Chapter 1080: Intensification
Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Intensification
The Sun Family was dumbfounded. That wasn’t a small amount. Especially considering the wages from the past few years.
After Yang Xiubo returned, he cursed and rode his bike back to the township.
The township was Yang Hongwen’s domain, and he was quite reputable there.
Sun Ercheng sucked his teeth, "Hongwen, isn’t living like this normal for a family?" He had never heard of someone asking to take money back.
"Haha, of course, it can be like this for a family, but this is no longer one family. My daughter doesn’t want it anymore.
No more nonsense. Xue has been married here for over a decade. I’m not asking for much, just give me eight hundred yuan. In fact, in these past few years, that’s not even close to the total amount owed."
The villagers who were watching the commotion were extremely shocked. Eight hundred yuan? How could the Sun Family possibly have that?
Sun Ercheng tapped Sun Chengmin with his cane.
"Hurry and prepare the money. Da Qiang, go home and get paper and pen."
That was how it was decided.
Sun Chengmin didn’t feel the amount was too much. Now he utterly despised the people of this family. So what if the money would be for the kids later? It was also the wages his wife had earned over the years.
The Sun Family couple was struggling; how could they have that much money?
"We don’t have money?" They finally spoke when it involved money.
Yang Hongwen didn’t respond at all; he didn’t even bother to interact with them. He couldn’t comprehend how Minggang and his wife agreed with the Sun Family – they were just a bunch of good-for-nothing bullies at home.
The other three brothers of the Sun Family also gathered around. Since they hadn’t divided the family wealth yet, they didn’t know if there was enough money at home. Even if there was, if it were given away, it would mean they’d get less when the family divided, right? Of course, no one wanted that.
The couple of the second brother were the most cunning; now it was about their interests.
"But isn’t Jian Jun and Cai Xia still children of the Sun Family?" The second brother’s wife muttered.
Now the Sun Family understood. The Yang Family had insisted on taking the two kids.
"Yes, fine, we’ll give the money, but the two kids are ours, the Sun Family’s."
Yang Hongwen laughed, "I finally understand the saying, ’the biting dog doesn’t bark.’ Fine, the kids are yours, but we’ll demand four hundred more, even though the kids have Sun Family blood in them. But, since they were born to my daughter, it should be twelve hundred total.
Isn’t this human trafficking? Someone will come soon and need to clarify this."
The Sun Family was dumbfounded again. Why weren’t they taking the kids? And they were demanding more money?
Sun Chengmin suddenly stood up, "I agree that the two kids should be with Xue.
The kids would only suffer with us. With Xue, the Yang Family will certainly look after the kids, and with that Su Yuanyuan, the kids’ future is guaranteed."
"Big Brother, it’s easy for you to say, but that’s eight hundred yuan."
"Yeah, hasn’t Xue earned this money over the years? When she handed over her wages, why didn’t you think it was too much then?"
The Sun Family was now in chaos, and Yang Hongwen had no objections. He just watched them argue.
About fifteen minutes later, the sound of a car could be heard from outside.
Soon, Qi Yan, Qi Hong, and Qi Wen arrived. The appearance of the three of them made everyone in the Sun Family Village admire them.
Qi Wen walked over to Tan Shaoting, "Dad, Mom is very angry."
"Did you try to persuade your mom?"
"I did. She said leaving such shameless people is for the best."
"Alright, I understand."
Qi Wen curiously looked at the Sun Family members, who were still arguing.
Qi Hong didn’t like this, "Granduncle, when will this be resolved? Why waste time here?
Let’s go home and let them resolve it in our village."
Yang Hongwen chuckled and patted Qi Hong’s shoulder, "You all go back first; I fear they won’t come."
"Scare them. If they don’t, they’ll have to face the consequences."
Finished speaking, he went out and brought back two chairs, giving one to Yang Hongwen and the other to Tan Shaoting.
"My Qi Hong is just that considerate."
"Right? If it wasn’t for fearing that you’d be mistreated, all four of us would have gone back."
"Don’t worry; Granduncle won’t be wronged."
"Forget it. Let’s wait. Otherwise, we’d be worrying about you at home."
Yang Hongwen sighed internally; these were truly other people’s children.
The Sun Family was still quarreling when there was more noise from outside.
Yang Xiubo returned with five people in uniform.
Now even the leaders had come over. What was the deal? Was the person who left earlier really the relative of the Yang Family’s big leader?
Once inside, the five of them ran to Tan Shaoting’s side and saluted respectfully, "Leader, sorry for the inconvenience."
Tan Shaoting also stood up and returned the salute, "No worries, it’s not a big deal. Resolve it as soon as possible."
"Understood."
Everyone in Sun Family Village was stunned. What was going on? Could the person who just left really be a family member of the big leader of the Yang Family?
No one dared to speak anymore; they all stepped back a few paces.
Sun Ercheng was scared, wondering why he had come in and talked about fighting. What if it had actually escalated? He was so frightened that he trembled, not daring to imagine further.
Yang Hongwen also stood up. "Leader, I am representing the girl’s side."
"Alright, both sides come forward, you go and get the table."
Preparations began. The Sun Family members approached cautiously. Was it true that the Yang Family’s capable relatives had returned? Everyone was grudgingly thinking that Yang Xue dared to make such a fuss because she had backing.
Sun Chengmin stood with his head drooping to one side. Once the table was in place, the questioning began.
One person was responsible for recording, and another for asking questions.
Yang Hongwen, as the girl’s guardian, also had to give a statement.
The Sun Family didn’t dare to talk nonsense now and answered whatever questions were asked.
Technically, in this situation, Yang Xue and Hu Chunhua should have given statements too, but no one mentioned it.
No one was foolish; with the leader present, did they think their lives were too easy?
After half an hour, the matter was clear.
"This is your private matter. You can still resolve this privately."
Yang Hongwen nodded, "I can go along with anything. My daughter will not live in such a family anymore. The two kids are ours because these people are beasts; they even hit the kids.
Also, the money my daughter earned over these years, give it to us, eight hundred will do. If you want the kids, then it’s twelve hundred."
The Sun Family members all shook their heads. Old Mrs. Sun said boldly, "We don’t have that kind of money, and isn’t it common for families not to be divided? The money belongs to the family."
Yang Hongwen shook his head, "It doesn’t work for my daughter. After all, she won’t be part of the family in the future. Eight hundred, not a penny less. If you don’t have it now, then we’ll deduct it annually from the team. My daughter has been working like a beast of burden in this family all these years. She’s not for you to bully."
Now, the five people didn’t interfere. This was a private settlement and their involvement wasn’t needed.
