Chapter 185 Tie them up and fork them out

Upon hearing Wen Yuanshan's words, the soldiers exchanged glances and, not daring to delay, quickly sent someone in to inform Wen Ni.

"I see."

Wen Ni responded with a somber expression.

What's meant to come will come.

She had expected to run into them when she returned to Phoenix Town, but she didn't expect them to come so soon!

She grabbed Wang Zhongshan by the collar and dragged him out.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Wang Zhongshan lost his balance and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing manner!

Wen Ni didn't speak, and he didn't dare to get up. He just stood there between the two of them, dumbfounded.

"Wen Ni, is it really you?" Wen Yuanshan's expression was complicated. "They said you were back, but I didn't quite believe it at first..."

Whether I come back or not is none of your business.

Wen Ni smiled faintly and shook her head, then suddenly realized, "Oh right, I don't know who it was, who kept saying they were cutting ties with me, but a few days ago they called me and asked me for money to pay for their son's medical treatment?"

"Do you really think I'm an ATM, that I can just open my mouth and spit out money?"

Wen Ni's sarcastic words made Wen Yuanshan's face turn pale.

The surrounding villagers also pointed and whispered among themselves.

Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Sun Yuling, without hesitation, sat down on the ground, pointed at Wen Ni's nose, and started howling!

"You heartless, depraved girl!"

"Neighbors and fellow villagers, please stand up for us! A few days ago, my youngest son was sick and we didn't have any money. I asked his father to call this damned girl to borrow money, but not only did she refuse, she also used some connections to have her own father locked up in the police station!"

Sun Yuling spoke while crying, tears and snot streaming down her face.

“I was left at home to take care of the children. I finally got him out of the police station a couple of days ago, and then this earthquake hit. The house we just built was destroyed, and his hand was broken! We didn’t have money for treatment, so we had to find a small clinic to tie his hand up!”

"That jinx, she doesn't care about her own father's life or death, and now she's taking advantage of her position to act arrogantly and bully Secretary Wang and us..."

"Your Honor, please, I beg you to do me justice!"

Sun Yuling became more and more emotional as she spoke.

"Hearing you say that, then you must be quite wronged?" Wen Ni asked calmly and expressionlessly, "And what about me? Who can stand up for me and my brother?"

"You two ungrateful wretches, do you even need to make decisions?" Sun Yuling seemed to have heard a joke.

Wen Ni's single glance sent a shiver down Sun Yuling's spine, filling her with inexplicable fear!

"Wen Cheng and I have been away from home for nearly a year. Whether we are doing well or badly, or how we make a living, have you ever asked us a single question?"

"No, you didn't ask a single question."

"All they ever talk about is money, they even go so far as to smear me, thinking they have something on me. They've repeatedly acted like clowns in front of me, just trying to force me to raise their son!"

“I’m telling you, stop daydreaming.”

Wen Ni stepped forward, her aura imposing, directly confronting Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan! She stopped in front of them, looking down at them.

Her gaze swept over Wen Yuanshan's injured hand, and the smile on her lips seemed to be tinged with icy indifference!

"It was this earthquake that injured his hand, yet you're all crying and wailing, running up to me and accusing me for no reason!"

"When I was rescuing people from under the rubble and nearly lost my life, did you, as parents, ever ask me if I was safe?"

"That's true..."

"My life and death have always been insignificant to you, not worth mentioning!"

Wen Ni's grief had long been exhausted; all that remained in her heart was hatred!

"Then why should I care whether you live or die?"

Every word she said was heartbreaking!

The villagers who were previously unaware of the truth immediately understood after hearing it!

The way they looked at Wen Yuanshan and his wife gradually began to subtly change.

"Listen to this! Is that even human language she's using?!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Sun Yuling could only resort to tantrums and sulking to gain sympathy.

"No matter what, Wen Yuanshan is still your biological father! You can't be so heartless!"

Wen Yuanshan was clearly on Sun Yuling's side.

From the moment Wen Ni appeared, there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes when he looked at her; only resentment and complaints filled his gaze!

"A jinx!"

"All the disasters we face in our lives today are brought about by you, you jinx!"

These are the words spoken by Wen Ni's biological father.

"Oh dear... don't mess with this living ancestor!" Wang Zhongshan, sitting on the ground, couldn't bear to look or listen anymore.

He pointed tremblingly in Wen Ni's direction, reminding Sun Yuling:

"Hey girl! Do you even know what rank Winnie is in the army? If she really comes after this whole farce, we'll all be in deep trouble!"

"Her? What level could she be?" Sun Yuling scoffed.

The others also looked puzzled and curious.

"The leader of the third echelon of the earthquake rescue forces is a major! Isn't that enough? Otherwise, what rank do you think she would be?" A deep, cold voice rang out.

Wen Ni and the others turned around in the blink of an eye.

The person who came was none other than Captain Lu, who was leading a large group of men as they marched in!

"The person in charge? A major?"

Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan kept repeating this obscure title.

They didn't understand job titles, but just hearing these high-level terms, they roughly understood!

"What exactly is going on?" Captain Lu stood before the crowd, his face tense and serious.

His sharp gaze swept across Sun Yuling's face, finally landing on Wen Ni.

“You’re Wen Ni’s boss, right? You have to stand up for us!” Sun Yuling said first.

Captain Lu's gaze was somber. "Make a decision? What decision? Tell me."

“This man next to me is Wen Ni’s biological father, and I am her stepmother. That girl Wen Ni has no conscience. She burned down our house and cut off all ties with us. Now she’s bullying us. Look at her father’s hand; it was broken because of her…”

"So what is your demand?" Captain Lu interrupted her rambling.

“My demand is that Wen Ni pay for our medical expenses, as well as our expenses during this period, including the monthly allowance for our parents!” Sun Yuling’s eyes lit up. “She’s an officer now, so she must receive a lot of subsidies, right?”

"Oh, just for such a small matter?" Captain Lu nodded slowly, then changed the subject.

Sun Yuling smiled sheepishly, "Yes, yes, it's just that!"

"Okay, I understand."

Captain Lu nodded, then turned to Wen Ni with a displeased look. "Wen Ni, I've told you many times that at this critical juncture, people's emotions will fluctuate. We cannot allow such gatherings to occur, and we certainly cannot allow anything to damage the image of the military!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan nodded in agreement, gloating as they waited for Wen Ni to be punished!

Then

Then Captain Lu pointed at Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling, and continued in a low voice:

"You don't need to listen to their nonsense about leading a group to cause trouble, talking nonsense, and arbitrarily framing and spreading rumors about active-duty soldiers! You should tie them all up immediately, throw them in a car, and take them to the brigade to lock them up!"
