After the marriage, the charming educated youth is eye-catching
Chapter 297: Favoring boys over girls seems to be the norm in every family, but she doesn't wan
Of course he didn't know that Meng Zhiwei was just too lazy to argue about many things before. Besides, this was his wife's parents' home after all, so he would not embarrass his wife.
It was just their kindness and concessions that made the Shen family feel that they were easy to bully.
There was a constant quarrel outside, and Old Mrs. Shen felt furious when she heard it. She felt that Meng Zhiwei had come to provoke her and slap her in the face.
"Hel me up!"
Shen Xiu was worried about Lin Ziqiu and was a little absent-minded. She didn't care much about Meng Zhiwei coming.
She was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Mom, you're not well yet, let Zimo handle the things outside!"
Old Mrs. Shen was very stubborn. She threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed. "Everyone is bullying me! They just want to piss me off to death!"
"mom……"
"Hel me up!"
Shen Xiu couldn't persuade her, so she had to help her to the living room.
Outside, Shen Zimo was stopping Meng Zhiwei from entering the backyard.
"Meng Zhiwei, you're so arrogant! This isn't the military! Do you still want to hit someone?"
Old Mrs. Shen's skinny hands were tightly leaning on her crutch, her fingertips trembling slightly with anger, and her voice rose high, so sharp that it seemed to cut through the air.
Shen Xiu was afraid that her mother would faint from anger again, so she quickly helped the old lady sit down and warned Meng Zhiwei, "Xiu made her mother sick. If you are here to apologize on her behalf today, please speak nicely. After all, we are all family."
"If you're here to cause trouble, leave now!"
Meeting her condescending gaze, Meng Zhiwei's aura was fully released. He had no intention of flattering them at all, and even thought that her words were too ridiculous.
He retorted sarcastically, "Just now, my brother-in-law said that the old lady was too sick to get out of bed. I see that she is in very good spirits. My wife is a very mild-tempered person. She wouldn't even step on an ant if she met one on the road. You said she made the old lady so angry. So, how badly did you bully her?"
Old Mrs. Shen's face turned red instantly, and she stared at him with wide eyes. The anger in her eyes seemed to be able to burn people.
"You shameless bastard! Don't think you're so great just because you've made a name for yourself! I didn't agree to Xiu marrying you in the first place. It was your smooth talk that tricked her into following you, a soldier, all the way to such a faraway place and suffering! If you hadn't instigated it, how could she have harbored resentment towards us? It's all your fault!"
"You're still biting back, saying we're bullying her? I gave birth to her and raised her. Everything I did was for her own good!"
If you want to add guilt, why bother?
Meng Zhiwei found it funny and pulled the corners of his lips.
Every time Shen Xiu returned to her parents' home over the years, he was unhappy, but he also knew very well that his wife would be humiliated if she returned to her parents' home, so he didn't want her to return to Su City.
But that was where his wife grew up, and those people were her family who gave birth to her and raised her, so even though he felt sorry for his wife, he respected her choice and never tried to stop her.
"Forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like is for her own good? Under the guise of doing what's best for her, you're wantonly manipulating her life! You want her to marry someone you pick, but you're just using her as a tool to gain power and wealth!"
Old Mrs. Shen's face froze, and a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes.
Meng Zhiwei threw their truest thoughts and expressions out in the open and mocked them, just like throwing their most caring faces on the ground and stepping on them.
"You-you shut up!"
Shen Zimo became furious and swung his fist towards Meng Zhiwei.
With his mediocre kung fu, he is no match for Meng Zhiwei.
Meng Zhiwei easily caught his swung fist and pressed it down on the chair in a few seconds.
"Zimo!"
Old Mrs. Shen frowned, fearing that her son would be beaten to death. She said sternly, "Meng Zhiwei, do you really think that we Shen family members are easy to bully? Let my son go immediately! Otherwise, I..."
"Otherwise, you're going to put pressure on her again and force her to break up with me, right?"
