Chapter 141: Yearning for a Stirring Life
Just half an hour later, over a dozen police cars came howling with their sirens blaring.
The commotion was huge this time, and nearly all the villagers at home in Huangyang Village rushed over. Everyone saw with their own eyes as the chairman of Daqian Group and his son were handcuffed and taken away. At the same time, many employees from Daqian Group were named and put into police cars.
As Gong Daqian and the others were taken away, the onlookers were reluctant to disperse for a long time.
When the villagers witnessed Gong Daqian begging on his knees, they were already shocked, but now seeing him and his son being taken away by the police, the shock in everyone's hearts was even greater.
"I've always said that such a beautiful girl must come from an extraordinary background, and you didn't believe me."
"Yeah, yeah, Changjin's nephew has made something of himself, he's found a good wife to bring home."
"Now the Yang Changjin's family is bound to prosper."
"Cough, cough, with such a big event today, it was that woman who stepped forward to solve everything, Yang Fei that lad is probably just a nobody."
"Mmm-hmm, might even be a stay-at-home son-in-law. Otherwise, how could a child from a wealthy big city family fancy this poor boy?"
The villagers discussed privately among themselves.
Yang Fei listened more speechless and found Qin Yanyang sneakily looking at him with a smile.
Yang Fei said, "At this rate, in less than an hour, everyone within ten miles will know I became a stay-at-home son-in-law."
Qin Yanyang giggled, "From the sound of it, it seems like you're not willing?"
Yang Fei chuckled, "Of course I'm willing. Didn't you just hear them? They said you are so beautiful, and if you say the word, there are plenty of people willing to be a stay-at-home son-in-law."
Yang Changjin waved his hands to the crowd and said, "Thank you all for your concern today, I'll remember this in my heart. Now that the matter has been resolved, everyone please go home."
"Right, let's disperse, everyone go home, it's time to make dinner."
The village officials also began to disperse the crowd.
At that moment, Mo Deqiang walked up to Qin Yanyang and said, "Miss Qin, I will notify you of any follow-up matters as soon as possible."
Qin Yanyang shook her head, "No need for such trouble, I'll know what I need to know. You can go back."
Mo Deqiang felt a chill in his heart, he had understood the implication in Qin Yanyang's words. She was reminding him to take care of things properly, and if there was a lot of noise but little action, and Gong Daqian didn't fall completely, she would still hold him accountable.
"Alright then, I won't disturb Miss Qin any longer, goodbye." Mo Deqiang nodded and took his leave.
Qin Yanyang hummed a response and said thank you.
After Mo Deqiang left, the villagers also went back home in twos and threes.
"Close the courtyard gate," Yang Changjin told his wife.
Li Guiju responded with an "Okay" and went to close the gate.
Huang Dayong had already gotten up from the ground when the police arrived, and now that everyone else had dispersed, he didn't dare to leave, though the people he had brought with him had already left.
Seeing Li Guiju closing the gate, he hurriedly followed her into the yard.
Li Guiju looked back at Yang Changjin, who nodded and said, "Let him in. We still need to discuss the children's wedding."
Huang Dayong quickly nodded, smiling and saying, "Yes, yes, we need to discuss the wedding between Yang Hao and Qiaoqiao."
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly upon hearing this and said to him, "How about we stick to the standard I mentioned earlier?"
Huang Dayong hurriedly shook his head, "No... no, how can that work? Our two families had already agreed, with a dowry of two hundred thousand and a wedding banquet at the end of the year."
Compared to most of the villagers who were the last to understand, Huang Dayong's mind worked much faster.
He had realized that Yang Hao's cousin's wife was remarkable. A single phone call could bring over a big shot powerful enough to make Gong Daqian apologize on his knees and eventually lead to Gong Daqian and his son being taken away.
That's enormous clout.
She had said before that she liked his sister, and now that his sister was marrying Yang Hao, they would become family.
It doesn't matter that Yang Hao's family wasn't much now, but in the future, they were bound to be no less than the Gong Family.
If he could make good use of Yang Hao's sister-in-law's resources, even he could make a name for himself. The latest chapters are uploaded first on M|V|LE3MPYR.
