"I deserve to die. I'm willing to compensate you. I just beg you to forgive us this time and give us a chance to make amends. Chief Fu, I've used almost three thousand of your money over the years. I'll go get the money and pay you back right away. Let's call it even, okay?"
The once arrogant Cui couple knelt down, weeping and begging for mercy.
Fu Jingchen casually remarked, "I directly raided the Cui family's property; it's worth far more than three thousand yuan."
Gu Wanwan glanced down at you with disdain. "You are guilty of multiple crimes: child trafficking, abuse, arranged marriage, defamation, seizing property, and spreading feudal superstition. How many peanuts do you want to eat?"
“If Brother Chen and I harden our hearts and truly forgive and help you, then what about all the suffering Brother Chen has endured over the past twenty years?”
"Captain Cheng, take them back and send them to the most difficult places for labor reform."
"Yes, sir." Captain Cheng immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest the person. "What about the others who were involved in this?"
Pei Guangzong declared loudly, "I am not on the same household registration as them, and we have no relationship whatsoever. My mother is also a member of the Pei family; she is a daughter-in-law of the Pei family."
The matter was too complicated to allow Cui Hailu any hesitation. "I will immediately publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with my family. I, Cui Hailu, refuse to associate with bad elements."
To demonstrate their determination, Pei Antong took out the newly written letter severing ties with the aunt and nephew and had them all sign and affix their fingerprints.
"I won't sign!" The Cui couple's eyes reddened, and they wished they could strangle the ungrateful aunt and niece. "I'll drag you down with me even if it means my death."
Pei Guangzong approached them, revealing a devilish smile, "Then I'll report Cui Jiaquan from the countryside."
With a single sentence, the fate of the Cui couple was sealed, forcing them to sign their names, thus ending this farce.
After the Cui couple were taken away, Cui Hailu's body went limp, and she knelt on the ground, wailing loudly.
She no longer has any family to support her. If her brothers and sisters-in-law in the countryside knew that they had betrayed their own family for the greater good, they would surely resent them.
With their biggest worry gone, Pei Guangzong and Pei Antong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Pei family had become numb, as if there was no hope left in their lives. Due to the Du family's exclusion, the Pei family had become a completely marginalized family. To avoid suspicion, Zhao Baiping's family stopped contacting the Pei family. Although they hadn't severed ties, it was practically the same as severing ties.
Sister Wan and Brother Chen acted swiftly and decisively, confiscating the Cui family's house and giving all the savings in the bankbook to their adoptive mother, Shen Chunman. The Cui family's house was given to their adoptive mother as their new home in Beijing.
Seeing that the Cui family name had been changed to the Shen family name, Cui Hailu wanted to protest but couldn't. After all, the money for buying the Cui family house and the cost of furniture were subsidies given to Fu Wanning by Pei's adopted son. However, the money didn't reach Fu Wanning's hands; most of it was diverted to support her maternal family.
Now it's simply a matter of returning the jade intact to its rightful owner.
That day, Sheng Qing brought news about the First Compound: "Boss, something's really bad..."
