Chapter 199 Disappointment
Only Zhang Qiaoyan seemed to take pleasure in others’ misfortune as she said, "Hmph, the Shang Family is truly formidable. Well, let her, Shang Hongying, stay at her parents’ home. I don’t believe the Shang Family can keep her forever. If they really can, it will just save our household some food."
Zhang Dongze stared at his sister with disbelief. He had not expected that this was the same person who’d always talk about having finished high school, never considering how difficult it was for their parents and Big Brother to be caught in the middle. And here she was, making cold remarks at such a time.
He remembered what his wife had said to him yesterday, that she wanted to split the household because life had become unbearable. His younger sister-in-law did nothing at home, always stirring up trouble, and his wife was tired, no longer wanting to ’stir the same pot.’
So he stood up with a mocking laugh and said, "Dad, Mom, aren’t you going to do something about this? Do you really feel comfortable only once you’ve completely disrupted my little family?"
After saying this, he grabbed three buns from the table and started walking out. Zhang Qiaoyan said, "Big Brother, what am I supposed to eat if you take the buns?"
Zhang Dongze replied, "These are what I’m entitled to; I earned work points for them with my labor. You should earn your own work points if you want to eat. Aren’t you a high school graduate? You can’t even sort out such a simple matter."
Without looking back, he left, leaving the Branch Secretary couple stunned in place.
Zhang Branch Secretary could no longer eat; he sighed and said to Wang Chunnian, "Bring some things over today and go to the Shang Family to bring our daughter-in-law back. You and Qiaoyan go together."
Zhang Qiaoyan was unhappy to hear that she had to go too, slammed her chopsticks down, and said, "Why should I have to go? If she doesn’t want to come back, then she doesn’t have to."
