When a promising young man from the 21st century transmigrates to the 1960s, he transforms into the notoriously vicious old man Zhao Youcai. He finds himself surrounded by a horde of troublesome de...
"Fellow villagers, when Sun Tiezhu married my sister, he promised to treat her well, but this is how he treated her."
"If my brothers hadn't caught us red-handed today, we might have really beaten my sister and the child to death."
"A beast like that! If my Zhao family were to let my sister stay in this house for even a day longer, then all the men in my Zhao family would be cowards!"
"Those who say it's okay to beat your wife, come here and let me beat you up and see what happens! As the great man said, women hold up half the sky. When did anyone dare to treat women like they're not human beings?"
The onlookers from Sunjia Village looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhao Lao Er's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they didn't know how to refute them.
At this moment, Zhao Jianhua gave his second brother an approving look.
Knowing that his second brother was out of things to say, he quickly picked up the conversation and continued:
"Today, I would like to trouble you all to be my witnesses. Since Sun Tiezhu has acted improperly, my brother and I, representing the entire Zhao family, will take my sister and her three children back to her parents' home."
"From now on, my sister and her three children have nothing to do with the Sun family anymore. If that beast Sun Tiezhu dares to come to my Zhao family to cause trouble and demand our people, I'll break his legs!"
After saying that, the two brothers picked up their bamboo baskets, grabbed their eldest sister Zhao Chunhua, and took their three little nieces with them, and headed out.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunhua, who had been pretending to be strong, instantly burst into tears.
They say that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup, but I never imagined I'd have a younger brother who would stand up for me so strongly.
The women who were watching also had tears in their eyes when they saw this scene.
Many of these women were once pampered and raised by their parents and brothers. But after getting married, their relationships with their maternal families became more or less distant.
As women themselves, they understand all too well how true the saying "a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup" really is.
She also knows how much security a protective family can bring her.
Hearing Zhao Lao Er's bold words with my own ears, I immediately felt that this man from the Zhao family was a true man.
Several women stood there, contemplating whether they should go home and complain to their families. What if someone stood up for them?
The worst outcome would be just another beating.
But if someone stands up for you, you'll get beaten up much less often in the future.
Who would give up a good life? Only a fool would.
The two brothers, completely unaware of the shock they would cause others, were now protecting their eldest sister as they walked out, carefully making sure the cloth in the basket wasn't torn.
"Big sister, don't cry. No matter where you are or what you've been through, as long as you have the surname Zhao and still recognize us, your belated brothers, you will always be a member of the Zhao family."
From now on, your family will protect you, and we'll never let a beast like Sun Tiezhu bully you and the children again.
Zhao Lao Er said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination.
When Zhao Laosan heard what his second brother had just said, he nodded vigorously, his heart filled with a thousand words, which boiled down to one sentence: "Me too!"
With the assurances of her two younger brothers, and reflecting on what she and her children had gone through over the years, Zhao Chunhua felt that there was no point in staying in this place any longer.
Holding the two babies without a second thought, she gently whispered to her eldest daughter, who was still unsteady on her feet:
"Let's leave the junk at home and go back to your maternal grandfather's house with Mom."
Suddenly, a woman's figure darted out from the crowd, her voice cracking and screeching like a screaming chicken.
"I don't agree!"
"We bought this wife with money and food coupons, let's see who dares to take her away!"
Zhao Lao Er glanced over and recognized the woman as Wang Guilan, Sun Tiezhu's unreasonable and domineering mother.
Wang Guilan had been hiding in the crowd, not daring to show herself, hoping that her son could cover it up.
Unexpectedly, the two Zhao brothers managed to scare their son so much that he hid in the house and dared not show his face, and they even wanted to take Zhao Chunhua and the three worthless girls away.
If they didn't come out soon, the person would really run away, and they would gain nothing but embarrassment.
Wang Guilan reluctantly stepped forward.
"What, your beastly son is too scared to come out, so you, his old mother with a lisp, have to come out and stop him?"
Zhao Lao Er sneered, "What good is it if you disagree? Don't you know that in Zhao Jia Gou, there's no one I can't beat if I want to, and no one I can't take away if I want to?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guilan's heart skipped a beat. She had long heard of the reputation of the second son of the Zhao family; he was a real firecracker, and when it came to beating people, he was truly fearless.
Moreover, his son was caught red-handed beating his wife today, so it's really hard to cover it up.
Thinking this, Wang Guilan quietly stepped back and hid in the crowd, as if the villagers would give her strength, and bravely said:
“I said no, and that’s final. Zhao kid, this isn’t Zhao Family Village. Your word doesn’t count. So what if you hit a woman? Your sister can’t even give birth to a son, she deserves to be beaten!”
"Say it again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lao Er pretended to put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, picked up the carrying pole, and was about to rush towards Wang Guilan.
Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in uproar and hurriedly scattered, covering their heads and fleeing, fearing that they would be beaten by Zhao Lao Er, who was wielding a carrying pole.
Wang Guilan was also terrified, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly waved her hands, her teeth chattering.
"You can take those three good-for-nothing kids with you. My family doesn't support freeloaders. But your sister has to stay."
"Take the little girl away?" Zhao Lao Er stopped what he was doing, somewhat bewildered, wondering what this woman was up to.
However, what the other person said next instantly enraged him again.
“Your sister has to stay and work for our family. We’ll send her back when the three kids grow up, and the bride price will still go to our Sun family.”
Upon hearing Wang Guilan's words, Zhao Lao Er stopped talking and swung his carrying pole at Wang Guilan.
Seeing that things were not going well, the latter took off running and quickly disappeared from sight.
No one knows how that old lady with her missing teeth managed to run so fast. She's disappeared somewhere now, leaving a bunch of onlookers to watch the show.
Zhao Lao Er sneered and turned back into the courtyard.
"Third brother, eldest sister, let's go."
The second brother called out, and while picking out fabrics with the third brother, they each made sure to free up one hand to hold a child.
Sun Tiezhu didn't dare to utter a single word from beginning to end.
The onlookers whispered amongst themselves, and after what had just happened, no one dared to utter a word of dissent.
After all, Sun Tiezhu was in the wrong today. Who told this bastard to always treat his wife and children like enemies and beat them to death? Now that his wife's family caught him red-handed, he deserved it.
These past few days, Zhao Youcai's name has been making waves. He's arguably the most successful person in the surrounding villages.
Not only did they produce a college graduate, but they could also get fabric from textile factories. Who would dare to mess with the Zhao family?
wrong!
