Even though Zhao Qingyan was extremely unwilling, she couldn't resist Zhang's "enthusiastic invitation" and was still pulled to the front line.

A large crowd has now gathered in front of the Liu family's house.

Sister Zhang was not one to be trifled with. When she entered the Liu family's courtyard, she didn't immediately unleash the fierce energy she had shown when beating Liu Haoshi. Instead, she started howling.

"Little sister-in-law, my life is so hard. Today I was almost pushed off the car and run over by your good sister-in-law."

Little sister-in-law, where are you? Come out quickly, hurry back to your parents' home with your sister-in-law.

"With such a wicked woman living in your house, I'm afraid you might suffer some terrible fate one day."

The weeping was so mournful that it was as if someone had died and a banner had been hung up.

Hearing the crying, everyone in Liu Jiafan's house came out.

"Oh my, what's going on? What's wrong? Why are you here at someone else's house crying for someone so early in the morning?"

Liu Haoshi's mother-in-law said this with great displeasure.

Zhao Cuie, the head daughter-in-law of the Liu family, was unhappy. She had a good relationship with her sister-in-law before she got married.

Having lived together for so many years, my sister-in-law naturally recognized who it was as soon as she spoke.

She quickly went over to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Who upset you?"

When Sister-in-law Zhang saw her sister-in-law, she immediately stopped crying, grabbed her sister-in-law's hand, and said...

"Auntie, are you alright? How are Thornball and Wildflower doing?"

Have you ever tripped or fallen or been injured for no apparent reason?

Your sister-in-law is truly someone whose face you can't judge a book by its cover.

Today, on the oxcart ride home, just because I wouldn't let her look through my basket, she pushed me off the oxcart as it was moving on.

If it weren't for the third daughter of Master Qianci's family, I might not even be alive now.

So you should quickly check if the two children have any injuries. They might be young and have been attacked.

If it weren't for what happened today, I still wouldn't understand.

How come your two kids, Spiky Ball and Wildflower, are still so soft-boned and always falling down even though they're all grown up?

Maybe it was that silent dog that did it.

If we can't stay in this house anymore, we'll take the kids and go home with my sister-in-law.

"As long as my sister-in-law has something to eat, I can't let you three go hungry."

Zhao Cuie was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information and didn't quite catch her breath. She just stood there, stunned.

In reality, all she could think about at that moment was her child's body covered in bruises from when he was little.

"My mother-in-law said the child fell while walking."

Even now that my child is three or four years old, he still occasionally gets injured from falls.

What's going on here? How much must my mother-in-law dislike me to have dragged my own children down with her?

After much thought, I realized that besides currently holding the power of housekeeping, there's nothing else to it.

But this was the right to manage the household that her parents-in-law voluntarily handed over when she married into the family.

The whole family lives frugally, is it because they feel they're being taken advantage of or dissatisfied with their own management?

My sister-in-law almost lost her life because of this today.

"If my sister-in-law is gone, what will happen to my brother? What will happen to my four nephews and nieces?"

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

When Sister Zhang woke her up, Zhao Cuie's eyes were bloodshot.

The veins on his clenched fist bulged.

My mother-in-law is still nagging and complaining about how Zhang's wife is impolite.

"Shut up!" Zhao Cuie snapped angrily.

"Now I understand. Mother has always been dissatisfied with my management of the household, hasn't she?"

Did I, Zhao Cuie, actively request the management rights of the Liu family?

Did my Zhao family personally propose this marriage in the first place?

Did my father ever refuse your Liu family? You yourselves said you thought highly of me, Zhao Cuie, and that I should be the head of the household after I marry into your family.

Were all those words you said back then just bullshit?

Are your grandchildren your eldest and second sister-in-laws' children? Aren't my children, Ciqiu and Shanhua, your grandchildren?

Many families would give anything for twins, but my mother-in-law's care left me covered in bruises.

If they ask you what happened, just say that the child insisted on falling while walking.

My nephews and nieces all learned to walk on their own from a young age, and I've never seen any of them have so many injuries from falls.

So it was all a scheme and abuse orchestrated by you two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. One side was ruthless, the other side was lying.

Well, your Liu family is really going too far.

I need an explanation for this today, Liu Dagui, where the hell have you been?

Your mother doesn't treat our son and daughter like her own grandchildren, and your sister-in-law is trying to kill my sister-in-law again today.

I can't go on living like this anymore.

"Either separate or stay together, the choice is yours."

Liu Dagui was Zhao Cuie's husband.

Since Zhao Cuie married into the family, the couple's relationship has always been good.

The two had never argued before, and this was the first time he had ever seen his wife so angry.

He had just returned from the fields when he heard his wife say that they should either separate from the family or get a divorce.

I was almost scared out of my wits.

"Wife, what's going on? I didn't do anything wrong, why do you want a divorce?" Liu Dagui said, feeling very wronged.

Aunt Zhang succinctly recounted the events of the day and her previous speculations.

Liu Dagui's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time. In the end, he had to reach out and push his chin up himself.

"Mother, are you really my mother? How can you bear to do this to my son Ciqiu and Shanhua?"

Is there something about me, as your son, that you're unhappy with, or is it that my wife isn't doing a good enough job?

My wife is responsible for arranging all the big and small things at home.

In order to supplement the family income, she worked in the fields during the day and did embroidery at night.

My wife is not even 20 years old this year, but look how overworked she is.

If you can't even appreciate such a good wife, what kind of wife would satisfy you?

Am I not your biological son? Aren't my son and daughter your biological grandchildren? How can you be so heartless?

"Mom, let's separate the family. If we don't, I won't do any more housework. I'll pack my things and go back to my parents' house with my wife."

Liu Dagui's performance pleased Zhao Cuie and Zhang Saozi. However, Liu Qianshi, the mother-in-law, was unhappy.

With snot and tears streaming down his face, he started cursing, accusing his son of being disobedient and unfilial, and his daughter-in-law of being framed and deserved to be struck by lightning.

Zhao Cuie is too lazy to bother with her now.

"Mother-in-law, please stop crying. Since you are so innocent, do you dare to swear an oath?"

If you bully or condone others' abuse of my son and daughter, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.

"Mother, if you dare to swear a solemn oath, I'll believe you this once."

Liu Qianshi nearly choked upon hearing this.

"You, you, you unfilial wretch! This is the greatest act of filial impiety! How dare you curse your own mother-in-law to die! I'm going to make my Da Gui divorce you! Divorce you!"

While Liu Qianshi was still making a scene, all the Liu family members who heard the news returned. At the same time, the Zhao clan also arrived.

Zhao Jinfa spoke up, representing not the village chief, but the Zhao clan patriarch.

"Whom do you want to divorce? What crime did I, Zhao, commit that you want to divorce?"

The Zhao woman has no choice but to either divorce her husband or remain a widow; there is absolutely no possibility of her being divorced.

In fact, Zhao Jinfeng had overheard a bit of it on his way here.

Knowing that it was Liu's eldest daughter-in-law who caused the trouble, he originally intended to come and take sides.

Unexpectedly, before even entering the courtyard, they heard Liu Qianshi shouting and yelling. How could they tolerate this?
