Chapter 3 Your father and brothers will seek justice for you.
Seeing this, Zhang, who was looking out from the main room, felt extremely distressed.
She had been suffering from a severe headache lately, and despite the pain, she came out and gently patted Qin's hand.
“Mother, your daughter is useless… After Su Chang’an was made a marquis, he despised your daughter for being useless and childless. He divorced you with a letter and made you step down. They don’t even want their precious child anymore.”
Qin was in great pain and knelt down in front of Zhang.
She is a useless daughter who has never been filial to her parents in the years since she was married. Now that she has been divorced and returned home, she is only causing trouble for her parents. She has brought shame upon them.
Zhang had only this one son and one daughter, both of whom were the apple of her eye. Immediately, her nose tingled and her eyes reddened. She helped Qin up, saying, "Silly girl, get up quickly."
"Even if your father is not the best, he is still a scholar. There is no reason for our family to let him bully you for no reason. Don't be afraid, we will not let you suffer any injustice."
Zhang felt sorry for herself; she had misjudged him.
Su Chang'an was tall and strong, and he came to propose marriage in a timid manner, which seemed reliable. However, after he joined the army and rose to prominence, the first thing he did was to abandon his wife and daughter who had shared his hardships.
There's no such logic in the world, that my own daughter has been so badly bullied.
"Dad, Mom, little sister, I've set out the food. We can talk after we eat. Little sister and Su Bao must be hungry."
Zhao knew that something big had happened to her sister-in-law. After entering the house, she went to the kitchen to set the table and then called everyone to eat.
The Qin family treated her well, and she wasn't the kind of person who was never satisfied.
A woman's marriage is like being reborn; no one can say for sure whether she will encounter a human or a demon.
With reasonable in-laws and a gentle, understanding husband, they will resolve the matter.
"Eat first, don't let the child go hungry. We can talk about it in detail after the meal."
Qin Tianhai spoke seriously.
His daughter suffered such injustice, and he knew she deserved justice, even if she didn't. He would demand what he was owed.
Zhang pulled Qin aside, nodding to her with tears in her eyes, saying that eating was the priority.
Su Dai nestled obediently on Qin Yulin's shoulder, surveying the house around her.
It wasn't a grand house, but it was much better than the old Su family home. My mother's house was always better than my scumbag father's.
A clean and tidy home indicates good fortune. If the family wants to be wealthy, they need to meet a benefactor. Even if they don't meet a benefactor, they will still live a peaceful life.
She's lucky to meet helpful people; she's a prime example.
Blessing her maternal grandfather's family would make things much easier. If they continue to treat her mother well, then she will bless them. But if they change their minds one day, then she will no longer bless them.
By then, she will have grown up and will be able to protect her mother on her own.
The meal consisted of the usual radish and eggplant stew.
"Su Bao, is your aunt feeding you?"
Zhao smiled gently at Su Dai. Su Dai was very thin, but she had very beautiful features. She had big eyes and long eyelashes that blinked and were more dazzling than stars. She was also fair-skinned.
Zhao had no children, which she cherished deeply.
Su Dai shook her head and said obediently, "Thank you, Aunt. I'm a big girl now. I can eat by myself. Aunt, please don't feed me. It tastes better when we all eat together."
Su Dai stopped needing to be fed after she learned to use a spoon.
“Sister-in-law, my baby has been eating by herself since she was little, there’s no need to feed her.”
Qin smiled at Zhao and said that her precious child was the most sensible.
Unlike Su Changsheng and Su Changshui's children, who were still being chased around and fed even when their children were three or four years old, and who often threw tantrums and overturned bowls and chopsticks because their families were well-off, making her frown.
Compared to them, my precious daughter is like a fairy.
But even her father didn't want such a well-behaved child, and Qin's heart ached again at the thought.
"Su Bao is such a good girl."
Zhao sighed with a hint of envy.
The meal was very quiet, and Su Dai ate slowly.
After finishing their meal, Qin Tianhai and Zhang Shi pulled Qin Shi back to the main room. Zhao Shi came to clear the dishes, and she pushed Qin Yulin out, saying, "My little sister has been wronged. How can you, as her brother, not be there? Go ahead, I'll clean up here."
Zhao was sensible; she knew Qin Yulin was worried about his sister, but she was also mindful of her feelings.
To be honest, this family is incredibly good. The parents-in-law don't care about establishing their authority or the idea that men shouldn't go into the kitchen.
The better they were, the more Zhang cherished them.
"Lan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Yulin looked at Zhao Shi gently, his gaze tender as water. After speaking, he turned and left.
He needs to know how that family treats his sister in order to come up with a solution.
Madam Zhao smiled gently and began to tidy up.
Inside the main house.
Qin recounted the process in detail, her eyes reddening.
Su Dai reached out to wipe away Qin's tears.
Zhang also covered her face and wiped away her tears. She sobbed, "When we were arranging the marriage, they made all sorts of promises, but after only a few years of good life, they turned their backs on us. It's only been ten years since we went hungry. How cruel they are! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have lent them those twenty catties of grain back then."
The Su family's ancestral home was in the next village. Back then, the Su family had a poor harvest and had to borrow from everyone they knew. She was kind-hearted and lent them twenty catties. Everyone was struggling that year, and she had managed to spare some for them.
Knowing that her kindness back then would be met with such treatment of her daughter, Zhang would never lend the money, even if it meant her death.
"You can't see into someone's heart. Let's not talk about the past. Now we need to do two things."
Qin Tianhai spoke with a serious expression, his gaze fixed on Qin Yulin.
“You’re the eldest brother. Your sister has been bullied, so you should stand up for her. The Su family is in the right and no one can find fault with them. So let’s follow the rules. Tomorrow, take a carrying pole and beat up Su Chang’an. Our family isn’t one to be a freeloader. You’re just as strong as Su Chang’an.”
“He, Su Chang’an, has no martial arts skills. It’s just that his ancestors were blessed to make him the Marquis of Anping. Tomorrow, let’s eat our fill, invite the drum and gong team, and we’ll beat him up openly and honestly.”
Qin Tianhai looked at Qin Yulin seriously and asked, "Do you dare to go, kid?"
Su Chang'an is now, after all, the Marquis of Anping.
Without a second thought, Qin Yulin said, "What's there to be afraid of? Even if Father hadn't said it, this is what I thought."
He wished he could beat Su Chang'an up right now.
He was never afraid of Marquis Anping or King Anping.
Any man with backbone would have stood up for his sister in this situation. Even if he couldn't win, he would have wanted to show everyone that the Qin family wasn't spineless.
"The second thing is to divide the family property. The Su family has become wealthy in recent years. Since the family has not divided the property, then everything in the family belongs to Yuwan. We don't want anything more, but we must take every penny that is rightfully ours. I will draft a petition for this matter. If they don't agree, we will sue."
Qin Tianhai remained calm, clearly having made a plan.
No matter how things unfold, he wouldn't let his daughter be wronged like that.
Although his daughter was not from a wealthy or prestigious family, he had carefully taught her from a young age. Many girls from poor families were illiterate, but his daughter, Qin Yuwan, could read and do arithmetic. The reason the Su family sought to marry her was precisely because of this.
