Shen Jianjun glanced at the group of police officers surrounding Shen Zhizhu and was stunned for a moment.

From this picture, it looks like they are in the same group.

"Otherwise, I will call the police immediately and have them arrest you for extortion!"

Widow Wang cried out.

"You bastard, you called the police. I'm lucky I didn't. You two told me that Shen Aiqiu was willing to marry me. Now she doesn't agree and has run away. I'm left without a wife, and you still don't pay me back. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"

Shen Zhizhu stood by as a cheering spectator, putting one hand to his mouth.

"They probably did it on purpose. They deliberately concealed Shen Aiqiu's intention and also lied to you that the other party agreed. Otherwise, why would they make such a strange agreement with you?"

"You give the money, they give the money, and from now on they won't ask how you and your wife are doing in the future, nor will they interfere in your lives. Tsk tsk tsk, they've completely extricated themselves."

Widow Wang suddenly realized what was going on and pointed at Shen Jianjun and Li Chunlan.

"Well, you guys, you set a trap for me to fall into so early. I was wondering why you were willing to marry me such a beautiful girl. I thought you wanted to exchange some gifts for me, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy!"

Li Chunlan picked up the broom on the ground and wanted to hit Shen Zhizhu, but Xu Haonan easily took the broom in his hand.

She tried hard to snatch the broom back, but she was not as strong as Xu Haonan, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all.

"Let go, you little bastard."

"Who do you think you are? You dare to order me around?"

Xu Haonan said no, but his hands suddenly loosened. Li Chunlan thought Xu Haonan was still trying to use more force, so she put in a little more strength to fight with him.

All of a sudden, he took several steps back and fell to the ground.

"Ouch, my waist."

"Well, you deserve it. The police are still here, and you dare to hit them so blatantly."

Shen Zhizhu made a face at Li Chunlan lying on the ground, which made Li Chunlan very angry.

"You keep saying that you have obtained Shen Aiqiu's consent, but if she really agreed, would she still run away after waking up?"

Because of the police officers, Li Chunlan did not act too recklessly and stood up from the ground by herself.

Shen Jianjun put his hands behind his back.

"You just said that Xiaoqiu is the most filial to us. She knows that our family is in financial difficulty and that her brother will need money after he comes out. We discussed it with her and she agreed."

Anyway, Shen Ai Qiu has run away now, so they can just say whatever they want. Even if Shen Ai Qiu was here, she would definitely not let them lose face.

"I didn't, I didn't know anything about it."

A scream broke out from the crowd, and Shen Zhizhu recognized it as Shen Aiqiu's.

Not only did she recognize it, but everyone around her recognized that it was Shen Ai Qiu's voice. After all, they had all lived in the village for so long and were familiar with each other.

The crowd made way, revealing Shen Ai Qiu and Officer Pei and their group.

Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun were both dumbfounded. Didn't they say Shen Aiqiu ran away on her own? Why was she here?

"Xiao, Xiao Qiu? So you didn't run away. Why are you staying with Officer Pei and the others?"

When Li Chunlan saw Officer Pei, she felt guilty for some reason.

Shen Jianjun rebuked loudly. He didn't like Officer Pei. In his opinion, Officer Pei was on Shen Zhizhu's side. Every time he appeared, it meant they were in trouble.

Shen Ai Qiu and Officer Pei came together, with Shen Zhi Zhu and Wang the Widow in front of them. He also had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Why are you yelling so much? Come over here."

Now I don’t know whether Shen Ai Qiu just arrived or has been here for a while, and how much he heard from their conversation.

Shen Ai Qiu had already heard everything they had just said. Her hopes were completely shattered. She looked at Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun with disappointment.

"Dad, you are still mean to me in this situation. Mom, did you really find the widower Wang yourself and sell your daughter to him at a fixed price like a commodity?"

The clothes that Shen Ai Qiu was wearing belonged to Shen Zhizhu. They recognized her at a glance. Through the coat, they saw her messy hair and sloppy makeup, and guessed what kind of treatment Shen Ai Qiu had suffered.

Shen Jianjun was indifferent to all this.

"Now that you're married, you've become just like that ungrateful bastard. You dare to quarrel with your parents and even question and talk back to them?"

Li Chunlan is a woman, and her mind is more delicate than men. When she saw these characteristics of Shen Aiqiu, she immediately understood.

She was overjoyed and ignored Shen Ai Qiu's questioning.

"Widow Wang, this is immoral. You slept with my daughter's innocence. There is no way I can return the betrothal gift to you. Didn't you say Xiaoqiu was lost? Isn't she right here? Take her back and live your life there."

With so many police officers present, Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun did not scold or beat Shen Aiqiu as they did at home.

I just want to resolve the matter quickly, let Wang the widower take Shen Ai Qiu back, let the matter be settled, and move on from it.

"Mom! How could you be so cruel? You sent me to a man I have never met without even asking for my opinion. I don't want to marry him. I also want to take the exam and go to a big city."

Li Chunlan glared at her, thinking that Shen Aiqiu was trying to embarrass her.

"Shut up, you've given your body to someone else, what do you want to do if you don't marry him? You're making a fuss, you have a pig brain and you still want to go to college, go roast sweet potatoes instead."

"Are you thinking of going to college so you can stay away from us? When your brother comes out, gets married, and asks for money, you can stay away and not care about him. I'm telling you, that's impossible. Your father and I have loved you since you were a child. Now that you've grown up, it's time for you to contribute to the family."

Shen Ai Qiu seemed to have heard something horrible. He took two steps back, his body swaying, and it was obvious that he was deeply hurt.

The people in the village are all simple and kind-hearted. After hearing this, some of them couldn't stand it anymore.

"Li Chunlan, what are you talking about? Isn't it a good thing for your children to have a bright future? Your son failed to live up to expectations and got in, so you can count on your daughter in the future. Your daughter is an ambitious person and is filial to both of you. If she has a bright future, how could she ignore you? You really don't know what's going on."

"Even if you don't want Shen Ai Qiu to be too far away from you, at least find a suitable match for the child. What's the point of finding an old man? And you hide it from Shen Ai Qiu. Isn't this treating him like a human being?"

Li Chunlan didn't care about that. She made a gesture of driving away with her hands.

"Go away, this is my family's business. You don't have to go to work in the factory. You are idle every day. Why come to see the excitement?"
