Su Mingxian's words nearly drove Zhang Chunhua to the brink of madness. "You—how could you—"
"Enough, shut up."
Father Shen was a ruthless man, as evidenced by how he treated his ex-wife. Zhang Chunhua instinctively shrank back, not daring to speak further.
The people around them whispered and pointed, while Father Shen's face turned a deep shade of anger. Yet he forced himself to say, "Listen, Daughter-in-law, I know these years without Chi Zi at home have left you feeling resentful and wronged. But this is his choice; you can't blame anyone else. As the eldest son, it's his duty to earn a living for the family. Of course, your mother made mistakes in this matter. How about this: next time, buy a couple more pounds of meat for Qian Qian? That should be enough, right? Stop making a fuss over such trivial matters. It's embarrassing for everyone to know about it."
Su Mingxian felt utterly defeated. Could someone be this shameless?
She knew her father-in-law looked down on Shen Chi and their family, but she never expected him to be so cold-hearted.
"I'm making a fuss? Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs! Qian Qian is your own granddaughter, and yet this wicked woman nearly killed her, and you still blame me for causing trouble?"
Su Mingxian was already disheartened, and her gaze turned even colder. "Fine, I see it clearly now. Our family is nothing but an eyesore to you. Shen Chi works hard outside and sends back plenty of money for you all to spend, yet he can't even get a kind word in return. I've worked tirelessly to care for your entire family, and for just a piece of meat, you're willing to risk my daughter's life? Are you even human? This life is unbearable; we need to split up—right now."
As soon as those words fell, Zhang Chunhua's expression changed dramatically. She was the first to jump up and shout, "No way! I don't agree!"
"Nonsense! What do you mean split up?" Father Shen's face darkened immediately. "I'm still alive; this family isn't yours to command."
But Su Mingxian replied directly, "You're still alive, yes. But if we don't split up, I'm afraid I might end up dead—just like my late mother-in-law."
"You—" Father Shen's face flushed with anger as he raised his hand to slap her. However, Su Mingxian had anticipated this; she quickly grabbed Liu Juan beside her and swung her around.
With a sharp crack, Liu Juan covered her face and let out a piercing scream, "Ah—"
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
Father Shen's eyes instantly turned fierce, while Su Mingxian quickly shielded the children and retreated into the crowd.
"What do you want? Are you planning to kill me to silence me? If you want to keep something hidden, you must first refrain from doing it. If it comes down to a fight to the death, are we not going to split the family? Then I’ll go to the police station and report you for assaulting my daughter-in-law, child abuse, and premeditated murder. Just wait to rot in prison."
Boom—
The neighbors were left stunned. What was happening?
Is this girl out of her mind? Everyone had heard about the events from years ago, but was it really okay to bring them up so casually?
And why mention the police station?
The crowd felt a bit anxious.
Just then, a series of coughs broke the heavy atmosphere.
"Alright, everyone, let’s keep it down," came a voice.
As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
An old man approached, wearing a faded traditional Zhongshan suit and a gray liberation cap, holding a clay pipe in his hand.
This man was none other than Father Shen's elder brother, the Village Chief of Xiangyang Village, who held considerable respect within the community.
