Chapter 588: Chapter 588

"Qin Dazhuang, what do you mean by this, you’re not even taking care of your old mother anymore? I’ve raised a thankless wretch!"

Mother Qin was startled.

If she didn’t have money in hand, what would happen to her daughter, or herself? Rely on this son? Just look at what this son has become now.

Don’t think she doesn’t know, gambling outside all day, coming home drunk and hitting his wife—how on earth could she rely on such a son when she’s old?

"If you say I’m a thankless wretch, then that’s what I am. Let me tell you, if I’m out of money in the future, you’re on your own. Now, I’m going to my mother-in-law’s house to pick up my wife. Can you do without a daughter-in-law? If I don’t have a wife, who’s going to cook for me and wash my clothes?"

Qin Dazhuang exuded arrogance as he got up and left.

Leaving Mother Qin to curse angrily.

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.

Qin Dazhuang straightened himself up and went directly to Jiang’s house.

Before he entered, he decided that as soon as he got in, he would kneel down and admit his mistakes, slap himself, admit every wrong—anything to coax Jiang Xin back.

His parents-in-law are soft-hearted people, and even more so is Jiang Xin.

Just like he said, if Jiang Xin doesn’t come back,

how can he live alone? He never even considered divorce; no matter what, he still has a wife and child.

Even if he doesn’t have a son, he will have Jiang Xin when he gets old; as long as Jiang Xin is there, someone will care for him when he’s old.

He never relied on anyone else, really.

As soon as he entered!

Qin Dazhuang fell to his knees right in the courtyard.

"Jiang Xin, I was wrong. I drank too much yesterday, and I didn’t realize I’d lost my mind to the point of hitting you. I was wrong."

With a snap, he slapped himself twice.

Qin Dazhuang genuinely exerted strength; two slaps turned his face red. Hearing the noise, everyone inside came out immediately.

Crying, Qin Dazhuang held Jiang Xiaoxiao’s leg when he saw him, "Dad, I was wrong. I’m a scoundrel. I didn’t expect to get drunk and start hitting yesterday. It’s all my fault. You can hit me, scold me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very easygoing.

Qin Dazhuang was certain that Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t actually hit him; knowing the temperament of his in-laws, they wouldn’t do such a thing.

This family cares too much about face.

His strategy was shameless indeed, using shamelessness to confront other people’s sense of dignity.

If you’re shameless, you’re invincible.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t lay a hand on him.

Jiang Xiaoxiao signaled to Jiang Lei and Fan Jianguo with a glance.

Without a word, Fan Jianguo and Jiang Lei rushed forward as they planned yesterday.

The family had held a meeting.

Fan Jianguo, Jiang Lei, and Qin Ming all went out to inquire about the situation, and indeed they found out the truth.

Qin Dazhuang had been up to no good for over a year, gambling and playing cards with others, losing quite a bit of money—at least over a thousand bucks.

And it’s rumored the bets are getting bigger.

At this point, even Fan Xiuying and Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand Qin Dazhuang anymore.

They didn’t support their daughter getting a divorce, but gambling was no small matter.

Many people, due to gambling, sell their children, even lose everything, their family destroyed.

Though they didn’t want their daughter to divorce, they couldn’t just watch her stay in this pit of fire.

As Jiang Xiaoxiao put it, gamblers have no morality; selling children is minor.

If one day he sells his wife too, can Jiang Xin’s personality survive that?

More importantly, Qin Dazhuang hits people too; it’s not just gambling, but hitting his wife.

With all these factors combined, Qin Dazhuang’s crimes were endless.

"You son of a bitch still have the nerve, daring to hit your wife! Not only that, but you’re also gambling outside, buried under debt. You think we don’t know? You’ve lost over a thousand yuan inside and outside.

I’ve found out already—not only that amount, but you also owe three to four hundred bucks more on IOUs."

Fan Jianguo kicked him over.

Jiang Lei punched him, giving him a black eye.

Qin Dazhuang, usually big and tough, used to always be the one hitting others.

He was never on the receiving end.

The brother-in-law always seemed unserious, but he never made a move on him.

When he did, Qin Dazhuang realized people had been holding back; his punches were hard and powerful. One punch and he saw stars.

"How dare you gamble! Have you turned rebellious? You dare to beat my sister? I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be hit. She’s a woman. You should be taking care of your wife, protecting her.

And what do you do? Use your ’skills’ to hit your wife at home."

Jiang Lei showed no mercy.

Seeing his second sister in such a miserable state, he was enraged.

Since young their parents taught him to cherish girls, to protect them even if he joked around with them. Though he wasn’t married, he always knew his sisters needed to be loved, who knew they’d get beaten up by others when married?

His good relationships with his brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law’s brothers stemmed from their good nature. His eldest brother-in-law guarded his elder sister and kids tightly.

He could suffer wrongs himself, but his wife and kids would never be wronged.

Once, when his sister encountered hooligans on the road who blocked her bike and made obscene remarks, the eldest brother-in-law hit them from the back with a brick, breaking their heads and drawing blood.

For that, the eldest brother-in-law was detained for three days.

He even told those locked with him that if anyone dared to bully his wife, he would take their life.

Scared them to repeated apologies.

That’s what a real man is.

But Qin Dazhuang always seemed peaceful, speaking softly, yet secretly going back to hit his wife and kids.

Is that something a human would do?

Still gambling now; what if desperation drives him to wager the second sister and kids one day.

Jiang Lei was utterly ruthless, punching and kicking.

His sister told him not to hold back, to teach Qin Dazhuang a lesson so severe he would be afraid.

To avoid vital spots but not worry about breaking arms and legs.

To show him the Jiang family wasn’t easily bullied—there were people backing them.

Even if he reported them afterward, no fear; even the police would see it as a family matter.

These abusive men often use it as an excuse, Jiang Xiaoxiao had a pre-prepared one.

Qin Dazhuang’s plan failed.

Brutally manhandled to the ground.

Fan Jianguo, Qin Ming, and Jiang Lei teamed up for a triple beatdown.

Qin Dazhuang truly regretted it.

Why did he foolishly come and get himself beaten ? If he’d known, he wouldn’t have come at all.

He could’ve just secretly wooed Jiang Xin outside; getting her back would be fine. But now, beaten heavily.

For the first time, he realized his in-laws genuinely wouldn’t hold matters against him in the past.

But now laid bare—he alone couldn’t stand up to this family.

And his father-in-law hadn’t even intervened yet, nor had Song Moting shown up.

If all these people acted, he’d have no ground to stand on.

Qin Dazhuang crouched on the ground, bruised and battered.
