The commotion got louder and louder, and soon, people from the neighborhood came over. Seeing the mess in the yard and Liu Xiong lying on the ground groaning, someone shouted in surprise: "Oh my God! What is going on?!"

Ruan Cuizhi was startled by the shout and came back to her senses. She bent down and pulled Liu Xiong off the ground.

Liu Xiong still had strength, so he raised his arm and threw Ruan Cuizhi away.

Ruan Changsheng couldn't hold back his anger and kicked him again, wanting to kick him to death.

Liu Xiong screamed in pain. Several men nearby came over and grabbed Ruan Changsheng: "Who are you? Why are you running into someone else's house and beating people up? Don't you want anyone to take care of you?"

Ruan Changsheng was angry and said, "What the hell is it to you?"

Seeing that the faces of the men in the neighborhood were about to change, Ruan Cuizhi came over and stood next to Ruan Changsheng, drove the men away, and explained to the neighbors, "He is not an outsider. This is my biological brother."

When people heard that it was her brother from her mother's side, they understood that this was a family matter, so someone else said, "If you have something to say to one another, please talk it over peacefully. Don't use force. Look how you beat him up. Come on, help and help Liu Xiong back into the house."

Several men helped Liu Xiong back into the house. Liu Xiong's nose and face were bruised and swollen, and he kept groaning in pain.

After they went into the house and put Liu Xiong on a worn-out chair, one of the men asked him with concern, "How do you feel now? Do you want to be sent to the hospital? Breaking the bones won't work."

Liu Xiong was beaten so hard that his whole body felt like it was falling apart. But he tried to lift his arms and legs, and it seemed that his bones were not injured. He just felt pain in his flesh, and many places were swollen.

Especially his face, which was swollen like a bear.

Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng were still standing outside. A woman came to Ruan Cuizhi and asked her in a low voice: "What's going on? There was such a big commotion all of a sudden. You didn't even stop after the fight was so serious? That's your man."

Ruan Cuizhi didn't know when her eyes became wet. She sniffed and didn't say anything.

Ruan Changsheng said in an extremely aggressive tone: "What serious fight was it? I didn't beat him to death today. It's Liu Xiong who is lucky!"

The woman looked at Ruan Changsheng's appearance and face and was also a little scared. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

They came to watch the excitement and persuade the fight to stop. There was no need to offend people and cause trouble for themselves.

A group of people stood in the yard for a while, and Liu Xiong's parents came over.

Liu Xiong's parents did not live with Liu Xiong's family, and they didn't come over often. In their minds, Ruan Cuizhi was a perfect daughter-in-law, who was considerate and good-tempered, so the couple never caused any trouble to them.

Today, they didn't know what happened, and it suddenly became like this.

The old couple looked anxious, and asked as soon as they entered the yard: "What happened?"

Others didn't meddle in other people's business, for fear of causing trouble, so

they kept silent. Ruan Changsheng wanted to speak, but Ruan Cuizhi pulled him, so he shut up.

Liu Xiong's parents hurried back to the house, only to see that their son had been beaten like a pig, with his face bruised and swollen beyond recognition. In addition to his face, his body was also covered in mud, and he looked like he had been tortured.

His mother felt distressed, her eyes were wet and she asked, "Who beat him?!"

A man whispered, "Outside, his brother-in-law."

Ruan Cuizhi's family? Her brother?

Liu Xiong's mother looked outside, stopped yelling, and slowly calmed down. Then she and Liu Xiong's father looked at each other, looked outside again, and tacitly began to send out everyone who was watching the fun.

After all, it was a family embarrassment, so they should solve it behind closed doors.

After calling everyone away and closing the gate, the old couple calmed down completely.

Liu Xiong's mother found some snacks at home and gave them to her grandson to coax him for a while. After her grandson calmed down and stopped crying, she and Liu Xiong's father led Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng into the house.

Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng walked into the house and stood still, looking at Liu Xiong who was leaning on the chair and groaning.

Liu Xiong's father sat down on the bench next to Liu Xiong, and his expression did not show a very obvious attitude. He just looked at Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng and asked: "Everyone has left, tell me, why did you beat your brother-in-law like this?"

Ruan Changsheng was really not afraid of the old couple.

If they didn't talk about reason, they would just fight again. He didn't care about the old or the young.

He didn't waste his time talking to the two old people. He reached out and pulled Ruan Cuizhi's arm, rolled up her sleeves, and rolled them up to the base of her arms. Then he asked the old couple, "You taught your son well. Why do you think I hit him?"

