Zhou Zhichuan agreed to it naturally. Since they decided to become a real couple, they could no longer sleep in separate beds like before.
Han Li lay aside and gave him half of the quilt. Zhou Zhichuan got on the bed and lifted the quilt to sleep. They couldn't sleep together because Han Li's waist hadn't healed yet. They both closed their eyes and slept in tacit understanding.
After the wedding, Han's father and mother took a car back to their home to wait for their daughter and son-in-law to return. Three days later, Zhou Zhichuan brought Han Li back.
Han's father brought out good wine and delicious food to entertain Zhou Zhichuan. It was the first time that Zhou Zhichuan met his elder brother-in-law. He was tall and thin, with a side part in his hair, his shoulders hunched, and he looked listless. He lowered his head and sat beside him without saying a word.
Zhang Xiujuan sat aside holding her son, and asked Han Li with a smile,
"Han Li, how much dowry did your parents-in-law give you?"
Han Li ate some melon seeds and rolled her eyes at her. "The amount of the betrothal gift is my business. What does it have to do with you?"
Zhang Xiujuan pressed on, "Aren't you going to leave the betrothal gifts for your parents? Are you taking all of them?"
Han Li sneered, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Are you planning to take my betrothal gift?"
Zhang Xiujuan said disdainfully: "I don't care about your betrothal gift. I just want to say, if you don't leave some for your parents, they raised you for nothing!"
Han's mother chimed in, "We don't want her betrothal gift, she can just take her own money."
Zhang Xiujuan looked very unhappy and snorted from her nose.
"Mom, since you're so generous, Xiaobao's school needs tuition, so please pay it!"
Han Li mocked her, "You can use your own money to take care of your own son. What does it have to do with me? If you don't have money, don't go to school!"
Zhang Xiujuan said sarcastically,
"Why should I pay? My child's last name is Han, so as grandparents, they should pay! The child's grandparents and aunt all have money, but they refuse to give it to my son to go to school! My poor son, it's so unlucky to be born in the Han family!"
Han Li's face flushed with anger, and she stood up suddenly. "Zhang Xiujuan, you are deliberately provoking me! Are you looking for trouble?"
"I just let the child's grandparents take the money. This is only natural!" Zhang Xiujuan turned her head and pulled Han Liang.
"Han Liang! Look at your sister, what is she trying to do? Ah! She wants to hit me! You don't care!"
Han Liang looked at Han Li with a timid look in his eyes, "Lili, stop making trouble and apologize to your sister-in-law!"
Han Li clenched her fists until they creaked, and glared at Han Liang fiercely.
"I'm not wrong! I'm not apologizing!"
Han Liang was frightened by his sister's fierce eyes, lowered his head and dared not persuade her anymore.
Zhang Xiujuan hugged her son and cried, "You Han family bullied me! I want to take my son back to my mother's home!"
Mother Zhou stepped forward and grabbed her grandson, holding him tightly in her arms.
"Zhang Xiujuan! If you want to leave, just leave on your own. Don't always threaten me with my grandson! Even if I go to your mother's house, I have my reasons. You made such a fuss today just to get Lili's betrothal gift. I'm telling you! Impossible! You're setting your sights on your sister-in-law's betrothal gift. How dare you! I want to ask your mother how she raised her daughter to be so shameless!"
Zhang Xiujuan was exposed by her mother-in-law and became angry and slapped Han Liang in the face as usual. Han Liang did not dare to raise his head.
"Han Liang! You coward, you watched your wife being bullied and did nothing?"
This time, Han's father, Han's mother and Han Li were all furious. Han Li stepped forward and pushed Zhang Xiujuan away.
"Zhang Xiujuan! What are you doing? You hit my brother in front of my parents. Do you really think we have no one in our family?"
Zhang Xiujuan was pushed away by her and raised her hands angrily to hit someone.
Zhou Zhichuan stood up with a sullen face and held Han Li in his arms. Zhang Xiujuan took a few steps back in fear. Han's father stared at his daughter-in-law who was causing trouble with dark eyes, and clenched the wine glass tightly in his hand.
"Han Liang! Send your wife back to her parents' home. Our Han family can't afford a daughter-in-law like her!"
Zhang Xiujuan looked at her father-in-law in shock. Although she talked about going back to her parents' home every day, it was just a scare tactic. Her parents' home had a brother and sister-in-law, and there was no way they could accommodate her.
Zhang Xiujuan looked at Han Liang, hoping that he could refuse his father-in-law's words. Unfortunately, Han Liang did not dare to resist. Han Liang's cowardly character was not because of Zhang Xiujuan, but because of his father. His father had been very strict with him since he was a child, and he always kept his word. When he was a child, he was beaten and scolded by his father because he was naughty and did not study well. Until now, when he sees his father, he will cover his head and shiver reflexively. He never dares to resist what his father says.
His sister was also very strong and better than him. She always got the first place in the exams. His parents favored his sister. No one in the family would ever listen to his voice. Over time, his character became very cowardly. Even his marriage to Zhang Xiujuan was decided by his parents. Zhang Xiujuan did not dare to hit him at first. It was his cowardice that fostered her temper. She became more and more presumptuous towards him and beat and scolded him in the bedroom at every turn. This was the first time she beat him in front of her parents, which completely angered the Han family.
Han Liang had wanted to divorce Zhang Xiujuan for a long time. Zhang Xiujuan often beat and scolded him. He was used to being beaten by his father since he was a child and did not dare to tell his parents.
Han Liang grabbed Zhang Xiujuan's hand and walked out. Zhang Xiujuan screamed.
"I won't leave! Let me go! Han Liang! Let me go!"
The grandson in Zhou's mother's arms was also crying loudly, and Zhou's mother held him and hid in the house.
At the door, Zhang Xiujuan pried onto the door with both hands, begging Han Liang,
"Han Liang, I was wrong! I won't hit you again! Never again! Please don't let me go back!"
Han Liang lowered his head and said nothing. Thinking of the humiliation Zhang Xiujuan had given him in the past, his fists clenched tightly and his eyes turned red.
Father Han heard the hidden meaning and walked over in surprise, his face gloomy.
