Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 334 - 329: Complaining to the Villain

If there’s anyone Zhang Dong’s mother hates most, it’s women who provoke their daughters-in-law to death. Pointing at her angrily, she said, "She hanged herself, I didn’t force her. I was kind enough to speak to you, yet you retort like this, no wonder I didn’t fancy you back then."

"It’s fortunate Aunt Zhang didn’t fancy me, otherwise, it would’ve been me who hanged myself." Lin Qiao retorted with grievance.

Seeing Zhang Dong’s mother about to hit someone, Mrs. Wang stepped forward to shield Lin Qiao, "How could you be so heartless, driving your daughter-in-law to death, and now you want to ruin someone else’s young couple. Do you think your family is a treasure that everyone wants a piece of?"

"Even with a shop as a dowry, if I must say, with a mother like you, no family would want their daughter to marry even for a hundred shops."

Zhang Dong’s mother turned red and blue with anger, finally glanced at Lin Qiao and walked away.

Lin Qiao "huffed" silently in her heart, two retorts were already lenient.

At this moment, Li Guifen "rushed" over, just catching a glimpse of Zhang Dong’s mother, though she didn’t know what they talked about, it couldn’t have been anything good, otherwise, why would people be here to watch the bustle.

"You stupid woman, what do you want with my daughter!"

Zhang Dong’s mother was so angry that she stopped to retort, "You’re the stupid woman."

"Who is the stupid woman, you know it yourself at heart, if you have any shame, you wouldn’t loiter around others’ doors." Li Guifen stood with arms akimbo, as if ready to argue to the end.

"You have shame? If you had any shame, you wouldn’t let Song Tingfan marry your daughter!"

"Ugh, such a foul stench, really makes one want to vomit. Instead of minding others’ business, it’s better to pay more respects at your daughter-in-law’s grave, to avoid her haunting you at night."

"Li Guifen!!! I’ll tear your mouth apart."

"Come on! Who tears who! Whoever doesn’t act is the stupid woman. Your filthy mouth, I’ve wanted to tear it apart for long."

Before Lin Qiao could react, the two began to fight. Li Guifen actually grabbed Zhang Dong’s mother’s hair, while constantly cursing, "You stupid woman, worm from a foul ditch, so foul and disgusting..."

Lin Qiao didn’t need to worry about Li Guifen’s combat power, but still watched closely for fear she might suffer losses.

At that time, Lin Han and others also arrived. Lin Han, after giving his wife a glance, came to Lin Qiao’s side, panting, "Daughter, are you alright? Did you get scared? I’ll find a doctor for you."

Lin Qiao shook her head, "I’m fine."

"Good that you’re fine." Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, turned and said to his two daughters-in-law, "Go ’separate’ your mother."

As for how to separate them, Lin Xushi and Mrs. Lin Wu understood, hastily approaching, saying they were going to pull Li Guifen away, but ended up holding down Zhang Dong’s mother.

For a time, Zhang Dong’s mother was hit several times.

Mrs. Lin Wu anxiously shouted, "Aunt Zhang, stop fighting, stop fighting."

"Let’s talk this out, don’t resort to violence." Mrs. Lin Xu held Zhang Dong’s mother’s hand.

Lin Qiao’s mouth twitched, their bias was too obvious. Catching sight of Zhou Ping coming, she hurriedly clutched her stomach, "Dad, my stomach hurts."

Hearing this, Lin Han was momentarily bewildered, then urgently shouted, "Guifen, stop fighting, our daughter’s stomach hurts."

Li Guifen immediately stopped upon hearing this, rushed over to see her daughter frowning, and quickly supported her, "Hurry and call a doctor, quick."

"First carry the daughter inside, be careful." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Han quickly carried Lin Qiao inside, then ran out to call a doctor. Li Guifen anxiously paced by the bed while Lin Qiao secretly tugged at her, signaling that everything was fine.

Li Guifen was momentarily taken aback, then realized, gave her a reproachful look, how could she joke about her stomach.

Her eyes darted around, then furiously shouted, "That damned stupid woman, caused my daughter to fall ill, I’m going to beat her to death."

Zhou Ping was at the door, asking what had happened, roughly grasped the situation and upon hearing Li Guifen’s voice, glanced at Zhang Dong’s mother in displeasure, "Zhang Dong’s mother, you are being too absurd! Lin Qiao and Song Tingfan are married, and now even have a child on the way, yet you still want Lin Qiao to associate with your Zhang Dong."

"Have some morality, won’t you?"

"Still bringing up old things from years back, what’s there to talk about? If you have the time to think about others, why not reflect on yourself, which mother acts the way you do."

"A perfectly fine family, completely ruined, who do you think you’re hurting? Isn’t it just your family Zhang Dong, his hair white at twenty-something."

Already feeling wronged from being beaten, Zhang Dong’s mother now burst into tears, sitting on the ground and wailing, "How is it any of my business, I didn’t make her hang herself." Then burst into loud crying.

Because of Lin Qiao’s "quick wit," Zhou Ping had no reason to reprimand Li Guifen and the others, just stayed for a while and only left after the doctor said there was no major problem.

After he left, Li Guifen tapped Lin Qiao’s arm with a fierce look, "No more of this next time, how could you joke about such matters, if something really happened, it would be too late."

Upon hearing this, Lin Han realized his daughter had been pretending, and his heart finally settled, "My daughter, how could you joke about such a thing!"

Lin Qiao obediently admitted her mistake, "I won’t dare next time."

"Good that you won’t dare, why did Zhang Dong’s mother come." Seeing Lin Qiao sweating, Li Guifen fanned her with a palm fan.

Lin Qiao gestured no need, "She wanted me to take the shop as dowry into their family."

"I reckon her brains are pinched by the door, wanting a shop as dowry, as if they were some treasure." Li Guifen was instantly furious, then added, "With that family, even a daughter-in-law is hard to find, disgraceful!"

"The Zhang family is really annoying." Lin Han chimed in.

"Not just annoying, utterly disgusting." Li Guifen spat fiercely.

...

By dusk, Song Tingfan came back driving a carriage, Mrs. Wang Zhu from next door was just at the door collecting the laundry, "Tingfan, you’re back."

Song Tingfan nodded his head.

"Better go check on your wife, she was so vexed by Zhang Dong’s mother earlier, almost started bleeding," Mrs. Wang Zhu kindly reminded him.

Country folks have no particular merits but like to blow things out of proportion. For instance, Lin Qiao only had a stomachache, and now it has turned into almost bleeding.

Upon hearing this, Song Tingfan didn’t respond to her, hurriedly went inside. Lin Qiao just finished steaming rice in the kitchen, upon hearing footsteps, turned and looked over, "You’re back, I was just thinking about stir-frying some dishes."

Without a word, Song Tingfan scooped her up, striding into the room, then gently laid her on the bed, "Did you see a doctor?"

He looked somewhat angry, unclear if it was due to Lin Qiao or something else.

Lin Qiao blinked, understanding what he meant, guessed someone had told him, "Yes, nothing..." major.

Before she finished speaking, she stopped, then immediately hugged him, whispered with grievance, "Tingfan, Zhang Dong’s mother came to our door to bully me, wanted me to marry into their family, I was very angry and unwilling, I only want to be with you, then she scolded me..."

Before finishing, she started sobbing quietly, seemingly deeply wronged.
