that she was going to make Dazhi lose his job. I only said a few words to try to persuade her, and she chased after me."
Su Dazhi was stunned.
Su Xiaozhi's eyes reddened. He turned and grabbed Su Dazhi. "It's your fault!"
Su Yu hastily said, "Xiaozhi, forget it. The doctor said I'm fine. It's just that my body has gotten weaker."
"Sis, let's go to the public security station." Su Xiaozhi hadn't forgotten about the great public security.
"They already came. Don't worry. They'll uphold justice for us," Su Yu said as she laid back on the hospital bed. "Go home to eat and visit me later. I guess that I won't be able to leave here until tomorrow. The Liu family has to reimburse my hospitalization fees."
The Liu family had already heard about what happened to Old Lady Liu. Public security had called their factories and reported that their mother had beaten someone, and the victim was in a hospital. This wasn't a small matter.
They hurried to the hospital.
The public security officer had returned and said, "The injured person is the priority. Fortunately, the aggressor was stopped by others and didn't cause serious harm. However, the victim in poor health to begin with. She was frightened and physically exhausted from running. She's very weak now. Her family condition isn't good either. Go take a look for yourselves. I'm warning you guys, if anyone is violent, we'll be bringing you down to the station to talk."
The Liu family quickly nodded and went to see Su Yu in the hospital room.
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law looked at Su Yu flatteringly. "How about you let this matter go? My mom is getting up there in age. Her health isn't good either."
Sitting in the bed, Su Yu coughed. "I don't have the energy to talk to you. I'm so weak. I'm about to faint from hunger…"
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law told Liu Mei's second sister-in-law, "Go buy congee."
"There's congee at my home too," Su Yu said, "Go buy dumplings. Red braised pork will also do."
Liu Mei's second sister-in-law gritted her teeth and ran off. What did that old lady meddle? She made the situation worse!
