Pull Yu Cuifen aside.
Looking at Ye Qing, he asked with concern, "Little sister, are you okay?"
Ye Qing shook his head and handed the stone to Ye Lin, "Third brother, come and break the lock. Xiaolan is in this room."
On the way here, Ye Lin had already heard about Ye Qing and Ma Xiaolan. He didn't ask anything at this time, but picked up a stone and smashed the lock.
Ma Dabing also ran to the backyard at this time. Seeing Ye Lin trying to break down the door of the wing room, he shouted, "Stop!"
Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Ye Lin was very strong and broke the lock in one go.
Ma Xiaolan ran out of the room crying and threw herself into Ye Qing's arms, "Sister Ye Qing."
After not seeing each other for just over ten days, Ma Xiaolan had lost a lot of weight and the baby fat on her face was gone. Ye Qing couldn't help but feel distressed.
Looking at the Ma Dadan couple who wanted to come over and pull Ma Xiaolan away but were afraid of Ye Lin who was holding a stone beside them, they asked, "Xiaolan is your biological daughter, why do you treat her like this?
She is a human being, not an animal that you can just lock up."
Ma Dare, "Xiaolan is our daughter, we raised her, we can do whatever we want with her."
As he said this, he walked forward and tried to pull Xiaolan over.
Ma Xiaolan was so scared that she quickly stepped back.
At this time, Ye Lin stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Qing and Ma Xiaolan.
He stared at Ma Dadan closely and said, "Uncle, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Why are you always thinking about getting physical?"
Ma Dabing looked at the tall and strong Ye Lin in front of him, swallowed his saliva and said, "Who wants to make a move? I have something to say to my daughter."
Ma Xiaolan said from behind, "I have nothing to say to you."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Qing with red eyes, "Sister Ye Qing, my parents wanted to marry me to a fool in town, but I didn't want to, so they locked me up.
My mother wasn't seriously ill at all; she tricked me into coming back so I could get married."
It’s actually true.
Ye Qing thought in his heart.
Seeing that Ma Xiaolan was still afraid, Ye Qing comforted her, "Don't be afraid. This is not the old society where marriages are based on parents' orders and matchmakers' words.
Nowadays, people are free to fall in love and marry, and no one can force you to do it if you don’t want to.”
Yu Cuifen was unhappy after hearing this, "You're talking nonsense, nowadays it's not the parents who decide who gets married.
My daughter can marry whomever I want."
Seeing how ignorant they were, Ye Qing didn't want to talk to them any more.
Because no matter how much you say, they won't listen.
He called Ye Lin and wanted to take Ma Xiaolan away.
"Since Auntie is not sick, I will take Xiaolan back to North City to continue working."
Ma Dadan and Yu Cuifen were waiting to get the betrothal money, so how could they let Ma Xiaolan leave with them?
He quickly stepped forward to stop them, "Why are you taking my daughter away? Let Xiaolan go."
At this time, the neighbors who heard the noise from the Ma family rushed over.
Yu Cuifen saw them and hurriedly said, "Everyone come and help! These two people want to take Xiaolan away. They are human traffickers. Everyone come and help."
Ma Dare followed and echoed, "Yes, everyone come and help, these two outsiders bullied our village because there was no one there, and they even caught up with the village to rob people."
When Ma Xiaolan heard her parents talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong, she shouted, "Uncles and aunts, don't believe what my parents say.
The two of them wanted to marry me to the town idiot, and when I refused, they locked me up.
Sister Ye Qing and Brother Ye Lin are here to save me. They are good people."
The woman walking in front said, "Xiao Lan is right. Yu Cuifen and her husband want her to marry into the Ma family in town. I saw them coming here for a blind date a few days ago."
Someone else echoed, "I saw it too. Ma Er's wife came with their youngest son."
"Their youngest son does have some mental problems. My son used to go to school with him in town.
Ben Lao and I were in the same first grade together. Later, my son was in the fifth grade, but he was still in the first grade.
Someone couldn't stand it and said, "I say, Ma Dadan, you two are really bad guys. How could you push your daughter into the fire?"
"That's right. Xiaolan is pretty and can make money. Why did she choose someone with problems? Are there any parents like you?"
"Before, they wanted to marry Xiaolan to the old bachelor from Hejiaying next door. After Xiaolan ran away, they thought they had changed their ways. Unexpectedly, the new one they found was not as good as the previous one."
"I say, Ma Dadan, Xiaolan is such a sensible child. When she was only a few years old, she helped with housework and took care of her younger siblings. When she grows up, she can go out to work and earn money.
What were you thinking? You actually found her a husband like that."
"That's what I mean. You locked Xiaolan up even though she didn't want to. How can you do that?"
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen Xiaolan go out these past few days. It turns out she was locked up by you and your wife."
…
Ma Dabing's face turned red with anger as he listened to the villagers' accusations against them.
He cursed, "Bullshit, my daughter is mine, I can marry whoever I want, you have no right to interfere."
Yu Cuifen sat on the ground, crying and shouting, "We are all doing this for Xiaolan's own good. What future can she have as a nanny in the city? She still has to come back to her family.
Ma Er's family is well-off. They own a house in town and a repair shop. Xiaolan will have no worries about food and clothing if she marries him.
And their youngest son is not stupid at all, he is just too honest and doesn't know how to speak.
"From what you said, it seems as if we, my husband and I, deliberately harmed our daughter. She is our biological child. How could we deliberately harm her? It's really unreasonable."
Looking at Ma Dadan and his wife, one cursing and the other crying, Ye Qing felt both angry and helpless.
He shouted to the crowd, "Uncles and ladies, can anyone go and call the brigade secretary over? Let him come and judge the situation."
In villages of this era, the brigade secretary is more effective than the police.
You said she wasn't afraid of going to the police, but she was afraid of going to the brigade secretary.
Sure enough, when Ma Dabing and Yu Cuifen heard Ye Qing say that he wanted to find the brigade secretary, their expressions changed instantly.
A young expert glanced at Ye Qing shyly, raised his hand and said, "I'll go."
Ye Qing found the man who was talking and said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother."
Seeing Ye Qing smiling so sweetly, the man's face turned red.
Fortunately, he is dark-skinned, so his blushing is not noticeable.
"No...you're welcome."
After saying that, he ran to find the brigade secretary.
Soon the man came with an old man who looked to be in his fifties and had a beard.
He looked at Ye Qing and said, "Comrade, I called the brigade secretary for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
The man rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, not...not hard at all."
