Suddenly, Wenwen's eyes lit up. Seeing her third brother coming with two policemen in the distance, she winked at her father, meaning: Please start your performance.
Wen Zhongxiang, who was originally listening to Director Su and Lai Qiang's official rhetoric, was filled with grief and anger when he saw his daughter's hint.
"Your Lai family bullies my Wen family so much, isn't it because my father has been dead for many years, and now my future in-laws have been demoted, you Lai family are here to add insult to injury, right?
I remember that my father was on the front line trying to stop the enemy from harming civilians. He lost one of his legs in a bomb and almost lost his life. Perhaps among those civilians who were rescued, there were people from your Lai family.
Now my second son is also serving in the army, vowing to serve the country and defend the people. My son-in-law has gone missing during a mission and his whereabouts are unknown, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead.
You, the Lai family, know all this and are taking advantage of it to bully my daughter. You're trying to destroy my family. You're going too far. Since we can't explain it here, let's go to the police station and let the police investigate thoroughly." Wen Zhongxiang was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
With tears in her eyes, Wenwen took out the disability certificate, medals and her second brother's active military ID card left by her grandfather from her bag and showed them to everyone.
"Yes! Mr. Wen is a veteran Red Army soldier. His legs were blown off. He's a very kind person and he basks in the sun in the yard every day."
Everyone was talking at once.
"The second son of the Wen family has also been in the army for two or three years. The Wen family is a family of military families. What the Lai family did was not right..."
A few young people murmured.
"When Wen Lao Er comes back, he'll definitely overturn the Lai family. Wen Lao Er is not someone you can mess with..."
"The police are here," someone shouted.
The crowd hurriedly made way.
The documents of Mr. Wen, who had just been circulating among the crowd, were now in the hands of the two policemen.
The two policemen looked at the medals and certificates in their hands. They had heard what Wen Zhongxiang had just said. Soldiers all admired the veterans of that era. In those turbulent times, the veterans devoted themselves to the revolution without hesitation, their faith in the cause and their fearlessness. The soldiers were filled with admiration for these veterans.
The two policemen walked up to Wen Zhongxiang, returned the certificate and medal to him, and saluted him solemnly.
Wen Zhongxiang's eyes were filled with tears as if he saw his father when he was young.
The two policemen pulled out their ID cards and said, "We are from the police station. What happened?"
"With so many people here, are you planning to cause trouble?" one of the policemen said to Lai Qiang seriously.
Lai Youcai turned pale with fear when he saw the police, and even Lai Qiang was not calm.
He quickly said to the police, "No, no, it's just a small misunderstanding between our two families. Officer, please come inside and sit down."
"Misunderstanding? Deputy Director Lai, you think this is just a minor misunderstanding?" Chen Yuelian said with red eyes, "You are trying to force my daughter to death."
"No, this is really a misunderstanding..." Lai Qiang said embarrassedly
"Uncle Lai, do you know that it is illegal for you to spread rumors that I want to marry your son? Do you know that your son will be sentenced for this?" Wenwen looked at the father and son.
"Sentence? What sentence?" Lai Qiang really didn't know that he would be sentenced for just spreading rumors.
"You knew I was engaged and it was a military marriage, but you still asked someone to create a marriage. This is destroying a military marriage. Military marriages are protected by law, and your actions are destroying military marriages.
Article 259 of my country's Criminal Law: Intentionally disrupting a military marriage may result in a three-year prison sentence.
In addition, Lai Youcai's previous drugging was an attempted murder and attempted rape, which makes the crime even more serious."
Wenwen bullied him because he had little education and used the laws of later generations to scare him.
Wenwen did this because the police were around. People nowadays are not well educated and have no legal awareness, so doing this can scare people.
As expected, even the two policemen looked at each other in bewilderment. "Is there such a criminal law?" They thought, "Go back and take a closer look at the criminal law."
The people around are as quiet as chickens. If they also spread rumors, will they be arrested and sent to jail?
"You spread rumors that I broke off the engagement with the Yu family, but you know that this was the marriage that my grandfather arranged for me when he was alive. You said that my Wen family broke off the engagement because of the incident with the Yu family.
I can swear: unless the Yu family proposes to cancel the engagement, I, Wenwen, will be a member of the Yu family in life and a ghost of the Yu family in death.
No matter how much I say, bad guys like you will never understand. Soldiers, wearing military uniforms, leave their hometowns and loved ones and rush to the borders of the motherland to guard the country's security and the people's peace.
The comfortable life we have today is all thanks to the soldiers fighting on the front lines.
And what did my soldiers get for fighting on the front lines? They only got humiliated by your Lai family." Wenwen's voice choked with emotion.
After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame. Although they did not bully the Wen family like the Lai family did, they watched the joke from the sidelines and even spread false information. Rumors were like sharp blades, and they were being used as guns. When everyone reacted, they spat at the Lai family.
"Bah! The Lai family is nothing but scum. Police comrades, you must punish them severely and put them in jail."
Someone started talking, and everyone else started talking.
"How can a person with such bad character be the deputy factory director? He might abuse his power and undermine socialism." I don't know who was shouting.
In today's era, being accused of undermining socialism is extremely serious and is tantamount to killing an entire family.
Everyone followed suit and even called on Director Su to fire Lai Qiang.
Seeing the crowd's outrage, the police said to them, "Alright, now that the truth is out, don't believe or spread rumors in the future. As for how the Lai family's matter will be resolved, it depends on whether the two families can reconcile. Everyone, go home."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"We trust our police comrades."
