992 You Are a Piece of Trash

“Do you know how much money your family took from my father! Do you know how much money your third brother lost at the casino! I guess you still don’t know how your third brother lost his little finger. He went gambling and couldn’t pay off the loan sharks and his finger was chopped off by the people he offended! My eldest brother and my father spent 100,000 dollars to save him! That was all the money which my grandfather and my family had! Otherwise, why do you think the entire family couldn’t even pool together 50,000 dollars when Third Aunt-in-law got into trouble,” Xia He said angrily.

Tan Jing did not believe what Xia He said at all. She had never heard of these things before, so how could Tan Bao have done all these? She believed that he did not have the guts to go gambling.

However… his little finger was indeed missing. Back then, Tan Jing had also asked him about this matter. Tan Bao said that his finger had accidentally gotten caught in the machinery at work, so Tan Jing did not dwell on the issue after that.

“Since you’ve raised this topic today, I’ll tell you everything that’s on my mind. Don’t make it sound as if our Xia family has mistreated you!” Xia He brought over a chair and sat down opposite Tan Jing. She had so much to say. It would take her more than three days and three nights to list down the things that the Tan family had taken from the Xia family.

“When it comes to your second brother, third brother and those kids in your family, their issues related to work and school were all resolved by my eldest brother. Do you think that it doesn’t cost money to make use of connections? Have you ever given my eldest brother money? It’s the Xia family who paid for everything! It’s my family who used our connections to help your family settle so many things!”

“It’s my father who asked someone from the community to help with the issue of your parents’ welfare payouts. Otherwise, how do you think your parents can so easily get a monthly subsidy of 50 dollars? Does money fall from the sky?”

“Also, your family would ask my father for money every now and then. All these years, my parents have given your family a total of 60,000 dollars. This is not even including the gambling debts incurred by your third brother!”

Every word that Xia He said was like a knife stabbing at Tan Jing. The slashes completely shattered Tan Jing’s self-esteem. It appeared that Tan Jing’s supposed good family background and understanding parents were all illusions and only a part of her imagination.

In actual fact, she was not worthy of Xia Wen at all. If she had not made use of a ploy back then, Xia Wen would not have married her. Everything had been a mistake from the start and she could not blame anyone else for the current situation.

“Alright, stop talking,” Qiao Mei said as she tugged at Xia He’s sleeve.

Unexpectedly, this small action agitated Tan Jing instead. Tan Jing stood up, rushed towards Xia He and gave her a slap. Xia He was stunned. No one had ever hit her since she was young. Even when the Kong family made things difficult for her, none of them dared to touch her.

Tan Jing actually hit her!

“You dirty whore! What right do you have to talk about my family! I’ll tear up your mouth today! How dare you spout nonsense!” Tan Jing started fighting with Xia He without another word.

At this moment, Xia He also came back to her senses. She pushed Tan Jing to the ground and hit her forcefully. Tan Jing was no match for Xia He and the situation quickly changed. Tan Jing went from having the upper hand to being the one beaten up and unable to fight back at all.

“How dare you hit me! Even my parents have never hit me! Even my eldest brother can’t bear to see me being bullied! How dare you hit me!” Xia He said as she kept hitting.

“So what if I hit you! Xia He, you’re a piece of trash! You were abandoned by your husband, how can you still have the cheek to go back to your maternal family! How can you still have any say in your maternal family’s affairs!” Even when Tan Jing was in pain from the beating, she still continued to scold Xia He. She would not let go of any chance.

Qiao Mei remained at the side and did not stop the fight. What Xia He did would be considered to be self-defense. Tan Jing might become much more well-behaved in the future after getting a beating. This could also be considered them helping Xia Wen to get his family affairs in order.

It was only when Tan Jing yelled out in pain and did not have any more strength to scold Xia He that Qiao Mei spoke up, “Elder sister, stop hitting her. She’ll die.”

After Xia He stopped, she even spat on the ground. She felt really sorry for Xia Wen. He must be blind to have married someone like that! No wonder Xu Lan and Xia Mao objected to this marriage back then.

“The two of you… I definitely will not let you off…” Tan Jing lay on the ground and glared fiercely at Xia He and Qiao Mei.
