Her misogynistic mother accepted a high-priced bride price and married her to a man with disabled legs. She was ridiculed for half her life. Facing the婆婆's (mother-in-law's) constant ni...
Those three street thugs couldn't even beat a man.
The man looked like he had been trained well. His punches hit the flesh, his kicks penetrated the bone, and his movements were vigorous and extremely neat.
The three street urchins were beaten so badly that their faces were bruised and swollen. They fell to the ground crying and couldn't even get up, let alone escape.
"So what? Is it fun to bully women?" The young man in front of him stepped on the butt of one of the street urchins with a cold look on his face.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."
"What about you two?"
"We don't dare anymore. We don't dare anymore..."
"Can you please spare us? We didn't do anything! We just said a few words that we shouldn't have said..."
"Huh?" The man moved his feet and squatted down, raising his hand and slapping him twice on the face, "You didn't do anything? What else do you want to do? Do you know that this is illegal?"
...
...
"I know."
"You know it, but you still do it!" the man growled, "You three, stand up and go to the police station and turn yourself in!"
"Ah? Turn yourself in. We were just trying to scare her. We didn't really want to do anything to her!"
"Are you going or not?" The man stared at him coldly. "I'll count to three. One, two, three..."
"Go! Go! Go!"
After the three street urchins got up and staggered away, the young man turned around and looked at Ye Li: "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
Ye Li waved his hands repeatedly and said gratefully: "Thank you, comrade. It's all thanks to you today, otherwise who knows what would have happened!"
"Sister-in-law, you're too polite!" The man smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law?" This address made Ye Li a little confused, "Comrade, why are you..."
The man smiled: "You want to ask me why I call you sister-in-law?"
Ye Li nodded, his eyes full of inquiry.
"My name is Langchuan! Jiang Xun was my former company commander! It was Company Commander Jiang who asked me to protect you!"
Ye Li really didn't expect it.
Although Jiang Xun was unable to protect her personally, for her safety, he actually arranged for someone to protect her.
A warm feeling instantly rose in Ye Li's heart.
Was she blind in her previous life to have such a good man? How come she didn't have any feelings for him?
"Comrade Langchuan, thank you so much this time! It's so late and you haven't eaten yet? Come on, come home with me, I will make you something delicious in the evening!" Ye Li invited Langchuan to go home with her.
She thought, after not seeing each other for such a long time, Jiang Xun must be very eager to meet his former comrades, right?
"Yes, sister-in-law!" Langchuan stood at attention and saluted Ye Li.
…
It was already past dinner time, and Ye Li had yet to return, so Jiang Xun knew something was wrong.
He pushed his wheelchair to the gate of the slum, looking towards the entrance of the alley, waiting for Ye Li's figure.
The two naughty kids, Li Dongliang and Li Chengcai, entered the compound after dark. No one knew where they went to play and they covered themselves up like mud monkeys.
"Uncle Jiang!" Li Chengcai saw Jiang Xun sitting in a wheelchair waiting for someone, so he came over and said, "It's so late, why don't you go home?"
"I'm waiting for someone." Jiang Xun said, and then he glanced at Li Chengcai. Seeing that he was covered in mud, he said to him, "Why are you so dirty? Go home and wash yourself!"
Li Chengcai shook his head: "I won't go back. If my mother sees me getting so dirty, she will definitely scold me!"
Li Dongliang nodded and grabbed his brother Li Chengcai's clothes: "I won't go back either! Wherever my brother is, I'll be there!"
Li Chengcai glared at him: "You are a follower!"
"Just a follower!" He didn't care at all.
The two brothers simply sat next to Jiang Xun and waited for people with him.
It’s not that these two children are so well-behaved and obedient, but they know that Jiang Xun’s house has delicious food and want to stay and get some.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Li Chengcai rubbed his belly and asked Jiang Xun: "Uncle Jiang, I'm hungry, do you have any food at home? I want to eat something!"
When Li Dongliang heard that his brother wanted to eat, he hurriedly said, "I'm hungry too, Uncle Jiang, I want to eat too!"
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "Your Aunt Ye is not at home, and there is nothing to eat at home. If you want to eat, go ask Grandma Zhao for it."
