Mother Chen saw that her plan had been discovered, but she certainly couldn't admit it.
Although she is disappointed now, she still has to cheer up and deal with it. She still has an unmarried little daughter and she cannot be branded as someone who is plotting against her daughter's in-laws.
"My dear relatives, what are you plotting? How could my family plot against your daughter?
It was your daughter who stole things first, and she voluntarily compromised her job and marriage to make up for it. You are making trouble now simply because you don't want your daughter to marry you.
In fact, even if your daughter married into my family, I would still be worried because I am afraid that she would steal.
So if you really don't want to, forget about this marriage."
Ma Xiulan walked up to Chen's mother and grabbed her hair, then slapped her several times:
"You old bastard, you dare to call my daughter a thief.
My daughter is innocent, but your daughter wrongly accused her of being a thief.
After being wronged, you still ask for too much. Your family is so wicked. Those who want to marry into your family should be careful not to be eaten alive by the Chen family."
Mother Chen felt like she was seeing stars. She was beaten like this at the doorstep of her own home. She had lost all her dignity and face.
More importantly, she has an unmarried little daughter and is planning to find a good son-in-law like Zhao Xingjia.
Moreover, as an ordinary woman who stayed at home all year round, she could not match the strength of Ma Xiu Lan, a master chef who had been working in the canteen kitchen for twenty years and could stir-fry food in a twenty-jin iron pot.
The slaps just now made her teeth feel loose.
If she fought with Ma Xiu Lan, she would probably be hurt even more badly. So she decided to cry and pity and ask someone to ask her husband and son to come back and take charge of the matter.
She sat on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed, and pretending to be pitiful:
"In-laws, is there any misunderstanding?"
Ma Xiulan pushed Zhao Yang out:
"Under Chen Zhenzhen's guidance, this child lied with open eyes and slandered my daughter for stealing her things.
My family can't afford a vicious woman like Chen Zhenzhen."
The people who followed over from the state-owned restaurant told him everything that had just happened.
Zhao Yang realized that he had made a mistake, but he felt aggrieved because he had not yet eaten the braised pork he had been craving.
"Grandma and mom are both bad people. I told the truth, but grandma won't let me eat braised pork.
I followed my mother's instructions, but she still refused to let me eat the braised pork."
Mother Chen's eyes went dark. She really didn't know that Zhao Xingmin was wrongly accused of stealing by Chen Zhenzhen.
If she knew, she would definitely teach Chen Zhenzhen to clean up the mess, or at least take Zhao Yang to live with her until the matter was settled before returning to the Zhao family.
Now Ma Xiu Lan has caught him by the tail and is coming to beat him up.
Mother Chen thought about it and decided that she couldn't get a divorce. It would be hard to find a silly son-in-law like Zhao Xingjia who was devoted to her family.
What's more, Zhao Youcai and Ma Xiu Lan both have high salaries, and they will be their daughter and son-in-law in the future, so the in-laws' conditions are pretty good.
Mother Chen smiled and lowered her posture:
"You hit Baoshun and me today, too. Baoshun and I won't pursue the matter. I'll apologize to you on behalf of our children, and we'll let this matter pass. As adults, we should always be more tolerant of children."
Zhao Xingjia felt relieved after hearing this, as his mother-in-law had suffered for the sake of their family.
Unlike my own mother, who started beating me yesterday and now has to bring so many people to the Chen family to make trouble, without giving me and Zhenzhen any face at all.
He looked at Ma Xiu Lan. Now his mother should be satisfied. He beat his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law apologized to him.
Ma Xiulan sneered in her heart.
Chen's mother is the best at dealing with people. In her previous life, Zhao Xingjia and Chen Baozhu's son-in-law competed to see how good they were to Chen's mother.
Although she felt uncomfortable, Chen Zhenzhen always said that Zhao Xingjia was so filial to his mother-in-law, so he must be even more filial to his biological mother.
I worked like a slave and gave so much, but I didn't expect that this filial couple would send me to prison.
Ma Xiulan looked at Chen's mother, who looked as if it would be unreasonable for her to pursue the matter further.
"Chen Baoshun was beaten because he behaved like a hooligan, chasing after young girls with pouty lips and even calling for his wife to give birth. A beating was the least of his worries. I had to send him to the police station.
You were beaten because Chen Zhenzhen framed and spread rumors about my daughter. Didn't you say that adults should be tolerant of children? If you don't take responsibility for the mistakes your child makes, who will?
I'm so generous as not to pursue the matter. Do you think of yourself as a victim?
You are obviously the beneficiary, yet you pretend to be innocent.
Didn’t your eldest daughter-in-law take the job at my textile factory?
Chen Zhenzhen didn't frame my daughter and spread rumors that she was a thief, and forced my daughter to give her a job at the supply and marketing cooperative. So why did she marry that idiot from your family?"
When Chen's mother heard that Ma Xiulan wanted to report the case, she screamed in panic: "You can't report it."
Chen Zhenzhen was also shocked. Hooliganism is a serious crime and the person would be sentenced to labor reform if not executed.
She quickly pulled Zhao Xingjia's arm and looked at him pitifully.
Ma Xiu Lan knew this would be the result, so she secretly asked Niu Zhaozhao to report the case to avoid being stopped by the Chen family for a long time.
Zhao Xingjia quickly spoke up: "Mom, we are all family. Besides, Baoshun had a fever when he was a child and his brain was damaged. He is just a fool. We should not bother with a fool."
Ma Xiulan slapped him directly:
"Fool? A fool can commit a crime? If I had known you would be like this, I would have burned you stupid when you were a child and then instigated you to commit a crime. That way, we would both benefit."
"However, you did remind me that I can sue Chen's mother for incitement to crime."
"Thank you."
Zhao Xingjia didn't expect that his words of persuasion would not only not give up, but would become even more aggressive and wanted to send his mother-in-law to jail as well.
"Let go, the police are coming."
Niu Zhaozhao trotted back.
Chen's mother didn't expect that Ma Xiu Lan had already asked someone to call the police over.
Damn Ma Xiu Lan, she called the police for such a small matter.
Unexpectedly, Ma Xiu Lan was already crying as she greeted the three policemen from the police station.
"Comrade, my daughter was so frightened that she wanted to commit suicide. If you hadn't come, she really wouldn't have survived."
Zhao Xingmin listened to Ma Xiulan's words and instantly understood what her mother meant.
He was already frightened, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked miserable. He was about to ram into the wall in despair.
"I don't want to live anymore, let me die."
The younger police officer Zhang quickly stopped Zhao Xingmin who had already rushed out.
Mother Chen looked at the mother and daughter who were better actors than her.
"Comrade, if she wanted to commit suicide, why didn't she do it just now? Now that you're here, she's trying to commit suicide..."
Before he could finish what he was saying, Ma Xiulan interrupted him excitedly.
"Look, she taught her son to bully my daughter, and now she's still angry that my daughter won't die. You're trying to force my daughter to death in front of the police."
Zhao Xingmin, who had just been persuaded, was about to bang his head against the wall again.
Officer Zhang was so scared that he grabbed Zhao Xingmin's arm tightly.
Seeing the victim being provoked again, Captain Wang stepped forward and restrained Chen's mother:
"If you continue to talk and provoke the victim, your son will be punished more severely."
Mother Chen wanted to speak but didn't dare. She felt as aggrieved as a turtle.
