Chapter 542 - 536_1
However, speaking of Zhang Qiusheng, he had led ****** back home, and as soon as he entered the door, he slapped ****** twice, then locked the person in a room and forbade anyone to see them.
Zhang Qiusheng’s mother and father had no idea what had happened, unsure why as soon as their son returned, he had hit their precious granddaughter, especially Chen Family, Xiao Yu’s own mother. Seeing the two handprints on her daughter’s face, her eyes reddened with pain.
"Child’s father, what are you doing? If Xiao Yu did something wrong, you should teach her properly. Why must you be so ruthless? After all, she’s a girl who will have to marry someday. If you damage her reputation, what will become of her future?"
"This reprobate girl, it’s because you all spoil and indulge her that she has become this willful, daring to do anything, even bold enough to scheme against the master of the house. If it weren’t for my face still carrying some weight with the madam, our family would not be facing such a dire situation. I regret ever having such a daughter. Marry off? After doing such a shameless act, who would dare take her!" Zhang Qiusheng was filled with anger that finally burst forth when he got home, growing angrier the more he spoke, his gaze turning somewhat distasteful toward his wife who knew only how to dote on their daughter.
"What exactly happened, child? Is it really that serious? What did Xiao Yu do?" The old Zhang couple were shocked by their son’s words, their attitude immediately shifting. After all, Zhang Qiusheng was their own son, and although they were fond of their granddaughter, she ranked below their son. They hurriedly asked for clarification.
"Sigh." Zhang Qiusheng originally didn’t want to talk more about the matter, but he didn’t want his parents and wife to continue indulging their daughter unchecked either. Discipline was needed to prevent future trouble. Besides, the matter of Fangcao entering the house also needed to be clarified with the family. He sighed deeply before sharing what had happened.
As the old Zhang couple listened, they were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe that their granddaughter would do such a thing. In an era where women were conservative and lacking status, if any woman did something to violate societal norms, not only she but her entire family would be scorned and criticized by those around them. And what Xiao Yu did today, the whole village probably knew by now, not just an ordinary breach of norms, but colluding with another man, trying to scheme against her own father, and getting her own father involved in the mess. Such outrageous incidents were unheard of in their simple mountain village.
"I’m too ashamed to even mention it. Tell me, what kind of mess is this? My face has been completely lost by her. How can I ever face anyone again?"
