Chapter 50: Domestic Violence in the 5th Century

Lin Xia urged Sun Changjian to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, she took out a bundle of ropes in front of him and tied it into a twist as he struggled in fear.

"Wait until I finish my nap, then I'll let you go to work. Just stay here for lunch."

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, I will never run away. Just let me go. Didn't I go to work honestly this morning?"

If I'm not watching, can you work honestly? Maybe he has already gone to the city to find his old lover.

That lover Zhang Qiang is indeed an "old" lover. He is already forty years old. He looks younger than the country guy, but he also has a face full of wrinkles. I don't know how they got together. It's disgusting!

Lin Xia does not discriminate against homosexuals, but she discriminates against homosexuals who deceive girls into becoming their wives.

Zhang Qiang usually has a very good reputation. Not only does he have a job in the county town, he is also good to his wife and children, and never looks down on people in the team. He usually has the image of a good guy.

In the original owner's memory, Sun Changjian and he had very little contact. The only time they were seen in the same frame was when they came out of a dilapidated mud house behind the brigade, which was the end of the village. They were coincidentally seen by the original owner who was coming back from stepping on wild vegetables.

At that time, the original owner was very afraid of seeing Sun Changjian. As soon as she saw it was him, she ran away quickly. She would never suspect that there was anything between the two grown men.

Could it be that these two were having an affair before the original owner got married?

So was Zhang Qiang involved in the plot against the original owner?

If so, don't blame her for being rude...

For several days in a row, Lin Xia beat Sun Changjian whenever he was in a bad mood and whenever he was in a good mood. After beating him, he would watch him go to work and tie him up and make him sleep in the kitchen at night.

Besides being afraid that he would run away, we were also worried that he would spit in the water, which would be so dirty.

Watch for several days in a row.

Everyone in the brigade said that Sun Changjian had really changed for the better this time.

All people saw was the surface; they could not see the blue and purple patches on Sun Changjian's skin beneath his clothes.

Ever since Lin Xiali stood up, fewer people in the team gossip about her.

On this day, a nosy aunt invited Lin Xia to join their chat group and share her way of controlling her husband.

Lin Xia didn't like them and just casually responded by saying that Sun Changjian had let it go on his own.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from her, he began to explain to Lin Xia what had happened if she hadn't married him.

The reason why Sun Changjian has not gotten married at the age of 27.

The first reason is that my family is poor.

When his father was alive, he played cards and gambled every day, and lost all the family wealth. After his father passed away, Sun Changjian did not work hard to earn work points.

The second reason was that Sun's father had always beaten his wife and children until Sun Changjian grew up and then stopped beating his son.

However, Sun Changjian escaped from the sea of ​​suffering but did not help his beaten mother, which disappointed the team members.

The third reason is that after his father died, Sun Changjian completely let himself go. He stopped working and spent his days stealing and robbing other gangsters, leaving his old mother to support him at an old age. However, he would beat his mother up if she was not satisfied with him. He was a typical second-generation son of his father. The only good thing about him was that he did not gamble.

Beating one's mother seemed unbelievable to the brigade.

There are many examples of filial impiety in rural areas, such as when the elderly get old, their children shirk their responsibilities and refuse to support them, causing the elderly to starve to death. However, these things are just gossip at best.

But Sun Changjian just beat his mother. Many respected elders in the team, including the team leader, branch secretary, and various cadres took turns to talk to him.

But it didn't make sense, neither of them could explain it.

Sun Changjian totally refused to listen and said that when his father beat him before, the team didn't care, so why would they care about him now?

He said frankly that it was because his mother couldn't control his father that he was beaten by his father since he was a child. His miserable life was all because of her, and he deserved to beat her.

The team said that he was your father after all, and it was normal for a father to beat his children. Every child in the team had been beaten. Father Sun just hit you a little harder. You see, you were not beaten anymore when you grew up.

Sun Changjian got angry and kicked the people out, and everyone in the team ended up in failure.

