After pondering for a moment, Su Ye walked directly to Su Tao and Qin Shi and said in a deep voice:

"Why are you in such a hurry, girl? How could I, as your father, not feel sorry for you? I was just saying those things in the heat of the moment. I was just thinking that you're already married and still being bullied by your in-laws. You're really useless. Come on! I'll get revenge for you right now!"

Seeing that her son was sensible and understood her meaning after only a few words of persuasion, Granny Liu quickly stepped forward and said to Su Tao and Qin Shi:

"You two stop crying here. Let's go to Zhangjia Village and talk things out. I'll go and get Uncle Niu to take us there in his oxcart!"

Su Tao was still feeling bad and didn't want to forgive Su Ye so easily, but when she thought about going to Zhangjia Village to face Liu Shi's sour face and her mother-in-law's timid manner, she couldn't help but nod to Su Ye and Granny Liu.

Seeing that Su Tao had agreed, Granny Liu didn't delay. She quickly went out to find Uncle Niu to drive the oxcart and called everyone onto it. She wanted to splurge a little, thinking that if she went to Zhangjia Village, Aunt Zhang wouldn't dare to neglect her.

After all that busy work, it was noon when everyone arrived at Zhangjia Village. As soon as Granny Liu got off the car, she asked Qin to knock on the door. The door was opened from the inside after only a few knocks.

The person who opened the door was Zhang Guang. Upon recognizing the newcomer, Zhang Guang frowned slightly, then put on a smiling face and said to Qin Shi and Su Ye:

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, what brings you here? Please come in and have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Qin rolled her eyes at Zhang Guang.

"How could things possibly get any better if we didn't come? My daughter has been bullied to this state, and you, as her husband, don't even know what to do!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang sniffed and smiled sheepishly:

"I'm in the city all day, aren't I? I'm always busy with work there, so I don't have time to go home. I just heard from my sister-in-law and the others that it was just some trivial matter, nothing that would bother you to come all this way."

Qin snorted coldly.

"What's the big deal? It's just a trivial matter. Does it really warrant your sister-in-law hitting our daughter?"

As she spoke, Qin grabbed Su Tao's arm, rolled up her sleeve, and pushed her towards Zhang Guang.

"Look at what's happened to her arm! And her face! Our daughter may have married you, but she didn't expect to suffer like this with you! Does she think she can cause trouble as the eldest sister-in-law?"

Looking at the bruises on Su Tao's body, Zhang Guang was at a loss for words. There wasn't much going on in the city today, so Zhang Guang had taken the day off to go home, intending to see his mother and, by the way, his wife. But he hadn't expected that as soon as he arrived home, his sister-in-law would pull him aside and start crying.

It is said that Su Tao is of no help in any major or minor matters at home. It is also said that she paid money to marry a pampered girl who only knows how to enjoy herself and does not know how to do any work. When her sister-in-law disciplines her a little, Su Tao can't stand it and runs back to her parents' home.

Zhang Guangben was worried about how to go to the Su family to bring Su Tao back. Now that he saw Su Tao had returned on her own, he was naturally happy. However, he never expected that Su Tao would bring her parents-in-law and Granny Liu back with her. It seemed that the Su family had come to demand an explanation.

Even though Liu's words were incredibly eloquent, Zhang Guang couldn't help but harbor resentment towards her. After all, she was his new wife. She had only been married for a few months, and he hadn't even laid a hand on her yet. How could she, as his sister-in-law, be disciplining his wife?

He had caused himself so much trouble, resulting in his in-laws coming to his door to confront him, making him lose face in front of Su Tao's family.

Thinking this, Zhang Guang didn't say much, and could only pretend to be concerned as he stepped forward and grabbed Su Tao, asking her with concern:

"Wife, do your injuries hurt? I'm so sorry you had to suffer with me. I deserve to die. I had no idea you were being treated so badly at home, and I even had to trouble your parents to come with you. If you had any problems, why didn't you come to the city to find me? I would have stood up for you."

Before Su Tao could speak, Granny Liu, who was standing to the side, said coldly:

"Today, we'll see how you're going to stand up for Su Tao!"

After saying that, Granny Liu didn't wait for Zhang Guang to lead the way and strode into the main house.

Qin Shi Jiang helped pull Su Tao away from Zhang Guang's hand and followed behind.

Su Ye glared at Zhang Guang and then followed him into the house.

Just then, Aunt Zhang heard the commotion outside and was about to get up when she saw Granny Liu storming in aggressively.

"Oh, you're sitting here so comfortably, not even caring that your daughter-in-law has been beaten and driven away."

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to speak, she saw Liu Shi walk in aggressively.

"Who do you think you are, coming to someone's house in the middle of the day during lunchtime!"

Upon hearing Liu's words, Qin was filled with rage.

"What, does your restaurant not welcome guests? If you're unwilling to let guests eat, then don't do something against your conscience and bully your sister-in-law back to her parents' home. I've never seen anything like this in my life!"

Hearing Qin's words, which sounded like she was there to interrogate him, Liu didn't give her a friendly look either, glaring back at her and saying unhappily:

"Now you've heard it, the world is full of wonders, and you're still so young!"

Upon hearing Liu's words, Qin was furious and said:

"Hey, what are you saying? I'm your elder, after all. Is this how you talk to me?"

As she spoke, Qin turned to look at Aunt Zhang, who was sitting to the side, looking restless.

"Is this how you discipline your daughter-in-law, my dear in-law?"

Before the older woman could speak, Liu hurriedly added:

"It's none of your business how my mother-in-law disciplines her daughter-in-law. If you're so capable, have a son of your own and go and manage your own daughter-in-law. How come nowadays anyone can come and act as the head of our Zhang family!"

Su Ye, who was standing to the side, stiffened upon hearing Liu's words. He was already annoyed because he didn't have a son to continue the family line, and now that a junior like Liu could use such words to ridicule him, Su Ye was definitely not willing. So he stepped forward and sat down, looking at Aunt Zhang and saying:

“In-law, that’s not very nice of you. Now that we’re here, you’re letting your eldest daughter-in-law come out and make a scene. She’s a junior, and she’s lecturing us. Are you really not going to do anything about it?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's face stiffened. Her eldest daughter-in-law had never listened to her, and now, in front of outsiders, she showed her no respect whatsoever. Unfortunately, the old man was henpecked, and she simply couldn't control her eldest daughter-in-law. Hearing Su Ye's words, she felt her face turn red and then pale, then numb.
