You're a perfectly normal young man, breaking into someone's house at night, that's just not right.

Xie Shengnan suddenly looked up at He Ping'an and asked, "Has she said anything to you these days? Does she want to marry into our family?"

She's quite cunning; in order to avoid going to the countryside, she wants you to take over.

"Let me tell you, if you want to marry Zhou Xiaolan, then you'd better leave this house and see if you can rent a place outside or move into the dormitory."

He Ping'an didn't want to choose either option. If this had happened a year ago, he would have readily agreed, since he really liked Zhou Xiaolan back then.

But so much has happened in between, unless he's stupid, he would never marry Zhou Xiaolan, a wife who represents trouble.

In that situation this morning, shouldn't normal parents have grabbed him and given him a beating first? But the Zhou family made such a big fuss about it; isn't that just trying to extort money from them?

Even if they were fighting, they kept demanding compensation for this and that, and asking for a huge dowry. But their family didn't have Jiang Yi's resources to make such exorbitant demands.

"What's the use of saying all this now? Your stupid son has been tricked by others," He Laicai said, squinting at the closed door with a sinister look.

"Now the whole compound knows that your son sneaked into someone's room in the middle of the night. Even if we were willing to settle this privately, it's impossible."

If your son is unwilling to marry her, what if he becomes a fugitive? Can our family withstand that?

And you all saw how vicious that girl was. Zhiping's wife didn't provoke her or provoke her, but look at the way she opened the door, it was clearly aimed at someone else.

Now you'd better pray that Hua's granddaughter-in-law and the baby in her belly are alright, otherwise our whole family will suffer Hua's wrath. Tian Guihua is not someone to be trifled with.

Xie Shengnan couldn't sit still any longer. "What does this have to do with us? It was Zhou Xiaolan who went to the Hua family, and it was Zhou Xiaolan who hurt people. We should really go and find the Zhou family."

"Dad, shall we go out and take a look?" He Pinghe was a little uneasy. He had witnessed Tian Guihua's ruthlessness last time. This time, the family should not lose money again. They had already incurred some debts for his younger brother's job. If they borrowed more, when would he be able to get married?

The thought just crossed my mind when I remembered something else: "Grandpa Liu came over earlier and asked us to take the person to the hospital. Is it okay if we don't show up?"

I wonder if they've been sent away yet? If something really happens, that would be two lives lost..."

The family stayed at home, afraid to go out and find out what was going on. They were filled with anxiety and guilt, which made He Ping feel particularly bad. He should have known better than to ask his colleague to help him ask for leave. Even if he had gone to the factory, it would have been better than staying here with his family without any clue.

“It’s too late to say all this now,” He Laicai, who had previously stopped his family from showing up, now felt extremely regretful. He was afraid of getting into trouble, so his family hid at home. How could he have done such a foolish thing?

Right, he saw Zhou Xiaolan run away, and the Zhou family ran away. In a moment of confusion, he followed them home.

The Zhou family has really done a lot of harm, leading them all astray.

It had nothing to do with their family in the first place, but now that they've run away, they're feeling guilty. Who knows how the compound will view their family in the future?

All those years of good reputation are now completely ruined!

Just then, the family seemed to hear shouts and curses coming from the Zhou family's direction, and the He family members all shuddered... They're here...

As she cursed, Tian Guihua pounded on the Zhou family's door with a stick, shouting, "Zhou Xiaolan, come out here! Don't think that just because you've harmed someone, you can hide and get away with it!"

"I'm telling you, so many eyes are watching. Don't think we'll let you get away with this wickedness."

None of the Zhou family members dared to answer. In the past, Tian Guihua had only used insults, but this time she was carrying a weapon. Hearing the loud knocking of a stick at the door, no one dared to utter a word of defense or explanation.

No neighbors intervened to mediate, and many of them witnessed the whole thing and felt that the Zhou family deserved it.

Tian Guihua banged on the door, but the people inside pretended to be dead and didn't say a word, which made the neighbors look down on them even more.

You should at least have some attitude when you do things. Do you think you can just back down like this and let things go?

Seeing that Tian Guihua had been cursing for a long time, some neighbors came over to advise her, "Why don't you take a break? They won't be out for a while."

A person standing here cursing is just arguing with himself.

Tian Guihua looked at the tightly closed door with a sneer and said, "If they have the guts, they'd better keep the door closed and not come out. I want to see how long they can endure it."

Everyone thought Tian Guihua was going to confront the Zhou family, and they all felt it was a bit of a waste. The Zhou family was shameless, and even if Tian Guihua kept cursing for days, she would only end up hurting herself.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Hua Guangzong came over with two big hats on his head. "It was this family who came to our door when we weren't home and injured my granddaughter-in-law, almost causing the death of both mother and child. Many neighbors saw it."

The neighbors, who were just watching the drama unfold, were speechless. The Hua family had really been holding back a big move this time, but they didn't sympathize with the Zhou family either. So many people had begged them to help get the person to the hospital, but these people had shirked their responsibilities...

The Zhou family could no longer hide; the entire family was taken away...

The He family had been on tenterhooks listening to the commotion, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief as the courtyard quieted down.

Hua Zhiping put a large bowl of chicken soup he brought from home on the table. "If you encounter something like this in the future, stay away from them. They are all people who are not mentally sound."

Thinking about it now still makes me a little scared. If it weren't for the help of my neighbors, I wouldn't dare to think about it so much.

“It’s partly my fault,” Tian Guihua said, having just fed the baby some water and gently patting his back. “If I had closed the door when we left, Zhou Xiaolan wouldn’t have been able to get in.”

Li Lijuan said, "Grandma, this is not your fault at all. The other party clearly had malicious intent."

Li Lijuan isn't blind; she could easily see that Zhou Xiaolan did it on purpose. She didn't know what Zhou Xiaolan had done to offend her, but she saw the intense hatred in her eyes.

"No matter what, Zhou Xiaolan's reputation is ruined now. It will even be recorded in her file, and she can forget about working in the factory in the future. She probably won't even be able to get a temporary job." Hua Zhiping gritted his teeth, feeling that this punishment was too lenient. This person should be locked up for a while before she would learn her lesson.

Tian Guihua said, "I think this is just right. Otherwise, even if we make a fuss and get some compensation, what good will it do? We still won't be able to get rid of this anger."

By putting that mark on her file now, she'll have ruined her future.
