Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 183 Imprisonment
After scolding her daughter, Li Hongying turned to Jiang Dahai and apologized, "Xiao Qing is just being silly, please don't hold it against her."

How could Jiang Dahai not be angry?

He may not say anything about his stepdaughter stealing his daughter's marriage, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have something to say about it.

Fortunately, the daughter was blessed with good fortune despite her simple nature, and she caught the eye of Zhang Jiaming's boss.

Otherwise, my daughter would probably have already been sent to the countryside by now.

Jiang Qing, however, was brought back to her senses and rationality by Li Hongying's slap, and remembered the purpose of her return.

“I can leave and never come back, as long as you can arrange a job for me, Uncle Jiang, or give me 50 yuan to settle down.”

After saying that, she ignored the shocked expressions on Jiang Dahai and Li Hongying's faces, picked up her bowl, finished the rest of her meal, and got up to return to the empty room.

The room originally belonged to Jiang Peng, and it was fully furnished with a bed, wardrobe, and desk.

Li Hongying usually keeps the place clean and tidy, and even though no one has lived there for two months, it is still spotless.

The faint sounds of Li Hongying crying and talking could be heard from the living room.

Jiang Qing lay down on the bed blankly, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

She knew her behavior was shameless and brazen.

But she had nowhere else to turn.

In truth, Jiang Moli is even more shameless than her, yet she's living a very successful life.

The next day, when Jiang Qing woke up, she saw Li Hongying sitting at the foot of the bed, looking at her with red eyes.

She pursed her lips and sat up in bed, looking at the bright and sunny weather outside the window, feeling completely relaxed.

Being well-fed and sleeping well is truly comfortable.

"Xiao Qing, here's 5 yuan. Take it back with you, okay? Be a good girl."

Looking at the five yuan Li Hongying handed her, Jiang Qing couldn't help but feel annoyed and embarrassed: "What can you do with five yuan? Is he trying to give it to a beggar?"

Li Hongying stared at her blankly, her eyes filled with astonishment and helplessness.

He seemed unable to understand how his sensible daughter, who had been so sensible since childhood, could have become so sharp-tongued and selfish.

“This money wasn’t given to me by your Uncle Jiang; I borrowed it from someone. Your Uncle Jiang has been very good to you; he gave you 66 yuan as a bride price when you got married. How can you still have the nerve to ask him for money?”

Jiang Qing wouldn't listen to any of that. "I've already said, either give me a job or give me 50 yuan, otherwise I'm not leaving."

"you……"

Just as Li Hongying was about to scold her, there was a sudden knocking sound at the door.

Li Hongying had no choice but to open the door.

Where is Jiang Qing?

Upon recognizing Jin Yulan's voice, Jiang Qing's expression changed. Just as she was about to hide under the bed, a relative spotted her.

"At this!"

Jin Yulan rushed in, and seeing her was like seeing an enemy; she stepped forward and slapped her twice.

"You jinx, you dare to come back with your shameless arrogance! Go ahead and run, why don't you run now!"

Not satisfied with cursing, he raised his hand to slap Jiang Qing's face again.

Jiang Qing instinctively resisted, but was restrained by several relatives brought by Jin Yulan.

The sound of slaps echoed continuously.

Jiang Qing screamed in agony as her cheeks quickly swelled up like steamed buns.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting, let's talk this out."

Li Hongying, who was blocked at the door, was so anxious that tears kept falling.

“Mother-in-law, if you can’t educate your daughter well, our Zhang family will help you educate her. You just need to watch from the sidelines.”

A relative pushed Li Hongying out while shouting loudly.

Inside the house, Jiang Qing struggled desperately, but the rural women were used to farm work and were just as strong as adult men, pressing her down tightly.

She could only glare at Jin Yulan with resentment.

"What do you want to do?"

"You dare glare at me again? Believe me or not, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Jiang Qing closed her eyes in fright, "Help...!"

Snapped.

Jin Yulan slapped her across the mouth.

