Chapter 102 Jinjiang Debut
After that, Sister Yang resolutely got into the police car and followed the police. Bai Mian and his group walked towards Ci Xin Tang. On the way, Lame Brother's stomach started to growl, and he joked:
"Little God of Wealth, where is the wedding wine you promised us? You asked the boss lady not to cook, but we came here with empty stomachs and didn't get to drink any wedding wine. What should we do now?"
Gao Jin said quickly: "It's not too late now, let's go home, the vegetables have been bought, I can just cook them when I get home."
Bai Mian looked up at the sky. It was already dark. She seemed to have a premonition of something and said to everyone:
"Let's not just take this meal lightly, let's have a good meal, Brother Lame, you said before that you love barbecue the most, so let's have barbecue tonight, we can grill it ourselves!"
Lame brother was a little worried: "It's so greasy, can the boss and the boss lady handle it?"
Weng Xuhua smiled and said, "Why not? My little disciple is right. Let's have a barbecue tonight, so that you won't accuse me of being partial!"
Lame brother was immediately delighted: "Great, then I'll send a WeChat message to my family to let them know I won't be going back for dinner tonight."
On the way, they passed by a supermarket and bought some ingredients. In addition to the regular barbecue ingredients, Bai Mian also bought some expensive high-end fish and shrimp, which made Gao Jin sigh with heartache:
"Hey kid, I know you make money from live streaming, but you should spend it sparingly. For these fish and shrimp, just buy ordinary ones. Aren't they all the same after being grilled?"
Bai Mian turned around and smiled: "It's different, today is a special day."
"What special day? Is it because we helped Xiao Yang break off his engagement?" Gao Jin asked.
Bai Mian shook his head: "It's not just that, you will know later."
After buying the ingredients, they walked back to the store and divided up the work to prepare the ingredients. They cut the fresh beef and mutton into small pieces, cut the fish and shrimp into half and skewered them. In addition to these, there were also chicken wings, tendons, squid, hot peppers, potato chips...
After dealing with these things, several people carried large and small bags to the open space in front of the entrance of Ci Xin Hall. Lame Brother brought charcoal and a barbecue grill from his home. He loves barbecue, so he always has these things at home.
He set up the oven in the open space, poured the charcoal in, and turned around to ask Bai Mian: "When do we start grilling?"
Bai Mian took out her cell phone and checked the time. She had already sent a WeChat message to Sister Xiao Yang, and she thought that Sister Xiao Yang would be here soon, so she asked Brother Que to wait a little longer.
Two minutes later, Sister Yang came trotting over from a distance. She had already cooperated with the police investigation. Everyone gathered around her, wanting to know what happened next. So Sister Yang typed and sent it to the group:
"I told the police everything, including my family's coercion over the years and their marriage swap agreement. The police also looked through the chat records between the two families, which confirmed that they were indeed planning to swap the marriage and had threatened me many times. The actions of the two parents went against the will of the women and were a crime of interfering with the freedom of marriage. The four of them will soon be sentenced to two years in prison."
"The police also said that my brother and sister-in-law's marriage was not consensual, so it was also an invalid marriage. Later they would help my sister-in-law annul the marriage and send her back to the Ge family."
Lame Brother sighed in the group: "What's the point of sending her back? A cannibalistic family like that will definitely use her to exchange for another bride."
"No," Bai Mian added, "When I was checking Xiao Yang's pulse, I found that her sister-in-law was infertile. This may be a blessing in disguise. She doesn't have to be treated as a reproductive machine anymore and doesn't have to give birth to a child with a genetic disease."
Xiao Yang suddenly realized: "No wonder my brother and sister-in-law have been married for three years, but my sister-in-law has never been pregnant."
Lame Brother typed: "What was your brother's reaction after this happened?"
Xiao Yang: "He, what else can he do? He was just furious! He smashed everything in the house. When I went back to pack my luggage, the house was in ruins. After all, he lost his wife overnight, and his parents were sentenced to prison. He was the only one left at home. He used to live on his parents, and now my parents are in jail. He doesn't know how to live in the future. He thinks everything is my fault and wants to kill me. Fortunately, when I went back, the police protected me, so he didn't dare to do it."
Lame brother asked: "What are you going to do in the future?"
Xiao Yang typed: "I have been mentally prepared for this. From the moment I personally sent my parents to prison, I knew that this family could no longer accommodate me. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, they never gave me the warmth of home before. From now on, I will just pretend that I can live on my own without them as my family!"
Lame brother was a little worried: "Can you do it? Although our salary has increased now, it is 4,000 yuan a month, but you have to rent a house by yourself, cook for yourself, add the property fee and water and electricity bills, I really think it will be a bit difficult for you."
