Seeing the furious faces of the Sun family members, Sun Sijia frowned: "Big brother, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"How dare you ask!" Brother Sun's face darkened. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lost our jobs."
"What?" Mrs. Sun exclaimed in surprise, "Your job was perfectly fine, how could you lose it?"
Brother Sun said irritably, "What else could it be? It must be my sister's in-laws' doing. They have power and influence, and it's not like they can just say a word to deal with us commoners!"
"Yes, I've lost my job too. My boss told me not to come to work tomorrow!"
"Me too, they also told me not to go there anymore."
"I've lost my temporary job too."
"I also!"
Everyone was talking at once. Every single one of them, who used to work in factories, offices, or neighborhoods, had gathered at the Sun family's house to watch Sun Sijia, who had just returned from causing trouble.
Glancing at the baby in Sun's mother's arms, Aunt Sun said, "Why are you still keeping this child? He's not a member of the He family. Give him to whoever he belongs to."
Aunt Sun couldn't help but curse: "Sun Sijia, you jinx! If you hadn't been so indecent and gotten pregnant with someone else's child, the He family wouldn't have done what you did, and our entire Sun family wouldn't have been expelled. You're a jinx, it's all your fault."
“Go to the He family right now, apologize, and reinstate our jobs. Otherwise, we’ll depend on you for everything.”
“That’s right, that’s right, we also have to make a living. You made a mistake, how can the whole family take the blame?” Aunt Sun was also unconvinced. She wasn’t her daughter, so how could the division of the family property affect their family?
Sun Sijia had always thought she could control the He family, but now that the He family had only made a slight move, her family was in a mess. Everyone was targeting her, and Sun Sijia was almost driven crazy.
As for the child, Sun's mother knew that holding the child was useless and a waste of time, so she simply left the child at the door of the Zhu family's house in the neighboring courtyard and the Sun family didn't care about him anymore.
Sun Sijia can't even rest during her postpartum period. If she doesn't resolve her family's employment issues, she's a sinner to the Sun family. With over twenty people eating and drinking at her house, her parents are on the verge of collapse.
The thought of not being able to get the hardware back and having to return the betrothal gifts made Sun Sijia extremely unwilling.
She even went to the police station, deciding to start with He Ziqian.
After much pleading, she was finally allowed to meet with He Ziqian. Upon seeing her, He Ziqian's eyes darkened and his face contorted with rage: "You bitch, how dare you come here? Are you smug to see me arrested?"
“Brother Ziqian, I know I was wrong. I was forced. I was scared and didn’t dare to tell anyone, so I said I slept with you when you were drunk. I love you so much. I know I’m not good enough for you, so I had to resort to this method.”
He Ziqian was disgusted: "You're repulsive. I won't believe a single word you say. You've ruined me, and I won't let you get away with this. You just wait."
Sun Sijia wanted to say something, but He Ziqian refused to meet her and told the police to send her away. He was so angry that he was in a fit of rage at the police station: "I want to get out, I want to get out, I want to see my parents, please call my parents."
Soon, Brother He and his wife came to see He Ziqian. He spoke with great emotion, and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong. I was deceived by that woman. It's all my fault for being stupid. I don't want to go to a labor camp or jail. I will definitely repent after I get out. Please save me!"
Brother He and Sister-in-law He couldn't bear their own son's pleas. Sister-in-law He cried and told people to get up: "Don't worry, your parents won't let you go to jail. The Zhu family already knows the consequences. We made the Zhu family lose their jobs and even set a trap for Zhu's father. They have no choice but to settle out of court."
He Ziqian felt relieved: "It's all my fault for being unfilial."
Sister-in-law He patted his head: "It's not your fault, it's just that Sun Sijia is too cunning. Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be out in a couple of days."
He Ziqian, with his stubble, nodded and clenched his fist secretly.
The Zhu family was indeed at their breaking point. Zhu's father was caught red-handed having an affair, and the rest of the Zhu family lost their jobs and livelihoods. They all started putting pressure on Zhu's parents and Zhu Gang, who was lying in the hospital bed.
They originally wanted to extort 10,000 yuan and give the Zhu family a courtyard house to live in, hoping to use this as an excuse to move out of the crowded tenement. They threatened that the Zhu family, who had been given jobs, would no longer be so arrogant.
One by one, they tucked their tails between their legs and approached Brother He, saying, "As long as you give us five hundred yuan to settle our medical bills and get us back to work, we won't cause any more trouble, no matter what."
"If you stop making trouble, what about the losses suffered by the He family?" Sister-in-law He seized the initiative and became aggressive: "That child is a descendant of your Zhu family. He's been eating in our house for months. Shouldn't we pay for his living expenses?"
The Zhu family was in the wrong, and the child was a hot potato. The Sun family was shameless, abandoning the child and ignoring them. They could only buy some formula to feed the child, and now they get a headache just hearing the child cry.
"That's the Sun family's business, not our Zhu family's."
Sister-in-law He never expected that each family would be more shameless than the last: "Sun Sijia said that your son raped her. If she reports it to the police, your son will probably be sent to a labor camp, and he'll be a rapist!"
Zhu Jia's expression changed drastically: "You... what do you want?"
"A letter of understanding, and five hundred yuan in compensation to the He family," Brother He stated.
The Zhu family members stared wide-eyed: "How dare you say that? We've all been stabbed!"
Brother He and Sister-in-law He didn't care: "We'll only give you one day to consider it."
They left with their heads held high, but the Zhu family was furious. Everyone cursed and swore, no one wanted to suffer a loss, especially considering that none of them had jobs and were unable to support their families.
