Chapter 807: Chapter 808: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 56
Lady Jia Zhang listened to the young police officer rattling off and realized that she could very likely be sentenced to fifteen or sixteen years, and that was just the starting point; it could be even longer.
“I, I…” Before, just the possibility of Jia Dongxu facing three to five years was too much for her to handle, and now she was looking at a starting point of fifteen or sixteen years.
Lady Jia Zhang was completely flustered, “How can it be so severe?”
“It was Sha Zhu who seduced my daughter-in-law. They sneaked out in the middle of the night to fool around, and I just couldn’t stand it.”
“I know I was wrong, I had no other choice,” Lady Jia Zhang admitted she was wrong for beating Sha Zhu but insisted Sha Zhu was having an affair with Qin Huairu.
“What you say doesn’t count; we need evidence,” the young police officer said impatiently.
Evidence? Lady Jia Zhang had none; otherwise, she would have already stord the office to make a scene.
The young police officer, looking at Lady Jia Zhang’s pitiful appearance, said, “Think hard about it.”
Looking at the deanor of this old woman, brazen and uncooperative, really managed to rile up the young man.
Humph, having co this far, does she still think soone will co to her rescue?
Lady Jia Zhang now had only one thought, that once Yi Zhonghai found out about her arrest, he would surely figure out a way to help her.
If that old man refuses to help, then she won’t hold back from being unpleasant.
Lady Jia Zhang reiterated that it was Sha Zhu seducing Qin Huairu that provoked her into action.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew this was a police station, she would unleash the summoning spirits technique again; she knew from experience in the courtyard that such tactics would not end well, not to ntion in a police station.
The police at the hospital were waiting for Sha Zhu to wake up to continue their investigation, while the officers who went to learn about the situation in the courtyard were left speechless.
“Why did you beat Sha Zhu and not file a police report?” the middle-aged officer asked Xu Damao, baffled why, after several beatings that left soone unable to get up and in pain, he never called the police.
Xu Damao felt he had suffered a great loss, “I didn’t know, that First Elder, oh, that’s Yi Zhonghai, always took sides.”
“Every ti Sha Zhu beat , he’d just compensate a liang or two, and I had to pay for my own dical expenses.”
Xu Damao was angered just thinking about it, “So he deserved it, now he’s got a taste of his own dicine.”
For the first ti, Xu Damao found himself seeing Lady Jia Zhang in a sowhat favorable light. If it weren’t for her, Sha Zhu wouldn’t have ended up a eunuch.
Initially, the middle-aged officer felt more pity for Sha Zhu, since he was a young man who hadn’t gotten married yet and was now castrated, his life seemingly ruined.
But after the investigation, it was unclear what to say – it turned out that Sha Zhu himself had been so cruel, and this was retribution.
However, these thoughts rely flashed through the mind of the middle-aged officer and weren’t voiced out loud.
The other officers, after their inquiries, were also shocked. They initially thought Lady Jia Zhang was bullying an innocent young man, but it turned out to be a power struggle between two bullies.
Poor Sha Zhu, still in the operating room, unknowingly had soone file a report on his behalf, sparing him the worry of whether or not to report it. Even less did he know that in the eyes of everyone at the police station, his na was synonymous with a bully.
Zhang Yu, having completed the inquiry, shut the Moon Gate and the door to the house, preparing to rest. He still had to go to work the next day and needed to rest well.
The next day, the news of Sha Zhu becoming a eunuch spread as neighbors went to work, reaching not only the people at the steel mill but also the surrounding factories, from top to bottom.
If Sha Zhu beca famous, it was due to his cooking skills; now he’s famous, but it’s because of a physical limitation.
When Zhang Yu entered the office, he was, of course, inevitably bombarded with a series of questions from everyone.
“Has he really beco a eunuch?” At that mont, both n and won couldn’t help but repeatedly confirm with Zhang Yu.
No matter when, the level of interest in certain areas isn’t a small proportion.
“Whether he’s really beco a eunuch, I don’t know.”
“I didn’t go to the hospital. I just heard from colleagues who took Sha Zhu to the hospital that he has beco a eunuch.”
“My neighbor went to see a friend, right near Little Yu’s place, and saw the people from their courtyard taking Sha Zhu to the hospital, saying he was bleeding down there.”
“One of my neighbors works at the hospital. This morning, she said that they admitted a eunuch yesterday; it wasn’t Sha Zhu, was it?”
“Guess it was; otherwise, what a coincidence that would be.”
Everyone acknowledges Sha Zhu’s culinary skills are decent, his cauldron dishes are tasty, but this kid is cunning and often showed off.
These office workers have often been subjected to his showing off. It was only when Zhang Yu arrived and made a big fuss that Sha Zhu was put in an awkward position.
Now knowing he’s beco a eunuch, they don’t say it out loud, but inside they all feel this is the result of his lack of virtue.
“I heard that the person who hit him was the Jia Family’s old lady, Lady Jia Zhang,” a middle-aged man asked.
Zhang Yu nodded, “That’s right, it was her. Do you know her?” Lady Jia Zhang had never worked in her life and never ca to the steel factory; how could he rember her na.
“No way, she really can make a fuss. The trouble her husband, Old Jia, caused in the factory back then, she made all kinds of scenes over it.”
Even after so much ti has passed, the recollection still sends shivers down their spines.
Hearing the descriptions of Lady Jia Zhang, everyone gasped, “She really is ruthless.”
“No wonder she could raise a son who snatches houses and commits burglary at night.” This also explains why she has such a son; if the beam above is crooked, the beam below will be skewed as well.
“Nowadays, we really have information coming from all directions, feels like there’s sothing new every day at work.”
“Exactly.” There used to be fresh incidents in the past as well, but none could compare with those that happen in Zhang Yu’s courtyard; they are completely different.
If the workers below feel that this matter is rely peculiar and intriguing, the leaders are now all kinds of upset.
With such a big incident, the police station and the neighborhood committee, of course, have to give the factory a heads-up.
About Sha Zhu becoming a eunuch, they just slightly lant Lady Jia Zhang’s cruelty.
What’s making them feel terrible now is that Lady Jia Zhang ultimately couldn’t hold back and said a lot, like why she found Sha Zhu displeasing.
It also exposed that Sha Zhu has been bringing als to the Jia Family over the years, including white flour buns, at dishes, and even whole chicken legs.
All of them are leaders, and right now with poor harvests, there are fewer banquets in the small canteen; otherwise, there would be several a month at least.
So, Sha Zhu was not taking their leftover food ho but rather was having these leaders eat his leftover food, which they couldn’t tolerate.
Not to ntion, what was originally an internal factory matter, now many outside already know. Once it reaches the leaders’ ears, what will they think?