This time, Ruan Cuizhi didn't pull her sleeves to cover up and dodge. She let Ruan Changsheng pull her arm to show Liu Xiong's parents.

When Liu Xiong's parents saw the scars on Ruan Cuizhi's arms, their faces changed instantly. Liu Xiong's mother

walked over, grabbed Ruan Cuizhi's wrist and asked, "What's the matter? Did Daxiong hit you?"

Ruan Cuizhi didn't say anything with tears in her eyes. Suddenly, she raised her hands and unbuttoned two buttons. She pulled her collar and saw that there were also scars on her shoulders and back, some old and some new, stacked together.

Liu Xiong's mother was so angry that she quickly reached out to pull up Ruan Cuizhi's collar, turned around and raised her hand to hit Liu Xiong. But seeing that he had been beaten like that, she couldn't do it. Liu Xiong's

father was obviously very angry too, with a stern face and no longer spoke.

Ruan Changsheng could see that the old couple still had a sense of reason. They knew that Liu Xiong was wrong to blame them, but they still felt sorry for their son. After all, the son was their own son.

This was easy to deal with, and there was no need to confiscate the family property.

Ruan Changsheng directly pulled Ruan Cuizhi and said to the old couple: "You have seen how much grievance my third sister has suffered in your family. Since you don't treat my third sister well, I will take her home now, and no one of you can stop me!"

When Liu Xiong's mother heard this, she became anxious and grabbed Ruan Cuizhi's other wrist, saying: "Cuizhi, look, Daxiong has been beaten like this. He will definitely not dare to do it again in the future. Can you calm down?"

Ruan Cuizhi didn't say anything. Ruan Changsheng came over and pulled Liu Xiong's mother's hand away, and pulled Ruan Cuizhi out.

As a result, Liu Xiong's mother rushed over and grabbed Ruan Cuizhi: "Cuizhi, I promise you that Daxiong will never hit you again. If he dares to hit you again, tell me and his father, we will not let him off!"

Ruan Cuizhi was pulled by Ruan Changsheng and Liu Xiong's mother, standing between the door frame without moving.

Liu Xiong's mother suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Look at your son, can you bear to leave him? He is still so young, what will happen to him if you leave? Don't you feel pain when the flesh falling off your body falls off?"

Then she turned around and called out, "Xiao Huzi, quickly ask mom to stay." When

Xiao Huzi heard his grandmother say this, he thought that his mother didn't want him anymore. He burst into tears and came over to hug Ruan Cuizhi's legs, saying with tears in his eyes, "Mom, don't go. Mom, I don't want you to go."

So Ruan Cuizhi's left hand was held by Ruan Changsheng, her right hand was held by Liu Xiong's mother, and her two legs were hugged by Xiao Huzi. There were people on both sides of her, and she stood under the door frame unable to move.

Seeing Xiao Huzi crying for his mother, Ruan Changsheng also became anxious, frowning and saying in a rough voice: "Sister, you have to think it over. Once I leave, there will be no one to support you, and he will definitely beat you again."

Although Liu Xiong's parents are reasonable and like Ruan Cuizhi, no matter how much they like her, they will not really do anything to their own son for their daughter-in-law. If Ruan Cuizhi doesn't follow him this time, Liu Xiong will probably retaliate against her twice.

Ruan Changsheng can beat him up once and he will be fine?

This is impossible.

Ruan Cuizhi can't stand up on her own, and Liu Xiong can always hold her in his palm and bully her.

No matter how others intervene, it is useless. This matter can only be solved if Ruan Cuizhi becomes tough herself.

If she softened her heart again, and continued to be so spineless and without any attitude, Ruan Changsheng's coming here to beat Liu Xiong would not only not be considered as supporting her, but it might also make her life worse in the future.

Ruan Cuizhi was reluctant to leave this home and him after such a big incident. Liu Xiong must think that he has her under his control. Wouldn't he be even more reckless in beating her to death in the future?

Ruan Cuizhi stood there without saying a word, and her face showed no attitude.

Liu Xiong's father said again: "Cuizhi, look at the child."

The old couple naturally had their own stand and calculations. As long as Ruan Cuizhi stayed today and the matter stayed within their own family, it would not be a big deal and would soon be over, and they could live their lives normally.

