Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 46 Stop!
Liu Sheng reached out behind Zhou Yan to grab Jiang Yu's hair, but was blocked by Zhou Yan.
Unable to catch Jiang Yu, he angrily scolded Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, you are a married woman, and you have come to your mother's village to meddle in other people's business. Do you really think I won't beat you? Get out of here!"
Zhou Yan's elder brother, Zhou Dashan, took two steps forward, entered the courtyard, and said coldly, "Liu Sheng, do you dare to hit my sister?"
The Zhou brothers all took a few steps forward with grim expressions.
Liu Sheng swallowed his saliva and argued, "It's your sister who is in charge of my family affairs! Why don't you take care of your sister?"
"You said my sister is a married woman. She is now a member of the Jiang family and is in charge of the Jiang family's affairs. Why should my Zhou family get involved?" Zhou Dashan glanced at her and said lightly.
Liu Sheng choked and didn't know how to refute.
The sister-in-law from her natal family can indeed control her sister-in-law, especially when he beat Jiang Yu in front of her natal family.
Seeing her son stumped by the question, Mrs. Liu became unhappy and shouted, "Jiang Yu is just a hen that doesn't lay eggs. My Liu family kindly feeds her and gives her a place to live. Why is she so dissatisfied? She actually makes me angry!
Oh my, this is going to piss me off to death. A daughter-in-law like this must be struck by lightning. Zhou Yan, what are you thinking? Are you trying to force me, an old woman, to death by protecting her?"
Zhou Yan remained unmoved.
If Liu Sheng hit her, her brothers would definitely not let him go and would also fight Liu Sheng.
But if Mrs. Liu took action, since she was a woman and an elder, how could her brothers from her mother's side in the same village take action?
Just let Old Lady Liu cry. Besides, she is already married. As long as she doesn’t care about her reputation, Old Lady Liu won’t be able to control her!
Mrs. Liu howled for a while until her mouth was dry. Seeing that Zhou Yan had no guilt or intention to give in, she stopped immediately.
He changed his tone and said to Jiang Yu fiercely, "Jiang Yu, come out here! You are a member of my Liu family. Even if you die, you will be a ghost of my Liu family. Where can you run to? Can you hide for a while or for a lifetime?
When Zhou Yan goes back later, you will stay at my Liu's house! Come out and don't force me to catch you myself! "
Jiang Yu's face drained of all color. Looking at the vicious mother-in-law and Liu Sheng across from him, his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. But he still whispered, "Second sister-in-law, go home."
Zhou Yan shook her head: "I'll wait for my sister-in-law to come over."
Jiang Yu forced a bitter smile on his pale face. The second sister-in-law believed that the eldest sister-in-law would come, but why would the eldest sister-in-law come?
Not to mention that she would take up a share of the family's food rations when she returned, just the fact that Liu Sheng's fifth sister was living with Constable Sun in the city, and with Constable Sun as their backer, the Liu family dared to be so unscrupulous.
Outsiders didn't know the relationship between Constable Sun and the Liu family, but the eldest sister-in-law knew it all. How could the eldest sister-in-law dare to offend the Liu family? Especially for her, who had already received the betrothal gift and married into the family.
Zhou Yan refused to move aside, and Liu Sheng was afraid to go forward out of concern for the Zhou brothers. Mrs. Liu couldn't call out Jiang Yu, and the yard became quiet for a while.
Suddenly, Wang Chuntao in the room groaned and shouted, "My stomach feels uncomfortable. Please bring some food in quickly. It would be bad if my grandson went hungry."
Mrs. Liu immediately became furious and pointed her finger at Jiang Yu, shouting, "Did you hear that? Go get some breakfast and bring it in! I'm telling you, our Liu family only has Sheng'er as their only child, and you're such a loser. If you continue to affect my golden grandson, I'll skin you alive!"
She gave birth to five money-losing babies before she finally had a son, giving the Liu family an heir. As a great contributor to the Liu family, she had long disliked Jiang Yu.
"Why don't you go quickly! If you weren't useless, why would I need to go out and look for someone else? Now that cousin Chuntao is working hard for you, you should be grateful to her.
Mom is old and an elder, so of course you have to do these things." Liu Sheng was also anxious and hurriedly urged.
"Bah! I've never seen anyone working so hard for others!" Zhou Yan was extremely angry.
The villagers outside the adobe wall opened their eyes wide, thinking they had misheard, especially the women, who kept whispering to each other.
"The Liu family is so shameless! If I were you, I'd already brought the one outside back. Wouldn't it be enough to just let Jiang Yu go back? Why waste him here?"
This is simply not something a human would do!
"You got married late, so you don't understand. Mrs. Liu gave birth to five daughters before giving birth to Liu Sheng, her only child. Didn't she treat him like the apple of her eye? How could she let him work?
Mrs. Liu has five daughters. When her daughter-in-law came into the family, she was used to being served and would not serve others herself. If Jiang Yu was driven away, who would do the work?
"Hey, Liu Sheng has five older sisters, but why haven't I seen them return to their parents' home? I haven't heard which village they married into, or what their husband's family name is."
"How can it be called a marriage? Do you think they all make a living by digging in the dirt? His Liu family is small and lazy. Where did they get the money to build a brick house and marry one wife after another?"
"Could it be that she was sold to a wealthy family as a concubine?"
"Oh, can you become a concubine of a wealthy family just because you want to? They don't want every woman. It would be great if you could really be sold to a wealthy family as a concubine! It's still a hundred times better than going to a brothel!"
The young bride who had just married in front gasped.
A voice of persuasion immediately rang out from the side: "Stop talking, don't say anything. I heard that the girl from the Liu family has hooked up with the head of the police. Be careful that they will cause trouble!"
"If you whisper something in my ear, you'll be in big trouble."
"Mrs. Liu is so proud. Let's just pretend we don't know anything about this."
"Alas, it's a pity for a girl who marries into the Liu family. She can't leave."
.....
The discussion became more and more frequent and louder. Liu Sheng looked at Zhou Yan who was blocking the way and exchanged glances with Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu rushed to Zhou Yan's left to grab Jiang Yu, and Zhou Yan instinctively moved to the left to block her.
Liu Sheng seized the opportunity, rushed to the right, grabbed Jiang Yu's tied-up hair, and used his hands to pull him out by the hair!
Jiang Yu's hair was pulled and she couldn't lift her head at all. She staggered and slapped Liu Sheng with her hands at first. Then, as if she thought of something, she endured the severe pain from her scalp and touched her head.
Her hairpin!
Since you can't survive, why should you let the beast in front of you go!
Liu Sheng grabbed Jiang Yu's hair with one hand and was about to slap her with the other hand. He said proudly, "I wonder who else can protect you!"
"Stop!" The loud shouts rang out at the same time.
Liu Sheng trembled all over, raised his hand high, and before it fell, someone rushed over and knocked him away.
The man was so strong that he was knocked back. Naturally, the strength in his hands loosened, and he fell back several meters until he hit the brick house and stopped.
Mrs. Liu, who was originally trying to hold Zhou Yan back, saw her precious son being knocked far away. She had no intention of holding Zhou Yan back and rushed over, crying loudly: "My son, are you okay? Does it hurt?"
She wiped her tears and snot and looked at the person who came.
When he saw this, he was stunned.
