Back to the Eighties: A Beloved Marriage
Grandfather Zhao was still concerned about his reputation, while Grandma Zhao was crying out loud in embarrassment. At the same time, she raised her voice to complain to Grandfather Zhao, "As an old woman, I am being pressed down and beaten, and you don't care at all? After all these years of marriage, giving birth to sons and raising daughters for the Old Zhao Family, this is how it ends for me? All of you in the Old Zhao Family are heartless; none of you can be relied upon. I can't live like this anymore! I'm done with you!"
The reason Grandma Zhao felt so wronged was understandable. However, after shouting for a long time, her eyes kept glancing towards Zhao Guoqiang. This was quite suspicious.
The reason Grandma Zhao acted this way was simply because she wanted Zhao Guoqiang to support her this time.
After all, hadn't Zhao Guoqiang just rushed over to save her? Ultimately, she was Zhao Guoqiang's biological mother; how could he really ignore her well-being?
Thinking this way made Grandma Zhao feel inexplicably proud.
She was waiting to see what Zhao Guoqiang would do next. She didn't believe that Zhao Guoqiang would really dare to abandon his own mother.
Zhao Guoqiang was not particularly attentive and had not noticed Grandma Zhao's gaze. He simply stood still after being treated with impatience by Grandfather Zhao and decided against finishing the words he had left unspoken earlier.
Well, with Grandfather Zhao around, it wasn't really his place to intervene. Today's matter was indeed meddling on his part, and he had brought it upon himself.
Glancing at the now quiet courtyard, Zhao Guoqiang did not intend to linger any longer and prepared to leave.
"Qiang!" Just as Zhao Guoqiang wanted to leave, Grandma Zhao would not let him go so easily.
She had finally managed to call him back. If she could get Zhao Guoqiang to take her to the City, Grandma Zhao couldn't express how happy she would be.
Unfortunately, Grandma Zhao was destined to waste her expressions again. Zhao Guoqiang had no intention of softening towards her, let alone taking her to the City.
To Zhao Guoqiang, today's incident was merely an unexpected encounter. If he intervened, it was just fulfilling his duty in that situation. Not getting a good outcome and being blamed was because he failed to recognize his position in the eyes of Grandfather Zhao and Grandma Zhao.
However, making one mistake after another truly showed that he was too foolish.
Thus, disregarding Grandma Zhao's cries, Zhao Guoqiang turned around and strode away.
Grandma Zhao wiped her tears and immediately chased after him. She had to hurry and bring him back; otherwise, what would she do?
Could she rely on the old man at home? She wasn't really that foolish!
As Zhao Guoqiang left, many villagers from Willow Leaf Village who had come with him did not hesitate and followed suit.
In just a moment, the noisy Zhao Family courtyard returned to silence once again.
Things reverted to how they were at the beginning, with only Wu Feng's Wife and her maternal family members continuing to confront Grandfather Zhao and the others.
Grandfather Zhao felt like cursing. Couldn't Zhao Guoqiang wait until Wu Feng's Wife's group had left before he left? Did he have to watch their family being bullied and humiliated? Grandfather Zhao naturally wouldn't reflect on how incompetent he was or face how cowardly and useless he truly was. Besides being domineering at home, he had no real skills or abilities. He was used to being a king in his own house but turned into a coward as soon as he stepped outside. Such a Grandfather Zhao had nothing to be proud of.
Chen Cui and the others also wanted to curse. There was nothing they could do. The strongest fighter in their family was Grandma Zhao. Yet Grandma Zhao didn’t say a word and just ran after Zhao Guoqiang?
Had Grandma Zhao considered how those left behind felt? Did she not feel guilty leaving them to face Wu Feng's Wife's group alone?
Regardless, Wu Feng's Wife's maternal family stood right there, and it was clear that the matter was far from over.
Wu Feng's Wife indeed wasn’t hitting anyone anymore. She simply focused on Wu Feng and asked, "Are you coming back with me or not?"
"I’m not." Wu Feng showed some backbone, shaking his head firmly in refusal. However, one had to ignore his action of standing behind Zhao Ying'er.
