The neighbors quickly tried to persuade him.
"Guiying, let's just let this go. Just apologize properly. Jianmin still needs to get married."
"What kind of wife am I supposed to marry? Those two thugs Zhang Qingli brought are bullying Yingying. Who can tolerate that!"
The Zhang family was stunned when they heard this.
"What?"
Zhang Qingli suddenly realized that the two people were gone. Her eyes trembled as she stared at Xu Guiying, "Where are they?!"
Xu Guiying sneered, "Those two beasts have been sent to the police station!"
Zhang Qingli's face turned red with anger. "What right do you have to arrest me! You hit someone and you still think you're right! Jianmin, this is your mother, aren't you going to do anything about her?!"
Song Jianmin frowned and said with displeasure, "Mom, what are you making a fuss about? I still need to get married. Don't you even see me as your son anymore?"
Enraged, Xu Guiying rushed forward and slapped Song Jianmin across the face.
Five or six slaps landed before Song Jianmin came to his senses. He shouted in disbelief, "Mom, are you trying to kill me?!"
Xu Guiying used all her strength; she was trembling with anger.
"If I had known I was going to give birth to a little beast like you, I would have strangled you in my belly and sent you out to wreak havoc on your brothers, sisters, and family. You shameless thing, don't go out and say you were born from me, or you'll bring shame to your mother!"
This was the first time Song Jianmin had been scolded like this by his mother. He had always been the most pampered youngest son since he was a child, and his brothers and sisters all indulged him. His mother had never made him do any work, let alone be beaten.
Song Jianmin was stunned by the beating. "Mom, what are you trying to do?!"
Xu Guiying spat, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Zhang Qingli was extremely anxious. She grabbed Xu Guiying's wrist and said, "I'm asking you a question. What right do you have to take people to the police station?"
Xu Guiying slapped Zhang Qingli across the face.
"You hit me again!"
Song Jianmin was terrified after being beaten, so he took a step back and dared not get involved.
The elderly couple from the Zhang family, one trying to stop Xu Guiying, and the other pulling Zhang Qingli aside, asked, "Qingli, who exactly are you talking about!"
Zhang Qingli could only stomp her feet and whisper, "It's Xiao Zhi!"
"What?!"
Zhang's uncle, Li Minggen, never expected that this matter would involve his son.
Li Xiaozhi was born to the Zhang family, but they couldn't afford to raise him, so they sent him to his mother's younger brother's home in the countryside. They always told outsiders that he was Li Minggen's son.
The two families rarely interacted. Li Minggen happened to be coming to borrow money from the Zhang family today. He heard that Zhang Qingli had been beaten, so he came with the Zhang family. He never expected that his son would be arrested!
The elderly couple in the Zhang family immediately became anxious. Li Xiaozhi was, after all, their own son, the younger brother of Zhang Qingli and Zhang Hongwei!
Xu Guiying caught her breath and sneered, "Those two little brats bullied Yingying, and I caught them and sent them to the police station. They're going to get shot!"
The Zhang family was furious.
"You old whore, what right do you have to arrest people like this! Song Yingying is perfectly fine!"
Song Yingying's eyes were still red. She hid behind the crowd, not daring to speak.
Old Lady Zhang lunged at Xu Guiying, extending her claws to strike her.
Xu Guiying had never been beaten in her life. She grabbed Song Jianmin, who was loading wood, and Zhang Laoniang's slap landed on Song Jianmin's face.
"ah!"
Old Lady Zhang was surprised to have hit her future son-in-law. "Jianmin, are you alright?"
Song Jianmin glared fiercely at Old Lady Zhang, but remembering that she was Zhang Qingli's mother, he held back!
Zhang Qingli grabbed her mother, "What do we do now? Song Yingying is fine, why did you call the police? They definitely didn't know beforehand, she's my friend!"
Old Man Zhang calmed down and pressed, "It's just a small matter, why are you calling the police? How is Qingli supposed to face people after this?! You're bullying her like this before she's even married into the family!"
Song Jianmin thought what he said made sense.
He frowned at his mother. "Mom, we can settle this privately. If you call the police and make a scene, people will laugh at us. How am I supposed to marry Qingli then?"
Zhang Qingli seized the opportunity and said, "I'm warning you, if you don't get my two friends out of here, I'm not going through with this wedding!"
The second and third brothers' expressions changed, and they both looked at Xu Guiying.
This is exactly what Xu Guiying was waiting for!
She sat down on the ground and started crying, "God, what sins have I, Xu Guiying, committed to be stuck with this group of unfilial descendants? Yingying has been bullied to this extent, and Song Jianmin, you irresponsible idiot, even colluded with outsiders to bully your sister. You are utterly heartless!"
The Zhang family's expressions immediately changed.
The neighbors had never seen Xu Guiying cry like this before, and they quickly tried to comfort her.
"Guiying, get up first. Yingying is alright."
"Your fifth son is really outrageous, still thinking about getting married at a time like this." After saying this, Aunt Wang, who was usually on good terms with Xu Guiying, helped Xu Guiying up.
Xu Guiying stood up and pointed at Song Jianmin's nose.
"Let me give you a straight answer today: with this old woman here, Zhang Qingli can forget about stepping foot in the door."
Zhang Qingli screamed in shock, "What did you say?!"
Song Jianmin didn't expect his mother to be serious. He tugged at Xu Guiying's sleeve and said, "Mom."
Xu Guiying kicked Song Jianmin.
"Get the hell out of here!"
The third brother, Song Anmin, swallowed hard, not daring to utter a word.
The second son, Song Yangmin, spoke up: "Mom, how about we discuss this again?"
Xu Guiying looked at her second son and, recalling his life as a hardworking ox in his previous life, refrained from scolding him and instead directed her anger at her third son, Song Anmin.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take your sister inside. Stop pretending to be dead and standing here."
The third son was speechless. Mom shouldn't take her anger out on him; it's none of his business.