Gao Jin quickly suggested in the group: "Why don't you just live in Cixintang, Xiaoyang? We'll provide you with food and accommodation, just like Mianmian. Anyway, we have a lot of empty rooms on the second floor, and eating is just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Now that the store's income has increased, it's more than enough to support you."
Weng Xuhua thought the same. He said in the group: "Xiao Yang, just live on the second floor. Don't worry. You are alone now and it is inconvenient for you to talk. We are worried if you move out by yourself."
Lame brother advised: "Xiao Yang, just listen to the boss and the boss's wife!"
Sister Yang smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and typed to say to everyone: "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone's kindness. I won't live in Cixin Hall because I'm leaving Qingshui Town!"
Everyone was very surprised and asked her why in the group. Lame brother typed:
"Xiao Yang, are you afraid that your brother and the Ge family will come to cause trouble for you? Don't worry, I'm in the store every day. I will protect you. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, I will be the first to say no!"
Xiao Yang shook his head and said to everyone, "No, I left Qingshui Town not because I was afraid, but because I found a new job. After the marriage exchange incident became a hot topic, several people contacted me through Weibo and offered me a job. I was very interested in one of them, so I added him on WeChat for an interview."
"This is a lawyer who specializes in helping deaf-mute people in lawsuits. Because deaf-mute people have difficulty communicating with others, it is difficult for them to fully explain what happened. This lawyer was impressed by my communication and expression skills. He thought I was very talented and could type a long paragraph of sign language into text in a short time. He asked me to be his assistant and help him speak for the deaf-mute people."
"How much does he give you a month?" asked Lame Brother.
"Eight thousand," Xiao Yang added, "after tax, and five insurances and one housing fund."
"How much? Eight thousand?" Lame Brother didn't quite believe it. He reminded, "Xiao Yang, open your eyes and take a good look. Could it be that you have met a scammer? Think about it, there is no such good thing as pie in the sky. What if he is from a fraud gang, and asked you to meet offline and trafficked you to the deep mountains and forests..."
Bai Mian patted Que Ge's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, he's not a liar. I calculated for her. This lawyer is a noble person in her life. Sister Yang will grow a lot working with him and will become an authority in this field in the future."
"This, this, this..." Lame Brother was so jealous that he couldn't speak.
Bai Mian smiled: "Isn't this great? Sister Xiao Yang has found a job that suits her. This job can not only give full play to her expertise, but also help her fight for justice. She will like this job. This is why I asked everyone to come out for a barbecue today - to celebrate Sister Xiao Yang finding the value of her life!"
"You, you, it turns out you already knew it..." Weng Xuhua said, feeling a little reluctant, but finally forced himself to type the word "Congratulations" on his mobile phone.
“Thank you, thank you everyone!”
A sincere smile finally appeared on Sister Yang's face.
"The value of life..." Lame Brother kept repeating this sentence, as if thinking about something.
Bai Mian nodded happily: "Yes, although Sister Yang's job at Cixintang is easy, it does not require any technical skills and can be replaced at any time. She herself has no sense of existence. Now that she has joined this lawyer's team, she can really help others in the future. And as long as she works hard, she will be promoted and get a raise. Doesn't this help her find the value of life?"
Lame Brother was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything else.
Sister Yang continued in the group: "Boss, Madam Boss, I'm sorry, I have to leave tomorrow. The lawyer said that his case is very urgent, and I'd better get to work as soon as possible. I have packed my luggage and bought a train ticket. I will leave Qingshui Town tomorrow."
"So soon?" Weng Xuhua was a little surprised, but he had to say, "I see. Then you can stay in the store tonight. I will pay you this month's salary after I go back."
Sister Yang was so grateful that she could not express it in words. She could only keep bowing to Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin.
Gao Jin looked back at the food that the others had brought, and regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh. "Oh my god, if I had known that today would be our last meal together, I would have bought more delicious food. I would have bought the lobster even if it was expensive! Oh, what a pity, we didn't buy enough!"
She complained to Bai Mian: "Mian Mian, if you already knew about this, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Bai Mian smiled mischievously: "If I had told you earlier, I'm afraid you would have emptied the supermarket. There are so many shoppers in the supermarket. Can you leave some food for them? Don't regret it. We have prepared enough for today."
After they finished talking, Brother Lame lit the charcoal fire, and tonight's barbecue officially began.
Others wanted to help, but were stopped by Lame Brother:
"No need, barbecue is my home turf, today I want to show off my cooking skills, you guys just wait and eat the ready-made food!"
