"You brat, what are you doing?" Qin's father felt extremely embarrassed. "Father-in-law, you two go your way and leave her alone."
Huang Shi didn't want to get entangled with the Qin family, so he nodded, said nothing, and drove away.
As the oxcart went further and further away, Qin Shi grew more and more desperate. She could no longer see any familiar figures. Helplessly, she collapsed to the ground, and the starlight in her eyes gradually faded away.
"You brat!" Qin's father angrily slapped his daughter. "Why aren't you going back home? Are you afraid the villagers won't know you've done something wrong?"
"Father, I'm not going back," Qin Shi pushed away her father's hand and stumbled forward, "I want to go home to find my husband."
This isn't her home; she needs to go back to her own home.
"You brat, do you really want to embarrass yourself like this?" Father Qin dragged her into the yard and slammed the door shut. "If you damage the Qin family's reputation, I'll kill you!"
At this moment, Qin's mother, who had heard the commotion, came out. "Old man, why is this girl back?"
She looked around and said unhappily, "Where's my son-in-law? Why isn't he with us? He's so ill-mannered."
Why return home without bringing gifts? It's a waste of food. They're so ignorant. Don't they know their family is large and they don't have much food?
"You should ask your good daughter that question," Mr. Qin said, giving Mrs. Qin a resentful look. "She dares to hit her own husband; no wonder she was sent back!"
"What?!" Qin's mother covered her mouth in disbelief. "This girl hit her son-in-law?"
How dare this girl lay a hand on her own man? Doesn't she want a good life?
Don't be fooled by her frequent claims that the Huang family isn't truly sincere towards her daughter; they just want her to provide more financial support to her family. No one knows better than her, as her mother, how the Huang family treats her daughter.
Her parents-in-law are kind and easygoing, and her husband is also very considerate. To be honest, it would be hard to find someone more fortunate than her daughter in the surrounding villages.
“That’s right,” Qin’s father said coldly, “You didn’t see it, half of his face is swollen, and there are bloodstains on the corner of his mouth. I don’t know if it will leave a scar.”
This son-in-law is such a coward. A grown man like him got scratched up by a woman. It's really shameful.
"What's going on?" Qin's mother walked to her daughter's side. "Why are you making such a fuss instead of enjoying a perfectly good life?"
She was extremely envious of her own daughter's life, and now that it was all gone, she wondered if she would ever be able to enjoy her son-in-law's filial piety again.
Thinking of this, Qin's mother became nervous. "Tell your mother what exactly happened. If you are divorced, our family will not tolerate you."
"Mother." Qin looked at her mother hopefully, and then recounted what had happened.
When Qin's mother learned that her daughter had not been divorced but had instead returned home to reflect on her actions, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that she wasn't divorced. As long as she's a member of the Huang family, we still have a chance."
"There's still a chance?" Qin was stunned. "Mother, my husband has clearly lost his love for me. Is there really still a chance?"
“Definitely,” Qin’s mother said confidently. “As long as we have a son, everything will be fine.”
The reason why the daughter was so easily kicked out is ultimately because she has no foundation and can only rely on her son-in-law. Once her son-in-law stops protecting her, she can only be bullied by others.
Having a son makes all the difference; he becomes a hero to the Huang family. Even if the Huang family wants to bully others, they'll have to think twice about the weight of their grandson.
“Mother,” Madam Qin said with a bitter smile, “It’s easy to say, but having a son isn’t that easy.”
"What are you afraid of?" Qin's mother raised her chin. "In the meantime, I'll find some folk remedies for you and try to get pregnant on the first try."
