Aunt Jin knew from their expressions that Xu Guilan hadn’t told her family anything.
She glared fiercely at Xu Guilan.
Then she explained the whole incident from start to finish.
After hearing this, Xu Guilan’s parents were extremely shocked.
Guilan’s father turned his head toward his daughter and asked, "Guilan, you tell us, what should we do?"
He didn’t question the authenticity of the accusation, as it was unlikely that his own sister would fabricate lies.
Xu Guilan shuddered. "...My mother-in-law might have been deceived by others too... surely she didn’t know... Daquan said he is willing to pay for my treatment, and afterwards... we will live a good life together..."
Aunt Jin...
This damn fool!
Being harmed like this, and yet still contemplating living happily with them.
If it had been her own daughter, she would have slapped her twice.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, I’ve told you all I know. You should watch over her now since she can’t think clearly. You must stay alert. And, with that family’s issues yet unresolved, don’t let them show their faces around the Rong family anymore. Alright, it’s too late now; I need to hurry back."
"...Alright, you take care on your way back," said Guilan’s father, who was furious by then. Upon seeing his sister leave, he emotionlessly closed the door.
Turning around, he swiftly approached Xu Guilan and slapped her across her face.
The slap was so forceful that it turned Xu Guilan’s face to the side.
Xu Guilan burst into tears from the pain.
Upon seeing her husband raise his hand again, Guilan’s mother exclaimed, "Old man, don’t hit her anymore... whatever happens, let’s deal with the Zhao family first..."
Guilan’s father thought it through; she was his only daughter, and he couldn’t let that family get away with bullying her.
"Let’s go to the Zhao family... you go call our son, the entire family will go..."
Xu Guilan hadn’t cried out when she was initially hit, but upon hearing her father declare they would confront the Zhao family.
She sobbed, "Dad, dad... let’s not... let it go! I don’t want to pursue this matter..."
Old Lady Zhao had been detained at the police station today but had not been released.
Because she didn’t admit to the crime.
However, Zhao Daquan and Xu Guilan were set free.
Zhao Daquan reasoned with Xu Guilan using persuasion and pleading... asking her to go to the police station tomorrow and state that she wouldn’t pursue the matter.
Then, they as a married couple could live a good life in the future, and besides, Zhao Daquan was willing to pay for Xu Guilan’s medical treatment.
So, late in the night, Xu Guilan rushed over to the Rong family, because getting treatment was a priority for her.
And she was worried that delaying might complicate things, so she pleaded with Rong Yan first.
But she did not expect that woman to be so hardhearted; even when she knelt to beg, she was refused.
Not a semblance of sympathy—aren’t we all women? Couldn’t she just help her?
At this point, if her parents caused a scene at the Zhao family, Zhao Daquan would definitely blame her... would he still be willing to pay for her treatment?
Moreover, if her parents caused trouble, would Zhao Daquan not want her anymore?
Therefore, she mustn’t let her parents go and create issues with the Zhao family.
Guilan’s father was furiously inflamed by her words.
"They’ve harmed you to the point of sterility, yet you still defend them—do you still want to stay in that household?"
Guilan’s mother was also deeply disappointed.
"Guilan, are you out of your mind? With such a serious matter, if our family doesn’t step in... will the Zhao family even treat you as a human being? We need to show up and support you; otherwise, you’ll really be degraded to death..."
Their daughter... she had never seemed so foolish.
She had stubbornly insisted on marrying Zhao Daquan, which her mother had opposed, but ultimately, after much persistence... even threats of suicide arose.
What choice did her parents have?
They had to agree to the marriage.
Later, when their daughter failed to conceive, they suspected it was an issue with their own daughter, so even though she wasn’t treated well in the Zhao family, they didn’t intervene.
However, they hadn’t realized how vicious that family was; Old Lady Zhao was inhuman... actually poisoning her daughter-in-law.
That truly deserved divine punishment.
Xu Guilan’s complexion turned deathly pale, and she frantically shook her head: "No, no, it won’t be like that... I’ve talked it over with Daquan..."
Her father, exasperated by her words, no longer wanted to speak with such a fool. He grabbed a stick and stormed out.
Guilan’s mother, terrified by her husband’s demeanor and fearing he might impulsively do something drastic, hurriedly shouted into the house, calling her son out.
