She raised her little head, smiled at the villager, and stretched out her little hand to signal him to fetch water!

The villagers were overjoyed and quickly thanked him for fetching water!

The villagers started by showering Tian Guoguo with compliments, which made her laugh and they all splashed water on her.

In the end, only the Xie family remained.

In the entire Qingshan Village, only the Xie family and the Tian family have a bad relationship. Ding Zhaodi just mocked them, and now you expect them to flatter and fetch water?

How could they possibly risk that kind of shame?

Ding Zhaodi wanted Xie Daniu to go, but Xie Daniu was still angry because He Shi had subtly mocked him for being afraid of his wife, so he refused to go!

If he goes, the villagers will definitely laugh at him!

Instead, he sent Ding Zhaodi!

When Ding Zhaodi saw that he wasn't going, she wanted her two younger sisters-in-law or her two daughters-in-law to go instead, but unfortunately, they also refused to go!

It's worth noting that they were the ones who spearheaded the mockery and gossip about Tian Guoguo being a jinx!

If we go there now, won't we get beaten up?

Why don't we wait until Xie Shuyan wakes up?

Of the entire Xie family, only Xie Shuyan has a good relationship with the Tian family!

They waited until nightfall, but Xie Shuyan still didn't wake up, and some villagers even started fetching water a second time...

Xie Daniu finally panicked!

He's a grown man, so he can't take his anger out on his daughters-in-law and siblings. He can only vent his anger on his wife!

She picked up a tree branch from the ground and ran angrily to Ding Zhaodi, who was cooking.

He didn't say anything!

He lashed out and whipped Ding Zhaodi hard across the back, yelling, "You don't listen to me, do you? I'll beat you to death today!"

Ding Zhaodi was stunned by the beating!

Before she could react, Xie Daniu's next whip came flying down!

Xie Daniu is a man, and he is very strong.

Ding Zhaodi was knocked to the ground. She tried to get up and fight back, but she was knocked down again!

She screamed in pain!

Hearing the commotion, the surrounding villagers all craned their necks to see what was going on!

The Tian family also noticed the Xie family's movements!

Wen was a straightforward person, and because she came from a family of镖局 (security escort agencies), she always adhered to the principle of taking action rather than talking.

When Guoguo asked someone to fetch water, Ding Zhaodi came over and mocked her…

At that time, Wen wanted to hit her!

As a result, Mr. He blocked it.

He's family used to be in business. He had received an education since childhood, and although she didn't speak in a refined manner, she never used foul language.

At that time, He said that Ding Zhaodi's words made Wen feel weak and submissive.

Especially later, Ding Zhaodi even dared to gossip...

Wen almost couldn't resist stepping forward and slapping her.

But then she thought that there were many villagers around, and if she made a move, it would not only be disrespectful to her second sister-in-law, but it would also turn a justified argument into an unreasonable one!

She endured it!

She had planned to go to the Xie family's house quietly that evening to deal with Ding Zhaodi, but before she could do anything, Xie Daniu struck first.

Let's carefully consider Xie Daniu's words when he scolded Ding Zhaodi...

He was implying that Ding Zhaodi was disobedient and had made him lose face, and he wanted to teach Ding Zhaodi a lesson for everyone to see!

Wen belatedly realized…

Although what my second sister-in-law said at the time didn't seem very impactful, it had a powerful aftereffect!

Seeing the villagers' gazes, Xie Daniu tightened his grip on the branch, determined to show them...

In the Xie family, he was the one in charge of Ding Zhaodi!

Ding Zhaodi was beaten so badly that she had no chance to fight back. The two sons of the Xie family wanted to come over and persuade her, but then they thought better of it.

They all knew their father's temperament...

If we try to stop them now, they might get beaten up too!

Ding Zhaodi was beaten quite badly; her thick top was torn, and there seemed to be bloodstains on it.

Xie Daniu hasn't stopped yet.

The villagers of Qingshan Village were all stunned, never expecting Xie Daniu to be so ruthless.

The village chief couldn't stand it any longer and came over to tell him to stop!

He then angrily threw down the branch!

Ding Zhaodi's face was streaked with tears. If she had been beaten before fleeing the famine, she would definitely have fought back, since Xie Daniu hadn't actually hit her much!

When the two usually argued at home, Xie Daniu rarely hit him, but she often punched and beat him!

But now…

Ding Zhaodi wasn't stupid. After being beaten so badly by Xie Daniu, how could she not guess what Xie Daniu was thinking?

At this point, if she wants to have a good life in the future, she has no choice but to endure it!

His fierce gaze, however, was fixed on the Tian family's side.

She will remember this grudge!

Coincidentally, Xie Shuyan, who was originally unconscious, slowly regained consciousness at this moment.

He was lying in the same spot where Ding Zhaodi had been.

He groggily opened his eyes and saw that his mother was trembling all over. He couldn't help but feel nervous and forced himself to sit up.

He tugged at his mother's arm, asking worriedly.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Ding Zhaodi was already annoyed when she suddenly heard Xie Shuyan's voice, which instantly intensified her anger.

...

"It's all your fault, you little bastard!"

Without a second thought, Ding Zhaodi grabbed Xie Shuyan by the collar and launched into a tirade of abuse.

Xie Shuyan was completely bewildered by the scolding.

What did he do?

Seeing his mother's fierce expression, he was a little scared and stammered as he tried to ask her what he had done wrong.

Before he could even speak, his mother threw him half a meter away.

Xie Shuyan was very thin. Although Ding Zhaodi was not as strong as a man, she still used a lot of force, and Xie Shuyan felt like her whole body was about to fall apart when she was thrown.

Needless to say, this must have been incredibly painful!

He immediately burst into tears.

This once again attracted the attention of the villagers, who all looked over.

Xie Daniu also looked over.

However, Xie Daniu didn't care about Xie Shuyan's life or death. When he saw Xie Shuyan being thrown out, he didn't say a word.

The surrounding villagers were used to it.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie Daniu disliked Xie Shuyan since childhood, but Old Master Xie treated Xie Shuyan very well.

Unfortunately, the old man has passed away.

When Xie Shuyan was still a child prodigy, Xie Daniu and his wife never hit him. But after he injured his head, they would beat and scold him at every turn!

Not only that, they also often prevented Xie Shuyan from eating.

For example, tonight.

I reckon Xie Shuyan is going to go hungry again!

The villagers watched silently, but no one went forward to offer any advice.

It's not that they didn't want to persuade them, it's just that they had tried to persuade them before, but the Xie family had chased them out with beatings and curses!

So, who would dare to go?

The village chief was also exasperated. He tried to persuade Xie Daniu and Ding Zhaodi to talk things over, but Xie Daniu wouldn't listen, let alone offer any other advice.

So the village chief simply stopped talking.

He puffed on his pipe twice, then turned to leave.

He had only taken a few steps when Xie Shuyan, who had been crying, suddenly stopped, followed by Ding Zhaodi's voice.

"Shuyan, it was my fault just now..."

"Oh dear, please don't cry. Your mother feels so guilty and heartbroken."

this…

The surrounding villagers, the village chief, and the Tian family members not far away were all dumbfounded.

Is Ding Zhaodi possessed by an evil spirit?

Ever since the passing of the Xie family patriarch, Ding Zhaodi has been beating Xie Shuyan every few days, and after each beating, she would also scold him!

Never before have I tried to coax him like this.

etc.

Is he about to do something sinister again?

As everyone expected, Ding Zhaodi staggered back to get a water bag, returned and handed it to Xie Shuyan, saying in a very gentle tone.
