Chapter 55: A Fight Broke Out
Everyone looked in the direction Liu Jianmei had mentioned.
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong were seen escorting a boy, and they were carrying the bag that Huang Zhijian had placed earlier!
This scene shocked everyone present.
Liu Xiangqian and the others gasped for breath. Who exactly was that person?
The Huang family members exchanged bewildered glances. Huang Weifeng's eyes widened, and after a quick thought, he exclaimed, "Look! You Liu family members stole the money and still won't admit it! It's not too late to regret it and admit your mistake!"
This caused quite a stir among those around them.
"What happened? The bag is back? Is it still with the Liu family?"
"And who are the people the Liu family brought? They don't seem to be from the Liu family, nor do they seem to be from our Huang family."
"I don't know either, who would know?..."
They all shook their heads.
As Liu Jiancheng and his companion were about to approach with the person in their arms, Huang Weifeng and his son Huang Zhijian exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward to snatch the bag!
The Liu brothers swiftly blocked his way, shouting, "What do you want?!"
Zhao Fengxiu chimed in, "Look! The Huang family is feeling guilty! They're trying to snatch the bag!"
Huang Weifeng gritted his teeth, "You're talking nonsense! Isn't the bag in your Liu family's hands? Does any of you know him?"
The people at the next few tables shook their heads blankly, indicating they didn't know.
The Huang family invited only the elders and villagers from the surrounding area, and did not invite any of their close relatives.
This move is risky, but if it succeeds, the chances of winning are very high!
Zhao Fengxiu scoffed, "Who said you two know each other? Who said that?"
Huang Weifeng...
Huang Weifeng and his companion could only watch helplessly as Liu Jiancheng and his companion handed the bag to Liu Xiangqian.
Liu Xiangqian took the bag with trembling hands. After checking it, he confirmed that it contained three thousand yuan, a joint venture between the two families!
Seeing this, Huang Zhijian shouted, "Hey Uncle Liu, what are you doing? You took the money back just because you saw that our family wouldn't give in. Is that really necessary? It's not like I don't want Zhenyu anymore. Look at the mess you've made."
Huang Weifeng also laughed and said, "Yes, haha! Xiangqian, when the police arrive later, you must actively admit your mistakes."
We won't hold it against you, otherwise you'll all suffer the consequences.
Grandma Zheng nodded, "That's right!"
Seeing that the Huang family remained unrepentant, Liu Zhenyu clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
She looked at Liu Xiangqian, her voice hoarse, "Dad..."
Liu Xiangqian was in a gloomy mood, his face serious.
Even Old Mrs. Yang could see it, and shook her head helplessly, "Third brother, speak up! With the Huang family like this, why do they need to become in-laws? It breaks my heart to see them like this!"
As if he had made up his mind, Liu Xiangqian handed the bag to Liu Shiping, who was standing next to him, to hold it.
Liu Shiping and the others were stunned.
Although it is unknown how Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong left, or how they brought the people back.
But they themselves knew that this was Zhao Fengxiu's doing!
Liu Jiancheng and his companion stood tall and proud, quite pleased with themselves!
Fortunately, I listened to my mother earlier, and I finally got a chance to redeem myself!
Huang Weifeng, feeling guilty, tried to avoid eye contact. "Xiangqian, what kind of look is that? Do you doubt me? We don't even know each other here!"
Liu Xiangqian angrily pointed at the boy being held captive, "This is from the Luo family! What more do you want to doubt? You actually want to turn the tables and accuse me!"
Liu Xiangqian's voice was trembling.
Huang Weifeng feigned ignorance, "What Luo family? I don't know!"
Aunt Luo next to him shrank her neck, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Liu Xiangqian pointed at Aunt Luo and said, "Your ex-daughter-in-law, isn't she from the Luo family?! Huang Weifeng! The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it! Why are you always like this? It was one thing to deny it before! But you're still like this now!"
Do you think we're stupid and don't know anything? If it weren't for my second sister-in-law's family taking the money back, would your ex-wife's family have planned to take the money away?
"And then they plotted to make my family pay money to marry off our daughter?"
