At this time, Zhang didn't dare to wake up Xia Chen in the middle of the night and ask her why she didn't keep her promise.
In the Xia family, Xia Chen is the only person who is easy to talk to and whom she can order around. If they fall out again, there will be no hope for her to return to the Xia family.
The wind was cold and Zhang couldn't sleep. When people can't sleep, they start to have wild thoughts. She felt more and more that as long as Hu Erping was not dead, she would not be able to escape his clutches.
But killing someone is not that easy. Besides, she is unarmed and there is no way she can beat Hu Erping. If she really could beat him, would she have waited until today?
There is only one solution left...
Xia Chen slept very uncomfortably. After all, it was the first time that she had plotted against others in this way. She turned over and saw her daughter snoring softly. She tucked her daughter in first.
"Don't think about it. Zhang deserves it." Xia Jinjun's voice was sleepy and he stretched out his arms to hug the woman.
Xia Chen moved closer to the man's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and she really fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Zhang was awakened by the sound of clanging in the yard just as she was taking a nap because she was so sleepy. She took a breath and felt her whole body was frozen, and she retracted her subconscious complaints.
After breakfast, the people of the Xia family went about their own business, some going out and some going into the mountains.
When Zhang saw Xia Chen, she looked at her deeply.
Xia Chen said as she had been taught, "Oh, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I forgot about it until I saw you. I promised to bring you a quilt last night, but as soon as I entered the room, I forgot about it because of the heat. Did you get cold last night?"
If Zhang didn't know Xia Chen's personality, she would really think she was showing off.
After all, one of them lived in a warm house, and the other lived in a drafty woodshed.
But Xia Chen would never mock others, she would only be mocked and despised by others.
"No...no...A-choo...A...A-choo!" Zhang wiped her nose with her sleeve. She still felt she hadn't recovered from eating some porridge.
Xia Chen was cleaning up the dishes when they were snatched away by Zhang.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing..."
"Let me do it, let me do it. Your hands are not meant for such rough work!" Zhang glanced at Xia Chen's paws. The frostbite was almost gone. She was really living a good life.
"How can that be so embarrassing!"
"It doesn't matter. You're nice to me, so it's only right that I work for you."
Xia Zhiliao on the side sneered.
[You're still working for my mother? It's only right that I let you work for free. ]
Xia Chen remained calm, but she had no intention of arguing with Zhang anymore. Instead, she waved to her daughter, "Zhi Liao, let's go back to the house. It's too cold outside."
Xia Zhiliao laughed after hearing this.
[My mother has grown up and is now very annoying! ]
After Xia Chen turned around, she pursed her lips, smiling like a child with a little joy as if she had done something bad.
It turns out that it feels so good to be a bad guy without thinking about others!
As for Zhang, she stood there coldly, holding the dirty bowls used by the family for meals.
Is she really not going to wash the dishes?
She also knows that the house is warm and the kitchen is cold?
She shouldn't talk too much!
Zhang really wanted to slap herself, but was afraid of the pain.
Nearing noon, Zhang could already smell the fragrance of food.
She really discovered that Xia Jinxiu, this girl with a rich body but a maid's life, was really different.
The dishes are so delicious!
She came out of the woodshed and was about to go to the kitchen to get some food. She had made up her mind that as long as she was thick-skinned enough, she wouldn't care what Xia Jinxiu said.
But just by chance, as soon as she left the house, Hu Erping stormed into the Xia family's yard and yelled at her, "You stinky woman, you're here again! I told you that you and the Xia family were working together to extort money from me!"
Zhang wanted to hide, but the Xia family had a very small yard, and Xia Jinxiu closed the kitchen door and waited with a shovel in hand to watch the show.
If Hu Erping dared to fight with her, she would hit him with a shovel, otherwise she would just watch.
[Here we go, Uncle Four is really efficient! ]
Xia Zhiliao moved from the kang to the window, then opened a crack and looked out from inside.
[Ah, a slap in the face, hit harder, the harder the better. ]
[Tickle him, yes, that's fun, you can't just get beaten! ]
Xia Chen originally thought that it was none of her business, but the little girl's words made her want to take a look.
Zhang wanted to fight back, but there was a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and she was covered in wounds. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and soon she was left with nothing but beatings and screaming.
Old Mrs. Xia was naturally as calm as a rock. Why would she worry about someone beating her own daughter-in-law?
"You stinky bitch, I let you cheat me out of my money. Now I'm being chased for debts. It's all your fault. I can't survive, so you can forget about it!"
Hu Erping was venting his anger while punching and kicking Zhang. "You dare to run? I told you to run. I told you to run. I'm your man. You have to do whatever I tell you to do. Disobedient women must be beaten!"
Soon Zhang was unrecognizable again. She was beaten so badly that even her parents could not recognize her. "Mom... Mom, save me, I'm going to die!"
Old Mrs. Xia stretched her arms, shook her neck, and hesitated for a while before she got down to put on her shoes and walked out slowly.
Just then, Xia Zhiliao came out with her mother. The grandparents looked at each other and both smiled.
Old Lady Xia stretched out her hand to Xia Zhiliao and said, "Come on, go see grandma. Why are you howling like that?"
Xia Zhiliao ran over quickly.
[My grandma is really good at playing dumb. How could she not know what the noise was about with such a loud noise?]
Old Mrs. Xia smiled and glanced at her granddaughter who was like a little fox. She hoped that she could really avenge her eldest brother this time.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you fighting? You two should talk it out nicely." Old Mrs. Xia played the role of a warm-hearted old lady, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
Hu Erping became even angrier when he saw Old Mrs. Xia, or to be more exact, he saw that all the Xia family members were angry.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my poor child, does it hurt? Please let go, your hair is about to be pulled out!" Old Mrs. Xia looked very distressed.
Hu Erping became even angrier. Not only did he not reduce the strength in his hands, he used even more force and tore off a piece of Zhang's scalp.
"Old woman, you two are teaming up to cheat me out of my money, right?"
[Not only will I cheat you out of your money, I will also ask you to pay for my uncle's life! ]
Xia Zhiliao glared at the man coldly.
[We just want to be nice to bad women and deliberately make you angry. The harder you hit her, the more she wants to kill you. When you two fight each other, the truth will come out.]
A gleam of light flashed across Old Mrs. Xia's eyes. She had to listen to her granddaughter and pretend to be nice to Zhang.
"If you dislike her, then leave her with me. Our family doesn't need an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. What are you doing?" Old Mrs. Xia said with a sigh.
Then, he tilted his head to look at his little granddaughter, as if asking, look, have I been good enough to her?
