When Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu learned about Xu Mingyang's situation, they couldn't believe it. They couldn't understand how their seemingly good child had ended up like this.
When the second wife and the old man realized what was happening, they were furious and insisted on avenging Xu Yaoyang, demanding that Shen Can eat peanuts.
However, the farm felt that this was a tragic incident caused by family conflicts, so the farm did not get involved and would not help report the case to the police.
In this day and age, common-law marriages are universally accepted. Although Xu Yaoyang and Shen Can have never been married, everyone in the farm's leadership knows why they were sent to the farm.
Since Xu Yaoyang has divorced his previous wife, it confirms Shen Can's identity.
If this doesn't count as a de facto marriage, then what does?
Later, I heard that Xu Yaoyang had fallen in love with a female educated youth. In fact, the leaders of the farm all looked down on Xu Yaoyang, but that was not within their jurisdiction. It just showed that he was capable.
Therefore, when the second wife, Old Mrs. Xu, and Old Mr. Xu came to their senses, they realized that not only had they not seen Shen Can, the person in question, but they had not even seen the police. That's why they started clamoring for revenge and wanted to make Shen Can eat peanuts.
Qi Hehua was a smart woman. She knew that if Xu Yaoyang's family insisted on pursuing this matter, it would be a dead end for Shen Can. Rather than being passive, she should take the initiative first, so that she would have a chance to turn the tide.
Just as the two elders of the second wife were gritting their teeth at Shen Can, two policemen walked in. Seeing Xu Yaoyang lying on the bed with a deathly expression, they stepped forward and said, "Are you Comrade Xu Yaoyang? You are involved in a rape case. Due to your current physical condition, we will take your statement here first."
"A rape case?" Xu Yaoyang sat up abruptly in surprise, but due to excessive force, he pulled on his injured testicles and fell back onto the bed.
The two elderly people from the second wife's family were too frightened to speak. They were puzzled: wasn't Xu Yaoyang injured by Shen Can? How could there be a rape case? Was there something they didn't know?
“Yes, it’s a rape case. We just received the report,” one of the police officers replied.
The two police officers were furious. They were already unhappy that they didn't get a holiday on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and now they were being prevented from attending the bureau's dinner party. What had they done to deserve this?
Xu Yaoyang was completely bewildered. He was already so angry at being treated like this by that bastard Shen Can that he wanted to kill him. Who would be so shameless as to accuse him of rape now?
hehe!
rape?
This is an attempt to kill him!
Xu Yaoyang: "Comrade, can you tell me who told such a ridiculous lie? I've already been harmed like this, and there are still people who want to kick me when I'm down."
Police: "Comrade Xu Yaoyang, Comrade Qi Hehua reported that you tried to rape Comrade Shen Can, and Comrade Shen Can injured you in self-defense."
Xu Yaoyang was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. He stood there stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. Then he replied, "How could she come up with something like that? She even tried to play the victim. I'm not playing with them anymore."
Xu Yaoyang was so excited that he felt pain between his legs and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Police officer: "Comrade Xu Yaoyang, please straighten your attitude."
Xu Yaoyang was really furious, and he completely lost his former gentlemanly demeanor.
Xu Yaoyang: "Officer, my injury was inflicted by Shen Can. Someone was present the whole time. You should have gone to the farm to investigate before asking me, instead of taking my statement based on Qi Hehua's framing of me to help Shen Can escape responsibility."
Police: "We will investigate what you have said. We will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person."
The second wife's old man said, "Officer, my son was injured by Shen Can. Now we're suing her for assault. My son is lucky to have survived. Although he survived, he... he..."
The old man from the second wife sighed; it was truly difficult to speak of.
The police officer glanced at the old man from the second wife's family, then asked Xu Yaoyang, "What is your relationship with Shen Can?"
Xu Yaoyang: "We used to be in a romantic relationship, but now we have no relationship at all."
Police officer: "Tell me what happened at the time."
Xu Yaoyang: "On New Year's Eve, we all teamed up to cook the New Year's Eve dinner and then stayed up together. Just as we were cooking, Shen Can came over to block us. When she saw my girlfriend was there, she suddenly went crazy and ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and swung it at me. I couldn't dodge in time, and I was afraid she would hurt my girlfriend, so I hesitated for a moment and got slashed. You can ask my attending physician how serious my injury is; he should be able to tell you from a professional perspective."
Police: "We will go to the doctor, and we will also verify your statement. It's best if you stay here for the next few days so we can find out the truth. What's your partner's name?"
Xu Yaoyang: "Fang Xun."
Police: "Does Fang Xun know about your relationship with Shen Can?"
Xu Yaoyang said guiltily, "I don't know if she knows."
Xu Yaoyang's shifty eyes did not escape the eyes of the police: "We will verify these matters. Please sign here."
As soon as the police left, the second husband, without caring about anything else, asked Xu Yaoyang, "What exactly happened? Why did Shen Can attack you with a knife? Did you really date someone else behind Shen Can's back?"
The second wife was displeased upon hearing this. She pushed Old Man Xu aside and said to Xu Yaoyang, "What kind of wife is this? How could you do such a thing?"
In the second wife's mind, since Xu Yaoyang and Shen Can were already like this, then Shen Can was Xu Yaoyang's wife.
Xu Yaoyang, enduring the pain in his testicles, frowned and said, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Second wife: "Didn't the police just say that Shen Can injured you? Isn't Shen Can your current wife?"
Xu Yaoyang: "Mom, who told you that Shen Can is my wife? We just dated, we're not married. Who says that dating means you have to get married?"
Even the usually sharp-tongued second wife was speechless after hearing Xu Yaoyang's words. At that moment, she thought Xu Yaoyang was a scumbag. If he weren't her own son, she would have cursed him for three days and three nights. How could a human being say such a thing? Who sleeps with their girlfriend while dating? Wasn't he sent to the farm for his lifestyle issues because he slept with a girl before getting a divorce?
Old Xu frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with your current partner?"
Xu Yaoyang: "She was an educated youth from the provincial capital. Her uncle works for the provincial government. Her going to the countryside was just a formality, and she will be able to go back soon."
Upon hearing the girl's qualifications, the second wife's eyes lit up: "A sent-down youth from the provincial capital? And her uncle is a high-ranking official? Oh my! Good heavens! Old man, our Yaoyang is going to be successful!"
