Um?

After hearing Gu Yunyang's words, the village chief realized something.

He looked around and saw several people in the crowd with shifty eyes.

Those were Cao Ying's relatives, her uncles' and aunts' relatives.

It's likely a cover-up, or perhaps a scheme devised together.

Why did you bring someone else's son over? What are you trying to do?

The village chief immediately realized that they probably wanted more money.

He was well aware of the Cao family's intentions.

Perhaps there's also the intention of getting the Gu family to back down and get Cao Ding out of the police station.

Before Gu Yunyang asked that question, the village chief could have pretended not to know, and might even have offered some advice.

After all, they are all from our own village. How could we possibly side with outsiders?

But now that Gu Yunyang has asked this question, the village chief understands that Gu Yunyang is probably trying to be polite first and then resort to force.

So he gave his answer, and now he wants to go back on his word, which is definitely not an option.

The village chief immediately said, "We can't have so many people come together. You can come over and ask, and then take the child back. But are you sure the child has been brought back?"

If it's confirmed, why are so many of them coming?

It was impossible to let Cao Ying take him away at that time.

Even the village chief was somewhat surprised. The Cao family was really something else; they went to someone else's village and took all the children away from their home.

They were about to get a divorce, didn't they guard against this move?

They really didn't expect it. Gu Hanping and Hao Pingping never thought that Cao Ying could do such a thing.

Doesn't she consider what will happen if Gu Gaoyang doesn't adapt well to taking her son back?

If she takes the money, her son and daughter will have a hard time in the future.

However, Cao Ying's selfish and self-serving nature actually makes her capable of doing such things.

Gu Hanping and Hao Pingping were only thinking about how to raise their child in the future without causing too much trouble for their son.

It's good to let my son remarry. We have to make a living, don't we?

Unfortunately, they didn't expect that the depths of human depravity were so incredibly low.

Gu Yunyang looked at the village chief being carried away with amusement; he was definitely still trying to fool him.

So, the villagers still tend to side with their own relatives, not with what's right or wrong.

Even knowing what the Cao family had done, the village chief's first thought was still to fool the people from the Red Flag Brigade back to their hometown.

As for whether the Red Flag Brigade or Gu Hanping's family would suffer losses, he didn't care.

At most, I'll just sigh a little.

"Those Cao family members are truly despicable. They even brought their child back after the divorce to threaten the other party into giving them more money."

Besides that, he probably wouldn't think about anything else.

They wouldn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt.

This is the ancestral hall; the first priority is to protect one's own people.

In the south, ancestral halls have more power, and their first thought is definitely to protect the interests of their own people.

However, this matter involves divorce and the question of who gets custody of the children.

The village chief insisted once again that the child should go to the father.

This is a principle that is accepted by the groom's clan.

Once they were lifted up, they couldn't get down.

Gu Yunyang chuckled: "We're here to find our child, aren't we? The other members of the team are all very enthusiastic and anxious, so we came together to help find him. We didn't mean anything by it."

Does it mean nothing else?

The village chief thinks you're quite interesting.

How could it not have other meanings?

The village chief knew that this was because the Red Flag Brigade was afraid that the Red Flag Brigade would bully the smaller force due to their superior numbers.

But you think our village is afraid of just thirty or so of you?

Gu Yunyang added, "Really, we're here to find someone. Why don't you take us to the Cao family's house to look for them, village chief? Who brings a child directly to their maternal grandfather's house for a meal?"
