That old woman from the Zhang family spread her legs apart.
She had bound feet, her two pointed feet were spread apart, and she stood like that, with leg bindings above her.
He wore old-fashioned baggy trousers and a dark blue diagonally-buttoned jacket.
His face was covered with wrinkles, and his cheeks were thin and fleshless.
They didn't even enter the Xiao family's house before starting the traditional rural folk performance.
Swearing.
"Hey you, surnamed Xiao, come out here! How could your family be so shameless!"
Ah! My good son-in-law couldn't stand your family anymore and wanted to marry into your family, but instead you guys just locked him up in the police station.
Are you even human? That's your own son!
You just shut it down like that? Don't you have any family ties at all?
What kind of place is that? What kind of people live there?! Aren't you heartless?!
Not only did you lock up your own son, but you also locked up my daughter and son.
Are you even human? Why don't you get struck by lightning and killed?
You've really gone too far!
How can there be people like you!
Should I become a cadre? Waaaaah…”
His voice was loud and his manner aggressive.
As she spoke, her voice began to crack with emotion.
Unfortunately, not a single tear was shed.
There's no way around it; the emotions just aren't there, and I simply can't muster the feelings.
But her acting is great!
He kept wiping his eyes and nose with the back of his sleeve and hand.
It turned into a completely red mess.
It's obvious from looking at her that she's been crying.
She made quite a commotion.
People from nearby houses all came out.
They gathered in twos and threes.
They began discussing the intelligence they had just received.
"Could this old captain and his wife be so heartless as to detain their eldest son in the police station?"
"That's hard to say. Haven't you heard? Xiao Yijing is going to marry into the Zhang family. Anyone would be anxious about that!"
"We can't really lock him up, can we? He's our own son, how could we bear to do that!"
"So you see, the Xiao family isn't very good people. The third son and his wife are having a huge fight, and they even have their young wife running the household."
The parents were even more ruthless, sending their son and daughter-in-law to prison, along with their brother-in-law.
This family is no good; I can't get along with them.
Some people, upon hearing this, kept their distance from him.
He even looked me up and down for a while.
His eyes looked at me like I was an idiot.
The man was annoyed by the stares.
She got angry and said, "What are you looking at? Am I not telling the truth?"
No one objected, since the Xiao family hadn't said anything anyway.
They're just treating these people like clowns.
They didn't join in the commotion or try to stir things up.
Even if all else fails, there's still Xiao Laosan!
Can he let these people off the hook?
Don't worry, none of these people will get away with it.
Everyone turned their attention to Aunt He, who was standing next to Granny Zhang.
What is this older woman doing?
Those who were close to her would take a couple of steps forward and ask, "Sister-in-law He, what are you doing here?"
I was thinking of reminding her.
If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave, at least go somewhere far away to avoid suspicion.
It's really inappropriate to be so close to these two people.
If the villagers misunderstand this...
They thought she was leading these outsiders to cause trouble and fights in the homes of villagers.
She'd be tortured to death.
If outsiders ask them for help in the future, the villagers probably won't help them.
Even among the villagers, no one was willing to lend a hand.
In their view, this is betraying one's own people.
Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect, and Aunt He was still confused.
He quickly added, "Auntie, what are you doing? Let's go!"
As soon as Granny Zhang opened her mouth, Aunt He was completely dumbfounded.
No, weren't they supposed to be in-laws?
What are you doing?!
Why didn't they even come inside, but started cursing right at the door?
Aunt He froze completely.
Standing next to Granny Zhang.
They even forgot to move two steps to the side to avoid suspicion.
He just stood there with his mouth open, watching the people who came with him start cursing.
Aunt He: Oh dear, she's gotten herself into trouble!
They've caused a huge disaster!
I was actually planning to ask the Xiao family for help!
What, what should we do?!
Wouldn't this create an enemy?
Oh my!
Isn't this harming people?
If you're here looking for trouble, I definitely can't come with you.
Those of you who know, you know the place yourselves.
They were going the same way.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was deliberately trying to sow discord among the Xiao family by bringing them here on purpose.
After being reminded by someone, Aunt He finally realized what was happening.
He was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
Anyone who saw the anxiety on his face could empathize with him.
Filled with regret, Aunt He began to wail and cry: "That's not what you said when you came!"
You said you were related to the old team leader by marriage, that's why we came together.
You know the way yourselves, I didn't lead you there!
Although the reaction time was a beat slower.
Fortunately, they finally came to their senses.
Aunt He looked at the Zhang family couple and then at the surrounding area.
Looking again at the Xiao family courtyard, Aunt Xiao was walking out with an angry expression.
Aunt He thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh.
He sat down on the ground, slapping his thighs repeatedly with both hands, his face showing anger and grievance.
She was so upset: "God, open your eyes and look! How can there be such inhuman creatures?"
They told me they were the captain's in-laws, that's why I came with them.
How can there be such a heartless person who disregards the lives of others for their own petty gains!
