Chapter 169 We Can't Afford to Provoke
Mrs. Zhao was stunned when she heard this. "Police comrade, I am already 80 years old and I cannot stand the pain of jail. Besides, it is just a vase. Why should I pay 3,000 yuan for it?"
Zhao Xiugang also said: "Comrade police, my mother is old, if you want to detain someone, just detain me."
Men Huaying quickly pinched him, "What nonsense are you talking about? You will retire in two years. If you are detained and fired by your company at this critical moment, all your efforts in life will be wasted. It was your mother who scalded you and broke the vase. If anyone should be detained, she should be detained."
"Who is she doing this for? It's for our daughter..."
The two of them were arguing fiercely.
The police officer shouted, "Be quiet, is this a place where you can just replace anyone you want? The only person who can be detained is you, the old lady."
Old Mrs. Zhao's eyes were red, and she cried loudly, "No, I can't go in. Xiugang, go call your eldest sister and ask her to pick me up."
"Okay, okay, I'll call my eldest sister right away."
Although her eldest sister's father-in-law has been retired for almost 20 years, he still has connections.
But the police officer didn't wait for his elder sister to come and directly sent Mrs. Zhao to the detention center.
The police officer looked at Men Huaying and said, "You can all leave after you pay the money."
Men Huaying smiled awkwardly, "Comrade police officer, my parents-in-law and I have long since separated. They have pensions and savings. I will go home and let my father-in-law pay the compensation."
Police comrade: "Okay, but if you don't pay the compensation within three days, we will take it to court and enforce it."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Men Huaying was about to leave when she suddenly thought of her daughter.
At this time, Zhao Fang was squatting at the door and crying.
Men Huaying walked over, touched Zhao Fang's shoulder and said, "Cry, cry, cry, you still have the nerve to cry. Look at what you did. You didn't even see clearly and let a driver destroy your innocence."
Xiao Chen walked over unhappily and took out 200 yuan.
"Take the money and I'll help you beat the child. If you insist on keeping the child, I'll immediately sue you for raping me."
Zhao Fang was filled with rage at this moment, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger.
She stood up and raised her hand to hit Xiao Chen.
"Who are you to deserve me to bear your child?"
Xiao Chen grabbed her wrist and threw her aside, "That's great, I'll take you to the hospital now."
"No need, I can go by myself!"
Xiao Chen insisted, "I have to go. I have to see you abort the baby with my own eyes. What if you don't go and give birth to the baby secretly? Wouldn't that be a big surprise to me? I won't be so stupid as to leave myself a hole."
"you……"
Just as Zhao Fang was about to speak, Zhao Xiugang came back.
"Huaying, Fangfang, don't be afraid. My sister is shopping on the next street. She will be here soon."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Whoever comes here can't keep the child. If anyone does, I will go to court and sue Zhao Fang for raping me."
"Shut up!" Men Huaying gritted her teeth and said, "This is a curse. Do you think we will keep it? Our Fangfang will marry into a wealthy family in the future, marry a rich second-generation man. Even if you beg us to keep this curse, we won't."
As long as her Fangfang has an abortion and takes good care of herself for a few months, she will be just like a virgin in the future.
Even if she died, she would never give birth to a child for a driver!
Xiao Chen looked impatient, "Let's go to the hospital to get an abortion, what are you waiting for?"
Men Huaying raised her head and said, "You want to get rid of us with 200 yuan? An abortion costs 200 yuan, and you still have to compensate Fangfang for her mental damages, lost wages, and her physical injuries. You have to pay at least 1,000 yuan."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to the police station. As long as the police ask me to compensate you, I will."
Men Huaying was shocked. Yes, the young lady took the initiative to break into someone else's room in the middle of the night. If they were serious about this, not only would they not get a penny, they would also have to get in.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Zhao Xiulan came.
She is sixty years old this year, but because she lives a life of luxury, she looks like she is fifty, younger than her sister Zhao Xiumei.
"Xiu Gang, what happened? Why was our mother detained?"
Zhao Xiugang exaggerated the story, and Zhao Fang cried, "Aunt, you must make the decision for us. We entered the Xie family, but we were also deceived. We didn't know that the child was not the second young master Xie's, and grandma didn't intend to use her as a vase on purpose. And this driver only compensated me 200 yuan when I wanted to have an abortion. It's simply too much... wuwuwu..."