But if Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng went back to her parents' home today, she would have a lot of troubles in the future. No one would take care of the children at home, and no one would do the work. She would have to travel through mountains and rivers to ask Ruan Cuizhi to come back, and go to the mountains to apologize to her in-laws.

Ruan Cuizhi lowered her eyebrows and looked at the crying little tiger hugging her legs.

After a while, she pulled out both wrists, sat down and squatted in front of the little tiger, wiping his tears with her fingers. After coaxing him to stop crying with soft words, she stood up again and turned to go into the house.

Seeing her performance, Liu Xiong's parents felt that she was reluctant to leave the child, and they were slightly relieved.

Liu Xiong's mother then said to Ruan Changsheng: "This is your brother-in-law's fault. We are not covering up for him. You should have beaten him. Beating him so hard is also a lesson for him. I promise you that he will never bully your sister again in the future."

Ruan Changsheng said in a gloomy voice: "If you really care about my sister, how could you not know that she was beaten at home?"

Liu Xiong's mother said: "We don't come here often. I will definitely come here often in the future."

Ruan Changsheng was angry and stared at Liu Xiong's mother.

He clenched his fingers into a fist and clenched them tightly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Ruan Cuizhi coming out of the house with a bag. She walked to Ruan Changsheng with the bag and whispered: "Fifth brother, let's go."

Hearing this, Ruan Changsheng's clenched fingers loosened immediately.

Liu Xiong's parents' faces changed. They had just relaxed and thought that Ruan Cuizhi was not going to leave when she entered the house, but they didn't know that she entered the house to pack clothes. This was not okay. Liu Xiong's mother grabbed Ruan Cuizhi.

"Cuizhi, what will happen to little Tiger if you leave?"

Ruan Cuizhi didn't answer. This time she took action herself, pulled open Liu Xiong's mother's hand, pulled Ruan Changsheng and left.

Liu Xiong's parents hurriedly followed her out, calling Ruan Cuizhi's name. Seeing that she didn't respond, they called little Tiger again: "Your mother doesn't want you anymore, hurry up and leave your mother behind, hurry up and chase her, don't let your mother leave!"

Little Tiger had just been coaxed by Ruan Cuizhi, but now he burst into tears again and ran out.

But because he ran too fast, he fell to the ground in the yard with his face on the ground.

Liu Xiong's mother deliberately did not help him, but just shouted: "Oh, my little darling."

Ruan Cuizhi stopped as she expected, but this time she did not look back. She stood there for a moment, pursed her lips and clenched her teeth, grabbed Ruan Changsheng's wrist, and pulled him out of the yard without looking back.

Liu Xiong's mother was very anxious now, and called Liu Xiong's father: "Go and chase him!"

Liu Xiong's father was old and weak, so there was no way he could catch up. He chased him to the gate of the yard, and after going out of the gate and chasing him a few steps outside, Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng walked away and turned into the alley and disappeared.

He didn't catch up with her, and just happened to see the three girls coming back, so he hurriedly called the three girls: "Da Ni, Er Ni, San Ni, your mother and your father had a quarrel, and packed up and left. Go and catch her!"

Da Ni, Er Ni, and San Ni hurriedly put down their backpacks and turned around to chase her. But they couldn't find Ruan Cuizhi after searching for a while, so the three of them came back again, panting and running to Liu Xiong's father and said, "Grandpa, we didn't catch her."

Liu Xiong's father pinched his waist and was still panting. He turned around and saw Liu Xiong's mother leading Xiao Hu out, so he also said, "We asked her to leave and didn't catch her back."

Liu Xiong's mother bent down to wipe Xiao Hu's tears: "What's going on!"

Did they really not care about their children?

They just left as soon as they said they would?

There was nothing they could do, so the family returned to the house.

When they entered the house, they saw Liu Xiong beaten to a pig's head, and the three girls were all shocked.

Erni asked, "Who hit her?"

What's the point of saying who hit her now? Liu Xiong's mother just looked at Liu Xiong and said to him unhappily, "Your wife left without looking back. She didn't even look back when Xiaohuzi fell to the ground. What do you want to do?"

Liu Xiong was a tough guy. "Let her go! She'd better not come back!"

Liu Xiong's mother raised her hand to hit him, but couldn't do it. She said bitterly, "You are so capable! Why did you hit her? What's wrong with Cuizhi? Is there any wife in this town who is more virtuous than her?"

Liu Xiong: "Oh, I'm annoyed by her wooden face!"

His father couldn't help it, so he raised his hand and hit him, making him scream "Aiya".

