Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Capturing the Son-in-Law

"Stinker, where do you think you’re running to?"

Zheng Hongqi’s footsteps ground to a halt, and then he took off running.

Zheng Wenjun chased after him, while his son ran ahead joyfully.

Just as he was about to escape and gain complete freedom, he slammed right into someone’s arms.

"Ouch!"

Tang Jianbing collided with Zheng Hongqi, with Zheng Daqing standing beside them, eyes wide.

Zheng Wenjun took advantage of the situation to catch up and grabbed his eldest son’s ear.

"What are you running for?"

Zheng Hongqi was utterly frustrated.

"Dad, what do you think?"

By the looks of his dad just now, one would think he was plotting to murder his own son.

Zheng Wenjun was even angrier, dragging his son back into the house, and with a kick to the back of Zheng Hongqi’s knees, made him kneel with a thud.

Zheng Hongqi dared not resist, knowing this was inevitable.

Grandma watched them, sipping her tea with a cold laugh, "When I discipline you, you go and discipline your son, right?"

Zheng Wenjun shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"Mom, please, how can you compare the two? This rotten kid is absolutely ludicrous—he’s actually getting divorced!"

Grandma slammed her hand on the table, "What’s wrong with getting a divorce? That woman isn’t fit for family life; she doesn’t care for the kids and just wants to run away. It’s better they get divorced. If she ran away without a divorce, whose family’s reputation would suffer?"

Zheng Hongqi nodded vigorously.

"Grandma is right!"

Zheng Wenjun was speechless.

"Mom, that’s not the point. It’s all because this boy has been messing around, that’s why his wife couldn’t stand it!"

He glared at his son.

Zheng Hongqi defended himself, "Dad, that’s not fair. At most, I appreciate. Besides, I’m in the drama club; isn’t it normal to interact with people? Our actions are based on emotions but bounded by propriety! Nothing happened!"

Grandma yelled, "Shut up, will you? Is that even something you should say?"

Zheng Hongqi didn’t dare to lie anymore.

Grandma turned to Tang Jianbing, "How did you end up here?"

Tang Jianbing explained that he came looking for Tang Chuxia and learned that she had gone home, so he hurriedly left, not sticking around to watch the commotion.

The commotion at the Zheng Family sometimes involved others, and Tang Jianbing was wise to that.

By the time he got home, Tang Chuxia was still nowhere to be seen.

"Xiaxia went to find Zhizhi!"

The elder sister-in-law, sewing clothes for the children, heard her brother-in-law’s question and pointed toward the Gu Family’s house.

Tang Jianbing acknowledged with an "Oh" and, instead of hurrying to find her, went to take a shower.

After a long day of work, he felt particularly grimy.

He expected Tang Chuxia would return soon, but after finishing his shower and seeing she wasn’t back yet, he decided to go to the Gu Family’s house to find her.

He hadn’t even stepped out of his front door when he saw Zheng Daqing run inside, breathless.

"Cousin, something bad has happened!"

Zheng Daqing had been home witnessing his older brother getting disciplined by Grandma when a message arrived that Zheng Duoqing had run into trouble.

The messengers had specifically asked for Tang Chuxia, but the uncles didn’t want to inform her. It was Zheng Daqing who thought of Tang Chuxia’s cleverness and that she might have a solution, so he secretly came over.

Tang Chuxia learned that Zheng Duoqing had been detained by someone while he was out purchasing peanuts.

"I’ll come with you!"

Tang Jianbing was anxious and grabbed Zheng Daqing to leave.

"Cousin, we should find our cousin sister first!"

He trusted Tang Chuxia, not Tang Jianbing.

Tang Jianbing, thinking that his second brother wasn’t home and that he might not be able to handle the situation himself, remembered that the Gu Family had Beihuai too.

They ran to the Gu Family’s house, and sure enough, Tang Chuxia was there, chatting with Beihuai and Haipeng.

When Tang Chuxia heard about Zheng Duoqing’s trouble, she was determined to go and help.

"We’re going too!"

Wu Haipeng was eager to show off, so of course, he had to follow along.

Dangdang grabbed his arm.

You wouldn’t know it from just one date, but their relationship had made significant progress.

Wu Haipeng patted Dangdang’s head, "Trust me, there’s definitely nothing wrong!"

Dangdang was still very worried.

Gu Beihuai couldn’t stand by and watch, "Haipeng, you stay here with Dangdang!"

Wu Haipeng immediately became awkward; he quickly tried to explain to Dangdang.

Dangdang wasn’t the kind of girl who was unreasonable; she whispered to him, "Be safe!"

Wu Haipeng grinned foolishly, indicating he surely would.

The group borrowed a car and hurried to the village where Zheng Duoqing had gone to make purchases.

It wasn’t until they arrived that they understood why Zheng Duoqing had been detained; the guy was foul-mouthed.

"Serves him right, we shouldn’t have come!"

Tang Jianbing was speechless, not at all wanting to rescue that foul-mouthed guy who had been captured!

Tang Chuxia found it both sad and funny.

It turned out that Zheng Duoqing had crossed the line when talking to a young woman in the village, and she told her family that Zheng Duoqing wanted to marry her.

This, of course, stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Her family detained Zheng Duoqing and demanded he go through with the wedding before leaving.

It was somewhat like being forced into marriage.

The girl’s parents sent a message to the Zheng Family, also inviting them to attend the wedding.

"Are we staying to join the wedding banquet?"

Zheng Daqing looked blankly at Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia pinched her fingers together, her smile radiant, "It’s not out of the question!"

Gu Beihuai looked at these few people speechlessly; not one of them was reliable.

It was Wu Haipeng who remarked, "If he really gets married, won’t his reputation as a ’son-in-law’ be stuck with him for life?"

They could enjoy the spectacle, but if their grandmother found out they watched and didn’t rescue Zheng Duoqing, she would beat every one of them.

For their own safety, they couldn’t just sit idly by.

But they couldn’t be too direct at this moment either.

"Let’s wait for now, we’ll make a move after dark."

It was Tang Chuxia who made the decision.

They settled down as the Zheng Family, and the girl’s side was quite enthusiastic.

Despite having only half a day to prepare, they had managed to rustle up a full table of dishes.

Tang Chuxia and her companions stood out with their good looks and clean, tidy clothes, different from the villagers, so no one dared to speak harshly to them; some even sought out their company.

When they were almost full, Zheng Duoqing was pressed to pay respects at the altar with the young woman.

If they actually paid their respects at the altar, the situation would escalate.

Tang Chuxia tugged on Gu Beihuai’s sleeve.

"Should we cause a disturbance?"

Gu Beihuai looked at her face, especially the cunning in her eyes, and knew she was up to mischief.

Sure enough, as he nodded, he saw Tang Chuxia’s fingertip on his sleeve move slightly, and then many people began to groan.

Shortly after, a number of people started shouting at each other, and the scene descended into chaos.

Tang Chuxia took hold of Gu Beihuai’s hand.

The moment they touched, Gu Beihuai became somewhat stiff but quickly grasped her hand.

"Cover me!"

Tang Chuxia said just that before Gu Beihuai pulled her to his side, standing up and shielding her in front of him.

Only Tang Jianbing noticed this scene.

He couldn’t help but observe his sister with Gu Beihuai, fearing that Gu Beihuai might take the opportunity for revenge.

But what he didn’t expect was for Gu Beihuai’s hands to actually grasp his sister’s waist.
