Chapter 145. Guaguaguaguagua.
"What are you waiting for?" Xiang Yao looked at the reluctant Sun Qiaozhen with a hint of a smile, his eyebrows and eyes revealing a sense of unbridled arrogance. "Auntie Sun, are you willing to tell us where Xiaoya is?"
Sun Qiaozhen was so angry at being called "Auntie" that she was furious. Her originally sullen face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But when she met Xiang Yao's eyes that seemed playful but were actually full of threats, she could only suppress all her explosive emotions in annoyance.
What could she do? If this matter really went to the police station, she might not be charged with trafficking women, but she would be charged with forcing a minor into marriage.
If the matter gets out of hand, she and the coward Li Zhiguo will be in big trouble!
Unable to force a smile, Sun Qiaozhen kept a straight face and said in a cold voice to the crowd, "There's a family named Liu on my mother's side of the family."
"What do you mean by 'in'? Wasn't it your family that sold the person to that family?" Xiang Yao pressed on.
Sun Qiaozhen, like a rooster with its neck pinched, raised her voice to a shrill tone, "Sell her! She's my own daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. Didn't I find a good home for her?"
"Tsk," Xiang Yao didn't bother to argue with her about this. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is your mother's family? What's their name?"
She stared straight at Sun Qiaozhen, her eyes full of warning: "If you try to trick us with a fake address again, we'll come and cause trouble~"
"Then I'll find a loud speaker, call on my brothers, and announce your crimes around your house 24 hours a day. It depends on whether you can bear it."
The voice was soft, but to Sun Qiaozhen and Li Zhiguo, it sounded no less like the voice of a devil.
How could this woman have such a vicious idea! How terrible!
If she really dared to do that, how would the Li family survive in this area?
They can't stand a bunch of young men standing in front of their house and shouting "looking for trouble" with a loud speaker!
At this time, these young men hadn't said much or taken any action yet. What if someone else... they were scared to death!
Sun Qiaozhen almost numbly revealed all the information, then looked at Xiang Yao with an angry look: "Can you leave now?"
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "Don't be anxious."
She took a step forward, frightening Sun Qiaozhen so much that she took a step back for no reason. She said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I give you the address? What else do you want? Are you going to break into my house and search for that girl?"
Xiang Yao: "That's not the case."
She curled her lips: "I'm thinking about some problems for you."
Sun Qiaozhen was suspicious: "What's the problem?"
Xiang Yao: "Look, Xiaoya is only fifteen years old, not even old enough to get married. After we find her at the Liu family, we will definitely take her away. If the Liu family starts causing trouble then..."
"Tsk tsk, if I were a little gentle, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, but if I were a little overbearing, your family's good days would be over."
Of course, Sun Qiaozhen knew that these people would do this, but she had just been under pressure and had to reveal the Liu family's address, so she didn't have time to think about it.
After being reminded by Xiang Yao, she immediately thought of the series of big troubles that would surely follow.
She received a lot of money to marry Xiaoya, and she gave part of the money to her brothers on the same day to buy a job for her nephew.
As for the other part, more than half was spent. After all, running such a big family requires money.
If these people took the person away, given the Liu family's temperament, they would definitely ask for the money back!
That family is not a "gentle" group at all; they are all robbers! They rely on their own little money and their connections within the brigade, so they are not easy to deal with!
If they start making a fuss, she will be in big trouble...
Thinking about the possibility that the Liu family would really come to cause trouble, Sun Qiaozhen's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and the back of her head felt as if it had been hit by a hammer, tight and painful.
But now the matter is done, she has already told the address, and it is almost impossible to prevent these people from looking for that girl.
Oh, if she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have gone to look for that girl!
It really proved what the old woman said back then, that he was not only a money-loser, but also a disaster! He was determined to disturb the peace of the Li family!
The only bit of dignity on her face was about to disappear with the worry. On the other side, Xiang Yao was observing her expression inconspicuously. Seeing her expression, he naturally knew that this old Liu family must be someone who was not easy to get rid of.
She then chuckled and said softly, "I do have a good suggestion. I wonder if you would like to hear it, Aunt Sun."
Sun Qiaozhen no longer cared about whether she was an aunt or not. She immediately turned her head to look at Xiang Yao. Before her mind could react, her mouth couldn't wait to ask, "What suggestions?"
Xiang Yao: "If your family is willing to sign an agreement with our Uncle Zhou and his wife to sever ties with Xiaoya, stating that you and Xiaoya will have no relationship in the future, we will handle the matter of the Liu family on your behalf and ensure that they won't cause you any trouble."
Is there such a good thing?
Sun Xiuzhen and Li Zhiguo looked at each other and thought to themselves, they had never had any feelings for that girl in the first place, so it didn't matter whether they were related or not. As long as they could solve the problem of the Liu family causing trouble, what would it matter even if they signed this agreement?
