Chapter 87 Cutting the Gordian knot
"Sister-in-law, this is a family matter. There's no need to go to the neighborhood committee, right?" Yang Xiaomei wanted to pull Yang Weihua, but Yang Weihua dodged and ran to the neighborhood committee.
Normally, the neighborhood committee should have gone off work at this time, but today is New Year's Eve, and all units have to send people on duty to prevent emergencies, and the neighborhood committee is no exception. The one who stayed behind is the director of the neighborhood committee, Director Yang.
When Director Yang heard that the old lady and Mr. Yang of the Yang family had bullied the martyr's family and even tried to seize their property, he was furious: "Isn't this bringing shame to their community?" So, without even bothering to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, he rushed to the Yang family with an attendant.
At this time, Old Lady Yang, along with her two sons and one daughter, was still confronting Qiao Chengting and her husband.
"Sister Yang, what happened here?" Director Yang knew there was a big conflict when he saw their cold and arrogant expressions.
"Director Yang, my daughter-in-law is unfilial. Not only does she not take me, her mother-in-law, seriously, but she also speaks rudely to me. You came at the right time..." Old Mrs. Yang perfectly embodied the saying that the wicked person complains first.
"Yang Hansheng, tell me, what exactly happened?" Director Yang has worked in the neighborhood committee for more than ten years. How could he not know the character of old lady Yang?
"This is what happened. My brother and I wanted to build a house, but we were short of money. My mother knew that Qiao Mo had some money in Yang Weihua's hands, so she wanted to borrow it to tide us over for a while. Unexpectedly, not only did his wife not agree, she also accused my mother of insulting the family of a martyr and wanted to sue them. Our family can't afford a daughter-in-law like that..." Yang Hansheng said evasively.
"I can't afford a man like you who confuses right and wrong, Director Yang. I want to divorce Yang Hansheng today." Even at this time, Yang Hansheng was still doing his best to protect his mother and brother. Qiao Chengting was desperate. She felt that there was no need for them to live together anymore.
"Qiao Mo is Cheng Ting's niece, right?"
"Yes, I'm my brother's daughter, a martyr's relative. Today, when Mr. Yang came, I don't know what I said to his mother, but his mother asked Wei Hua to lend the money that Qiao Mo had given him to Mr. Yang. Wei Hua said he had already sent the money to Qiao Mo, so his mother scolded Qiao Mo, calling her a cheap girl and a money-loser, asking why she needed so much money."
"They also said that I can't send her the money anymore and that I have to use it for Mr. Yang to build a house. Director Yang, please judge for yourself. My niece is a girl who hasn't even reached adulthood yet. She went to the countryside alone. How is she going to survive without any money?"
"How could the Yang family be so evil that they would even covet a child's money? Isn't this clearly an attempt to seize the property of the martyr's family?"
"Also, why did she scold my niece for no reason? Isn't it because she sacrificed herself for my brother that she has no one else to rely on?" Qiao Chengting explained the whole story in a few words.
"Sister-in-law Yang, this is what you did wrong. Qiao Mo's money belongs to Qiao Mo, and only she has the power to manage it. What right does Yang Weihua have to lend you her money? Also, why are you scolding her for no reason?" Director Yang was also angry.
"Director Yang, we are relatives. Isn't it normal for us to help each other? My mother just cursed at me casually. She didn't mean it. It can't be considered bullying." Yang Hansheng explained hesitantly.