Such a big man, taller and stronger than Zhao Ying'er, yet he didn’t even have the courage to stand in front of her and face his own wife. It was hard to understand what he was so proud of in his daily life.
Faced with Wu Feng's refusal, Wu Feng's Wife narrowed her eyes and raised her fist towards him: "Try saying that again!"
A threat! A blatant threat! But strangely enough, Wu Feng was intimidated by this.
There was nothing he could do; he had been scared by this woman. Even when she merely waved her fist slightly, he felt like he wanted to die.
However, due to Zhao Ying'er blocking his way, Wu Feng managed to hold his ground.
"I've made up my mind, I want a divorce!" This time, Wu Feng's voice was relatively firm, accompanied by an inexplicable confidence.
To provoke his wife into divorcing him, Wu Feng pointed at Zhao Ying'er, including the daughter in her arms: "Look, you saw it with your own eyes. I've decided to live with my wife and daughter. As for you, go back where you came from; I'm not playing along anymore."
"Wu Feng, are you asking for a beating? Do you believe that if you say one more word, I'll make it so your mother wouldn't recognize you?" Wu Feng's Wife was furious with Wu Feng. Stamping her foot, she was ready to engage in a fierce battle with him.
Wu Feng instinctively took two steps back, hands on his head, showing a clear sense of self-protection.
However, the next moment, he felt that this display was too embarrassing and quickly lowered his hands, deliberately pretending to be calm: "Don't threaten me. I've made up my mind to divorce you. It doesn't matter how much you say."
"Doesn't matter, huh? Then let’s see how it feels to get beaten." Cracking her knuckles, Wu Feng's Wife approached him without hesitation.
"Don't do anything reckless." Zhao Ying'er was actually scared. After all, Wu Feng's Wife had defeated both her grandmother and mother single-handedly. But at this moment, if she stepped aside, there would be no future for her and Wu Feng.
So she could only suppress her fear and stood in front of Wu Feng's Wife.
Deep down, Zhao Ying'er harbored intense hatred for Wu Feng. She couldn't understand why he had been so eager to divorce her only to marry such a woman later.
What was so great about this woman? She wasn't even as good as Zhao Jin! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Zhao Ying'er inexplicably found some courage, slightly raised her chin, and shot a disdainful glance at Wu Feng's Wife: "There’s a proper order to things. In front of me as the ex-wife, shouldn't you be more respectful and honest? Who are you shouting at?"
"Who are you trying to hit? The man behind me is not just your husband; he’s also the father of my child! What right do you have to hit my child's father? Who do you think you are?"
"Who do I think I am? I’m the current wife of the man behind you! Zhao Ying'er, do you still have any shame left? You know very well that you're nothing more than Wu Feng's ex-wife now. What gives you the right to stand here and act tough? Do you think you're impressive? Do you think you have the right to yell at me?"
Wu Feng's Wife was not one to back down easily. Since she planned to come to Zhao Ying'er's home today, she was fully prepared. Confronting Zhao Ying'er had been anticipated; she didn't flinch at all. On the contrary, because she was facing Zhao Ying'er, Wu Feng's Wife felt even more justified: "As for the girl in your arms, let’s be blunt—admit it yourself; no one in the Wu Family acknowledges her! Otherwise, how come after marrying Wu Feng for so long, I’ve never heard his family mention this child even once? When you gave birth to her, the Wu Family refused to acknowledge her. Now that she's several years old, do you really think they would take her back as their treasure? Stop dreaming!"
"You’re the one who should stop dreaming! Who says I don’t acknowledge my daughter? This is my daughter! A child of the Wu Family! Who do you think you are?" Fearing that Zhao Ying'er might recall their past grievances because of this woman's words and ignore him entirely, Wu Feng quickly stepped forward to express his stance.
"Hah! Wu Feng, don't you feel guilty saying that? If you really liked this girl so much, why didn’t you bring her back earlier? What’s this? Now that you don’t want to live with me anymore, you're turning back to find them? Do you think this will lead to a good life for you? Wu Feng, let me tell you—if you want me to divorce you, there’s no way! Just keep dreaming!"
