CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51 RESISTANCE

"Well, in-laws, this is the first time I’ve seen it, a daughter-in-law talking to her mother-in-law and husband like this. What do you mean by handling procedures? Do you mean our Dazhuang can’t live without you? Our Dazhuang could easily find an 18-year-old girl if he left you. Could you do that? You come with a burdensome child, what kind of person could you find?

Let me tell you, it’s out of good intentions that we keep you in our family, just because you can’t give birth to a son, in rural families, you would have been kicked out by the mother-in-law long ago. And what is this about your brother spending your money?

It’s called borrowing, don’t you understand borrowing?

I’m telling you, if you don’t want to come back, then stay at your mother’s home, live there your whole life. Dazhuang will come with me. I just can’t believe it, I’ve never seen such an arrogant woman."

Mother Qin blustered, but she was actually feeling guilty.

She hoped her bluffing would intimidate her daughter-in-law.

To make her daughter-in-law obediently come with them.

Otherwise, if this issue really leads to the second son’s divorce, it would ruin the reputation of the eldest.

Qin Dazhuang was taken aback, "Mom, don’t talk like that. Jiang Xin isn’t that kind of person." He turned to Jiang Xin, his eyes filled with plea. He had gotten used to yielding to his mother, so he expected his wife to yield to her just like him.

In his mind, less trouble is better than more trouble, and besides, she’s his mother, is he expected to strangle his own mother?

"Jiang Xin, if you can’t get over this in your heart, you can come home and hit me, scold me, anything is fine once we close the door as husband and wife, I can admit my wrong, I can even kneel on a washboard for you.

But divorce is not an option, it’s just talk brought on by the moment. Our mom means no harm, you’re also a kind person, wouldn’t taking a step back make everything okay? I believe elder brother didn’t intend to take advantage.

We’re facing a little trouble now, but once we get through this, everything will be fine, won’t it?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, the sound was crisp and loud.

"Brother-in-law, I never thought you were so articulate, now I realize your speaking skills are top-notch. When the matter doesn’t concern you personally, you always tell my sister to take a step back to make things right. I’ve never seen backing down making things right.

You say your elder brother didn’t do it intentionally, but isn’t it about time to pay back the money he borrowed for so many years? Anyone with a sense of reason would see your family’s life isn’t affluent, and your niece here is crying from hunger, shouldn’t he proactively return the money to relieve the urgent need?

Instead, he pretends to be ignorant, claiming it’s not intentional. Is it only intentional if my niece is starved to death? And what do you mean by saying my sister is kind, does being kind mean she should be bullied?

Does being kind mean she should be taken advantage of?

If that’s the case, I’d rather my sister not be that kind of person, at least she’d be able to protect her child and ensure her own happiness."

Fan Xiuying also wanted to applaud her daughter in her heart.

The words were satisfying!

"Yes, Dazhuang. You need to speak with conscience, don’t always let your wife be kind while others aren’t. That’s deliberate bullying, and besides, even if you’re kind, you should direct your kindness toward your wife and child, look at what has become of them?

Even if you have kindness, use it appropriately.

If you starved your wife and kids, others might see your kindness as ridiculous. For the sake of elder brother and mother, you’d starve your wife and children to death. Who could believe such a thing?

If it really happened, I wonder if elder brother and sister-in-law would still want to show their faces in public?"

Fan Xiuying felt a sense of relief.

Qin Dazhuang was berated by his sister-in-law and also had fuel added to the fire by his mother-in-law, and suddenly felt like he had fallen into a frying pan.

Inside and out, he felt burned.

The most important thing was that the sister-in-law and mother-in-law made sound arguments, which made his face burn with embarrassment.

Jiang Xin looked at Qin Dazhuang.

"Dazhuang, mother and sister have said what needed to be said on my behalf, so I have nothing more to say. With the child in this condition, I can’t go back with you. Going back with you would mean a dead end for me and the child. Staying here at least we can survive, even for the sake of the child, I won’t go back with you.

Go! Go back and live with your brother and mother!"

Jiang Xin no longer looked at Qin Dazhuang, holding her crying child, she returned to the room.

Qin Dazhuang wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, Jiang Xin had already shut the door.

Mother Qin was panicked.

She relied on the fact that everyone else wanted to maintain dignity, so if she showed a bit of shamelessness, things would be easier to handle and she could control others.

But now everyone on the other side had given up on dignity, which instead made her panicked.

"In-laws, look at how things have gotten so out of hand, we didn’t mean for this to happen."

"Whether you meant it or not, we don’t know. But my daughter is right, when her brother-in-law returns the money he owes us, then my daughter will go back. Otherwise, she’ll stay at her mother’s home. Besides, Dazhuang! It’s not that I’m cruel as a mother-in-law, you go back and consider my words.

If you think my words are unreasonable, then go ahead and prepare the paper; come over and handle the procedure with my daughter, even if my daughter gets divorced, we can afford to take care of her.

Now, both of you, please return to where you came from. Don’t stay here at our place, our child needs to rest — exposing her to the wind after postpartum, and then getting so upset, it’s a wonder if she’ll have good days ahead.

If she’s left with a condition, it’ll be my daughter who suffers when she’s older."

Fan Xiuying directly ordered them to leave.

Qin Dazhuang and Mother Qin were promptly ushered out by Jiang Xiaoxiao, and as the door shut, peace returned to their home.

Qin Dazhuang sighed, stood up, and left.

Mother Qin kept grumbling as she walked.

"Look at the wife you’ve married, how could a daughter-in-law treat her mother-in-law with such an attitude, what is happening here? And what kind of in-laws are these? I told you not to pick Jiang Xin, I said several times not to pick Jiang Xin, but you insisted, look at the family upbringing, look at what kind of family this is?

They’re acting like cannibals, and where did those words come from, what kind of parents encourage their daughter to divorce their own son-in-law, what kind of family would do such a thing?"

Qin Dazhuang suddenly stopped.

Mother Qin almost ran into her son’s back.

"What are you doing?"

"Mom, what do you want me to do now? My family has already been torn apart because of you and brother, and what do you want me to do now? Do you want me to jump into the river right now, to hang myself immediately, would dying make you content? Would it make your and brother’s life comfortable?"

Qin Dazhuang shouted, then stormed off.

Mother Qin was stunned by Qin Dazhuang.

This was the first time her son had shown such an antagonistic attitude toward her.
