He dodged quickly, but Qiao Wanyue was agile and gave him no chance to fight back. She struck his good arm, and Yang Lin was beaten and ran around in the yard. She carried a rake and smashed it down, each time aiming to kill Yang Lin.
"Qiao Wanyue, stop right there!" Old Mrs. Yang, leaning on her cane, arrived at the Lu family home and stood in front of Yang Lin.
Yang Lin hid behind his mother, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Mother." Yang Lin sniffed, his back straightening as if someone had straightened it. He pointed at Qiao Wanyue, "Qiao Wanyue, you disrespect your father-in-law. I'll make Yunzhou divorce you."
Qiao Wanyue scoffed, "If he were to divorce me over something like this, I would do it without him even having to bring it up."
She stared coldly at Yang Lin, her eyes icy.
Sister-in-law Lu has been married into the Lu family for five years. In these five years, she has worked hard, if not made any great contributions, and she also has such a lovely little boy, Lu Hui. Yet her father-in-law actually slapped his daughter-in-law in the face and then had the audacity to demand that she serve the Yang family.
Old Mrs. Yang said, "Qiao Wanyue, do you have any respect for your elders? Even if your father-in-law did something wrong, you could just say a few words and that would be fine. Who are you trying to scare with this weapon?" Old Mrs. Yang was also trembling with fear.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch Qiao Wanyue cripple Yang Lin. If Yang Lin was crippled, all the heavy work in the Yang family would fall on her eldest grandson, and the Lu family would prosper.
Only with Yang Lin around can the Yang family rely on the Lu family to prosper.
She looked down on her good-for-nothing son, but she knew perfectly well that the Lu family's new daughter-in-law was capable, and Lu Yunzhou was also capable. Although Qiao Shanshan always said that Lu Yunzhou would sacrifice himself, she had been having a dream recently that the Yang family would eventually be torn apart, while Qiao Wanyue would lead the Lu family to prosperity.
Qiao Wanyue laughed angrily, "What did my sister-in-law do wrong? She's not even thirty yet, and she has a long scar on her face. It's only because my brother doesn't mind that she's like this. If one day my brother dislikes her, dislikes her because she's ugly, and kicks her out, how is she supposed to live as a woman without a family?"
"Wanyue...I..." Boss Lu squatted at the door. Hearing this, he wanted to refute. How could he possibly dislike the wife who gave birth to his son? Even if his wife turned into a ghost, he wouldn't dislike her. He just felt sorry for his wife.
Qiao Wanyue knew what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly, "Shut up."
Lu Laoda shut his mouth in annoyance.
“It’s just a scar. There are so many women in the world, you can just marry another one. Why do you have to criticize your grandmother over such a small thing?” Yang Dacui helped her mother into the Lu family home.
Qiao Wanyue said, "Sure, my older brother is getting a divorce from my sister-in-law. You need to give my older brother a dowry of 100 yuan, and he also needs to have the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a specific type of jewelry). If you can come up with these things, I will apologize to my father-in-law."
"Why should we pay for his wedding? Where did you get the nerve?" Yang's mother was so angry when she heard that her family was asked to pay that she jumped up and down a meter high and appeared at the Lu family's door. She had been watching the commotion from the doorway.
She stared intently at Yang Dacui, "Are you taking the money?"
Yang Dacui's expression was a mixture of anger and joy.
Qiao Wanyue threw down the rake in her hand, "Father-in-law, you've already slashed your own face, so this matter is over..."
"I'll teach you to be arrogant, I'll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter-in-law!" Before Qiao Wanyue could finish speaking, Old Lady Yang raised her cane and brought it down. Just as it was about to hit Qiao Wanyue, the Lu family rushed out.
Qiao Wanyue reached out and grasped her cane. "Grandma, I can hit old people too."
She cracked her knuckles, making a creaking sound.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with venom as she stared intently at the old woman before her.
Grandma Yang was shocked; she hadn't expected Qiao Wanyue to dare lay a hand on her.
