"Yeah, I was taken to the police station along with the Old Jiang Family. Luckily, the comrades inside were good people, just like you. They asked me a bunch of questions and told me not to cause trouble for the Jiang Family anymore, then they let me go." The old woman wasn't a fool; she tacked on a little flattery at the end.
The two uniformed police officers exchanged a subtle glance before separating, then listened to the old woman's story with serious expressions.
"I've been so wronged! After I got home, I just cried in my blanket every day. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I didn't even do anything, and the Jiang Family got me thrown in jail! I've lived an honest, blameless life, but now in my old age, I have to suffer this injustice. It's so unfair!" As the old woman spoke, tears started to fall. She hadn't dwelled on it, but now that she was talking, all the frustration came rushing back. This time, her tears were real.