Zhao Xiulan ignored the father and daughter and turned around and walked up to Jiang Xianli.
He smiled and said, "You are Xianli, my niece, right? I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have grown into a big girl."
Jiang Xianli had no expression on her face, she just said calmly, "Yes."
Zhao Xiulan asked again, "Have your mother and your family been doing well these years?" She lowered her eyes, looking very guilty, "It was all my fault before. As an older sister, I didn't care enough about my younger sister. Now that I'm older, I realize more and more the importance of family members.
"I wanted to visit your home several times, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I heard that you married the fourth son of the Xie family. How are you doing? Are the Xie family members treating you well?"
Jiang Xianli could naturally see the hypocrisy and greed in her eyes. If she didn't know that she had married into the Xie family, her aunt would probably look at her with disdain.
Jiang Xianli also faked a smile, "Well, our whole family is fine. My sister married a businessman, and my brother got married. I married into the Xie family, my sister married Zhou Kunhao, and my brother always ranked first in his studies. My parents are happy every day, waiting to hold their grandchildren.
Everyone in the Xie family was very kind to me, and none of them looked down on me or my family just because I was poor."
Her last words made Zhao Xiulan’s smile fade a little.
But she still said gently, "That's all fine. I'm relieved. After all, your mother and I are sisters. There's no such thing as overnight hatred. We will always be connected by blood. Some other day, will you accompany me to your home to see your mother?"
Jiang Xianli still put on a fake smile, "Sorry, Auntie, I'm busy with further studies recently and may not have time. You should go by yourself."
"Well, then."
Zhao Xiulan didn't care. Their two families hadn't been in contact for so many years, so it was normal for Jiang Xianli to dislike her.
As long as she can ease the relationship with her sister Zhao Xiumei, Jiang Xianli and Jiang Xianhui will naturally become close to her.
Now her husband's family has lost its former glory. Although her father-in-law used to be the director of the Forestry Bureau, he has been retired for 20 years and the people he knew no longer buy into his business.
I can’t even arrange jobs for my grandchildren.
Her husband, that loser, is even less worth mentioning. He has worked as a minor clerk all his life and is about to retire.
If she could get along well with the Xie and Zhou families, her children wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.
Over there, Zhao Xiugang was stamping his feet in anxiety.
"My dear sister, I asked you to come here so that you can get our mother out and make decisions for our family. What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you going to see Zhao Xiumei?"
Zhao Xiulan looked at Zhao Xiugang coldly, "Mom made a mistake and should be punished. As for Zhao Fang, she went to a man's room in the middle of the night and is now pregnant. He doesn't want the child, so she should abort it."
Zhao Xiugang was stunned, "Sister, you..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Xiulan continued, "When you are alive, you must not only obey the law, but also be reasonable. The police have handled your case very well. The young man is also willing to give you 200 yuan for an abortion, which is not bad. Take the money and take Zhao Fang to the hospital as soon as possible."
Zhao Xiugang suddenly became angry.
"Sister, it's our mother who is detained, and Fangfang is your niece. How can you help outsiders bully your own family?"
Zhao Xiulan glared at Zhao Xiugang, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Are you stupid? Do you think Jiang Xianli is still the Jiang Xianli who stood at your doorstep and watched you eat a piece of meat with envy when you were a child? Now she is the fourth daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and her sister Jiang Xianhui is now married to the richest man Zhou Kunhao.
You pig-brained idiot, face the reality. The Jiang family can no longer be bullied by us.
Besides, the vase that our mother broke belonged to the second son of the Xie family, and the one that was scalded was also his servant. Fangfang was going to enter his room and set a trap for him. Gao Shuhua, the wife of the Xie family, was not a pushover. When Xie Xiangan cheated on her, she directly forced Xie Xiangan to leave the house.
If you continue to make trouble, our whole family might be expelled from Haiping City."
Zhao Xiugang was not convinced, "No matter how powerful the Xie family is, they are just businessmen. How can they be more powerful than your father-in-law? If you use your connections to find someone, everything will be solved."
"To tell you the truth, my father-in-law can't even find a job for your niece now. He's been retired for so many years, who still remembers him? For now, we should seize the opportunity to repair our relationship with Zhao Xiumei. If we can get close to Zhao Xiumei, we will get close to Jiang Xianli and Jiang Xianhui. In this way, when they eat meat in the future, we can also drink some soup."
