Deng Shangwei said he would call the police, but the Deng family disagreed.
It's not worth calling the police for such a small matter. When there are conflicts between neighbors in the countryside, they can curse each other for days, but I've never seen anyone alarm the police.
The Deng family miscalculated.
This is the provincial capital. Deng Shangwei has washed off the mud on his trouser legs. He is not a country idler, so he has no time to quarrel with the Deng family.
More than ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene and the Deng family was dumbfounded.
"Are you really calling the police?"
Just call the police.
What's wrong with my biological parents, older sister and younger brother coming to see Deng Juan?
Deng Shangwei couldn't hand over Deng Juan, and the Deng family refused to leave even if they beat him to death.
The drunkard Deng's father cursed and said that Deng Shangwei was "rich but unkind". The child in Sister Deng's arms started crying loudly, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
"Hey, don't go any further, or you'll get harassed!"
"I know, I know. I won't go over there. I'll just take a look."
The guard told Wen Ying not to come any closer, and Wen Ying nodded in agreement, but in fact she was watching with great interest.
How could the security guard know that this farce was a rare material in Wen Ying's eyes. Xie Qian was absolutely right. Writers should observe life more.
Wen Ying had rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with people of Deng Juan's father's level before.
After watching for a while, Wen Ying figured out the trick. The Deng family members all had very interesting personalities.
For example, the drunkard is now yelling at Deng Shangwei to compensate for his daughter, but in fact he is just a coward, and the louder he shouts, the more he is bluffing.
The police also felt that Deng Shangwei looked more like a normal person, and he was the one who called the police. The police first asked Deng Shangwei about the situation. Deng Shangwei said that Deng Juan had been a nanny in his home for several years, and now she felt that the nanny's income was a little low and wanted to change jobs. As an employer, he could not force her to stay.
"My salary has been paid in full. I don't owe Deng Juan a cent. How would I, her former employer, know why she didn't go home for the Lunar New Year?"
When the police heard that Deng Juan had not lost contact and that her family had been able to reach her by phone before arriving in Chengdu, they frowned and asked, "Your daughter isn't missing. Who are you looking for?"
The Deng family members were talking about it, saying that Deng Juan was hidden by Deng Shangwei.
As for why they hid it... the Deng family hesitated and couldn't give a reason.
The crying child gave the Deng family a headache. Sister Deng slapped the child on the butt to stop him from crying. With a sad face, she said to Deng Shangwei, "Brother Shangwei, please tell us where our youngest sister is. We are all very worried because we can't find her."
Deng Shangwei thought to himself: I should be anxious. Anyone would be anxious when a large sum of money is lost.
But Deng Juan is a living person, not a commodity.
Both sides held their own opinions, and more and more passers-by gathered to watch.
There are four adults in the Deng family, and Deng Shangwei only has one mouth. He cannot argue with four people and is at a disadvantage for a while.
Passersby who didn't know the truth looked at Deng Shangwei with strange eyes.
When one side is rich and the other side is poor, most people's first feeling when these two sides confront each other is that the poor are being bullied by the rich.
The police wanted to try to contact Deng Juan, so they called the mobile phone number provided by Deng's family and someone answered immediately.
"Deng Juan, are you Deng Juan?"
"yes……"
The police officer switched the call to public speaking mode and asked, "Where are you now? Your family can't find you and they're very worried. They've even gone to your former employer's house!"
When Sister Deng heard her sister's voice, she wanted to take the phone from the police officer and talk to him herself, but the police officer stared at her and Sister Deng shrank back.
On the other end of the phone, Deng Juan's voice was choked with sobs as she said that she was out of town.
As for why she didn't go home for the New Year, Deng Juan said she didn't make any money.
Not only did she not even earn enough money to go home, she also owed foreign debts due to some things, and was afraid that she would bring trouble to her family if she returned home.
"What, you're in debt?"
The Deng family was stunned.
Mother Deng burst into tears. "Juan'er, you are such an honest person. How could you owe someone money? Were you cheated by someone?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Deng Shangwei, who glared at him: "I'm honest in business, why would I cheat your Deng Juan? What's so good about her that I'd cheat her?"
Deng's father scolded Deng Juan for being a spendthrift and not paying back the money she earned, which resulted in her being in debt now.
"There's no money at home to help you pay it back!"
Deng Juan's younger brother looked around, also unable to understand why his honest second sister was in debt. He shouted into the phone: "Second sister, what about my living expenses?"
Sister Deng was also anxious.
Her parents wanted to build a house, and Sister Deng was counting on her younger sister Deng Juan to contribute money, otherwise her parents would have to pay for it.
A few years ago, when she got married, her in-laws asked for a dowry of 20,000 yuan. Sister Deng has been unable to hold her head up since she got married. Even if she wants to use her in-laws' family to subsidize her own family, she has to rely on her in-laws to come up with the money.
"How much money do you owe? If it's less, we can think of a way..."
If that doesn't work, can you ask for a higher bride price?
Deng Juan stammered and said tens of thousands, and the Deng family members gasped.
Tens of thousands?
It’s not even certain whether I can get tens of thousands of dollars in betrothal gifts. How could this damn girl owe so much money!
Deng's father cursed and told Deng Juan to bear her own debts and just die outside.
On the phone, Deng Juan was silent for a moment before she said that she would find a way to buy a ticket back and asked her family not to trouble Deng Shangwei.
Deng's father was afraid that she would bring the debt back with her, so he asked the police to hang up the phone quickly, saying that he was extremely disappointed with his disobedient daughter and had nothing to say.
The onlookers booed.
"Weren't you looking for your daughter just now? Now you know she owes you money and you don't want to look for her anymore?"
"That's right, a young woman in her 20s, she was so lonely she didn't even dare to go home to avoid debt. It was such a sin."