Wu Feng's Wife was completely unfazed by Wu Feng's words; not only did she deliver a sharp retort but also included Zhao Ying'er in her response: "Are you really that clueless? Don’t you realize what kind of person this man is? If he were truly a good man, would you have needed to divorce him in the first place?"
"He's so bad, yet you still cling to him? How can you still have the face to talk to me?" Zhao Ying'er exclaimed, clearly unable to maintain her composure, her anger evident.
"I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I can beat him up at home for fun! I'm just passing the time! What about you? Do you have that ability?" Since she had already lost all her dignity, Wu Feng's Wife decided to throw caution to the wind and disregard her reputation.
Zhao Ying'er was obviously taken aback. What was going on? Was this woman really in her right mind? Who marries a man just to beat him up for fun?
Zhao Ying'er naturally couldn't understand Wu Feng's Wife's feelings. Ever since marrying Wu Feng, she had been treated coldly by him. After enduring various forms of indifference, neglect, and harsh words, Wu Feng's Wife had finally toughened up.
She didn't love Wu Feng, so she wouldn't get hurt. Regardless of whether she divorced him or not, her life wouldn't necessarily improve; even if she stayed married, she lived better than anyone else. Why should she help Wu Feng?
Wu Feng's Wife had made up her mind: since Wu Feng wouldn't let her live well, she certainly wouldn't allow him to be satisfied.
Wu Feng's Wife was truly formidable; together, Zhao Ying'er and Wu Feng were no match for her. On the contrary, they were left quite frustrated by her.
Zhao Ying'er had heard about the discord between Wu Feng and his wife but had never witnessed firsthand how difficult Wu Feng's Wife could be.
In any other situation, Zhao Ying'er would have mocked Wu Feng for being blind.
This was the wife he married later? She thought she would be outstanding! Instead, it turned out she was just a shrew! How could Wu Feng still have the face to be proud everywhere...
However, in this moment and place, Zhao Ying'er found herself unable to mock Wu Feng; instead, she was dragged into the mess because of him. Especially the feeling of being scolded by Wu Feng's Wife while being pointed at was truly unpleasant. Yet Zhao Ying'er had her own principles. She had already taken the crucial first step; now Wu Feng was willing to cooperate with her and even acknowledged their daughter for the first time in history. Even if it was just for their daughter, she had to stand firm against this woman.
Wu Feng's Wife didn't share Zhao Ying'er's thoughts. Seeing Wu Feng cowering behind Zhao Ying'er, she looked down on him greatly. And seeing Zhao Ying'er treating Wu Feng like a treasure made Wu Feng's Wife scoff; everything about it displeased her.
Who knew what was wrong with Zhao Ying'er that she insisted on getting involved with Wu Feng again?
If Wu Feng weren't her husband, it wouldn't matter much to her; she'd just consider it a show. But they were still married! Why did Zhao Ying'er have to jump out now? At the very least, she should wait until Wu Feng divorced her before making a move!
With these thoughts in mind, Wu Feng's Wife decided not to waste any more words with Zhao Ying'er and simply aimed to forcefully take Wu Feng away.
Wu Feng's Wife had just made a name for herself in the recent altercation with Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui. At this moment, she was forcefully trying to drag Wu Feng away, and no one from the Zhao Family dared to stop her.
Originally, Grandfather Zhao and Zhao Guofu were merely going along with the situation; they had no particular feelings for Wu Feng. What happened to Wu Feng was of no concern to them. They could stand by while their own daughter-in-law was being hit, so how could they possibly care about Wu Feng?
Zhao Ying'er wanted to hold onto Wu Feng, but unfortunately, she was holding a child and was not a match for Wu Feng's Wife. In the end, it all came to nothing.
In fact, Wu Feng was the most embarrassed person in this situation. A grown man being publicly dragged out by his own wife by the ear, while being scolded—how could Wu Feng endure that?
This was a humiliating situation! His reputation was completely ruined by this woman! He wanted a divorce; he would do anything to get one!