After hitting him, he turned around and walked out, looking like he didn't want to care about anything anymore.

"You deserve to be beaten to death!"

A-choo——

Ruan Xi was lying on the stone, reciting ancient poems, when she suddenly sneezed loudly.

Ruan Jie turned to look at her, "Sister, are you going to catch a cold?"

Ling Yao also looked at Ruan Xi, and Ruan Xi shook her head and said, "No, my nose is just a little itchy."

She sneezed several times this afternoon, and also sneezed twice when she was painting at the old tailor's house.

Every time she sneezed, she would think of Ruan Cuizhi. At present, transportation and communication are very underdeveloped, and it is really inconvenient to do anything. For example, now they can only wait, and they don't know what will happen if Ruan Changsheng doesn't come home.

At night, she and Ruan Jie were lying in bed, still thinking about this matter, looking at the top of the tent and saying, "I don't know what happened to Third Aunt. Do you think Fifth Uncle can handle it well?"

If she hadn't discovered this matter at the commune, if she hadn't seen the wound on Ruan Cuizhi's arm, she might not have cared so much. Anyway, when she thought of Ruan Cuizhi's wound, she couldn't help but feel angry.

If she had the ability, she would have wanted to beat Liu Xiong, that scumbag, to death.

Ruan Jie said, "Although Uncle Wu is a scoundrel all day long, he still has his own ideas and sense of propriety. After all, he has to have some skills to live with so many people outside."

Ruan Xi smiled, "I don't know if you are praising him or scolding him."

Ruan Jie also laughed, "Anyway, he is very good to the two of us. Every time he makes something delicious outside, he will bring it back for the two of us to eat. No matter what others think of Uncle Wu, I think he is good anyway."

Ruan Xi smiled and nodded, "That's true."

The two sisters chatted until they were sleepy. They closed their eyes for a few times and fell asleep with their shoulders touching.

The next day, they got up, washed, ate, and went out. It was another ordinary day.

Because it is August now, and there are still five months before the Chinese New Year, there are not many families who come to make clothes for them. In a few months, the Chinese New Year will be approaching, and every household will be busy making new clothes to prepare for the New Year.

Life will be more leisurely when no one comes to visit.

Ruan Xi still buried her head in painting when she arrived at the old tailor's house, and did not compete with Ruan Yuejin. As long as Ruan Yuejin did not come to offend her, she would not take the initiative to say anything to Ruan Yuejin, and they were always busy with

their own things. Ruan Yuejin would show how smart and awesome he was from time to time, and Ruan Xi and the old tailor would not criticize him, but just treat him as a fool. Anyway, he would not understand if I said something sarcastic, and he really thought I was complimenting him.

Since he thought I was complimenting him, I would just compliment him more.

He was in a good mood when he returned home, which made Sun Xiaohui feel good as well, and it could also reduce a lot of trouble for Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie. Sun Xiaohui was in a good mood, and she looked forward to her son learning the craft and becoming a tailor every day, so she naturally had no intention of causing trouble.

As for how much talent and potential Ruan Yuejin had in being a tailor, that was really only known by heaven, earth, the old tailor, and Ruan Xi. What

Ruan Xi admired most now was Ruan Yuejin's willpower.

Absolutely, top-notch!

Ruan Xi stayed at the old tailor's house for most of the day, and then studied on the hillside for half a day. He and Ruan Jie returned home to feed the pigs and chickens, cook and eat, and after washing up, they lay down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. This day was considered to be over.

Outside, it was dark at night. Ruan Xi was lying on the bed and said to Ruan Jie, "Uncle Wu should be back tomorrow."

Before Ruan Jie could respond, she suddenly heard Ruan Changsheng's voice from outside, "Mom and Dad, I brought my third sister back."

Hearing this, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie jumped out of bed, quickly opened the tent door, got out of bed, and opened the door for Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Changsheng. Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua were older and moved slower, so they waited for a while before coming out.

Seeing Ruan Cuizhi, Liu Xinghua's eyes moistened. She went up to her, held her hand and said, "You still remembered to come back?"

Ruan Cuizhi's eyes also moistened, "Mom, I'm sorry, I made you worry."

Liu Xinghua sniffed to calm herself down, and asked Ruan Changsheng, "You brought your third sister back, but what about Liu Xiong?"

Ruan Changsheng said directly, "I beat him to death, and Liu Xiong turned into a bear."

Liu Xinghua was a little worried, "Did you hold back? You didn't beat him to death, did you?"

