Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.
When he opened ...
Li Wanshi's voice was so shrill that Qi Yuexian immediately felt uneasy, her eyes widening and looking unsteady.
Zhao Sufang angrily retorted, "What are you doing!"
Qi Chunlan and Liu Shuping quickly helped Qi Yuexian up, fearing that she might have a relapse on the spot.
Li Wanshi glared, "These are window decorations for the newlyweds! She didn't even give birth to a son, and this unlucky thing still wants to touch the newlyweds' window decorations!"
Before Qi Yuexian could even react, Liu Shuping's face fell. She had only given birth to two daughters for Li Kang!
She gave birth to several children; her daughters all survived, but her sons all died.
Qi Chunlan's husband is the eldest among this group of cousins, and his son, Li Xiangchao, is also the eldest among the grandchildren. Everyone usually respects her as their sister-in-law.
Seeing that Liu Shuping's face had turned pale, she was afraid that she would cause a scene, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, "Shuping, help Yuexian to the west room to rest for a while, Chunhua and I will come and put up the paperwork!"
Li Wanshi snatched the paper-cut window decoration from Zhao Sufang's hand and hid it behind her back. "Sister-in-law Zhou, Li Zhou has been dead for several years. You two didn't even make it to the end. Now, you shouldn't interfere in Weijun's marriage!"
"That's bad luck!"
Even Qi Chunlan, with her good temper, was stung by Li Wanshi's words. Li Zhou had been gone for several years, but she had single-handedly arranged her son's wedding!
Besides, which family in the village doesn't call on her to help with the wedding preparations?
No one had ever disliked her like her aunt!
Qi Chunlan was trembling with anger, and all the women in the room were stunned by Li Wanshi.
Before they could react, Li Wanshi unleashed two more thunderbolts!
"Chunhua, although you're pregnant now, we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl! And you were a widow before, so according to old customs, you can't even enter this new house! Don't be so ignorant of your own limitations. If I hadn't said anything, you would have actually dared to go forward!"
Then Zhao Sufang was mentioned.
“Eldest daughter, although it’s your son’s wedding today, you’d better stay away. Why do I say that? Think about it yourself, didn’t you bring bad luck to your father? Your father-in-law and I are lucky that you didn’t bring bad luck to us! He had to support three girls right after the wedding, and one of them didn’t survive! Don’t you want Weijun to have a good life?”
Hao Yulan and Wang Xiuhong were unsure whether they should get off the kang (a heated brick bed).
Li Wanshi waved her hand and said, "Your parents and in-laws are still alive, and you gave birth to a big, healthy boy as your first child. You are blessed! You two will be the ones to put up the New Year pictures, window decorations, and couplets!"
Tsk tsk, the way you say that makes it sound like you're bestowing a favor on Hao Yulan and Wang Xiuhong.
The room was quiet.
The sounds of men talking and children playing outside could be faintly heard coming in.
Zhao Sufang was stunned for a while before she reacted. Qi Chunlan suppressed her anger and persuaded her, "Forget it, it's all for Wei Jun."
If it's Li Wanshi's turn to attack, who will come?
Zhao Sufang ignored her and said coldly to Hao Yulan, "Draw the curtains!"
Curtains commonly seen in the 1970s
Hao Yulan was unaware of what was going on, but she still obediently turned around and closed the curtains.
Zhao Sufang walked quickly to the main room and locked the door.
When she re-entered the room, she was holding a red curtain. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Had Su Fang gone mad with anger?
Li Wanshi said with disgust, "I told you not to touch the window decorations, so you went to get the red curtain. Are you doing this on purpose...?"
Before Li Wanshi could finish speaking, Zhao Sufang suddenly draped the red curtain over Li Wanshi's head, leaned forward, and punched her in the stomach!
Hao Yulan, Wang Xiuhong: ......
Qi Chunlan and Liu Shuping: Well done!
Qi Yuexian, Chunhua: Since our sister-in-law has taken the lead, let's not just watch and join in!
Chunhua then slapped Li Wanshi across the face, which was covered, several times in one go!
Qi Yuexian, on the other hand, specifically pinched Li Wanshi's inner thigh.
As Yue Yunpeng once said, when you hit someone, you have to pinch the flesh inside their thigh, pinch a bit of tender flesh with your fingernail, and then twist it hard!
Ouch!
This hurts much more than hitting the thick, rough skin on the outside.
Back then, Li Wanshi pinched her like this!
The inner thighs and the soft flesh under the armpits are always covered in bruises!
Zhao Sufang occupied the middle section, which was also taught by Li Wanshi. Her belly was thick, so when she hit her belly, no one could see it, and it would hurt!
Finally, the three bullets that Li Wanshi fired decades ago, after going around in circles, still ended up in his own forehead.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! These three whores are going to rebel!"
Li Wanshi cried out in pain, her voice rising and falling. Qi Chunlan and the others watched for a while, then decided it was enough. Worried about beating Li Wanshi to death, they each pulled one of the three sisters-in-law away from Li Wanshi.
Li Wanshi lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), too weak to even sit up.
After a long pause, he let out a sigh.
"Sufang, how are we going to handle this?"
Qi Chunlan asked Zhao Sufang in a low voice.
Qi Yuexian and Chunhua had felt incredibly good while beating people up, but now that reason had returned, they were finally afraid.
If the husband found out that they ganged up on their mother-in-law, he would beat them to death!
Zhao Sufang was now quite quick-witted. She steadied herself and said, "Isn't my mother-in-law always talking about being a 'troublemaker'? Today I'll be a 'troublemaker' myself! It wasn't me who started it, it was the 'troublemaker's' thing that started it!"
"Hit by a stranger" is one of the most common strange occurrences in rural areas.
"Shang Zhuang Ke" refers to someone who has been possessed by the spirit of a deceased person. The deceased temporarily controls a person's behavior, using the possessed person to express their dissatisfaction or desires, thereby achieving their own goals.
It sounds scary, doesn't it? But this is a tactic that Li Wanshi often uses.
Zhao Sufang and others were already used to it.
The group exchanged glances, and Zhao Sufang climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), quickly messing up her hair. Qi Chunlan, Wang Xiuhong, and Hao Yulan surrounded her.
Liu Shuping rushed out and called Li Jin and her husband Li Kang in.
Li Kang said casually, "What's all this secrecy about? Sixth Brother and I are busy!"
Liu Shuping slapped him hard on the back, "Sixth Sister-in-law has been cheated on!"
Li Jin's pupils contracted. How could his wife have run into a guest on such a joyous day?
Before they even entered the house, they could hear Zhao Sufang speaking in a drawn-out, muffled voice, like an old-fashioned radio being interfered with by radio waves.
Li Jin instructed Li Kang, "Quickly close the gate and don't let any outsiders in!"
If word gets out, my wife will be accused of practicing feudal superstition, which would be terrible.
Upon entering, wow!
Zhao Sufang's hair was disheveled and she was covered in sweat.
At this moment, Li Wanshi also sat up. She felt a burning sensation on her cheeks, and her thighs and stomach were in excruciating pain!
"Sixth son! You've finally arrived! You must stand up for your mother! These three whores ganged up on me!"
Li Jin was completely confused. Wasn't it his wife who was involved in the accident?
How did this involve assault?
Suddenly, an old voice rang out, groaning, "Sixth grandson is here? Your unfilial mother, that beast, actually tried to fight me! Quickly call your father over and give this rich peasant's son a good beating!"
