"benefactor?"
The old lady looked at Jiang Yuzhu and others suspiciously, guessing their identities.
It was cold in winter, and her grandson wasn't mentally ill, so why would he go to the ice hole?
“Bang!”
Then there was a crisp sound, and the old lady slapped Zhang Daya in the face with her backhand, cursing, "You money-loser, you unlucky star, I told you to go out and walk with Yaozu, I allowed you to be lazy and not work, but you let Yaozu suffer such a great injustice and you still help outsiders speak up!"
Zhang Daya lowered her eyes, her face full of bitterness.
From childhood to adulthood, she has heard too much abuse. She would feel sad at first, but now she has gradually become numb. She stood there stupidly with a bright red slap mark on her face.
This scene made Shen Zhilan, who followed closely, feel extremely uncomfortable.
She thought about the child she had lost in her previous life. What if it was a daughter?
This family is full of crooked people, and no one is reasonable.
"Daya, what are you standing there for?"
From the back of the crowd, a pregnant woman came over. She looked at Zhang Daya and said softly, "Do you still remember how your mother taught you?"
"If anyone hits me for no reason, I will hit him back."
Zhang Daya repeated it in a low voice, but because she had been oppressed by her grandmother since she was a child, she did not dare to disobey her superiors.
The woman's expression remained unchanged, and she looked at the old lady with cold eyes.
The old lady immediately exploded and cursed, "You are a bitch who will bring down your husband, and you want to raise a little bitch? Dare to disobey your elders, I will beat you to death!"
"That's perfect, beat him to death."
The woman didn't take it seriously and ignored the old lady. Instead, she hugged her daughter in her arms and apologized softly, "Daya, I'm sorry for you."
When she married into the Zhang family, they were extremely poor.
Because of her good cooking skills, she was invited to work as a chef in a restaurant in the neighboring city.
As a woman, it is not good for her to go alone, so the couple decided to go together and had to reluctantly leave their daughter Daya in the village.
Back then, my mother-in-law often disliked Daya because she was a girl and a money-loser.
The woman thought that after all, she was her granddaughter, so she would not be too harsh on her.
After several years, the couple handed over all their earnings to their mother-in-law, whose only wish was for her daughter to live a better life.
As a result, the mother-in-law said sweet things to you but was actually bitter, saying one thing in front of you and another behind your back.
A few months ago, her husband died unexpectedly, and the woman found out she was pregnant when she returned to the village.
After experiencing the pain of losing her son, the mother-in-law acted as if nothing had happened. She even had the energy to scold her: "I've lost my son, and who knows whose bastard the baby in your belly is. Don't even think about blaming the Zhang family!"
As for the Zhang family's incense, Zhang Yaozu alone is enough.
"Lanhua, why are you so angry? If our Yaozu gets hurt by the cold, can you and your daughter, who is a money-loser, afford to compensate him?"
Next to the old lady stood a sarcastic woman, who was Zhang Yaozu's mother. She leaned beside the old lady and whispered a few words to her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in collusion.
They naturally refused to acknowledge that Jiang Yuzhu and others had saved people.
"Okay, in winter, only our village comes here to break ice. Where did you come from? You are trying to kill people. You deserve to be killed!"
The old lady was extraordinary. She quickly followed her grandson Zhang Yaozu's idea and planned to ask for some money to settle the matter peacefully, otherwise they, as the victims, would go to the authorities to sue!
"Mother, Lanhua and Zhang Daya can't leave. Didn't we agree to sell them to the barbarians for a fortune?"
I heard that the city lord has started to play with little girls recently, and Zhang Daya is just the right girl.
As for Lanhua, she is pregnant and has special hobbies, so she charges a higher price than an ordinary woman.
The old lady thought it made sense and said with a grin, "Lanhua, you're pregnant, what if you bump into your darling grandson?"
After saying that, the old lady signaled Zhang Yaozu's mother to bring the orchid home first.
"Daya is my granddaughter, how can I not love her?"
The old lady said this without feeling guilty at all, as if she was not the one who had just slapped Zhang Daya.
Lanhua ignored the old lady and knelt down in front of Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Thank you for saving me, my benefactor. Otherwise, Daya would have lived in chains forever."
Given Zhang Yaozu's personality, the more arrogant he becomes, the worse his ending will be. No one cares whether he lives or dies, but Daya must not be implicated.
Even though she was bullied and abused, Zhang Daya was kind-hearted. If Zhang Yaozu died in front of her, she would still feel guilty and there would always be a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie.
Mo Yanben was so angry that she stamped her feet, but after hearing these words, she suddenly calmed down. Yes, she just regarded it as rescuing a little girl.
If the mother and daughter do not leave their husband's family, sooner or later they will be plotted against until nothing is left of them.
"Mrs. Zhang, I want to take Daya away."
Lanhua smoothed her daughter's hair and spoke firmly.
It was freezing cold, and it was inconvenient for Lanhua to leave while she was pregnant. She had originally planned to wait until the weather warmed up before leaving, but now she couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour.
"no!"
In the afternoon, someone from Heizhong came to see her. If Lanhua left, wouldn't the money be gone?
The old lady drooped her eyes and said, "The child in your belly is from the Zhang family!"
"Oh? Not a bastard?"
Lanhua stroked her belly and suddenly felt relieved. "You're right. It's not Zhang's flesh and blood."
Only after her man passed away did Lanhua realize she was pregnant.
Now that she had destroyed her own reputation, the old lady believed it to some extent and was about to curse her, but when she saw the look in Yao Zu's mother's eyes, she decided to appease her.
Originally, the Zhang family had no intention of recognizing it!
The money obtained from selling Lanhua and her daughter was just enough to find Yaozu a knowledgeable teacher to teach him, and it was just a matter of time before he became the top scholar in the imperial examination!
Lanhua slowly stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped the old lady. Her words froze like ice: "One slap is not enough for all the injustices Daya has suffered over the years."
“Bang!”
Lanhua hit another one with her backhand.
Now, Zhang Yaozu's father was angry. He grabbed Lanhua's head and wanted to throw her into the ice hole.
Jiang Yuzhu originally thought it was just a story about a punching bag, and she had no interest in watching it. But when she saw the twist, she stopped and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, committing a crime in front of us?"
Some women were insulted and beaten, unable to stand up on their own, and endured it silently.
It can be seen that orchids are not like this.
Since you have decided to leave your in-laws' house, do it decisively and without any hesitation.
"Old Lady Zhang, my husband and I have brought back at least several hundred taels of silver over the years, and yet you dress Daya in the worst jacket imaginable, made entirely of rags from more than a decade ago, without even a quilt. You feed her the worst food, sucking the blood and flesh of my wife and me dry to support that little brat's family!"
Now that you’ve eaten her, spit it all out!
"Three hundred taels, give three hundred taels to me and Daya."
After Lanhua spoke, the old lady was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"It's a great act of treason to expose the family's shame in public!"
The old lady was so angry that she lay down and slapped her thigh, asking the elders of the clan to decide how to deal with Lanhua.
Lanhua curled her lips indifferently, took the initiative to approach the old lady, and said nonchalantly: "Old Lady Zhang, three hundred taels is not a lot, you can take it out, do you think I don't know the money you earned by doing it?"
"What, what black-hearted silver?"
Old Lady Zhang felt guilty, her eyes wandering around, not looking at Lanhua. She said something else, "Anyway, the descendants of the Zhang family cannot leave!"
