You should know that the Zhang family was ripped off because of the premarital pregnancy. In addition to the three major items, the woman's family also demanded 500 yuan, and all the items were kept by the woman's family. The woman entered the house wearing only a new set of clothes.
However, considering that it was their own child who had made a mistake, the Zhang family didn't say a word. They not only spent all their savings but also borrowed money from other relatives, with the Wang family borrowing the most.
Not only that, after marriage, Zhang Xiaojun did his best to give his wife the best life. Even if she often gave him a hard time, he just felt that she was angry about what he had done.
"Oh! That kid got set up. That bastard asked Xiaojun to drink with him. Xiaojun can't hold his liquor. When he woke up, he found himself in bed with that woman, and their clothes were disheveled. He thought he had done something wrong while drunk and kept swearing that he would take responsibility."
"If that scumbag and bitch hadn't been unable to control themselves and hadn't secretly reunited on New Year's Eve, which Xiaojun discovered, he probably wouldn't even know he was raising someone else's child after it was born."
Xiao's mother's brows were so furious they could practically trap flies. Although she wasn't home when the other party got married and hadn't seen what the woman looked like yet, she had heard her mother talk about the young couple's affairs more than once during the few days she was home. How could those people bully people like that?
"So what's going on now? What's Xiaojun thinking? Could it be that he still can't let go of that woman?"
Grandma Xiao shook her head. "Xiao Jun is a sensible boy. He didn't touch that woman at all when he was drunk that day. Later, when she got pregnant and married, she rejected him because of the child in her belly and didn't even want to sleep in the same bed with him. So the boy has never touched that woman."
“He’s honest, but not stupid. After finding out about this, he wanted to settle accounts with the other party, get a divorce, and take back everything. What kind of good family could produce a daughter like this? Even though we said we would sue her for molestation, the family still refused to hand over their belongings and insisted that Xiaojun was the one who molested her and that the child in her belly was Xiaojun’s.”
"This has been going on for two days now. Your brother and sister-in-law have gone over to help, but we don't know if there will be a result today."
After all, it was a matter concerning her maternal family. It would be a lie to say that Grandma Xiao wasn't worried. If it weren't for her advanced age and her son and daughter-in-law's fear of causing her any trouble, she would be going right now.
Unlike now, when I can only worry at home.
Gu An'an never expected to encounter something like this during the Chinese New Year. She understood human nature better; for those kinds of families, once the money was in their pockets, there was no reason for them to give it back.
As for the daughter? How could a family that would give her only a wedding dress and send her off with no feelings for her?
"Then let's sue those two for indecent assault!"
Grandma Xiao shook her head again, "It was very late at the time. When Xiao Jun heard these words, there was no one around. When he tried to grab the two of them, the woman actually stopped Xiao Jun and let the man run away. There were no witnesses or physical evidence. The woman insisted that Xiao Jun had acted like a hooligan and did not want to take responsibility. Even if we called the police, it was useless."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so worried.
Without evidence and dealing with such a shameless family, resolving the issue is not so easy.
"Grandma, who is that man?"
Gu An'an suddenly asked this question. Although she didn't know the implied meaning, Grandma Xiao knew that her granddaughter-in-law would never say such a thing for no reason. Since she said it, she must have something in mind.
With that in mind, she recounted all the information she had gathered.
"An'an, do you think we can break through her?"
Gu An'an nodded, "If his family were a normal family, we might have to take a roundabout approach. But since he is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family and is usually suppressed by them, why can't we use that to threaten them?"
Her smile was dangerous, but none of the people present thought she was going too far. To deal with those kinds of scumbags, you have to use special methods.
"Yes, yes, yes! How come we didn't think of that! No, I have to go tell them right away."
Xiao Yuheng stopped his grandmother, who was about to leave, saying, "Grandma, I'll take care of this. You just wait at home."
In this freezing weather, if an elderly person were to slip and fall on the road, the New Year would be over.
Gu An'an thought for a moment and followed, "Da Bao and Er Bao, you two wait at home. Mom is going to fight a monster and will be back soon."
It wasn't that she didn't trust Xiao Yuheng's abilities, but life had been rather dull lately, and she wanted to see some excitement.
"Eeya ya!" Go, Mom! Kill the little monster.
This time, the two children didn't cling to their mother; instead, they waved to their parents in a very cooperative manner.
Xiao Yuheng straightened Gu An'an's clothes before driving them away from Xiaowang Village.
The village was bustling with activity because of the Zhang family's affairs, and the car attracted everyone's attention as soon as it entered the village.
"A car! A four-wheeled car!"
"Whose relatives are so wealthy? They drive over to pay New Year's visits."
"I think this car is heading to Qian Daguai's house!"
"Qian Daguai? Isn't his son-in-law still causing trouble? Then whose side is this car on? No! I have to go check it out right away."
After all, it's the Lunar New Year, and we have to enjoy the festivities and celebrate the holiday. But now some remarkable people have arrived, so we must continue watching the excitement.
As the car drove by, a long line of cars followed behind.
Gu An'an glanced at the rearview mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips. The show was about to begin.
The sound of the car attracted the attention of many people, including the Zhang family. They were all excited to see Xiao Yuheng and his wife get out of the car.
"Aheng, why did you bring An'an here on such a cold day?"
"Uncle, something's happened at home, we definitely have to come and help."
Then he looked at the Zhang family and asked, "They still refuse?"
Zhang Xiaojun lowered his head dejectedly. "Yes."
"Then let's have some water and rest for a bit."
Xiao Yuheng took out two military water bottles, which they had specially filled with ginger water before leaving home. That family would definitely not let them in; standing outside all morning would make them too susceptible to illness.
It's not worth it for someone like that to get sick.
Seeing her calm demeanor, everyone seemed to have found their pillar of support, and obediently drank a bowl of ginger water, feeling warm and cozy.
"I heard that the man's family is from this village. Is he home?"
