When Mu Zhenting left, he called Mu Jingheng, Xu Yaozu, and Xu Mingyang along. It wasn't convenient to talk at home, so he needed to have a short meeting with them before returning.
Fortunately, they left early, otherwise they would have been blocked at the door by the people brought by the second wife's family.
When the second wife's family arrived, Xu Xinning and her group had just come out of the Chen family's courtyard. Old Mrs. Chen was already in a bad mood because of the accident, and when Old Master Xu saw so many people blocking his door, he got angry.
Grandpa Xu roared, "Who are you all? What's with blocking my doorway?"
As soon as the old woman from the Li family saw Old Master Xu, she tried to grab his hand. Fortunately, Old Master Xu reacted quickly and dodged it. For some reason, Old Master Xu looked at Old Lady Xu and said, "Old woman, I don't know her, and she didn't touch me."
Xu Xinning's heavy heart was broken by her grandfather's words. She never expected that her grandfather's male virtues would be so good, comparable to her father in her previous life.
Grandma Xu hadn't expected Grandpa Xu to pull such a stunt for her. She felt quite pleased with herself, though she wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so. So she pursed her lips, and fearing the younger generation would laugh at her, she glanced at the children with feigned seriousness.
Wang Ying hadn't expected the Xu family's elderly couple to get along like this in private, and she felt a little envious.
When the old woman from the Li family missed her chance, she wasn't embarrassed at all, so she simply started wailing and crying.
"My dear in-law, please save my precious son! He's been wronged! He's been framed so badly! He's my darling! If he dies, how can I, an old woman, live on?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law had already started singing, Li Jiabao's wife was not to be outdone, so she pulled her child and started singing too.
"Tada! You've been wronged! If you go, how are we, a widow and her mother, supposed to survive? We might as well go with you!"
Both Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were completely bewildered by these people.
Who are these people?
What exactly happened?
Why are you crying in front of their house?
If Xu Mingyang were present, he would recognize these people. Although he didn't get along with them, he had visited these former uncles and aunts' homes when he was young.
Xu Mingyang has grown up, and his body is very different from when he was a stick figure, so even if he were there, those people would not be able to recognize him.
Besides, those people wouldn't care about Xu Mingyang anyway, and that matter happened around the same time as their son's situation, so they probably haven't heard anything about the family reunion yet.
Just as the Xu family was puzzled, a member of the commune who had come from the second branch of the Xu family revealed the identities of these people.
Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu suddenly realized that the beast's family was actually begging them for mercy, which infuriated the old couple.
When Grandpa Xu saw the broom leaning against the door, he rushed forward, grabbed it, and swung it at the group of people without a care.
Those people were also startled by the old man's actions, and had no idea why he was doing this.
Yang Chunqin felt that this wouldn't solve the problem. They hadn't even gone to settle accounts with them, yet these people had come to their door on their own. So they shouldn't blame them for being impolite.
Yang Chunqin told the onlookers to go to the militia team to call for help, then stood on a high place and shouted, "Don't you know how your sons were arrested from our brigade back then?"
Yang Chunqin had been doing grassroots work for many years, and she was very good at using her eyes and tone of voice. She gave those people a serious look, and the people who were sitting on the ground singing opera stopped singing and reciting.
Those people only knew that Li Jiabao was arrested in Xujiacun Brigade because of a romantic relationship, but they really didn't know the specifics. They didn't even know that the elderly couple from the second wife's side were also implicated. That's why they went to such lengths to seek help. If they knew the real reason, they probably wouldn't have bothered to come looking for him.
Seeing that they were all listening to her, Yang Chunqin continued, "You all know that the woman was Xu Mingyang's nominal wife when she was arrested, right? You should also know that sleeping with someone else's wife is a crime of hooliganism, right?"
"Wasn't it consensual between them?" someone muttered.
Yang Chunqin has become famous. I never expected that someone would say such outrageous things at this point.
Yang Chunqin: "If that's the case, what's the point of having laws? Why don't we have the police officers from the local police station come to your brigade and give you a rundown of the law?"
Seeing that no one was talking nonsense anymore, Yang Chunqin continued, "Originally, we would not have pursued this matter further if it had been handed over to the Revolutionary Committee, but it seems that you are quite dissatisfied with the ruling made by the Revolutionary Committee. So we don't mind going to the Revolutionary Committee again to express our demands as the aggrieved parties."
Upon hearing this, the people became anxious. They had come seeking help, so how did Old Master Xu's family become the victim?
“If you don’t want to help, then don’t. We’re all poor relatives. We know you’ve become high-ranking officials and look down on us, but you can’t just label us as the victims.” Someone retorted.
Yang Chunqin laughed, looked into the man's eyes and said, "Relatives? What kind of relatives are you? Besides, Mingyang is my uncle. This Li Jiabao is bullying people and now he's bullying our family. How can we not be the victims?"
Those people were also confused by what Yang Chunqin said. What kind of nonsense is it that Xu Mingyang is her uncle?
At this moment, one of the villagers who were watching the commotion kindly explained, "It seems they don't know that Mingyang was switched at birth by Xu Lao Er's wife. As the old saying goes, 'A rotten family is a rotten one,' and this whole family is no good."
"Isn't that right? I used to think that Xu Lao Er's wife wasn't very good, but the children she gave birth to were quite good. Now it seems that we have to redefine ourselves. Their Yao Yang seems alright at the moment, but who knows what he's really like inside."
The Li family was starting to panic. What was going on? Had their sister really switched Xu Mingyang?
However, upon closer examination, it's not impossible, considering the vastly different treatment Xu Mingyang and Xu Yaoyang receive at home.
If that's the case, didn't they just run into someone else's knife today?
Li Jiabao was scheming against Xu Mingyang. In the past, he had to be suppressed by his sister from the Li family, so he had to grit his teeth and become a cuckold. But if he were free from the shackles of that identity, would Xu Mingyang's ability and the skills of the Xu family's eldest son spare the Li family?
The clansmen who came with them now all hate Li Jiabao's family. Like father, like son; the whole family spoiled their child excessively, so it was only a matter of time before something bad happened.
If you're going to die, die alone. Why drag your entire clan down with you?
Before the militia arrived, those who could leave had all left, leaving only Li Jiabao's family behind.
Old Master Xu stared intently at the family. He refused to believe that they hadn't been involved in plotting against Xu Mingyang. Since they had, he would settle the score with them today.
