The betrothal gift that Mu Huaimin later brought out and Mu Zhao's horoscope on the marriage book could pull the Mu family out of the quagmire of buying and selling marriages and destroying military marriages, and put all the blame on Zhang Hongwei. When Zhang Hongwei was sentenced, they could use this as an excuse to ask the Zhang family to cancel the engagement.
The obvious fault lies with Zhang Hongwei. The Mu family has the confidence to argue with the Zhang family about whether to return the betrothal gift and how much to return. Mu Huaimin must have calculated this point, so he was willing to spend 500 yuan to pretend to be generous and give her a betrothal gift.
Mu Huaimin was indeed very clever, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone with the five hundred yuan, but he never expected that he would be dragged down by his own family right after he schemed against the Zhang family.
Mu Zhao must have reached an agreement with Zhang's mother to bet her own marriage on the betrothal money. Mu Huaixi was stunned at first, but then she thought it was something her third cousin would do. No matter how bad Zhang Hongwei was, he was still the son of a textile factory and a local. He was more promising than any other marriage partner Mu Zhao could reach. Besides, even though she was nominally engaged to Zhang Hongwei, no matter how much of the two thousand yuan was left, it would not go into her pocket. It would be better to ask for it back and share it with Zhang's mother!
"But even if Mu Zhao's horoscope is on the marriage certificate, how can we prove that she and Zhang Hongwei are in a free love relationship?" Mu Huaixi couldn't understand. It was no secret that Zhang's mother was looking for a wife in the countryside. She would find out if she asked around.
"..." Ying Mingcheng's expression turned a little strange. He pulled Mu Huaixi forward, and when they reached a place where they could see the Huluai sentry box, he spoke with difficulty, "Mu Zhao said that it was indeed Zhang's mother who arranged blind dates everywhere in the beginning. After that blind date, Zhang's mother took a fancy to you, but Zhang Hongwei fell in love with her at first sight. The two of them had met in the countryside and county, and she...she had been Zhang Hongwei's person for a long time."
Mu Huaixi felt like she was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe her ears and stopped in surprise.
When Ying Mingcheng heard Wei Chengbao's retelling, he also found it absurd, "Mu Zhao said that Zhang Hongwei had a red mole under his armpit, and she wasn't a virgin anymore."
Mu Zhao mentioned several times and places where they met. Some people saw her appear in the city, and Zhang Hongwei was just a street urchin, and the people he hung out with were also thugs. They only knew that he did go to the countryside frequently recently, but no one knew what he did.
In addition, Mu Zhao revealed Zhang Hongwei's privacy, and no one could deny that the relationship between the two was unusual. When Mu Bo'ai learned that his daughter was accusing him, he fainted from anger.
As Mu Zhao's biological daughter, her accusation of her parents for a marriage of profit and loss is much more damaging than Mu Huaixi's. Mu Huaimin never expected that despite all his efforts, his parents still could not escape the punishment of a marriage of profit and loss.
"It seems that not only the two Mu families are fighting each other, but the Mu family is also not united internally," Mu Huaixi shook her head. Mu Zhao thought that she could live a good life as long as she and Zhang's mother were of one mind, but she knew that Zhang's mother must hate the Mu family to death, and was just waiting for Mu Zhao to enter the house and torture her!
However, Mu Zhao is also a ruthless person, and the Zhang family will definitely be very lively in the future.
"Mu Zhao and Zhang Hongwei got their marriage certificate?" Mu Huaixi wanted to confirm it. Such a perfect match must be locked down!
"Yes," Ying Mingcheng nodded. "Service members can get married, and Zhang Hongwei is currently only detained. The Zhang family sent someone to say that Zhang's mother is seriously ill and her only wish is to see her son marry the woman he loves. The police station couldn't do anything about it, so the two of them got the marriage certificate here."
"After getting the marriage certificate and before they even left the house, Mu Zhao collapsed. She was later found to be pregnant, and Zhang's mother recovered." Ying Mingcheng saw her startled and laughing, knowing she understood the scheme. Zhang's mother felt she had taken advantage of Mu Zhao and had grossly offended the Mu family. She even asked for the money back, but she never expected her family to be the victim of Mu Zhao's schemes.
Mu Huaixi laughed more and more happily. Mu Zhao was really a talented person. Although he didn't know whose child in her belly was, it was definitely not Zhang Hongwei's. She must have discovered that something was wrong with her a long time ago, but she pretended to be unconscious after getting the marriage certificate and let the police witness her pregnancy, thus confirming that the baby was Zhang Hongwei's.
I’m afraid that Zhang’s mother’s illness was cured by being angry.
"Wei Chengbao said he didn't know when the verdict would come out, but the end of the year is the time for a crackdown. Zhang Hongwei should be sentenced to three to five years for multiple crimes, and the thugs who followed him should also be sentenced to at least six months."
"Originally, the uncle and aunt of the Mu family were only going to be reprimanded for the sake of human relations, but Mu Zhao insisted too much. They might be sentenced to six months to a year. The large sum of money collected by the Mu family must be returned, and an additional fine of 300 yuan will be imposed."
"Zhang Hongwei and Mu Huaimin have signed a letter of understanding with each other, and Mu Huaimin will be released in 15 days." Ying Mingcheng was also a little emotional. When he took Xiao Xi away, he only emphasized to Wei Chengbao that the two families should be taught a lesson, but he did not expect the subsequent development to be so exciting. Wei Chengbao did not even need to take action. They tore each other apart, wishing to kick each other into hell and reap the benefits themselves.
Things like ethics, family ties, parents, and siblings are not even within their consideration.
"Mu Zhao and Mu Huaimin, be careful. Even if you return home, avoid too much contact with them," Ying Mingcheng warned, frowning. Mu Huaimin had finally received a letter of forgiveness from the Zhang family, and had turned a blind eye to Mu Zhao's persistent complaints about his parents. He must have struck a deal with Mu Zhao. His previous behavior could be considered filial, but when the fire burned himself, he decisively abandoned his parents.
Such people only love themselves.
"Don't worry." Mu Huaixi nodded. She had previously decided to put her past life aside and be herself. Now she felt even more refreshed as the world was at peace!
The only relative of the Mu family in her heart was her third uncle. Whether the others lived well or not had nothing to do with her. Of course, if they did not live well, she would be even happier.
