179 Chapter 179: Madam Qian Came Back

She had more white hair, and had become thinner and more tanned.

As she hadn’t drunk any water for a long time, her lips were also cracked.

Coupled with her ragged clothes, she didn’t look much better than a beggar.

In reality, Madam Qian had regretted it long ago.

It was just that under the urging of her brother and sister-in-law, she had gone too far, so she did not dare to return to the Wang family.

When she first returned to the Qian family, she genuinely wanted to help the Wang family get the betrothal gift back.

However, her brother and sister-in-law, as well as her cousins, did not agree. They even advised her not to have any more contact with the Wang family.

They claimed that everything was the Wang family’s fault and even told her to stay with the Qian family with peace of mind. In the future, her nephew would take care of her when she was old.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she must have been blinded by lard and actually believed their nonsense.

Not only did she not ask for money from her cousins again, but when Wang Laoshuan and Wang Dashan came to her house, she even stepped up and told the Qian family to chase them away.

When they came the second time, the Qian family was even more ruthless and almost crippled Wang Dashan.

After that, the father and son did not come to her house again, and she finally felt at ease.

However, the situation changed very quickly.

Her cousin, cousin-in-law, and even her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all changed their attitudes toward her.

Where she used to get meat from them for all her meals, she now received only raw vegetables.

She had no choice but to cook for herself.

She could let this pass as she thought that she couldn’t always remain a guest at her maiden family’s house.

However, later on, they didn’t even send her vegetables and even made her work for them.

They even treated her like a servant but did not give her any pay.

She was naturally unhappy and started quarreling with her sister-in-law.

After that, she was beaten up by her nephew and big brother. They actually told her to get lost if she couldn’t stand it.

Get lost? She had already been divorced by Wang Laoshuan. Where could she go?

She could only run to her cousin and his wife’s house.

She had thought that her cousin and cousin-in-law would seek justice for her, but to her surprise, they all stood on her brother and sister-in-law’s side and spoke for them instead.

They even advised her to stay at her brother and sister-in-law’s house and to listen to them.

Otherwise, if she were really chased out of the house, she would be homeless.

Of course, she felt aggrieved and immediately demanded that her cousin and cousin-in-law return the money.

However, the two persons’ attitudes changed immediately.

The last bit of patience those two had was exhausted, and they took up a rod and drove her away outright.

They also said they would never return her the money, and that the money had already been split between their family and her brother and sister-in-law’s family.

She felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her when she found out about this.

That night, she wanted to run back to Brook Falls Village.

However, when she thought of what she had done to Wang Laoshuan and Wang Dashan, she was too ashamed to return.

Hence, she could only return to her brother and sister-in-law’s house and turn into their servant completely.

She had thought that on account of their blood ties, everything would be better after her brother and sister-in-law calmed down.

Contrary to her expectation, the situation did not improve but deteriorated further.

No matter how much she did for her brother’s family, no matter how much work she did, they never seemed to see it. They would only think that she was a freeloader.

This time, when the Qian family’s village was preparing to flee the drought, they even chased her out of the house and made her go to Brook Falls Village to look for the Wang family.

She didn’t want to come back initially.

However, she recalled the attitude her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew held toward her. She knew that even if she escaped with them to avoid the drought in the Qian family’s village, she would probably be abandoned by them if they encountered any difficulties in the future.

Instead of letting them abandon her and leaving her to die by the roadside, she might as well return to Brook Falls Village.

At least the Wang family wouldn’t abandon her when they were fleeing.

“Let go!” Wang Laoshuan’s brows were tightly knitted, and he really wanted to kick Madam Qian away, who was clinging to him.

However, because of his weak character, he didn’t dare to kick her.

“No, I won’t let go! Boo hoo hoo… Master, I really know my mistake now! You and Dashan must not abandon me!” Madam Qian cried even harder.

When Wang Dashan saw this, his brows were so tightly knitted that they were about to form the Roman numeral ‘III’.

He knew that his father couldn’t do anything to Madam Qian.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally walked out of the house.

Although Madam Qian had been divorced, she was still the one who gave birth to him, so he could not lay hands on her directly.

His father only knew how to be tyrannical at home, so Dashan could only look for his Grandma and Second Uncle to solve this matter.

When Madam Qian saw Wang Dashan leaving, an ominous feeling welled up in her heart.

“Dashan…” she quickly shouted, trying to call Wang Dashan back.

Much to her chagrin, Wang Dashan simply picked up his pace and walk even faster.

In desperation, Madam Qian quickly pulled on Wang Laoshuan’s pants.

“Master, quickly go after Dashan. Don’t let him look for anyone! Master!”

Seeing that Wang Laoshuan did not move, Madam Qian exerted even more strength.

“Hurry up!” She almost pulled off Wang Laoshuan’s pants.

Wang Laoshuan could only grab his belt tightly, but he still did not move.

After experiencing so many things, if he still didn’t know that Madam Qian was a scumbag, he must have possessed a pig’s brain.

At present, the family was leading a very difficult life. He and his son had to gather and sell firewood every day, and only then did they barely manage not to go hungry.

If they added one more person, they would definitely not be able to fill their stomachs.

Moreover, this woman only came to them because she had no one else to turn to and not because she had truly repented.

If he were to go soft on her now, she would trample all over him again in the future.

Madam Qian was quickly angered by Wang Laoshuan’s lack of response and finally got up from the ground.

“I told you to go after Wang Dashan. Are you deaf?”

“You gutless good-for-nothing! Hurry up and go after him!” As she spoke, she began hitting him.

If the soft approach didn’t work, she would use the hard approach.

She knew her man well. He would only respond when she treated him like this.

True enough, Wang Laoshuan did not dare to fight back against Madam Qian at all. Even though he was in pain from being pinched by Madam Qian, he still did not dare to retaliate.

Seeing this, Madam Qian became even more ruthless.

She kept pushing Wang Laoshuan to go after Wang Dashan.

Wang Laoshuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, refusing to give in.

In the Wang family’s courtyard, Madam Qian’s cursing and swearing began to grow louder.

After that, it didn’t take long for the commotion to attract the neighbors’ attention.

Some people came to the Wang family’s house to watch the show.

They saw that Madam Qian was already all over Wang Laoshuan and hitting him.

It was only then that Wang Laoshuan seemed to remember and quickly called for help.

Though the neighbors looked down on Wang Laoshuan for being useless, they still entered the house and pulled Madam Qian away.

At this moment, Madam Qian had almost turned into a mad woman, punching and kicking the people who came to break up the fight and even spitting at them.

She glared at Wang Laoshuan as if she wanted to gobble him up.

Wang Laoshuan did not dare to look Madam Qian in the eye at all. He only lowered his head gloomily, trying to relieve the pain in his body.

After a while, Old Grandma Wang arrived with Wang Dashi.

She saw that Wang Laoshuan’s face had been badly scratched by Madam Qian.

The clothes on his body had also been torn by Madam Qian, and Old Grandma Wang’s anger immediately surged.

“I’ll beat you to death, you bitch! How dare you still come to our Wang family? This old woman here will beat you to death!” As Old Grandma Wang cursed, she raised her walking stick to hit Madam Qian.

When Madam Qian saw this, she immediately dodged.

Fortunately, the person who was holding Madam Qian was afraid of getting implicated, and he let go of her.

Thus, after being hit twice, Madam Qian broke free from the person restraining her and regained her freedom.

“You bitch! You still dare to dodge?” Old Grandma Wang was furious. She waved her walking stick and continued to chase and hit Madam Qian.
