In the end, Zhang Haisheng's parents could no longer hide and chose to return to protect their son.
The elderly couple couldn't bear to see their son suffer such a beating, so they reluctantly scraped together 200 yuan and gave it to Han's mother.
After receiving the money, the Zhang family's sisters-in-law fed the chicken soup to their sister-in-law and niece who were lying on the ground.
Then they finished the whole pot of chicken before leaving with the food they had brought.
"Mother, are we just going to let that bastard Zhang Haisheng get away with this?"
Brother Han clenched his fists, somewhat resentful. Although he hadn't objected to his mother's previous decisions, it was because he knew she would never let it go so easily.
Now he's just taken 200 yuan and a divorce certificate and left like that. Doesn't the Han family have any shame now?
"There will be plenty of opportunities to cause trouble for the Zhang family brat. After this matter is over, you brothers can take a sack and go for a stroll at night. Who knows that this guy was beaten up by our family?"
“If we beat up that Zhang kid now, your sister might not get the divorce certificate, and we might not get custody of Daya!”
"If this child stays with Old Zhang's family, he probably won't even live to see the New Year!"
Han's mother touched Daya's yellow and dry hair. If she remembered correctly, her granddaughter was already 6 years old. How come she was not as big as a chick?
"Oh, Mother, please stop talking, we understand!"
After hearing what their mother said, the Han brothers understood. However, since the village chief was still nearby, they quickly called out to their mother.
"What's the big deal? I've disliked that old man for a long time. How dare he bully a girl from my Han Family Village!"
"But you guys need to be careful when you make your moves. You absolutely can't kill anyone. It doesn't matter if you cripple them!"
"As long as they don't give you any leverage, they can't do anything to you!"
Zhang Haisheng is the only son in the Zhang family, unlike the Han family which has many brothers and sisters.
Zhang's mother initially took a liking to the Han family's large and prosperous lineage and wanted to marry their daughter to continue her family's lineage.
However, because the first child she gave birth to was a girl, Zhang's mother harbored resentment towards the original owner of the body.
She didn't want her son to hurt his wife, but seeing the original owner being brutally beaten by her son made her feel relieved.
Back when she was young, she was also beaten like this by the old man, which is why she only gave birth to Zhang Haisheng, her only son.
Now that she sees her son being even more ruthless than her husband was back then, she finally has an outlet for her resentment.
Making others suffer twice as much as she had suffered gave her a real sense of satisfaction.
What she didn't expect was that this incident would cause her family to lose both their wife and their money.
You should know that Zhang's mother is now filled with remorse. If only she had advised her son more, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.
Back at the Han family home, Han's mother put her daughter in her own room. After all, the number of houses in the family was limited, and with so many grandchildren, there was simply no room available.
Anyway, these are my daughter and granddaughter. It's fine for them to squeeze in with the two of us old folks. Nobody will say anything.
Anyway, they sleep on a kang (heated brick bed) in this room, and the space is big enough, so they can just put a curtain in the middle to block it.
The son, daughter-in-law, and their children sleep separately in this way; otherwise, how many houses would you have to build to accommodate such a large family?
Apart from a few older granddaughters who have their own rooms, everyone else sleeps in cramped conditions.
After most of the day's ordeal, the medicine in Lin Xue's body has taken full effect, and she is no longer as uncomfortable as she was at the beginning.
At this point, he had regained his energy. Apart from the overly frightening appearance of the injuries on his skin, there was nothing wrong with his internal condition.
All the hidden ailments were cured, but minor problems like anemia still need to be treated with diet therapy.
Han's mother stewed another pot of chicken soup for Lin Xue. The chicken was an old hen that the family had raised for more than two years.
Except for the baby in the fourth child's family who had just been weaned, none of the other children in the family got any water.
Daya had eaten something and had food in her stomach, so she was no longer in any serious condition.
This was her first time visiting her maternal grandmother's house, and the first time she had experienced the care and love of family members.
Her older cousins were very kind to her; they would take her out to play, find food for her, and teach her to identify wild vegetables.
Daya thinks her maternal grandparents' house is the best house in the world, and she wishes she could live there forever.
For the past two days, Lin Xue had been pretending to be weak and unable to speak, until Village Chief Han delivered her divorce certificate to Old Han's house.
"Xiaoxue, this is your divorce certificate. You must keep it safe. With this, the Zhang family will never be able to hurt you again!"
Seeing that Lin Xue's complexion had improved a lot, Village Chief Han, who had always thought she wouldn't survive, felt somewhat comforted.
This is my daughter whom I've watched grow up since she was little. She's jumped into this fire pit. If she can be raised well, I hope she'll be more discerning when she looks for a partner again.
The old village chief sat for a while, offered a few words of comfort to Lin Xue and Han's parents, and then left.
Three more days passed, and a week had passed since Lin Xue returned to the Han family home. Neither her sisters-in-law spoke ill of her, either openly or behind her back.
They were all filled with sympathy for her plight, which warmed Lin Xue's heart.
But she knew she couldn't stay at Old Han's house forever; things had really opened up outside now, and there were plenty of people going out to work.
Lin Xue plans to take Daya away from this small place to see the outside world, find a good school for Daya to give her the best education, and raise this girl who has suffered so much to become successful.
She should also give a shout-out to her brothers. Since they didn't abandon her when she was down on her luck, she should lend a hand to them when she's able to do so.
As for Zhang Haisheng's family, Lin Xue had drugged him while he was in the yard, so he can forget about having children for the rest of his life.
As for the two elders of the Zhang family, they are past the age of childbearing, and besides, Lin Xue, that old woman, has seen it herself, that it is impossible for them to get pregnant again.
Since the Zhang family treats their daughter-in-law like dirt, it's not too much to make their family line end, right?
Of course, things couldn't end there. Didn't Zhang's older brothers already discuss it?
Once this matter is completely over, the Han family will naturally stand up for her.
While disciplining others, one must also avoid getting oneself into trouble; this is the great wisdom of Han's mother.
"Mother, I'm alright now, please let me help!"
After lying in bed for a week, Lin Xue had reached her limit. She felt that if she continued to lie in bed any longer, her bones would become crooked.
"You're all better now, why are you in such a hurry to get back to work?"
"There will always be work to do. Your most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself, because Da Ya is still waiting for you to take care of her!"
