Mdm Luo looked suspiciously at her daughter, only to see that her face was as pale as paper and her body was trembling.
“Xiaohua, don’t scare me!”
Mdm Luo hurried to help her sit down.
“Hah~”
When Mdm Xu saw Zhang Xiaohua’s expression, she sneered and said, “What chastity are you talking about? Are you trying to make Ah Qin the father of your child?”
“I… I…”
Zhang Xiaohua pulled Mdm Luo back and said with trembling lips, “They… They drugged me. No wonder I felt something was amiss when I woke up that day. So…”
Towards the end, Zhang Xiaohua covered her face and wept.
Lu Sheng clicked her tongue lightly and did not speak.
The Zheng family spent thirty taels to find a woman for their son to carry on the family line.
Did Zhang Xiaohua naively think that they would let her off?
“What’s going on?”
Zhang Hui heard Zhang Xiaohua’s cries the moment he entered. His face darkened when he saw the He family.
“He Qin, how dare you bully my sister?”
He Qin glanced at him lightly before walking past him.
“Hey, don’t go. Make yourself clear!”
As Zhang Hui spoke, he reached out to grab He Qin. However, He Lai and Lu Ran pulled him back.
Lu Ran said expressionlessly, “My uncle didn’t bully your sister.”
“That’s right!” He Lai agreed and snorted coldly at Zhang Hui.
The duo released their grip at the same time and followed He Zhang and He Dong out.
Zhang Hui was careless and fell to the ground. He hurriedly got up and shouted at the few people who had walked out, “Don’t go! Make yourself clear!”
A passer-by stopped and looked at him curiously.
When Zhang Hui saw someone, he hurriedly said to the crowd, “He Qin led the He family to bully my sister. Everyone, tell me. Is this what a man should do?”
“Hey, watch your words.”
Mdm Xu strode forward and said unhappily, “You just entered and didn’t ask what happened before screaming and saying that our Ah Qin bullied your sister. What a joke. Who can bully your family?”
Everyone had seen what the Zhang family had done in An Mu Village. Moreover, He Qin was an honest man. How could he bully Zhang Xiaohua for no reason?
“Is there a misunderstanding?” a woman asked.
“Everyone knows our Ah Qin’s personality, right?”
Mdm Xu looked at everyone and said, “Our Ah Qin just got engaged to a girl from the Duan family not long ago. Zhang Xiaohua went to the Duan family today and even warned the girl to break off the engagement. Tell me, how can there be such a shameless person in this world?”
An aunt who lived near the Duan family stood up and said, “I heard about this too. Zhang Xiaohua did find the Duan family and even quarreled with Duan Yu’s wife for a while.”
Everyone sighed when they heard that.
Zhang Hui’s expression changed.
He and his wife, Mdm Wang, schemed against his sister, Zhang Xiaohua, for thirty taels. They even lied to his mother, Mdm Luo, that the family was very rich. They even said that Zhang Xiaohua would definitely be able to lead a good life if she married over.
After getting the thirty taels, he confessed to Mdm Luo.
After all, a son was more important than a daughter. Hence, even though Mdm Luo knew that her daughter had been tricked by her son, she only scolded Zhang Hui a few times and did not say anything else.
However, Zhang Xiaohua blamed Zhang Hui. In the two months since she returned, she did not speak to her brother or sister-in-law.
Mdm Luo promised her that she would help her get a divorce and even supported her getting close to He Qin.
