The two daughters-in-law who followed Huang Yufeng are embarrassed by their mother-in-law’s disgrace, but if their sister-in-law really gets sentenced, then these brothers and sisters-in-law won’t be able to hold their heads high, and it will affect the family’s children. So they definitely need to unite with their mother-in-law now.
Zhang Yin Hua, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu Family, stepped forward: "Miss Xinyan, we just learned about what happened to you, but those things really have nothing to do with us or our children. Please, have mercy on those kids. If my sister-in-law is sentenced, how will the kids face the world in the future?"
These words left Xinyan speechless: "What does it matter to me how the Qiu Family’s kids face the world in the future? Who will right the wrongs I suffered over those years? You Qiu Family are truly entertaining, trying to make fools of both the old and the young.
Back then, your father-in-law took advantage of my grandfather’s kindness, and used shady tricks to make my grandfather raise a daughter born out of wedlock. Good intentions only led to trouble, raising a thankless wolf.
Then that thankless wolf, Qiu Chunli, along with those shameless parents-in-law of yours, separated my father and me for so many years. It’s the classic farmer and the snake tale. You can’t even behave humbly, and Qiu Qingmei tried to harm me with such despicable tactics. How dare you come begging to me?
Oh, I understand, you think I’m just a young girl, unaware of the world, easy to deceive?
Wrong! I wish misfortune on your whole Qiu Family, a bunch of black-hearted and rotten things. Get lost immediately."
The Qiu Family’s third son, Qiu Hongyuan, was infuriated by Xinyan’s scolding, clenching his fists tightly and saying through gritted teeth: "Even if my family is in the wrong, aren’t you fine now? Why do you insist on making trouble for us?"
Xinyan was simply speechless at this nonsense, pure foolishness: "Jinxuan, let’s go."
The third son of the Qiu Family, Qiu Hongyuan, seeing Xinyan about to leave, stepped forward to grab her, but was kicked away by He Jinxuan: "What, you think I’m dead? Truly a family of shameless creatures."
Just then, patrolling security personnel heard the commotion: "What’s happening here?"
He Jinxuan did not give the Qiu Family a chance to speak: "Send these people to the police station, saying the Qiu Family intercepted the victim on the way, attempted to threaten and kidnap the victim, trying to absolve their daughter and sister from guilt. They must be severely punished."
The Qiu Family panicked and started to argue, but the security personnel wouldn’t listen and directly took them to the police station.
The commotion attracted many onlookers, revealing the situation with Qiu Qingmei.
Previously, Principal Feng specifically negotiated with the police station because a provincial science champion had emerged, and many sister units had recently come to exchange ideas, not wanting to affect the school’s reputation. Only a few plant leaders knew about Qiu Qingmei’s situation.
Now, things took a turn, as nosy people went to the Qiu Family to inquire. The already-stroke-affected Qiu Jouxuan heard about the evening’s events and was immediately sent to the hospital again.
For the Qiu Family, it was utter chaos.
He Jinxuan stayed at the courtyard until late, ready to leave only out of fear of further trouble from the Qiu Family.
Xinyan packed all her belongings, preparing to let He Jinxuan take the items she couldn’t carry to his place first. After breakfast early tomorrow, she would return the house and could leave.
He Jinxuan was worried and wanted to stay a bit longer, but Xinyan put the items in the courtyard: "Enough, you know my skills. Even if someone from the Qiu Family comes to make trouble, I’m not afraid.
Moreover, they don’t have the time to bother me now."
Seeing Xinyan’s calm demeanor, without fear, He Jinxuan, realizing they needed to travel early tomorrow, didn’t insist: "Alright, if anything happens, shout loudly, security will hear."
Xinyan smiled and saw him off at the gate: "Don’t worry, see you tomorrow."
He Jinxuan was still uneasy, took the items back, and went to the security office, specifically instructing the night shift personnel.
If not for Zhang Chengxiang repeatedly assuring him to rest easy, saying during their patrol they would pay extra attention here, he would have switched shifts to guard personally, mainly fearing the Qiu Family acting desperately, pulling a sneaky trick.
