Chapter 397: The Ungrateful Old Man
Chapter 397: The Ungrateful Old Man
Grandma Song never expected there would be surveillance cameras on the mountain.
She originally thought that if there were no surveillance cameras, she could drag the Shi family down with her.
Even when she's being unreasonable, she can still stir things up.
We can't let her precious grandson die in vain.
But now!
There are surveillance cameras on the mountain.
"I don't believe it! The surveillance footage is fake! It's fake! My eldest grandson was killed by the Shi family!" Old Mrs. Song started throwing a tantrum.
But this is the police station's interrogation room.
Throwing a tantrum or rolling on the ground won't work.
soon.
She was subdued by two policewomen.
At the same time, the surveillance footage of Song Yaozu falling into the water was also played on the large screen in the interrogation room.
“Wei Xiumei, look carefully! The drowning person fell in on their own. If we're really going to assign blame, you parents bear the greatest responsibility! How could you let a minor child go out and play alone like that?”
"Furthermore, we received reports from onlookers that if you hadn't removed the valve core from the swimming ring, the child wouldn't have been in this situation! You are the real murderer who killed the child!"
What does it mean to reap what you sow?
Grandma Song made this word directly tangible!
Upon hearing the police's words, Grandma Song's mental defenses completely crumbled, and she burst into tears, saying, "No, I didn't mean to! I didn't know that falling into the water was my Yaozu's doing!"
If she had known that it was Song Yaozu who fell in, she definitely wouldn't have destroyed the swimming ring.
No one knows how much Grandma Song regrets it now!
She even had the urge to strangle herself.
Upon hearing this, the police officer scoffed, "What do you mean you don't know? Just because it's someone else's child, does that give you the right to be so indifferent to life? The bystanders aren't asking you to jump into the water to save them! They're just asking you to lend them a swimming ring, and you won't even do that!"
Grandma Song was still crying, "It's all Shi Sheng's fault! It's all Shi Sheng's fault! Shi Sheng clearly knew that the person who fell into the lake was my Yaozu, but she wouldn't explain it clearly! Officer, although Shi Sheng didn't directly push my grandson into the water, she's no different from a murderer! If she had just told me that the person who fell into the lake was my Yaozu, how could I have possibly pulled the valve core off the lifebuoy?"
"Murderer! Shi Sheng is the murderer! Officer, you must get justice for me!"
The more Mrs. Song thought about it, the more she realized it made sense.
Everyone in the Shi family knows Song Yaozu.
Perhaps they already knew that the person who fell into the lake was Song Yaozu!
"Nonsense! I've already made my grandson's matter very clear," the police officer said, looking at Old Mrs. Song. "Now let's talk about your premeditated murder!"
Premeditated murder?
Old Mrs. Song immediately retorted, "No, I didn't intentionally murder her. I'm seeking justice for my grandson! Shi Sheng deserves to die, that little bitch deserves to die! Why can the Shi family gather together, while my Song family is torn apart? It's unfair! It's unfair!"
By the end, Old Mrs. Song appeared to be completely insane.
The clerk wrote down every single word that Old Mrs. Song said!
After the interrogation, Mrs. Song was taken to the detention center.
She struggled desperately, "Where are you taking me? When can I go back?"
She still has to go back to officiate at Song Yaozu's funeral.
She wanted to see her beloved grandson one last time!
"Go back?" The police officer in charge of escorting Old Mrs. Song glanced at her. "Wei Xiumei, you are suspected of attempted murder. You want to go back? You can spend the rest of your life in prison!"
Although Mrs. Song is getting old.
Attempted murder is not a simple crime.
jail?
Grandma Song's eyes widened!
"No! I can't go to jail! I can't go to jail!" Old Mrs. Song shouted and made a scene. "The one who should be in jail is Shi Sheng! How can I go to jail?"
But no one paid any attention to Old Mrs. Song.
The escorts didn't hesitate to shove Grandma Song into the car.
Song Zhizhi also came to the police station.
She was waiting at the door.
When I saw the old lady and Jiang Ning come out from inside.
Song Zhizhi immediately went to greet her.
"Grandma Shi, Miss Shi."
Grandma Shi glanced at Song Zhizhi, her expression not very pleasant.
The Song family has gone too far!
Grandma Song almost hurt Jiang Ning today.
Although this matter has nothing to do with Song Zhizhi.
But she's also a member of the Song family!
This made Old Mrs. Shi really not have a good impression of Song Zhizhi.
After Song Yaozu's incident, Song Zhizhi cried for a long time, and even now, her eyes are still red and swollen: "Grandma Shi, I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to say sorry to you. My mother caused you and your family a lot of trouble in the past, and whatever punishment she receives now, it is well deserved!"
Song Zhizhi no longer addressed the old lady as "Auntie" as before, but instead used a more respectful form of address.
In closing, Song Zhizhi bowed to the old lady and then turned and left.
Watching Song Zhizhi's departing figure, a look of surprise flashed in Grandma Shi's eyes.
Song Zhizhi's move was somewhat unexpected by Grandma Shi.
I thought Song Zhizhi was going to bring up the favors Song Laoye had done for Shi Laoye again.
did not expect.
Song Zhizhi didn't say anything, she just said sorry.
Grandma Shi squinted, "Zhizhi is a clear-headed child, unlike the others in the Song family."
"Mom, Shengbao."
Shi Nanxing and Si Huashang walked over from the other side.
Si Huashang grabbed Jiang Ning's hand tightly, "Shengbao, are you alright?"
"It's okay, Mom." Jiang Ning shook her head.
