When Mrs. Wang saw that everyone was pointing fingers at her, she tried to defend herself, "I am Wang Heping's mother and Chunya's grandmother. I am the one who decides my granddaughter's marriage! What do you mean by selling money? That's a betrothal gift! Your family doesn't need a betrothal gift when marrying off your daughter!"
An Hua clapped her hands twice, signaling everyone to be quiet. "You all heard it, right? Old Madam Wang wants to sell her granddaughter. The human trafficker I'm talking about is her."
Zhou Meihua looked at Old Lady Wang with disdain. "Not only did you torture your daughter-in-law, but now you're even targeting your granddaughter! Are you planning to send Third Sister's daughter away to make room for Wang Heping's nephews in the countryside? You can do that to a four-year-old child, bah!"
This was exactly what she said. Old Lady Wang was not afraid at all. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, "So what? What's wrong with our family? None of you care! You all have nothing to do with me!"
At this time, Liao Sanmei rushed over, hugged Chunya in her arms, and glared at Old Lady Wang with red eyes, "Chunya is my daughter, don't even think about selling her!"
Old Lady Wang looked at Liao Sanmei like she was a fool. "Is that selling her? That's finding someone to buy her a house for her! Don't all women have to go through this sooner or later?"
"She is only four years old!" Liao Sanmei roared.
"How dare you yell at me!" Old Lady Wang said, and was about to strangle Liao Sanmei.
This time, Liao Sanmei did not endure it silently like before, she actually avoided it!
Old Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that her authority was challenged. She rolled up her sleeves, raised her hand, and was about to slap Liao Sanmei.
An Hua, who was standing close to her, grabbed her hand and said, "Old lady, you just said that this is your family's private affair, but I don't see that. The first article of the Marriage Law is to abolish the feudal marriage system of arranged marriages, male superiority and female inferiority, and disregard for the interests of children. The second article is to prohibit child brides. Your behavior is already against the law, you know? I can report to the police and have you arrested and sent to labor camp!"
An Huan originally had a pretty face, but now she was as cold as ice, with sharp eyes, and she even had some of the terrifying aura of her man. Old Mrs. Wang was frightened and trembled, her three-inch golden lotus lost its balance and she fell to the ground.
"You...you..." She pointed at An Huan with trembling fingers, unable to say anything.
It was not the first day that Old Lady Wang had been causing trouble. Other people would at most find Wang Heping and complain about her a few times, and Wang Heping would go home and complain about her a few times. Over time, Old Lady Wang developed the illusion that she was the most powerful person and that she was not afraid of anyone in the family compound.
But why is An Hua, who I offended today, different from others?
They also said that she had committed a crime and that she should be sent to a labor camp... Is that true?
While Mrs. Wang was hesitating, she saw her son running towards her in a hurry.
Her nose immediately felt sore, and she cried out in grievance: "Son, they all bully your mother..."
"Vice-Commissioner Wang has returned just in time," An Hua briefly explained what had happened. "The old lady has blackmailed my family. You decide how to handle this matter."
Wang Heping was so embarrassed that he wished he could stick his head into a rat hole.
He helped Old Lady Wang up, then bowed to An Hua and Xiao Xiao, "I'm sorry, my mother is from the countryside and doesn't have much experience, so don't bother with her."
An Hua smiled and said, "We don't have anything to worry about. We are just worried about you, Vice Chairman Wang. If you can't even take care of your own family, how can you take care of everyone else?"
Wang Heping knew this very well. Previously, Old Lady Wang only had a bad reputation for bullying her daughter-in-law, and now she had added the notoriety of selling her granddaughter. This was simply a stumbling block in his future.
He looked at the old lady pleadingly, "Mom, just think of it for my sake and stop being a demon!"
"What? You said I was being naughty?!" When had her son ever said such a thing to her?
Old Mrs. Wang burst into tears immediately.
"You are such an unfilial Wang Heping! Your father died young, and I raised you two brothers by begging for food. It was so difficult back then. I, a woman with bound feet, carried one on my back, held another in my hand, and swallowed my tears and blood to raise you two brothers... Now that life has passed, you think I am causing you trouble? Hey, I'm going back to my hometown! Your brother is not as heartless as you, he will take care of me!"
Old Mrs. Wang had said these words countless times, and she always managed to accurately grasp Wang Heping.
Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Mrs. Wang's life was like suffering from hell in order to raise her two sons. Wang Heping still remembers that once when he was a child, they hadn't been able to get any food for three days. Finally, they saw a stray dog on the road with half a steamed bun in its mouth. The starving old lady Wang somehow got the strength from where she stood on tiptoe to snatch the half steamed bun from the stray dog's mouth, cooked half a pot of porridge, and saved the lives of three people.
Whenever he thought of this, Wang Heping couldn't harden his heart towards Old Lady Wang.
"mother......"
Seeing Wang Heping's head drooping again, Liao Sanmei's voice suddenly rang out.
"Wang Heping, if you don't send mother back to the countryside, I will divorce you."
