I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Congxian, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He glared at Li Ayu, then looked at Su Ye with a disappointed expression and said:

“Brother, you can’t just hit your sister-in-law like that without any explanation. No matter what, she is your wife. While you’re away, she’s the one who’s been supporting the family all by herself. It’s not easy for her either.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin looked at Su Congxian with gratitude and said:

"Third brother, thank you for speaking up for me. Please help me back to my room to lie down for a while."

Su Ye snorted coldly.

"What can a woman like her support? Now she's playing the victim. Where did all that bullying of Ayu go?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ayu, who was standing nearby, quickly clutched her stomach and groaned:

"Ouch, Brother Su, my stomach is hurting a little right now."

Su Ye hurriedly dropped the shovel and went to help Li Ayu up, not forgetting to glare at Qin Shi.

"If anything happens to Ayu, I'll beat you to death, you jinx!"

After saying that, he helped Ayu into the house without turning his head.

As Qin watched the two figures walk away, her eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing this, Su Congxian sighed helplessly and could only help Qin Shi back into the house. He really couldn't understand why his elder brother, with such a good wife as his sister-in-law, would still look for other women outside.

Now, for the sake of another woman, he's even threatening to kill his sister-in-law who's been with him for so many years.

The man whose wife had run away was thinking about her all day long, but his older brother didn't appreciate her at all.

After Su Congxian helped Qin Shi into the house, he asked with concern:

"Sister-in-law, should I go and fetch Doctor Li to take a look at you?"

Madam Qin smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"It's alright, I know my own body, no need to trouble yourself."

Su Congxian sighed.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Brother is just blinded by that vixen right now. He'll definitely see your good qualities in the future."

Qin gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"I no longer ask for these things. I just want to get Su Tao married off as soon as possible."

Su Congxian didn't know how to comfort Qin Shi, so he stood up and said to her:

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to my wife's parents' house to pick her up today. If you need anything, just tell Su Tao to do it. I'll come see you again when I get back."

Madam Qin smiled and nodded.

"Alright, hurry up and go. Lin has been gone for so many days now, it's time to go and bring her back."

After bidding farewell to Qin, Su Congxian took Su Qingsong to Lin's maternal home, Linggezhuang.

The two walked for a long time before arriving at Lingge Village. Su Congxian, the head of Lin's family, had only visited once before, when the two got married and came to pick them up. After that, Lin would return to her parents' home by herself every year for the New Year.

So, Su Congxian inquired his way to Lin's house and finally found it.

As soon as Su Qingsong entered the courtyard, he saw Lin feeding the chickens, so he hurriedly ran over and called out:

"Mother, Mother, why aren't you home yet?"

When Lin saw her son arrive, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

“Good child, your mother will never return to Sujia Village again. If you miss your mother in the future, you can come here to visit her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qingsong quickly grabbed Lin's hand and asked with concern:

"Mother, why aren't you going back? What will Father and I do if you don't come back?"

Madam Lin glanced at Su Congxian, who was standing behind her with a sheepish grin, then looked at Su Qingsong and said:

"I can't live in the Su family anymore. I'm planning to get a divorce from your father these days."

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian immediately rushed to Lin's side and said nervously:

"Wife, you can't talk nonsense. How can you divorce me?"

As he spoke, Su Congxian picked up the things he was carrying and handed them to Lin Shi.

“Look at me, you’re all I think about. I came here today especially to buy you your favorite candied fruit and pastries.”

Lin glanced disdainfully at what Su Congxian was holding, and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, did you steal your mother's money to buy this again? I dare not eat it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian awkwardly placed the things on the table in the courtyard, then gently took Lin's hand and said:

“Wife, what are you saying? My mother’s future will be ours. Besides, you know that my mother loves me the most. After she dies, I will definitely have the most inheritance. It’s no big deal for us to spend a little in advance.”

Lin glared at Su Congxian, then flung his hand away.

"I've been away from the Su family for so many days, and you're only coming to pick me up now? Let me tell you, it's too late!"

As she spoke, Lin threw the chicken feed bowl on the ground and looked at Su Congxian.

"Now that you've come today, let's discuss the matter of divorce."

Upon hearing this, Su Congxian hurriedly said with a worried expression:

“Wife, I was wrong, it’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry. I was angry that day, that’s why I hit you. Now I know I was wrong. Today I was the one who sent me to take you back.”

Lin snorted coldly.

"Do you think I don't know what kind of person your mother is? She's a miser, spending a little money from her is like taking her life. She can't wait to kick me out of the Su family. Do you think she would let you come to me? That's a joke!"

As the two were talking, Lin's mother, Granny Lin, also came out of the house. Upon seeing that the visitor was Su Congxian, she was immediately filled with rage. Several days had already passed...

She could still recall the day her daughter was beaten, her clothes disheveled, running back crying, one of her shoes missing, and both of her tender feet covered in blisters.

Now that Su Congxian dares to come to pick up people, he simply doesn't respect the Lin family at all. Thinking this, Granny Lin wants to get back all the beatings her daughter suffered.

So he picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the wall and started hitting Su Congxian without saying a word.

Su Congxian naturally couldn't just stand there and let Granny Lin beat him, so he started running around the yard.

"Mother-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry. I didn't come here to fight today. I came to take Lin back."

Upon hearing this, Granny Lin's anger flared even more.

"I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard! How dare you come to take my daughter back? My daughter hasn't enjoyed a single day of happiness since she married you. Every year during the Spring Festival, she goes back to her parents' home by herself. And you? Where the hell have you been?"

The fact that her daughter always went back to her parents' home alone during holidays was a thorn in Lin's side. On ordinary days, it was fine as long as her daughter was happy, but as an elder, she naturally couldn't incite the couple to fight.

Now that the daughter has been mistreated at the Su family's house and has run back to her parents' home, if we want to easily bring her back, we'll have to tell her all the grievances the Lin family has suffered over the years.
