"After I asked them for advice, several other people came to ask questions, and the elderly couple were very helpful in answering them."
Upon hearing that Sang Youde and Zhao Hui were veterans, the woman in red armbands subconsciously softened her attitude towards them, asking, "Can you tell me how you met Li Aihong and her son?"
Mentioning them made Zhao Hui furious. "Comrades, you must stand up for us!"
“Li Aihong and Lu Xuan suddenly came to my door, saying that my granddaughter and Lu Xuan were engaged before.”
“They’re bullying me because my daughter and son-in-law are dead, and my granddaughter has no one to protect her. They want to take advantage of my family’s infertility.”
“My granddaughter was never engaged to him. She is now married and lives with her husband in another city.”
“As soon as they heard that my granddaughter got married, they made outrageous demands, asking us for 100,000 yuan as hush money, or they would cause trouble at my granddaughter’s husband’s house.”
"We're both honest and hardworking people, and we're still living in the apartment our former work unit provided. Even if we didn't eat or drink, we couldn't save 100,000 yuan."
To make herself look more pitiful, Zhao Hui pinched herself, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
Sang Youde, not to be outdone, sighed heavily and continued, "We were so busy protecting our country back then that we didn't have time to have children. We only had one daughter in our lives, and she was recently murdered. They only bullied us because they saw that we were old and helpless."
“Back when we were at the state-run restaurant, I had already made it clear that we would never submit to their tyranny and pay them money. But as soon as we turned around, they started throwing mud at us.”
"We've been on the battlefield and fought the Japanese. When have we ever needed to retaliate against them in that way?"
“We really want to teach them a lesson. We could give that mother and son a good beating at the state-run restaurant.”
"We're not dealing with them because we don't want to cause trouble for the country, are we?"
"Now I realize what it means to take a step back and then get pushed around like that!"
Sang Youde was truly angry; his neck turned red with rage, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
The two men in red armbands exchanged a glance. "We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you justice."
"We also need you to give a statement and explain clearly how they extorted and threatened you."
Sang Youde said gratefully, "Thank you."
"I knew the country wouldn't abandon us veterans!"
"Even though our daughter is gone, as long as you are here, there will always be people who stand up for us!"
The people in red armbands were all fired up by his words, "Don't worry, we will definitely not let you suffer in vain!"
On their way to the Revolutionary Committee, Sang Youde and Zhao Hui were still shaken. Fortunately, Sang Feiyu had told them about this beforehand and told them to stay in a crowded place; otherwise, they would have had no way to explain themselves today.
Although they didn't quite agree with Sang Feiyu's method of revenge, she did indeed help them resolve a major concern.
Therefore, none of them considered criticizing Sang Feiyu.
When the two arrived at the Revolutionary Committee, Lu Xuan and Li Aihong were already dressed. When they saw Sang Youde and Zhao Hui, they rushed over like wolves seeing their prey.
Two men wearing red armbands blocked their way, and one of them kicked them, shouting, "Are you looking to die?"
"They're so arrogant in front of us, it seems they've bullied them a lot behind our backs!"
Li Aihong was furious and pointed at them, saying, "They're the ones who kidnapped us!"
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
Li Aihong stammered, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but they're the only people we know in Shanghai!"
"They are not related to you at all, so why did you come to Shanghai to look for them?"
Li Aihong quickly said, "We are in-laws. My son and their granddaughter were betrothed when they were children."
"We only found out after we arrived in Shanghai that their granddaughter had married someone else. They broke off the engagement first, and now they've kidnapped us. You have to stand up for us!"
The woman in red armbands said coldly, "You think a marriage contract is valid just because you say so?"
"Where's the marriage certificate?"
