The Xiong family members' faces turned pale, and they looked like they wanted to get angry but didn't dare to, which made Zhu feel very happy.
After a long while, Father Xiong gritted his teeth and asked, "Director Zhu, what do you want to talk to us about?"
"No rush, first tell me how you got the injuries on your body. Is the person from this area?"
"no."
"Where is that from?"
Seeing her constantly exposing his family's scars, Father Xiong could no longer bear it and replied bluntly, "Director Zhu, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't need to tell you. My family is not convenient to entertain guests right now. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. If not, I won't send you off."
The worse his mood became, the happier Zhu became. "A neighborhood office worker like me has a duty called mediating relationships with the masses. When you have a conflict with others, it's my time to fulfill my duty. How can you say it has nothing to do with me?"
"Don't bother with that, we can handle this ourselves."
"It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how kind a person is." Zhu smacked her lips and taunted him again before getting to the point. "I came here to tell you something. Do you know who I saw today?"
The Xiong family members didn't respond and just looked at her quietly.
Zhu was not embarrassed at all. No one responded, so she answered her own question. "I'm telling you, I saw Xiong Xue. She brought her husband and children to my place to handle paperwork. She even gave me some gifts to thank me. Actually, I didn't do anything, so I was embarrassed to accept them. But I couldn't resist them, so I accepted them.
Do you know how she got back from the countryside? Her in-laws arranged it. They not only found a job for her husband, but also one for her. Just think about it, how capable is that?
Speaking of Xiaoxue, she suffered for more than ten years, but now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hardship and will enjoy happiness in the future. You don’t know that when she came here today, even her father-in-law came with her. How much do you think she must be liked by her in-laws?
I asked you to treat her better, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened. No one can get any attention from her.
I remember that you wanted to sell her to a fool as his wife. To be honest, if you had listened to me, the betrothal gifts you received would be more than what you earned from selling her."
She knew that Xiong Xue had not returned to the Xiong family, so she used gifts to stimulate them.
Saying that Xiong Xue is now successful and grateful is to make them feel regretful or angry.
Ending with a high bride price is to arouse their greed and make them go to Tang County.
Even though Xiong's father wants Xiong Xue to die outside, the problem is that doing so does not mean severing ties with her.
To put it simply, everyone understood it, but they didn't make it clear, didn't sign any document, and didn't ask anyone to witness the severance of the relationship, so Xiong Xue was still a member of the Xiong family.
This is somewhat similar to the situation of Li Qiang's wife Qin Hua.
At the beginning, Qin Hua's parents sold her to Li Jiafu's family, but later they were still able to collect food for her in the name of her parents.
Only after the severance of the relationship under the witness of the team leader and the villagers did the two sides completely break off relations.
Therefore, it is okay for Mr. and Mrs. Xiong to ask the Liu family for a betrothal gift, as they are qualified.
When the Xiong family heard the first sentence, they couldn't stop the anger from rising in their hearts.
After hearing this, I immediately lost my mind.
Father Xiong slammed the table and roared, "Big Brother, Second Brother, go call all our relatives and friends and tell them I have something to talk to them about."
Seeing this scene, Zhu was delighted. She was not afraid of you going, but she was afraid that you did not dare to go.
Just in case, she added fuel to the fire, "Old Bear, what are you calling for? Are you going to ask Xiaoxue's in-laws for a betrothal gift? Let me tell you, her in-laws are not simple in the local area. Even if you can't get it, you can't do it recklessly, otherwise it will be difficult for you to come back."
Father Xiong suddenly raised his voice. "Why, someone in her in-laws' family is a top official in Tang County and has the power to control everything? There are so many of us, why won't they let us go back? Are they going to lock us all up? If you dare not give me the money, the wedding will be cancelled the day after tomorrow. I wonder if her in-laws can afford to throw this person away."
Hearing the words Tang County and wedding, Zhu was shocked. How did he know?
Then Zhu suddenly had a guess. Could the injuries on the Xiong family members be caused by Xiong Xue and others?
That would be great if it were true.
It can be seen that the money that Mr. Xiong wants this time is definitely not a small amount, otherwise he would not have mobilized such a large number of people.
Greed plus hatred, this time it's a sure thing.
Thinking of this, Zhu felt that she could retire after completing her mission, so she said goodbye, "Old Bear, think carefully about what I said. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not warning you. Okay, I've said what I need to say, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, she turned and left.
I laughed inwardly, thinking, what an idiot, he actually thought the only way to prevent people from returning was to lock them up.
What's more, locking up so many people is not a big deal. There are more than just the top leader in a county who can do this.
In fact, after the Xiong family was beaten in the afternoon, they learned from Xiong Yu about Xiong Xue’s current address and the news of her upcoming wedding.
But apart from these, they really don't know anything else.
Because Xiong Yu was worried that if he said too much, they wouldn't dare to go...
But even so, they still didn't dare to go.
Just as Liu Gang expected, the words Liu Yunxiao said before leaving scared them.
If the other party is prepared, it would be like sending food to Tang County for revenge with just these few people.
The reason why I didn't ask my friends and family to go with me was because I couldn't afford to lose face.
It is not glorious that the bear father wanted his daughter to die, and it is even more shameful that the bear mother was beaten by the people brought by her daughter.
So they want to swallow their anger.
