Su Dahai finally understood everything; so this was what they were waiting for him!
Enraged, he overturned the table beside him, deciding to do whatever he wanted.
“Your daughter is very precious, a real gem. Our Su family can’t afford her. You should take her back to your parents’ home.”
Fine, then. The dowry is yours for the taking, and you don't need to return the bride price. Get out of here now.
They're really trying to take advantage of me!
"I'm not dead yet!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned ugly.
Back when Jiang Xue married into the Su family, her shabby appearance is still fresh in people's minds. She only brought a half-worn quilt with her, and had no other dowry.
In contrast, the Su family gave a real dowry of one hundred yuan, which was not a small amount at the time.
What do you mean by that?!
Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaolan sprang to her feet like a firecracker, stretching out her arm so her finger almost poked Su Dahai's nose, and yelled at the top of her lungs:
"You don't even want your own grandson anymore, do you?"
Is there any father-in-law in the world as irresponsible as you?
Believe it or not, I'll make sure your grandson calls someone else "Dad" from now on!
Su Dahai's face was dark as he looked at the greedy expressions on Mao Xiaolan's family's faces. He laughed angrily, "I'd love to! It's not like I only have one son who can have children. If you want to leave, you'd better get out of here before it gets dark!"
Tears streamed down Jiang Xue's face as she turned to look at Su Xiangbei, gritting her teeth and saying bitterly, "Su Xiangbei, is this how your family treats me? I'm going back to my parents' home right now, and I'll make sure my son calls someone else 'Dad' from now on!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran straight out of the yard without looking back.
The Jiang brothers, Jiang Jianjun and Jiang Jianguo, were agile and stepped forward to block Su Xiangbei, their eyes fierce as if they wanted to devour him.
"Su Xiangbei, is this how you bully my Xiaoxue?"
Before the words were even finished, the two brothers attacked from both sides, each throwing a punch without holding back, relentlessly beating Su Xiangbei and Su Dahai.
In their eyes, regardless of seniority, anyone who gets in the way of their interests deserves a beating, which is considered lenient.
Su Dahai was suddenly kicked to the ground, crying out in pain, "Ouch! Ouch!" He shouted, "I'm going to call the police and report you for ganging up on an old man like me. I want you all arrested and jailed!"
The Jiang brothers deliberately targeted places where no one could see them. After they finished hitting me, they spat on the ground, their faces full of disdain: "You old bastard, go ahead! If you've got the guts, call the police right now and try to arrest me."
"You dare to bully my sister? I'm not someone to be intimidated. Don't think you can scare me with a few harsh words."
Su Dahai was beaten black and blue, but thankfully his wallet was saved.
He secretly calculated that rather than getting beaten up, not spending money was the most important thing.
Even though Su Xiangbei was beaten so badly, he gritted his teeth and accepted it.
After all, they are his wife and children; how could he just abandon them like that?
He scrambled to his feet and gave chase, rushing out to block Jiang Xue's path: "Xiao Xue, don't be impulsive. Give me some time to think of a solution. You can't just go back to your parents' house like this. What will I do if you leave? What will happen to the children?"
Jiang Xue glared angrily at Su Xiangbei, her chest heaving violently: "Su Xiangbei, I'm completely done with you! Is this how your family treats me? I gave birth to such a big, fat grandson for your family, and you don't treat me like family at all."
My older and younger brothers are doing this for my own good. It's only right that your family compensates me.
"You guys are really something, making excuses and stalling. What did you mean by that just now?"
"Xiaoxue, calm down. I really didn't mean it that way. This was all my father's idea."
Su Xiangbei was sweating profusely, gripping Jiang Xue's shoulders tightly. "My father is divorced from my mother, and this job is all he has, he cherishes it more than anything. But this job will be mine sooner or later, it just can't be right now. I know I've wronged you, but believe me, I will handle it. Just give me some time. I'll go and ask Su Xiangnan to give me his compensation money, and I'll use it all to compensate you, okay?"
Jiang Xue knew that Su Dahai's job was indeed difficult to get back in the short term.
But she just wasn't willing to give up!
That old man is holding onto his money so tightly, he won't even give her a little compensation. When will she ever get any?
She has already given birth to a grandson for the Su family.
Looking at Su Xiangbei, she was usually quite nice to him, and she wasn't really determined to make things this bad; it was just that Su Dahai's words were too harsh.
"Stop trying to fool my little sister. You promised her everything when we were at the hospital, but you turned your backs on her as soon as we got home."
As Jiang Jianjun spoke, he stepped forward and gave Su Xiangbei a hard shove.
"That's right, do you really think our Jiang family is helpless and can be bullied by you at will!"
Jiang Jianguo chimed in, adding his support and encouragement.
Mao Xiaolan, supporting the sobbing Jiang Xue, spat fiercely: "Xiang Bei, I thought you were worried about my Xiao Xue, but I didn't expect your family to go so far. We won't forgive you so easily unless I see your sincerity."
The Jiang family, united in their hatred, launched into a tirade, their spittle flying everywhere, leaving Su Xiangbei speechless and unable to lift his head, forced to stand there with his head drooping.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Xue went back to her parents' home with her family. Throughout the entire ordeal, Jiang Xue didn't say a single word in his defense.