No matter how loudly Wu Feng shouted, Wu Feng's Wife ignored him, treating his cries as mere grunts. The onlookers remained silent, not daring to speak up.
It must be said that the dynamic between Wu Feng and his wife was quite a spectacle. Everyone knew that this couple would likely continue to have their issues and would definitely not enjoy a peaceful life together.
However, since ancient times, people have always advised reconciliation rather than separation. Moreover, since Wu Feng and his wife were still married and had not divorced yet, it was best for others to let them handle their own affairs behind closed doors. The onlookers could only watch from a distance.
Wu Feng wanted to cry. He genuinely wanted to divorce this fierce woman. He would do anything for a divorce and even sought out Zhao Ying'er, moving into the Zhao Family. Any other woman would have agreed to divorce him, right? Who would have thought he ended up marrying someone who insisted on clinging to him?
Just thinking about the miserable life that awaited him made Wu Feng feel like crying.
Zhao Jin learned about this series of events from Zhao Guoqiang.
It was also because Wu Feng and his wife made such a big scene that now the villagers from both Zhou Tai Village and Willow Leaf Village were enjoying the show and gossiping about it.
As a member of the Zhao Family, Zhao Guoqiang couldn't help but hear more details from the villagers, making it hard for him not to understand what was going on.
Regarding his niece Zhao Ying'er, all he could do was shake his head in disapproval. He also felt helpless and sighed at the actions of Grandfather Zhao and others, expressing his disagreement multiple times while recounting the story to Zhao Jin and others.
"Deserved!" Qian Minmin crossed her arms and was the first to respond. She had never thought highly of Zhao Ying'er and Wu Feng, so hearing that they were doing poorly together brought her amusement.
"Is that new wife of Wu Feng really that impressive?" Xu Mei exclaimed in surprise. Especially when she heard that Wu Feng's Wife had single-handedly taken down both Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Absolutely! I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, our mother and Fourth Sister-in-Law were pinned down on the ground in the yard while our father and Fourth Brother just stood there watching without moving. I really... sigh, I’m speechless!" Other than those two words, Zhao Guoqiang couldn't find any other way to express his feelings at that moment.
Moreover, even now, Zhao Guoqiang still cannot understand the reactions and actions of Grandfather Zhao and Zhao Guofu. Implicitly, there is inevitably a mix of disapproval in his words.
In fact, it is not just Zhao Guoqiang; even Xu Mei and a few others feel that Grandfather Zhao and Zhao Guofu are being unreasonable. No matter what, they cannot just stand there doing nothing! Isn't that just allowing outsiders to bully their own family?
Although they had long given up hope for the character of Grandfather Zhao and Zhao Guofu, hearing about such matters still left Xu Mei and the others feeling quite disheartened.
"So did Wu Feng and his wife get divorced or not?" Grandma Zhao was not surprised at all that Chen Cui would get beaten up.
One should never be too arrogant. Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui are quite the oddballs, and their relatives are well aware of this. Zhao Jin firmly believes that Grandma Zhao and Chen Cui cannot go on bullying others forever.
Therefore, being taught a harsh lesson by Wu Feng's Wife like this was only a matter of time. If it wasn't Wu Feng's Wife, it would be someone else; Zhao Jin didn't take it to heart at all.
However, whether Wu Feng and Wu Feng's Wife successfully divorced or not, Zhao Jin was still quite interested in this joke. "No," Zhao Guoqiang had no idea about this matter either. "I don't know what Wu Feng's Wife is trying to prove. It's already such a mess, yet she refuses to get divorced. The Wu Family used to be so unreasonable, but now they have encountered someone even more unreasonable and have completely backed down. Look, they still haven't divorced."
"This is what you call evil people having their own nemesis." Grandma Qi also did not particularly like the Wu Family. She still remembers when Wu Feng's family came to their house to cause a ruckus!
Thus, hearing that Wu Feng's family is not doing well now, Grandma Qi did not hold back in mocking them.
