Zhou and Ji Xingchuan, mother and son, tied up the two people on the ground with ropes, stuffed sackcloth in their mouths, threw them in the yard, and went to sleep in the house.

However, this was the first time that the mother and son had encountered such a thing, and if Ji Xingchuan had not had something to protect himself, no one knew how things would have developed. Just thinking about it made them feel scared.

The two men tossed and turned and didn't get much sleep. They got up at dawn and went to the store, intending to discuss with everyone how to deal with the two people in the yard.

"Report to the police! We must report to the police! If we let these two beasts go, they will definitely take revenge on us!" Lin Yutang said in a deep voice with a cold face.

I didn’t expect that Grandma Pang and her son would actually do something like climbing the wall in the middle of the night. If they don’t report it to the police, the life of this orphan and widow will definitely be difficult in the future.

Zhou was very worried. She also wanted to report the case to the police, but she was afraid of greater retaliation in the future. She didn't care, but Xiaochuan...

Zhou looked at Ji Xingchuan worriedly. Ji Xingchuan squeezed her hand and said firmly, "Mom, let's report it to the police!"

"Okay!" Zhou nodded. She didn't want to be weak this time.

Li Mufeng was left in the store to watch over the shop, and the rest of the people accompanied Zhou's mother and son to report to the authorities. The county magistrate directly sent four yamen runners to go to Zhou's house to arrest Old Lady Pang and Old Second Wu.

When the group arrived at Zhou's house, Old Lady Pang and Old Second Wu were still asleep, and the official poured a basin of cold water on them, chilling them thoroughly.

"Who is so blind as to dare to treat me like this?" Wu Laoer opened his eyes cursing and was met with the cold face of the officer.

Wu Laoer: I think I can stay dizzy for a while longer.

Old Mrs. Pang woke up slowly after pouring the second basin of water, and saw Zhou and Ji Xingchuan in front of her at a glance.

"You little bitch, why don't you untie me now? I'll beat you to a pulp. Ouch, my teeth, my teeth!" Old lady Pang spoke with a lisp, and then she remembered the teeth she had knocked out last night.

"If you have anything to say, go to the government office and talk!" The officer lifted the two people up from the ground. Only then did Mrs. Pang see the group of people behind her. There were even officers! Zhou, that little bitch, actually dared to report to the authorities!

"Oh, look everyone, the daughter-in-law wants to send her mother-in-law and brother-in-law to the yamen. Come and judge for yourself. This will shorten their lifespan. It's extremely unfilial!" Old Mrs. Pang started shouting as soon as she walked out of the door, attracting a crowd of common people.

Aunt Li rolled up her sleeves and prepared to confront her, but Lin Zhi stopped her: "Aunt Li, bear with it for now, we'll talk when we get to the government office."

When they arrived at the government office, the entrance was crowded with onlookers. Facing the judge, Old Lady Pang and Old Second Wu didn't dare to act too rudely and just kept shouting that they were wronged.

"Ms. Zhou, why are you suing your mother-in-law and brother-in-law?" The county magistrate's majestic voice sounded.

"Last night, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law climbed over the wall into our house and tried to rob us of our money and kill us. I hope you can understand this!" Zhou led Ji Xingchuan forward and knelt down and said.

"You're talking nonsense! You don't let me see my grandson normally. I just wanted to see my poor grandson while you were asleep. County Magistrate, you don't know that this vicious woman kidnapped my grandson and won't let me see him. She even makes him work. My poor child!"

As Old Lady Pang spoke, she burst into tears. For a moment, the people at the door didn't know who to support and started talking about it.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, yesterday Old Lady Pang came to my shop to find Zhou and asked her for money, saying that if she didn't give it, she would kill her and Xiaochuan sooner or later. Many diners in the shop saw this!" Lin Yutang stepped forward and told the story.

"You're talking nonsense. We just want that little bitch Zhou so that she will listen to us and hand over the money. When did we do such a thing as murder and robbery?" Wu Laoer couldn't stand it anymore. How could he slander people like this? Really!

Mrs. Pang: What a sin I have committed! What a strange thing I gave birth to.

Onlookers: Oh, I see.

"Are you admitting your guilt? Come on, drag these two away, give them fifty lashes, and then put them in jail!" The county magistrate gave the order. He didn't expect that Wu Lao Er would confess so quickly.

"Ms. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, please beg for mercy. Mother will die if she gets fifty strokes of the cane!" Old Mrs. Pang panicked and crawled to Ms. Zhou, pinched her arm and said.

Lin Zhi, Lin Yutang, and the others gathered around Zhou, offering her silent support. Zhou was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked intently at Old Lady Pang. "It's not impossible for me to reconcile."

Ji Xingchuan was so anxious that he grabbed Zhou's hand.

Zhou patted his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. She turned to Old Lady Pang and said firmly, word by word, "Xiaochuan and I are severing our ties with your family. From now on, our two families will go our separate ways. If you agree, I won't pursue this matter."

"You!" Old Mrs. Pang was so angry that she almost fell over. This was equivalent to cutting off her own source of income! She was unwilling to accept this.

"Mom, please agree to her quickly. I don't want to be beaten!" Wu Laoer said, pulling Old Lady Pang's hand. He would probably die here after fifty strokes of the board, and if he didn't get treatment, one of his feet would probably be crippled.
