Sheng Xijiang said forcefully, "She sowed discord and almost led Yingying astray. She even nearly colluded with human traffickers to abduct Diandian. For someone like her, I simply feel her punishment is insufficient!"
The old woman rubbed her eyes and said somewhat forcefully, "Aren't Yingying and Diandian both fine?"
Sheng Xijiang said bluntly, "She should be thankful that Yingying and Diandian are fine, otherwise her life wouldn't be enough to repay her debt!"
The old woman suddenly looked up at her son whom she hadn't seen in years. "What have you learned in all these years out there? Didn't learning only make your heart even harder? If it was your parents or your brother who did something wrong today, would you send us to jail too?"
The old woman still feels that what Wang Xiaomei did was not worthy of such severe punishment, so her family always has to bow down to the Wang family.
Originally, they were neighbors and would see each other every day. But now, the two families have become complete enemies.
Moreover, the Wang family has always been the richest in the village. Ever since the incident with Wang Xiaomei, the Wang family completely hated their family. They refused to take their son to do any money-making business, which made the old woman feel very uncomfortable.
All the discomfort must be vented by finding an outlet, and after much thought, the old woman decided that the outlet was her little son.
Sheng Xijiang stood up from the kang. He was tall and strong, and he carried an air of inviolability. "Yes, no matter who it is, as long as they do something wrong and violate the law and morality, I will definitely take action when I see it, and I will see to it to the end. The law is fair to everyone!"
The old woman stood up from the kang, "Sheng Xijiang! Are you really that arrogant? Then why not send your own mother to prison too!"
Sheng Xijiang frowned. "You haven't done anything wrong, and you haven't violated the law. Why should I send you to jail? Even if I send you there, the jail won't accept you. Wang Xiaomei's case was decided by the judge, not me. If the Wang family is dissatisfied, feel free to help Wang Xiaomei overturn the verdict."
Finished.
Sheng Xijiang walked out without looking back.
"Stop it!"
"Sheng Xijiang!"
The old woman called out twice, but it didn't stop her son. The old man who had been smoking a pipe next to her patted her leg and said, "The child just came back, why are you saying these things?"
The old woman slumped down in the corner, wiping her tears with her hands. "If it weren't for Wang Xiaomei's incident, would the Wang family's sons have taken people out to work in the fall? Would they have taken our eldest and second oldest sons with them? I heard from the people they came back that they were making a little over 40 yuan a month working outside. After five months, each of them made 200 yuan. If both of us had gone out, that would have been 400 yuan. We've lost 400 yuan for nothing, and you still won't allow me to say anything?"
Seeing the old man start to lose his temper again, he quickly begged for mercy, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything."
Sheng Yingying has been squatting at the door.
Seeing her third brother coming out angrily, Sheng Yingying wanted to pull him away, but failed. Sheng Yingying stomped her feet anxiously, but still pushed open the door and entered the main room.
Sheng Yingying, who had overheard everything outside, blamed her parents. "Mom and Dad, what my sister did was not kind. It's been so long since this happened, and my brother hasn't been home for years. As soon as he came back, you're bothering him with other people's family affairs. How can you be such a parent?"
The old woman was already furious when she heard her daughter's rebellion. "You little girl, you haven't even been thrown out yet, and you're already turning your elbow outward? Let me ask you, who is that young man who came with you?"
When Chen Lie was mentioned, Sheng Yingying blushed, "Mom and Dad, I didn't have time to introduce her to you just now. She's my girlfriend."
The old woman thought for a moment, Chen Lie was well-proportioned, which was not bad. "What does his family do? How many brothers does he have? How are his parents' health?"
Sheng Yingying sat on the edge of the kang, swinging her legs. "He's a butcher. He's the only one in the family. His father died when he was very young, and his mother also passed away this year..."
The more the old woman listened, the worse her expression became. "That's nonsense! Who found this for you? Was it your brother or your sister-in-law who found this for you?"
Sheng Yingying frowned, "Mom, what's wrong with Chen Lie? Do you really dislike him so much?"
The old woman poked her daughter's forehead with a finger. "It's because you're such a fool that I can be manipulated by others. How could a beautiful young lady like me end up marrying a butcher? Was it your sister-in-law's idea?"
"She's got a strange idea in her mind. She's already married to an officer, and you've watched your brother rise through the ranks, becoming increasingly successful. There are so many single officers in the military region, why did she choose to marry you off to a butcher? And you're still so grateful to him. Did a donkey kick your brain?"
Sheng Yingying jumped off the kang angrily, "Mom, why are you talking like that? I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I can tell who's good to me and who's bad at a glance. I'll never be able to repay my sister-in-law for all her kindness to me. Please don't sow discord between us.
As for Chen Lie, this is the person I'm dating. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law or my brother. I'm going to marry him anyway. Didn't you say that before? When looking for a partner, as long as they have good character and are hardworking and motivated, then that's all that matters. Why are you fussing about this and that now?"
The old woman slid down from the kang and grabbed Sheng Yingying's ear with one hand. "What kind of love potion did she give you?"
Sheng Yingying cried out, "Mom, you haven't even met my sister-in-law, how do you know how good a person she is? You're being biased!"