Even someone as kind-hearted as Grandma Qi could say such things, which shows just how unpopular Wu Feng's family is.
Of course, the drama of Wu Feng's family would not affect the lives of Zhao Jin and the others. After some reflections, they stopped mentioning the matter.
None of them are gossip lovers, nor do they particularly like Grandma Zhao or the Wu Family. Even in conversation, everyone felt it was rather dull.
As for Grandma Zhao insisting that Zhao Guoqiang move to City, Zhao Jin and the others instinctively avoided the topic.
To put it bluntly, with Grandma Zhao's character, anyone who pays attention to her is a fool. Zhao Jin and the others truly do not feel any familial affection towards Grandma Zhao, so they wouldn't take it too seriously.
Good or bad is each person's fate. No matter how down-and-out their family becomes, they would never expect Grandma Zhao to give them even a grain of rice. On the contrary, they hope that Grandma Zhao can maintain her usual demeanor and not ruin her fierce reputation built over many years.
At this point, trying to play the victim is really not very appealing.
Qi Zheng's furniture factory has expanded once again, and business is booming. In addition, Zhao Jin's clothing orders are coming in one after another. Both of them are bold entrepreneurs, and they have consecutively purchased several properties and storefronts.
Without any room for negotiation, all the properties and storefronts are still registered under Zhao Jin's name.
Zhao Jin has expressed her objections, but they have always been dismissed by Qi Zheng. As a result, while Zhao Jin silently accepted this, she secretly made a great decision: from now on, she would buy properties and storefronts behind Qi Zheng's back and register them all under Qi Zheng's name, to see how he would argue with her then.
Qi Zheng truly does not know what Zhao Jin is plotting at this moment. However, even if he did know, he would simply allow Zhao Jin to do whatever she wants. He has always been indulgent towards her.
As time goes by, regardless of how lively Willow Leaf Village and Zhou Tai Village are, Zhao Jin and the others lead a life that can be described as calm and harmonious.
It is at this moment that Hu Qiao'er’s ex-husband comes knocking.
The ex-husband just heard that Hu Qiao'er has remarried. Unable to contain his anger, he drunkenly grabbed a kitchen knife and went to confront Hu Qiao'er.
"You unfaithful woman! How dare you marry another man while bringing my son along? Today, I will take the life of your lover!" The ex-husband was furious and spoke roughly, brandishing the kitchen knife as he prepared to fight Hu Qiao'er.
Hu Qiao'er did not expect that after all this time, this man would come knocking again. Seeing him with a kitchen knife and intending to go after Qi Feng, Hu Qiao'er turned pale with fear: "Don't do anything reckless!"
"I’m being reckless! What can you do about it? Hu Qiao'er, I warn you to divorce that man quickly! If I find out you're still involved with him, I’ll chop you up too!" The ex-husband's eyes were bloodshot; he felt like he was wearing a bright green hat on his head and threatened viciously.
"You dare!" Zhao Jin had come to inspect the clothing store's business. She doesn't come often but isn't completely uninformed either. Just so happened that she ran into the troublemaking ex-husband.
"Who do you think you are?" Hu Qiao'er’s ex-husband had been to the clothing store a few times but had never seen Zhao Jin. Therefore, he did not recognize her.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Looking calmly at Hu Qiao'er’s ex-husband, Zhao Jin appeared righteous and showed no signs of being intimidated. "I advise you to leave quickly. I've already called the police. If you don't want to get arrested, you'd better leave now."
"Ha! Who are you trying to fool? I'm just looking for my wife; how is that against the law? I don't believe your nonsense!" Because Zhao Jin looked delicate and weak, Hu Qiao'er’s ex-husband was not afraid of her at all. He remained skeptical of what she said and smirked sarcastically.
"Fine! If you don’t believe me, let’s just wait here together." Having already given her warning, since the other party didn't believe her, Zhao Jin shrugged her shoulders and maintained a calm demeanor.
"You..." Due to Zhao Jin's calmness, Hu Qiao'er's Ex-Husband couldn't help but believe him a little, "Did you really? Did you really call the police?"
