TFWYH – Chapter 749 Repaying Evil with Kindness

“And what else could I mean?” Aunt Sun immediately recounted how Tang Wan had been cursed and insulted by the old couple when she came to their door back then. She added,

“Everyone in the neighborhood saw it. If you don’t believe me, ask them. Tiansheng, I’ve watched you grow up, and Yun-niang is a good girl, but your father-in-law and mother-in-law really didn’t act honorably.”

The neighbors quickly chimed in, clearly enjoying the chance to watch the Qin couple make fools of themselves.

“Madam Qin’s words back then were truly nasty. She accused the Tang family of deceiving them into the marriage!”

“Poor Wan-niang. She did everything she could for your wife’s family, only to be driven out in return.”

“It’s a good thing Wan-niang didn’t hold a grudge. She even arranged for people from her estate to continue taking care of their business. With Wan-niang’s status, getting revenge on these two old folks would have been the easiest thing in the world.”

“They’re fortunate they gave birth to such a sensible daughter. If not for Yun-niang’s sake, why would Wan-niang have repaid resentment with kindness?”

…

One comment after another.

The old couple’s faces turned bright red.

The truth was, they really had behaved badly.

After Qin Suyun married Tang Tiansheng, how had the Tang family treated her?

Saying they cherished her so much that they feared she’d melt in their mouths or break in their hands would not be an exaggeration.

Looking across all of Xiangxi Town, whose daughter-in-law controlled the household finances while her father-in-law was still alive?

Yet that was exactly how the Tang family operated.

If Qin Suyun hadn’t fallen into a nest of blessings, then what was it?

And what about the Qin couple?

When their daughter was living well, they smiled warmly at the Tang family and affectionately called them in-laws.

But the moment disaster struck, they turned their backs without hesitation.

Worrying about their daughter wasn’t wrong, but the way they handled it was truly distasteful.

And now?

Their daughter had returned with several chests full of gold and silver.

Their son-in-law had transformed overnight from a young butcher into a royal grandson.

Though they had heard that men in Feng weren’t particularly valued, he was still royalty, wasn’t he?

To ordinary people, anyone associated with the imperial family was a tremendously important figure.

Yet the old couple immediately changed their attitude.

Now they were once again calling him their wonderful son-in-law.

Listening to all this, Tang Tiansheng’s expression became extremely ugly.

Qin Suyun looked at her parents in disbelief.

“Father, Mother, how could you treat Wan-niang like that?”

Uncle Qin merely puffed on his pipe without saying a word.

Madam Qin muttered resentfully in a low voice,

“Your father and I only have one daughter. We were worried about you! Besides, when Wan-niang came to arrange the marriage, she swore that if the Tang family ever treated you badly, she would take full responsibility. What did your father and I do wrong?”

Qin Suyun was utterly speechless. She glared at her parents.

“Yes, Wan-niang said she would take responsibility if the Tang family mistreated me. But they never did! Being taken away wasn’t the Tang family’s fault, nor was it something Wan-niang could have predicted. How could you take your anger out on her?”

Tang Wan hadn’t even known her own true identity, much less her connection to the Feng royal family.

The fact that she and the Tang family had been taken away had nothing to do with their character or morals.

How could her parents blame Tang Wan for it?

Madam Qin curled her lips and remained unconvinced.

“So your father and I were wrong to worry about you?”

“No…” Qin Suyun felt utterly miserable.

There was nothing wrong with worrying about her.

But innocent people shouldn’t have been dragged into it.

Tang Wan had treated their family so well!

If not for Tang Wan, there was no telling whether her parents would even have survived that terrible natural disaster.

She had done everything she possibly could for them.

Wasn’t this simply repaying kindness with ingratitude?
