"No, no, no, don't." Xia Ri shook her head violently. The pain in her body made it impossible for her to stand up. She could only crawl slowly over, her expression a mixture of fear and regret.
"I'm already this old. If you bring up divorce now, how am I supposed to live?"
"For so many years, you've been the center of my life, and I've taken care of everything for you. If you drive me away, neither of us will be happy. Chengjun, don't be impulsive. Your wife is the one who will be with you for life."
Han Chengjun shook his head: "I've never been particular about things in life, and I can gradually adapt to those things, but continuing to be with you is mental torture for me."
“When Han Meng gets out of prison, I will pay her a full amount of child support. My mind is made up, and no matter what you say, you can’t change my mind.”
"No, I don't agree. Your wife and children are your responsibility. You can't just abandon us like this. Otherwise, you're a heartless and irresponsible man."
"When you were educating Han Meng, didn't you focus on these things the most? How come it's changed now? Han Chengjun, you can't even be consistent yourself, so why do you hold us to such high standards?"
"You think you're so much better than us? Actually, you're just like us."
"Do you think you can distance yourself from us by severing ties? No, you deserve half the credit for having such a daughter, so you don't need to look at me like that."
Han Chengjun was determined to get a divorce, and Xia Ri had no chance at all. She was going all in...
She turned and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with resentment, pointing her finger at her.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, you are a vicious woman. Our family has become like this because of you."
“I hate them so much right now. How could those two be so useless? They didn’t kill you and the child, but instead let you hang around here.”
"Now you've torn our family apart, are you satisfied? It's all your fault, everything is your fault. If it weren't for you, our family would still be fine."
"Slap, slap." The answer to Xia Ri was the sound of Han Qiushi's slap, along with a blatant threat: "If you dare say another word to my wife, you'll never have a peaceful day again."
Han Qiushi was still angry and didn't hold back at all. He slapped Xia Ri to the ground, knocking her speechless.
"Han Qiushi!!"
The Xia family's connections aren't as strong as the Han family's, but they still have their dignity. Being repeatedly humiliated by a junior is a disgrace to their own family.
Xia's father, the old man, rushed in front of Xia Ri to block him and shouted at the crowd.
“Your family are all public servants, but how are you any different from bandits in your behavior today?”
"Grandpa, is this how you teach your children? The younger generation has repeatedly laid a hand on their elders."
Old Master Han sneered: "Manners? That depends on who you're talking to. Your family members are trying to kill someone, and you want us to talk about manners!"
"You should be glad this is a good era. Otherwise, back when I was killing Japanese devils, I was a fierce old man and could have shot you bunch of bastards in the head."
The usually quiet father finally spoke up: "Alright, alright, what's the point of talking to these vicious beasts? If you say too much, they'll just use their usual sophistry to deal with you."
"That would be beneath you."
As soon as Mr. Han spoke, the Han family members withdrew their hands, feeling that he was right. What was the point of arguing with unreasonable people? They had never been reasonable in their lives, and their family could not compete with them in terms of experience over the years.
Kong Xi watched from the sidelines, feeling great sympathy for Han Chengjun, but also thinking that Lin Xiaoxiao was even more unlucky. None of her rivals outside had threatened to kill Lin Xiaoxiao and her child, yet she was being schemed against by her own family.
Seeing that it was almost done, Kong Xi was about to call someone to take the person back. The evidence had been obtained, and the next step was the process of conviction.
Xia's father and mother tried their best to stop them from taking him away.
The people in the room loathed them and had no reason to help. The police officers in charge of escorting the people had a general understanding of the situation and also had a very bad impression of the two old geezers. When they saw the two old geezers coming to stop them, they all forcefully blocked them away.
Xia Ri and Han Meng were sent to detention under everyone's watchful eyes, awaiting trial before being assigned to different prisons.
The two old men of the Xia family, seeing that their own family member was going to be in jail, walked out with long faces and downcast eyes. After all, their daughter and granddaughter were a step behind, but they had to find a good way to get their son out.
"Don't leave!"
"Is this your family? You got my child into the hospital, and you think you can just walk away like that? Pay up!"
The two old men looked at the speaker, only to see two women walking over.
The woman in front was wearing a faded white dress, while the woman behind her looked much younger and was dressed quite well. The two women were quite different, if not for their similar facial features.
Everyone present was suspicious; one was a young lady, and the other was a maid.
"Who are you, auntie? If you're trying to extort money, don't you even know where you are?" Xia's mother snapped at her aunt with a sharp and sarcastic expression.
Our family is several levels below the Han family, but these two people look like peasants.
There's no need to be polite when talking to peasants.
The people around them were puzzled by the conversation. Bai Hehua and Han's father had their own guesses, and when they looked at Han Qiulin, they saw Han Qiulin nod.
Mr. Han and Bai Hehua wanted to go up and have a good chat with the person, since their daughter had saved their daughter-in-law and grandson, they should at least express their gratitude.
However, they were quickly stopped by Han Qiushi and Han Qiulin.
Han Qiushi witnessed it firsthand; this younger sister was no pushover. Li Qiutang also mentioned that the family favored her younger sister.
If family members rush up there rashly, it might cause trouble for Li Qiutang.
Seeing that she and her mother were being looked down upon like this, Li Jiabao was very indignant: "Old woman, watch your mouth! My sister was beaten up like that by you, you should pay compensation right now!" After saying that, she pinched her mother.
"Get out of here! I have no idea what you're talking about. What money are you talking about?"
Sensing her daughter's reminder, Li's mother immediately started slapping her thigh and shouting, "My poor daughter! Her tailbone is fractured, she can't go to work, and there are hospital bills to pay. Our whole family depends on her salary."
"You're not giving us anything; this is taking our lives!"
"The police are right here, comrades, you be the judge! Shouldn't they compensate us for what they did to people like this?" The two of them had just finished their spiel when they turned to Han Qiushi and Han Qiulin standing to the side.
