Political Commissar Sun saw that there was a small package inside with Yang Zhengping's name on it. It felt like a jar. He would not look at other people's things. Since Tian Cai dared to mail it here, he was not afraid of them looking at it.

He called his orderly and handed him the package, "Send it to Doctor Yang."

"yes!"

Yang Zhengping had just received the package and hadn't understood what it was yet. He opened the jar and smelled it. There was a faint medicinal smell, which was not unpleasant. He didn't know what it was used for until he saw the so-called instructions below. He was instantly amused by Tian Cai.

After laughing, he felt relieved. He said that the old man made a bad move, and he had to take action. Anyone could see that this girl had a bright future. If he didn't repair the relationship now, it would be difficult to get close to her when she became successful!

After washing up in the evening, Yang Zhengping looked at his still youthful face in the mirror, but still felt a little bit insecure. He squinted his eyes and felt that there seemed to be some "crow's feet" at the corners of his eyes. Could it be that he was really old?

He reached out and touched it, and it seemed a little dry. Since it was made by that little girl, the effect should be good. Yang Zhengping opened the door and went out to take a look. Seeing that everyone in the family was asleep, he secretly opened the lid, scooped out a lump and smeared it on his face.

He just tried it once, well, really just tried it!

At the end of the first month of the lunar year, a major incident occurred in Fangshan Brigade. For a time, men in the surrounding villages who liked to beat their wives kept their tails between their legs and no longer dared to use their fists on their wives.

Tian Cai also knew the person who caused this big incident. It was Yang Weihong who had come to see the doctor with injuries before.

She hacked her husband Li Fugen to death with a kitchen knife.

The last time Yang Weihong was beaten like that, Li Fugen only visited her home a few times after she recovered and gave her some valuable things. Even though the matter was over, everyone except his father advised her to be obedient and not make trouble in the future, and also advised her to go back with him.

She was sensitive and could sense any slight deviation from her family's attitude. When she first returned home, her parents felt distressed when they saw the injuries on her body, but this distress was gradually dissipated as she ate and drank for free.

Yang Weihong was recuperating at home. Tian Cai said that her rib injury had not yet healed completely and she could not do heavy work, so she went to the fields every day to help sweep the yard, clean the chicken coop, or help her mother and two sisters-in-law make fire and cook.

Yang Weihong also knew that after she got married, she would be an outsider in her parents' home. She didn't dare to eat too much at every meal, for fear that her family would send her back. She stayed there cautiously for more than half a month. When her wounds were almost healed, her two sisters-in-law seemed to have made an appointment to criticize her every day. At first, her mother sided with her, but later, perhaps because she had heard too much, she also began to persuade her.

Yang Weihong didn't want to go back. She trembled all over when she thought of Li Fugen, but she couldn't persuade her family, especially after Li Fugen came to apologize several times, her opinion no longer mattered.

Nothing happened on the night she and Li Fugen returned home, but the next night he became even more aggressive after drinking. After that, Yang Weihong's injuries never healed, with new ones always piling up on old ones.

In addition to punching and kicking her, he also made a whip and dipped it in salt water to whip her. The wounds caused by the salt water were extremely painful and difficult to heal.

Yang Weihong had thought about divorce more than once. She was not afraid of having nowhere to go after the divorce. She would rather go back to Qingshan Village and build a shack and eat coarse food than stay here. But Li Fugen was afraid that she would run back to her parents' home again, so he asked her second aunt and her mother-in-law who lived nearby to look after her, and she could only move around in her own yard at most.

Last spring, there was an outbreak of meningitis, and Li Fugen was also infected. That period was the most relaxing time for Yang Weihong. She wished that he would never get better. Patients with meningitis were quarantined, and her mother-in-law worried about her son all day long. She no longer had the mood to look after her, and she could only take a walk in the village occasionally.

Tian Cai happened to be in the Fangshan Brigade at that time. He could tell from Yang Weihong's awkward walking posture that she was injured, so he secretly left her some medicine he had with him.

After Yang Weihong got better and had nothing to do, she often went to the brigade headquarters to help. She especially liked to watch Tian Cai from afar, watching her wearing a mask and moving between patients, dealing with various sudden illnesses calmly, and not changing her expression even when a child vomited on her, and even comforting her in a soft voice.

Yang Weihong couldn't take her eyes off her. She felt that this girl was what she dreamed of becoming: independent, courageous, and warming the people around her like a little sun, yet she could also do it without compromising herself.

Looking at the smile on Tian Cai's face, Yang Weihong didn't even feel the injuries on his body, as if that smile could sweep away the haze in the world and eliminate all the pain.

After that, the meningitis was brought under control, and Tian Cai and his medical team withdrew from the Fangshan Brigade. Li Fugen was cured and released. He was quiet for a while but then relapsed.

Yang Weihong's face was numb every time. She could no longer feel the fists hitting her body. No matter how Li Fugen abused her, she neither resisted nor screamed. She would only groan softly when the pain was severe.

After a few times, Li Fugen found it boring and started to do it less and less.

Years ago, Yang Weihong discovered that she was pregnant. This was her second pregnancy after several miscarriages. She thought that Li Fugen was not beating her as hard as before, so if she took good care of the baby, she might be able to give birth to the child.

She had a smile on her lips and gently stroked her belly with one hand. This child would be her only relative in the world. She just didn't know if the child would despise her for being a useless mother?

But this beast still didn't know how to restrain himself after knowing that she was pregnant. He even poured boiling water directly into her collar once, burning a large area of ​​Yang Weihong's chest skin. When Li Fugen let her go, the clothes were already stuck to her flesh, and a large piece was torn off with a single movement.

What happened next?

Later, she suffered more and more injuries, and finally, the child she had been looking forward to for so long also passed away.

After crying for a while, Yang Weihong returned to her usual self, but an idea gradually became clear in her mind.

Since he won't let her go, then let's leave together, even if it means dying together. This way, they can be reunited as a family.

Finally, after Li Fugen got drunk again, Yang Weihong waited for the opportunity.

When Tian Cai, Qin Ling and several educated youth arrived at the Fangshan Brigade, Li Fugen's house was surrounded by people in three layers. It was a very cold day, and a group of people were discussing in low voices with fear on their faces. Occasionally they would stretch their necks to look inside, and they were so cold that they would shrink back and refuse to go back.

A woman's crying was heard in the yard. Tian Cai learned from the crowd that the person crying was Li Fugen's mother.
