Chapter 139 A life-and-death struggle
As he spoke, he glared at Ruan Chuxia fiercely.
Upon hearing these words, Ruan Chuxia's long-suppressed anger instantly surged to her head.
She tightened her nails on the palm of her hand so hard that they almost dug into her flesh.
Her teeth were clenched and her chest was heaving violently with emotion.
These people were so selfish and greedy in their previous lives.
At that time, I had just returned to the Jiang family with Jiang Jiashu. Life had finally settled down and living conditions had improved.
This group of so-called relatives swarmed over like flies.
But at that time, in order to consider her feelings and family ties, she reluctantly nodded and helped most of the time.
Now I didn’t expect that their ambitions in this life are even greater.
She actually dared to make a big fuss about the fact that Xiao Zhiyu had no children, and even tried to force a strange child into their marriage.
Do they still think she is the weak and vulnerable woman from her previous life?
"Okay, if you really have the courage, then go ahead and give it a try."
She sneered, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'll just sit here and wait for you to go talk to him and see on what basis you think he will agree to such a ridiculous request as yours?"
"I'm telling you, I'm still holding onto the score for your previous marriage swap. It hasn't been that long, and now you're bringing up 'adoption' again? If you continue to mess things up, he can definitely sue you for sabotaging the marriage. Then, I wonder who will dare to back you up, and who will be the one to clean up your mess!"
After hearing what Ruan Chuxia said.
Several people looked at each other, with a look of panic on their faces.
No one expected that things would develop to this point.
Even in rural areas where information is extremely isolated.
They also knew that destroying a marriage was no small matter.
That would involve taking on great legal responsibility, and if things go wrong, someone might even die. The consequences would be unimaginable!
So, at this moment, everyone fell silent, and no one was willing to speak.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and depressing.
After a long time, Xie Guihua was the first to break the silence.
She pretended to be fearless and said with all her might, "Don't scare me with that. How can this be considered destroying a marriage? We haven't done anything out of the ordinary. Besides, your father saved his father's life. Is he really going to repay his kindness with hatred?"
"Oh!"
Ruan Chuxia sneered.
She didn't even bother to turn around and look at Xie Guihua.
In fact, she herself knew very well that Ruan Chuxia was no longer the person who was easily bullied.
Now she is really driven to desperation and is not afraid of anything anymore.
If they push her any further, she might fight you to the death.
By that time, let alone whether the task can be completed, I am afraid that I won’t be able to get anything out of it!
Thinking of this, Xie Guihua's mind immediately changed, and her tone softened a little. She continued, "Don't be too anxious or angry. I'm too lazy to argue with you about this... Let's put this adoption thing aside for now."
She was only halfway through her sentence.
Yuan Mengjuan next to her became very anxious.
What do you mean by not mentioning this in advance?
She came all the way here just for this matter.
Yuan Mengjuan was so anxious that she blurted out, "His aunt!"
Xie Guihua, who was speaking when she was suddenly interrupted, immediately exploded.
I had been feeling so pent up with no where to vent, and now I finally found an outlet.
She suddenly turned her head and yelled at Yuan Mengjuan, "You brainless thing! Who told you to interrupt? Why are you making trouble here? You know what I'm thinking better than me!"
Yuan Mengjuan was stunned for a moment.
He stood there in a daze, unable to wrap his mind around what was happening.
She actually felt a little aggrieved and even a little unwilling.
She wasn't worried about what others would say.
But I'm really afraid that the adoption won't be accomplished in the end, and it will be a waste of time, with no one benefiting in the end!
Besides, what happened just now was clearly Xie Guihua who got upset because of Ruan Chuxia's words.
Yuan Mengjuan just agreed with a few words.
Who knew it would cause such a big commotion?
This matter obviously has nothing to do with her.
Why is everyone staring at her now?
But the current situation is not on her side.
She knew very well that among the people present, apart from Xie Chao's support, the most important thing was Xie Guihua's attitude when speaking.
Only if she speaks up for herself will there be hope.
If I offend Xie Guihua at this time, she will not say a word on my side.
Then wouldn't there be even less hope when facing Ruan Chuxia?
She immediately adjusted her expression and put on a smiling face.
"His aunt..."
"Oh, damn it, I was blind just now! I spoke without thinking, please don't bother with me."
Yuan Mengjuan continued to beg softly.
"I see you haven't eaten in ages. Why don't we find a place to eat first and talk while we eat?"
When she mentioned the topic of eating, several people couldn't help but move their lips slightly.
They came out of the village early in the morning.
They hurried on their journey before daybreak.
I came all the way here just for this lively meal.
"Daya."
At this time, Ruan Dejun, who was sitting next to him, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Your mother, I, your second brother, and your second sister-in-law are all starving. Go see if there's anything ready at home and bring us a simple meal."
Ruan Chuxia is a smart person, so of course she understands the real meaning behind these words.
Her father had set a standard for herself. If she took it seriously and dealt with it carelessly, she would probably be scolded later.
"My family just bought a live fish this morning..."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Guihua interrupted her with a pout.
"We've eaten enough at home. We came from so far away this time, so why don't you treat us to a good meal outside?"
Xie Guihua thought to herself, after all, I came to Shenzhen just to try the food outside, right?
She heard that the food there is not only affordable but also authentic.
It’s a rare opportunity to come here. Wouldn’t it be a waste if you don’t come and experience it?
Ruan Chuxia's brows immediately twisted into knots.
"That's easy for you to say. Where would I get so much money to treat you? Besides, Xiao Zhiyu is injured now and needs nutrition every day, and the child needs care... Everything in the house needs money."
All the money was saved bit by bit by her and Xiao Zhiyu.
How could my hard-earned savings be lost to these people?
"Is your salary too low? I think you are reluctant to spend money and don't even want to treat us."
Yuan Mengjuan muttered softly.
She came here today hoping for this meal, so why would Ruan Chuxia be unwilling?
After hearing this, Xie Guihua's mouth drooped and she looked unhappy.
"Before, you said you didn't want to give the child to us, but now you can't even afford to treat us to a meal? If you really dither like this, I'll tell everyone in the team. Don't blame others if you get embarrassed!"
When she said this, there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
