Chapter 17 - Severance of Relationship

After a while, the woman brought Li Hehua to a house. She pulled Li Hehua into it and shouted to the people inside.

"Hehua's niang*, your Hehua is back."

(TN: 荷花娘 - the raw is directly translated as Lotus Mother. 荷花 is Hehua meant Lotus. 娘 is niang meant mother. I know I used Hehua's niang in this one [explanation purposes] but I'll change it to 'Mother Li' later.)
　　
Those who had heard this call inside all came out. They were led by a woman in her 40s and 50s, followed by a young woman holding a child and a tall man with a waist of a tiger of about the same age. The last one who came out was a boy around 15 or 16 years old. His body is also strong.

Li Hehua found that the original's maiden family was doing well. All of them dressed well at least, and all of them have big shoulders and round waist. At first glance, they lived a good life.

These people cast their gazes to Li Hehua and their expression changed when they saw the burden on her back. The middle aged woman on the lead asked loudly, "Hehua, why are you back this time?"

Li Hehua guessed that this person should be original's mother and immediately said, "Mother, I have been divorced. I can only go home. "
　　
After listening to Li Hehua's words, except for the woman who just brought her here, the Li family's face immediately became ugly. Li Hehua's mother frowned even more. "You have been divorced? The Zhang family dared to divorced you?! Have they eaten a leopard's guts?"

(TN: leopard's gut is quite synonymous to courage. Understand it guys. It is easy to understand, I just find it hard to elaborate hehe.)

The man behind Mother Li, the original's eldest brother, Li Changfu, also spoke up at this time. "That old lady from the Zhang family and that boy who still haven't grown hair dared to divorced you! How bold! I think they haven't seen the power of our Li family. They don't take our family seriously."

Li Hehua frowned secretly. She's disgusted with the way how the Li family speak. Her first impression of them was not good.

The Li family thought that she was helpless seeing her frowning. Her sister-in-law immediately spoke up with a scolding tone. "How could you just return like this? Those two dared to do this to you! Anyway, you have to teach them some lesson. What's wrong with you, coming back just like that?"

The youngest, Li Hehua's younger brother Li Changshou, also frowned and said unhappily, "That's right. Don't tell us that you are such a coward."

Li Hehua is certain now. The people in the original's family are not good, let alone that kind and reasonable family. Usually, if a married daughter was divorced, shouldn't the normal reaction is to ask what happened and find a way to solve it? This family is so good. (t/n: note the sarcasm hehe.) They didn't event ask and just show others a great show. Their tone even shows that they didn't care about the Zhang family. This is not a normal attitude between in-laws at all.
　　
Li Hehua suppressed her thoughts and told the Li family the truth. "It wasn't Qingshan and Mother Zhnag who divorced me, it was Zhang Tieshan who divorced me."
　　
"What! Zhang Tieshan came back from the battlefield? He's not dead?" Li Changshou exclaimed. The three people next to him were also very surprised.
　　
Li Hehua nodded, "He's back. As soon as he returned, he settled the accounts between us and divorced me. I can't do anything about it."

Listening to Li Hehua's words, the faces of the Li family's people changed again. Unlike the arrogance just now, their faces has traces of fear at this moment.

Li Changfu also put away the look on his face that looked down on the Zhang family. He looked at his mother a little bewildered, "Mother, Zhang Tieshan is not dead. He came back. What should we do? Will he find us?" Their family often bullied the widowed from the Zhang, Zhang Tieshan's younger brother, and even the little child. They thought that he (ZT) already died in the battlefield, so they dared to brazenly bully the Zhang family for benefits. But now...
