"Brother-in-law?"
The Wu family members were visibly taken aback when they heard Wang Jing address Hu Yuan.
"Are you his brother-in-law?"
Wu Dahe pointed at Wang Jing and asked Hu Yuan.
"That's right! So what if I'm his brother-in-law?!"
"But you said..."
Wu Dahe wanted to say something, but Hu Yuan didn't give him the chance.
"I'm his brother-in-law, and I'm also the administrator of the public security department! What, do you have doubts? Do you want to come with me to the station to see for yourself!"
Hu Yuan curled his lip, looking at Wu Dahe with a disdainful expression.
Upon hearing Hu Yuan's words, Wu Dahe's imposing manner vanished instantly.
The Wu family members no longer dared to make a scene.
But Cui Wenxiu still looked unwilling, "Even if you're from the security bureau, you can't do this. They cheated our family out of money, it's not like we deliberately caused trouble..."
"Get to the point! What's the meaning of all this arguing and using knives and guns?! Also, the Wang Man you just insulted is my wife. I'd like to ask you what your reasoning is!"
Hu Yuan didn't take Cui Wenxiu, a peasant woman from the mountains, seriously at all. He only had to glare at her, and she immediately became somewhat timid.
"She's your wife? How is that possible... Li Sufeng clearly told me she was divorced..."
Cui Wenxiu stammered as she spoke to Hu Yuan.
"Divorced?! Humph! Did you see the marriage certificate? We're protected by national law. Do you dare to go against the country?!"
Hu Yuan slammed a big hat down on her, immediately scaring Cui Wenxiu so much that her face turned pale and she fell silent.
"So you're just going to let Li Sufeng get away with swindling our money like this? Even if you're the administrator, you can't just leave it like this..."
Wu Dahe whispered to himself from the side.
Hearing this, Hu Yuan frowned, then said to Wang Lun, "Wang Lun, go and call your mother out, and explain the situation here to her!"
Upon receiving Hu Yuan's meaningful glance, Wang Lun immediately understood what he meant.
He nodded and immediately walked through the crowd into his house.
"Alright! I'll give you an explanation for what happened here, but what kind of behavior is this, drawing knives and guns! Put everything down!"
Hu Yuan looked just like an authoritative law enforcer, so the Wu family members didn't dare to confront him and put down the farm tools they were holding.
After a while, Wang Lun and Li Sufeng came out of the house.
Li Sufeng's face changed color. Whether facing the Wu family or Hu Yuan, this notorious shrew in the village turned into a quiet little guinea pig.
She looked at Hu Yuan with embarrassment and awkwardly called out, "Son-in-law...you're here..."
Hu Yuan was really dissatisfied with his mother-in-law, but under the current circumstances, he couldn't really say anything, so he just nodded expressionlessly.
Cui Wenxiu saw Li Sufeng and was furious, ignoring Hu Yuan, who claimed to be from the Public Security Section.
He yelled at Li Sufeng, "Li Sufeng, how dare you show your face! You liar, you cheated our family out of our money and now you want to break off the engagement, are you even human?!"
Normally, Li Sufeng would never have been able to tolerate such scolding.
But now that she knew she was in the wrong, she naturally lost her usual arrogance.
"Young lady, you can't say that. I didn't mean to lie to you..."
"Pah! Who's your 'sister'? You liar!"
Cui Wenxiu didn't buy it at all and spat at her directly.
Li Sufeng's face flushed red, but she didn't dare to dodge.
This matter could have been resolved much earlier, but because Li Su-fen kept dragging it out, the current situation has arisen.
Cui Wenxiu gave the Wang family a bride price of five hundred yuan.
Li Sufeng was not a thrifty person; once the five hundred yuan was in her hands, she quickly squandered almost all of it.
So much so that when she decided not to continue the marriage, she no longer had the ability to repay the money.
So this matter was delayed again and again, and she didn't dare to tell Wang Man and Hu Yuanyan, which led to this situation.
"I don't care if you're from the public security department or her son-in-law, you have to give us an explanation for this, right?"
"Yeah! They need to give us an explanation. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"Even the security department shouldn't abuse their power for personal gain, right?"
After Cui Wenxiu said that, the people from the Wu family immediately had something to say and they all started attacking again.
Hu Yuan, frowning, didn't get angry. Instead, he asked in a cold voice, "How much is the bride price?"
Li Sufeng knew she couldn't remain silent any longer, so she said somewhat awkwardly, "Five...five hundred yuan..."
Hu Yuan nodded silently and called to Wang Jing behind him, "Go and get my bag!"
Wang Jing was very sensible at this moment. He nodded and, like Sun Wukong, immediately ran towards the freight car.
A short while later, Wang Jing ran back carrying a black leather bag from the Shanghai brand.
"Brother-in-law, here!"
Hu Yuan took the bag, unzipped it, counted out five bills from a thick stack of money, and pulled them out.
Unfortunately, this scene was witnessed by Cui Wenxiu, Wu Dahe, and others who were nearby.
Although their family was known far and wide as a wealthy household with tens of thousands of yuan, they actually didn't have much money in their hands.
When the mother and son saw the stacks of old people's bills in Hu Yuan's bag, they were stunned.
"this……"
Wu Dahe swallowed hard, staring intently at the briefcase in Hu Yuan's hand.
Hu Yuan didn't mind and handed five hundred-yuan bills to Cui Wenxiu. "Here's five hundred! Is that all?"
After receiving the five old men's bills from Hu Yuan, Cui Wenxiu immediately began counting them, seemingly afraid that Hu Yuan was lying to her.
“Our family has already prepared a banquet for this and bought a lot of things. Five hundred is too little…”
The greedy Wu Dahe couldn't resist the temptation when he saw the money in Hu Yuan's bag.
He thought to himself, since this guy is so rich, I should ask him for more...
Hearing Wu Dahe's words, Hu Yuan was immediately amused.
"Not enough?! Heh, do you know that extortion is more serious than fighting? Are you itching for a beating? Planning to come to the station with me?"
Hu Yuan glanced at Wu Dahe, his voice cold and clear.
"No...no need!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Wenxiu waved her hands repeatedly, fearing that Hu Yuan would take her son away.
"Since you don't need it anymore, aren't you leaving? What, you really want to come with me?"
"Let's go, let's go now..."
After saying this, Cui Wenxiu immediately grabbed her son and hurriedly left, and the Wu family relatives and friends who had come with her also left.
"Mom, I'm not convinced, and I always feel there's something wrong with that man. Is he really from the police station?"
After leaving, Wu Dahe was very resentful, and he kept thinking about the money in Hu Yuan's bag, feeling a strong urge to do the same.
Cui Wenxiu also felt very aggrieved by this, but the other party's appearance was really frightening, so she didn't dare to say anything directly.
"Let's go home first! Later, have your dad go to the county and ask around. He knows people there, let him see what to do about this..."
