Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 80: Break Up From Now On

Yang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "No need to do that. There's no need to do that. These cats are too small. As long as they're cute, I can just pick one.

"It's just..., what does General Liu plan to do with the cats that Yang has left?"

Liu Yiguan understood what Yang Yuan meant as soon as he heard it and couldn't help but laugh again.

This time, a rare hint of tenderness appeared on his stiff and rigid face.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu also has a cat at home.

"Whatever the master has left, Liu will ask the family to take it back one by one. He will not abandon it."

Such a rigid and serious person is actually a cat lover?
Yang Yuan really couldn't imagine the scene of him shouting at the cat at the top of his voice after returning home from work.

Yang Yuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll pick one..."

Yang Yuan stuck his head into the carriage and was about to pick one with good appearance when suddenly a loud shouting and cursing was heard.

Yang Yuan shrank back from the car, looked into the distance following the sound, and saw a large group of people rushing towards the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant.

Aunt Deng hung one arm across her chest with a cloth belt and walked in the front, looking very proud and confident.

Uncle Fan was on crutches, and he moved very quickly, not at all slower than Aunt Deng.

Deng's uncle still had a black eye, and he was cheering everyone up as he walked along, spitting all over the place:
"You don't have to be afraid. Dan Niang has already been sold to the Ding family. A woman married twice, so the later marriage does not count.

"We want to take her back to the Ding family. It's legal and reasonable, and no one can accuse us of anything wrong."

Fan Dong shouted loudly, "My uncle is right! If my sister dares to speak out, she will not only be sued, but she will also lose the restaurant!

"Once she sees us, she will definitely give in. The more aggressive we are, the more scared she will be!"

Father Fan, with a bandage wrapped around his head, smiled apologetically at the group of relatives who had come to cheer him up, "Yes, yes, yes, everyone will follow my wife's instructions. After the matter is accomplished, you will definitely get some benefits!"

Following behind were seven or eight relatives from the Fan and Deng families, each of them with a flushed face from excitement.

When Yang Yuan saw that the people leading the group were Dan Niang's parents and family, his face darkened.

Liu Yiguan was the judicial officer of Lin'an Prefecture. Almost all criminal cases in Kyoto had to go through his hands. His vision was extremely vicious.

As soon as he saw Yang Yuan's expression, he knew that the appearance of those country people must be related to Yang Yuan.

Liu Canjun asked, "Mr. Yang, who are those people?"

Yang Yuan said coldly, "Those are the unscrupulous parents who sold their daughter. They gathered a group of greedy country folk to come here and cause trouble."

As soon as he saw the people's attire, Liu Yiguan knew that they were some unconnected villagers, but he still didn't know why they were causing trouble.

After hearing what Yang Yuan said, General Liu immediately understood.

General Liu smiled warmly at Yang Yuan, and the wrinkles on his face made his smile even more frightening.

"Okay, if you need help later, Mr. Yang, just give me a wink!"

Fan Shi and his group rushed to the door of "Shuiyunjian" and started shouting and cursing loudly inside.

After a while, some timid guests hastily paid the bill and quickly left the restaurant.

When Dan Niang heard the waiter's warning, she was startled but not panicked.

She immediately returned to the bedroom, took out the two "documents of pawning", put them in her arms respectively, and then led Qingtang downstairs in a hurry.

She was afraid that her parents would smash and destroy the store again. If this happened again and again, the news would get out and she would no longer be able to do business.

Yang Yuan walked to the door of the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant, stood behind a person from the Fan family, and watched coldly.

General Liu was waiting for his expression, and he was also waiting for Dan Niang's expression.

Can Dan Niang cleanly and neatly draw a line between herself and her "family" who have nothing to do with her except blood ties?

He wanted to see Dan Niang's courage and determination, and not to be too impulsive!
When Dan Niang arrived at the lobby, she saw that her parents had already brought people into the yard, blocked the store door, and were making a lot of noise.

The guys stood inside the door to block them, of course, they were just blocking them without showing any real effort.

