Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Scaring Away the Crowd

Shang Hongying didn’t give Zhang Qiaoyan the chance to speak, continuing, "If you look down on me, fine, I’ll just go back to my parents’ house and clear some space for you all. With a capable sister like you, it’s just a matter of minutes for your brother to find a high school or college student as a wife. I won’t serve you anymore."

With that, she turned around and went back to her room, a move that took everyone in the courtyard by surprise, as Shang Hongying had never dared to provoke Zhang Qiaoyan, the younger sister-in-law, on an ordinary day.

Zhang Dongze came to his senses, stood up, glared at his own sister, and rushed to his room; he couldn’t let his wife return to her maiden home. If her several older brothers found out that their sister was aggrieved at her in-laws’ place, they would surely come over and cause trouble for the Zhang Family.

Unfortunately, this time Shang Hongying was determined to make a big deal out of the situation. She wanted to separate from the family, and this was the perfect opportunity. She had made up her mind to go back to her parents’ house today. By the time Zhang Dongze got there, she had already packed her clothes into her bundle.

She also stuffed the few dozen yuan she had saved over the years into her pocket and ignored Zhang Dongze’s efforts to stop her as she left the courtyard. Wang Chunnian saw that her daughter-in-law was serious about leaving, truly walking out with her bundle in hand.

She hurried out after her. The neighbors on either side had heard everything that had happened in the Zhang family’s courtyard clearly, as most of the villagers were eating their meals outside due to the hot weather.

Zhang Dezheng said to his daughter, "If your sister-in-law really goes back to her maiden home today, you’re responsible for bringing her back. If you can’t bring her back, you might as well stop going to school."

Zhang Qiaoyan replied, "She wanted to go back to her maiden home on her own, I didn’t drive her away. Even if she doesn’t come back, it’s not my fault. Did I say anything wrong?"

Zhang Dezheng said, "Let me tell you something, Zhang Qiaoyan, if your older sister-in-law doesn’t come back, I’m seriously not going to support your education anymore. Indeed, you went to high school, but all you learned has gone to waste.

You can’t even discern right from wrong, and you always act so superior to others, thinking you’re better than everyone else. Look at the things you’ve said these past few days, they make me blush with shame.

From tomorrow on, if you continue to talk ill of Luo Qiao outside and she confronts you about it, don’t you dare come back to me for help. I can’t afford to lose that face."

After saying this, he turned and left the courtyard. His daughter was truly infuriating, acting up every single day as if he owed her from a past life.

In the end, Zhang Dongze and Wang Chunnian failed to persuade Shang Hongying to return. As night was quickly falling, Zhang Dongze, fearing further trouble on the road, decided to accompany her.

As night fell, a dark figure swiftly disappeared into the night. It wasn’t long before the Secretary’s Home was pelted with stones, several of which crashed into the house, although not much was damaged.

It was the window paper that was thoroughly smashed, leaving the people inside panicked and covered in soil. Before the inside occupants could rush outside, the assailants had already left, but the loud noise was heard by all the neighbors.

The next day, word about the incident at the Secretary’s Home spread throughout the village. Zhang Dongze’s wife had left, driven away by her little sister-in-law, and Zhang Qiaoyan looked down on those who were uneducated. Now, Zhang Qiaoyan’s reputation was thoroughly tarnished, and the Secretary’s Home had been bombarded with clumps of soil in the middle of the night.

Everyone speculated that it was done by the Yue Family, as Shang Hongying’s family had three older brothers and two younger brothers, who were surely looking to vent their sister’s frustration.

This incident caused quite a headache for the Zhang Family, who also suspected it was the work of the Shang Family; after all, why else would someone throw soil clumps into their house just last night, not to mention they had not offended anyone else in the village.

But they couldn’t exactly go to their in-laws to inquire whether it was their doing. Besides, it was indeed their own daughter’s fault for mistreating her sister-in-law. Zhang Branch Secretary felt he had no right to confront them with accusations.
