Wang Yufu sincerely believed that Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun had deceived him and were trying to take his money without any preparation. He argued with Li Chunlan and his neck turned red from the argument.
I had no idea who I came with. The only thing I remembered was that if I couldn't get the gift, at least I had to get back the money I spent.
This incident gave him an inspiration. As long as he had real money in his hands, he might be able to get a new wife from others in the future.
By then, he will still have someone to serve him.
"Hurry up, there's no room for negotiation. I married your daughter because of you, and now you're doing this to me. Pay me back now."
Wang Yufu limped forward, stretched out his hand, and waved it twice in front of Li Chunlan, obviously asking for money.
“Puh!”
Li Chunlan was naturally not an easy person to get along with. She swept Wang Guanfu's hands with a broom. Wang Guanfu had a limp and could not run fast, so he was hit twice.
Shen Zhizhu nimbly moved aside and was taken into Xu Haonan's arms, watching the show from a distance.
Fortunately, Li Chunlan took the police officer's face into consideration and did not hit him too hard. She stopped after a few hits.
"Mr. Wang, my husband personally carried Xiaoqiu to your village and personally placed her on the kang in your room. Now she's gone, and instead of going to look for her, you come to ask us for money."
She dropped the big broom in her hand and cried to the police officer who was standing by at a loss.
"Police comrades, you have to help us. My beautiful daughter married him and disappeared when I sent her to eat in the morning. Now she comes to my house to extort money. My little Qiu must have been bullied by you."
As Li Chunlan was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed at Wang Yufu and continued.
"Anyway, my daughter has already been given to you. How could anyone know that you two did that after such a long time? You lost my daughter. I am sad and my chest is stuffy and painful. Pay me!"
The policeman was just being pulled by the collar by Li Chunlan and was shaken, but the next moment he was released and pushed to the side. He wanted to say something, but Li Chunlan's loud and shrill voice came over and blocked his words.
"Mr. Wang Yu, my daughter disappeared at your house, so you have to take responsibility. See, the police are right next to us. As long as you pay me, I won't pursue the matter. How do you think?"
Li Chunlan had a smug look on her face. The young lady she had raised was missing, and the first thing she thought of was not Shen Aiqiu's safety.
Instead, he was thinking about how to use this incident to make Wang Yufu pay more money.
Shen Zhizhu knew that Li Chunlan's maternal love for Shen Aiqiu was based on the time when Shen Xiaojie didn't need it.
But most of them were very protective of Shen Ai Qiu, and in their previous lives, they spoiled Shen Ai Qiu's temper even more.
The current situation was both expected and unexpected to her.
"Aunt, my cousin is missing. Aren't you worried at all? Why don't you find someone to look for her right away? And you still have the leisure to ask her to pay you back."
Shen Zhizhu leaned against Xu Haonan and spoke to Li Chunlan. Although his tone was questioning, it was mixed with sarcasm, and the people around him heard it clearly.
"Yes, she is my biological daughter after all. I usually only know that Li Chunlan is greedy and naughty, but I didn't expect her heart to be as hard as a stone."
"Who would have thought that she would always talk about her daughter when I saw her normally? When Shen Aiqiu was taking the exam, my goodness, that expression on her face, tsk tsk tsk."
Shen Ai Qiu's grades have always been pretty good, and the teacher has praised her for it, so Li Chunlan always uses this to show off to the villagers.
She said openly or secretly that their child was not smart and not as good as her daughter.
"This person has changed so much. In just a few days, their son went to jail and their daughter was sold. Can't they look for the reasons in themselves?"
What Li Chunlan can't bear to hear the most now is the news that Shen Xiaojie was imprisoned. She would go crazy when she heard about it.
"What do you know, you bitch? It's all Shen Zhizhu's fault. We grew up together and you don't even know why we should call the police."
Someone said it.
"We found out that the fire was caused by human factors. Why not call the police? We can't just wait for the thieves to try again if they fail once."
Li Chunlan stared at Shen Zhizhu viciously and spat on the ground.
"Pah, I saw the piece of clothing left by my son right from the beginning. I didn't bring it to Xiaojie to ask. Xiaojie was confused for a moment. If I had brought the piece of clothing to him to ask, Xiaojie would have apologized and the matter would have been over."
"If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhizhu knew that I was good at studying and didn't refuse the bet, our family would be so happy and would have promised the girl's family that we could get the house deed and get married. Otherwise, given their affection for my son, they would definitely be willing to wait for my son to come out before continuing to discuss marriage with my friend."
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, what Shen Zhizhu wanted was not for Li Chunlan's distorted values to be exposed.
"Come on, that girl has several suitors, how could she be interested in your son? Your son deserves to be in jail, but Shen Aiqiu has always been filial and kind to you. She was the one who planned it. If you let her take the exam again, she might be able to get into a good school. Why did you sell her out?"
Shen Jianjun came out at this time, rubbing his eyes, and it seemed that he was woken up by something happening in the yard.
[You are such a good sleeper. It's so noisy in the yard, but you just woke up now.]
"What are you arguing about? What are so many people doing here? This is my home, not a market!"
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, who else would take over your arrangement except Li Chunlan and Shen Aiqiu?]
When Wang Yufu saw Shen Jianjun coming out, he continued with his purpose.
"Shen Jianjun, you are a man, let me tell you, after your daughter woke up, she just said she didn't know about the marriage, refused to marry me, and ran away when I wasn't paying attention."
"Although I haven't read much, I know that a forced marriage is not a happy one. Since your daughter doesn't want to, let's forget about it. Return the 400 yuan to me, and I won't ask you for the wedding banquet."
Wang Yufu was not so generous. He was just afraid that if he mentioned the money for the wedding banquet, it would be difficult to get the betrothal gift back.
Shen Zhizhu sneered in his heart.
[A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst, right? When I forced Shen Aiqiu, he didn't realize this.]
Whenever those people said something, Shen Zhizhu would complain in her heart. Xu Haonan listened to her inner thoughts and watched the little expressions they made from time to time.
I think it's very interesting and cute.
Shen Jianjun's attitude was the same as Li Chunlan's. Once the money was in his hands, there was no way he would return it.
"Since we have already received your betrothal gift and sent you the bride, we agreed before that we would only ask about your family affairs in the future. Now, your wife is missing, what does it have to do with us?"
"Leave quickly, or else—"
