These words infuriated Huang Shi. "Huang Shan, are you saying you want your wife but not your parents?"
“No,” Huang Shan explained, “Dad, let’s keep things separate. I know my wife is wrong, but we can’t condemn her outright.”
"You know? You know nothing!" Huang Shi listed all the wrong things his daughter-in-law had done. "I won't mention the various little tiffs in the past, but just today, this woman actually beat her own husband! Look around the surrounding villages, which family would dare to do that? If she beats her own husband today, will she beat us elders tomorrow? And that's not all, she knows she did something wrong, so she pretended to be unconscious and had amnesia! What a piece of trash!"
Huang Shi, considering his status as an elder, usually gives his daughter-in-law some face. He was so angry today that he said those things.
His words startled Qin Shi, who was standing nearby, so much so that she almost collapsed.
In a moment of impulsiveness, I hit someone without thinking, without considering the consequences.
This is different from the previous troubles. This time, she hit her husband, which is no less than stabbing herself in the sky!
"You lot," the three kept nagging, and the young apprentice grew impatient, "go back to your own homes if you have something to say. This is a pharmacy; don't delay other patients' treatment."
"I'm sorry," Village Chief Huang apologized awkwardly, "we'll leave right away, right away."
On the way back, Huangshan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
The people in the old house had just finished eating the lunch that Jiang Nuan had brought when they heard a knock at the door:
"Father, Mother, we're back. Wife, open the door."
"The eldest son is back!" Grandma Huang stood up excitedly. "Let's go out and see him right away."
"What's the panic?" Old Huang said calmly. "They're not going to run away. Just wait here."
He spoke frankly because, judging from his son's tone, he felt that nothing serious had happened.
Since the grandson and granddaughter-in-law are alright, there's no need to worry.
After Huang Shi came in, he recounted what had happened at the pharmacy. Immediately, Huang's wife became furious, saying, "Husband, our Huang family can't afford a daughter-in-law like this."
“Let’s get a divorce,” the old lady said with a stern face. “Only then can our family have complete peace and quiet.”
She could accept anything else, but she would never forgive beating her grandson.
Since her granddaughter-in-law married into the Huang family, no one in the Huang family has ever wronged her. They have tolerated her until now, which can be considered as doing their utmost. Wherever she goes, she can hold her head high.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Father and Mother," Qin Shi sensed the seriousness in the words and knelt down with a thud. "I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please, don't divorce me."
She was already unable to have children, and now that she's been divorced and sent back to her parents' home, what chance does she have to survive?
“Grandma,” Huang Shan said, pursing his lips, “Qin made a mistake, and she can be disciplined, but divorcing her is too serious.”
Aside from the fact that he has no children, the mistakes his wife has made are minor, and divorcing her would be too serious.
However, Huang Shan knew that all he could do was not divorce his wife. The wholehearted trust he had before, without any doubt, was gone the moment he learned that he had been deceived.
He never imagined that the wife he had protected with all his heart would have so many thoughts.
This unfamiliar Qin family made Huang Shan feel very uncomfortable.
"Husband," Qin Shi said, tears streaming down her face, "aren't you going to protect me?"
"Crying again? Don't think you can get away with it by shedding a few tears," Old Mrs. Huang sneered. "You won't escape this time!"
