"And I only found out about this last night. You didn't tell his parents about this at all. His parents came to our house last night."
Even after hearing what Xia Jin said, the man still argued that he had never met Chen Xin.
Now even the dumbest person could see that something was wrong. Xia Jin really didn't want to doubt them, but the things they did made it impossible not to be suspicious.
Seeing that he was really uncooperative, the others stopped hesitating. Xie Fanghua stepped forward to help Gu Jinmo push the door open, then stepped forward to subdue Grandpa Chen and handed him over to the police officer following behind.
The noise they made outside was quite loud. Grandma Chen, who was still in the house, heard the noise and hurried out, and then she saw this scene in front of her.
"What are you doing? Who are you? Why are you arresting our family? Let me tell you, my second son-in-law is the factory director. I'm not afraid of you. If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police."
At this time, the people Xia Jin had asked for directions also came over. Seeing that they had arrested the Chen family, they quickly stepped forward and said:
"Little girl, what are you doing? How can you arrest someone? What on earth do you want to do?"
"You said you were friends with their child, so I showed you the way, but now you are bullying the people in our village?"
"That's right, what right do you have to arrest him? What crime did he commit? Besides, even if there is a crime, there are police officers, right?"
Grandma Chen also said, "Let go of my head of the family immediately, or I'll call for help. We are all from the same village. If this gets out of hand, you'll be in big trouble. I tell you."
Xia Jin listened to her words, smiled at him and said, "Don't be so anxious, we will leave naturally after we find the person. If you don't want your husband to suffer, then hand Chen Xin over quickly."
When Grandma Chen heard this, she knew why they came, but she didn't expect how this person knew something that her own daughter didn't know, and how he came all the way to save her.
However, I had already accepted the betrothal gifts and had made an agreement with her, so naturally I couldn't let her take her away. So I argued cunningly:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Chen Xin is my granddaughter, but she should be in school now. Why is she in our house?"
"Old man, since we're here, we've already investigated everything. Besides, when you asked your third aunt to pick her up yesterday, I was right in front of him. I know everything you said and did."
"You don't have to deny it. If we didn't have evidence, we wouldn't have been so bold as to come to your house, right? So you should hand him over now. It will benefit you, me, and everyone else."
"Of course, if you don't cooperate, then we have no choice but to force our way in."
The people behind were whispering:
"That can't be possible. I didn't see anyone coming back yesterday."
"It seems their third daughter went to the city in a bullock cart, but she hasn't come back yet."
"Besides, if she really is here, just let her out. Why are you still saying all this? Do you think I've done something wrong?"
"I think this little girl is wrongly accusing them. After all, she is his grandmother. How can they harm her?"
"Yeah, these bullies have come right in front of us. If they don't explain themselves today, we can't let them go so easily."
"Yes, yes, yes. Just watch me here and call the village chief. If anyone can do that, it's fine. But how can you just casually accuse someone from our village?"
After saying this, the man hurriedly ran out. Xia Jin and the others heard what they said, but they didn't care. After all, they were in the right.
Grandma Chen was still thinking about what she could say to keep the matter secret. No matter what, she couldn't let them take the person away, otherwise she would not be able to explain to her third daughter.
But before he could come up with anything, those in the yard heard a loud noise from the house, followed by a surprised voice saying:
"Xia Jin, Xia Jin, are you here to save me? Please save me quickly. My grandma wants to sell me to another family as a daughter-in-law. Please save me quickly." There was a hint of tears in her voice when she said the last part.
When Xia Jin heard this, he looked around at the faces of the people in the yard, raised his eyebrows and said, "Did everyone hear that? We are not looking for trouble."
Seeing that this matter could no longer be concealed, Grandma Chen quickly said, "Even if I want her to get married, so what? She is my granddaughter. Can't I make the decision about her?"
"Besides, this is our family's business. Why are you, an outsider, interfering here? I tell you, no matter what I say, she should do it."
"Her mother has to listen to me, so what's wrong with me asking her to marry someone? Besides, this is such a good thing. I've seen that family. If it weren't for his third aunt thinking about her, she wouldn't have gotten married at all."
Hearing her words, Xia Jin sneered and said, "What era is it now? Your arranged marriage is outdated. What matters now is free love."
"If you go against her will and lock her up privately, it's considered imprisonment, it's considered kidnapping. Regardless of whether you are her relative or not, you can't make the decision for her."
After saying this, he led his men to rush in. Grandma Chen wanted to stop them, but she was alone. How could she stop the three of them?
Xia Jin took Gu Jingmo into the room and found the room where Chen Xin was locked up. Then he knocked on the door and said, "Chen Xin, help us open the door so we can get you out."
Then I heard the sound of furniture being moved in the room, and after a long while the door was finally opened from the inside.
As soon as the door was opened, Xia Jin, who was standing outside, was rushed into Chen Xin's arms. Chen Xin hugged her and cried while saying:
"Wow, Jin, I was so scared. I thought I would never see you again. After I came here yesterday, I didn't agree to marry someone else, so my grandma locked me up."
"If I hadn't been smart and blocked the door, you might not have seen me today. They also said that it was useless for girls to go to school, and they sold me to someone just for the small amount of dowry they gave me."
Xia Jin patted the person in his arms and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are here to save you. Don't worry, we will definitely punish them severely. This matter will not be let go like this."
