Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Before Wang Fang could continue pretending...

Zhang Ning, who had been silent and restrained all along, finally spoke, her voice trembling and choked with sobs, every word dripping with blood and every sentence piercing the heart.

"Wang Fang, ask yourself honestly. If Secretary Qiao hadn't stepped in to support you today, if it had only been Yang Bai and me who came, would you still be saying these soft words about admitting your mistakes and correcting them?"

She raised her hand and pointed to Zhang Yong standing to the side, her eyes filled with tears of grievance, her tone full of sorrow and resentment.

"You probably already let Sun Chuan get away with it! You all planned this all along, pushing me to Sun Chuan, using my whole life to exchange for that hundred yuan to raise money for my brother's wedding dowry!"

From childhood to adulthood, she never experienced any warmth in the Zhang family.

They serve the whole family all day long, and are often beaten and scolded, living a life worse than the livestock in the house.

All my value from childhood to adulthood was being exploited and used by my family, ultimately becoming a bargaining chip for my brother to get married.

Now they think they can just brush off all the suffering with a casual remark like "family members don't hold grudges overnight"?

Is her life, her grievances, and all the pain she has suffered worthless in the eyes of these so-called parents?

Wang Fang was publicly exposed for her despicable thoughts, losing all face. She instantly tore off her pretense and angrily rebuked her.

"You, you unfilial daughter!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Zhang Ning hard across the face.

Zhang Ning was prepared and firmly grasped her wrist as she swung it. She was no longer the weak woman who could be manipulated by others.

Her eyes were filled with tears, but her tone was incredibly resolute: "Wang Fang, as far back as I can remember, I've never truly been your daughter!"

She turned to look at Qiao Tie beside her, and solemnly pleaded, forcing back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Secretary Qiao! The Zhang family has abused and beaten me since I was a child. They have repeatedly disregarded the law and acted against my will, attempting to sell their daughter for money."

I implore the organization to intervene and allow me to completely sever ties with them, separate my household registration, and from now on, we will owe each other nothing!

Hot tears welled up in her eyes, almost rolling down her cheeks, but Zhang Ning held them back with all her might.

She knew that these scars, accumulated over more than a decade, had to be reopened by her own hands today.

Even if it's heartbreaking, we must completely sever this unhealthy family bond.

Qiao Tie watched the scene unfold before him quietly, and sighed deeply in his heart.

Having served as an official for many years, he had seen countless unfortunate people with difficult backgrounds and tragic fates.

But Zhang Ning is the first person to be so severely exploited and mistreated by her biological parents.

After listening to Zhang Ning recount his entire past, Qiao Manman trembled slightly with anger, her heart filled with resentment and heartache.

She immediately looked at her father beside her.

"Father, you must say yes!"

Qiao Tie shook his head and looked coldly at the Zhang family.

"I'm making the decision right here today. Tomorrow, bring your household registration book and separate your household from Zhang Ning's. Your actions against the woman's will will be dealt with separately."

Wang Fang staggered and fell to the ground with a thud. It was all over.

Things have come to this point that the son may not even be able to get married, and all the money has been poured into the marriage.

They've incurred Sun Zhigang's wrath again, and if they're convicted, their family will probably never be able to hold their heads up in the village.

"Zhang, Zhang Ning, I can separate our household registration with you, but you absolutely cannot send us to jail! Also, you have to give me two hundred yuan for the separation; Yang Bai can afford it anyway!"

Zhang Ning looked up at Wang Fang and Zhang Fu, her eyes cold and devoid of any warmth, as if she were sizing up two complete strangers.

Yang Bai reached out and gently comforted Zhang Ning, who was still upset, and carefully shielded her behind him.

He then stepped forward, facing Wang Fang, whose face was ashen, and spoke in a firm and decisive tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

"We're not here to discuss this with you; we're here to formally inform you."

"You must register Ningning under a separate household registration. If you don't agree, I guarantee your future will be a hundred times harder than it is now."

After saying that, he didn't bother to look at the Zhang family members again. He turned around, gently took Zhang Ning's hand, and said softly, "Ningning, let's go."

He then turned to look at Qiao Tie, bowed slightly, and spoke apologetically.

"Secretary Qiao, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, but I'm sorry to have to make a fool of myself in front of you."

Qiao Tie shook his head slightly, his expression upright and dignified, his tone frank and simple: "It's just a small favor; cadres are meant to serve the people."

He raised his hand in a gesture and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, come with me to the car and go back."

Yang Bai quickly waved his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy, and politely declined.

"Secretary, this is too much trouble for you. We wouldn't dare to bother you. We'll just take the village tractor back."

Qiao Tie frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"This jeep is spacious enough to comfortably seat four people."

It was pitch black, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel. Taking a tractor back at night would be too dangerous, and any mishap would be a greater loss than gain.

Listen to me, get in the car.

Yang Bai had no choice but to get into the car. He sat in the middle, Zhang Ning sat behind the driver, and Qiao Tie, being the leader, naturally sat behind the passenger seat.

Qiao Manman naturally took the passenger seat.

As Wang Fang watched the car drive away, Zhang Fu helped her up, looking utterly dejected.

Zhang Yong asked from beside her, "What should we do about Mother?"

He had always been spoiled by his family and lacked his own opinions, so he was even more at a loss when faced with such a situation.

Wang Fang glared at him fiercely.

"What do you suggest we do? Yang Bai knows the Party Secretary of the Prefectural Committee, so we can only handle this on a small scale. First, you need to calm your wife down and prevent her family from breaking off the engagement. Otherwise, where will you find a wife in the future?"

This banquet cost the two elders most of their savings.

If their wives all run away, they won't be able to afford to marry another wife.

"OK."

Zhang Yong immediately went inside to deal with his new wife's emotions.

The jeep drove all the way back to the district compound.

The four people got off the car.

Qiao Tie lit a cigarette and said.

"I'll have Xiao Li take you to the nearby cadre guesthouse later."

"Also, Manman has always wanted to go back, but she's grown up now and I can't control her anymore."

"I heard that Zhang Ning is a good student, and I feel more at ease knowing that you're taking care of Manman."

"Look, could you take her out for a while? She can go fishing, as long as she's safe."

He had thoroughly investigated Yang Bai's background; he used to gamble, but his personality had changed drastically recently.

He led the villagers to prosperity, brought down many bad guys, and saved many people.

After changing his temperament, he treated his wife exceptionally well, as can be seen from Zhang Ning.

Yang Bai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this. Ningning, are you willing?"

"Secretary Qiao has helped me so much, of course I am willing to take care of Manman, and I will make great strides in her studies."

Zhang Ning nodded in agreement.

Qiao Tie smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Manman, I'll have someone find you a place to stay in Haiba Village."

You should listen to Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang; if you need anything, call the office landline directly.