Meng Zhiwei chuckled twice. He had already experienced the old lady's little tricks.
There are actually mothers who would sow discord between their daughter and son-in-law in order to highlight their own status, and even want them to divorce.
They said it so nicely at the beginning, saying that the past was over, but in fact, it had never been over.
It just changed from the initial scolding to all kinds of soft knives, piercing people's hearts, and each one was fatal.
Shen Zimo was pinned down by him and couldn't break free at all, but he thought Meng Zhiwei wouldn't really hit him, so he said loudly: "If she didn't pity you, do you really think she loves you that much? After all, you are just an outsider. Do you think she can really sever ties with us for you?"
Back then, her mother had only said a few soft words, but Shen Xiu still rushed back crying and apologizing.
As he finished speaking, Meng Zhiwei's hands that were shackled on his back gradually loosened.
Shen Zimo thought he was scared and curled the corners of his lips proudly.
But the next second, a scream was heard, "Ah——"
Shen Zimo was completely unprepared and was kicked in the chest by the other party.
His entire body flew backwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.
Shen Zimo was smashed against a nearby wall, dust falling from the wall. He collapsed to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief and deep fear.
"Zimo!"
Old Mrs. Shen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She wanted to go forward but was stopped by her eldest daughter.
Meng Zhiwei walked towards Shen Zimo step by step. His military boots stepped on the ground, making it seem to tremble. He looked down at the disheveled man under his feet like a superior, glancing at him as if he were examining an ant.
"Shen Zimo, do you really think I don't dare to hit you?"
"In my eyes, you, the arrogant brother-in-law who relies on your family background, are nothing but shit."
"Without the Shen family, you are nothing, and you still pity me?"
After a pause, he squatted down and lowered his voice, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, think about it carefully. Next time, I won't just kick you lightly."
A light kick?
Shen Zimo's eyes flashed with fear, and he screamed, "Madman! You're a madman!"
He was already weaker than average, and his alcoholism and smoking habits had left him vulnerable to any blow. Meng Zhiwei hadn't really kicked him to death, otherwise, he wouldn't have just spit out blood.
Everyone in the Shen family was frightened by Meng Zhiwei's attitude.
Especially Shen Wufan, she finally saw through him. She used to think Meng Zhiwei was a paper tiger, but now it seems that he is clearly a wolf who kills without blinking an eye!
She held her mother's hand tightly and refused to let go, fearing that Meng Zhiwei would get angry and beat anyone.
What's more, Shen Zimo deserved it because he had to provoke others. Originally, Meng Zhiwei coming to the Shen family at this time must be no good.
Seeing that Shen Zimo was really scared this time, Meng Zhiwei didn't want to continue beating him. He was too weak to be beaten.
After all, due to his current identity, if Shen Zimo took off this military uniform, he would definitely die or suffer a miserable death today.
But there is still a long way to go. If the Shen family still refuses to behave, don't blame him for taking real action.
"And...what are you still standing there for! Come and help me up!"
Shen Zimo didn't dare to get angry at other people, so he yelled at his wife.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family is named Qian Danqin. She was already very frightened, and she actually hated her husband Shen Zimo in her heart.
But because of the saying "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog", she has always been used to being suppressed in this family and has no say at all.
She even secretly thought that Meng Zhiwei's kick just now was... so cool.
After being yelled at by Shen Zimo, Qian Danqin could only go up to help him up even though she was reluctant. "Are you...are you okay?"
"I'm vomiting blood, what do you say? Why don't you go call Dr. Du over!"
Shen Zimo was helped up, but he was so angry that he secretly pinched his wife's waist hard.
Qian Danqin gasped in pain and her eyes turned red.
"Yes...I'll go right away..."
Qian Danqin endured the pain and forced back her tears. After helping Shen Zimo to his seat, she ran to make a phone call without stopping.