So now that Huang Dayong has broadened his horizons, he no longer cares about the dowry of six hundred and eighty-eight thousand or the second-hand apartment in the county town; he wants a more expansive future and prospects.
The key point is, with the Gong Family going down, it's futile to hope that marrying his sister off to them will be of any use. They can only look to the Yang Family.
Upon hearing Huang Dayong agree to keep everything as before and proceed with the wedding for Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao under the previously discussed terms, the whole family was elated.
Huang Qiaoqiao looked at her big brother and asked, "Brother, are you serious?"
Huang Dayong nodded urgently and patted his chest, saying, "Your brother's word is his bond, when have I ever gone back on my word?"
Huang Qiaoqiao pouted and said, "Then why did you want to drag me back before?"
Huang Dayong jumped, glanced cautiously at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, and noticing their smiles, he broke into a sweat and quickly replied, "That... that was just my mind being clouded, I was confused, Qiaoqiao, please forgive your big brother."
By the end, he even addressed Yang Hao, saying, "Yang Hao, you've been with my sister for a few years now, I've been quite good to you before, haven't I?"
Yang Hao huffed, "You looked down on me, but at least you didn't trouble me too much."
Huang Dayong awkwardly said, "I... I just wanted my sister to have a better life. Anyway, I was wrong, and I apologize."
Seeing his big brother-in-law in such a state, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.
But Yang Changjin couldn't stand watching from the sidelines. He glared at Yang Hao and rebuked, "Dayong was considering his sister's welfare. From his perspective, he did nothing wrong. He's still your big brother-in-law after all, Yang Hao. Speak to him nicely."
Yang Hao touched the back of his head awkwardly after hearing that.
Li Guiju said, "I'm going to cook, Dayong, stay for dinner before you leave."
Huang Dayong, now very eager to ingratiate himself with Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, glanced at them carefully. Seeing no objection from them, he hurriedly said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Qiaoqiao snorted and commented, "What thick skin you have."
Huang Dayong's face reddened with embarrassment; he felt tremendously frustrated, as it seemed his sister was too willing to side with others over her own brother.
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing. Just now, the Gong Family brought so many people, and it scared me to death," said Yang Wen, looking at Qin Yanyang with admiration.
Huang Qiaoqiao also looked at Qin Yanyang with great envy, nodding and saying, "That's right, I was almost in despair. I never expected sister-in-law to be so formidable, even the Gong Family is afraid of you."
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and said, "It was just a coincidence that I knew a friend who has a lot of influence around here. Anyway, the issue has been resolved, and you don't need to worry anymore."
Yang Hao, filled with gratitude, said to Qin Yanyang, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Yang Fei, standing on the side, was not pleased, "Hey, hey, I played a part in this too, right?"
Yang Wen pouted and said, "Big brother, all you did was help in the fight and intimidate Brother Dayong and the rest. But to really take on so many people from the Gong Family, we needed sister-in-law."
Yang Hao nodded in agreement.
Yang Fei, at a loss for words, finally said, "Without me, would you have such an amazing sister-in-law?"
Yang Wen stuck out her tongue and said, "That's true, haha."
Yang Hao nodded and added, "Big brother is amazing, to have found such a beautiful and impressive sister-in-law."
Yang Fei smiled with pride.
Qin Yanyang watched Yang Fei, noticing his smug look, as if he truly regarded her as his wife. A peculiar feeling arose within her.
Although the two of them hadn't taken that step yet, and seemingly hadn't developed much affection, why did everything feel so natural?
Deep down, she realized that she too considered his uncle's family as her own relatives.
Shouldn't love arrive like a tornado, passionate and intense, to the point of life and death?
She looked at Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao and felt that their love seemed more fiery than hers and Yang Fei's.
She envied Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao's kind of love, which threw caution to the wind and rushed toward each other.
But she also savored the relationship with Yang Fei, silent and subtle as a gentle rain, gradually and quietly transforming them both.
With her and Yang Fei's temperaments, a dramatic passion was probably unlikely.
Yet, she was only twenty-four, and as a woman, who wouldn't yearn for that kind of explosive romance?
