"Get out of here!"

Having witnessed Yu Cheng's despicable and shameless nature, Zhao Xiazhi felt like tearing him apart. "You liar! You have no right to say you like him. I will definitely hold your family accountable!"

"Xia Zhi, we've been together for over three months, are you really willing to ruin it?"

"I finally managed to escape from the countryside. My whole family can't even get enough to eat back home. They all depend on the money I send back to survive. Are you really going to drive my family to despair?"

"..."

It's gotten to this point.

Yu Cheng was still resorting to underhanded tactics, completely unaware of his mistakes.

Zhao Xiazhi looked at Yu Cheng through teary eyes.

Before, when she looked at him, she thought that apart from being ugly, he had all the advantages. He was like a light bulb, easily attracting all her attention.

But now, the light has vanished.

When she looked at Yu Cheng again, she realized that he was just an ugly and despicable ordinary person.

No.

He's not even as good as an ordinary person.

An average person is at least not as ugly as him.

She was so blind before, treating something that no one else wanted as a treasure.

Yu Cheng was still begging her to let him go, but Zhao Xiazhi wiped away her tears and shouted, "You're the one who ruined yourself, and you're the one who drove your family to their doom!"

"Natsuzhi!"

"roll!"

Zhao Xiazhi pushed Yu Cheng away and went to her parents' side. She felt ashamed and guilty. "Mom, do whatever you need to do. Don't worry about me."

Zhang Guiying patted her head, "It's good that you can see clearly now."

There was no blame.

There was no angry outburst.

Zhao Xiazhi felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears again. She tried her best to hold it in and sat obediently beside her parents, not giving Yu Cheng another glance.

Alright, now it's her turn to go on stage.

Zhang Guiying slammed her hand on the table and stood up, arguing her case forcefully and insisting on holding those responsible accountable.

Yu Cheng, Yu Ying, and Yu's uncle panicked and offered to compensate Zhang Guiying, but Zhang Guiying sternly refused. They then begged the police to mediate.

Both sides were very emotional.

The police officers separated the two families for mediation.

The police officer first asked Zhao Xiazhi about the details of her relationship with Yu Cheng over the past few months. After asking, he sighed and said, "Comrade Zhang Guiying, we understand your anger very well, but it will be very difficult to send Yu Cheng and his aunt and uncle to reform school on charges of fraud!"

In this situation, the police officers were also helpless. "Although deceiving someone's feelings is morally reprehensible, it does not constitute a crime."

"..."

The Zhao family members were all dumbfounded.

They suspected that the police had taken bribes from the Yu family and were deliberately speaking on their behalf.

The police officers explained the law to the group, saying, "my country's laws mainly regulate property and personal relationships between people. Simply put, deceiving someone purely out of affection, without causing actual property loss or personal injury, is usually not illegal."

Zhao Xueyi's eyes widened. "So you're just going to let them go like that?"

The police officer sighed and said, "In this situation, it is indeed difficult to convict you, but if you insist on pursuing the matter, we can cooperate by notifying your employer."

Yu Ying is retired and has no employer. Her uncle and Yu Cheng do have employers, but they are both permanent employees. Their employers can only issue a notice of criticism, not dismiss them.

In other words.

If they insist on pursuing the matter, it will only damage the reputation of the Yu family in the end.

"..."

The group was furious and found it hard to accept this outcome.

The police officer said tactfully, "A damaged reputation doesn't necessarily mean you have to report it to your workplace... Well, what I mean is, instead of pursuing accountability, it's better to ask for some substantial compensation. Of course, the specifics will depend on your own wishes."

Zhang Guiying narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled. "Officer, go and tell the Yu family that if they are sincere enough, my family is willing to accept compensation."

"OK."

The police went to deliver a message to Yu Cheng.

Five minutes later.

The two families sat down together again to discuss the issue of compensation.

Yu Cheng had no money to compensate Zhao Xiazhi, so he looked at his aunt for help. Yu Ying was furious, but in order to avoid being reformed, she had no choice but to pay the compensation.

Yu Ying offered to pay fifty yuan in compensation.

Without saying a word, Zhang Guiying turned and left.

Yu Ying panicked and quickly stopped him, "Hey, don't go! How can you be like this... If you feel it's not suitable, we can discuss it again. How can you just leave like that!"

"I don't talk to people who aren't sincere!"

Yu Ying dared not play any tricks anymore and gritted her teeth to increase the compensation to two hundred. She felt that two hundred was not too little. Yu Cheng had not managed to deceive Zhao Xiazhi. Besides, it was their family that was beaten today.

"two hundred?"

Zhang Guiying sneered, "My family doesn't need two hundred. You can keep your two hundred at home to have your babies."

"So what do you want?"

The police officer told Zhang Guiying to state her request directly, and Zhang Guiying asked for 1,000 yuan.

"You mean 'seize the young master'? You mean 'seize the young master'?"

Yu Ying jumped up and down in anger, "Are you crazy for money?! I'm not going to reconcile! So what if I go to a labor camp? Arrest me then, I'll go to a labor camp right now!"

The police also felt that Zhang Guiying was asking for too much.

Zhang Guiying said angrily, "Police officers, you don't need to persuade me. If it weren't for my son's quick thinking, my Xiazhi might have been tricked into marriage by Yu Cheng!"

"If my daughter marries such a despicable man, her life will be ruined! I'm only asking them for a thousand yuan; I'm already being lenient with them!"

"I'm going to make the Yu family bleed profusely, so they'll remember this lesson and never dare to help bad people do evil again! If Yu Ying isn't willing to settle, then so be it! Report this to her work unit, report this to her neighborhood committee, report this to her neighborhood committee!"

"I want everyone around the Yu family to know what kind of people they are!"

The police officer, also wanting to teach the Yu family a lesson, calmly agreed, "Fine, I'll call the factory and the neighborhood committee right now to come over."

Uncle Yu got anxious.

Yu Ying has retired, but he hasn't.

If the people in the factory find out what he did, how will he ever have the face to stay in the factory again!

Uncle Yu quickly stopped the police officer, saying, "Officer, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it!"

Yu Ying grabbed him, "Are you crazy! Where would we get so much money? That's a thousand yuan! You only earn eighty yuan a month. It would take us more than a year of not eating or drinking to save that much!"

"If you don't have money, just borrow it!"

Uncle Yu was furious. He pointed at Aunt Yu's nose and started yelling, "You think I want to pay compensation? If you hadn't acted so heartlessly, would we have had to pay compensation?!"

"Do you think they'll let us off the hook if we don't pay compensation? If my company finds out what I did, how will I face anyone at work? How will I face my colleagues of decades?"

"If the neighbors knew what we'd done, who would dare associate with us anymore!"

"For your nephew, you're willing to sacrifice your son's and daughter's reputation? Your son is about to get married; if word gets out about this, who would dare marry into our family!"

Yu Ying was stunned by the scolding.

She's always been the one in charge at home, and this is the first time her husband has ever scolded her like this.

Yu Ying was furious.

Just as he was about to retort, he heard Uncle Yu angrily say, "If you don't pay this money, we're getting a divorce! Anyway, your son and daughter aren't important to you. You can live with your nephew from now on and let him take care of you in your old age!"
