Protagonist:
Chai Mi
Chai Zhongxiao put it that way, and the others tacitly agreed that the matter was dropped.
After all, it was nothing to be proud of.
They could only swallow their humiliation and pretend it never happened.
After all, since ancient times, no matter who it was, a daughter-in-law beating her mother-in-law was never something worth boasting about.
Chai Youqing, however, felt ill at ease, uncomfortable in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Just like that, it's over? Not to mention anything else, from now on, does Song Qiuping not see my mother once, beat my mother once?"
Chai Youqing asked himself, if his own wife Su Wan had even slightly resisted, let alone beaten Wang Huirong, Wang Huirong would have exploded.
But the second wife Song Qiuping beat Wang Huirong soundly, and the matter was just dropped so easily.
It was truly a case of double standards.
"What are you muttering about?" Chai Zhongxiao looked at Chai Youqing with a sideways glance.
"Dad, I just feel this matter isn't easy to handle," Chai Youqing said somewhat awkwardly. "As for this matter being dropped and turned over, I have no objection. But my wife is still making a scene at her mother's family demanding a divorce; seeing you old couple are so easy to bully, she won't stop until she kicks up a huge fuss."
"Ah..."
"Uh..."
Chai Zhongxiao was left speechless by Chai Youqing's words, and his face had already begun to darken.
Chai Zhongxiao did not want Song Qiuping's matter to become unpleasant.
First, because Song Qiuping's mother's family was powerful, Song Qiuping's family had money and ran a small general store—the only one in Sanjiacun—and earning a thousand or so a month was simple; the Old Song family was a ten-thousand-yuan household every year, and Chai Zhongxiao could not afford to offend them.
Second, Chai You Fu was a teacher; if this matter blew up, his own son's future would be affected. The Old Chai family had finally produced one such educated son; although Chai You Fu's education was not high and there was little room for promotion later, and he was approaching forty, so this was as far as he would go in this life, but to Chai Zhongxiao, their second son Chai You Fu was his only son he could show off...
As for Chai You De, although Chai Zhongxiao liked him more, unfortunately Chai You De was not ambitious.
Moreover, in Chai Zhongxiao's inner world, Song Qiuping's uncle was the village accountant, also a high-ranking, influential figure in Sanjiacun...
The Old Chai family's arms were not as strong as the thighs...
As the head of the family, Chai Zhongxiao was not afraid of Song Qiuping; rather, after comprehensively weighing everything, he made this "wise" decision of cold handling.
As for his wife Wang Huirong being beaten, was it not just a bruised and swollen face for a few days?
Although Wang Huirong's face was swollen out of shape, Song Qiuping was no better off either...
Chai Zhongxiao thought about it all night last night and decided that cold handling was still better.
Just quietly let the matter pass, and that would do.
Chai Zhongxiao called his several sons today because, after cold handling this matter, he wanted to regain some face as a father. Chai Zhongxiao thought that since Wang Huirong, as a mother-in-law, had been beaten, the matter would not be pursued, but he could not be beaten for nothing; someone had to pay some medical expenses...
Three sons, could they watch their mother being beaten without anyone paying money for her medical treatment?
So, Chai Zhongxiao felt that researching the matter of medical expenses was the real business.
But what did Chai Youqing mean...
Chai Zhongxiao glanced at Chai Youqing several times, but it was obvious Chai Youqing had no intention of taking back what he had just said.
"This... this... Eldest, you can't say that. The second wife is not easy either; she has been married into our family for over twenty years, we can't drive her to death, can we?"
