Chapter 26: What a Confusion of Right and Wrong
Yang Jiantao was lying on the bed, listening to the old couple's nonsense, and his already pale face became even uglier.
Yang Jiantao's daughter Yang Xiaoxiao stood beside the bed, holding her father's uninjured hand with a cold face, without saying a word.
Yang Jiantao took a deep breath and managed to calm down. "If you don't withdraw the case, I won't withdraw the case. If you dare, you two can die here. This is a hospital. If you can save them, you can be taken to the crematorium. When your son and daughter come out, I can burn incense for you together."
When the two elders of the Huang family heard him say this, their eyes widened in surprise. They never thought that their son-in-law, who was usually gentle and timid and could be easily controlled, would suddenly become so strong.
Seeing that their threat failed, the two old people looked at each other, and Huang's mother sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Oh my, this is so unfair! Everyone, please judge for yourself. Who would call the police to have his wife and brother-in-law arrested? I only have this one son and daughter. You are trying to kill us two! What sin have I committed to meet such a cruel son-in-law?"
Huang's father also sighed beside him, looking like a heartbroken old green tea: "Do you have someone else outside? Even if it is, let's part ways amicably. We won't bother you. Why are you so heartless?"
Huang's father sighed and continued to play the emotional card: "Zhao Di has been your wife for more than ten years. She has raised a daughter for you, and it is impossible for her to have children again in this lifetime. Now you want to kill her and her brother. Your mother and I are old and we don't have many years to live. Do you really want to kill our family of four?"
After hearing this set of rhetoric, people who didn't know would think that Yang Jiantao was a scumbag who abandoned his wife and murdered her.
There were other patients and their families in the ward, and after hearing this, many of them began to whisper to each other.
Yang Jiantao's face turned pale and he was shaking with anger.
On the contrary, Yang Xiaoxiao, who had been watching this farce coldly, suddenly spoke up: "They all want to kill me and my dad, why can't my dad call the police to arrest them?"
"Shut up! Why do you, a child, interrupt when adults are talking?" Huang's mother, who was sitting on the ground and acting like a spoiled child, suddenly became furious and pointed at Yang Xiaoxiao and shouted at her.
Father Huang also looked at her disapprovingly, as if he was looking at a very ignorant child: "Xiaoxiao, those are your biological mother and uncle."
"So my dad and I deserved to be held at knifepoint by them, and deserved to be threatened and blackmailed by them, and to work hard to pay off my uncle's gambling debts."
The discussion in the ward paused for a moment and then became louder.
Huang's father and mother's expressions changed slightly. Just as they were about to say something else, Yang Xiaoxiao interrupted them.
"You don't need to blackmail me morally. I'm not a child anymore. I know who is right and who is wrong. You just made it sound like she had given a lot in the more than ten years she was married to my dad, but is that really the case?"
"Has she ever taken care of me or raised me for even a single day in all these years, other than giving birth to me? My dad pays for all the expenses of the family. My dad and the nanny have been raising me since I was little. My dad buys me food, clothes, daily necessities, and toys. Even my bath is done by the nanny my dad hired. Her money is either given to her brother or to you."
"She never spent a penny on me and my dad. Instead, she kept asking my dad for money and asking him to take care of you. Sometimes I even suspect that it's because her brother doesn't have children, otherwise she would definitely treat her brother's children better than me."
Yang Jiantao felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to stop her from continuing: "Xiaoxiao..."
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook his hand, whispering, "Dad, I have been holding back these words for a long time. If I don't say it today, I probably won't have the chance to say it in the future."
Because from today on, she and her father will completely draw a line between themselves and this family.
Yang Jiantao understood what she meant, and thinking about how the Huang family had treated his daughter over the years, he gritted his teeth and did not try to stop her.
"Although I'm young, I know some truths. I know that if you have a child, you have to raise it. But your good son asked my dad for money for school, asked my dad for money for living expenses, asked my dad for money when he wanted to travel, asked my dad for money when he wanted to get married, and now he's in debt from gambling and still asks my dad for money. He even wants my dad to help him borrow high-interest loans and act as a guarantor to pay him back. Is he my dad's son or your son?"
"You little bitch, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Huang's mother got up from the ground and was about to rush over to pull Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Jiantao's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up and stand in front of his daughter to protect her.
Director Gao and others had been watching the show for a long time, and now seeing that a fight was about to break out, they hurried forward to stop them.
Huang's mother was suddenly stopped by several strange men and was shocked: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me? It's indecent assault!"
Director Gao and others who were inexplicably blamed: "..."
Yang Xiaoxiao and her daughter were also shocked to see so many people suddenly running in, but she quickly calmed down and continued, "It is true that they threatened me and my dad with a knife when they wanted to take the money but failed. It is also true that they stabbed us with a knife when they were rejected. They were arrested by the police because they deserved it and broke the law. It has nothing to do with my dad."
"If you feel so wronged, why don't you go to the police station and make a scene? You come here to make a scene with my dad, the victim, because you think he's good-tempered and easy to manipulate? I'm telling you, from today on, we have nothing to do with your family, and they all have to go to jail."
Yang Jiantao hugged his daughter, whose face was flushed and trembling with excitement, and his expression was unprecedentedly stern: "Xiaoxiao's meaning is my meaning. They both broke the law and should be sentenced accordingly. I will divorce Huang Zhaodi later, and Xiaoxiao and I will no longer have anything to do with your family. If you dare to disturb us again, I will call the police. I want to see if you four want to go in and reunite."
Huang's father and mother were about to make a scene when they heard this. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "The police are here."
The two men's faces suddenly changed. They thought Yang Jiantao had really called the police and turned and ran away.
When he ran to the door, he said in a timid tone: "Just wait, we will come again!"
After Huang's father and mother left, everyone in the ward waited for a while but the so-called police did not show up. Instead, they saw the four members of the Du family who were secretly eating melons.
It turned out that the sentence "The police are here" was the result of Duanrao's quick thinking. Because the scene was too chaotic, he really scared the two people away.
Yang Jiantao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his daughter's hand in a soothing manner: "Don't be afraid, these are all my colleagues from the crew. Thank you so much for what you did just now. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
