Bai Yajing gave Zhao Liang a look, and he immediately understood. He pushed aside the people who were trying to stop him and was about to run to the police station to report the incident.
"Don't go! Don't go! Husband, stop him!"
The woman knew he was going to call the police, so she quickly shouted for her family to stop him.
"Stop! Don't move!"
Her man reacted quickly and stepped forward to continue blocking her, but Zhao Liang was agile and nimble, and kicked him aside in a few moves.
"Ah!! Murder! Help!" When the family saw their son and husband being beaten, they cried and wailed.
Zhao Liang ignored him and left.
The neighbors watched from the courtyard wall, not daring to interfere rashly. Everyone knew who was who; how could the other families not know that his family had suddenly gained a little girl?
The gossipy aunties and grandmas were also discussing among themselves, "Did their family come looking for them?"
"What a tragedy! His son is an idiot and likes to hit people. He'll never be able to earn money or support a family. What family would want their daughter to jump into this fire pit?"
"I don't even know where they bought it!"
...
Qiao Yu, holding the child, stood behind Bai Yajing and the others. He was just a tech guy; he didn't have the skills of Bai Yajing and Ma Pingchuan at all!
Seeing that they hadn't noticed her, the woman quickly grabbed her son and ran over, sobbing.
"Husband! You're finally back! They say it's this girl's family, and they've come looking for us!"
"Why do you insist on taking the child away?" She rattled off a whole story, recounting everything that had just happened.
"What? Nonsense! This girl is clearly from the Ding family! We've never seen you in the Ding family before!"
Bai Yajing sized up the four adults in the family. The elderly couple both had fierce expressions and didn't look like good people at all.
The man is tall and burly, with the same fierce look; you can tell he's her biological son.
"Hey! I don't care who you are, this girl is my daughter-in-law whom my family bought for two hundred yuan, and you're not taking her away!"
Now that the woman has someone backing her up, she's starting to act all smug again.
Bai Yajing crossed her arms and snorted dismissively.
"It seems you didn't listen to a word I said!"
Ma Pingchuan rolled up his sleeves. "It's not that she didn't listen; she was just too confident and thought that as long as she said she was bringing back her daughter-in-law, no one would say anything."
Little did they know, current laws don't care about such self-deceptive nonsense. Arranged marriages for girls who are underage are illegal, and the marriages will not be legally valid.
The family across the street felt a chill run down their spines; that was indeed what they were thinking.
If things escalate, they can simply say it's the wife they brought home for their son...
Although the old woman in the house felt a little guilty after hearing these words, she still put on a fierce but inwardly weak face, put her hands on her hips, and began to curse.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business? Our family and the in-laws have already agreed on a dowry of two hundred yuan!"
At that price, what kind of woman couldn't we marry? If it weren't for pitiful treatment and abandonment by her relatives, we'd be at a loss! She's so skinny, practically useless!
The woman echoed her mother-in-law, "That's right! My family are all city people, we get government-subsidized food rations, what great conditions we have!"
"Still complaining about us? This girl gets all the good food and drink at my house, isn't that better than her bloodsucking, leech-like family back home?"
Bai Yajing rolled her eyes. "Since you have such good conditions but look down on my child, then fine, go marry someone else!"
What? You don't want to? Don't you have any idea what kind of fool your son is? If he could really marry a daughter from a good family, wouldn't you go and marry him?"
When the neighbors heard her insulting words, they covered their mouths and laughed so hard their shoulders shook.
Exactly! A fool, and a fool with violent tendencies at that, who would be so foolish as to marry him?
And they even look down on someone else's daughter! Pah! So shameless!
The burly man and his father both had ashen faces.
