Chapter 6 thanks Hu Shiyao, the top contributor, for the 'reward'!

The Eldest Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Youngest Uncle cornered Ling Guofu against the wall, shouting right in his face.

It was impossible to tell what the four of them were saying.

The Eldest Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Youngest Uncle were flushed with excitement, while Ling Guofu hung his head like he was standing in punishment, not saying a word.

Someone who didn't know the situation would think the three of them were ganging up to bully one person.

There was also a group of people Ling Yue didn't recognize.

Kicking open Ling Hui's bedroom door.

They all surged in and dragged Ling Hui out.

"Brothers, brothers, I was wrong. I truly love Yaoyao. Don't listen to my sister's nonsense; she's sick and her mind isn't clear." Ling Hui pressed his hands together, begging for mercy in a sleazy way.

Weak and small, he looked like a month-old chick in front of a group of burly men.

A young man with well-developed biceps grabbed Ling Hui by the collar: "Coward!"

He had a face that looked upright and righteous. When he got angry, he carried an inexplicable air of authority. Especially his raised fist of justice, which turned Ling Hui's face pale with fear, terrified that the fist would land on his face and destroy the surface-level handsomeness he worked so hard to maintain.

Seeing Ling Hui's spineless behavior, the young man looked at him with great disdain. "My sister likes you, that's the only reason I've tolerated you!

Damn it, and you dared to scheme against my sister!

I'm warning you, after you break up today, you are not allowed to harass my sister again. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you, do you hear me!"

"I, I really do love Yaoyao." Ling Hui's momentum weakened, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

"Hmm? Look into my eyes and say that again!"

The young man lifted Ling Hui straight up!

Ling Hui dangled helplessly in mid-air like a sandbag.

"I won't dare to anymore, I won't dare to!"

Too fierce. If he ever argued with Hu Shiyao in the future, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

If each of his brothers-in-law punched him once, wouldn't he be crippled?

Whoever wants to date can go ahead, he wouldn't even dare to take Hu Shiyao even if she paid him to be with her!

Thud—the young man released Ling Hui.

He grabbed the bag from someone next to him and threw it at Ling Hui. "This is the 108,000 bride price. Returning it to you. After today, our two families will have absolutely nothing to do with each other."

While this was happening, Ling Guofu suddenly looked up. "What?"

He looked exactly like a wind-up frog.

Pushing through the encirclement of his brothers, he took a few long strides and rushed in front of the young man. "We gave 188,000, why are you only returning 108,000? The remaining 80,000 must also be returned!"

Hu Shiyao's voice rang out: "You still have the nerve to ask for it? That was your daughter's life-saving money."

"Bullshit! Since she gave it to us, it's our money! If you don't return it, I'm calling the police!" Ling Guofu retorted loudly.

It truly verified the saying: you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Ling's father, who looked honest and kind on the surface, was actually falsely high-minded and truly shameless!

Hu Shiyao was incredibly disgusted. "Hilarious. That money was withdrawn from Ling Yue's account, so what's wrong with me returning it to her? Even if you call the police, it's useless. I'm returning the money to its rightful owner!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two middle-aged men in uniforms rushed in.

"What are you doing? What is going on!"

The police had arrived. It was probably the neighbors who called the police, fearing someone might get killed.

The police scanned the room, their gaze finally landing on the four sisters-in-law who were entangled with each other. "What are you just standing there for? Hurry up and separate them. If someone gets seriously hurt, who's going to be responsible?!"

The four sisters-in-law were blinded by rage; no one was willing to let go first.

The Ling family men went to pull them apart, but they were either kicked or stomped on.

"Whoever doesn't let go now is coming with me to the police station. You'll get a record on your file and carry a criminal record for the rest of your life!"

This sentence was quite intimidating.

The Aunt didn't want to cause trouble for her son, so she let go first.

Fourth Aunt and Youngest Aunt had construction projects at home and didn't want to go to the police station, so they subsequently let go.

Guan Xuemei had already gone crazy. Without restraint, she curled her fingers and clawed at the faces of the others.

She used so much force that the Aunt let out a miserable scream, and several bloody scratches appeared on her face.

Guan Xuemei wanted to keep going crazy, but was subdued by the police officer, and with a 'click', she was handcuffed.

With the cold handcuffs on her wrists, Guan Xuemei finally regained some clarity.

"Why are you only handcuffing me? I wasn't the only one fighting! How are you police doing your jobs?" She even started questioning the police.

