Chapter 192: Troublemaker Arrested
Yun Jiao brought them over to join the fun, and as they got closer, they saw, wow!
The Zhou family brought quite a few people.
“Pay up! If you don’t return the betrothal gift money today, we’ll smash your stuff!”
Cai Jinhua blocked the doorway: “How dare you! I, Cai Jinhua, am not to be trifled with. Do you intend to hit me? I’m telling you, if you dare to hit me, I’ll immediately go to the police station and report you!”
“Shameless bitch, the person is gone and you still want to pocket our family’s betrothal gift money? You really think we’re easy to bully? It’s only natural to pay back debts, and even if you report us to the police station, we’ll still be in the right.”
With that, the auntie from the Zhou family lunged forward and grabbed Cai Jinhua’s hair.
The two women started fighting at the doorway.
Cai Jinhua wailed: “There’s no justice! They’ve come all the way to our village to bully us. You forced my daughter to her death, how can you still have the nerve to take back that two hundred yuan? That was the money for my daughter’s life!”
“Pah! What does your daughter’s death have to do with us? If anyone was forced, it was your heartless family! Old hag, if you don’t return the money today, we’ll come to your house every day to cause trouble! I…”
Wang Yi and Sun Yaoqin’s eyes widened as they watched the scene unfold.
They’re actually fighting, and… and swearing so dirtily.
“What… what is going on here? Aren’t they going to stop them even though they’re fighting?”
Many people were watching the excitement, but very few went up to break up the fight.
It wasn’t until the Village Chief arrived and called for help that the two fighting women were separated.
The Village Chief really felt like driving Cai Jinhua’s family out of the village; they were never at peace, and they were ruining their village’s reputation!
They were still arguing over there, and the Village Chief tried hard to mediate, but it was useless.
No matter what he said, Cai Jinhua’s family refused to hand over the money.
Meanwhile, Yun Jiao explained the general situation to the two of them.
There was nothing they could do, as Yun Chennan had just returned and didn’t know about this matter. Hearing Yun Jiao’s words, he was also shocked.
“What, ghost marriage?!”
Wang Yi’s eyes widened.
Although he had never seen such a thing with his own eyes, the thought of a girl marrying a dead person was terrifying!
“How could they do this? This is too immoral.”
Sun Yaoqin was still very young and couldn’t quite grasp what was happening.
Wang Yi’s eyes darted around: “You guys watch here, I’m going to call my dad.”
With that, Wang Yi took off and ran back.
He needed to ask if this was illegal.
By the time Wang Jianlin and the others arrived, the situation had escalated to Cai Jinhua dragging out her third daughter, Yun Pandi.
Yun Pandi, only 15 years old, was sobbing uncontrollably, making her look pitiful.
“There’s no money. That dead girl Lai Di is gone, but I have other daughters. Anyway, she’s marrying your dead son. If you don’t dislike my third daughter, you can take her back.”
The people from the Zhou family sized up the crying Yun Pandi.
They thought it wouldn’t be impossible.
The Village Chief shouted sternly: “What are you doing? This is illegal, do you know that? Are you even human, this is your daughter!”
Cai Jinhua looked as if a dead pig feared no boiling water: “Village Chief, if you pity my Pandi, then help me return that two hundred yuan.”
“You, you guys…”
The Village Chief’s face turned ashen, and his breathing became rapid, clearly showing how angry he was.
After some discussion, the Zhou family also agreed.
Although she was a bit young, she was for their third son, and it was enough for a ghost marriage.
Just as the Zhou family was about to drag Yun Pandi away, Wang Jianlin walked over with a dark expression.
“Wait.”
The Zhou family looked at Wang Jianlin and the others with impatience.
“Who are you? This is a matter between our two families, we advise you not to interfere.”
The Village Chief recognized Wang Jianlin immediately, as he had been there before. Thinking of his status, and this whole mess, he felt his vision go dark again and again.
It’s over, their village’s image is completely ruined!
Wang Jianlin’s secretary stepped forward: “Ghost marriage and arranged marriage are both illegal. Do you know this?”
The Zhou family was already very agitated and impatient. Relying on their numbers, they directly shouted that they were indeed having a ghost marriage, and what could be done about it!
Wang Jianlin was so amused he laughed.
He held back the secretary: “Don’t be rash yet.”
Then he gave him a look.
The secretary nodded, left the crowd, and drove back to Yun Jiao’s house towards the police station.
Wang Jianlin asked the Village Chief to come over and said in a low voice: “Village Chief, please find a way to stall them for a while.”
The Zhou family had brought quite a few people. He had glanced at them just now, and those people were carrying weapons.
Although they were all sticks and hoes and such.
But if a conflict broke out now, someone would get hurt.
Wang Jianlin did not want the villagers of Bailong Village to clash with the Zhou family. He decided to wait and observe, and sent his secretary to the police station to call for help.
The Village Chief nodded, then, along with a few sturdy villagers, began to deal with the Zhou family.
He held onto Pandi, not allowing the Zhou family to take her away, and cursed at both sides.
“Pandi is still so young, how could you lay hands on her? Heartless bastards, a bunch of animals…”
With one hand holding Pandi, he pointed at the adults of Cai Jinhua’s family and cursed.
Yun Da Na, enraged by the scolding, tried to make a move but was stopped by those burly men and was hit a few times.
Yun Da Na’s parents saw their son being beaten and started causing a commotion as well.
The scene descended into chaos.
From the Zhou family’s side: “You guys cause your trouble, just let us take the person.”
Village Chief: “Lai Di was already pushed to her death by you, are you trying to push Pandi to her death now?”
Zhou family: “That has nothing to do with us. Anyway, today either you let us take the person, or you pay us back the money.”
Cai Jinhua adamantly refused to pay, and even pushed the crying Pandi towards them.
The Village Chief rallied people to snatch Pandi back.
Just as the conflict between the two sides escalated and was about to erupt into a fight, Wang Jianlin’s secretary arrived with police officers from the police station.
“What are you doing? What are all of you doing!”
Seeing the police arrive, the Zhou family, who had been arrogant just moments before, immediately became like quails. Cai Jinhua and the others even tried to hug their son and hide inside.
“Stop right there.”
“You are the ones having a ghost marriage?”
An elder police officer looked at the Zhou family: “You have quite a lot of guts. Do you know this is illegal?”
Promoting feudal superstitions would get you arrested before, and it hasn’t been that long since someone started having ghost marriages.
“No, no.”
The Zhou family chuckled: “It’s not a ghost marriage, we’re finding a wife for our youngest son.”
With that, they pushed their youngest son forward.
“There’s no ghost marriage.”
Wang Jianlin walked over: “Arrest all of these people and take them back for interrogation.”
“Yes, County Magistrate.”
Hearing the police call Wang Jianlin “County Magistrate,” the group was stunned.
Some people also remembered what they had said earlier, and for a moment, their vision went black.
It’s over!
“And them. Arranged marriages are also illegal now. Even if you are their parents, it’s not allowed.”
Cai Jinhua and Yun Da Na quickly shook their heads: “No, no, we’re not getting married. We’re not having a ghost marriage, nor an arranged marriage.”
But no matter what they said, they would have to go to the police station for a visit.
