Yan Dagen immediately kicked Hu Xiangcao and yelled, "Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Then, with a smile, he said, "Officer, that really is our child. Is there any way to bring the child back to us? We just miss our child and want to make it up to him."
Police: "If you wanted to make amends, you wouldn't have come all this way."
Since no serious consequences resulted, the Yan family members were detained and educated for a few days, warned not to go looking for Guan Xiaoyu again, and then released.
"That brat watched her own parents get detained. Why doesn't God send lightning to strike this unfilial brat to death?" Hu Xiangcao cursed as soon as she came out.
Even if it's your own child, you haven't raised it for a single day, so what kind of feelings can you have for it?
Yan Xier wiped away her tears, "Dad, if word gets out that I've been in prison, how am I ever going to find a partner!"
Yan Zhaodi shrank back, saying, "My mother-in-law will beat me to death when she gets back."
“We found her such a good family, and she’s not grateful at all. She doesn’t appreciate our family’s hardships, and she doesn’t care about her own parents. She’s a heartless ingrate,” Yan Dagen said viciously. He had lost all face and would be severely criticized when he returned to the village.
“If our family were as rich as the Li family, I don’t believe she would treat us like this. She’s just greedy and ungrateful. She doesn’t want to acknowledge her poor parents and is afraid that we will benefit from her. Doesn’t she think about it? Without you, would she even exist?” Yan Xi’er added fuel to the fire.
Yan Dagen: "Did we give her her life? She can't just deny it like that? If she thinks we're poor, then give us back her life!"
"Honey, what should we do? Should we still go to school?" Hu Xiangcao had no opinions of her own and listened to the man.
Yan Dagen didn't say anything. He was a little afraid to go to the school again, fearing he would be detained again.
"Let's go home first and talk this over properly. She's dreaming if she thinks she can get rid of our family!" Yan Dagen could only resort to harsh words.
Yan Xier wanted to cry even more. What could she do if she went home? Her reputation was completely ruined. She couldn't find a good partner, let alone in the city or even in the village.
When the Yan family returned to the village, it was the dead of winter, and everyone in the village was staying indoors to hibernate, so their return didn't cause a stir.
“We haven’t been home these past few days, Baogen must be worried. I wonder if he’s been scared or if he’s had anything to eat,” Hu Xiangcao thought of her son and felt a pang of heartache.
Yan Xier wanted to cry even more. Her reputation was ruined, but her mother wasn't worried at all. Her brother was already so old, yet she was still worried that he had no food to eat. They had been detained for several days, and her brother hadn't even come to see them. How could her mother still care about him? Her life was so miserable. Why hadn't she been abandoned?
As soon as Hu Chuncao entered the courtyard, she called out, "Son, son, Mom's back!"
"Mom, Mom!" came a weak voice from inside the house.
Hu Xiangcao panicked immediately and rushed into the house, "Son, son, what's wrong?"
Yan Dagen quickly followed.
When the couple entered the house and saw Baogen, their eyes went black and black again.
Baogen lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a pale face, covered in blood.
"Son, who did this? Where are you hurt?" Yan Dagen trembled as he touched his precious son.
"Mom and Dad, where did you go? Someone hit me, it hurts so much!" Baogen cried out.
"Where did you get hit? Where does it hurt? Tell Mom quickly!" Hu Xiangcao barely managed to stand by holding onto the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Mom, I think my leg is broken. Please take me to the hospital right away."
Yan Dagen rushed to check on his son's leg. His calf was deformed, red, and swollen; it looked broken. "Who hit him?"
"Dad, I don't know either. Last night, two masked men suddenly came in and started hitting me!" Baogen was weak and spoke haltingly.
"Dad, it must have been that ingrate who did it!" Yan Xi said angrily.
Yan Zhaodi: "Quickly take my little brother to the hospital!"
