Shi Nian raised her head and looked at Feng Sihan's broad back, with red at the corners of her eyes.
For the first time since she was a child, someone other than her sister protected her before the threat came.
Liu Chunyan's slap missed and she looked Feng Sihan up and down. Seeing his unhappy expression, she realized that she had recognized the wrong person.
She raised her chin and asked arrogantly, "Are you the armed police officer who got the marriage certificate with my daughter?"
"It's me."
"You married my daughter, how come I, as her mother, didn't know? Is this the quality of you people's policemen?"
Shi Nian frowned and walked out from Feng Sihan's side, "Liu Chunyan, watch your mouth! Do you know that you will go to jail for slandering the police? What have you ever done to me since I was a child? If it weren't for my sister, you wouldn't even know when I would starve to death! You are so kind as to call yourself my mother! Why did I tell you that I got married? Did I tell you so that you can extort money and suck my blood to feed your idle stepson?"
Liu Chunyan was choked by her words and her face turned red and white.
She couldn't say anything to Shi Nian, so she turned around and continued to attack Feng Sihan.
The man in front of her stood as still as a pine tree. Liu Chunyan's heart began to beat fast when she suddenly saw his serious face.
Fortunately, she was not facing him alone. There were a few strangers in the store, and her extinguished momentum was rekindled.
"My daughter has grown up and has grown up. I can't control her. She is ignorant, but are you also ignorant? You call me a policeman? I think you are not as sensible as Xiao Wang who has been chasing my daughter! Others know to visit their parents, give some fruit gifts, and discuss the wedding details and the betrothal gift before proposing marriage! But you are so good that you don't say a word. You treat my daughter-in-law's family as if they don't exist and directly kidnap my daughter to get the marriage certificate! You are a policeman! Don't policemen have to give betrothal gifts when they marry?"
Liu Chunyan greeted the customers in the store and said angrily, "Come on, come on, everyone, give us some judgement! Is this reasonable?"
Shi Nian was about to explode with anger, but she was also worried that Feng Sihan didn't understand her family's situation, so she took out the bank card with 500,000 yuan in it from her pocket.
She took two steps forward to block Feng Sihan and retorted, "You keep talking about the betrothal gift and you still refuse to admit that you are here to ask for money! Is the betrothal gift more important than your daughter's happiness? I just like Sihan and think he has a good character. He is better than that little Zhang or little Li you introduced to me!"
Feng Sihan has always been at the front line with a gun in hand, protecting the weak. This was the first time he was protected by a woman, and he felt a bit of a novelty.
Shi Nian put one hand behind her back and kept waving it where no one else could see except him, as if she wanted him to stop talking.
Feng Sihan frowned, and after much thought, he still didn't want to let his wife suffer any injustice, even though she was not the one at a disadvantage at the moment.
He heard everything Liu Chunyan said to the little girl on the phone, and he could probably guess what kind of person the woman in front of him was.
"I will give you the betrothal money, but Nian Nian doesn't want to give it to you. I will listen to her, so naturally I won't give it to you either."
Feng Sihan's voice was cold, and the store fell silent for a moment as soon as he finished speaking.
Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat. Damn it! How could Feng Sihan be so honest?
Her mother's train of thought is different from that of ordinary people. The only thing on her mind is money. After he said a lot, her mother might only hear the words "bride price will be given".
Liu Chunyan put her hands on her hips, "Who can't say nice things? Why don't you give me some? How much are you going to spend to marry my daughter? I'm telling you, Xiao Wang is offering 300,000 yuan. If you offer less than that, get out as soon as possible! You got the marriage certificate without holding a wedding, which is unfair to my daughter. You must give more for the betrothal gift! At least 400,000 yuan!"
Fang Ning couldn't listen any longer, "Is your daughter a commodity? You even clearly marked her value. The original intention of giving the bride price is just to show the man's sincerity to the woman!"
Customers in the store echoed, "That's right! From the tone you used when you spoke to your daughter, I know what your daughter said is true. She suffered a lot when she was a child! You also haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother!"
"What's the difference between your behavior and human traffickers selling children?"
Liu Chunyan was pointed at and could not refute. She stiffened her neck and yelled at the people, "You are talking without any pain! She is my daughter, I have the final say! Even if I feed my daughter steamed buns and pickles since she was a child, and even if I count all the money she spent on her education for more than ten years, it is still more than 400,000 yuan!"
Shi Nian didn't want to affect the store's business by driving away customers because of her mother's rudeness and unreasonableness.
She strode forward, grabbed Liu Chunyan's arm and dragged her out.
Liu Chunyan got into an argument with a customer in the store and refused to move her feet until her eyes caught sight of the gold bracelet on Shi Nian's wrist.
Several customers shouted that they wanted to call the police. Liu Chunyan saw that the situation was not right, and while Shi Nian was not paying attention, she suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled the gold bracelet down with force.
Shi Nian reacted instantly, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth to pry Liu Chunyan's fingers apart.
The two people's arms were twisted together, and Feng Sihan didn't know where to start. The aunt who had just spoken to Shi Nian suddenly rushed over and pulled Liu Chunyan away from Shi Nian in a few moves.
Feng Sihan immediately grabbed Shi Nian's arm, pulled her to his side, and looked at Liu Chunyan with a sullen face.
Liu Chunyan was surrounded by several people and retreated one after another, staring at Shi Nian unwillingly.
"If you don't give me the betrothal money and I don't agree to this marriage, then you can forget about living a peaceful life! You little bastard, just wait for me! I'll come and take care of you tomorrow!"
Liu Chunyan said the threatening words, glanced at the gold bracelet that Shi Nian was blocking with her hand, and turned away.
Several customers were still angry and kept talking about Liu Chunyan.
Fang Ning comforted the few people. Feng Sihan turned around and held up Shi Nian's hand. Seeing her swollen wrist and the red marks on her arm with blood, anger flashed in his eyes.
Shi Nian pulled back but did not pull his arm away.
Feng Sihan exuded a low pressure. Shi Nian pretended to be relaxed and said half-jokingly, "It's just a superficial wound. It doesn't hurt at all. Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, otherwise the gold bracelet you just gave me would have been snatched away by my mother."
"Next time she tries to snatch it, give it to her and don't let yourself get hurt."
"You don't know my mom. She can't easily get back what she has stolen. And once she has stolen something, she will think it's profitable and will go even further next time."
Shi Nian muttered softly, "I don't want to give it to her for nothing, and this is a gift from you, it means a lot to me."
"If she steals your things again in the future, I will definitely make her return them intact."
A warm feeling surged in Shi Nian's heart. She was obviously the one who was wronged and should be angry, so why was Feng Sihan even more angry than her?
She teased, "Why, do you still want to do something to my mother? Don't, she is just a rude and unreasonable crazy woman."
Shi Nian sighed and said seriously, "You are an armed police officer. If you touch her, she will jump three feet high and slander you everywhere. In the information age, public opinion spreads so quickly. If someone posts the video clip online, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you are right. Don't worry, if a fight really breaks out, my mother can't beat me, I..."
Feng Sihan blamed himself, "Nian Nian, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
