Xiao Jingchuan's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment. He never expected Meng Shouyi to say such a thing.
He's utterly shameless! They were the ones who tricked us into marriage first, and now they have the nerve to ask us to return the bride price? They're treating us like fools!
Shen Yunsheng was also so angry that her face turned pale. Her eyes flashed with anger as she kicked Meng Xin in the thigh.
"You scumbag! Look at the nonsense your father is spouting! He even wants us to return the betrothal gifts. He's just obsessed with money."
"Stop...stop hitting me. Let me go first. Let's talk about the divorce."
Meng Xin curled up in pain, secretly annoyed that his father couldn't prioritize. He was still in Shen Yunsheng's hands; his father should save him first.
"Father, quickly tell them to release me."
Just as Meng Shouyi was about to speak, he heard his son's cries for help.
Meng Shouyi also wanted to save his son, but the Xiao family had more people and more power, so he could only turn his attention to Xiao Xuemei.
"Xuemei, if you stand idly by, your man will be beaten to death."
"I...I can no longer help you bully my family. Even if my sister-in-law beats him to death, I will not shed a single tear for him." Xiao Xuemei mustered her courage and looked at her fierce father-in-law. Her father-in-law often beat her because of his background in the underworld, and she had long been fed up with it.
"You wretched woman! You're so heartless! If I die, you'll become a widow!" Meng Xin suddenly jumped up and cursed at Xiao Xuemei.
Seeing her sister-in-law instinctively back away, Shen Yunsheng grinned mischievously.
"Hey sis, do you want to experience what it's like to beat up a scumbag?"
"What...what do you want to do?"
Meng Shouyi and his son said in unison that they were both terrified by Shen Yunsheng.
Everyone was shocked; today's scene was more exciting than watching a play.
"You little bitch, release my son right now!" Meng Shouyi cursed angrily, no longer caring about propriety or shame.
Seeing Meng Shouyi walk forward, Xiao Jingchuan grabbed his collar and threw him away.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, Meng Shouyi crashed onto the bluestone floor like a ball falling from the sky.
"Old man, don't push your luck. You should have known this day would come when you bullied my older sister." Xiao Jingchuan's tone was icy, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that if he wanted to resolve this matter smoothly, he would have to take some tough measures.
He secretly plotted to make the Meng family father and son pay a heavy price this time. He not only wanted to help his eldest sister get the divorce papers, but also to make them pay for their previous actions.
Xiao Wenjing pushed his eldest daughter out and ordered in a loud voice, "Xuemei, you've been weak for ten years. It's time to let these scumbags know that the Xiao family isn't something you can bully."
Xiao Xuemei gritted her teeth, walked up to Meng Xin, and slapped him hard across the face.
"You dare hit me?" Meng Xin covered his face, looking at Xiao Xuemei in disbelief.
"Not only do I dare to hit you, I also want a divorce." Xiao Xuemei raised her head, looking directly into Meng Xin's eyes, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.
Meng Xin was stunned. He never expected that Xiao Xuemei, who was always so weak, would be so determined to propose a divorce.
Looking at his eldest sister, Xiao Jingchuan felt extremely gratified. He knew that his eldest sister had finally taken this step and things would only get better and better in the future.
"Big sister, keep hitting him. Just hit him back the way he hit you."
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and looked at his eldest sister. One slap wasn't enough; it would be best to return all the grievances she had suffered over the years to the Meng family.
Upon hearing her brother's words, Xiao Xuemei's hesitation vanished. She raised her hand and slapped Meng Xin hard several times.
"You useless piece of trash, I must have been blind to marry you!"
Meng Xin was beaten until he begged for mercy, and Meng Shouyi also kept pleading.
"Ah Xin's daughter, please stop hitting her. If you keep hitting her, your daughter will have no father."
Meng Shouyi lunged forward to pull Xiao Xuemei away, but Xiao Wenjing and his wife held him back tightly.
007 also joined in the fun, helping to hold Meng Shouyi down so that Xiao Wenjing could deal with him.
"Xiao Wenjing, how dare you hit me!" Meng Shouyi was furious after being punched. He was about to raise his hand to hit back when 007 stopped him.
"Damn it, this is really weird, I feel like someone is pulling me." Meng Shouyi couldn't help but curse when he realized something was wrong.
When Xiao Jingchuan saw 007 helping his father, he didn't intervene.
On the other side
Meng Xin could no longer bear it. He knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Mother, wife! I was wrong, please stop hitting me."
Shen Yunsheng knew that the person from the Meng family was not Meng Xin. As long as Meng Shouyi agreed to the divorce, the matter would be easy to handle.
"You scumbag, do you still want the bride price?"
Shen Yunsheng grabbed Meng Xin's hair and looked down at him.
"No...no more."
Meng Xin shrank back in fright. He had never seen such a fierce woman before. One day, he would make her pay a hundredfold.
"If we don't want a bride price, we'll starve!" Meng Shouyi shouted loudly as soon as his son gave in.
Xiao Jingchuan kicked Meng Shouyi, "Old man, have you ever seen a divorce where the woman has to return the betrothal gifts? You have disgraced your Meng family ancestors for eighteen generations."
"My God, Uncle Shouyi is shameless. A perfectly good girl married into their family and was tortured like this by them, and he still has the nerve to ask the Xiao family to return the betrothal gifts."
"There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. I've long disliked the Meng family father and son. They rely on their background in the underworld to bully the weak everywhere. There have been people who want to deal with them for a long time."
