Chapter 6 Son of Sin

Er Ma's wife was surprised that her son was so honest: "Don't believe those two bastards, I just asked them to come out and see what's going on."

"Don't I know you? You piece of trash, you never tell the truth!" Old Mrs. Ji was preoccupied with something, and Er Ma's wife just happened to walk right into her trap.

"Get out of here if you're not going to eat! Ji Erma, are you going to lay a hand on me or not?"

Ji Erma wiped his mouth, got up, and pulled his wife onto the kang (a heated brick bed): "Can't you behave yourself for once?"

"Huh?" Then came a slap.

Yu Man, curled up in the corner, had a smile on her lips.

Er Ma's wife, whose head had been knocked to the side, happened to see this scene.

"What gives you the right to laugh at me? What makes you think you can laugh at me?"

Ji Dama couldn't eat anymore, and when Old Lady Ji saw him like this, she got angry: "Give your mother some food!"

"Go and clean the sheep pen in a bit."

"No one in my family gives me any peace of mind."

Two little kids were singing and dancing outside: "A good wife is made by beating her, a woman is made by scolding her."

"Life is great, with both beatings and scoldings."

Ji Huaizhi stood to the side watching and listening to the sounds of the woman being beaten inside.

The Ji family is considered an oddity in this neighborhood.

No family lives like this.

Some people's wives came from other places, but none of them were as tormenting as the Ji family.

Er Ma's wife fell silent after being beaten. Seeing that her husband was already lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) and dozing off, her gaze fell on Yu Man.

"What right do you have to laugh at me, you lunatic? Look at yourself! What's the difference between you and a dog on a leash?"

Er Ma's wife had a swollen face on one side.

"Aren't you from the city? You're not even doing as well as me!"

"I married into this family willingly. What about you?"

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to Yu Man. Just as she raised her hand to strike, she heard a noise behind her.

"Second Aunt, what are you doing?"

Ji Huaizhi looked at her darkly: "What are you doing in my dad's seat? Do you want to sleep with my dad?"

Er Ma's wife looked at her husband anxiously: "What did you say? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth off?"

After scolding her, fearing the child would gossip, she crawled to her husband's side.

“I was blind back then. Your mother told you to hit me, so you hit me. What did you say to me back then? You said that even though you were poor, you would treat me better and let me live in a bright cave dwelling with blue bricks.”

"I should have listened to my family. I would never have married you."

Ji Erma said impatiently, "Then get back to your parents' house! Do you think they'd be happy for you to go back now?"

You actually believed what I said before we got married?!

Er Ma's wife couldn't help but sob after hearing his words.

She believed her lies.

He didn't react to what Ji Sanwa had just said.

Before Ji Dama had a wife, he used to harass her by watching her go to the toilet.

She told Er Ma that she didn't expect him to not only not help her but also blame her for provoking the big brother and think she was a disgrace.

How could she be so blind as to fall into the rotten nest of the Ji family?

Grandma Ji looked at her son with a stern face: "How did Zhuangniu die?"

Ji Dama opened his mouth, unsure if she would believe him if he said it was his son: "Sanwa chopped it."

Grandma Ji felt even more gloomy.

"What are you saying? My little grandson is so well-behaved, what are you talking about!" She felt he was just shouting nonsense.

"Mom, I didn't lie!" Old Master Ji said anxiously.

"When he came back today, he caught Zhuang Niu doing that to my wife."

“I told him to go back to herding the sheep, but I didn’t expect him to touch the neck of the strong ox with a sickle. I was stunned.”

"He also said that it was something I told him before: if someone bullies your family, kill them. I'm terrified now."

Grandma Ji slapped her son several times with all her might. After each slap, the wrinkled fat on Ji Dama's face trembled.

"What did I tell you? You should stay away from doing this kind of thing. Don't you think our family is shameful enough in the village?"

"Wouldn't it be shameful if people knew we had a murderer in our family?"

"Why don't you think about it? That woman is still Sanwa's mother. No matter how bad the relationship is, he still has that woman's blood flowing in his veins."

"If someone bullies me, would you fight them to the death?"

Ji Dama immediately replied, "Of course."

The two brothers were very filial and always listened to their mother.

"But I didn't expect that someone so young would... dare to do such a thing."

“I only did this because I knew she couldn’t have children. It would be such a waste of food to keep her like this. We spent all our savings on her. We wouldn’t get much money if we sold her since she can’t have children. Besides, I also wanted a warm bed for myself.”

Grandma Ji's face scrunched up in a frown.

Zhuangniu's wife just came to their door. If they get caught, their whole family won't be able to stay in the village anymore.

"Where is the strong ox's carcass?"

“In that abandoned cave,” Ji Dama replied.

"It can't be placed anywhere, because kids might bake things in it and it'll be too easy to find out."

Ji Dama's legs immediately went weak.

"Tonight, my son and I will take our things and bury them further away and deeper."

"Should we tell Er Ma?"

Grandma Ji tugged at his ear.

Ji Dama's face contorted in pain: "It hurts, Mom, it hurts so much."

"If you miss, just say so. What's so glorious about this? If his wife tells everyone, do you think our family has many lives left?"

As they went out, the mother and son bumped into Ji Huaizhi, and were so frightened they almost lost their souls.

"You little bastard," Ji Dama cursed.

"Grandma, have I caused you any trouble?" Ji Huaizhi looked a little flustered: "I didn't know it would be like this. I just heard Dad say that we can't let outsiders bully our family members."

"People will look down on you."

Grandma Ji felt heartbroken seeing her grandson like this.

"What's it to you? It's all because of your unreliable father's bad teaching. My good grandson is so filial."

Grandma Ji adored this best-looking grandson the most.

"Grandma, I knew you were good to me. I won't let anyone bully you. My teachers praised me when I was in school. I will definitely make sure you live in a brick house like other people do."

Hearing her grandson say this, Grandma Ji felt that Zhuangniu's death was not a big deal: "My grandson is still the most filial."

"It makes the milk feel very comfortable."

"Don't tell anyone about this. You didn't do anything, understand? And don't tell your classmates either, okay?"

Ji Huaizhi: "I know."

Ji Dama felt a little flustered: "Mom, is this how you teach a child?"

"You're a better teacher than me!"

When they got back, Grandma Ji looked at Yu Man, who was standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "You still gave birth to a good son. Since he's been good to you, his mother, you should teach him a lesson."

"Aren't you a college student? Let him go to college too."

Yu Man suddenly laughed.

Er Ma's wife, still in bed, poked her head out and said, "Teach Da Wa and Er Wa a lesson too, they're your grandsons too, Mom."

"I knew you were sleeping with me."

That old hag is so biased.