Ruan Changsheng: "He's lucky that I didn't beat him to death! I just arrived at his house in the town yesterday, and I saw him kicking the third sister in the yard. It was a very hard kick, and he kicked the third sister to the ground. Do you think I should beat her or not?" And guess why he beat the third sister, it was because the third sister slipped when she was lifting the water jar! If I wasn't here yesterday, he would have kicked the third sister a few more times to vent his anger, he is a damn scum!"

Ruan Zhigao was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He frowned and cursed harshly: "This damn bastard! I married him as a good girl, and he bullied me like this?"

Liu Xinghua was angry and distressed when she heard it, and she cared about Ruan Cuizhi: "Cuizhi, are you okay?"

Ruan Cuizhi shook her head with tears in her eyes, sniffed and said: "Mom, I'm fine."

In the room at the west end of the main house, Sun Xiaohui and Ruan Changgui also heard the noise, but did not get up immediately.

Sun Xiaohui asked curiously, "Why did Xiao Wuzi suddenly bring Cuizhi back?"

She hasn't been back for many years, and everyone said that she was living a very good life in the town.

But it seems that she is not living a very good life.

Ruan Changgui said, "How should I know? Just get up and take a look."

Sun Xiaohui got up after him, and the two of them got out of bed and went to the side room.

When they entered the side room, they saw that everyone was sitting or standing in Liu Xinghua's room, some sitting on the bed, and some sitting on the bench. Ruan Changgui looked at Ruan Cuizhi and said, "Third sister, why did you suddenly come back?"

Liu Xinghua was upset and was worried that she couldn't find anyone to vent to.

Ruan Changgui came over and bumped into her. She said to him, "Why does your third sister need your permission to come back?"

Ruan Changgui died unjustly, "Ah, mother, is that what I meant?"

Liu Xinghua said rudely, "Go do what you should do, it's none of your business here."

The couple were not sincere people. What could they do except watch the excitement and make trouble?

Ruan Changgui was bored. He took a breath and said, "I'm just meddling in other people's business, okay?"

After that, he turned around and left, pulling Sun Xiaohui with him.

The two returned to their room. Sun Xiaohui whispered, "She came back alone, and she didn't even bring her child. It was Xiao Wuzi who brought her back. I guess she must have been bullied by her husband's family."

Ruan Changgui lay down to sleep, and said in a bad mood: "Why bother her? Sleep!"

Ruan Changgui could sleep, but Sun Xiaohui's heart was burning with the desire to hear gossip, so how could she sleep?

After Ruan Changgui fell asleep, she sneaked out of bed, stood outside the window of Liu Xinghua's room, and eavesdropped.

In the next room, Liu Xinghua waited for Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui to leave, and then took Ruan Cuizhi's hand and asked: "Tell me honestly now, don't hide a word, how have you been living well in the past few years since you married into the Liu family?"

Things have come to this, what else can be hidden.

Ruan Cuizhi sniffed and said, "The first seven or eight years were good. Although we can't say that we were very close, we lived a normal life. He was neither good nor bad to me. At that time, I came back once a year. He was not happy because the mountain road was difficult to walk, but he always accompanied me. Later, when Xiaohu was born and there was a boy in the family, he probably felt that I helped him complete the task, so he changed his temper. Seeing that I was getting more and more He doesn't like you and takes it out on me."

Ruan Zhigao was upset, "He started bullying you so early and beat you like this, why didn't you tell your family? He just saw that you endured everything and didn't dare to let others know, so he dared to bully you like this!"

Ruan Cuizhi lowered her head for a moment and looked at Ruan Zhigao, "Dad, it's too far away from home, what can I say?"

Ruan Changsheng continued, "Home is here " You are not living well, why don't you come back? Your legs are on your own body, can he tie you up with a rope? Or do you think your family is poor and don't want to come back?"

Ruan Cuizhi said hurriedly: "Of course not, I just don't want to look for you when there is something. My parents are getting older and older, how much trouble and worry can they have? I don't want to get married and still have trouble, always coming back to my parents' home to make trouble and make people laugh at me. I I can't bear to see my four children suffer. What will happen to them if I leave?"

Liu Xinghua said, "We don't need you to think about it like this. You think about it over and over again, and you will suffer! You said you don't want us to worry about it, but to me it's just a lie. Who else can you turn to if you don't ask your mother's family for help when you encounter problems?"

