"Xiao Yun, come out! Don't think that if you hide in there and don't make any noise, we won't know you are here." Gong Damei shouted loudly inside.
Seeing Gong Xiaoyun and Zhan Yifeng coming out of the house, Gong Ermei quickly stepped forward and was about to grab Gong Xiaoyun, "You shameless thing, your wings have grown hard, and you don't even listen to your mother, right?"
Zhan Yifeng stretched out his hand to block Gong Ermei's hand, "I won't allow you to bully Xiaoyun."
Seeing her hand being blocked, Gong Ermei yelled angrily, "You don't allow it? Why? Xiaoyun is my sister, and we decide who she marries in the future. Why do you, an outsider, not allow it? Do you really think you have more face than others?"
"Zhan Yifeng, we're here today to inform you that from now on, Xiaoyun and you are done. You are not allowed to come to our house to look for Xiaoyun, or we'll chase you out with a broom." Gong Damei announced to Zhan Yifeng and Wang Meizhen with a smug look on her face. No matter how powerful the Zhan family was, what could they do? Xiaoyun was theirs, and as long as they didn't agree, Zhan Yifeng couldn't even dream of marrying her.
"Do you really think our Zhan family is easy to bully? If it weren't for Xiaoyun's sake, I would kick you out right now with a broom." Wang Meizhen said sternly. Xiaoyun was really pitiful to have such a family. They must treat Xiaoyun better in the future.
"Go ahead and chase me away! If you have the guts, chase me away!" Gong Damei said as she rushed towards Wang Meizhen, as if she would not give up until you chase me out today without using a broom.
"That's right, do we sisters think we are afraid of you?" Gong Ermei sneered.
"Big sister, second sister, please don't do this, okay? I beg you!" Gong Xiaoyun cried and begged them. She had already gotten married to Yifeng, and if they were to make such a scene, how would she face Yifeng's family in the future?
"We just want to make trouble. If you don't go home with us today, we will make the Zhan family a mess." Gong Damei walked up to Wang Meizhen and confronted her.
"Zhan Yifeng, I'm telling you, we've called the police, and they'll be here to arrest you soon," Gong Ermei threatened with a smug look on her face. She didn't believe Zhan Yifeng wasn't afraid of the police.
Zhan Yifeng sneered, "To tell you the truth, Xiaoyun and I have already got our marriage certificate, and we are now officially husband and wife." As he said that, he took out two marriage certificates and waved them in front of the three people from the Gong family.
"What? You guys got the certificate?!"
"This is impossible. Where did you get the household registration booklet?" the two Gong sisters asked in disbelief.
"Don't worry about where we got the household registration booklet. This marriage certificate is absolutely authentic and has legal significance." Zhan Yifeng opened the marriage certificate and let the three members of the Gong family see the photos on it.
Old Mrs. Gong was anxious. She ran forward quickly and stretched out her hand to grab the marriage certificate from Zhan Yifeng's hand. She had to tear up the marriage certificate, otherwise the 100 yuan given by the Li family would be returned.
But Zhan Yifeng was tall, and even if Old Lady Gong stretched out her hand, it could only reach Zhan Yifeng's neck. Not to mention snatching him away, she couldn't even hook him.
Gong Xiaoyun was shocked when she saw Old Lady Gong's face. "Mom, what's wrong with your face?"
Old Mrs. Gong tried several times but couldn't get the marriage certificate. She was furious and panting. When she heard Gong Xiaoyun's words, she turned around and glared at her fiercely, "It's all your fault. I fed you, clothed you, and raised you all these years, and you treated me like this, you heartless thing! I should have thrown you into the river and drowned you." She really wanted to do this at the beginning. If the old man hadn't hidden this dead girl, she would have thrown her into the river long ago. That way, her daughter could have been the daughter of that family without any scruples.
Thinking of her daughter, she felt happy. After the New Year, she would take a train to visit her daughter.
Twenty-two years ago, during a famine, the tree roots and weeds along the roadside were almost completely eaten away.
Everyone in the family had gone out to find food, leaving her alone at home, pregnant. After waiting for several days without anyone returning, she grew so hungry she went out to find something to eat. She didn't know how long she walked until she fainted from hunger on the side of the road.
When she woke up, she found that she had been rescued by a young couple. The woman was also pregnant with a child, and both were full-term.
To repay her husband, she offered to stay and take care of the woman. The woman was her first child, and, being born into a wealthy family, wasn't as strong as she was. Under her care, the woman's health improved significantly, and her husband was very pleased.
She gave birth a week earlier than the other one because she had given birth to three children before. In addition, she was a midwife, so giving birth was as easy for her as laying an egg.
On the day of the woman's birth, it was thundering and raining, and since the hospital was far away, she offered to deliver the baby herself. Her husband initially disagreed, but she explained that she had been a midwife at home and had extensive experience with childbirth, and only then did he agree to let her deliver the baby.
After a night of tossing and turning, the woman gave birth to a baby girl. Looking at the baby, she thought to herself, "They were both newborns. Her daughter would have a good life right from the start, while her daughter would have to suffer with her family." So she decided to switch the baby. After all, the children would be similar, and the other couple had never seen her child. Sure enough, the couple didn't realize the baby had been swapped.
She stayed there to take care of the woman for a few days, then asked to leave. From then on, she would visit the couple every year, bringing them some mountain specialties. They always called her Sister Gong and were very polite to her. When she came back, they would give her some money. She watched her child grow up day by day under their careful care, becoming more and more beautiful and outstanding. Her heart was filled with joy and pride. That was her daughter. Who said that a pheasant can't become a phoenix? Didn't her daughter become a phoenix?
Hearing what Old Lady Gong said, Gong Xiaoyun felt guilty. "Mom, don't be angry. I'll go back with you." Although her mother had treated her badly over the years, she was her mother after all. She had raised her. And her mother's face was so swollen, she couldn't let her get angry anymore.
"Xiaoyun, I'll go with you." Zhan Yifeng said. Xiaoyun was really too kind.
"Get a divorce first." Looking at the marriage certificate in Zhan Yifeng's hand, Mrs. Gong felt uncomfortable.
"Mom." Gong Damei pulled Old Lady Gong and pointed to the side.
Old Mrs. Gong nodded in understanding and walked to the side with Gong Damei and Gong Ermei.
