Her son simply brought a worthless woman from the village home, hoping she would become his wife; it's nothing unusual.
Anyway, there have been many cases of buying and abducting women from outside the village over the years, and nothing has ever happened.
They hadn't taken it seriously at first, so how did it end up alarming the police and the military?
Is it really worth making such a fuss over a woman? Zhu Chunhong's family probably doesn't have that kind of background!
Regardless, the person was indeed standing right in front of them.
Song Yongfu and He Caixia instantly felt extremely guilty, and went through all the despicable things they had done over the years in their minds.
What exactly went wrong?
However, there have been so many unethical things done over the years that it's hard to find a clue right now.
Song Yongfu and He Caixia licked their lips, glanced cautiously at Lin Dongliang, and forced out a smile.
"Um... comrade soldier, my family and I are law-abiding citizens. We've never done anything illegal or disorderly. What are you doing...?"
Lin Dongliang remained expressionless, leaving Song Yongfu and He Caixia bewildered. They then followed his silhouette and looked behind them.
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan stared coldly at the heartless couple throughout.
Xie Mingzhu was right behind them.
Although they have now escaped danger, changed their household registration, reunited with their relatives, and have someone to support them.
But for Xie Mingzhu, those years living here were always unspeakable painful memories.
When Xie Mingzhu returned here, she instinctively felt a sense of suffocation.
It was as if the boundless darkness of the past had once again enveloped her, tightly enveloping her and making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Seeing that Xie Mingzhu was not in a good state, Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan had her hide behind them to avoid direct contact with Song Yongfu and He Caixia.
At this moment, Xie Mingzhu felt two probing gazes looking in her direction. Although she didn't look directly at them, she was all too familiar with the feeling of being watched.
“Mingzhu, if you don’t want to show up, your father and I will do it for you. You don’t need to say anything.”
Huang Meiling turned her head and whispered her instructions.
Xie Mingzhu took two deep breaths, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down.
Before she came, she had already decided that she would come here to settle things properly and put an end to the past.
Otherwise, if she kept these people and these things in her heart, knowing that these people were still alive and well in Duanqiao Village, she would always feel uneasy, as if she had a heartache, and would not be able to truly start a new life.
Since we're going to settle accounts, let's do it thoroughly.
Xie Mingzhu repeatedly told herself that she was no longer the helpless little girl she used to be.
She was no longer the lowly daughter that Song Yongfu and He Caixia could beat, scold, and sell at will.
Now she has loving parents, younger brother and sister-in-law.
Even before he arrived, the female lead seemed to sense his unease and nervousness, so she went out of her way to find him, gave him a hug, and gently comforted him.
"Sister, don't be afraid. You're going there today to settle accounts with them. They've wronged you and harmed you all these years. They should be the ones who feel guilty and afraid."
"Mom and Dad, Zhiyan and I are all standing behind you. This time, we will make sure that heartless couple gets the lesson they deserve!"
Xie Mingzhu composed herself.
The female protagonist is right. Only those who have done wrong need to be afraid. She is a victim and has nothing to be afraid of.
These things need to be put to rest.
Xie Mingzhu mustered her courage, calmed herself down completely, and then walked out directly from behind Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan, meeting the probing gazes of Song Yongfu and He Caixia.
Song Yongfu and He Caixia were stunned for a moment, their expressions gradually turning malicious as they sneered and looked Xie Mingzhu up and down.
"Who do we have here? It's you, Song Zhaodi, you little brat!"
He Caixia pointed at Xie Mingzhu's nose without any politeness and started cursing.
"You shameless slut, how dare you come back!"
"Our family has fed and clothed you since you were a child. Don't you know how much food we consumed to raise you?"
"In the end, it was all for nothing. Finally, someone was willing to take you in and marry you. Instead of being a good wife and father-in-law, you should have been serving your in-laws and husband well, making them happy, and having more children for them. Instead, you ran away!"
"Do you know how many times your in-laws have come to make trouble because of you? They've made our lives miserable every day. The rabbit we finally managed to hunt in the mountains a few days ago was stolen by them!"
"Do you know how fat that rabbit is? If we ate that rabbit, we probably wouldn't lack oil for the next two weeks."
He Caixia spoke with great anguish, gritting her teeth and stomping her feet fiercely.
Those who knew her were talking about rabbits, but those who didn't might have thought her father had died.
He Caixia's face flushed red with excitement, as if she hadn't noticed Xie Mingzhu's change at all, and still thought of her as the little girl they used to manipulate, so she vented her frustrations on her without any restraint.
He Caixia was spitting as she spoke.
"If you don't come back soon, you'll ruin our whole family! You unfilial daughter, you whore!"
"Tell me honestly, which random guy took you in during the months you were away? How many shameless things did you do outside?"
"I told you long ago, you're a jinx, completely useless, and you're always causing trouble and disaster for our family."
"Pah! If I'd known you were this shameless, I should have just thrown you into the pool and let you drown!"
As he spoke, a hint of schadenfreude crept in.
"So, you can't survive out there anymore, so you have to come back, right? Let me tell you, no one will want a slut like you anywhere."
"Thank goodness the policies are good now. If this had happened before, you would have been thrown into a pig cage and drowned!"
As He Caixia spoke with spittle flying, she stepped forward menacingly and reached out to Xie Mingzhu.
"Come on! You're coming with me right now to apologize and admit your mistake at your in-laws' house. Kneel for three days and three nights to calm your in-laws and husband down. Then see if she's finished eating that rabbit and make her give me the rest back!"
"Even half a rabbit is enough for our whole family to cook a big dish!"
He Caixia reached out to try and pull Xie Mingzhu away while shouting at the top of her lungs—
"Old Zhou's family, come out and see! I've found your wife! Take her home quickly, and don't let her run away again!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Zhou Dazhu and Cui Lanhua rushed out of their house in the blink of an eye.
"What's wrong? Who did you just say came back?"
