Amidst the pleas of Qi's parents, Wei's mother gave an order, and everyone stopped. Wei's mother coldly watched as Qi's parents knelt down to help Qi Zhijun, who had fallen to the ground. After a while, Qi Zhijun stood up, comforted his parents, rubbed his face, and said, "Mom, this is our fault. If you want to hit me to vent your anger, then hit me. I have nothing to say. It's my fault. I didn't protect Shuqing, and I didn't protect the child!"
Wei Xigun raised his fist to step forward, but Qi's mother cried out. Qi's father clutched his heart, and Qi Zhijun shrank back, covering his head with his hands. Wei's mother stopped him and said, "What are you going to do?"
With red eyes and a choked voice, Wei Xigun said, "Mom, didn't you see? Qi Zhijun, that pretty boy, hasn't changed at all. He's a beast. The whole Qi family is only as good as my sister and Aiguo. They're the only ones who are so thin and pale. Qi Zhijun, you son of a bitch, that's your wife. She just gave birth to your son. Do you know how hard she worked, breastfeeding the baby while going to work? She's become so thin. You're blind and heartless. And look at your son. You deserve to be struck by lightning. How can he eat special food like that?"
Wiping away her tears, Sister Wei said, "Qi Zhijun, you must give us an explanation today. Our family cannot watch my sister wait to die in your Qi family!"
Qi Zhijun said urgently, "Who told you that they have special meals at home? That's completely unfounded..."
Wei Xigun, furious, went up and punched Qi Zhijun again, yelling, "You bastard, you didn't get any special treatment, you're so greasy and slippery..."
Qi's parents rushed forward, trying to stop him but to no avail, and cried out, "No, no, stop!" "Stop! Let's talk this out!"
While pounding the ground, Wei Xigun said, "Damn it, do you think I'm like you, blind ass? How could my sister turn out like that! Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
Qi Zhijun was beaten without any chance to fight back, and his mother cried out from outside, "Wei Shuqing, come out here and explain yourself..."
Wei Shuqing stepped forward to stop Wei Xigun. Looking at Qi Zhijun's bruised and swollen face, she felt no pity whatsoever. She coldly looked at the Qi family and said, "What do you want me to say? Isn't this obvious to everyone with eyes?"
Qi's mother said angrily, "What exactly do you mean? Why did you send your family to make a scene? Who do you want to embarrass?"
Wei Shuqing chuckled and crossed her arms. "What do you mean? Can't you see? I'm giving your good son Qi Zhijun back to you, so he can help your good daughter and support your precious children." She then glared at Qi Zhijun and cursed, "I'll take advantage of my rest these few days to go to your workplace, Qi Zhifang's workplace, and to those two beasts' schools to spread the word about how vicious you are, how your respectable Qi family does respectable things, and how your little beast dares to harm people at such a young age."
Mother Qi clutched her chest and wept bitterly, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy!"
Mr. Qi remained silent, his face grim. Qi Zhijun was taken aback, then grabbed her arm and said, "Shuqing, don't be impulsive. Nobody wanted this to happen. We can have more children in the future..."
Wei Xigun went up and punched him again, cursing, "You bastard, you still dare to harm my sister."
Qi Zhijun clutched his stomach, unable to straighten up, and could only plead in a low voice, "Shuqing, we are still young, we have a long life ahead of us. You can't end our marriage so arbitrarily. Besides, isn't Fangzi a widow now? She's having such a hard time. Can you bear to watch the children go hungry and starve to death? It's just a matter of a few more mouths to feed and a few more chopsticks. Can't we be more generous?"
Mother Qi wiped away her tears and sobbed, "My daughter is my flesh and blood, and even when she comes home for a meal, she has to put up with your attitude. Fine, I told her not to come over anymore, is that enough? This perfectly good family is falling apart, are you happy now? Is this acceptable?"
Mother Wei slammed her hand on the table and roared, "You say they can't even come home for a meal? Tell me, how many meals have they eaten here in the past year? How much of the money my daughter paid is left? How dare you even say that? Their meals have nothing to do with my daughter. If they didn't eat my daughter's food, let's talk it over. Shuqing paid 36 yuan a month, which is 1008 yuan in the past two and a half years. My son-in-law's salary is a little lower, so he gives you 28 yuan a month, which is 784 yuan. That's 1792 yuan in total. Now give me that money and give it to the young couple. If you give it to them, it's like feeding your daughter a king. If my daughter dares to say a word against you, I'll personally come and clean house for you. Where's the money? Give it to me!"
Qi's mother's lips trembled as she remained silent, while Wei's mother slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Money! Give it to me! Why can't I give it to you?"
Seeing that the Qi family remained silent, Wei's mother sneered and said, "Today, either let me see the exact amount on the bankbook, or give me the money. Otherwise, my family of over 20 people isn't here for nothing. We'll risk everything and spread the word about you everywhere."
How did you mistreat your daughter-in-law? How did you turn such a beautiful young woman into this grotesque state? How did you let your own grandson starve to the point of being emaciated? You even allowed your Qi family to secretly keep the hen that your daughter's family sent to help her produce milk for your own use.
Your daughter-in-law works hard in the workshop to earn money to support your family. How can you bear to secretly cook for her behind her back? You even have the nerve to let her eat the leftovers from your grandson's plate. Sometimes there isn't even the bottom of the plate, and she doesn't even have enough cornbread to eat. Is this how you respectable people behave?
I think you're even more immoral than the most wicked family in the countryside. Look at the way your grandsons eat! It's disgusting. My poor Shuqing is two months pregnant, carrying your entire child, isn't she? How could you treat her like this? Just because she couldn't finish the last bit of food from your grandsons' plate, she took the baby out for a bowl of wontons, and you wouldn't let it go, ordering those two little beasts to beat her until she miscarried. Are you even human?
