The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband
Chapter 18 Leaving in Anger
Looking at Tong Qian's appearance, Ji Xiuping felt a deep sense of pity. What kind of parents could treat their child like this? He had previously thought that Qian'er was just a bit spoiled, but in the end, he had been spoiling her. As long as he could continue to spoil her, there was no problem.
But she never imagined that such an obedient child was being forced by such parents to endure so much that she shouldn't have to bear it. She glared at the Tong family parents with hatred.
"Uncle and Aunt, I always think of you as Qian'er's parents. As long as your requests are not too unreasonable, I don't want to say anything. I'll just satisfy them. After all, I'm willing to spoil Qian'er."
"But I never expected that you had always treated Qian'er this way. If I had known that you were treating her this way, I would have filed a lawsuit against you in court long ago. How could Qian'er have suffered such injustice?"
Hearing Tong Qian's detailed explanation, the villagers felt even more disgusted with the Tong couple. They only knew that Tong Qian had dragged Ji Xiuping down, but they didn't know there was such a complicated relationship between them, so they all condemned the two of them.
Seeing that his situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Tong's father instantly felt that Tong Qian must have done it on purpose, deliberately making him lose face in front of the villagers, and he just stared at her with a sinister look.
He said, his emotions unclear, "Tong Qian, do you think you can deny the fact that you are my daughter by saying this, or do you think you can cover up the fact that you are unfilial?"
Tong Qian never expected her father to say such a thing at this time. Although her values had already been challenged by them before, she still didn't expect him to say such a thing with so many people around.
She was somewhat stunned as she stepped out of Ji Xiuping's arms. Although her face still looked pitiful and endearing, she was secretly sneering in her heart that her father was truly leaving her no way out.
"Father, daughter, daughter is not unfilial. It's just that this time the family really has no money. Otherwise, daughter would never dare not buy mother that hairpin. Even if Brother Xiuping blamed me before, I never said anything, did I? Father, please don't blame your daughter. Don't let anyone take your daughter away."
Hearing Tong Qian pleading with her father, Ji Xiuping felt a pang of sympathy. Hearing the condemning voices from the villagers around him, he said to Tong Qian's father, "Uncle, I didn't know before, and I almost wronged Qian'er, but now that I know, I will definitely not let you bully her."
"Now that all the villagers are here, I might as well be disrespectful and say to my uncle, to put it nicely, that I was just doing my filial duty on behalf of Qian'er. Even if I did what I did before, it was enough."
Seeing the various expressions on the faces of the people around him, he no longer cared about any principles or social norms and continued, "To put it bluntly, Qian'er was bought by me. Since she came into our family, she has had nothing to do with you. No matter how she is doing here, it is none of your business to comment."
"Qian'er can't bring herself to say anything unfilial, and she's afraid you might do something bad to her. But for Qian'er's freedom, I have to say something in front of so many villagers. If there's nothing else going on, I hope Uncle and Aunt won't come and disturb Qian'er's normal life anymore."
Brother Wang was quite pleased to hear Ji Xiuping's sharp and stern words. Let that man surnamed Tong insult his wife. No matter how much gossip she might have, no one else had the right to say anything.
Aunt Wang, however, did not have such a good temper. She had come here under the banner of supporting Tong Qian, and now that she had the opportunity to confront the Tong family, how could she let it go so easily?
"Father Tong, Mother Tong, the villagers previously thought that Qian'er was just spoiled and deliberately dragging Young Master Ji along, but little did they know that there was more to this story. Qian'er is still a young girl, how could she bear such a terrible thing as you described? Moreover, you are still her father. Even if she is no longer your daughter, how can you treat a young girl like this?"
Hearing Ji Xiuping's words and the Wang couple's embellishments, Tong's father knew that he was not going to have a good ending here. He coldly said, "Whether you are my daughter or not, the kindness of raising you for so many years can never be erased."
After saying that, he looked around at the people gathered around him, and at Tong's mother, whose face he had already slapped, and said angrily, "Hurry up and leave, are you going to stay here and be made a fool of as a monkey?"
Seeing her husband's angry expression, Tong's mother naturally didn't dare to say a word of dissent. In fact, she had already felt the mocking looks from the people around her from the very beginning. Now that she could finally leave, she hurriedly followed Tong's father and left the small courtyard.
As Ji Xiuping watched the two leave, he gently patted Tong Qian's back and softly comforted her, "Qian'er, don't be afraid. From now on, your brother Xiuping will protect you and will never let them bully you again. You can stay here without worry."
Having said that, he took a step forward, clenched his fists, bowed to the villagers, and said loudly, "Thank you all for speaking up for Qian'er today. If it weren't for you, I don't think Qian'er would have suffered any injustice today."
"If Qian'er has offended anyone before, then Xiuping apologizes on her behalf. I hope that you will not have any other negative opinions about her in the future."
Seeing Ji Xiuping bowing to those people for her sake, Tong Qian felt particularly bad. She stepped forward and placed the object in front of Ji Xiuping. With a firm look in her eyes, she said to the crowd, "Dear uncles, aunts, and elders, if Qian'er has done anything wrong before, I hope you can forgive me."
"Brother Xiuping was dragged down by me before. Even if everyone thinks I'm bad, please don't blame Brother Xiuping. He's a very good person. It's just that Qian'er was really in the wrong before." As she said this, she slightly curtsied and bowed to the villagers.
Seeing how hastily things had ended, and considering the attitudes of the two people, no one could say anything more. They all left the courtyard, but their hearts had changed a lot. Even if Tong Qian had done something before, it was all because of her father. Now, it seemed that the most hateful person was not Tong Qian, but her father.