Then I talked to my grandson's mother and asked her to act like a parent and be tough.

Sun’s mother said, “I dare not. I will just take the beating if he hits me. My son did suffer a lot when he was a child.” Blah blah blah.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and the brigade doesn't care anymore.

However, based on Lin Xia's observations over the past few days, Sun's mother didn't allow her son to be beaten and scolded just because she loved him. She simply couldn't resist and brainwashed herself.

Then when they see the original owner in the same situation, they also like to brainwash him in this way.

Lin Xia had no intention of exploring Grandmother Sun's thoughts.

Anyway, for someone like Sun Changjian, no one in the team would introduce a wife to him, so he naturally remains single.

As they spoke, the old ladies looked at Lin Xia as if she were a fool and continued.

As a result, a fool who would not marry anyone else suddenly appeared and followed Sun Changjian wholeheartedly, specifically the original owner.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, Sun Changjian changed a lot and stopped beating people. Everyone thought he had started a family, become mature and changed for the better. But a year later, he did the same thing again, and he really stopped beating his mother and started beating his wife instead.

At this point, everyone still had a look on their faces. In fact, Sun Changjian was not wrong. You can't give birth to a child. Which woman who can't give birth to a child will not be beaten?

Lin Xia: ...The last time I was so speechless was last time.

Although she doesn't care whether she can have a baby or not, why should the blame be put on her?

Lin Xia suddenly covered her face and cried:

"It's not that I don't want to have a baby. I'm healthy. It was only after I got married that I realized that Changjian's side..."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at each other.

I see.

"So, I regretted getting married into the family. I ended up being a widow. Later on, we had a falling out. You guys will know what happened." Lin Xia's face was full of melancholy.

"Lin Xiaoqing! What nonsense are you talking about! I'm going to kill you." Sun Changjian just walked over and heard Lin Xia openly saying that he was not capable outside, and he became furious.

He had completely forgotten the beatings he had suffered in the past few days and was desperate to make Lin Xia shut up.

Lin Xia picked up the stick beside him, without even looking at it, and stood up and spun around.

Bang!

A stick hit Sun Changjian in the stomach.

ah!

Sun Changjian covered his stomach and cried out in pain.

Other ladies: Ouch, that hurts.

"Go back and dig."

Sun Changjian didn't dare to be angry or say anything. He just held his stomach and walked away in small steps.

Lin Xia turned to the others and said, "The way to control your husband." She gently weighed the stick in her hand.

Everyone swallowed their saliva and said, "Xiao Lin, your method is very good, very good..."

But there were also those who were not afraid of death and began to preach, "Xiao Lin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, a woman should be virtuous and gentle. You are so fierce, don't blame Chang Jian for the past..."

"Auntie, what did you say?" Lin Xia poked the stick in front of the old lady, his eyes narrowed.

The lady next to her looked at Sun Changjian who was walking away, then looked at her aunt who was not speaking human language, and was the first to say goodbye and leave.

In a few breaths, everyone ran away, leaving behind the confused auntie, who rubbed her hands nervously and said tremblingly: "Auntie has rested enough, it's time to go to work, Xiaolin, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he fled quickly without waiting for Lin Xia to react.

After that day, the words "Lin Xia beat people" and "Sun Changjian is not good enough" quickly spread to every corner of the brigade.

Everyone was talking about it, with a look of sudden realization on their faces.

No wonder Lin Xiaoqing hasn’t been able to get pregnant after five years of marriage.

No wonder Sun Changjian only beat Lin Xiaoqing and not his mother.

It turned out that he was angry out of shame.

No matter how slow Sun Changjian was, he could see the strange looks from everyone. Thinking back to the day when Lin Xia spread rumors outside, he got so angry that his eyes turned red.

Just wait until tomorrow.

When Zhang Qiang comes back tomorrow, he will definitely protect him and help him teach Lin Xia a lesson just like he did when Sun's father was around.
