They still wanted to save face and really didn't want to make a big fuss.
Moreover, even if the police were called, given the Tang family's connections in town, it's uncertain whether the police would even bother with the matter. Their family doesn't have any strong connections; they can't compete with the Tang family.
Moreover, given the way Tang Xiaoxiao attacked people yesterday, they were truly afraid. Who knew what she would do if they angered this woman?
As for privately retaliating against the Tang family?
They dare not.
Even if they had that thought, they worried about the consequences they would have to bear if it happened.
After much thought, they realized they had no choice but to accept Tang Xiaoxiao's threat and do as she said in order to stop the other party from targeting their family.
Although Mr. Chen said he couldn't come up with the money, everyone knew that 100,000 yuan wasn't too difficult for the Chen family.
Chen Yong's hair salon made a lot of money back then, and Tang Xinxin didn't ask for a single penny when they divorced; it all went to Chen Yong. Even though it later went bankrupt, he still had a considerable amount of savings left.
Although Chen Yong is now unemployed, he has no bad habits. His parents support his family's food and drink, and he hardly spends any money.
The reason they are withholding the child support payments owed to Xuanxuan is simply because they are malicious.
In the end, Chen Yong still took out a bank card.
In fact, he had prepared everything according to Tang Xiaoxiao's request last night, but he still held onto a sliver of hope today.
Handing the card to Tang Xinxin, Chen Yong mustered his courage, glanced at her, and stammered, "Xinxin, I..."
"Don't call me by my name, it's disgusting." Tang Xinxin frowned and said her first words since entering the room: "I hope that you, and your whole family, and all people with the surname Chen, will never appear in front of my daughter and me again."
After saying that, she glanced at the woman whose face was swollen like a pig's head, secretly praising her for her ruthlessness. She knew she couldn't have hit her that hard; for some reason, Tang Xinxin felt a strange sense of schadenfreude. However, she still said sarcastically, "Keep an eye on your son. Not everyone outside is his parent. Nobody will spoil him. Like father, like son. If you're not decent people, don't ruin your child." She then snorted coldly, "Try to straighten him out now, and maybe there's still hope. But we can't rule out the possibility that he's rotten to the core."
After being insulted like that, the woman didn't even lift her head. With her face looking like that, she was too ashamed to face anyone, especially since the person in front of her was Chen Yong's ex-wife. A strange competitive feeling lingered in her heart.
She had secretly observed Tang Xinxin when she entered the room, and even though she was unwilling, she had to admit that the other person was simply too beautiful.
There's simply no comparison.
She married into the village from another village. I occasionally heard gossipy neighbors talk about Chen Yong's ex-wife, saying she was a great beauty, one of a kind in the surrounding villages.
She scoffed at the idea when she heard it.
If she were really that beautiful, would she have married into a family like the Chen family? Even if we take a step back, with Chen Yong's personality, if he really married a goddess, wouldn't he treat her like royalty? Would it have led to a divorce?
It's just that these country women are ignorant; they praise anyone who looks decent to the skies.
The implication was that she wasn't good-looking!
So what if she's not pretty? Now she's Chen Yong's wife, and she's given the Chen family a healthy baby boy. As for his ex-wife, she's probably long gone somewhere else.
During the Chinese New Year, Chen Yong suddenly decided to bring his daughter from his previous marriage to celebrate the holiday. With his parents present, she couldn't say anything to object, and she was holding back her anger. Slapping Xuanxuan was just an excuse to vent her frustration. She was just a little girl; what could she possibly do?
Unexpectedly, Chen Yong had such a fierce former sister-in-law.
Although she was beaten yesterday, it didn't stop her from sizing up Tang Xiaoxiao's appearance. She looked like a little fox spirit, with eyes that seemed to be able to bewitch people. Tang Xinxin was her sister, so they probably didn't look too different.
Meeting you in person today, it's indeed true.
So she kept her head down the whole time and didn't even refute Tang Xinxin's sarcasm.
That delicate sense of pride wouldn't allow her to show any weakness in front of her "love rival."
The two sisters, like village bullies, swaggered around and thoroughly humiliated the Chen family before leaving triumphantly.
As for how the Chen family feels, who cares?
Stepping out of the Chen family's gate, Tang Xinxin felt a sense of exhilaration she had never experienced in all these years.
After being smeared by the Chen family, Tang Xinxin fled to City A, harboring resentment. However, the local customs in that small town were still very conservative at that time. The Chen family had slandered her reputation, and she had to consider her parents' face and her young daughter. She didn't have the confidence to fight the Chen family to the death, so she could only swallow her anger.
For so many years she has refused to set foot in the Chen family’s home. Even when they owed child support, she pretended it didn’t matter. Besides hating this family, didn’t she also have the intention to escape?
Only today, witnessing firsthand how her sister pressured them, seeing the lesson learned from the culprit who harmed her daughter, and seeing how utterly spineless that family was, did she finally feel a release of the pent-up anger in her heart. Although she didn't possess Xiaoxiao's ruthless methods, she would no longer cower in fear.
Giving Tang Xiaoxiao a grateful look, Tang Xinxin said sincerely, "Thank you."
Tang Xiaoxiao rubbed her arms. "Why are you being so mushy!"
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the two sisters smiled at each other.