"Do I need to joke about something like this with you?" Zhao Jin looked at him seriously, his words carrying a strong sense of conviction. "Even if you called the police, I'm still going to have a clear talk with this filthy woman!" Hu Qiao'er's Ex-Husband was scared. But despite his fear, he was unwilling to leave. "Hu Qiao'er, I want you to divorce that man immediately, do you hear me? And my son, return him to me! I can take care of him myself; you don't need to!"
Upon hearing that the man wanted to take their child away, Hu Qiao'er's face turned even paler. She shook her head and replied in a trembling voice, "I will not give Lin to you. You only know how to drink and hit people; you are not fit to be Lin's father."
"So what if I hit people? I wouldn't hit my own son; why would you worry?" The Ex-Husband was quite self-aware. He readily admitted to hitting others but refused to acknowledge hitting children.
If you don't believe it, just ask Shen Lin if his father ever hit him!
The Ex-Husband was so confident, yet Hu Qiao'er didn't believe him at all. She knew her Ex-Husband well; when he got drunk, he didn't recognize anyone. There were many times when she had to stop him from smashing a bottle over Shen Lin's head.
So for the Ex-Husband, Hu Qiao'er dared not hold any hope and wished they would never have to interact again.
However, the Ex-Husband was relentless. Even though he could see Hu Qiao'er’s reluctance and refusal, he still insisted on taking Shen Lin away.
Oh right, and the divorce matter also had to be addressed immediately. Hu Qiao'er must divorce that scoundrel she was with now! Otherwise, he would make those two pay with their lives!
Seeing that the man was difficult to deal with, Zhao Jin looked around and seriously considered whether she should go get help first.
After all, the house wasn't far from the Clothing Store; it would only take her about ten minutes to run back and forth.
However, glancing at the clearly intoxicated drunkard, Zhao Jin became genuinely worried that this Ex-Husband might suddenly go crazy and attack someone with a knife.
If she wasn't there at that moment, no one would be able to stop him from hurting Hu Qiao'er. If something happened, how could she explain it to her uncle?
If she had known this would happen today, she wouldn't have let her uncle go with Qi Zheng to oversee the improvements at the furniture factory. Who would have thought that as soon as her uncle was absent from the Furniture Store, such an incident would occur on Hu Qiao'er's side?
Grinding her teeth, Zhao Jin felt a bit anxious.
She did call the police, but she had no idea when they would arrive. Waiting like this was clearly not a solution...
There was always a way out. This saying was not without reason. Just as Zhao Jin's heart began to grow colder, Qi Zheng miraculously appeared out of nowhere.
"Qi Zheng!" The moment she saw Qi Zheng, Zhao Jin felt her heart calm down. It was as if she had taken a calming pill, and the effect was surprisingly good.
"What happened?" Qi Zheng had noticed from a distance that something seemed off and quickly walked over without hesitation.
Standing beside Zhao Jin, Qi Zheng grabbed her arm. If there was any danger, he would immediately pull Zhao Jin behind him to protect her.
Zhao Jin wasted no time and quickly explained the situation to Qi Zheng.
Upon hearing that the man with the knife was Hu Qiao'er's ex-husband, Qi Zheng frowned. His gaze sharpened as he coldly glared at the ex-husband.
The ex-husband did not expect another man to suddenly appear. Seeing the man's age, he realized that this man could not be Hu Qiao'er's current husband. Noticing how close the man was to Zhao Jin, he immediately guessed that this must be Zhao Jin's husband.
With this assumption, the ex-husband felt somewhat relieved. He had no intention of clashing with Qi Zheng; instead, he waved the kitchen knife, signaling for Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin to leave quickly: "You two have nothing to do with this; just get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Hearing the ex-husband's so-called threat, Zhao Jin rolled her eyes in disbelief.
What an absurd drunk! If they truly had nothing to do with him, would they still be standing here? Moreover, any passerby with a sense of justice would surely step in upon seeing the ex-husband brandishing a knife at Hu Qiao'er.
