Chapter 298 - 290: Zhong Yuying and Sisi’s Confrontation
Zhong Hongying and Zhong Yuying’s fierce sibling rivalry provided Yuequan Village with several days of gossip material. Naturally, everyone sided with Zhong Hongying and had quite a bit of criticism for Zhong Yuying.
On that day, Zhong Yuying was severely beaten by Zhong Hongying. Her face was still noticeably swollen despite using a cold towel all night, though her body was relatively unscathed, thanks to the thick winter clothing.
What was worse, Huang Debiao seemed to have begun believing the words of Zhong Hongying and the others in the village, constantly observing her quietly these past few days, seemingly probing for something.
Zhong Yuying cursed her luck internally. Had she known Zhong Hongying would go mad, she would rather die than return to her hometown in glory. Now, she had to figure out how to coax Huang Debiao; it was truly annoying!
Exactly how Zhong Yuying managed to coax Huang Debiao was unknown, but the effect was certainly remarkable. In just one night, Huang Debiao was utterly beguiled by Zhong Yuying, reverting to his former affectionate self, lavishing her with love both publicly and privately.
However, only Zhong Yuying knew in her heart that Huang Debiao still harbored doubts. She would have to put in more effort in the future to completely win him over and try to seize control of the family finances. As long as she held the money in her hands, she needn’t fear any man’s uprising!
During this period, Zhong Yuying and Huang Debiao were quite busy, buying lots of gifts for important relatives of the Zhong Family. Although people didn’t regard Zhong Yuying well, they welcomed the gifts, and thus received the couple warmly, allowing Zhong Yuying to regain some face in front of Huang Debiao.
Yet not everyone was swayed by material possessions. Zhong Shancai wasn’t impressed. He took the things Zhong Yuying had brought and gave them to Huang Debiao without even letting them inside, adding, "Yu Ying, now that you are married, live a quiet life, don’t be restless and covetous!"
Zhong Yuying was so angry she was crooked, hatingly taking the gifts back. Huang Debiao too hadn’t anticipated his wife’s uncle being so unyielding, not even allowing his niece to enter during the Pre-New Year Festival seemed too excessive.
But even more excessive events were yet to come. Zhong Yuying somehow decided to take the gifts to the Tian Family, whether to disgust the Tian Family or to disgust herself was unclear.
