The harsh curses made everyone in the hall look gloomy. How could Xie's mother bear to see her beloved son being insulted like that? She stood up and ran out.
"Whose family is so wicked and smoking? Your family, your family, come and see! This shameless old woman is so foul-mouthed, shameless, her whole family is shameless." He said while clapping his hands.
Grandma Miao also followed suit, clapping and dancing.
The two old ladies started cursing at each other in the yard.
Qian Maizi put Xie Guangliang on the ground and shouted into the house, "Li Dan, come out here. You don't even know how to go home when you come back. You just want to sneak into other people's houses. Come back with me quickly. You little bastard only knows how to cause trouble for others."
Li Dan looked outside with an indifferent expression as his mother pinched her waist and scolded him, ignoring him completely.
Qian Maizi talked for a while but Li Dan didn't come out. She was immediately furious. Before coming here, she had promised Xie Sanwan that she would bring Li Dan home so that the family could have free food for one person throughout the year. Once the food rations came, the family would be much better off and Guangliang would be able to eat better.
Before she entered the house, Xie Zhengchuan pulled Li Dan out, followed by a group of people, including the village chief Li Waishan, Li's great-grandfather and several clansmen.
When she first saw the group of people from the Li family, Qian Maizi lowered her head in fear. She was a widow who remarried, and her husband was from the same village. Many people from the Li family opposed it at the beginning, fearing that she would not be able to take good care of Li Dan and would be sorry for Li Dan's dead father.
But Li Dan is fine now. The food his grandfather, the Xie family, gives him is much better than what she had eaten alone before. He immediately raised his head again.
When Granny Miao saw that the Li family and the village chief were also there, she didn't bother to quarrel with Xie's mother and hurried over, "Village chief! You have to decide the thirty thousand yuan for our family! Xie Zhengchuan and his wife are fine, but I don't know what they are thinking. They want to raise my grandson. The elders of the Li family are also here to see. They are trying to steal the child! Ever since Li Dan came to our family, I have been very sad! Even my own grandchildren can't compare to him! Don't you think so, Maizi?"
"Mom is right, Li Dan, why don't you talk to mom? Why don't you talk to your great grandfather?"
The two of them also subconsciously thought that the village chief and the Li family were here to stop them. After all, if they really let Xie Zhengchuan adopt the child, not only would the Li family be stabbed in the back, but their family would also lose face.
Li Waishan and the other members of the Li family watched Grandma Miao and her companions jumping around like fleas looking for trouble, and they knew in their hearts that what they were reluctant to give up were not their children, but their food.
Li Dan's great-grandfather was almost 80 years old. He pointed at Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi with shaking hands, "You are unworthy beasts, you have lost all conscience. And you, you still have the nerve to say you are Li Dan's mother. You colluded with outsiders to beat your own son and almost killed him. Now you want his food rations. You are dreaming. Bah! You are a family of shameless people."
The old man was very accurate in knowing whether to say it or not. He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Xie Sanwan's face, which made the Li family members following behind him want to laugh, but they didn't dare to.
"You fucking old fool, you dare to spit at me, I'm going to beat you to death." As he said this, he took off his shoes and took a knife in his hand to hit someone.
The Li family members immediately surrounded Xie Sanwan and looked at him fiercely. What a damn bastard, he wanted to beat his mother’s ancestors in front of them. Did he think they were dead?
When Xie Sanwan came forward and faced so many people, he immediately became timid.
Qian Maizi's face turned pale, because she heard that Li Dan almost died. How could it be possible? It was just a fever. He was so old, and he actually lied. He must be jealous of Guangliang to say this in front of outsiders. He was really looking for trouble for her. She had such a hard life, and it was all because of him. What the mother-in-law said was right. Thinking of this, she looked at Li Dan with even more disgust.
Li Waishan looked at Xie Sanwan's family and felt that he, as the village chief, had failed in his duty. "Okay, stop making a fuss. The Li family and the Zhengchuan family all agree to raise Li Dan. You have to agree even if you don't agree."
"Why? This is our child, he must belong to our family. If Xie Zhengchuan wants to raise him, it's not impossible. But Li Dan's food rations must go to our family, and you have to give me 10 yuan a month. Don't even think about it." Xie Sanwan said as he waved his hands at Li Waishan.
The Li family members all widened their eyes. They used to think that this person was stupid, but now they think that he is actually a bit stupid. What is he dreaming about?
If such a good thing happened, it would be his turn to jump around here.
Grandma Miao and Qian Maizi agreed with what Xie Sanwan said, especially Qian Maizi. She wondered why Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li were attracted to Li Dan. Otherwise, they had their own children, so why would they rush to raise someone else's children? Do you think she is stupid?
