Ms. Zhang cried uncontrollably, collapsing onto the ground, her body trembling with anguish.
why? why
Her mother-in-law had already made up her mind to support Ms. Yan without even considering her side of the story. She didn’t believe a word Ms. Zhang said and continued to humiliate and torment her.
Ms. Zhang felt herself spiraling into madness.
Ms. Yan, who had been angry about the false accusations, unexpectedly felt a tinge of compa.s.sion towards Ms. Zhang. She could see that Ms. Zhang was truly suffering in this terrible situation.
Nis. Zhang had never imagined that her mother-in-law would completely lose trust in her. It was fortunate in a way, as she no longer had to struggle to defend herself.
After cursing Ms. Zhang, Ms. Niu sneered and turned to Ms. Yan, speaking in a gentle tone, “It’s getting cold outside. Let’s go inside.”
Ms. Yan was taken aback but nodded in agreement.
Ms. Zhang’s heart ached as she witnessed this interaction. She struggled to rise to her feet and spoke angrily, “l know all of you hate me! But what have I done? If it weren’t for your coldness and hostility, I could have lived a peaceful life and cherished my own children!”
Ms. Niu turned back, her eyes filled with fury, and ordered Ms. Zhang to kneel down. “Your time is not up yet!” she spat.
Any remaining compa.s.sion Ms. Yan had for Ms. Zhang vanished as she replied, “Second Sister-in-law, no one owes you anything. You asked for money, but did you ever plan to repay it? You know very well that people are not obliged to fulfill your every request!”
Ms. Niu sneered in response. “Repaying money? Her worthless brother has nothing to repay!’
Nis. Zhang shot a fierce glare at Ms. Niu.
This only further infuriated Ms. Niu. “What are you staring at? Am 1 not allowed to complain about your worthless brother?”
Ms. Zhang, filled with anger and frustration, retorted defiantly, “I’m not leaving! You can beat me to death if you want! I’d like to see how capable you are! If you kill me, you’ll have to pay with a life! I’m not afraid of you! You can do whatever you want to me, but I’m staying right here!”
Both Ms. Yan and Ms. Niu were taken aback by Ms. Zhang’s outburst.
Realizing that she had reached her limit, Ms. Zhang decided to give up pretending and confronted Ms. Niu directly.
Ms. Niu, furious at Ms. Zhangs defiance, responded angrily, “What are you saying, Ms. Zhang? Say it again!’
“I’m not afraid of you! Drive me away if you want! You don’t believe me, and
Erlang won’t believe you either! ”
“You vile b.i.t.c.h! I’ll kill you!’
Ms. Niu, overcome with anger, rolled up her sleeves, ready to strike Ms. Zhang.
Reacting instinctively, Ms. Zhang dodged the slap and pushed Ms. Niu away.
“You dare to challenge me?!”
Ms. Niu, consumed by rage, lunged at Ms. Zhang, attempting to beat and scratch her. In the struggle, however, Ms. Niu slipped and fell hard to the ground.
“Ahh! You wretched b.i.t.c.h! How dare you lay your hands on me!”
Second Uncle, having just returned from outside, witnessed the altercation. He quickly approached and a.s.sisted Ms. Niu, exclaiming, “What are you all staring at? Come and help!”
Ms. Yan, still in a state of disbelief, snapped back to reality. She hurriedly joined Second Uncle in a.s.sisting Ms. Niu to her feet.
Meanwhile, Ms. Zhang remained where she was, displaying a seemingly emotionless expression. She had nothing to lose at that moment and was hesitant to intervene..
