"Have you visited her? What are her plans?" Lan Guoer asked.
"Of course Sister Yi Ru doesn't want to go back with them! Just by looking at the expressions of the Yi family mother and son, I know they have no good intentions! If Sister Yi Ru goes back with them, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
But she's also worried that the mother and son living in your yard might cause you some trouble. It's only been a few days, and I see she's lost a lot of weight."
......While Lan Guoer frowned and thought, several people had already arrived at the cafeteria.
Su Kun seemed to be very familiar with the team's cafeteria. He found a seat, settled the two women, and then happily went to the window to get his food.
"After dinner, I'll go see Yi Ru! Tell me about you, how are you doing lately?" Lan Guo'er and Chu Ying hadn't seen each other for a long time and didn't want to discuss such a heavy topic again.
"Not so good!" Chu Ying pouted, looking resentful, "Tell me, what exactly does your third brother think?
I traveled all the way to the countryside to see him, and he generously treated me to a nice meal! But after the meal, without a word, he drove me into his car, as if staying with me for even one more second was torture!
What the hell is this?
Lan Guoer: “…”
She lived for twenty-five years in her previous life and never had a decent relationship. How could she be qualified to be a love mentor to others?
Thinking of Su Xing's clueless look, she pursed her lips and smiled secretly, singing silently for Chu Ying in her heart, "Girls, don't try to guess what a boy is thinking. If you keep guessing, you'll be trapped..."
When Tang Zhan heard that his wife had come to the team, he ran to the cafeteria.
Lan Guoer and Chu Ying were talking and didn't notice his arrival. He walked towards their table with a steady pace, his expression a little serious. "Did you drive here again?"
Lan Guoer saw him coming over and took his arm and asked him to sit next to her. "It's opened by my second cousin! He said he wanted to come over to visit and learn."
Tang Zhan's expression brightened a little! He was really worried about his wife driving such a long distance alone.
At this time, Su Kun came over with a tray, on which was a plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of big pot vegetables, and eight or nine mixed flour buns.
"Wow! The food in the team is good today! There are even scrambled eggs?" Chu Ying said in surprise.
Su Kun raised his chin proudly. "I asked Xiao Zao to make this scrambled egg! Look at how greasy it is. Isn't it fragrant?"
Chu Ying opened his eyes and was about to ask Xiao Zao why he listened to him when he heard Su Kun add, "I told Xiao Zao's chef that I was Tang Zhan's brother-in-law, and Xiao Zao fired me without saying a word."
Chu Ying: “…” Can the fox use the tiger’s power to bully others like this?
Tang Zhan placed the food on the table and looked at Su Kun. "I heard that my second cousin is here to study?"
"Yeah! I'm almost getting moldy from being bored at home, so I came out to get some fresh air!" Su Kun took a bite of the steamed bun and replied whimperingly.
"Okay, second cousin, you should eat more! I'll arrange a class later and accompany you to stretch your muscles." Tang Zhan smiled, but there was no warmth in his tone.
Su Kun: “…” Why does he have the urge to run?
After dinner, Tang Zhan took Su Kun to the team. Chu Ying was worried that Lan Guoer would go to find Yi Ru alone and be bullied by Yi's mother and son, so she took leave and went with her.
The house was not far away. When she lived in the compound, Lan Guoer often walked there.
It was a spring day, neither too cold nor too hot. Lan Guoer and Chu Ying walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Lan Guoer was about to push the door open when a woman's sharp and shrill voice came from inside, stopping her.
"Let me tell you, the in-laws I've chosen for you this time are one in a hundred! His father is a team leader, and his family has five brick and tile houses. The key is that they offer three turns and one ring, plus a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan!
Tell me, where can you find such a good family? It’s hard to find even with a lantern!”
Then came Yi Ru's angry voice.
"I already said, I won't marry!
Even if his father is the king, so what? Does that change the fact that he's crippled? What does the amount of betrothal gift they give have to do with me? Will you let me take a penny?
You'd better give up on this idea! From the day you married me to that old man, our relationship was severed! Even if you die here, I won't go back with you!"
"Pa!" Mother Yi gritted her teeth and slapped Yi Ru in the face.
"Ah!" Yi Ru felt pain. She covered her burning face and looked at her mother stubbornly, with no intention of retreating in her eyes.
Chu Ying was furious when she heard this from outside! When she heard that Yi's mother had taken action, she became furious and was about to rush in.
Lan Guoer held her, put her index finger on her lips, and signaled her to be patient.
What Yi's mother couldn't stand the most was her daughter's arrogant, indifferent and overbearing look, as if she didn't take her as her mother at all!
"You damned girl, I wonder how long you can keep fighting me? Do you think I can do nothing if you don't come back with me?
Let me tell you, your man is on his way here right now. You're not going back, are you? So, why don't you just consummate your marriage here today?
I just don't believe it. After the rice is cooked, you can still fight with me with a big belly?"
"You! How could you, how could you do this..."
Yi Ru widened her eyes. She couldn't believe that her biological mother actually tried to force her to have sex with a man just for that little bit of betrothal gift!
Looking at her mother and brother who were staring at her hungrily, and her brother's hand already wrapped with a hemp rope, she kept backing away. She knew that she had no chance of escaping now!
She sneered, her eyes filled with despair.
Outside the door, Lan Guoer and Chu Ying heard the conversation inside clearly, and both of them were in disbelief! There was such a vicious and heartless mother in the world.
"I'll hold them back, you go and report to the police!" Lan Guoer whispered to Chu Ying.
Chu Ying knew the importance of things and warned Lan Guoer, "Then be careful! Don't anger them. Wait until I come back."
After Chu Ying left, Lan Guoer pushed the door.
As expected, the door was locked from the inside.
Thinking that the man that Yi's mother liked had not arrived yet, Lan Guoer was not in a hurry.
She glanced at her shoulder bag and found a small tape recorder inside. She had recorded every word of the conversation that had just taken place in the courtyard.
She found a secluded corner and slipped into the space, keeping an eye on the movements at the door.
Not long after, an old man in his fifties or sixties came over with a thin, lame man.
