Chapter 657 The 80s (6)
Stone and a group of young people escorted several Japanese men to the police station and explained the situation in detail.
“Those Japanese guys are acting strangely. They’re answering everything we ask without hesitation. We need to question them,” a young police officer said as he came out of the interrogation room.
"Why ask so many questions? We just need to know the result. We've already got all the good news, why are you worrying so much? Do you want to seek justice for the Japanese?" An old police officer said, pulling the young man aside.
No!
"Shut up if you don't have any ideas!" Huo Family Village is protected by the military, so it's best to avoid causing trouble if possible.
After handling all the matters that needed to be dealt with, Wangyou packed her luggage and left for the capital ahead of schedule, watched by the entire village.
Upon arriving in the capital, Wangyou took the address her father had given her and decided to go and meet this family first, hoping to at least dissolve the engagement; otherwise, she would feel extremely uncomfortable.
After taking a taxi all the way to the military compound, and speaking to the guards, I was finally allowed to enter by the belated Shen family.
The woman who came to pick up Wangyou was probably a nanny or something similar. When she saw Wangyou's face, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and when she looked at her clothes, her eyes showed disdain and contempt.
Wangyou naturally sensed the unfriendly gaze, but she didn't care. However, judging from the way the nanny acted, the character of this family was questionable.
"This is Huo Dashan's daughter. She really has the air of a country bumpkin. Don't dirty my land!" a well-dressed woman said disdainfully.
"Mom, this is my brother's childhood sweetheart. Is she even good enough for him?" A girl of about ten years old made no attempt to hide the malice in her eyes.
"Ha! Where's your old man? Is this how the Shen family treats its guests?"
“You call yourself a guest? You’re just a poor relative from the countryside who’s come to freeload. You don’t deserve to be called a guest!” the girl said again.
"I've seen firsthand the Shen family's upbringing. A family like yours won't last long." Since no one else had anything nice to say, Wangyou naturally wouldn't go out of her way to be humiliated.
"you wanna die!"
"stop!"
As they were talking, an elderly man with gray hair, but who looked very energetic, came downstairs.
"Grandpa's had enough of the show, and he's finally willing to come down. Why did my dad have to be so clumsy and save you back then? Why didn't he let you die in the mountains?" The pretty girl's words were incredibly vicious.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen was so angry that he almost fainted. He had intended to give them a hard time, but were all the words spoken by people from the countryside so venomous? All the words he had prepared were now useless.
"Enough with the nonsense. I'm here to break off the engagement. With the kind of upbringing you have, what good children could you possibly raise? Old man, if you don't want to repay a debt of gratitude, then don't seek revenge. I'm not going to accept just any scoundrel. I've brought the token. Old man, where is my family's token?"
"You...you're utterly outrageous!"
"It's a pity you're meeting me for the first time and don't know how outrageous I can be. I've already restrained myself." The girl, exuding an aura of authority, looked coldly at the old man who was on the verge of fainting, her eyes full of disdain.
After waiting for two minutes, no one in the room moved. "Since you won't give it to me, I'll have to let someone else handle this."
Wangyou, with her sharp eyes, spotted the phone as soon as she entered, went straight over and dialed the number, calling the highest-ranking leader in the military region.
"Uncle Chi, I've come to Beijing, but I've been bullied. This shameless family is refusing to give me my things. Please come and help me get justice. The address is in the Shen family compound in your military region."
The person on the other end looked confused, but still nodded and said, "I'll be right there."
Although I don't know why Wangyou is in the Shen family, I should hurry over there to support the little girl and prevent her from being bullied, even though ordinary people can't bully her anyway.
When Chi Song arrived, he saw the Shen family glaring angrily at the little girl, and he immediately became angry.
"Don't be afraid, Wangyou. Uncle Chi is here. No one can bully you." Chi Song was protective of his own without hesitation.
"Uncle Chi, this is the family. My dad saved this old man in the mountains back then. He insisted on arranging a marriage between us when we were children. My dad said that since I was going to school, I should come and take a look."
As a result, one of the nannies discriminated against me along the way. When I came in, the two women kept nagging me, saying that I was a country bumpkin and not good enough for them. The old man was watching the show upstairs. He said that someone like me was not worthy of letting me marry into the family. He said that my father should not have married someone like me back then and should have let him die in the mountains.
I said I wanted to break off the engagement, and my father's family returned their keepsake, but they're holding onto mine—a tiger tally from the Han Dynasty.
Wangyou complained quickly and smoothly, her expression extremely aggrieved.
“Shen Tiezhu, don’t make me look down on you. Wangyou isn’t an unreasonable child. Since that’s the case, the marriage between the two families is off. You should return the tokens immediately,” Chi Song said directly.
"I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back, but this girl has such a sharp tongue, she almost made me angry to death."
"That's what you deserve. Without his father, you would have died long ago." Chi Song was also a sharp-tongued person.
And so, Shen Tiezhu reluctantly returned the tiger tally, looking at the marks on it and rubbing them off with disgust for a long time.
I checked it again, took out another piece from my bag and compared it. Only after confirming that they were a pair could I feel at ease.
"Alright, the wedding is over, I'm leaving. This place is so dirty, I feel suffocated if I stay here even a second longer. And this ignorant lady, the clothes I'm wearing are worth more than ten of your outfits." Wangyou picked up her luggage and walked out.
"Wait, where are you going? I'll take you."
"Let's go look around near the school first, and buy a courtyard house. Uncle Chi, I'd like to buy a siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), do you have any?"
"It was originally a gift for you, but it's not impossible for you to buy it if you want."
"No way, I'll still take the freebies, and I'll still buy more sets, just in case," Wangyou said bluntly.
"Okay, I happen to have some free time now, I'll take you to transfer the property."
"Isn't this too much trouble?"
"What's the trouble? Let's go!"
Having connections in the central government makes things easier. With Chi Song's high military rank, the housing management office staff's efficiency skyrocketed, and the matter was resolved in no time.
In addition, Wangyou looked at a few other nice apartment layouts and bought them all.
"By the way, Uncle Chi, where is my brother now?"
To be honest, I can't tell you about your brother right now.
"Okay then. If you see him someday, remember to tell him that I got into Peking University. My family is very worried about him. Tell him to be careful while he's away."
"Okay, I'll pass it on when I have the chance." Chi Song nodded with a smile, and then took Wangyou to have a meal.
"Wangyou, school hasn't started yet, and your house still needs renovation. Stay at my place for the next few days, and I'll bring you to school to register when it starts."
"Won't this disturb your family?"
"No, it's much cleaner than staying in a guesthouse."
"Okay, I'll go to your house with you. Sorry to bother you." The last sentence touched Wangyou's heart; the blankets and such at the guesthouse were indeed not clean.
