Huang Guoqing couldn't stand it anymore. "He Jianian, are you even a man? You stole someone's meat and money, and when you were caught red-handed, you still tried to deny it. Can't you be more responsible? We went to the countryside together, after all. Do you think Song Yan would force you to your death? Instead, you're saying these nonsensical things. You just care about a woman's reputation, so you're making baseless accusations against Song Yan and ruining her reputation. Do you think she'll let you go just because she's scared? You're utterly disgraceful!"
"He forgot that Song Yan's marriage is a military marriage. If Song Yan's reputation is ruined, it's because he broke up the military marriage," Li Yuanzhao said coldly.
He Jianian was stuck. Song Yan's reputation was ruined; if she pursued the matter, would she still go to jail?
Cheng Youfu was young and didn't think of these things. Hearing Huang Guoqing's words, he was furious. He even thought that He Jianian would take someone down with him even if he died.
Cheng Youfu went up and slapped He Jianian across the face, which was already swollen and looked like it was about to burst open. Then he got punched in the stomach, and he bent over in pain.
"Stop it. It's not worth ruining your life if you kill him with a single punch like that." Song Yan pulled Cheng Youfu away.
The medicine He Jianian took, which was extremely cold and caused severe diarrhea, would have been easily cured by a few doses for someone as strong and healthy as Huang Guoqing. Even without medication, he could recover on his own within a year or two.
But He Jianian couldn't handle it; he had a congenital deficiency. The spleen is the foundation of postnatal health. Damaging his spleen and kidneys was like cutting off his very foundation. He would suffer from insomnia and palpitations at night, and be lethargic during the day. Any greasy or cold food would be difficult for his digestive system to process, resulting in stomach aches or diarrhea. He was in for a rough time. But that wasn't the worst part. He… Wu Meili lost her sexual happiness. May their lives be lively and fulfilling…
"Captain, let's take him to the police station!" Cheng Yousuo said.
Captain Wu really wanted to send He Jianian to the police station and have him go to jail. He'd rather he spent his whole life there, but before he could even speak, Wu Meili tugged at his sleeve. "Dad, Dad, please think of me, please think of me! Dad!"
What kind of thing did he give birth to?! Can someone like He Jianian even be married? But the girl is already pregnant, what can he do? And is this something he can do as he pleases? The brigade leader opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Song Yan had no intention of sending them to prison. Sending Wu Meili to prison and pushing Captain Wu too far wasn't worth it. He Jianian went to prison. He got out in a few years, just in time for a good era. He could find a place where no one knew him and start over. How could he not suffer the criticism and humiliation he deserved?
These past few years have confined him to a small mountain village, making him the subject of gossip and judgment. He's been trampled underfoot by the very farmers he despises most. Everyone calls him a thief. And being with Wu Meili is torture for him too. Doesn't He Jianian hate Wu Meili for what happened today? But he still depends on her; no matter how much he hates her, he can only grovel before her.
This punishment is nothing compared to what he did.
Besides, avoiding jail time isn't so easy. You'd have to offer Song Yan satisfactory terms first!
Song Yan felt the time was right. She tugged at Cheng Youfu and whispered to him, "Have your older brother chase everyone away."
Cheng Yousuo started chasing people away, and Captain Wu had to remember this favor he had done for him.
…
"Sister-in-law! My own daughter is hopeless. I'm too ashamed to ask her for help. But I can't just watch her life be ruined." Captain Wu knew that Aunt Wei was the easiest to talk to.
Over the years, Captain Wu had indeed treated her family well, and the old lady felt obligated to help. However, she also felt that agreeing immediately would be a loss. The old lady looked at Song Yan; ever since her son left home, she had been more inclined to listen to her daughter-in-law. Song Yan was decisive and wouldn't suffer any losses. If it were her, it would be a different story. The old lady remained silent for a long time.
Song Yan wasn't in a hurry; the brigade leader was mistaken. Did his mother-in-law's agreement equate to his own? What a joke!
The brigade leader was only planning to give it a try, but seeing that Sister-in-law Wei didn't speak, he turned to Song Yan. "Young Master Song, I really have no choice but to help my own daughter. I'm begging you to spare her. If she dares to cause you any more trouble, I'll break her legs myself."
“The captain has quite the nerve. I let her off last time. But she didn’t learn her lesson and this time she’s gone even further. Just like that!” Song Yan pointed at He Jianian. “What do I see in him? Wu Meili, only someone as blind and heartless as you would think he’s a good person.”
He Jianian was completely stunned. Was this how Song Yan saw her? No, no, she… He Jianian seemed to understand now that her belief that Song Yan loved her, couldn't live without her, and could control her was all wishful thinking! When did Song Yan start to become like this? And what about the steamed buns and dumplings?
Wu Meili stared wide-eyed at Song Yan, who had actually belittled He Jianian to the point of worthlessness. Didn't she like He Jianian?
“Captain, I released Wu Meili out of respect for you. But what about him? Can you give me face again, Captain?” Song Yan asked He Jianian.
At this moment, He Jianian looked at Wu Meili pleadingly, and Wu Meili couldn't resist. She turned to look at her father pleadingly.
Captain Wu still had some pride. "Let's lock He Zhiqing up at the brigade headquarters first!" The captain wasn't stupid; he'd gotten his daughter out of jail by using his connections. His influence wouldn't work on He Jianian! Song Yan hadn't yet indicated he was determined to pursue the matter. But did he think he'd just get away with it for nothing? He Jianian had to find a way to avoid jail time. Did he expect me to spend money to get him out of jail?
If He Jianian goes to jail, then let Meili have an abortion, and she can find a divorced man and live a normal life.
Captain Wu: "Song, I, Wu Changsheng, remember your kindness!"... Being a leader after all, he said many nice things and then walked away.
