From Push-Over to Tough-Talking Wife: My In-Laws Beg on Their Knees

Jiang Liuya was gentle by nature, and she married a man even softer than cotton.

Her three younger brothers-in-law leeched off them, while her mother-in-law treated her like putty. Her husband didn’t even dare say a word.

After her husband died, her mother-in-law became even more tyrannical. She planned to sell their five-year-old daughter to a trafficker, and beat the heavily pregnant Jiang Liuya until she was covered in blood.

Unable to bear the thought of her daughter falling into a living hell, Jiang Liuya stood up for herself for the first time. With her belly swelling, she grabbed her daughter and ran.

But her mother-in-law seized her by the hair and slammed her hard against the stone mill. With a dull thud, blood splattered across Jiang Liuya’s face.

When she opened her eyes again, the timid, submissive woman was gone. In her place was a woman with a cold, ruthless edge.

Her younger brother-in-law still thought she was an easy target, and slapped her across the face.

Jiang Liuya didn’t dodge. She slapped him right back, sending him spinning twice on the spot, blood streaming from his mouth.

Her sister-in-law spread malicious rumors, claiming she was unfaithful and seducing men?

Without another word, Jiang Liuya produced evidence of her sister-in-law’s affair and gave the whole village a good show.

When word got out, the marriage her sister-in-law had been promised was called off on the spot.

Her three brothers-in-law tried to steal the son she had struggled so hard to give birth to.

She picked up a kitchen cleaver and brought it down on the threshold. The blade quivered, sending wood chips flying.

She swept a cold glance over the family.

“Anyone who dares lay a hand on my children, I’ll chop you down first!”

Once a pushover hardens, she can knock the teeth right out of the wicked.

But Jiang Liuya knew all too well that her mother-in-law’s family weren’t the only ones in the village hoping to take everything from a widow and her children.