The Grandma Zhao that Jiang Xun mentioned is Zhao Xingmei.
The two naughty kids thought about it and shook their heads decisively, "No, we won't go."
Grandma Zhao is very powerful, like a tigress, and they dare not mess with her.
"Uncle Jiang, do you have money? Can you give us some money? We want to buy some food." Li Chengcai asked again.
Jiang Xun was about to answer, but Li Chengcai seemed to be afraid that he would say that he had no money, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle Jiang, please don't say that you have no money! I don't believe it!"
Before Jiang Xun could finish, Aunt Jiang came out to the toilet after dinner and happened to see this scene. She shouted, "Rich! Your Uncle Jiang is the richest in this yard! Don't you know? Your Uncle Jiang earns more than 50 yuan a month!"
"Uncle Jiang, give me money to buy food!"
"I'll ask Uncle Jiang to buy me food too!"
The two naughty kids hugged Jiang Xun with one arm each and shamelessly begged him to buy them food.
Jiang Xun frowned and looked up at Aunt Jiang: "Aunt Jiang, is your leg healed?"
Aunt Jiang was limping out with one hand on her waist. When she heard Jiang Xun's question, she stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Xun curled his lips: "It's nothing. I just want to remind you that watching the fun can easily make your legs limp!"
Aunt Jiang was stunned. After she understood what Jiang Xun meant, she frowned and left in a hurry.
It's really damn annoying!
I was just enjoying the fun when I got knocked down and my butt was hit by the handle of the enamel pot.
The pain was pretty severe, hitting the sciatic nerve right there. It's been two days now and I'm limping in pain, and I can't help but grit my teeth.
As soon as Aunt Jiang left, the two children pestered Jiang Xun to buy them food.
"I don't have any money!" Jiang Xun said, "The money is all with your Aunt Ye Li! But even if I had money, I couldn't give it to you!"
"Why?" Li Chengcai asked unhappily, "You used to always give us money, but now that you've married you don't give us money. Is it because you got married that your wife doesn't allow you to give us money?"
What Li Chengcai said is correct.
It was indeed Ye Li who refused to give it!
However, Jiang Xun also had his own judgment and reasoning in his heart: "You can't develop the bad habit of asking others for money. You are boys, and boys should learn to be self-reliant!"
Li Chengcai pouted: "Uncle Jiang, you just don't want to give us money! Uncle Jiang, my family is very poor, and my mother's money is not enough to feed the two of us brothers! I'm hungry, I'm so hungry! Otherwise, Uncle Jiang, I kowtow to you and recognize you as my godfather, okay? Please give me something to eat!"
As he said this, Li Chengcai was about to kneel down to Jiang Xun.
"Chengcai!" Jiang Xun shouted, "Don't kneel! A man's knees are made of gold. You can't abandon your dignity and integrity just for a bite of food!"
Li Dongliang didn't understand: "What are dignity and integrity? Can you eat them? Will they fill you up?"
Jiang Xun was so angry that he laughed. How did Huang Xiuxiu educate her child?
In fact, all of this was given to the two children by Huang Xiuxiu.
She had heard that Jiang Xun's monthly salary was more than 50 yuan, so she secretly did the math. He had just started working and was already making more than 50 yuan a month. If he worked for two and a half years, his salary would have to increase further!
In just a few years, the price will increase to more than one hundred yuan!
It would be great if I could give her this money. It would be more than enough to support her two little boys.
Moreover, she had previously thought about marrying Jiang Xun so that he could help her raise the children.
But who would have thought that Jiang Xun actually married a virgin girl, and she wasn't ugly.
This was a little unexpected for her!
After Jiang Xun got married, her heart slowly died and she no longer had any hope.
But when she heard that Jiang Xun had started working and that he was paid so high, she became excited again.
If she could squeeze out Ye Li and marry Jiang Xun, wouldn't her life be better?
Huang Xiuxiu had been waiting for an opportunity, and today the opportunity came. It was so late, and Ye Li had not come back yet. After she found out, she didn't even have time to cook. She pretended to sprain her foot and limped out to find Jiang Xun.