Qi Zheng certainly would not back down. In response to the ex-husband's intimidation, he not only stood his ground but took two steps forward, closing the distance between himself and the ex-husband.
Qi Zheng's presence was genuinely intimidating. Even though the ex-husband held a kitchen knife, he instinctively took two steps back in fear.
This only made Qi Zheng seem even more formidable.
"Y-You don't... don't come any closer!" The ex-husband stammered as Qi Zheng's intimidating aura shook him awake from his drunken state, making him less reckless.
Despite having previously abused Hu Qiao'er at home, once outside, he was just an ordinary person. Under normal circumstances, if he were to actually use that knife on someone, he would be more afraid than anyone else.
The reason why I dared to find trouble with Hu Qiao'er today was simply because I had drunk too much and gathered some courage.
At this moment, as the alcohol wore off, Ex-Husband's hand holding the kitchen knife began to tremble. If Qi Zheng scared him again, it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up hurting himself.
Ex-Husband naturally couldn't intimidate Qi Zheng. The more his hands shook, the calmer Qi Zheng became. At this point, the situation had completely reversed, and it was Ex-Husband who was now terrified.
By the time the police finally arrived, Ex-Husband's legs had gone weak, and he had lost all his courage.
Because Ex-Husband had committed an act of violence in public, although he hadn't harmed anyone yet, the impact was extremely negative. The officers wasted no time and took Ex-Husband away. Along with him were Hu Qiao'er, Zhao Jin, and Qi Zheng.
As for the Clothing Store, Zhao Jin decided to close it temporarily. Once the matter involving Hu Qiao'er and Ex-Husband was resolved, she would reopen.
Golden Accessories had no worries about business. Just moments ago, when Hu Qiao'er’s Ex-Husband caused a scene, many customers witnessed the drunken man brandishing a knife with intent to harm.
Because of this, at that moment, many customers were willing to help testify. When they saw Zhao Jin about to close the store, they quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Don't close the door! We haven't bought our clothes yet!"
"Yeah! I've got my eye on several items; I need to wear them to meet friends this afternoon!"
"I have a train to catch; I need to buy a few more pieces before I leave! You can't close now!"
Suddenly faced with the enthusiasm of the customers, Zhao Jin felt truly helpless. She had no choice but to go home and call Qian Minmin over to temporarily watch the store.
Only then did she manage to calm down the customers' uproar and restore normal operations at the Clothing Store.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jin quietly cooperated with the police as a witness.
The situation involving Hu Qiao'er and Ex-Husband was actually quite easy to handle. Especially after the police intervened, that man immediately backed down.
However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Zhao Jin. At the same time, he specifically emphasized this matter to Qi Feng.
Qi Feng had not anticipated such an occurrence. He furrowed his brows, and his expression changed several times.
He was genuinely grateful for Qi Zheng's sudden decision today. Because he had forgotten to inform Zhao Jin about the situation, they had already walked halfway when Qi Zheng returned alone to the Clothing Store.
Thanks to Qi Zheng's timely appearance, he saved Hu Qiao'er. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Just thinking about how he was not present during such a dangerous situation filled Qi Feng with guilt. In this matter, he had to be thankful for Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng's strong support.
He couldn't help but feel that he owed more and more to Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng.
Qi Lin learned about today's events after returning home from school.
He naturally had some impression of his biological father, but there was not even a hint of fondness.
Even at a young age, he had witnessed that man hitting him too many times. Given the chance, Qi Lin would definitely retaliate. However, for now, he had to wait until he grew up to protect his mother properly.
Therefore, until he grew up, he was willing to entrust his mother’s safety to his new family members.
Qi Lin trusted Qi Feng and all of Zhao Jin's relatives. He knew that as long as these family members were around, his mother would surely be safe.
Zhao Jin and the others were initially worried that this incident would leave a negative impact on Qi Lin's young mind. Fortunately, although Qi Lin was young, his ability to cope was surprisingly strong, which reassured them. As for the so-called Ex-Husband, it was fortunate that he did not know that Qi Lin had changed his surname to "Qi." Otherwise, he might truly be spitting blood in anger.