Jiang Qing broke down in tears, crying, "Mom, Mom..." Li Hongying was blocked outside the door and paced anxiously.

The sounds of beating, cursing, and crying quickly attracted neighbors from upstairs and downstairs, who surrounded the Jiang family's house in layers.

Jin Yulan dragged Jiang Qing around and paraded her around: "Everyone, come and see! This jinx! She's spouting nonsense and caused her father-in-law to be blinded!"

"She didn't even behave like a proper wife and ran off by herself, spreading rumors and causing trouble outside, and now she's been chased back! How shameful!"

"My Zhang family has had the worst luck in eight generations to have married such a good-for-nothing!"

Faced with the pointing fingers and disdainful looks of her neighbors, Jiang Qing felt ashamed and indignant, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear.

Li Hongying was dumbfounded.

My daughter made so many mistakes that she was sent back home?

"Hongying, although you're not an easy girl to deal with, once you're in the Zhang family, you're one of us. I'll take you back now. Let's go!"

Jin Yulan and several of her female relatives forcibly dragged Jiang Qing away without saying a word.

Li Hongying couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to run to find Jiang Dahai.

"Dahai, go and plead with Tiesheng to stop Yulan from hitting Xiaoqing. She's pregnant; what if she gets seriously injured?"

Jiang Dahai was already disheartened by his stepdaughter's cold-heartedness and selfishness, and no longer wanted to meddle in her affairs.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qing is carrying the Zhang family's bloodline. Your sister-in-law knows what she's doing."

He paused, then added, "What Xiao Qing did was really outrageous, and she deserves to be taught a lesson."

Li Hongying cried uncontrollably.

She knew her daughter deserved it, but after all, she was her own flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to abandon her.

……

Along the way, Jiang Qing asked for help from everyone she met.

Most passersby watched coldly, and even the one or two kind-hearted people who occasionally encountered her were afraid of Jin Yulan's fierceness and dared not interfere.

Jin Yulan wasn't afraid. If anyone dared to stop her, she would expose everything Jiang Qing had done.

The fact that she caused her father-in-law to be blinded by someone does not make her worthy of sympathy or pity.

When they returned to the village, the villagers all put down their hoes and carrying poles to watch the spectacle.

In front of the whole village, Jin Yulan gave Jiang Qing another severe beating to vent her anger.

Despite her wailing and crying, no one spoke up for her.

More than the physical pain, the humiliation of being publicly executed was what drove Jiang Qing to the brink of collapse, leaving her feeling ashamed and desperate.

In her panic, she suddenly came into view of her father-in-law, Zhang Tiesheng's face.

Zhang Tiesheng's face was blank, his left eye socket was deeply sunken because his eyeball had been removed, making his whole face distorted and ugly.

She froze, as if struck by lightning.

After learning that Zhang Tiesheng had lost an eye, she kept comforting herself, saying that he hadn't done it on purpose.

It was a twist of fate, or Zhang Tiesheng's bad luck.

But seeing Zhang Tiesheng's blind and terrifying appearance with her own eyes, she still felt scared and regretful.

Boom!
Suddenly, a large cucumber was thrown from somewhere, hitting her head and face, and knocking her unconscious.

When she woke up, she was already in the mud-brick house she used to live in.

She forced herself to sit up in bed despite her splitting headache, only to hear a "crashing" sound.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw an iron chain hanging down from the roof, firmly fastened to her left ankle.

She stared at the chains for a while before realizing that she had been imprisoned by the Zhang family!
……

"Teacher Shen!"

Shen Yanzhi turned around and smiled at Lu Tingting with a hint of helplessness, "Teacher Lu, is there something you need?"

Lu Tingting looked at him and asked, "Are you annoyed with me?"

Shen Yanzhi honestly replied, "I am somewhat troubled."

"Then just say yes, and I won't bother you anymore."

Shen Yanzhi adjusted his glasses. "Actually, it's not that annoying."

Lu Tingting pouted and said angrily, "I'm going back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the last time I'm asking you!"