Old Mrs. Shen stepped forward and wiped the blood from the corner of her son's mouth distressedly, "What a sin this is!"
Shen Zimo was her only son. From childhood to adulthood, she and the old man were reluctant to even scold him, let alone hit him.
In addition, the Shen family has a good reputation, so basically no one would go out of their way to give face to the Shen family and cause trouble for Shen Zimo.
So this was the first time that Shen Zimo was beaten.
He was in so much pain, especially in his chest, that he coughed several times. Old Mrs. Shen was heartbroken and started scolding Meng Zhiwei, "If anything happens to my son, Meng Zhiwei, don't even think about having a good life!"
As soon as the words fell, a familiar female voice came from the distance, "Mother is so arrogant! My eldest brother said you were so angry that you couldn't even get out of bed. I see you're still pretty strong. Since you've always treated my husband as an outsider, what gives you the right to teach him a lesson today?"
Shen Xiu is here.
Song Hui hurried but still arrived late.
Look, his beloved uncle is bleeding.
Meng Zhiwei frowned slightly and glared at Song Hui with a reproachful look. He originally wanted to come here alone.
I just don't want Shen Xiu to be caught in the middle.
Shen Xiu protected her nephew behind her and walked towards him. She looked him over carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that nothing was wrong.
"If you do this behind my back again, I'll be mad."
Shen Xiu punched him lightly on the chest and said, "Not everyone is worth your attack."
"I got my hands dirty for nothing."
Meng Zhiwei was originally a little worried that he had injured his 'brother-in-law' and that his wife would be unhappy, but now that he saw that she was actually feeling sorry for him, he suddenly grinned and said, "I'm a rough man, and my hands are stained with more blood than sweat. Those blind people have wronged you, and as a husband, I certainly can't just sit back and watch."
"I can't even bear to say a word to my wife, so why should I let others bully me? Do you really think I'm dead?"
Seeing her husband standing up for her, Shen Xiu felt a sense of regret. He was a free and easy-going person, but in order to consider her feelings, he had been holding back his temper all these years.
This time he saw that he had finally resisted, so he thought of settling the score with the Shen family.
Shen Xiu's eyes were red, and she held his hand with some heartache, their fingers intertwined.
At this moment, she felt as if there was endless power supporting her, making her feel fully confident.
Some things should have been said long ago.
"Mom, big brother, I know you've been holding a grudge against me for insisting on marrying Zhiwei, but you're the ones who said you'd let go of the past, and you're the ones who tortured me bit by bit. I'm a human being, not a puppet you can torment!"
She took a deep breath, as if to pour out all her grievances, "Let's make things clear today."
"If you keep accusing me of being unfilial, I'll admit it. I, Shen Xiusheng, was born cold and heartless. From now on, we owe each other nothing, and don't even think about trying to influence me anymore!"
After a pause, she continued, "As for Xiaoqiu, Big Sister, I know you want to take her back, but if you really care about her, you should set her free instead of trapping me with you like my mother did."
"I'm here today to make my stance clear: Xiaoqiu doesn't want to acknowledge her relatives, and I support her."
Everyone at Shen's mother was extremely shocked, especially Shen Wufan. She had originally thought of going to her younger sister to talk to her softly and then ask her to help persuade Lin Ziqiu.
But I didn't expect Shen Xiu to be so decisive!
"Xiu! You...how could you think that! We are a family! Even when Meng Zhiwei came home and beat Zimo up like this today, I didn't say anything. How could you be so rude!"
Shen Wufan is actually selfish in her heart, otherwise Shen Zimo would have been kicked to the point of vomiting blood, but she still stopped her mother from going.
In this family, from childhood to adulthood, all the good resources have been given to Shen Zimo.
However, Shen Zimo's talent was mediocre, and all his sisters in the family became stepping stones for his career.
Even though she ended up getting divorced and lost her daughter, she never regretted her choice.
Favoring sons over daughters seems to be the norm in every family, but she doesn't want to be a victim.
