"My dear wife, this is a bit unreasonable. Lanlan came here because she wanted to mention Xian Nier, so we could talk to her. Now that she is here, you blame me for your own mistakes."

"Actually, there is one more thing..." Zhou Nier listened to the quarrel between the two families, fearing that the Ma family would put the blame on her family again. Thinking about what happened that day, Zhou Nier interrupted the quarrel and continued

"When Nanqiao first saw Malan throw the watch on the ground, he was not very angry. He just scolded Malan a few words. It was because Malan was wrong and falsely accused others that Nanqiao got angry and called the police."

"False accusation? What false accusation?" Although Father Ma was not happy that he was interrupted, he still asked.

"The watches were given to Nanqiao by her uncle. There are three watches in total, one for each of Nanqiao and her two sisters-in-law. They were brought back from abroad. Ma Lan thought that Nanqiao's uncle could bring back all these watches from abroad for more than 3,000 yuan, so he might have a bad background. She said that he was a capitalist who fled abroad..."

"What's wrong with that?" Ma's mother was puzzled. In the early years, many capitalists were imprisoned in the farms in their village. Some of those capitalists' relatives fled abroad with their finances. It was normal for Ma Lan to question it like this.

In Ma's mother's opinion, Nanqiao was angry because of these words, but she was guilty. However, Ma's mother overlooked a key point... With an officer of Nanzhou's position in the family, how could there be a capitalist among the three generations of close relatives...

"The problem is... Nanqiao's father is the director of a steel plant, and his brother is a current military officer... Even the capitalist uncle that Ma Lan mentioned... is a diplomat sent by the government... Both of her sisters-in-law are leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and... Even Nanqiao's husband seems to have some background..." Zhou Nier thought about the recent rumors in the school and said them all at once. As for Sheng Yanchuan's ambiguous background, it was still Chaoyang's blessing...

As soon as Zhou Nier said this, the whole room fell silent. Even Ma's parents felt that Ma Lan's seven-day detention was a light punishment.

If they really wanted to mess with a family like this, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Nier to live there for a year or two. After all, if someone slanders and spreads rumors about someone who has made contributions to the country, the punishment will be severe, and it's definitely not something that can be dismissed with just a few words.

"Old Ma...just watch..." Zhou's father asked awkwardly. The resentment he had towards Nanqiao, the righteous man, had now completely disappeared.

He doesn't want to be pressed to death. If someone moves a finger, he will suffer.

People, facing this kind of crushing force, often don't even have the ability to resist

"Let's just leave it at that. Don't mention it again when we return to the village." Father Ma sighed. This was his daughter's problem. If he continued to hold the Zhou family accountable, he was afraid that even if he was the village party secretary, he would not be able to control it.

"Okay, then are you planning to wait for Lanlan to come out?" Zhou's father asked. Now that the matter had been settled, they wanted to go home. After all, staying here for one more day meant one more day's expenses. It would be better to go home early so that some money could be saved and they could also buy some more for their son's betrothal gift.

"Let's wait for her to come out." Father Ma sighed heavily again. There were only a few days left, so he might as well wait for her to come out and take her home directly.

"In that case, we will go back early tomorrow morning. Our family hasn't been well off these past two years, so we'd better save as much as possible." Zhou's father said it miserably, but Ma's father rolled his eyes at him, trying to play the victim to him.

But there was no point in them staying, so they waved their hands and said, "Go back, don't talk nonsense when you go back. If I hear some gossip, we two families will not talk about other things anymore in the future."

"Don't worry, we have been friends for so many years, and I have watched Lanlan grow up. Naturally, I will not do anything that will damage her reputation." Zhou's father said this, but he was muttering in his heart.

His son insisted on marrying Malan, so he secretly asked the police. Administrative detention would not leave a criminal record, but was such a girl really suitable for the family to marry? It seemed necessary to go back and test his son's attitude. If he insisted on marrying Malan, he was afraid that the family's life in the future would be miserable.

The more Zhou's father thought about it, the more upset he became. In the past, Ma Lan had always been arrogant in the village. He didn't expect that she would do such a thing after only one day in Shanghai. Maybe this was her nature. She just didn't like anything before.

No, no matter how much his son likes her, he can't marry such a woman into the family. It will ruin the reputation of the Zhou family. He also wanted to use Zhou Nier's college name to marry his son a daughter-in-law with good conditions. Ma Lan is no longer their first choice, but it would be a pity if the 200... is not used, Zhou's father thought secretly.

The two families had different thoughts. They said a few words indifferently and then went back to their rooms.

Zhou's father and mother took Zhou Ni'er back to the room. Zhou's father looked at Zhou Ni'er steadily until he saw that Zhou Ni'er was a little flustered. Then Zhou's father said

"That guy called Nanqiao is your roommate. You should have a good relationship with him. Your family will mail you some local specialties from time to time. You should give some to Nanqiao."

"Dad, people look down on me." Zhou Nier thought about Nanqiao's attitude towards her and felt that Zhou's father was doing this for no reason.

"If I ask you to send it, then send it. Children from this kind of family are surrounded by people who flatter them. If you can't impress the other party once or twice, then try a few more times. With more times, the relationship will naturally not be too bad." When Zhou's father heard that Zhou Ni'er was unwilling, he immediately scolded her.

Seeing Zhou's father's attitude, Zhou Nier didn't dare to say that she and Nanqiao didn't have a good relationship, so she could only nod reluctantly. Compared to this, she was more worried that Zhou's father would expect her to curry favor with Nanqiao to find a way out for her brother...
