Chapter 187: Chapter 184: May Both Families Meet and Part on Good Terms [1900+ Votes]

————

Xie Tiesheng caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, and saw his wife rush in with an ashen face. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over to support his partner who was clearly about to faint, anxiously shouting:

"Madam, don’t be angry!"

Xie Tiesheng’s gruff voice suddenly erupted, abruptly drawing everyone’s gaze to Zhou Xiuhua, who stormed in like a whirlwind.

Zhou Xiuhua was indeed furious. She had barely managed not to faint along the way, entirely driven by her rage. Completely ignoring her husband’s hushed warning, she charged forward fueled by sheer anger—

Her pale face turning green, she stormed up to Wang Xiaofei and bellowed loudly: "Wang Xiaofei, take that darling sister of yours and get out of my house now, or else I will invoke the Old Xie Family rules!"

"Mom—" Fifth called out softly as he rushed forward, joining Boss in supporting Zhou Xiuhua, who was about to fall backward.

"Granny!" Wang Xiaofei was also startled by Zhou Xiuhua’s appearance!

Zhou Xiuhua, however, was fixated on Wang Xiaofei, "Take your people and get out of the Xie Family’s door! Get out—" After yelling the last word, she had already rolled her eyes and nearly fainted.

"Mom!" Xie Jingzi hurried over.

Fortunately, after the eldest sister-in-law had left, she became worried. Thinking back to what Third Son’s Wife had instructed her before leaving—that her mother’s illness could not be agitated, as anger could induce an onset of her condition—she quickly found the pills secretly given to her by Third Son’s Wife, and while asking Xiao Yi and Xiao’er to look after the younger children, she quickly walked to the front courtyard.

When she heard her father’s loud shout, she knew trouble was brewing. It was fortunate that she had been exercising recently and could run fast enough. She arrived just in time to see her mother fainting and rushed towards her,

"Mom, Mom, don’t faint, eat this pill first, swallow it, don’t get angry, Mom, the pills are from Third Sister-in-law!"

Xie Jingzi tried to remain calm, though she was frantic inside. She pried open her mother’s tightly clenched mouth, hurriedly taking out a pill and pushing it into her mouth—

Xu Xiaofen had already rushed into the room, fetching a large bowl of cool boiled water, coordinating with Xie Jingzi’s actions to help Zhou Xiuhua drink.

Xie Tiesheng was, after all, getting on in years, and he wasn’t lightly affected by the anger either. His movements were not as quick or responsive as his sons who were closer. Now, seeing his wife’s semi-paralyzed state, he summoned a strong burst of energy, pushed Boss aside, and forcefully held Zhou Xiuhua’s upper body, shaking with an urgent voice as he called out commandingly:

"Xiuhua, Xiuhua, don’t scare me! Quickly swallow it, down it now!"

Zhou Xiuhua’s eyes were already rolling back, consciousness slipping away, but upon hearing her partner’s stern command, she managed to swallow the pill using all her remaining strength to ’control’ her throat.

With the moisture from the water, the pill indeed slid down her throat more easily!

Upon hearing this swallowing sound, the Xie Family members let out a sigh of relief, and even the outsiders from the two Wang families secretly breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, it hadn’t turned into something serious; that was truly a stroke of luck!

With such a commotion at Xie Tiesheng’s house, representatives from the various branches of the Xie Family had arrived. Observing that the situation was improving, they all listened quietly on the sidelines with their ears open but mouths shut.

The ground was too cold; continuing to lie there would cause sickness even without a disease.

"Dad, relax. Let Boss carry mom into the house first, it’s cold on the ground!" Xie Jingzi reacted the quickest, seeing that her mother’s complexion was gradually becoming peaceful and after watching attentively for nearly ten minutes, she believed that moving her wouldn’t result in any complications that Third Sister-in-law mentioned. Then she spoke to Xie Tiesheng.

At this time, no one in the Xie Family had the mood to bother with the Wang surname people; they were all half-kneeling on the ground, focusing on Zhou Xiuhua who was being held by father and son Xie Tiesheng and Xie Jingyang.

Xie Jingzi’s words finally broke the silence. Xie Tiesheng nodded, let Tie Dan carry his partner into the house, his old legs growing weak as well. It was the brother and sister Xie Jingzi and Xie Jingyang who helped him up.

Wang Xiaofei knew that the tide had turned, seeing Zhou Xiuhua in such a state, he was sure that there must be some leverage on his younger sister that made her completely lose face.

Moreover, the Xie Family members were too united. Without anyone notifying others, people from each household were already watching from the sidelines.

So, when Xie Tiesheng looked over, Wang Xiaofei was already mentally prepared. But he was not someone who would suffer a loss, so when Wang Junxuan was frightened enough to flee, he decisively grabbed him by the shoulder.

The Wang Family had a tacit understanding and surrounded Wang Guicai and his son.

"Wang Xiaofei, let’s end this on good terms, don’t let the Xie and Wang Families become the laughingstock of others."

Xie Jingyang’s eyes, full of fierce anger, glared with ferocity at Wang Xiaofei, Wang Junxuan, speaking in a cold voice.

At this point, if Wang Xiaofei still shamelessly tried to keep Wang Xiaocui here, once Zhou Xiuhua regained consciousness, the old Xie Family law would surely be invoked, and in the end, Wang Xiaocui would still be divorced, and the reason would become widely known!

Even if they don’t live in Qingfeng Village of Qingshan Team, the county town is only so big, with towns in close proximity to each other. This news wouldn’t need three days to spread, and the whole county town would know about it!

The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang Family wanted to say something but had no status in the Wang Family. Her husband treated his elder sister well but had no conjugal affection for her. If she truly spoke out, she would definitely face a beating from her husband when she got back!

It wasn’t the first or second time this had happened; she now greatly regretted her brainless attempt to kick someone who was down. Now, as it turned out, she tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice! With the elder sister-in-law sent back to her mother’s house, it was as if she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own foot!

Fortunately, there was still a chance for redemption. Thinking this, her narrow eyes squinted into thin slits as she sized up the pretty-boy Wang Junxuan, thinking to herself: The elder sister-in-law’s luck and eye for men were indeed good; even the man she stole was remarkably handsome!

Regardless of how the two Wang families eventually negotiated, in any case, Wang Xiaocui, in her unconscious state, was expelled from the Xie Family, and the miscarried fetus, under the insistence of the fifth family, was buried in the Xie Family ancestral graveyard, which was the last thing he, as her father, could do for it.

In that era, unborn fetuses were usually disposed of in desolate burial grounds, especially a fetus like this one, with a mother like Wang Xiaocui who brought disgrace.

Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua were originally unwilling, but considering that the Third Son’s Wife was pregnant, they didn’t want to affect her womb, and since the fifth insisted this fetus was of the Old Xie bloodline, the old couple eventually followed the fifth’s wishes and stayed out of it silently.

Not to mention Zhou Xiuhua, even Xie Tiesheng felt a sigh of relief over Wang Xiaocui’s lost fetus.

Before the accident had happened, the elderly couple was already extremely disappointed with Wang Xiaocui. If not for the sake of her being pregnant and the mother of Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, they would’ve allowed the fifth to divorce her long ago.

For a daughter-in-law unable to fulfill the most basic virtues of filial piety, chastity, benevolence, and kindness, what use was she to them?
