The security guards were old acquaintances of Guan Lian's father, and their family affairs were no secret in the factory area. They rubbed their foreheads, looking somewhat troubled.
"Why can't we talk things out instead of resorting to violence?"
Upon hearing this and seeing the person nodding to Guan Lian's father, Yang Chunhua was furious and immediately started cursing: "You're all in cahoots! Now you're ganging up to bully my son and me! This is outrageous! I'm her mother-in-law, how dare you lay a hand on me? You'll be punished by heaven for this!"
"And if you guys don't do anything about her, then I'll make a scene! I'll go to the office and see if the factory manager will do anything about it!"
As she was talking, she simply sat down on the ground and started crying loudly. She really felt wronged. Why did Guan Lian dare to hit her? Why did she have the right to do that?
"Look at any other daughter-in-law, which one dares to lay a hand on her mother-in-law—"
After the commotion, the winnowing basket they used for drying goods fell down in front of their door, and Guan Lian kicked it right away, saying, "Who's my mother-in-law? I don't have a mother-in-law."
"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness; after all, she is an elder."
"Elders? What's wrong with elders? Does that mean everyone older than me is an elder? Does that mean I have to kneel down and beg everyone on the street? There's an old saying that if the father is not kind, the son will not be filial. Even my own parents have never treated me like this, so why should I be filial to them? Besides, we have absolutely no relation now."
Chen Wei murmured a few words, "But, but..."
"What do you mean 'but'? You actually dared to come to Northeast China and snatch my son away! I knew I wouldn't be polite to you. We're already divorced. I'll say it again, we're strangers now. If a stranger comes to my house and disrupts my life again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Some of the older women tried to smooth things over, but seeing how resolute and fierce Guan Lian was, they were surprised and dared not speak, fearing that she would scold them all. What kind of place is Northeast China? How could she have changed so much in just half a year?
Not to mention outsiders, even Guan Lian's parents were surprised. However, after their initial surprise, they were very pleased. That's how it should be. If they were still as reasonable as before, they would be bullied to death.
A woman raising two children has to be a little bit shrewish.
Seeing that she wasn't convincing, and with his former in-laws frowning at them, Chen Wei quickly turned to the security personnel. Even if these people were acquainted with Guan Lian's family, they couldn't openly side with them in front of so many people from their factory.
"Fine, fine, since you don't care about our past relationship, then I don't need to care either."
"Comrades from the security department, she suddenly came to our house and attacked my mother and me! Look at my face, look at what she did to my mother! This matter must be resolved!"
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back to show them that his face was covered in scratches and blood was oozing out, which looked quite shocking. Everyone took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, neither mother nor son could defeat Guan Lian alone. If they had just started fighting like this before, none of this would have happened.
Of course, no matter how gloating you feel inside, you can't show it on your face.
“It’s definitely wrong to hit someone, but your situation is special. Although she hit you first, you both fought back, and there are two of you while she is alone.”
“We were family before, so I think we should just let this go and not act so impulsively in the future.”
Chen Wei felt a lump in his throat and almost suffocated. He had been beaten so badly, and they thought they could just let it go with a few light words?
They said it was two against one? Bullshit! Guan Lian was like she'd taken some kind of mad drug; she rushed over and started hitting him, and the others were taking sides with her.
No matter how you look at it, it's the mother and son who are at a disadvantage. But looking at the neighbors and the security guards, he clenched his fist and knew that they were all on her side, so there was nothing more to say.
"Come on, young man, let's go home with Dad!"
It's no exaggeration to say that Yang Chunhua's world collapsed today. Not only was she beaten in front of her neighbors of many years by her daughter-in-law, who had endured so much humiliation under her thumb, but she also hoped that her son and the security guards could help her get justice. In the end, neither of them did anything to her.
"She's the one who hit people, why should we leave? Take her to the police station. She even hit her mother-in-law! What an unfilial thing! Drag her out into the street and parade her around for public criticism!"
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her. Chen Wei suddenly rushed over, grabbed Xiaosheng's hand, and tried to pull him into the house. Guan Lian hurriedly grabbed her son's other hand.
"Chen Wei, let him go!"
"This is my son, why should I release him!"
