"I want to break off the relationship!"
"Second brother?!" Old Mrs. Song Liu Lanhua screamed.
Du Xiaoying also looked at the man striding towards her in the sunlight in shock, her heart beating fast, as if she was being illuminated by the August sunlight.
"Second brother, you, you are rebelling against the sky. You even want to break off the relationship and ignore your parents. You're dreaming!" Old Mrs. Song gritted her teeth, her face full of harshness and sourness.
"You are my son for the rest of your life, so you must respect me!"
Song Guoliang shook his head in disappointment. "Mom, what you and others did to my daughter, Daya, was a serious crime of human trafficking. Just because you are my family, I let you go time and time again, which only made you even more aggressive."
"Over the years, the money I sent home from the army was enough for you and Dad to retire. I can't bear to see you make the same mistakes again and again."
Du Xiaoying hurriedly grabbed the man's arm and spoke first, "Old lady, if you keep kissing me today, I don't mind killing my relatives for the sake of justice. The Public Security Bureau is not far away anyway."
"You, you...evil woman!" Old Mrs. Song was so angry that her hands and feet were shaking.
"I never thought this old lady was so evil that she would betray her own granddaughter."
"Tsk tsk tsk....a family full of wolves and tigers, this woman really has it tough."
"Comrade, we are all here to testify for you today. This old lady won't cooperate. Just tell me and I'll go to the Public Security Bureau for you."
Du Xiaoying forced an ugly smile and said, "Thank you."
"Sign! I sign!" Old Mrs. Song gritted her teeth, her triangular eyes spitting fire.
Seeing that the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and all three of them had put their fingerprints on the document, Du Xiaoying narrowed her eyes and hurriedly put the document away carefully.
The Song family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the opportunity to cover their faces and ran away in shame.
The leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative sighed and tried to comfort the couple.
Song Guoliang gave a wry smile. "It was my personal fault that affected the supply and marketing cooperative. I am willing to write a self-criticism."
"Xiao Song, no one wants something like this to happen, and it's certainly not caused by you and your wife. The most urgent thing is to heal your injuries and stop overthinking it."
Du Xiaoying wiped her eyes, revealing a face full of suffering. She bowed to the leaders and thanked them, "Thank you all leaders and comrades for your righteous words. Otherwise, our family would never be able to wash away the guilt today even if we jumped into the Yellow River."
.....
On the way back, Du Xiaoying held Wu Ya in her arms and paid attention to the expression of the man beside her. He was still cold and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Song Guoliang naturally noticed the worried look on his wife's face from time to time. He raised his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, my dear wife. I've let go of my partiality towards them over the years."
"real?"
Song Guoliang lowered his eyes, then raised them again with a faint smile in his deep eyes and curled his lips.
"When I was little, my parents always favored my eldest brother. Any good things at home would be given to him first. Whenever he was involved, my second sister and I would be beaten and scolded..."
"Now I just want to stay with you and the children for the rest of my life, but unfortunately—"
Du Xiaoying wondered why the man sighed, but she moved her lips but couldn't speak. She lowered her eyes guiltily.
"Wife, I will take good care of you and the children for the rest of my life and will never let the scene in my dream happen!"
"Yes, I believe you!" Du Xiaoying nodded heavily. "Let's work together to create a good life for the children."
....
"Mom, did the old ladies go to my dad's workplace to make trouble?" Erya rushed in, followed by Daya and her sisters who looked worried.
Du Xiaoying looked at her daughter's flushed face and asked, "How did you know?"
Erya stamped her feet anxiously, "Mom, don't worry about how I know this. I just want to know if my dad's work has been affected."
"With your parents here, they can't possibly succeed!" Du Xiaoying smiled comfortably, "Our family is now completely free of ties with the Song family."
Daya's eyes widened. "Mom, what do you mean?"
Seeing her daughters staring at her eagerly, Du Xiaoying raised an eyebrow. "It's exactly what it says. The engagement is broken off! The kind that's been signed in writing."
San Ya clapped her hands, "They are just like that - trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice!"
"Well, my Sanya is really amazing!"
San Ya scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled secretly with pursed lips.
Erya slammed the table and glared at him with her sparkling black eyes. "Mom, they're going too far! I'm going to start promoting them right now. I'm going to break their spines!"
"Erya--" Seeing her daughter running out in a flash, Du Xiaoying hurried out, worried that her daughter would suffer.
Here, Erya was knocking on the washbasin with one hand. The men, women, and children in the village were attracted by the noise and came to the village entrance, watching curiously.
"Erya, what are you knocking on?"
"Grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts, Erya has something to tell you today."
"Kid, you asked us to play house with you." Seeing this, a group of adults said and were about to go home.
Erya quickly raised her voice, "The Song family is shameless, but I, Song Erya, am not someone you can mess with!"
"That shameless Old Song tried to sell us out before but failed. After the family split up, he often made things difficult for us. Now he's so vicious that he wants to ruin my dad's job and even took it to the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"What? There's such a thing?"
"That's why I saw Old Lady Song and her daughter-in-law going into town the other day. I was wondering why they were going into town every day."
"Oh my, how can this old woman be so cruel? She ruined the second son's job. What good will it do to them? She is not ashamed to make her family's affairs known to others."
Erya was waiting for this sentence. She pinched her thigh secretly, her eyes red. "It's because they covet my dad's salary. They threaten that if my dad doesn't give them half of his salary every month for their retirement, they will..."
"The old couple of the Song family are still able to work, so why are they asking their children to start a retirement home?"
"Why else? I'm jealous."
"Luckily, the city leaders are very capable and didn't fall for their tricks. Besides, my dad was just hospitalized a few days ago to save supplies from a burning warehouse and had just been commended by his unit. Otherwise, they would have definitely succeeded."
"My parents were completely heartbroken, and in a fit of rage, they decided to sever ties with the Song family. They've signed a written agreement. Grandparents, uncles, and aunts, please help bear witness. My family will have no further ties with the Song family."
"this--"
"Let me be frank. The Song family is a bunch of worthless people..."
"What a wicked thing! He's been abusing the second child since he was little. The second child has a miserable life too. If he hadn't joined the army early, he might have ended up like his second sister..."
Listening to the crowd's cursing, Old Man Song, who was squatting at the back of the crowd, showed a vicious look. What a wolf cub!
Du Xiaoying watched as her daughter made the villagers angry and scold the Song family with just a few words, and then she felt relieved and rode her bicycle to pick up her husband from the hospital.
