He Ximei and Su Wu squeezed into the crowd, just watching Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng smiled at them as if to say, "I’m fine."
The Third Uncle didn’t quite believe it and turned to Lao Guaizi, "Guaizi, is what Xiaofeng and Donghua said really true?"
How could this be possible? It was too unbelievable.
Guaizi didn’t speak, but said gravely, "Whether Xiaofeng is my biological daughter or not, it’s undeniable that she has grown up with me. Since she has become my daughter, she will always be my daughter, the biological daughter of Su Guisheng."
Whether she was his own or not, as long as she was by his side, that was good enough; more than a decade had passed, and the familial love had grown deeper than blood, whether she was biologically related or not was no longer the most important thing.
Su Lao Guaizi’s words were essentially an admission that Xiaofeng was not his biological daughter.
"This Luo Yuzhu, what is she trying to do?" As soon as the Third Uncle heard this, he got upset, "If she’s not biologically yours, why didn’t you say so earlier? What’s the point of saying it now, even if Guaizi had another child now, it would be too late."
For a moment, everyone looked at Guaizi with sympathy in their eyes.
A man nearly fifty years old, his only daughter not his biological one, and his stepson a fool, it was debatable whether he could continue to lead the household in the future. It seemed as though everyone could foresee Su Lao Guaizi’s lonely old age.
"Even if she is biological, those who are disloyal and unfilial, those who refuse to acknowledge their own parents are not few. Although I am not my dad’s biological daughter, as long as my dad doesn’t reject me, I will always be my dad’s daughter and help him lead a good life. His days won’t be worse than anyone else’s."
Xiaofeng shifted the topic, "As long as my dad doesn’t disdain me, even uncles and aunties have no right to say whether I belong to the Su Family or not. If my dad says I do, then I do, and if he says I don’t, then I don’t. As for what other people say, I can’t hear a thing. Of course, as for what Su Dada left for me, I’m sorry, but since Su Dada gave it to me, it’s mine. Some people might want to take it from me, but it’s still mine."
To think that they could scare her by bringing up her origins, so she would keep the peace and share her belongings.
Of course, that wouldn’t happen.
Ma Donghua, hearing Xiaofeng’s words, was eager to retort, wasn’t it outrageous that she, not being the eldest brother’s daughter, still had reasons for her behavior? A wild girl is just a wild girl; how could she possibly belong to the old Su Family.
"Big brother, say something, if you really treat this girl as your own daughter. Look at her now—pregnant before marriage, corrupting morals. I say, how could our Su Family daughters ever do such a thing?" Su Guisheng looked at his elder brother, just waiting for him to kick Xiaofeng out of the house, then naturally, Xiaofeng wouldn’t belong to the Su Family.
Not belonging to the Su Family meant that things belonging to the Su Family, like what Su Dada left for her or her factory, should be returned.
Xiaofeng looked at Su Guisheng and his wife’s current state and just chuckled lightly, "Uncle, you still have the mood to care about my affairs. It seems the money stolen last night wasn’t much. The police team is still here, why don’t you have a nice chat with them about how you partnered with those swindlers and how you went about scamming people’s money. Compared to my origins, I think they might be more interested in these things."
This Captain Hong was interesting too, staying silent all this time, seemingly determined to watch the drama unfold.
Not to mention this matter was okay, but once mentioned, Su Guisheng and his spouse immediately shut up, not daring to make another sound.
Then Captain Hong finally stood out, glanced at the villagers who came to watch the show, "We are here today to investigate a residential robbery."
Captain Hong took out several work IDs, "Let me show you; recently, a group of people dressed decently, using official jargon, and claiming they are on rural duty, have committed numerous home robberies."
As he spoke, Captain Hong distributed the work IDs for everyone to see, "So, if you see such people, be sure to verify their identity thoroughly, don’t be fooled."
Su Wu glanced, jokingly said, "Captain, such distinguished identities, if they really come to the countryside, we can’t but offer them hospitality. Moreover, if their identity is real, wouldn’t we end up offending them?"
This matter is no joke—things could escalate if their identities turned out to be real.
Captain Hong chuckled, "Have you ever seen any officials visiting the countryside without local officials accompanying them? If you really encounter such people, just call the local officials, and you won’t be wrong."
Everyone thought about it, and it made sense; if someone from above really visited the countryside, the village would definitely come forward to accompany them. It was impossible for them to come directly.
"According to last night’s prisoner’s confession, they robbed Su Guisheng’s home, and he mentioned Su Guisheng planned to partner with them to scam Xiaofeng of her antiques. However, the antiques in Xiaofeng’s possession turned out to be worthless, and they ended up targeting Su Guisheng’s home after no harvest."
Captain Hong’s tone shifted as he asked Su Guisheng and his wife, "Su Guisheng, is this true?"
As soon as Guisheng heard them trying to implicate him, he naturally couldn’t admit, "Captain, no, it’s all them slandering me. I’m such an honest person; how could I possibly collaborate with them? They are just trying to find a scapegoat to take the blame for them, it’s completely unfounded."
"Which thing is unfounded?" Captain Hong’s voice was loud, "Is the residential robbery unfounded, or the partnership unfounded?"
"Both are unfounded," Su Guisheng quickly answered; he hadn’t really heard what Captain Hong asked, but it definitely wasn’t him, absolutely not.
"They didn’t rob your home?" Captain Hong asked again.
Su Guisheng still shook his head, "No, absolutely not."
