Chapter 67 Suicide by Hanging

Chen Zhaodi was beaten and fled in all directions.

When Liu Jiabao heard Liu Heping say that Chen Zhaodi had caused his family to lose dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat, he burst into tears.

He grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it at Chen Zhaodi, yelling, "It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing! If it weren't for you, I would have pork to eat! I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing!"

Chen Zhaodi felt a sharp pain on her forehead, and warm liquid flowed down her face. Her vision instantly turned crimson.

She rubbed her eyes blankly, staring at the crimson blood on her hands, then looked up at Liu Jiabao, who was pointing at her and cursing her as a "worthless good-for-nothing."

Suddenly I felt extremely listless.

Her doting husband and her precious son, at this very moment, are all shouting for her to die over a few dozen kilograms of pork!

Doesn't she want to eat pork?

From childhood to adulthood, she had never eaten more than five pieces of pork, and even then, it was only a tiny bit of minced meat that she would secretly taste when cooking.

She's 25 years old, yet she doesn't even know what it feels like to have a full meal.

Chen Zhaodi's entire life was a joke.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get ready to work! You've already caused the family to lose dozens of pounds of pork, and you still want to slack off and not go to work?"

When Liu Heping saw the bleeding wound on Chen Zhaodi's forehead, he was stunned for a moment, then spoke as if it were commonplace.

Anyway, Chen Zhaodi is just a worthless person. Over the years, she has been beaten even more badly.

It's just that its head was hit by a rock. Just grab some ash from the stove and apply it. It's just a worthless thing, not something to be so delicate about.

"You worthless wretch, you owe me pork!"

Liu Jiabao was still cursing angrily, seemingly oblivious to the blood streaming down Chen Zhaodi's face.

Chen Zhaodi suddenly smiled and said, "You take him first, I'll be right there after I've packed up."

"This is really troublesome..."

Liu Heping knew that Chen Zhaodi must be upset that her own son had hit her on the head, so he didn't say anything more, picked up Liu Jiabao, and turned to leave.

"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! Daddy, I want to eat wild boar meat too! It's all that good-for-nothing's fault! If it weren't for her, we would have wild boar meat to eat!"

"Yes, it's all her fault. Otherwise, we would have had enough wild boar meat to eat for half a month!"

The voices of Liu Heping and Liu Jiabao faded into the distance.

Chen Zhaodi watched numbly as drops of blood dripped from her forehead, seemingly oblivious to the pain, and turned to walk step by step toward her room.

Xia Yi, who happened to be coming out of the room to go to work, bumped into her, screamed in fright, and then spat in annoyance.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xian, who came out a step later, asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, just ran into a jinx," Xia Yi casually replied, and the two left.

There were fewer people at work today.

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized them as the same group who had gone up the mountain to hunt wild boars the day before, along with Tong Liqun and his companions.

"Have you heard? Secretary Tong and a few others are slaughtering a pig at the village committee office!"

"Of course I heard! Aiguo and his friends went up the mountain yesterday and hunted two wild boars! That's amazing!"

Cai Chunhua was filled with regret: "If I had known, I would have let my son Xiaojun go with me, at least he could have gotten a few dozen more kilograms of pork."

Just then, Liu Heping walked over with Liu Jiabao.

Upon hearing Cai Chunhua's words, his lips twitched, and his hatred for Chen Zhaodi intensified.

If it weren't for this scoundrel interfering, I could have enjoyed a delicious braised pork dish tonight.

Seeing Liu Heping's sour face, Cai Chunhua obviously guessed what he was thinking and immediately laughed, "Liu, you're such a slacker. If your husband hadn't stopped you yesterday, you would have been able to get dozens of pounds of pork too."

Liu Heping's face grew even uglier, but facing Cai Chunhua, the village's notorious shrew, he merely murmured something before lowering his head and remaining silent.

Cai Chunhua is not only a fierce quarrelmaker, but her husband Tong Xiaojun is also a troublemaker. He dares not argue with her, lest he get into trouble.

Cai Chunhua, however, refused to let him go. Seeing that he had already picked up a sickle and started cutting wheat, ignoring her, she continued to pursue him.

Then she turned her gaze to Liu Jiabao: "Jiabao, you're so pitiful. You were supposed to have meat to eat, but your mother stopped your father from going. And now, dozens of kilograms of pork are gone just like that!"

"Wow! I want to eat meat! Dad, why don't you go up the mountain to hunt wild boar? Why don't you go up the mountain to hunt wild boar..." Liu Jiabao, who had just stopped crying, started wailing again.

Originally, Liu Heping didn't want to pay attention to Liu Jiabao, but seeing him cry incessantly, he became annoyed and suddenly swung his sickle: "Stop crying! All you do is cry, cry, cry, you've cried away all your good fortune! What else can you do besides cry? If you cry again, I'll beat you to death!"

Liu Jiabao was startled, then stammered, "I...I went to see why that good-for-nothing hasn't come yet...Waaah..."

Dad is so scary, he should go find that money-losing girl instead!

At least the loser won't yell at him, let alone scold him.

With that good-for-nothing around, Dad won't beat or scold him.

Thinking it over, Liu Jiabao turned around and ran towards the educated youth settlement.

Seeing that Liu Heping had only dared to vent his anger on the children after being mocked by her, Cai Chunhua launched into another round of sarcastic remarks at him.

She felt bad about the dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat she hadn't managed to get, and if she felt bad about it, then no one else should feel good either.

At least she could get a share of food because of her status as a villager, but the people in the educated youth settlement could only smell the food!

However, Liu Heping was too cowardly; no matter how much Cai Chunhua mocked him, he didn't dare to talk back.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I saw Liu Jiabao, covered in mud, running towards me with tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Dad, Mom... Mom is ignoring me."

Liu Heping, who was already seething with anger, exploded like a bomb upon hearing this: "That damn bitch, looks like she deserves another beating! I'm going to go beat her to death! At this hour, she still hasn't come to work, does she really think she's some kind of pampered young lady! Doesn't she know her own worthless bones, is she even fit for this kind of privilege..."

With that, he threw down the sickle in his hand and headed aggressively toward the educated youth settlement.

However, at that moment, Liu Jiabao's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"Dad, that good-for-nothing, she... she's hanging from the beam by a rope..."