Ling Hui, both afraid and resentful, grabbed the underwear from the floor—which had been stepped on who knows how many times—crumpled it up, and stuffed it into Guan Xuemei's mouth.

"Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!" Guan Xuemei glared, silently furious.

Finally quiet, the police officer asked with a stern face: "What exactly is going on here?"

The Ling family members explained all at once, their language system as messy as a pot of congee.

The police officer had a headache and simply designated the Eldest Uncle, who looked the most sober, to speak.

The Eldest Uncle rattled off the story, adding his own embellishments.

This was originally a family matter.

Both sides had used their hands just now; it was impossible to figure out who was more at fault.

Finally, under the mediation and deterrence of the police, the four households of the Ling family apologized to each other and made peace.

Having calmed down, Guan Xuemei naturally didn't want to go to the police station.

Even if she was a thousand times unwilling, she couldn't act out in front of the police officers.

"And you all, what are you here for?" After resolving the Ling family's domestic affair, the police noticed a group of people standing to the side watching the show, who also seemed to have been entangled with the Ling family in the living room earlier.

Ling Guofu reacted first. "Right, Officer, please judge this for us. She is my son's girlfriend..."

"Watch your wording! Ex-girlfriend!" Hu Shiyao retorted loudly.

"Alright, alright, ex-girlfriend. My son was originally engaged to her, and we gave 188,000 in bride price. In short, things fell apart. They came here today to return the bride price, but only returned 108,000!" Ling Guofu finished in one breath without pausing.

Ling Yue thought she was hearing things.

Since when did her usually reticent father become so chatty?

"Officer, don't listen to his bullshit!" Hu Shiyao explained the true situation to the police.

"Since it's being returned to the person herself, that's no problem, but you need to provide transfer records or a receipt to prove it."

"Easy." Hu Shiyao held up her phone. "Sister Ling Yue, it's your turn to speak."

Oh my. So sudden!

A group of people were staring at her, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

Ling Yue tidied her hair, not knowing if she looked haggard on camera. "I, myself, attest that I have received the 80,000 yuan bride price returned by Hu Shiyao."

"Any more questions?" Hu Shiyao looked around arrogantly.

"Officer, that was my daughter's filial piety to me! It was supposed to be mine from the start!" Ling Guofu was still making a dying struggle.

This face disgusted Ling Yue so much.

Before Ling Yue could even start, Hu Shiyao snorted coldly: "You can't say it like that. Letting you hold onto it and giving it to you to spend are two different things."

The police didn't say anything, clearly tacitly agreeing.

Ling Guofu's vision went black, and he stumbled back several steps, collapsing onto the tattered sofa. "What a sin!!! Immediate retribution!!!"

Ling Yue rolled her eyes on the screen.

Hu Shiyao rolled her eyes on the spot.

"Alright, the matter is resolved. Everyone go back to your own homes. Those watching, go home and cook, don't gather here. Whoever causes trouble again, you're all coming with me to spend the night at the police station."

The police officer laid down the law. The Aunt let out a cold snort and left with an arrogant stride.

Hu Shiyao waved her hand. "Brothers, cousins, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Youngest Uncle... let's go!"

The dozen or so people from the Hu family, like candied haws, left in a string.

The final scene of the video showed Ling Hui curled up in a corner with a deathly pale face, Guan Xuemei crawling on the floor looking for her lost teeth, and Ling Guofu licking his fingers, counting the returned bride price in the bag.

The daughter-in-law was gone, their reputation was ruined, ties with relatives were severed, and they had become a laughingstock. It was believed that for a long time to come, they wouldn't be able to recover.

Ling Yue withdrew her gaze and looked down at the bottom right corner.

Thanks to the Number One Supporter, Hu Shiyao, for the 'tip'!

Ling Yue opened the WeChat chat box with Hu Shiyao: Thank you for just now!

The other party is typing...

Hu Shiyao: I wasn't speaking up for you, I just can't stand parents like that.

Ling Yue is editing a message.

Hu Shiyao's message arrived first: The Ling family matter is resolved. I don't want to have any more connection with anyone from the Ling family. Let's delete each other.

Ling Yue deleted the words she had typed and re-entered: Understood.

Ling Yue: Wishing you happiness every day, getting rich and beautiful!

Hu Shiyao: Thanks, and wishing you a speedy recovery too.

Ling Yue replied with an emoji, but a red exclamation mark appeared. She had been deleted.

Hu Shiyao was straightforward, dared to love and hate, and dared to think and act.

Ling Yue both admired and envied her.

If only she could possess such a strong heart. No! From now on, she could become whoever she wanted to be!
