"Zhang Qinghua, how can you be so heartless? Yaoqing is still your brother-in-law, are you trying to beat him to death?"
"What did we do to offend you that you would resort to such violence? Are we related by marriage? Are you our enemy?"
How could you be so heartless? Is your heart completely black?
As soon as Jiang lifted Fang Yaoqing's clothes, she saw that he was covered in bruises, and she could no longer suppress her anger.
He immediately ran out and questioned Zhang Qinghua, saying that if he hadn't been outmatched, he would have rushed over and fought back.
Zhang Qinghua was talking to Director Huang when he heard this. His eyes turned icy. "Then my sister is still Fang Yaoqing's wife, and Xiao Tao is still Fang Yaoqing's daughter."
"But how could he bear to let them go hungry and not give them food?"
"Don't talk about love. Xiao Tao is also your granddaughter. You can't bear to see her starving and skin and bones, so why can't I?"
At this moment, Zhang Qinghua finally felt anger, suppressed yet capable of manifesting as tangible rage, which shot straight towards Jiang.
"I...I..."
The things that had been done at home were exposed by Zhang Qinghua in front of the whole village and Director Huang, which made Jiang Shi panic.
"I...I didn't." Her eyes flickered, vehemently denying it.
Zhang Qinghua sneered, "So you mean my sister starved herself and her child to that extent?"
If you can't even come up with a decent reason for lying, even a fool wouldn't believe you.
What mother would starve herself and her child?
The people of Huangjiang Village were initially unaware of what had happened and harbored resentment towards Zhang Qinghua and his group for coming to their door and assaulting them.
But after hearing Zhang Qinghua's words, they looked at Jiang Shi in disbelief, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
"What? The Fang family is actually tormenting their daughter-in-law like this?"
"I didn't realize that Jiang was a sexist. She has three daughters herself, and she's never said she was sexist before."
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. How do you know she's not like that in private? If it weren't true, why would her in-laws frame her for no reason?"
"That's right, it must be because Fang's daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home to cry and complain, and that's why her family came looking for her."
"I never expected the Fang family to be so ruthless, not even giving them food? Then... then their daughter-in-law still has to go out every day to earn work points?"
"Oh dear, this person is so vicious. Didn't Jiang see through her?"
"I think Fang Yaoqing is no good. Those are his wife and children. How could he do such a thing? He's a beast."
Surrounded by voices scorning the Fang family, Jiang's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she felt ashamed.
She felt ashamed to face anyone after the villagers found out about the heartless thing she had done.
Director Huang hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and now he was angry and didn't want to get involved anymore.
I was originally thinking of trying to reconcile things and put in a good word for the Fang family, but now I think I should just give up. Such a heartless family isn't worth it.
Zhang Qinghua stared at Jiang Shi and said, "Auntie, this is the first time. We'll just beat her up and let it go. But if there's a next time, we definitely won't let it go so easily."
“My sister was always pampered by us when she was young. If she is wronged, we will definitely not stand for her and we don’t know what she might do.”
After saying that, she led Zhang Qingguo and the other man away, saying, "By the way, you're a woman too. You look down on girls? Then look down on yourself first."
"Tell Fang Yaoqing that he had better behave himself from now on, or the Zhang family is not to be trifled with."
"Ai Ai won't be coming back for now." With that, she led Zhang Qingguo and the other man away.
After Zhang Qinghua and the others left, Director Huang said angrily, "Jiang, you're really something."
Today, I've completely lost face in front of the people of Hongqi Village. From now on, I'll feel inferior to them.
"Director, this...we're not...it's just a small disagreement." Jiang looked at the angry Director Huang, somewhat frightened.
Director Huang is the most powerful person in Huangjiang Village; offending him will only lead to trouble.
"They've come knocking on our door, and you call this a minor conflict? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
"I'm warning you, you'd better behave yourselves from now on. If you do this again and harass your daughter-in-law, I won't let you off the hook."
If this matter hadn't become a big deal, he could have turned a blind eye.
But the accountant and the militia captain from Hongqi Village have come to our door. If we pretend not to see them, are we blind?
We can only warn the Fang family.
"I...I understand." Jiang felt scared and wronged, but she could only agree.
She never expected that the Zhang family's visit would ruin her family's reputation in the village and offend Director Huang.
Jiang felt as if she had swallowed a bitter pill, unable to express her suffering.
She just wanted a grandson, how is that wrong?
No one answered her question; everyone kept their distance from her and looked down on her.
After Zhang Qinghua returned home, he only told Zhang Aiai that he had been staying at home for the past few days, and said nothing else.
She really wanted to ask her older brother how things were going, but she didn't dare to.
Thinking of my sister-in-law's previous attitude, I felt a little wronged, but I didn't dare to say anything.
Song Lili was playing with the little boy inside when she saw Zhang Qinghua come in and asked, "Is it resolved?"
"Hmm, judging from Fang Yaoqing's expression, he'll have to think twice before doing something like this again."
Fang Yaoqing was beaten very badly and will probably be bedridden for one or two months before he can get out of bed. It just so happens that the news spreads, so it won't delay anything.
"People like this should be taught a good lesson so they won't dare to do it again."
Otherwise, if one act of leniency is taken lightly, it will happen countless times.
Zhang Qinghua understood this perfectly. He held Song Lili's hand and said, "You're right." Then he couldn't help but sigh, "Now I think Ai Ai's personality is really no good."
When faced with problems, they don't rest at all; they just passively accept whatever comes their way.
Song Lili rolled her eyes. "That's because you three spoiled him. He can't even tell the difference between grains and is lazy."
"If I hadn't learned to cook and taken on some of the housework later on, life at my in-laws' house would probably have been even more difficult."
"You think spoiling her is good for her, but is it really good for her?"
“I’ve said it before, spoiling a child is like killing a child. That’s exactly what you’ve done. The right thing to do is for parents to plan far ahead for their children, brother.”
When she arrived at the Zhang family, she consciously brought Zhang Aiai with her; otherwise, things would be even worse than they are now.
Zhang Qinghua remained silent, his heart heavy, realizing that they had made a mistake, a grave mistake.
They only thought that girls should be pampered, but forgot that she would get married and have her own life to live in the future.
That's too short-sighted.
"Did you realize it the moment you married into the family?" Otherwise, why would you keep bringing Ai Ai along?
