Fortunately, the Wu Family wasn’t far away.
"Yanyun, hurry back with me! Don’t make mom angry, or I’ll beat you up!" Wu Qiang waved his fist at Wu Yanyun.
But before his hand reached Wu Yanyun, his knee was suddenly wracked with intense pain, and in an instant, Wu Qiang was kneeling on the ground.
Wu’s mother’s face paled, "You, how could you hit someone! Qiangzi, are you okay? Do you have no regard for the law? I’m telling you, I’m going to call the police!"
Ni Yang smiled faintly, "You can kidnap someone in broad daylight, so why can’t I hit someone? Besides, the person who swung first was your son. Legally, this is self-defense."
"How is it kidnapping? Wu Yanyun is our daughter-in-law who we paid three thousand yuan to marry! The kidnapper is you!" Wu’s mother pulled out the agreement from her pocket, "Do you see this? It’s clearly written in black and white on this agreement!"
Just then, Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju rushed over from behind.
Yan Erju said, "We didn’t take her dowry money, not a single cent! We don’t sell our daughter!"
Wu’s mother’s complexion turned white again, furious, "From what you’re saying, you want to deny the debt? Don’t think just because you have someone backing you that you can deny the debt!"
Ni Yang spoke calmly, "Don’t rush to anger. I’m a reasonable person. As I know, the person who took this money isn’t Aunt and Uncle, right?"
"The person who took the dowry money is me!" Suddenly, an elderly voice sounded from behind.
Wu’s grandmother and Wu Jinjin squeezed through the crowd, "Who is this little girl meddling in our family’s business!"
Wu Jinjin quickly laughed it off, "In-law mother, don’t be angry, we don’t know this little girl!"
Hearing that Ni Yang was unrelated to the Wu Family, Wu’s mother breathed a sigh of relief.
An outsider wanting to stand up for Wu Yanyun?
Difficult!
From what Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong said earlier, Ni Yang guessed that they must be Wu Yanyun’s aunt and grandmother.
Who knew these two were such characters, selling off Yanyun and yet acting so righteous.
Ni Yang nodded slightly, "Oh, so it’s you who took the money. Then the person who put their fingerprint on it is also you?"
"Of course, it’s me!" Wu’s grandmother said, "I’m Yanyun’s grandmother; traditionally, a marriage is arranged by parents. Whomever I decide she should marry, she will!"
Ni Yang smiled, "So you know about parental commands and arranged marriages. Have you forgotten your role?"
Wu’s grandmother choked and retorted, "Who is this little girl? Our Wu family affairs are none of your business!"
Ni Yang turned her gaze to Wu’s grandmother, "Not long ago, I just recognized your brother and sister-in-law as my godparents. As her sister, shouldn’t I intervene when Yanyun is treated this way?"
Her tone was calm yet carried an indescribable force that made Wu’s grandmother shiver inwardly.
Wu Yanyun looked at Ni Yang in surprise, tears suddenly appearing.
This feeling of having someone to rely on...
It was indescribable in words.
Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju were also surprised, but beyond the surprise, they felt grateful.
Blessed by heaven!
