"Officer, they're harassing me. I've already broken off my engagement with his son, but they still won't let me go," Ruan Xi quickly said.
"Police officers, it was these two women who instigated my son to break off our engagement. You must arrest these two wicked women immediately!" Mother He accused.
Ruan Xi rolled her eyes in anger, "Don't you have any self-awareness about why I would break off the engagement with your son?"
"Your family wants to get married but is unwilling to pay a dowry, and you even want to live in my house. It's perfectly normal for them to suspect that you want to exploit our family's wealth."
"If this happened in anyone's family, wouldn't they suspect you were trying to exploit someone who had no descendants?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd voiced their opinions, saying, "It's obvious they're trying to exploit someone who has no descendants!"
"Who would marry a woman without giving a bride price?"
"Even a country bumpkin wouldn't do something so despicable!"
"It's fine if you don't give a bride price, then they won't need to serve your whole family in the future."
"No bride price is fine too, just become a live-in son-in-law!"
After hearing this, Zhao Hui replied, "He wouldn't even agree to be a live-in son-in-law!"
He Huaming's face flushed red. "What kind of man becomes a live-in son-in-law?"
"A live-in son-in-law is a man's job! You have no money but still want to save face, that's giving up both substance and face!"
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!"
"Everyone should remember what he looks like, and don't introduce girls to him casually in the future, it will only harm them."
With the police at the scene, the He family didn't dare to do anything, and could only curse inwardly.
After listening to everyone's chatter, the two police officers got a pretty good idea of what was going on.
They seriously criticized the woman and her family, saying, "You didn't give a bride price, and you still want to live in her house. Isn't it normal for the woman to disagree?"
"Moreover, they have already broken off their engagement with you, yet you continue to harass them, severely impacting their lives. We are issuing you this verbal warning. If we receive another report from them, you will have to come back with us for investigation."
“Officer, these two people aren’t her relatives at all. These two outsiders are instigating her to break off the engagement with my son. Don’t you really need to take them back for investigation?” Mother He said, still unwilling to give up.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xi explained to everyone, "My parents are dead, and I have no relatives. Fortunately, I still have my good friends and Grandma Zhao to support me, otherwise I would have been tricked by them this time."
"Grandma Zhao is a retired soldier, and Xiaoyu is a military family member. They traveled a long way to attend my wedding. After learning about my situation, I decided to observe their family closely."
"That's why I saw through their 'True Truth' program and took the initiative to break off the engagement. They didn't instigate me."
The police officer said sternly to the family, "You heard what the woman said, right? She has made it very clear that she wants to break off the engagement with your family. Please do not harass her here anymore!"
He Huaming persisted, "Xiao Xi, how about we have a proper talk?"
“We have nothing to talk about. I’ve said everything I needed to say. Please leave.” Ruan Xi gave them the order to leave.
"Are you still not leaving? Do you want to come back to the police station and have a proper talk with us?"
Upon hearing this, the He family members were so frightened that their legs went weak and they quickly fled.
The police knew that Ruan Xi usually lived alone here, so they could only tell the neighbors, "Everyone should keep an eye on each other. If anyone sees that family coming here to harass this woman again, please help report it to the police."
Then they reminded Ruan Xi to be careful when living alone.
After watching the two police officers leave and everyone dispersed, Ruan Xicai said, "Those people from the He family shouldn't dare to come looking for me again, right?"
Sang Feiyu disagreed, saying, "It's hard to say. They might not come looking for you during the day, but they might at night."
How could they bear to give up a girl who has no parents, a house, and a job?