They just came here to work and earn a living, and it was not worth it to work hard for the shopkeeper. When Dan Niang saw that Yang Yuan was not there, she felt a little panic in her heart, and touched the pawning document hidden in her arms, and then she regained some courage.

As soon as Dan Niang arrived, the guys made way for her.

When they saw Dan Niang arriving, Old Man Fan and his wife became even more arrogant.

Aunt Deng yelled, "Little bitch, I didn't come here today for your store.

"As long as you sell this shop for a price and give me half the money, we will leave immediately.

"From now on, we will never have any contact with each other again. Otherwise..."

Fan Dong shook the rope in his hand and threatened: "Sister, if you don't agree, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherly love.

"We will tie you up right now and send you back to Fuchun County and to Tianzhong Mountain."

Qingtang's face turned red with anger. She looked around, ran over and picked up a door bar from behind the door, then walked back angrily and stood beside Dan Niang.

Uncle Fan started to act red-faced again: "Dan Niang, don't you know your own situation clearly?
"Uncle, you don't need to explain it too clearly. Even if your shop assistants hear it, it won't be good for you."

Uncle Deng said, "Yes, Dan Niang, your lover can protect you for a while, but can he protect you forever?
"Besides, we have inquired about it. The Imperial City Marriage Officer is not a proper official. How can he have any authority under the Emperor's feet?"

Dan Niang thought she had completely given up on this family, but when she saw their ugly faces with her own eyes, she was still shaking with anger.

Dan Niang slowly shifted her gaze and looked at the relatives behind her parents whose faces were familiar but whose names and generations she could not remember.

A hint of sarcasm slowly appeared at the corners of Dan Niang's lips. She said loudly: "Why are you being so vague? Don't you dare to say it out loud? Are you afraid that if you say it out loud, you will lose everything and gain nothing?"

Dan Niang's almond-shaped eyes spit fire, and she said in hatred: "You dare not say it, I will say it myself!

"Isn't it because you lost your conscience and sold me to the Ding family as a concubine?
"You want to use this to hold me hostage for the rest of my life? I've told you about it myself now, so what?"

Dan Niang took a few steps forward, and Old Man Fan and his wife subconsciously stepped back down the stairs.

But they soon realized that they had shown weakness and their faces turned red with annoyance.

Dan Niang took out a "body pawning document" from her bosom, slowly opened it, and slowly showed it to the shop assistants on both sides, the customers who had not left the store, and the relatives who were crowded outside the door.

Then, she raised her chin, looked at Mr. and Mrs. Fan proudly, held the document in her hand, and read it aloud:

"Fan Shi, who lived at the foot of Tianzhong Mountain in Fuchun County, had a daughter, Dan Niang, who was nineteen years old and whom he raised by himself.

"Because I have no idea what to eat, I voluntarily take Ding Zheng, the indenture holder, as my concubine. Today I will receive 150 strings of silver.

"From now on, I will obey the silver owner. If you see me like this and run away, I will follow you and return you.

"If the feng shui is not good, it is my own fate and has nothing to do with the silver owner.

"Now I want to have proof, so I will write a sales contract and give it to the silver owner with my handprint as proof..."

As Dan Niang read on, her eyes began to turn red.

She raised her head with red eyes and looked coldly at Fan Shi and his wife in front of her.

"Fan Shi, you tricked me back home, asked Fan Dong to tie me up, and grabbed my fingers to make handprints!

"Your signature is on it, in black words and red handprints, clear and obvious."

Fan Dong was shocked and asked, "Sister, how come this pawn document is in your hands?"

Second Uncle Fan seemed to have grasped the truth, his face was full of joy, he pointed at Dan Niang and said:
"Great! You dare to call your biological father by his name? This is disobedience! This is disobedience!"

Dan Niang sneered and said to Fan Dong: "Of course someone helped me redeem this pawn document!

"So, there's no need for you to tie me back to the Ding family!

Also, don't call me sister, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Then, she turned to Uncle Fan, who was secretly delighted: "Since 'I will obey the silver owner from now on',
"Dan Niang will only recognize the silver owner who bought me in her whole life.
"What does it have to do with you? Fan Jian, Mr. Fan!"