Even though Zhao Xiugang was extremely unwilling, he could do nothing about it.
The world has really changed. Money is everything now.
He walked over to Chen Dong and said, "For the sake of my niece's jealousy, 200 is fine."
He turned around and pulled Zhao Fang and said, "Let's go to the hospital."
Chen Dong had to see Zhao Fang have the abortion with his own eyes before he could feel at ease, so he went with her.
When Jiang Xianli returned home, it was already past one in the afternoon, and she was extremely hungry.
Thanks to Aunt Wang who left some food for her in the kitchen.
Stir-fried chicken with chestnuts, spiced beef, stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms, fried tofu with green onions, and orange-yellow fragrant old hen soup.
Jiang Xianli ate a big bowl of rice directly.
After a full meal, I slept until four in the afternoon. After reading for a while, I received a call from Qin Xuan.
"Bao, there's a new entertainment club called 'Twilight' that's opened recently. I heard it's pretty good. Let's go out and have some fun tonight."
Jiang Xianli thought about what the doctor said about her vomiting being caused by stress, so she said, "Okay."
Qin Xuan: "See you at 8 o'clock in the evening."
At half past seven, Jiang Xianli changed into a long-sleeved dress with floral patterns and put on some simple makeup.
Then she knocked on the study door.
"Come in." Xie Jingcheng's faint voice came from inside.
Seeing Jiang Xianli push the door open, a hint of gentleness appeared on his serious face.
"It's late at night, and you're not only wearing a skirt, but also putting on makeup. What are you going to do?"
"Qin Xuan asked me to go to Twilight to play, are you going?"
Xie Jingcheng closed the documents in his hand, stood up, held her hand and said, "Go, of course. From now on, you are not allowed to go to places like this when I am not here, understand?"
That kind of place is full of all kinds of people, and his wife is so beautiful, he doesn't want her to be peeped at by other men.
Jiang Xianli held his arm and smiled brightly, "I understand, Master."
At eight o'clock, the two arrived at "Twilight" on time. Qin Xuan and Lu Jiaheng were already waiting at the door.
"Bao, here!"
Qin Xuan waved to Jiang Xianli. She was wearing a pink lace blouse and a rose-red miniskirt today.
Although it is very gorgeous, it doesn't look vulgar on her, but instead makes her look playful and cute.
But Jiang Xianli couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you cold?"
"Hey, I have my coat in the car, so I won't feel cold when I have fun."
"Okay, let's go in then."
Qin Xuan smiled, "Wait a little longer, there's also Lan Mo, we can't lose any of the five of us."
As she spoke, Lan Mo drove over in the second-hand van she had bought.
But as soon as she got off the car, she felt a headache when she saw the four people standing at the golden gate.
Qin Xuan called her and told her that she had made an appointment with Jiang Xianli, and she thought it was just the three of them.
I didn't expect that there would be two more burdens. It's another day of being a super bright light bulb.
Qin Xuan hugged Lan Mo's neck and said with a smile, "Come on, sister, I'll find eight male models to dance with you later."
Lan Mo curled her lips, "Thank you so much, you are really my half-sister."
"That's a must!"
The five people entered the club, which was decorated in a stylish and elegant style, and the waiters were all respectful.
They first chose a table and ordered two bottles of wine.
There were people singing and playing the piano on the stage, which was quite novel.
Because Jiang Xianli's stomach was not in good condition, she did not drink any alcohol and asked the waiter to bring her a glass of juice.
Just after taking a sip, I heard the host say, "Now, let's invite our best dancer from Twilight, Black Rose, to dance a palm dance for everyone."
"good!"
The audience applauded.
Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Dancing on the palm, isn't that what ancient beauties danced? It's interesting to see such an elegant dance in this kind of place."
But none of them expected that the dancer was actually an old acquaintance of theirs.
Qin Xuan's smile faltered. "Fuck, isn't this your former sister-in-law, He Xinran?"
Jiang Xianli took a closer look and found that it was true.
Although she was wearing a dance dress and heavy makeup, her facial features and figure were exactly her!
Think about it, the He family lost their jobs because of her, so their family would definitely not forgive her. It is possible that she was forced to come to a place like this to make money.
She could make a lot of money here quickly, and she used to be a dancer, so she could be considered to be returning to her old profession.
It’s just that the place where you dance is different, and the audience in the audience is also different.
