After saying that, the man waved his hand, signaling his men to demolish the house.
Several burly men were about to rush into the house, but Zhang Guihua panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Wait a minute, why are you smashing up our house? You need to give us a reason!"
The burly man turned around, looking at Zhang Guihua with disdain, and sneered, "Why? You still have the nerve to ask why? Don't you know what you've done? Huh?"
The man raised his voice at the last word, startling Zhang Guihua so much that she involuntarily shrank back.
Zhang Guihua took a step back, but still felt unwilling. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Big...Big Brother, I really don't know. Could you give me a hint?"
"Need a hint? Zhang Guihua, do you know why now?" A voice came from outside the door.
Outside the black car, a pair of shiny leather shoes touched the ground first, and a two-hundred-pound fat man got out of the car. The fat man's dark face was shiny with oil. Who else could it be but Zhao Gang?
Behind Zhao Gang were several men in their forties and fifties, whose faces resembled Zhao Gang's; they were clearly his elders.
Among them was a middle-aged man in a wheelchair, with a messy beard and looking very unkempt.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Mang turned pale and instinctively shrank back, leaning against the cold wall, and couldn't help but shiver.
“Zhao…Zhao Gang?” Zhang Guihua rubbed her eyes, her terrified gaze instantly turning into joy.
Then she ran over, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhao! If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared food and waited for you at home. Look, your arrival was so sudden, we weren't prepared at all. Come, come... come inside quickly, it's cold outside! Please sit down first, I'll go cook a few more dishes!"
As Zhang Guihua spoke, she enthusiastically reached out to grab his arm, completely forgetting who had tried to vandalize their house.
Zhao Gang snorted coldly, flicked his arm, and Zhang Guihua fell heavily to the ground.
"Zhang Guihua, if you're not sincere, don't introduce your daughter to me! You took the bride price, but now you don't want your daughter to marry? Do you think I'm a sucker?"
Zhang Guihua looked bewildered. "What?"
Zhao Gang stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Guihua by the collar, and lifted her up. "What are you pretending for? I spent 500,000 yuan to buy your daughter because she's educated, good-looking, and a virgin. What? You've already taken the money, but you won't even let me touch her? What do you mean by this!"
After saying that, Zhao Gang threw Zhang Guihua on the ground again.
Zhang Guihua got up from the ground and went over Zhao Gang's words in her mind. So it was because of Qiu Mang. She knew it. That naughty girl was up to no good and had caused her trouble again!
Zhang Guihua's eyes were fierce. She turned around and went into the house. She grabbed Qiu Mang's arm and pulled her in front of Zhao Gang with a respectful expression.
"Xiao Zhao, just take her away. Since I've taken your money, she's your wife now. You can do whatever you want with her!"
Qiu Mang looked at her mother in disbelief, her eyes filled with terror. She tried to pull her hand away, but her mother held on tightly, making it impossible for her to move.
Zhao Gang glanced at the two faces, then laughed, his eyes full of mockery. "No need! I was willing to pay this price back then because she was naive and had never had a boyfriend. But things are different now. She's no longer innocent, so I don't want this woman anymore. This marriage is off. Give me back the 500,000!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu's mother's smile froze, and she said awkwardly, "Is there some misunderstanding? Our Amang has never had a boyfriend, let alone lost her innocence."
Zhao Gang sneered, "Really? Then why don't you take her to the hospital for a checkup? To see if I've wronged her?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Qiu Mang, his eyes filled with betrayal and hatred. "Ask your daughter yourself, which wild man was she fooling around with last night? The two of them were playing too intensely, to the point that they had to go to the hospital!"
As Zhao Gang spoke, a vein bulged on his fat forehead, revealing his anger.
Last night, after Qiu Mang escaped, he knocked on several doors on the rooftop. Later, someone complained about him, and he was forcibly taken away from the rooftop by security guards, which gave Qiu Mang the opportunity to be with another man.
A crowd of villagers had gathered in front of the Qiu family's house, all staring at Qiu Mang in astonishment. They couldn't believe that the usually well-behaved and sensible Qiu Mang would do such a thing.
Zhang Guihua glanced around and saw that all the neighbors were there. She immediately felt that she had lost face. She turned to look at Qiu Mang, hoping that she would explain, but she saw that Qiu Mang had her eyes half-lowered and did not say a word.
Zhang Guihua knew that this was probably true. Enraged, she slapped him.
Qiu Mang felt her head buzzing, her face burning, and a metallic taste rising in her mouth. She reached up and wiped her mouth, only to see a smear of red on her fingertip.
"You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy? I finally found you a good family, and you turn around and cheat on me with another man. Don't you have any shame?" Zhang Guihua roared.
Qiu Mang gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face. She had a bellyful of grievances she wanted to express, but the words seemed to be sealed shut, and she couldn't utter a single one.
Over the years, Qiu Mang has been completely suppressed by Zhang Guihua. At first, she would resist, but later, whenever she tried to explain or resist, she would be beaten. In the end, in order to avoid being beaten, she would subconsciously obey Zhang Guihua whenever she faced her.
Zhang Guihua was quite satisfied with her obedience, but she didn't expect that this time, the girl seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and refused to compromise on the matter of Zhao Gang.
The thought that Qiu Mang's affair would be known by the neighbors and that he would be laughed at, along with the thought of the 500,000 yuan, made Zhang Guihua so angry that she slapped Qiu Mang twice more.
Zhao Gang crossed his arms and sat on a stool to the side. "Alright, you can hit this bitch later. First, transfer the 500,000 yuan I gave you!"
When the mention of 500,000 yuan was mentioned, Zhang Guihua's face darkened. She glanced at Qiu Hongwei sitting at the dining table and looked troubled.
After a long pause, he finally stammered, "Zhao, Zhao Gang, we've already used that 500,000 to buy a house for my son, so we can't come up with it now."
Zhao Gang grinned, his crow's feet deep enough to trap a mosquito. His tone seemed to be negotiating, but it carried a strong sense of pressure: "Can't produce it? What do we do then?"
Qiu Heping looked at Zhang Guihua and asked in a low voice, "How about we let Hongwei sell the house?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Hongwei panicked and immediately stood up, "Dad! We can't sell it!"
Zhang Guihua glared at Qiu Heping, "Sell what? If the house is sold, how will Hongwei get married? You can't sell it!"
“But…” Qiu Heping glanced at Zhao Gang, and then he was at a loss.
If we sell the house and pay back the 500,000 yuan, everything will be fine, except that my son will have no hope of getting married.
But if they don't sell, this gentleman in front of them probably won't let their family have a good life.
Qiu Heping was conflicted. He thought that all of this was because Qiu Mang had been having an affair with another man and ruined the marriage, which led to the current situation. He couldn't help but start to resent Qiu Mang.
Zhao Gang lit a cigarette and leisurely watched the Qiu family. Seeing that Qiu's parents and Qiu Hongwei were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, he smiled and slowly said, "Well? Have you thought it through? If you don't want to pay back the money, I have another suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
