Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!

Chapter 14 Preparations for separation

Chapter 14  Preparations for separation

Doctor Li looked at the door, then at old lady Jiang. Other than the bump on her head, 
she didn't seem to have any issue.
It took a while and the old lady finally reacted. She covered her forehead and started 
to fall back in pain, letting her two sons support her. Even though doctor Li could tell 
that she was putting on an act, he still examined her from head to toe. In the end, she 
just took two doses of anti-swelling medicine and was fine.
When the matter was over, doctor Li explained the current law to Wang Fen before he 
left. It wasn't just the Jiang family's elderly couple who were present, there were also 
other people present.
"Old lady, all the villages and towns have already issued clear instructions that 
marriage can not be bought or sold. To put it bluntly, this is human trafficking. If 
you're reported, you'll be arrested. Not only will you be arrested, but even the village 
chief will have to take responsibility." Doctor Li explained.
"Eh! Doctor Li! It's not as serious as you say. I've found a good family for Jiang Xia, 
that's why I want to marry her off. Doctor Li, you've misunderstood." Wang Fen 
replied.
Doctor Li was sick and tired of the old lady's hypocrisy. He looked at Jiang Xia, then at 
Jiang Gu, and said, "Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu are both 13 and 9 years old respectively. 
They have not reached the legal age for marriage, so the village will not register their 
marriage."
Without waiting for Wang Fen to speak again, he turned around and left.
Seeing that doctor Li had left, Jiang Chuan and his family also sneaked away.
Wang Fen was in a daze from doctor Li's rebuking and didn't react for a long time. 
Why had everything been so bad for the Jiang family since yesterday?
Zhou Lan immediately rolled up Jiang Xia's sleeve upon returning to her room. The 
purplish-green marks made Jiang Xia's petite figure look even more pitiful.
Zhou Lan's eyes were bloodshot. She wished she could go back and give Wang Fen a 
good beating.
Jiang Chuan was also shocked by Jiang Xia's miserable state, and his eyes were filled 
with uncontrollable anger.
"How dare she?" Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words.
Jiang Xia could not help but gasp in pain when Zhou Lan touched her lightly. 
However, she still said, "Dad, I'm fine. With the traces of the old woman's abuse on 
me, it'll be another bargaining chip for us to separate from them. The more things we 
let outsiders see, the faster we will be able to split with them. When we're completely 
separated, we won't have to swallow our anger anymore."
Jiang Chuan nodded in silence. If they really showed all signs of abuse to the other 
villagers, when they eventually split up with the Jiang family, the others will have 
nothing bad to gossip about.
No matter what era it was, the words of others would always crush people. Only when 
you had all the evidence would it be reasonable for them to split the family.
Seeing that her mother was still angry, Jiang Xia gave her a reassuring smile and said, 
"Mom, it's fine. We will get our revenge sooner or later. Look, didn't the old woman 
suffer today? She was at a loss of words!"
At this point, Zhou Lan raised her head and asked, "Xiao Xia, did you do it on purpose 
today? You didn't let me and your father go out, and made us wait for a long time 
before opening the door"
Jiang Xia answered Zhou Lan with a smile, "Yup! I noticed yesterday that our door was 
a little faulty. There were only two screws on the top and bottom. When I heard her 
knocking on the door, I secretly loosened the screw and pushed it. But I only did it 
because the door is thin. If it's thick and the old woman died from it, then there is no 
way we can separate from them."
Jiang Xia had considered all the situations. Jiang Chuan could not help but look 
pleased.
Seeing her daughter's proud expression, Zhou Lan's expression also relaxed a little. 
She smiled and said, "My daughter is amazing. By the way, Xiao Xia, were you the one 
that got Doctor Li here too?"
"Yes, we needed someone convincing to be the witness. We needed to ensure that the 
old lady is fine so that she won't slander us in the future." Jiang Xia said. Jiang Xia had 
also asked Xiao Gu to leave the door open when she went to find the doctor so that 
passersby or curious onlookers could take a good look. The more people there were 
to testify that their family had been abused, the better.
"That's right, mother, where's Xiao Gu?"
Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan only noticed that Xiao Gu didn't come back with them 
after Jiang Xia mentioned it. The three of them couldn't be blamed for this. After all, 
they had just transmigrated yesterday and were still not familiar with this new 
daughter.
