After learning that Wei Jinning was not his biological daughter, Wei Dachuan was filled with remorse. He wished he could turn back time and marry her off much earlier.
Now, not only do they have to return Li Weiguo's betrothal gifts, it's like they've cut a piece of their own flesh off!
Actually, even if she doesn't marry Li Weiguo, keeping her at home as her daughter-in-law would be a good choice.
In this way, she can save the cost of a bride price for her son's marriage and continue to work at home, which is a win-win situation.
It's a pity that Li Xiaohua, a woman who doesn't know how to manage a household, kept such an important matter from being brought up for so long.
When Wei Dachuan walked out of the law enforcement agency, he didn't even glance in the direction where Li Xiaohua was.
"Dad, where's Mom? My stomach is growling with hunger, why hasn't she come home to cook yet?" Wei Chenglong looked behind Wei Dachuan but didn't see Li Xiaohua.
"Your mother can't get out for now. That damned girl was stolen by your mother. Law enforcement has already arrested your mother." Wei Dachuan's tone was full of anger.
However, Wei Chenglong didn't care about his mother's arrest at all; his only concern was who would cook for him from now on.
"Who will cook from now on? I'm starving." Wei Chenglong didn't ask Li Xiaohua a single question; all he cared about was whether he could fill his stomach.
“We’ll go to town for a bite to eat later. Sigh, look how lonely this house is, we really need a woman here.” Wei Dachuan said as he walked into the house, plopped down on the sofa, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
“Yes, great! I’ve been wanting to eat braised pork and stir-fried pork slices for ages, but my mom’s cooking never quite tastes right,” Wei Chenglong replied, expressing his strong agreement with his father’s suggestion and his eagerness to taste the delicious food.
“Dad, let’s go now. It’ll take some time to prepare the food. Let’s just drive there.” Wei Chenglong excitedly turned around and went back to his room to get his car keys.
"Well, that's fine too. I was just looking for an opportunity to shake off some bad luck. Things have been really going wrong these past few days, nothing has been easy." Wei Dachuan shook his head helplessly, gently placed his teacup on the table, then stood up and went out with Wei Chenglong.
After enjoying the delicious food, the father and son drove back to the village, completely forgetting that there was a person named Li Xiaohua in their home.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened—Wei Dachuan and Li Xiaohua were taken away by law enforcement officers!
This sudden change threw the entire village into an uproar, with villagers speculating about what had happened.
Some people said that Wei Dachuan might have committed a crime; but others found it hard to believe, because Li Xiaohua usually seemed so honest and law-abiding, how could she have done something illegal and disorderly?
Later, a villager who worked in the city learned some inside information: "You wouldn't believe it, would you? This Li Xiaohua looks like a very honest person, but she actually dared to steal someone's child!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Who could have imagined that the seemingly ordinary Li Xiaohua would commit such a crime?
Everyone initially thought Wei Dachuan had crossed the legal line, but no one expected that the real culprit was her...
"Yes, poor Jinning. She's been obedient since she was little. I remember that little girl was doing laundry, cooking, and feeding the pigs at home when she was only five years old."
"Yeah, right! Jinning went to cut pig feed and almost drowned. My husband saved her and took her home. Wei Dachuan scolded her for not drowning. Li Xiaohua even blamed her, saying the pigs hadn't eaten today and she should hurry up and cut more pig feed. The two of them didn't even ask how the girl was doing or give her a change of clothes or anything. What a tragedy!"
"It seems that Li Xiaohua knew all along that Jinning was not her biological child, which is why she treated her so harshly. I was so naive before, thinking that it was just that her family had a serious preference for sons over daughters."
“Yesterday I happened to see Wei Dachuan go home and then drive away with Wei Chenglong. When they returned, they were both completely drunk. If there weren’t so few traffic police around here, Wei Chenglong’s driver’s license would probably have been revoked long ago.”
"I wonder which unlucky soul will run into Wei Chenglong. It's really bad luck."
"Just wait and see! There's going to be a good show coming. Now that Li Xiaohua isn't home, who's going to cook? Who's going to do the laundry? And who's willing to do the housework?"
"I've even heard that Jinning's biological parents are from the capital, from a wealthy family, and that they come here in their private jet to pick up their daughter. It's unimaginable just how much wealth they possess!"
"Is that really the case? Then this little girl Jinning is truly pitiful. If she could have grown up with her biological parents, she probably wouldn't have had to suffer so much."
"Now that's good, Jinning has finally overcome her hardships and transformed into a golden phoenix."
"She was born to be a phoenix, it's all Li Xiaohua's fault."
The quiet village suddenly became noisy as villagers gathered together, chattering about Wei Dachuan's family.
"Come on! Let's go see what's going on!" A figure came running over in a flurry of activity, shouting as he ran.
"What happened?" someone asked curiously.
"Li Weiguo from the next village has come here demanding bride price!"
"What dowry?" Everyone looked bewildered.
"Oh dear, I just heard it from someone. Wei Dachuan accepted betrothal gifts from Li Weiguo and plans to marry Wei Jinning to him!"
"Tell me, isn't this a tragedy! Li Weiguo is about the same age as Wei Dachuan, and his ex-wife ran away because he beat her so badly. Luckily, Jinning's biological parents were found, otherwise she would have fallen into a fire pit!"
