(1970s-80s, slapping faces, daily life, getting rich, raising kids) Wang Yuqing died from overwork and transmigrated to the late 1970s into a family of seven, becoming the family's保姆 (nanny/mai...
Chapter 164 She saved Miao Ying, who was being abused at home.
When Wang Yuqing returned home, she didn't tell Grandma Ji about it, afraid that the old lady would worry and get sick from it.
Grandma Ji asked her, "Is Pearl doing well at her husband's family? Has she been bullied?"
Wang Yuqing replied, "Grandma, she's doing alright. Her clothes are all ready, and they fit her perfectly."
After hearing this, Grandma Ji was relieved and said with a smile, "She is hardworking and diligent, and will be a good daughter-in-law."
Wang Yuqing felt a pang of sadness.
When she went to bed that night, she told Ji Xuening about Ji Zhenzhu.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuening was first shocked, then furious. He immediately sat up in bed, got dressed, and prepared to go out to find the Jia family.
Wang Yuqing quickly jumped off the bed and grabbed his arm: "Don't go. I've already resolved this matter. I'll go to my aunt's house the day after tomorrow. If I find that they are still bullying her, I'll beat them to death."
Ji Xuening was still furious.
He was closest to Ji Zhenzhu since childhood and wouldn't allow her to be bullied by her in-laws.
Wang Yuqing gently shook his shoulder, her tone like she was coaxing a child: "Don't be angry, leave it to me, just focus on making money..."
The voice was soft and gentle, and Ji Xuening's anger was instantly extinguished.
His eyes were filled with gratitude and love as he looked at Wang Yuqing: "Thank you."
Wang Yuqing noticed the close contact between the two, quickly let go, and returned to the bed: "We're an old married couple, no need to thank me."
Ji Xuening was stunned. Had they become an old married couple after only a little over a month?
the next day.
Wang Yuqing got up and squatted at the door to eat breakfast when she was drawn to the sounds of beatings and cursing from the Zhou family next door.
She looked towards the door next door and saw the eldest son of the Zhou family beating a woman with a club. He was hitting her very hard, and his face was full of sinister energy.
The man was very tall and thin, with a narrow forehead, messy eyebrows, and triangular eyes.
The typical appearance of a domestic abuser.
Clothes were scattered all over the ground nearby.
The woman covered her head and tried to dodge, sobbing and pleading, "Stop hitting me! Are you trying to kill me? We just got our marriage certificate yesterday and started living together today, and you're already hitting me? What will people think of your Zhou family?"
The boy didn't say anything, so he hit even harder.
Wang Yuqing felt the voice was familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Yingzi, the girl who had greeted her the day she first arrived at the Ji family.
She hated and despised men who hit women more than anything in her life, but she wasn't one to meddle in other people's business. Besides, she could save her once, but not for the rest of her life.
In the end, it all depends on her.
Just as she was struggling with her decision, the woman dodged and stumbled to her side, grabbed her shoulders, and pleaded with red eyes, "Save me, he'll beat me to death, please."
Wang Yuqing softened and saved her, protecting her behind her. She swiftly snatched the stick from Zhou Ying's hand and berated him, calling him a scoundrel and saying that the more someone loves domestic violence, the more useless they are.
Zhou Ying knew that Wang Yuqing was not someone to be trifled with, so he didn't dare to continue hitting Miao Ying.
I can only play at home after the store closes at night!
At this moment, the old lady of the Zhou family, who was standing at the door, said coldly, "Shan, stop hitting her. People will laugh at you. Although she deserves to be beaten for not washing her clothes properly, you just got your marriage certificate and are living together. Don't drive her away. Otherwise, someone will add fuel to the fire, and we won't be able to explain ourselves."
As Zhou Shan left, he turned back and stared at Wang Yuqing with a gloomy expression.
Miao Ying collapsed to the ground, burying her face in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhou's other daughter-in-law, Li Shuqin, carefully avoided her in-laws and ran up to them, asking worriedly, "Yingzi, are you alright? Come to my house, I'll put some medicine on you."
Her voice was honest and her eyesight was foolish, but she was a kind-hearted person.
When she went to help Miao Ying, Miao Ying pushed her away in disgust, saying, "I'm fine."
Li Shuqin, lacking any discernment, continued to tug at her arm, saying, "How can you say it's nothing? That was from being hit with a stick. I get hit all the time, it hurts so much."
Miao Ying sat up from the ground and hid behind Wang Yuqing.
Li Shuqin said, "We are sisters-in-law, how could I possibly harm you? To put it bluntly, we are all outsiders to the Zhou family."
She wanted to go forward, but her man called her back with a phone call.
Before leaving, she turned back and said, "I have some medicine for bruises and sprains at home. If you want to use it, come find me."
Miao Ying didn't take her kind words to heart. She thanked Wang Yuqing with a very humble attitude: "Yuqing, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would definitely have been beaten to death by him."
Wang Yuqing chatted with Miao Ying for a few more minutes and learned that she and Zhou Ying had registered their marriage yesterday but hadn't held a wedding banquet.
The reason I was beaten was because I boiled hot water to wash the dishes.
Miao Ying said, "You and your husband didn't have a wedding banquet either, did you?"
Wang Yuqing nodded.
Miao Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly: "We are both pitiful people in the same boat. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and we didn't even have a wedding banquet or anything. It's really meaningless."
Wang Yuqing didn't tell her that the Ji family didn't want to hold a banquet because they didn't want to.
They knew they weren't actually the same kind of people.
Miao Ying continued, “People all over my hometown are still gossiping about you. It’s really awful. I often can’t stand it, but I don’t have the ability to stand up for you because they’re not afraid of me. They gossip about you and me, saying that my parents sold me out.”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly took Wang Yuqing's hand and deliberately moved closer: "Yuqing, you and I are the same kind of people. Now we are neighbors. In the future, we will have each other's company and help each other."
Seeing Wang Yuqing's cold expression, she sighed, "I never expected your parents to be even more ruthless than mine. Fortunately, they got their punishment."
Wang Yuqing was in a hurry to get to work at the brigade headquarters and left in a rush.
Miao Ying watched Wang Yuqing's departing figure with envy, muttering to herself, "You used to be as unpopular as me, but now you've become the captain of the non-staple food team."
How wonderful it would be if I could get in myself!
She followed Zhou Ying to work in the fields. On their way home from work that evening, Zhou Ying whipped her with a stick, saying, "Miao Ying, you still dare to seek a backer? She can protect you the first time, but she can't protect you every time! Are you still lying to her about the truth?"
Miao Ying dared not resist.
Let the bamboo strips fall on my shoulders, back, and back of my head...
She was afraid that if she resisted, he would beat her even more severely.
In the end, it was Ji Xuening, who was on patrol, who saw it. As the militia company commander, he went up and reprimanded Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying was still somewhat afraid of Ji Xuening.
Very cowardly.
Ji Xuening warned him that if he did it again, he would have the brigade headquarters hold a meeting on the spot to criticize and denounce Zhou Ying.
This terrified Zhou Ying. Although he didn't say anything, he had already thrown away the bamboo stick.
Miao Ying stepped forward to thank him. Looking at Ji Xuening's demeanor and character, and then thinking about the man she had married, she felt that the world was indeed unfair.
Ji Xuening dislikes weak women. He said, "Women hold up half the sky. How can women allow themselves to be beaten? You must learn to protect yourself."
In this respect, he felt that no one could compare to Wang Yuqing.
