Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Favoritism_1
“Village chief, I asked you here today because I knew that this would be the outcome. I hoped that you could help solve this matter, which cannot simply be swept under the rug.”
With these words, Father Yun turned his gaze to Zhang Jiang.
Zhang Jiang took a deep breath, “Big brother, sister-in-law, today I’ll call you my kin for the last time. From now on, we’ll sever all ties. Today it’s my wife, and I fear next time it’ll be my son or even me. Growing up, I wore your hand-me-downs, ate your leftovers, and watched you eat when there was merely one steamed egg. I’ve been giving in to you for all these years, but not this time. From now on, we are no longer brothers.”
Then Zhang Jiang turned to Mother Zhang, dropped to his knees with a thud, “Mother, I always knew you favored my big brother. But this incident with my wife has shattered my heart. From now on, please forgive me for being unfilial. I suggest you stay with my big brother! I beg you.” He finished and kowtowed to Mother Zhang.
Mother Zhang looked in disbelief at her kneeling son.
And Father Zhang didn’t know what to say to his wife, just realizing that their youngest son had been concealing his feelings all these years.
“Father, please forgive your son for his disobedience. I fear that the same incident may happen again.”
Seeing the two old folks would go with her, Li Juhua immediately intervened, “No way, I disagree.”
Yun Lei wasn’t afraid of Li Juhua’s tantrum.
“It doesn’t matter whether you disagree or not, you’ll have to face the consequences.”
The village chief cleared his throat, “Zhang Ming, as the head of your family, you should follow what your younger brother Zhang Jiang said. Your mother has always favored you, and as the elder son, it’s your duty to care for your mother.”
Zhang Ming kept silent, head bowed down.
Yun Lei snorted disdainfully, looking contemptuously at Zhang Ming.
“She has two sons. Let the younger one take care of her.” Li Juhua spoke with a complacent tone.
Seeing Zhang Ming’s reaction, Yun Hai frowned, “I truly wonder if you are really a man.”
It was this comment that finally triggered Zhang Ming into action. The next moment, the sound of a slapping echo.
“She’s my mother. If you don’t want to take care of her, then return to your parents’ home with me. This is enough, enough!” All these years, his parents had always been giving in to her. His younger siblings too. But she kept taking advantage of their kindness. Look at what kind of child she has raised.
Li Juhua, touching her face, stared at Zhang Ming in disbelief. She never thought her normally meek husband would dare to hit her now.
“You’ll pay for this!” Li Juhua immediately launched herself at Zhang Ming.
It could be the crowd, or maybe just the slap he just delivered, but years of pent-up emotions erupted in Zhang Ming.
Clearly, a man’s strength and a woman’s can’t compare. At first, Li Juhua had the upper hand, but gradually, she began to falter.
The members of the Yun family and Zhang Jiang just watched. No one stepped in to break up the fight.
Seeing Zhang Ming beat up Li Juhua, Mother Yun had to suppress her urge to cheer.
Only Zhang Yunxuan was looking at the scene in fear. Mother Yun saw this and quickly covered the child’s eyes, not allowing him to watch.
Mother Zhang watched in shock. Her son, who was usually bullied by his wife, now dared to hit Li Juhua.
Zhang Ming hit harder and harder, and still no one intervened.
Only when Li Juhua was lying on the ground, groaning in pain, did Father Zhang finally stop Zhang Ming by shouting out, “Enough.”
Zhang Ming immediately dropped to his knees, “Father, I am sorry for being such an unfilial son all these years. Since I married this shrew, I’ve barely been able to speak freely in my own home and was too afraid to even suggest bringing you to live with us. I want to divorce her now. I cannot live with this woman anymore.”
