Zhang Jisheng had it all planned out. He thought he would first present himself as the victim, using his parents and relatives’ ignorance of the truth to say that Qi Fenglian looked down on him for not being able to make money and was instigated by her brother and others to file for divorce.
He reckoned that if the issue blew up, Qi Fenglian would not dare to come back due to the judgmental eyes of their relatives. By dragging it out, and by sincerely admitting his mistakes, the subject of divorce would eventually fade away.
Zhang Jisheng calculated meticulously, yet he didn’t realize that this move would only further infuriate and repel Qi Fenglian and her family, pushing the situation into an irreparable state.
They say that when a person acts foolishly, they truly become invincible. Zhang Jisheng was nothing more than a fool.
Zhang Jisheng’s intention was to vent to his parents and relatives, without considering that rumors always have a tendency to spread rapidly, reaching every corner of their village.
Mother Zhang was outraged upon hearing her son’s words. She had been tirelessly helping Qi Fenglian take care of the children at home, and now, after gaining some worldly experience and earning a bit of money, Qi Fenglian dared to despise the Zhang family’s poverty?
When she heard that it was Qi Taiguo and his wife instigating it, she was furious. She immediately thought of when Qi Fenglian gave birth, and Qi Taiguo’s wife, named Cheng Su, was so domineering that she disregarded their wishes and signed off on a cesarean section.
With new and old grievances, Mother Zhang stormed with the children to the Qi family, hurling accusations of bullying, that they thought they were superior because of their official ranks, and intended to break apart their family, leaving the two children with no parents, which scared the children into wailing.
Mother Qi and Father Qi were bewildered. Out of nowhere, their in-law charged at them, hurling insults. What did it mean?
