152 Chapter 152: The Zhang Family’s Visit
The three siblings exchanged a few more words before parting ways.
When Qin Xiaoyao pushed the handcart back to the Song family’s house, everyone had already returned.
Big Girl Li brought Liu Xiaomei over, saying that they had already rented Aunt Sun’s rooms and would move in the next day.
“That’s great! If you need help moving, just come over and tell me!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
!!
“I have some matters to attend to at my father’s place, so I have to go over later. You and Xiaomei can stay for lunch!” she said.
“What happened? Uncle Qin…”
“Nothing. I just need to go over.” Qin Xiaoyao interrupted Big Girl Li with a smile.
“I won’t be having lunch at home.”
Big Girl Li wanted to ask more, but Qin Xiaoyao had already pushed the handcart away.
Helpless, Big Girl Li could only give up.
If her Sister Sanya was not going to be at home, she was too embarrassed to stay for a free meal.
So, after discussing with Liu Xiaomei, the two of them took advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet risen so high to bid farewell to Madam Liu and return to Brook Falls Village.
After Qin Xiaoyao put down the handcart in the storeroom, she went to her room to look for Song Que.
After that, she went to explain to Madam Liu the general situation before proceeding to the Qin family.
At the Qin family.
Qin Xiaoyao entered the courtyard and realized that Madam Zhang was still outside her father’s room and did not go inside.
Her eldest sister-in-law was working in the courtyard while keeping an eye on Madam Zhang. Qin Xiaoyao was very pleased.
When Eldest Sister-in-law saw Qin Xiaoyao had arrived, she immediately smiled and felt more at ease.
“Sanya, you’re back! Your second sister-in-law has already gone to cook. Today, we’ll be eating together. Sanya, you have to stay for lunch!” Eldest Sister-in-law said immediately.
Her husband had already packed up and returned. She asked him about the situation, but he refused to say a word.
She didn’t know where her second brother-in-law had gone to. He still hadn’t returned.
It made her feel very uneasy.
However, now that her young sister-in-law was back, she felt more at ease.
“Mm-hmm. It’s been hard on you, Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law! I’ll lend you all a hand!” As she spoke, she prepared to step forward to help.
“Gosh! We don’t need you! Go and accompany Father-in-law and talk to him more. We’ll inform you when lunch is ready.” Eldest Sister-in-law quickly turned down her offer.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Madam Zhang, who was looking into her father’s room furtively, and nodded with a smile.
“Alright then.”
After that, she went to Qin Dazhuang’s room.
When Qin Xiaoyao went over, Madam Zhang didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. She lowered her head again and stood further away.
Qin Xiaoyao glared at Madam Zhang before entering.
Qin Erhu finally returned just before noon.
He also brought back the two elders of the Zhang family and Zhang Dashui.
As soon as the group of people entered the house, they saw Madam Zhang standing outside Qin Dazhuang’s room.
When Madam Zhang saw the Zhang family, she put on an aggrieved expression at once.
She didn’t care about the situation in the house anymore and quickly walked toward the Zhang family.
Her tears fell like rain.
“Father, Mother… Younger Brother!”
When the Zhang family saw this, they finally realized that something was wrong and quickly went to Madam Zhang’s side.
As they were talking, Qin Erhu rushed to Qin Dazhuang’s room.
After a while, he and Qin Xiaoyao helped Qin Dazhuang out.
At the same time, Qin Dahu came over after hearing the news.
He stood in the courtyard and stared at the Zhang family with an expression full of hostility.
The Zhang family was surprised to see that Qin Dazhuang, who used to be as strong as an ox, had become so sickly.
“Son… Son-in-law, what happened to you?” The old man from the Zhang family looked at Qin Dazhuang with fear and some worry.
He was a little afraid of his son-in-law.
After all, his son-in-law slaughtered pigs, and he slaughtered more than one every day.
“Hmph! I am not worthy of being your son-in-law,” Qin Dazhuang replied icily.
As he uttered the phrase ‘son-in-law,’ he even glanced at Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang’s expression changed drastically when she heard this.
“Master, Master, I was wrong! Boo hoo hoo… Please let me off this time!” She quickly stepped forward and was about to pester Qin Dazhuang.
She was really panicking now.
The family head was serious this time. He even called her family over. How could she not be afraid?
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered. She took a step forward and directly gripped Madam Zhang’s two arms.
Then, with a slight twist, she restrained the person completely.
...
“Argh… Sanya, what are you doing? Let me go!” Madam Zhang cried out in pain. She wanted to scold her but eventually held her tongue.
Seeing this, the two elders of the Zhang family did not dare to step forward, but Zhang Dashui shouted at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Qin Sanya, what are you doing? She’s your stepmother!” His tone of voice was a little angry.
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at Zhang Dashui with displeasure, causing the latter to choke on his words.
The words that were left in his throat, which he intended to lecture Qin Xiaoyao with, were swallowed back.
“What stepmother? She’s just a big rat that stole our Qin family’s money.”
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Madam Zhang in disgust.
“I asked you to come here today to bring this rat back. Our Qin family will no longer have such a character here.”
Madam Zhang was shocked and immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“What’s the meaning of this? Qin Sanya, let me go!” She started to struggle.
Realizing that she couldn’t break free from Qin Xiaoyao’s grasp, Madam Zhang immediately looked at Qin Dazhuang.
...
“Master, what does Sanya mean by this? Master, say something!” As she shouted at Qin Dazhuang, Madam Zhang kept crying.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head. Seeing that her father didn’t say anything, she spoke again.
“What do I mean? Of course, it means my father is divorcing his wife!” she said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, Madam Zhang’s body went limp.
The Zhang family members on the opposite side were all shocked.
Zhang Dashui was the first to regain his composure and said hurriedly, “What… what divorce? Qin Dazhuang, what reason do you have to divorce my sister? She’s pregnant with your child!”
He didn’t dare to question Qin Xiaoyao, but directed his words at Qin Dazhuang.
“That’s right! Qin Dazhuang, what right do you have to divorce me? I… Boo hoo hoo… I’m pregnant with your son!” Madam Zhang also wailed and insisted that she was pregnant with a son.
Qin Xiaoyao found them very noisy and was about to reply.
Surprisingly, Qin Dazhuang finally spoke.
“Based on the fact that you helped outsiders and betrayed our family and stole from our family! You’ve violated the Seven Rules for Divorce!”
Without waiting for Madam Zhang’s reply, Qin Dazhuang continued, “I must have been blinded by lard to hand over the management of the household to you in the past!”
“And you have some nerve indeed. You took out all the money in our family and gave it to your brother, Zhang Ershui, and your maiden family.”
“Sanya is right. You, Madam Zhang… are a rat! A big rat that specializes in stealing from my Qin family!”
“It’s good that I divorce a rat like you! If we report this to the authorities, not only you, but also your Zhang family will not be able to escape!” Qin Dazhuang took a stumble after he finished speaking.
If not for Qin Erhu’s support, he would have fallen down.
When the Zhang family heard this, they were all aghast.
They had indeed received a lot of benefits from Madam Zhang, but Qin Dazhuang said that Madam Zhang had emptied out the Qin family’s coffers. The amount was definitely far more than what they had received.
Then, when they thought of Zhang Ershui, the Zhang family suddenly understood the big picture.
