Sister-in-law's words pierced my heart like sharp steel nails.
When Zhang Heng pursued me, he swore that he truly loved me.
Yet now, less than two months into our marriage, his true colors have been revealed.
He had been deceiving me all along!
Sister-in-law paused for a moment. "That day, I intended to talk to Zhang Peng about something, but I overheard the two brothers drinking and chatting."
"Zhang Heng even said that if he married a gentle woman, his mother would surely be pleased. Even if he divorced later, his mother would still stand by him."
Sister-in-law looked at me with a pained expression. "Tang Jing, the reason Zhang Heng married you is that his mother likes you. Just look at how you're being mistreated now; where is he to protect you?"
I cried even louder.
I had always thought Zhang Heng was a good man.
I never imagined that all his love was just an act.
Sister-in-law's words felt like a knife, stabbing deeply into my heart.
Zhang Heng was flustered, his face turning red. "Tang Jing, don’t listen to her nonsense! I am sincere about you!"
I shot him a fierce glare. "You're disgusting!"
Zhang Heng's gaze faltered. "Tang Jing, please don’t say that!"
Tears streamed down my face. "Zhang Heng, I must have been blind to have fallen for you!"
Sister-in-law scoffed. "Zhang Heng, you're such a coward! You can't even protect your own wife; what kind of man are you?"
She turned to me and said, "Jingjing, look at you! You've been wronged, and there's not even one person to stand up for you."
"When I first married into the Zhang Family, I was bullied a lot too. But I had Zhang Peng as my support! He stood up for me without a second thought."
"Even when my mother-in-law complained, he firmly stood by my side."
My sister-in-law nestled happily in Zhang Peng's arms and said, "Jingjing, Zhang Heng could never protect me like Zhang Peng does."
My sister-in-law had once been a daughter-in-law under her mother-in-law's thumb.
But over time, she gradually established her position in the Zhang Family with her strong personality.
Now, the Zhang Family regards her with some trepidation.
Especially my mother-in-law, who no longer dares to offend her easily.
Now it was my turn.
I had been married into the Zhang Family for less than two months, and my mother-in-law had already taken complete control over me.
Zhang Heng was utterly useless in this regard.
I covered my face and cried.
In that moment, I finally made up my mind to leave this disgusting man.
Zhang Heng, in a fit of anger, exclaimed, "Tang Jing, do you really need to cry this hard?"
I glared at him furiously and shouted, "Get lost! I never want to see you again!"
Zhang Heng raised his hand and swung it toward me. "Tang Jing, are you out of your mind?"
Before he could finish, my older brother grabbed his arm and flung him away.
"Zhang Heng, if you want to throw a fit, do it at me! Don’t you dare touch my sister-in-law!" he shouted angrily.
Zhang Peng slapped Zhang Heng on the head. "Second brother, have you lost it? How can you talk to her like that?"
Zhang Heng cried out in pain, "Big Brother! What are you doing?"
My brother's face was cold. "Is your sister-in-law someone you can insult?"
Zhang Heng hurriedly explained, "Big Brother, can you stop turning your elbow outward? Don’t you care about our parents' feelings?"
My brother snorted coldly. "Don’t bring our parents into this! Who paid for the renovations on their house last year? Who covered the medical expenses when Dad was hospitalized two years ago?"
"Even the house you're living in was bought by my sister-in-law! The place you're staying is jointly owned by me and my sister-in-law!"
"And what about you? What have you contributed to this family? You borrowed the bride price money and still have the nerve to act tough here?"
With that, my brother suddenly released his grip, causing Zhang Heng to stumble and nearly fall.
