"It's just in time that you're back. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my crops?" Jiang Xue crossed her arms.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai realized that he was there to demand compensation. She retorted, "Get as far away as you can. Why should I compensate you for your things?"
Seeing that the whole family was the same kind of people, Jiang Xue said, "Fine, then I'll go call the police right now. Do you think you're in the right to damage other people's property?"
Jiang Xue rushed into the city without hesitation after speaking, with Ji Chen following behind her.
"Jiang Xue, how about we just forget about it? We haven't starved to death even if we don't grow our own food every year, have we?"
Ji Chen felt a little guilty because they were Jiang Xue's biological parents, even though she had said that the original Jiang Xue was long dead. She still felt guilty because her body and hair came from them.
“Aren’t we getting a divorce anyway? The permits for the hills and bamboo forests over there have all been approved, so we can get a divorce now. Once we’re divorced, you have nothing to do with them.”
Jiang Xue wasn't going to tolerate those vampires. Why should they act so arrogantly towards others?
When Ji Chen heard Jiang Xue bring up divorce again, he frowned and asked, "You still want a divorce now?"
Jiang Xue hurried towards the city on her own. "Didn't we agree from the beginning? Once those things are settled, we'll get a divorce. And since you gave me the foundation for the vegetable garden, I'll give you a piece of mountain land in return. That way, we'll be even."
Seeing that Ji Chen was standing there, unwilling to move forward, Jiang Xue said, "I will still take care of the children. I still like both children very much. It's just that we won't interfere with each other's marriages in the future."
Ji Chen's face had long since turned ashen. Seeing that Jiang Xue had absolutely no feelings for him, he instantly recalled Gu Xiaohei's words: he had been too good to her, making her feel that he was too easy to get.
He was seething with anger, so he accompanied Jiang Xue to the supervisory bureau. After explaining the situation, the police took the two of them back to Xie Chunmei's house.
"Mom, it looks like she really called the police." Looking out the window, they saw a police car approaching.
"That worthless piece of trash, she's really heartless." Xie Chunmei's harsh eyes seemed to want to tear Jiang Xue to pieces.
"Did you deliberately destroy other people's crops?"
Faced with the police's questioning, Jiang Lai immediately cowered, but Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng didn't care. She pulled Jiang Lai into her arms, saying, "Keep your voices down, don't scare my son."
Jiang Xue's lips twitched when she saw this; even protecting one's own has its limits.
"Either pay us 400 yuan in compensation, or come with us to the bureau."
Faced with the police's serious expression, Xie Chunmei realized they were serious. "This young man raped my daughter back then, and this good-for-nothing is unfilial to her parents and doesn't give us any money for our old age. Why aren't you arresting them, but instead arresting us?"
Jiang Xue shook her head. "Police officer, we fell in love freely back then. She sold me to that old geezer and didn't agree to our marriage, so she's slandering my husband."
"And if I am not filial, it is because they are not worthy of my filial piety. At most, I will be subject to moral condemnation."
"They are a young couple who fell in love freely, what are you all shouting about? Either pay compensation and settle privately, or come with us."
The police were clearly getting impatient. As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes; they only care about things that are damaged and require compensation.
"I don't want to go with you." Xie Chunmei trembled with fear.
"Then pay up, no discussion." The police's attitude was becoming increasingly uncompromising.
"I won't go... I won't go..." Xie Chunmei grabbed Jiang Chunsheng, shouting and crying. She had never encountered such a thing before, and she was so scared that she almost lost her mind.