Si Huashang looked terrified. "That old woman from the Song family is really crazy! She actually used a knife to hurt people. Luckily, your father reacted quickly."
At this point, Si Huashang looked at Old Madam Shi again, "Mom, we can't just lift a heavy hand and let it go this time! We have to make that old woman from the Song family pay the price."
Shi Nanxing nodded in agreement. "Mom, Hua Chang is right. We don't owe the Song family anything anymore."
Shi Nanxing was furious whenever he thought about how his daughter was almost hurt by Old Mrs. Song!
“I know,” Old Mrs. Shi said, looking at her son and daughter-in-law. “This time, I will absolutely not be soft-hearted! Let the law punish her!”
Here.
Song Zhizhi got into the car parked by the roadside.
As soon as I got on the bus, my phone rang.
It was Song Zhizhi's husband, Li Yuan, who called.
"How's the matter going?" Li Yuan asked.
Song Zhizhi sat in the back seat, rubbing her temples wearily, her voice still trembling with tears, "It's almost all taken care of. Yaozu is still at the funeral home. When are you getting home?"
Song Yaozu was her only nephew.
As her aunt, it would be a lie to say I felt nothing at all.
Li Yuan is currently abroad, and Song Zhizhi is unable to handle Song Yaozu's funeral arrangements alone. She can only wait for her husband to return so they can deal with it together.
“I’m already at the airport. I’ll be home by noon tomorrow at the earliest.” Li Yuan’s voice came from the other end. “Don’t be too sad, and don’t blame me for being cold! Maybe this is Yaozu’s fate! To put it bluntly, a kid like him, even if he grows up, won’t contribute anything to society. This is actually a good ending for him.”
Upon hearing this, Song Zhizhi didn't say anything, but covered her mouth and sobbed.
I feel guilty.
I'm sad.
But more than anything, it was a relief.
As for why Li Yuan said that a child like Song Yaozu, even if he grows up smoothly, will not make any contribution to society, it is because Song Yaozu was not a normal child from birth; he has XYY syndrome.
Abbreviated as supermale gene.
His genes weren't very good to begin with, but Old Mrs. Song doted on Song Yaozu terribly.
This resulted in Song Yaozu getting into countless troubles from childhood to adulthood.
Last year, he even broke his deskmate's leg, causing the classmate to be permanently disabled and bedridden for the rest of his life.
If the Song family hadn't been wealthy, and if Old Madam Song hadn't found someone to smooth things over, Song Yaozu would already be in a juvenile detention center.
Song Zhizhi felt guilty because she discovered that Song Yaozu had fallen into the lake immediately.
that moment.
She seemed to be held down.
Many things flashed before her eyes.
The Song family is now bankrupt, Old Mrs. Song is very old, and Song Junying has been sentenced to death. As Song Yaozu's aunt, she will definitely have to take on the responsibility of raising her nephew in the future.
After all, she was Song Yaozu's only relative besides Old Madam Song.
From now on, she will not only have to take care of Old Mrs. Song, but also Song Yaozu!
One person can support two others.
Given Song Yaozu's character...
Song Zhizhi had already foreseen that she would be dragged down by Song Yaozu.
It's true that she married into a wealthy family, but she has her own family and her parents-in-law are still alive. If Song Yaozu were a normal child, it would be fine; it would just be like adding another chopstick to the family. After all, the Li family isn't short of money.
Exactly.
Song Yaozu is only good at causing trouble; he's violent and bloody, and when he goes berserk, he even beats Old Mrs. Song.
With her abilities, she simply couldn't discipline this nephew.
Song Yaozu will also become a burden to her.
If she brings Song Yaozu along, her in-laws will eventually dislike her.
and so.
She had no choice but to cruelly choose to turn a blind eye.
Only after learning that Old Mrs. Song had personally destroyed the only life preserver that could save Song Yaozu did Song Zhizhi breathe a sigh of relief, and her guilt lessened considerably.
She wasn't the one who killed Song Yaozu!
It was Old Mrs. Song herself!
Song Zhizhi tried to comfort herself, but the more she tried, the more guilty she felt. Finally, she huddled in the back seat and burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, the driver comforted her, "Madam, what's done is done. Please accept my condolences."

City A.
Grandpa Jiang, wearing a vest, was picking up trash in the neighborhood.
"Mr. Jiang."
A man in a suit walked up to Grandpa Jiang and spoke with a smile.
Old Master Jiang turned to look at the newcomer, his brows furrowed with impatience. "Mr. Wu, is it? Didn't I already tell you? I'm not selling that land, I'm not selling that land. Why can't you understand?"
Some time ago, after consulting with Jiang Ning's stepmother, Grandpa Jiang bought a piece of land at a low price as an investment.
Unexpectedly, less than half a month had passed.
The other company then changed its mind.
I'm determined to buy it all back no matter what!
In just three days, they have already come to see Grandpa Jiang more than ten times.
This left Grandpa Jiang speechless.
Wu Zhouyuan continued, "Mr. Jiang, our Chairman Liu is very sincere and is willing to repurchase this land at three times the price you originally paid."
"Don't even mention three times, I won't sell it even if it's ten or twenty times more," Old Master Jiang said firmly as he looked at Wu Zhouyuan. "Mr. Wu, you should go back. Don't waste your energy here."
When he bought that land, Grandpa Jiang planned to use it for his retirement, so why would he sell it so easily now?
As he spoke, Grandpa Jiang picked up the garbage bag and walked to the other side.
Watching Old Master Jiang's retreating figure, Wu Zhouyuan spat on the ground, "Pah! You ungrateful old bastard!"