What Liu Xinghua said was true. She had been covering up this matter and swallowing her anger without letting anyone know because she was thinking too much. She thought about this and that, considered this and that, and swallowed all the anger, bitterness and grievances by herself.

She knew that she couldn't beat Liu Xiong, so she didn't dare to challenge him, lest she get beaten more. She thought she should just bear it and let him hit her a few times to vent her anger, so she endured it again and again.

She was also a person who was particularly afraid of getting into trouble. She didn't dare to cause trouble, nor did she want to stir up trouble. She didn't want her family to be noisy all day long and make people laugh at her. She used the method of swallowing her anger to maintain family harmony, at least to make outsiders see harmony.

Of course, it was also for the four children, for the so-called home.

Besides, her parents' home was too far away, and distant water could not put out a nearby fire. And she didn't want to get married and add burdens to her parents, making them worry about her affairs so much that they couldn't eat or sleep.

But now that the matter has suddenly become a matter of public concern and everyone knows about it, she suddenly felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and it didn't feel like a big deal. All the things she was worried about have happened, and it wasn't as unacceptable as she had imagined.

Not only was it not unacceptable, she even had a sense of relief.

All the worries in her mind before are now happening in front of her, and she finds that she can face and bear it. Most importantly, her parents and brother still treat her as a treasure, and she can't let them down.

She can rely on them, and she doesn't need to endure it silently anymore.

If it wasn't Ruan Changsheng who made trouble this time, she would probably just bear it. But now her parents and Ruan Changsheng have helped her out and have cleared up the matter, so she can't let them suffer with her. She

can endure it alone, but she won't let her family endure it with her.

She still felt guilty, and after a long while she said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm useless."

Seeing her like this, Liu Xinghua couldn't help but feel distressed, and pinched her hand and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you marry Liu Xiong, and I shouldn't have let you marry so far away. I should have known at that time that Liu Xiong was not a good person!"

Ruan Cuizhi shook her head, "I wanted to marry."

She felt that she could marry in the town, and Liu Xiong looked honest and down-to-earth, and was a man who could make a living. It was a blessing for her to cultivate for eight lifetimes, and she was very happy. Even though she knew that Liu Xiong didn't really want to marry her, but his parents liked her, she still married without hesitation. It

's not that she didn't regret it in the past few years, but she was married and had four children, and there was no way back.

There was nothing much to say about the past, so Liu Xinghua didn't bring it up anymore. She comforted Ruan Cuizhi and said, "Don't think about anything now. Just settle down here. It's your own home. You can live here as long as you want. When the Liu family comes, I'll ask them what they mean. If they don't give me an explanation, this matter will not be over."

Ruan Cuizhi had no other ideas now and listened to Liu Xinghua. She nodded and said, "Yes."

But just as she finished her response, Ruan Xi, who had been standing beside the box without saying a word, suddenly said, "No matter what you say, it's useless. Even if he kneels down and cries, it's useless. In this situation, the only option is divorce."

Hearing this, Ruan Zhigao, Liu Xinghua, Ruan Changsheng, Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Jie all turned to look at Ruan Xi, with stunned expressions on their faces, and they didn't react for a long time.

Liu Xinghua was the first to react, and asked in confusion: "Divorce?"

Ruan Zhigao replied: "What do little kids know?"

Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Zhigao: "Grandpa, I know more than you think. Once a man starts beating a woman, it is impossible to change. Especially for someone like Third Aunt, Liu Xiong has been beating her for several years, it is even more impossible to change. Even if he kneels down here and cries and admits his fault today, he will still beat her tomorrow when he gets angry when he returns home."

The air in the room condensed for a while, and Ruan Zhigao, Liu Xinghua and others were still looking at Ruan Xi.

For a long time, no one spoke.

There were only a few rooms in the house, and Ruan Cuizhi could only live in the same room with Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie when she came back.

When Ruan Cuizhi was washing up, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were lying side by side on the bed. Ruan Jie turned to look at Ruan Xi and asked her: "Did Ling Yao also tell you about the divorce?"

Ruan Xi did not answer, but only asked Ruan Jie: "Do you think Third Aunt will get divorced?"

Ruan Jie thought for a while, "I don't know, but no one here has ever divorced."

Ruan Xi took a deep breath, "Forget it, let's go to sleep first."

After that, she turned over, facing the wall with her back to Ruan Jie, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Ruan Jie did not think about these things anymore, closed her eyes, adjusted her posture, and soon fell asleep.
