Chapter 575 - 570: Reporting to the Police
CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 570: REPORTING TO THE POLICE
"Fine, I’ll call my older sister right now, let’s see what Luo Zhiyong has to say." Fang Xiu, now reminded of Luo Zhiyong, was also getting agitated and shouted, "If Luo Zhiyong dares to side with his mom, I’m going to fight him."
Having said that, Fang Xiu hurried to call Fang Pingying.
Zhou Guangsheng saw that the two elderly people and Haohao were still with them, so he instructed Granny Zhou and the two of them, "Mom, Auntie, you guys go back with Haohao first, we will be back soon."
"Keep an eye on Xiu’er, don’t let her act impulsively and start shouting about fighting and killing." Li Yuchun was also annoyed with Zhou Yunmei, but she felt that Fang Xiu was being too impulsive and it could lead to trouble. She said to Zhou Guangsheng, "Actually, I already gave Zhou Yunmei a harsh lesson just now, she didn’t get any advantage."
Zhou Guangsheng nodded, "Auntie, I know, you guys go ahead and head back."
Seeing that Zhou Guangsheng was there, Li Yuchun felt reassured and left with Granny Zhou, taking Haohao back with them.
As soon as Fang Xiu and the others left the hospital, they found a payphone and dialed Fang Pingying’s mobile phone.
On the other end, Fang Pingying and a group of people were still in the car, not yet at Chen Jie’s house. Fang Pingying was sleeping drowsily when Luo Zhiyong woke her up, "Pingying, your mobile is ringing, could it be Juzi and the others urgently needing you?"
Fang Pingying also thought it could be something to do with the supermarket or the land purchase since both of the little kids were out today, and the shop was closed for the day, so nothing special should be happening at home.
She nodded, immediately took the phone from her bag to listen.
As soon as she picked up the phone, Fang Pingying heard Fang Xiu’s shouting from the other end, "Big sister, big sister."
Fang Xiu’s hurried shouting made Fang Pingying’s brows twitch, she immediately asked, "Xiu’er, what happened, is there trouble at home?"
Fang Xiu said, "Haohao got hurt, we just came out of the hospital."
"How did Haohao get hurt, wasn’t mom watching him?" Hearing that Haohao was injured, Fang Pingying also became extremely anxious.
Though Haohao wasn’t her child, the three kids spent every day together, staying at her house. Fang Pingying, no matter what she did, always treated them equally, whatever Yaoyao and the others had, Haohao never missed out on.
Plus, Haohao was also very endearing, and compared to Yaoyao and Ruirui, Fang Pingying loved Haohao just the same.
Fang Xiu recounted the incident of Zhou Yunmei causing trouble at their home today, and after finishing, she gritted her teeth and told Fang Pingying, "Big sister, I absolutely won’t let Zhou Yunmei off this time. When I find her, I will beat her to death, just inform Luo Zhiyong and the others, don’t say I didn’t notify you when the time comes."
Hearing that it was Zhou Yunmei causing trouble again, Fang Pingying’s anger also surged up instantly. This time, not just Fang Xiu wouldn’t let her off easily, she also wouldn’t let Zhou Yunmei off as she used to.
However, hearing Fang Xiu’s extremely hasty voice, but continuously not mentioning any solution, all thunder and no rain, Fang Pingying interrupted her to ask, "Then first tell me, what do you plan to do?"
"I..." Fang Xiu clearly hadn’t thought it through, being asked in such a way by Fang Pingying, she choked up, repeating only, "I will definitely not let her off."
Fang Pingying knew that according to Fang Xiu’s manner, at most she would run to the train station, have a scene with Zhou Yunmei, and then both would go their separate ways damaged.
Or, there might not be any real harm at all, just a shouting match at the train station for others to watch a heated scene, and then it would end without another word.
This approach is completely useless against Zhou Yunmei; they didn’t even know how many times they had conflict with Zhou Yunmei, even Luo Zhiyong lost count of the times they had confronted her, but they couldn’t intimidate Zhou Yunmei at all.
On the contrary, Zhou Yunmei became more courageous the more they opposed her, thinking they were merely playing these petty tricks, which she didn’t take seriously at all.
Fang Pingying stayed silent for a while, then straightforwardly instructed Fang Xiu, "Just go and report it to the police."
"Report to the police?" Fang Xiu hesitated upon hearing about reporting to the police, "Would the police handle it?"
As soon as Fang Pingying heard Fang Xiu switch from being aggressive to being hesitant about reporting it to the police, she spoke with a heavier tone, "Just say she intentionally injured someone, isn’t Haohao’s injury evident?"
"Can this charge hold?" Fang Xiu was still hesitant.
Fang Pingying, frustrated and grinding her teeth, replied resignedly, "Just go and file the report, whether the charges stick is the police’s job. Our goal is to teach her a lesson."
"If it causes a stir at the Police Station, then what about my brother-in-law..." Fang Xiu said, then suddenly stopped, still feeling that reporting to the police was making too much of a fuss, and she was worried it would make things difficult for both Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong.
"Never mind about the brother-in-law, if she can be so malicious towards a child, she is beyond redemption," Fang Pingying’s tone became more serious as she instructed Fang Xiu, "Just do as I said, claim she intentionally injured someone, and let the Police Station decide the rest."
Fang Pingying knew that Haohao’s injuries weren’t very severe, and if it went to the Police Station, Zhou Yunmei would definitely argue that it wasn’t intentional, and the Police Station wouldn’t be able to press charges for intentional injury. At most, she might be detained for a few days for a moral lesson.
However, that would be enough, as Fang Pingying’s original intent was just to frighten Zhou Yunmei and let her know that Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong were now divorced, and her family was no longer at the mercy of Zhou Yunmei. If she dared to cause trouble at their home again, the Police Station would be waiting for her.
Since Fang Pingying had said so, Fang Xiu ended the call.
Zhou Guangsheng also overheard the conversation between the two sisters, but he did not expect Fang Pingying to be so direct this time, actually instructing Fang Xiu to go to the police.
Worried that he might have misunderstood, he asked again, "What did the elder sister say?"
Fang Xiu was still hesitant, uncertainly telling Zhou Guangsheng, "Elder sister told us to report it to the police, just say Zhou Yunmei intentionally injured someone, and Haohao’s injuries are evident anyway. Whether charges stick is up to the Police Station."
Zhou Guangsheng thought about it and quickly understood Fang Pingying’s intention, saying, "Don’t worry, it seems elder sister just wants to scare Zhou Yunmei."
"Is it just to scare her?" Fang Xiu asked Zhou Guangsheng uncertainly.
For Fang Xiu, although she had been living in the city for a long time, she still kept her distance from places like the Police Station, always feeling that going there meant something serious and might involve jail time.
Although she also despised Zhou Yunmei, if it came to actually getting Zhou Yunmei imprisoned for this matter, Fang Xiu couldn’t bear it. Hearing Zhou Guangsheng say it was just to scare, she felt relieved.
Zhou Guangsheng smiled at her, "Actually, it’s good too. Let Zhou Yunmei stay a couple of days at the Police Station. It will vent your anger and boost elder sister’s authority. Hopefully, Zhou Yunmei wouldn’t dare to come to our house for no reason in the future."
Hearing this, Fang Xiu immediately replied, "Since you also think it’s good, let’s report to the Police Station."
Zhou Guangsheng nodded, and the two went to the nearest Police Station to file a report.
