Ms.Zhang's Return
Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs. Zhang's annoyance with Ms. Zhang grew stronger, as she believed her daughter not only brought no benefits to the family but also caused her precious son to be beaten. Consequently, Ms. Zhang was cast out by the Shao Family and forced to rely on her mother's support.
Mrs. Zhang's frustration escalated, leading to verbal and physical abuse towards Ms. Zhang. She compelled her daughter to rise before daybreak and perform exhausting labor in the fields, while intentionally depriving her of sufficient food.
Ms. Zhang received only half a bowl of rice and a bowl of rotten vegetables, devoid of salt and oil. She was constantly referred to as "the useless woman" and "trash" who only consumed without contributing anything positive to the family.
This treatment left Ms. Zhang feeling deeply saddened and burdened by guilt. She believed herself to be useless to her mother's family and accepted the curses and blame as her way of atoning for her perceived sins.