Sun Afang and the others felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, especially Liu Zhenyu, who was sobbing and staring at Huang Zhijian with red eyes!
Huang Zhijian looked away, his expression calm, as if he knew about the matter but didn't care!
Huang Weifeng chuckled and said, "This is all a show you put on yourself. You haven't had any contact with your second brother's family for decades, so why do you trust them so much? I've already told you."
Now that we've gotten the money back, we're not going to hold a grudge. The banquet will still go ahead as planned; everyone's eaten enough, and we're all family now.
Huang Zhijian immediately said, "Don't argue with my dad! It's nothing serious. It's just a misunderstanding. When the police arrive, we'll explain everything and it'll be over. Right?"
The words were spoken.
Liu Zhenyu finally couldn't hold back any longer and broke down, saying, "You bastard, you've misunderstood! If it weren't for my fourth cousin and the others getting the money back, you really would have taken the money and made my family pay compensation, wouldn't you?!"
Why did you scheme against me and my parents like this?! Do you love me, or do you love my family's wealth and money?!
My family doesn't have much money, is it worth you scheming like this?
Huang Zhijian frowned, finding the words offensive, and said impatiently, "What are you scheming about? Wife, we're all family now. Dad, you should also persuade Zhenyu. I won't hold this against you."
You've known my dad for decades, don't you trust us? Everyone, keep eating and drinking!
Huang Zhijian waved his hand in acknowledgment.
Liu Xiangqian roared, "Don't call me Dad! This money was clearly taken by your mother's family! You said one thing before, and now you're saying another. Do you really think we're easy to fool?"
"Why are you still calling me 'Dad'? I don't have a son-in-law like you!"
Huang Weifeng said, "Liu Xiangqian, what's the point of this? The money's already in your hands, so why don't you keep it?"
We're not going to hold it against you anymore. You can hide away however you want, it's their life after all!
Look how generous our family is!
Grandma Zheng smiled smugly, "That's right, that's right!"
Old Mrs. Yang tapped her cane with her hand, "Why waste words with them? Let's call it a day!"
Huang Zhijian shouted, "What do you mean by breaking up the banquet? You can't break up! Zhenyu and I are husband and wife, everyone knows that!"
"Who's your husband? Who!" Liu Zhenyu exclaimed excitedly.
Huang Zhijian grinned, "Wife, are you still angry? Then you should talk to your dad! I'm really fed up. I've already made things very clear with my dad, and we're not going to hold it against you! From now on, we're all family, so you can keep the money!"
Liu Zhenyu's shoulders were trembling. "Pah! Who said we're family! We're not family! Saying we're family is bad luck!"
Liu Zhendong, standing next to him, clenched his fists.
The Liu family could all see how outrageous the Huang family had been!
Liu Xiangqian gritted his teeth, his hands clenching so tightly they cracked.
Zhao Fengxiu, watching from the side, could see this and clicked her tongue inwardly.
How long are we going to have to put up with this? This third uncle is really quite patient!
But then Liu Zhenyan, standing to the side, shook his arm and walked towards Liu Zhenyu, saying, "Second Sister, why are you wasting your breath talking to him?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Liu Zhenyan suddenly swung his fist at Huang Zhijian!
He had long admired the reputation of his fourth and fifth cousins, and today he was just waiting to put them to use!
"Ouch!" Huang Zhijian was punched and fell to the ground.
Liu Zhenyan was still not satisfied and went forward to fight.
Huang Weifeng was furious and stepped forward to stop him, but then he saw Liu Xiangqian also walking over, swinging his fist!
Bang!
Huang Weifeng was slammed against the table by Liu Xiangqian, causing the table to overturn!
Zhao Fengxiu waved, beckoning Liu Jianbang and the others to come forward and help!
In an instant, the two families started fighting.
However, since the Liu family members were all close relatives and the Huang family members were all fellow villagers, the Huang family members were quickly beaten to the ground.
The villagers from the Huang family could only stand around and try to stop them, shouting for them to stop!
Even though the situation is one-sided, the scene looks exactly like a brawl.
A whistle blew loudly.
Several police officers arrived!
