Xiaoying's dad was indeed planning to play the long game and catch a big fish. He couldn't possibly give up such a big opportunity. It would be a shame not to take a bite!
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were too lazy to listen to their nonsense and were about to leave with Xu Zijiang, leaving them to be dealt with by the police. Xiao Ying's parents wanted to chase after them, but were stopped by the police.
Trying to morally blackmail Yu Jiu is impossible.
Xiaoying's parents were stopped and could only watch as Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang left. They were also forcibly removed from the school by the police, but they were unwilling to give up and planned to return the next day to cause trouble. They intended to come to the school every day to disrupt things as long as Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang disagreed.
Even the school couldn't stand it and would definitely try to persuade Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang to agree to their demands.
Xiaoying's father even took a month off work to fight a protracted battle with Yu Jiu, Xu Zijiang, and the school.
However, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle with them. They promptly filed a lawsuit, and before the students even came to the school to cause trouble the next day, they received a court notice to attend the hearing.
Xiaoying's parents refused to appear in court, but the trial still went ahead. In the end, they were directly ordered to pay Yu Jiu and Xu Zi 1,000 yuan in compensation. If they disagree, they can appeal.
Xiaoying's mother was terrified, but Xiaoying's father was obsessed, single-mindedly focused on getting Xiaoying into Yu Jiu's family's home, disregarding everything else and unafraid of any lawsuits. He figured if the police kicked him out, so be it; he'd find time to harass her again.
The school was in dire straits and even hired a security guard to wait for him at the gate. The guard was to immediately remove him upon his arrival to prevent disruption of the school's teaching order. The court was also powerless against this rogue, so he went all out.
Seeing that this approach wouldn't work, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang realized they needed to find another way.
"First, we'll get a few people to go to their workplaces and spread the word about their shameless behavior. Then we'll go to their neighbors and relatives and spread the word about it. We'll make them lose face first. If they still don't know how to restrain themselves, then they can't blame us."
Yu Jiu spoke with a cold face.
If none of these methods work, then she'll have to resort to drastic measures. Surely one of them will work. She's not afraid of losing face, but is she afraid of being beaten? Is she afraid of losing her job?
Today, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang don't even need to lift a finger; they've made many connections through their business dealings. To run a business peacefully and harmoniously, there are quite a few people to cultivate relationships with, including all sorts of people from all walks of life. She has plenty of ways to keep them quiet.
"Okay, I'll find someone right now."
Xu Zijiang had long since reached his limit of patience; one cannot be polite to this kind of person.
Xu Zijiang directly hired two groups of people. One group went to Xiaoying's parents' workplace and made a scene, while the other group went to their neighborhood and spread the word about the matter to their neighbors, relatives, and friends.
This is shameless! It's bad enough that they're trying to extort money from a minor accident, but now they're trying to extort people from them too. Second-graders talking about engagement and marriage? It's absolutely ridiculous!
Sure enough, as soon as the news got out, everyone immediately started criticizing Xiaoying's parents.
"Are they out of their mind for money? How dare they make such a request?"
"Yes, they even took it to the school and made a scene every day. My child told me that they had been arguing at school these past few days. I thought it was something serious, like Xiaoying being mistreated at school. I never imagined it was all an attempt to extort money!"
"I heard that they've already compensated him with a thousand or eight hundred yuan, which is a year's salary, and they're still not satisfied. If Xiaoying had suffered some serious injury, that would be one thing, but the key is that she was only kicked in the stomach, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong, yet they still won't let it go."
When kids play together, bumps and scrapes are inevitable. If a single bump costs so much money to pay, families with children would be financially ruined!
Everyone was talking about it. Xiaoying's father didn't go to work, and no one knew what his colleagues were saying about him. But Xiaoying's mother went to work every day. After being talked about like that by her colleagues, she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to commit suicide. She couldn't stand being talked about and insulted behind her back like that.
She regretted it, but what could she do? She couldn't stop Xiaoying's father; her man simply wouldn't listen to her!
"Come here for a moment."
Just as Xiaoying's mother was about to disappear into the ground in embarrassment, her supervisor came to see her. Xiaoying's mother followed him out nervously, trying to explain.
"Boss, I..."
"Stop talking. I already know about what happened between you two. You can leave today and don't need to come to work anymore. Your husband too, you've both been fired. Our factory doesn't need employees like you. You're a disgrace to our factory and you're tarnishing our image."
You can't be so heartless and shameless. Let me give you a piece of advice: people have dignity, trees have bark. If you can do something like this, no one will respect you. You'll be pointed at and gossiped about wherever you go. How will you survive then?
"Let's go, you'll get paid for these few days."
The supervisor was blunt and directly dismissed both of them. Xiaoying's parents worked in the same factory, just in different positions. They were in different workshops, and now that the foreman had said so, it meant that the leaders of both workshops had discussed the matter.
Xiaoying's mother felt even more ashamed after what was said. She was too embarrassed to stay there. With tears in her eyes, she ran away without saying a word, without even taking her own things.
Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Xiaoying's father either. Xu Zijiang had people knock on every door of their neighbors' houses, telling them all about the disgraceful things they had done.
Only then did the neighbors realize that such a person had appeared in their neighborhood.
Everyone rushed to Xiaoying's house to make sarcastic and indirect remarks about him. Xiaoying's father was furious and even came out to argue with the neighbors, but there were too many of them, and he was rendered speechless and humiliated for no reason.
Xiaoying's grandmother only just found out that Xiaoying's father had been doing this kind of thing lately, which is why he wouldn't let Xiaoying go to school, even though Xiaoying was perfectly fine!
"You unfilial son! You've disgraced the Guan family! Who taught you to do such immoral things?! I'll beat you to death, you brat!"
Xiaoying's grandma went berserk, grabbed a broom and chased after him, hitting him. Xiaoying's dad, of course, was not having it.
“What’s wrong with me? Everything I’ve done is for her. Do you know how rich that couple is? If Xiaoying marries them, not only will she enjoy a life of luxury, but we’ll all enjoy it too. We won’t have to earn money for the rest of our lives!”
He was so self-righteous, and even now he still doesn't know where he went wrong.
"How could I have raised such a beast! Ouch!"
"grandmother!"
Xiaoying's grandmother was so angry that her heart ached. She clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground. Xiaoying rushed out in fear, and Xiaoying's father realized that something was wrong and quickly carried Xiaoying's grandmother to the hospital!
Suddenly, Xiaoying's house was in complete chaos.
