-Zhang Family-

The whole family was frightened by the two policemen who came to their door in the middle of the night. Thinking about the fact that Zhang Guojie came back injured tonight and took back a lot of money, they felt a pang in their hearts.

Then one of the policemen, a dark and thin man named Chang Jiantang, asked, "Where is Zhang Guojie?"

Zhang's mother wanted to buy time to buy her son time to escape. Her nervous hands unconsciously rubbed against her trouser legs: "He's not at home, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jianxun was on patrol with his colleagues tonight. On the way, he met Ma Xiu Lan and Zhao Xingguo in a hurry. He recognized Ma Xiu Lan. After all, Ma Xiu Lan had brought Zhao Xingmin to present him with a banner last time.

Upon asking, he learned that they wanted to report a case, so he took them back to the station to understand the situation. He was afraid that Zhang Guojie would transfer the stolen money overnight, so he couldn't wait until dawn the next day and came to arrest him.

"Think carefully before you speak. Harboring someone is also illegal."

Zhang Guojie's third sister-in-law was afraid that they would be implicated, so she immediately pointed at the door of Zhang Guojie's room.

Zhang Jianxun knocked on the door, and when he heard no movement from inside, he broke in, grabbed Zhang Guojie, who was still lying on the bed with his eyes half open and not fully awake, and controlled him.

Zhang Guojie yelled, "You've arrested the wrong person! What did I do wrong to arrest me? It's totally unfair."

"You stalked a little girl, assaulted her, forced her into marriage, and even extorted a large sum of money from her mother. Do you think you're being wronged?"

Zhang Jianxun felt that Zhao Xingmin was very unlucky. First, she had an unscrupulous sister-in-law, and then she was targeted by gangsters. Fortunately, the girl's mother was sensible.

He was not frightened by Zhang Guojie, but chose to call the police directly.

Zhang Guojie knew that it was Zhao Xingmin who called the police, and he immediately explained:

"It was Zhao Xingmin who seduced me first, and I wanted to talk to her, but I was beaten by her brother. Zhao Xingmin married me voluntarily, and the money was a dowry from her family."

"Don't tell me these lies here. Come back to the police station with me. We have all the evidence and witnesses, and I won't tolerate your lies."

After Zhang Jianxun finished speaking, he took the person away, and also took away Ma Xiulan's money and bicycle.

After Zhang Guojie was taken away, it was time for the other members of the Zhang family to go to bed, except for Zhang's father and mother who had a sleepless night. At dawn, Zhang's father said he would publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with Zhang Guojie, so as to avoid having a labor camp prisoner in the family and being looked down upon by the neighbors.

Zhang's mother scratched Zhang's father's face, her eyes reddened. "If you dare to give up Guojie, I will divorce you and spread all your trivial affairs to the whole street."

Zhang's father felt like someone was pinching his neck, unable to breathe. He turned around and slapped Zhang's mother in the face to vent his anger: "You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy."

Zhang's mother was unmoved: "Whatever money we have at home, I'm going to use it to build relationships."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Zhang's mother alone, Zhang's father woke up everyone else in the family.

When it comes to money, everyone gets angry.

The Zhang family is in the midst of a family war.

On the other hand, Ma Xiu Lan took a leave of absence in the morning, and then went to take the statement with Xing Guo, Xing Min, and Zhao Dahai. After finishing the statement, the children came back home to review together.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts. This time, Dahai told Xingmin and Xingguo about Zhang Guojie in time, avoiding the tragedy. She should go to Zhao Dahai's house to thank him.

She arrived at Zhao Dahai's house, also known as Zhao Youjie's house, and knocked on the door. At that time, Li Shulan was hanging clothes in the yard. There was no way, because all the clothes had been taken away by Zhao Youcai. Now there were few clothes, so she could only wash them frequently so that she could have enough to change.

She thought it was a neighbor next door visiting, so she helped open the door without thinking.

When she opened the door and found it was Ma Xiulan, she was stunned for a moment, then stared at Ma Xiulan with eyes full of hatred: "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

If Ma Xiu Lan had not suddenly become a different person, smart and capable, her affair with Zhao Youcai would not have been discovered. She would still be He Chengyang's wife. Especially when she heard that He Chengyang had been promoted recently, she regretted it so much.

Ma Xiulan walked right past her, completely ignoring her as if she were just a random person passing by. She stood in the yard and called out, "Sister Erni, are you there?"

Wang Erni emerged from the kitchen, her tone filled with embarrassment and surprise: "Xiu Lan, you're here."

The embarrassment was that Ma Xiulan was Zhao Youcai's ex-wife, and she took in Zhao Youcai's old lover Li Shulan for the rent.

She was surprised because Ma Xiu Lan had changed a lot. The last time she saw Ma Xiu Lan was five years ago. She was only forty years old at that time, but she looked much older than her peers and seemed to be extremely overworked.

Now her face looks rosy and shiny, and her eyes are bright and lively, which shows that she is living a good life after the divorce.

"Come in quickly."

She welcomed Ma Xiulan into the house, and Ma Xiulan put the things she brought on the table.

"Sister Erni, I came here specifically to thank Dahai. This is just a small token of my gratitude."

Wang Erni looked at the malted milk, a large bag of White Rabbit milk candy, and about three or four pounds of pork on the table, and she couldn't suppress her smile.

Especially, there was a 50-yuan note underneath the malted milk.

"Xiu Lan, that's too polite. After all, Dahai, Xingguo, and Xingmin all have the same great-grandfather, so they're all siblings."

Ma Xiu Lan stuffed the money into Wang Erni's pocket. Xingmin's uncle would sell Xingmin for 50 yuan, and his brother would also sell Xingmin for the sake of his family.

Dahai, a cousin who was not in close contact with her, was not bribed by 50 yuan and chose to stand up and remind Xingmin. He also cooperated with Xingguo to take action and even testified against Zhang Guojie as a witness. She must remember this friendship.