Li Dan felt so upset. Uncle Zhengchuan and Aunt Zhengchuan were always thinking about him, but he made them suffer so much insults. Maybe he really was not a good boy.
Just as he was crying silently, Huzi ran out and said, "All of you get out of here. Don't come to our house. Li Dan won't come back. He will come to our house. You are all bad people."
"Get out of here, you just know how to bully children. When I grow up, you will be old and I will beat you to death." Shi Tou said this while raising his little fist, then hid behind Xie Zhengchuan again.
Su Li glanced at them and said, "You are very brave! My son!"
Tiedan and Baoya stood on both sides of Lidan, clutching his clothes. He exhaled deeply and walked out. He was surrounded by people who cared and loved him. He also had to learn to be brave. "I won't go back. I'll stay at Uncle Zhengchuan's house in the future. Mom, I'll kiss you once. Mom, don't you want me? I don't want you either. Don't come to me in the future."
Xie Sanwan watched as the kids took turns scolding him. How could he bear it? He had just lost someone, and he couldn't beat these kids. "You little bastards, I think you want to die."
He walked over with a quick step and stretched out his hand to grab Hu Zi. Xie Zhengchuan pulled Hu Zi behind him and kicked him, "You want to hit my son in front of me?"
He kicked Xie Sanwan down with one kick.
Grandma Miao and Qian Maizi hurried over to help Xie Sanwan.
"Ouch! Ouch~ Someone is killing someone. Someone is trying to steal my child. What did my son do wrong? This damn beast is trying to kill someone..."
"Li Dan! I don't know what I did wrong to make you unwilling to return home, but how could you team up with outsiders to beat up Dad?"
"Xie Zhengchuan, these are all human beings. I want to sue you. I will sue you to the commune and the police station. Ouch, it hurts so much. Pay me money. I am injured. Pay me money quickly..."
Xie Zhengchuan: "Shut up, I'm telling you the truth. The hospital's medical report on your child abuse has been sent to the police station, and the police station has a record of your crime. Oh! By the way, the comrades from the police station may come to have a good chat with you later about the scars on Li Dan's body."
Xie Sanwan and the other two fell silent immediately, looking terrified.
"Impossible, we didn't do that. You're talking nonsense. They were just kids fighting. How can that be considered child abuse?"
Li Waishan saw that Xie Sanwan was just as Xie Zhengchuan said in the hospital, "Humph! You'd better tell the truth about what you have done, especially you, Qian Maizi, you are such a good mother! Li Dan has been working every day since you got married, how can you bear to treat him like this, he is your own son."
Qian Maizi now felt that Li Dan had brought bad luck to her, making her a widow and causing her current husband to be taken to the police station.
"You... it's all your fault. You are my nemesis. It's not enough that you killed your father and grandmother, and now you are killing your father again. You are an unlucky star, you... ah!"
Before he could finish the rest of his words, Su Li slapped him to the ground.
"You stinky bitch, if you dare to say that about my child, I'll beat you to death. Our Li Dan is a lucky star, good boy, you did something immoral, and you dare to blame it on the child. Aren't you afraid that his father will come to you in the middle of the night, a heartless, shameless ugly woman? If you dare to say that about my child, I'll beat you every time I see you, bah, shameless thing."
Su Li cursed while riding on Qian Maizi and hitting him left and right.
Li Dan was scolded by Qian Maizi just now, and he was deeply shocked. But when he saw Su Li beating someone for him, he suddenly felt warm in his heart. Tiedan and his children had not seen their mother so tough for a long time, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws for a moment.
"Ah! Stop hitting me, ah! Su Li, you son of a bitch, ah..."
"I told you to scold me, you bastard, and you dared to fight back. I'll scratch your face."
Seeing Qian Maizi suffering, Grandma Miao also wanted to go up, but Xie's mother pulled her aside. What a joke! How dare she bully her daughter-in-law? Did she think she was dead?
Seeing how majestic his wife was, Xie Zhengchuan ran his tongue across her teeth and touched her cheek.
Fortunately, I didn't force myself on her, otherwise I would be the one with loose teeth.
Su Li let her go when she was tired of beating her. Xie Sanwan and his family were cursing at her. After a while, comrades from the police station came over, questioned them, and took Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi back to the station. Along with them were Li Waishan, Xie Zhengchuan, and Li Dan.
Li Dan told Li Waishan that he didn't want to acknowledge Qian Maizi as his mother anymore, so Li Waishan took him to the police station to cancel his household registration and put Xie Zhengchuan's household registration on it, which the Li family members also agreed to.
After everyone left, Grandma Miao couldn't accept it anymore. She sat at the door and kept scolding Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li. Su Li simply closed the door, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
