Zhang was so frightened that she trembled, and fear flashed in her eyes. She also knew that this trip would definitely not be easy, but she still came with a thick face.
"Get out, our Xia family has nothing to do with you anymore!"
"Third brother, fourth brother, throw this shameless woman out, and don't let her dirty our land!" Old Mrs. Xia said fiercely.
Xia Zhiliao looked at her. When Old Lady Xia's eyes touched her granddaughter, she calmed down and said, "Second son's family, take the child back. Zhiliao, be good. Grandma is not against you."
[Grandma is so nice to me, of course I know she's not targeting me, but grandma, can you please not let me go? I also want to watch the show, and if she's playing any tricks, I can help you expose them! ]
Xia Zhiliao climbed onto the kang with a smile and sat next to Old Lady Xia, showing no intention of leaving.
"Be good, come back to the house with me!"
Xia Zhiliao shook her head. She wanted to watch a show.
Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "Okay, if she doesn't want to leave, let her sit."
Xia Chen was stunned. Her mother-in-law was so easy to talk to.
At this time, Zhang had pushed Xia Jinxiu aside and entered the old lady's room. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down with a plop. Her snot and tears were mixed together. She cried so sadly and called for her mother.
[She was crying like that, if you didn’t know, you would think something was wrong with grandma? ]
"What bad luck! Why are you howling for? Are you cursing me until I die without even hiding from people?" Old Madam Xia was so angry that she didn't ask Zhang to get up. Her legs were on her body, so she could kneel if she wanted to.
"Mom, let me see, what's wrong with your leg? Does it hurt? How can I feel at ease when you're like this? I'd better come back and serve you!"
[Are you trying to get the title deed again? ]
Xia Zhiliao glared at Zhang.
"You want to cheat me of my land deed again? I tell you, it's impossible. You have nothing to do with our family anymore. I don't need you to serve me."
"Mom, please don't say such angry words. Don't you love me the most? Although the eldest brother is gone, I am his wife and I have to be filial to him!"
Xia Zhiliao stuck out her tongue, [It's the same thing over and over again. My uncle is a good man, but he's gone just like that. That man was also there at the time, right? Is there something hidden?]
Naturally, the novel did not explain an unimportant person. Xia Zhiliao was just thinking about it casually, like how her vocal cords were damaged. The original body did not have this in his memory, but she knew that things were not that simple.
Xia Zhiliao's words served as a reminder to the Xia family members present.
Xia Jinxiu, who was always protective of her brother, was immediately furious when she thought of her brother's kindness and honesty. "How dare you mention my brother? Your adulterer was there when my brother died, wasn't he? What happened at that time?"
Zhang shuddered all over, and with just one glance, Xia Zhiliao was sure that her guess was very likely true.
[She feels guilty, grandma. Look, she feels guilty. Uncle’s death must have something to do with them.]
Not only Old Lady Xia, but everyone else glared at Zhang hatefully after hearing this.
Zhang was getting more and more unsure. "Mother... Jinhua and I are husband and wife, how could I harm him? How could I... how could you say that? I... I've already said that I was forced by Hu Erping. I didn't obey, so he beat me. Woo, he asked me to cheat on the land deed, how could I let the Xia family down? Mother, you see, he beat me."
As she spoke, Zhang rolled up her sleeves, revealing shocking scars that made people sigh.
Seeing this, Zhang took advantage of the situation and took Mrs. Xia's hand, "Mom, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I just want to be your daughter-in-law and be filial to you. Please let me come back."
[Grandma is so smart, she will definitely not be fooled by your self-torture trick. That would make her a fool! ]
Old Mrs. Xia cleared her throat. She was not a fool.
"If you leave our Xia family, we will have no relationship. Whether you live or die is your business."
"Mother!" Zhang knelt down again and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please give me a way out. We have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years. Hu Erping is a beast. If you don't let me stay, he might beat me to death tomorrow."
Zhang was in tears and deliberately exposed the wounds on her body and legs, for she was sure that Old Lady Xia would be soft-hearted.
[If I had known this earlier, why would I have done this in the first place? Besides, the reason for my uncle's death has not been explained yet! ]
"Don't cry in my house. Where is your own home?" Xia Jinxiu looked at her with disdain.
"You usually bring things home, why don't they care about you now?"
Thinking of her mother's family, Zhang cried even more sadly. Her mother's family had given the Xia family five taels of silver because she left the Xia family, and now they were asking Hu Erping to give them another five taels of silver.
Originally, Hu Erping beat and scolded her all day long because of the money he gave her. She suffered more in those few days than she had in the past thirty years of her life.
"Mother, please, second brother, second sister-in-law, younger aunt, third brother, fourth brother, please don't give lip service to the monk, but think about your eldest brother. If he were alive, he would be the most caring person. How could he bear to let me suffer like this?"
"Bah, do you have a guilty conscience? You still have the nerve to mention my elder brother. When my elder brother was alive, I never saw you getting up early to make a hot meal for him. Now, you talk about him all day long. I tell you, you know whether my elder brother's death has anything to do with you. Don't even think about entering our Xia family again."
Old Madam Xia glanced at her coldly, gritted her teeth, and said in a cold voice: "You'd better have nothing to do with Jinhua's death, otherwise... I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons even if I go to hell."
Zhang swallowed her saliva, frightened by the old lady's fierce look.
"Second brother, you are a scholar, and your reputation is important. If people knew that you sold your widowed sister-in-law, it would not sound good."
Seeing that it was useless to try hard on the old lady, Zhang set her sights on Xia Jinjun's army. Having lived in the same family for more than ten years, she knew Xia Jinjun's temper very well.
[Dad, don't be afraid of her. We have the written agreement they signed. The words in black and white are stamped with fingerprints. Besides, everyone outside knows that grandma is kind and righteous, and she let her remarry. Now she bites back, let's see who everyone will side with.]
Xia Jinjun was a little panicked just now, but after listening to his daughter's analysis, he felt that it made sense, "Zhang, everyone in the village saw you leaving our Xia family, you were so happy. You were unwilling, so shouldn't you cry? Everyone knows that my mother is kind-hearted and doesn't treat widows harshly. She generously let you remarry. You're making a scene at this time. Who should believe you or us?"
Zhang swallowed her saliva. She felt that everyone in the Xia family seemed to have changed in just a few days.
"Do you need me to show you the document you signed that day? Our Xia family did not punish our daughter-in-law who cheated on her husband. Instead, we openly let her remarry. How broad-minded is that? Are you sure it will embarrass me?"
Xia Jinjun stared coldly at the woman slumped on the ground and said.
