153 Chapter 153: Taking Madam Zhang Away
The two elders of the Zhang family didn’t dare to say anything, but Zhang Dashui glared at Madam Zhang.
If Madam Zhang really emptied the Qin family’s coffers to continue to pay off his younger brother’s gambling debts, then he really couldn’t blame Qin Dazhuang for divorcing his wife.
Madam Zhang was so frightened by Zhang Dashui’s glare that she quickly looked away.
Zhang Dashui understood instantly. It seemed like what Qin Dazhuang said was true.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak up for Madam Zhang, Madam Zhang unexpectedly spoke first.
“Boo hoo hoo… Master, I… I didn’t mean to… Ershui… Ershui has already promised me that he will turn over a new leaf. He promised not to gamble anymore…”
“Boo hoo hoo… Please spare me this time… Master, I can’t leave the Qin family…”
“If you made me go, boo hoo hoo… What will happen to our son?” With that, Madam Zhang actually slumped to the ground.
How could Qin Xiaoyao let her have her way? She exerted force in her hand and lifted her up slightly, forcing her to stand up again.
Seeing her father looking at Madam Zhang’s tummy, Qin Xiaoyao quickly spoke.
“Hmph! You haven’t even given birth yet. Who knows whether it’s a son or a daughter?”
Without waiting for Madam Zhang’s rebuttal, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Also, the law doesn’t state that a husband can’t divorce his wife if she is expecting.”
After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at her father.
“My father now has my big brother, second brother, and me. He has both son and daughter. You think he will miss the one in your stomach?”
After giving Qin Dazhuang a reassuring look, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Besides, if the child of a woman with such a bad character like yours isn’t brought up well, wouldn’t the Qin family’s reputation be ruined if he ends up like you?”
As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she looked at the Zhang family.
“However, on account that this child is indeed my father’s child, our Qin family does not want to be too ruthless.”
“After you bring Madam Zhang back, you must take good care of her. When the child is born, send it to our Qin family.”
“On what basis?” Zhang Dashui forgot his fear and yelled back immediately.
“On the basis that the house your family is living in now was acquired with the money she stole from my family!” Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes widened as she stared straight at Zhang Dashui.
“Hmph! It’s fine too if you don’t want to!” Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyao changed her tone.
“Then we’ll go to the county government office and have the county magistrate charge Madam Zhang and your Zhang family with the crime of theft. Then, we’ll go to your house and confiscate the house to pay off your debt!”
As soon as Qin Xiaoyao said that, Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu’s eyes glowed with a murderous light, and they took a step forward in unison.
The Zhang family was so scared that they couldn’t speak.
Even Zhang Dashui didn’t dare to look Qin Xiaoyao in the eye again.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao was satisfied.
She turned to look at Qin Dazhuang.
“Father, bring out the divorce documents,” she said.
That was right. The divorce documents had been prepared.
When she returned home just now, she had asked Song Que to help her prepare them.
After she brought them over, she asked her father to sign them.
Now, they only had to wait for Madam Zhang to sign them, and the divorce documents would become valid.
Only then did Qin Dazhuang take out two pieces of paper from his clothes.
Seeing this, Madam Zhang shook her head and tried to escape.
“No! Master… I was wrong. I really know my mistake! Don’t chase me away! I don’t want to leave the Qin family!”
However, what kind of person did she think Qin Xiaoyao was? How could Qin Xiaoyao let her escape?
Qin Xiaoyao turned a deaf ear to Madam Zhang’s wailing and restrained her tightly. She then asked Qin Erhu to bring the divorce documents for Madam Zhang to sign.
Qin Erhu took the divorce documents from his father and walked forward.
Then, he ignored Madam Zhang’s struggling and made Madam Zhang sign the documents.
After signing, Madam Zhang finally lost all hope and started cursing at Qin Dazhuang.
Qin Xiaoyao became incensed when she saw that.
In the end, she simply gave her a big slap on the face, causing her to shut up.
Seeing this, Qin Dazhuang took a step forward, but he held his tongue.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao return Madam Zhang to the Zhang family.
“Take her back and remember to keep a close eye on her. If anything were to happen to the child in her stomach…”
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with killing intent as she continued, “At that point, it won’t just be houses. No one in your Zhang family, young or old, will have an easy time.”
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu took another step forward menacingly, showing off their bulging biceps to the Zhang family members.
The Zhang family had never encountered such a scene before, and they were all shocked into silence.
Zhang Dashui even took the initiative to restrain Madam Zhang, preventing her from rushing toward Qin Dazhuang.
In the current situation, the Qin siblings were all present. It was clear that they would not tolerate Madam Zhang.
Qin Dazhuang had also been convinced by the three siblings, and it was too difficult to change his mind.
Zhang Dashui could only think about their next step later.
Anyway, his sister was carrying the seed of the Qin family in her tummy, and the Qin family had also acknowledged this child.
There might still be a chance to turn this matter around.
Qin Xiaoyao was satisfied when the Zhang family didn’t say anything else.
She reached out and took the two sets of divorce documents from her second brother’s hands.
After that, she retrieved a copy and handed it to the old man of the Zhang family.
“Take her back.” Then, she looked at Madam Zhang in disgust.
The old man of the Zhang family didn’t dare to take it, so he looked at Zhang Dashui.
Seeing Zhang Dashui nodding at him, he reached out with his hand to take it.
After that, he led his family away and was ‘sent off’ in disgrace by the Qin siblings.
Qin Xiaoyao brought Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu along and followed them all the way until they chased the whole family out of the Qin family’s premises. Only then did they close the door and turn back.
At this moment, Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law, who had been hiding behind the door of the hall, also stuck their heads out, their faces full of joy.
Their young sister-in-law was really amazing. She actually solved the problem with just a few sentences.
At this moment, Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu both heaved a sigh of relief and looked at their younger sister with admiration.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled back at the two of them and then looked at Qin Dazhuang, who was still standing at the door.
At this moment, Qin Dazhuang looked a little sad, but his expression seemed more relaxed.
He did have some feelings for Madam Zhang, but no matter how deep his feelings were, they had all been obliterated after all these events.
Qin Xiaoyao walked toward Qin Dazhuang and returned the remaining set of divorce documents to her father.
Thereafter, she said something to Qin Dazhuang.
Everyone watched as Qin Dazhuang entered the room alone.
Following that, he walked out again after a while.
“Don’t just stand there. Is the food ready?” He immediately said. His voice was already full of energy.
Eldest Sister-in-law was the first to come back to her senses and responded, “It’s ready! I’ll set the table now!”
With that, she led Second Sister-in-law to the kitchen and got busy.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and reached out to help Qin Dazhuang.
“Let’s go, Father. Let’s eat!” she said.
Qin Dazhuang replied in the affirmative and allowed his daughter to help him walk.
In the Qin family’s main hall.
When Qin Dazhuang and Qin Xiaoyao arrived, the dishes were already served.
There were three meat and three vegetable dishes respectively, which were much better than the Qin family’s usual fare.
Of course, this was because Qin Xiaoyao had returned to her parents’ house. It was also because the two sisters-in-law were grateful that their young sister-in-law had returned to help.
During the meal, no one in the family said a word, and they all focused on eating.
After a while, Qin Dazhuang finally sighed and spoke first.
