"Sit down then. Since you're in charge of this matter, I'll come to you."

The old lady followed Wang Tianxiao to the rock, jumped up, sat cross-legged on the rock, crossed her little feet under her buttocks, and said fiercely.

"Sure, come to me. But we need to discuss terms. First, you have to tell me what exactly happened. You've been acting all aggressive for so long, and I don't even know what's going on with you?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. The old lady pointed at Wu Qiancai and said, "Ask him."

All eyes turned to Wu Qiancai.

He scratched his head awkwardly, sighed, and began to tell Wang Tianxiao his story with Shi Huanhuan.

It turns out, this is just a very ordinary story.

The gist of it is that Wu Qiancai's parents and Shi Huanhuan's parents had a very good relationship, so the two children were betrothed in the womb and were told this to each other after they were born, which is considered a marriage between children.

However, with the early death of Wu Qiancai's parents, his family's fortunes declined, while Shi Huanhuan's parents, with several children, lived a prosperous life. The two families gradually fell into different categories.

It was a good thing that the family's fortunes improved, but gradually the Shi family looked down on Wu Qiancai, so they changed their attitude and found another partner for Shi Huanhuan.

This naturally provoked strong opposition from Shi Huanhuan.

After all, this is a new society; we can't force people to get married.

The matter was thus delayed.

As the two of them grew older, Wu Qiancai couldn't bear it any longer. Last time he went home, he secretly brought Shi Huanhuan out. Because the station was in the mountains, no one outside knew about it, so the Shi family was anxious but there was nothing they could do.

Wu Qiancai originally didn't plan to go home for the Chinese New Year, fearing the consequences if Shi Huanhuan were discovered. However, Shi Huanhuan thought that her parents' attitude should have changed after being away for so long, so she decided to go back to visit them.

As a result, she was not only scolded, but also detained and prevented from leaving with Wu Wenhua.

Having no other option, Wu Wenhua resorted to his old tricks and seized another opportunity to abduct the person from their home.

But this time their whereabouts were exposed, and they were quickly chased up the mountain, leading to this ridiculous situation.

After listening to this, Wang Tianxiao suddenly realized that Wu Qiancai was actually quite a man.

From a future perspective, everyone is in control of their own life, and parents have no right to interfere in their children's marriage, let alone cut off their children's marital future simply because they want to choose a different partner.

Wu Qiancai lacked the ability and financial resources to support his marriage, but he did not completely accept his fate. Instead, he took the girl and escaped from the confines of his family, which can be considered as daring to fight against feudal ideology.

Wang Tianxiao didn't think that what he did hurt the old lady's feelings. Judging from the current situation, this family must not have given Shi Huanhuan, their daughter, a kind look on a normal day.

Even Wang Tianxiao's mother, Zhang Yufeng, never treated her children this way, let alone her mother-in-law, Qin Xiaoling, who was a virtuous mother.

If it were an ordinary person, he would just laugh it off when he heard about such things. There are many injustices in the world, and he is not a god, so he can't care about so many things.

But since this happened right here in my neighborhood, I have no choice but to do something about it.

Firstly, he admired the relationship between Wu Qiancai and Shi Huanhuan.

Secondly, he couldn't stand the arrogant and domineering manner of Shi Huanhuan's parents' brothers.

Thirdly, if this matter can be resolved, Wu Qiancai and Shi Huanhuan will surely regard me as their great benefactor and will be wholeheartedly devoted to doing things here.

This is what is meant by "killing three birds with one stone".

In any case, this should be addressed.

"Alright, now that we know the complicated process, let's get to the problem. I'll say it again: you didn't come here today to cause trouble, you must want to get something out of me, right?"

Wang Tianxiao looked at the old lady; among these people, she was clearly the one making the decisions.

In families where the woman is stronger than the man, the children tend to be more unruly, and the man gradually loses his status at home.

"Are you really going to get involved in this?" the old lady asked, half-believing.

"Of course, otherwise why would I stop you? Let's get straight to the point. All this fuss is just to gain some benefits. Since we've already torn off the mask, there's no need to hide anything anymore. Just bring it up directly."

"I'm taking my daughter home," the old woman said.

Wu Qiancai immediately became very anxious, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Wang Tianxiao. His meaning was clear: anything was acceptable, except for taking Shi Huanhuan away.

Wang Tianxiao told him with his eyes not to worry, that he would take care of it.

He smiled at the old lady and said, "Say it again."

"ah?"

"What I mean is, skip this probing process and you can go straight to your terms."

"These are our conditions."

No, this is not it.

Wang Tianxiao pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Of course, we can also state our requirements first, which is that Shi Huanhuan is a free person, and it is their freedom to be with Wu Qiancai. You can't interfere with that. So whatever we talk about must be based on this. Otherwise, there's no point in talking about anything."

"I'm her mother, don't I have a right to control her?"

“Hehe,” Wang Tianxiao chuckled teasingly, “Mother is more than just a simple title. You have to act like a mother. But from what I’ve observed, you seem more like a creditor than a mother, a creditor who has almost driven her to the brink of despair.”

"I think you're just talking without any sense of the pain. You've never been a mother, so what are you saying? Did you raise my child or did I raise my child? Do I need you to teach me how to raise a child?"