Besides...
The couple was calculating in their minds that they were Xiaoya's biological parents, a fact that could not be denied by any agreement. Even if they agreed to these people now, if they insisted on looking for Xiaoya in the future, would that really be impossible?
It’s better to fool around first.
The two pretended to be reluctant and "considered" for a long time before Sun Qiaozhen said, "We don't want to sever ties with Xiaoya. After all, she is my daughter, and our family has been looking for her for so many years."
"But," she said helplessly, "through our previous interactions, I also know that Xiaoya doesn't have us in her heart, only her adoptive parents who raised her."
"Well, if that's the case, then go ahead and take her away. As for signing any agreement, if you feel it will make you feel more at ease, then go ahead and sign it."
I have thought about asking Zhou Laoer and He Jinfeng for some money by signing this severance agreement.
But when Sun Qiaozhen looked up, she saw Xiang Yao's expression as if he knew what she was thinking, and she was forced to give up the idea in an instant.
This little girl is the kind of person who would report to the police without saying a word, she can't afford to take the risk.
Well, I don’t have to pay back the money given by the Liu family now, so just sign it. What’s the big deal?
After a few years, when that girl understands things and knows the advantages of city people, she might even cry and beg to be recognized back!
Let’s see how she deals with that money-losing guy then!
Xiang Yao didn't care how high-sounding the couple's words were, as long as they agreed to sign.
She looked around and saw that among the group of people from the Shitang Brigade, only Pan Yi seemed to be in a trance. She thought, for this kind of thing, why not use the male protagonist's halo to make use of it...
So she looked at Pan Yi and smiled, "Pan Zhiqing is well-educated, and I heard his handwriting is also very beautiful. Why don't you help our Xiaoya to issue an agreement?"
She has never seen whether Pan Yi's handwriting is good or not, but generally speaking, there is no male protagonist in the novel with bad handwriting.
Sure enough, when Pan Yi heard Xiang Yao asking him to write this agreement, he came back to his senses instantly.
Originally, he thought that he had nothing to do with this trip, and it had nothing to do with his idea along the way that "everyone relies on his ability to successfully solve the problem." But after hearing these words, he seemed to have finally found the value, and his expression immediately brightened up.
He smiled brightly: "Of course!"
It turns out that the male protagonist is really good at writing. The words he wrote are quite elegant and the wording is very reasonable. Xiang Yao expressed his satisfaction and gave him a thumbs up.
"Since all the neighbors are here, please bear witness for our Xiaoya and this agreement!" Xiang Yao said loudly.
The neighbors, especially Aunt Dahua, shouted loudly: "We are your witnesses! If there are any problems in the future, come to us! Even though I am old, I can still live for another twenty years!"
Everyone was amused by her words. Even if some people were reluctant to respond to the question and did not want to offend Sun Qiaozhen and her husband, they just laughed and let it go.
On the way to find Xiaoya, a young man asked, "Xiang Yao, you said that if they signed this agreement, they would solve the Liu family's problem. How did they solve it? I heard from an aunt who knew the situation nearby that they took a lot of money from people!"
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. The Li family used the money to buy things, which naturally caught the attention of those who were interested.
Furthermore, Sun Qiaozhen's mother-in-law couldn't help but brag secretly, "This girl hasn't even been raised for a month since she was born, but she has already earned so much money for the Li family." After all this, wouldn't people who know each other well know the whole story?
Besides, why are Sun Qiaozhen and her husband afraid of trouble from the Liu family?
If they didn't have anything from the other party, why would they be afraid of causing trouble? It's just that they took the so-called betrothal gift and are afraid of having to return it, which makes them feel uneasy.
So, the young man couldn't figure out the money issue. How could he solve it? Should he ask Uncle Zhou to pay? But who knew his family's financial situation? They were so poor that they couldn't afford it!
Or should Xiang Yao and Chuan Ge pay for it? They may be rich, but it's not necessary to do so for other people's affairs, right?
It's good for them to come out to support the people in their brigade, but it would be unwise to spend a lot of money to help.
Xiang Yao smiled slyly after hearing this: "They didn't sign this agreement with much sincerity, so naturally, I won't be very sincere in what I promised them."
Xiang Ming, who was driving an ox cart nearby, snorted, "I knew you weren't that kind."
Xiang Yao raised his chin and said, "We must be as ruthless in dealing with bad people as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves! Li Zhiguo and his wife are doing nothing, so they deserve to be troubled by others later."
Of course, she couldn't let Zhou Laoer and He Jinfeng spend money to "redeem" Xiaoya, and she herself would not pay any money for it. Why?
Speaking of which, it was Sun Qiaozhen and her husband who were desperate and believed her lies. If they had left a little later, maybe she would have realized it...
Xiang Yao thought quietly, he should have woken up by now, but it's too late!
