"Eldest brother, your brother's mother-in-law is here. You need to quickly explain to your aunt that our family really doesn't want to take Xiang Hong's job. I... I'm so wronged. Waaah..."

Bonnie felt goosebumps all over her body. "Auntie, you're really not suited to this kind of posture at your age. Even if you're not overweight, you can't be so confident. Who gave you the courage?"

"Hey, don't cry." Old Man Wei's distressed expression and the way he wiped away her tears made Bao Ni feel a little nauseous. Now she knew who gave this old woman the courage!

Absolutely amazing!

"Yang Xianghong married into our Wei family, so she's one of us. She should be filial to her mother-in-law and care for her younger siblings. What's wrong with lending her a job? Even if she has to give it up, it's only right." Just a moment ago, he was acting like a sentimental male lead in a Qiong Yao drama, showering this old white lotus with concern and warmth. Now, he's turned into a feudal patriarch.

"You, you're talking nonsense, you..."

Aunt Yang was so angry that her hands were shaking. What kind of family was this? What kind of thinking did they have?

Bonnie glanced at the bewildered Yang Xianghong and pulled up Aunt Yang, who was too angry to speak.

"Uncle, were your ancestors from the Bordered Yellow Banner or the Plain Red Banner?"

"What did you say?" The old man didn't understand.

“Our family are working-class people; we’ve been poor for eight generations. Don’t wrong us.” Granny Ding is the wise one in her family.

"You call us landlords and rich people? I think you should hit us first." When Old Man Ding heard his wife's words, he realized that the young woman was not saying anything nice, and he raised his hand to hit her.

“Bonnie…”

Bonnie grabbed Old Man Ding's hand, preventing him from moving. "You've been poor for eight generations, how can you have such feudalistic patriarchal ideas? Yang Xianghong married Wei Jun, not sold to your Wei family."

In ancient times, a woman's dowry was considered private property, and her husband's family had no right to dispose of it. This is the new China now; the leaders have said that women hold up half the sky. How can you be so capable? You think you're part of the Wei family now that you're married into it? You're expected to serve your parents-in-law and take care of your younger siblings. What is the Wei family trying to do? Try to restore the old order?

Bonnie hated that kind of face so much that she flung the old man away, sending him flying quite a distance until he crashed into the man who had returned.

"Dad, are you alright?" He quickly helped his father up, his face contorted with rage. "You shameless woman, how dare you hit my dad? You're asking for death!" He released his father and charged at Bonnie.

With his burly frame and powerful punches, Bonnie didn't confront him head-on. Instead, she seized an opportunity, feinted, and kicked him in the back of the thigh.

With a thud, the man knelt on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Brother, Father, Mother, what happened? Xiang Hong, are you alright? Are you still feeling unwell? Why didn't you lie down a little longer? Are you still hot?" His series of actions and words clearly showed him to be a loving husband who doted on his wife.

Yang Xianghong avoided Wei Jun's hand as it reached for her forehead, feeling afraid.

Good heavens, Bonnie is completely stunned! Are men these days so shrewd? This routine, these methods, it's terrifying!

"Mother, look, we're family, this is all a misunderstanding. My love for Xiang Hong is as clear as day and night; if you could cut it open, it would be bright red." A good-looking man, coupled with these words, would make anyone say "good" to him.

Aunt Zhang nudged Bao Ni, signaling that he couldn't let him continue talking like that, otherwise...

Bonnie knew that this was going to be bad for them, but the father and son were no match for them. They stopped fighting and looked like they were about to surrender. Bonnie couldn't just beat prisoners for no reason!

"Chirp chirp..."

Bonnie perked up and glanced around the crowd, spotting Sister Zhang and Sister Zhou.

The three exchanged glances in the air, everything under control.

"Wei Jun, you're making it sound so nice. My family is very understanding. They don't even mind that my sister hasn't gotten pregnant after several years of marriage. Shouldn't I thank you on behalf of my family?" Bao Ni said sarcastically.

"We're family, no need for thanks or formalities." Wei Jun's acting skills are truly inherited!

"Really? Look, who's that? Ji Zu, your dad bought you candy, come and get it." Bonnie waved to the crowd.

"What?" Wei Jun's expression changed. He looked in the direction Bonnie was pointing and realized it was all over.

"Dad, what candy did you buy for me? Is it White Rabbit milk candy?" A four or five-year-old boy ran over, hugged Wei Jun's leg, and looked up at him.

"Whose child is this? Why is he randomly claiming someone as his father?" Wei Jun panicked for a moment and began to deny it.

"Dad..." The child didn't know what was wrong with his father, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Get away, I don't know you." Wei Jun ruthlessly pushed the child away. He couldn't acknowledge him, he absolutely couldn't acknowledge him.

The child was terrified and didn't know what to do.

Bonnie felt a little guilty and wanted to end it quickly; the adults' mistakes shouldn't be borne by the children.

“Wei Jun, you don’t need to pretend anymore. We’ve investigated thoroughly. You not only committed marriage fraud, but you also cheated people out of money and jobs. Your family members were also involved in this scheme. We have irrefutable evidence, and we’ll settle this today.”

As soon as Bonnie finished speaking, another chirping sound came, and Sister Duan returned as well.

"I……"

“We received a report that Wei Jun has misconduct and is even attempting to murder his wife for money. Which one of you is Wei Jun? Come with us.” A staff member from the Revolutionary Committee wearing a red armband approached.

"No, we didn't, it's all a misunderstanding. This child isn't ours, we don't know him." Granny Ding stopped pretending to be innocent and ran over, trying to push the child, but the child's mother pushed her away and held the child protectively in her arms.
