Chapter 4 reported it to the police.
Liu Jian thought to himself, "Then go ahead and turn your back on me, I'm not getting married."
Her mother's support gave her the confidence to face Chen's parents and Chen Juncai!
Chen Juncai was stunned. He never expected that Liu Jianxin, who had always been under his control, would turn against him.
Chen's mother, enraged, said, "Fine, fine, the Liu family is really something, turning their backs on you so easily! Things that were planned long ago, you've all come to the banquet today!"
Anyway, all the relatives and friends have come, the food has been served, and we've eaten. No matter what, your family has to let us marry into this family, whether we want to or not!
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Your Chen family is really something! Are you trying to force me into marriage? Since you have no shame, don't blame me for being ruthless! Your Chen family's relatives and friends are all watching."
I'm making this clear today: I'm not marrying my daughter off! Your family already has a nephew to support, and if my daughter marries into your family, she'll have to support another nephew. Your whole family depends on my daughter for survival, so don't tell me you don't mind. We don't want her anymore! I'm calling the police!
We are prepared to thoroughly investigate this matter of spreading rumors and slander; we can afford the consequences and the time commitment!
These words left everyone present, including Chen's parents, speechless. They never expected Zhao Fengxiu to go to such lengths!
Chen's mother and Chen Juncai were at a loss for words.
Mr. Chen angrily retorted, "Are you Liu family members crazy? You want to call the police? That's ridiculous! What good will it do? It will only bring more shame to your daughter!"
Zhao Fengxiu, hands on her hips, angrily confronted Chen's father, "Your son is a toad monster, a reincarnation of a toad spirit! Your son is shameless, what is my daughter afraid of? There's no point in talking to a bastard like you, call the police!"
Let's see if your words are more stubborn than the facts. Liu Jianguo, you go!
Liu Jianguo was taken aback and hesitated to act.
Zhao Fengxiu yelled, "You wet your pants and can't you stand up? Aren't you going to get up?"
Liu Jianguo's face darkened. "Mom, how long are you going to keep this up? The Chen family has been laughing at our Liu family all along. You may be shameless, but I am! Seriously, have you taken the wrong medicine today? You've been acting crazy."
Zhao Fengxiu glared at him, "You stubborn fool, didn't you see I was standing up for your older sister? Forget it, I can't count on you, Jianli, you go and report it."
Everyone looked at Liu Jianli, who paused for a moment before slowly getting up.
Chen Juncai panicked and shouted for his uncles to stop Liu Jianli.
"You're not allowed to go! This is a family matter. The banquet has already been held. Why didn't we give you enough? My dad just said he'd give you 20, then add 30 more, making it 50. Is that alright?"
"A piece of junk demanding a dowry of 150? Only I could afford that."
Zhao Fengxiu laughed in anger, "How can you be so delusional? Do you think I need 20 or 30 of your money? 150 is nothing! My daughter earns more than 30 a month, and she'll have 150 in half a year. You're just a toad trying to eat swan meat, ugly as you are and dreaming big!"
Even if your family is too poor to have a mirror, you must still need to pee, right? Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see how pathetic you are, daring to covet my daughter.
Jianli, go report this to the police immediately! If they don't give you an explanation after the investigation, your whole family will suffer!
Chen Juncai shouted at Liu Jianxin, "Liu Jianxin, tell your mother to stop making a scene, okay? This is all in the past, why are you still dwelling on it? In the end, it's our whole family who will be embarrassed!"
Liu Jianxin's eyes were red. "Who said we're family? Don't try to claim kinship with me. We haven't even bowed to heaven and earth, what kind of family are we?"
Chen Juncai...
Friends and family members in the audience watched and discussed, "The Liu family is being ridiculous. What were they thinking?"
"Who knows? You're only saying you won't marry me now that things have come to this? Where were you before?"
"If it were me, I would have crawled into a dog hole. I don't know what Liu's mother-in-law was thinking. Why did she have to say it at the banquet and say she wouldn't get married?"
"I don't care about all that. I've given the gift anyway. They can marry or not, it's up to them. I won't give any more money next time."
These words gave Chen's mother an idea instantly.
“Mother-in-law, what good will this commotion do you? What good will it do for your Liu family? Your daughter’s reputation is ruined, nobody will want her. What’s the point of reporting it to the police?”
"Your daughter's scandals are common knowledge. Such a morally corrupt woman—if it weren't for my son's good intentions and willingness to marry her, she would have been drowned in scorn long ago! Your family should thank us for sparing Liu Jianxin's life!"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Oh my! I really have to thank your ancestors for eighteen generations. You're not ashamed at all for harming my eldest daughter like this, and you even turn around and blame me. Don't you have any shame?"
Does something everyone knows mean it's true? Your son is such a loser, doesn't he even realize it? He can't even look in the mirror, and he thinks my daughter would like him? Can't I just report him to the police and get to the bottom of this?
Chen's mother said, "Go ahead and submit the application! If the marriage doesn't go through, you'll have to pay for all the banquet and other things. You've already given gifts to relatives and friends. Not only will your family have to pay compensation, but your daughter will also be thrown into a pig cage! Go ahead and submit the application."
Upon hearing this, Chen Juncai immediately pulled his mother along and gestured for her to stop talking.
Chen's mother glared at him angrily and gestured for Chen Juncai to listen to her.
Chen's mother felt that the Liu family wouldn't be so clueless.
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Alright, you said it yourself!"
Zhao Fengxiu raised her hand to direct Liu Jianli to run left and right, but she was surrounded by the Chen family members. Since Liu's son had not yet appeared, they naturally dared to block her.
Seeing that the Liu family's sons were starting to get restless, Liu Shiping was the first to get up.
Chen's sister-in-law could only try to persuade them, "Why call the police? It's such a small matter. Both families have already held wedding banquets. Isn't it better to be harmonious and happy? Do you want to make enemies by causing trouble like this?"
They even went to Liu Jianxin and asked, "Jianxin, what did Juncai do wrong? What did he do to upset you? Tell us, and we'll teach him a lesson for you, okay?"
Don't keep making the same mistake. With a reputation like yours, who would want you? Stop letting your mother cause trouble here, or what will you do for the rest of your life?
Even so, Liu Jianxin held Zhao Fengxiu's arm tightly, showing no panic whatsoever, but rather a sense of relief.
Even if the sky falls, her mother will be there for her!
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, I'll only listen to my mother. I'll call the police! Dad, hurry up and help Jianli," Liu Jianxin shouted to Liu Shiping, who was walking away.
Liu Shiping paused, then quickened his pace.
The Liu family sons, still hesitant about whether to set off, looked at each other.
Zhao Fengxiu angrily rebuked them, "Are your butts glued to the chairs? Or are your brains full of grass? Jianli is smarter than you. Why aren't you clearing the way for your little sister?"
"I wasted my life raising you all; you're all dim-witted."
After he finished speaking, they had no choice but to reluctantly get up and go over with dark faces.
Zhao Fengxiu said to Chen's parents and Chen Juncai, "Go ahead and call the police, who's afraid of who? When the truth comes out, I'll make you pay!"
Seeing Zhao Fengxiu's posture and the actions of the Liu family's children, many people on the Chen family's side began to have doubts.
Although it was only Liu's mother-in-law's side of the story, it wasn't entirely without merit.
After all, who can truly understand matters of the heart?
