That night, Old Lady Wang started to yell again, and Chen Qiushu shouted irritably toward the outer room: "Sister-in-law, hurry up."
Wang Huilian heard this and pulled her hair with both hands in annoyance. She gnashed her teeth and cursed quietly in her bed: "What is mother trying to do? Do you want me to live? There is no quilt to change, why are you yelling? Can you just wipe the quilt dry?"
After complaining, he simply covered himself with the quilt and pretended he couldn't hear anything.
Chen Qiushu called out several times, but there was no movement from his eldest brother's room. His mother was still calling out over there.
He was so angry that he yelled at the outer room: "Is everyone dead in your house? You didn't hear me shouting so much? Are you pretending to be dead? Big brother, don't pretend you can't hear me. Believe it or not, I will let the whole village know about you two right now."
Chen Chunshu in that room knew that the third child was a scoundrel who could do anything. In order to have a good sleep, he pushed Wang Huilian: "Just go over and see what you can do. You're disturbing the whole family's sleep."
Wang Huilian was furious when she heard her husband say this. Without even thinking, she slapped him on the head and said, "Why don't you go?"
The slap landed right on Shen Chunshu's ear, making his head feel dizzy.
When Shen Chunshu realized that he was beaten by his wife, he became furious. He stood up, grabbed Wang Huilian's hair and started punching her.
"You stinky bitch, you are so rebellious that you dare to hit your master? I usually give you face, right?"
Shen Weimin and Shen Limin, who were dissatisfied with the stench in the east room, had moved back to the west room a long time ago. When they saw their father and mother fighting in the middle of the night, they stood up together with Shen Hongmei to try to stop the fight.
Shen Weimin had a foot injury and was inconvenient, so Shen Limin and Shen Hongmei finally pulled Shen Chunshu away.
At this time, Wang Huilian's eyes were broken and the corners of her mouth were blue. Her nose, which had just healed, started bleeding again, and the quilt and pillow were covered with blood.
Chen Chunshu was panting as he was pulled away by his youngest son. He stood on the ground and pointed at Wang Huilian and cursed: "You bastard, you deserve a beating. If you dare to challenge me again next time, I will beat you to death!"
Wang Huilian only felt pain in her head, body and heart. She lay on the pillow and cried loudly, complaining as she cried.
"I didn't chop him into a paralysis, why should I serve him? Why? Whoever did this should go, I won't go anyway!"
"Chen Chunshu, you are not a human being. I have spent half my life with you, and you treat me like this? When I married you, what did you have? You didn't have a single hair. I followed you through hardships, and you treat me like this?"
Wang Huilian cried from serving the old lady to losing everything she had when she just got married. The more she cried, the more she felt that she had married the wrong person. She lay on the kang and cried and shouted that she would not live anymore and that the Shen family was bullying her to death.
Just at this moment, Chen Qiushu from the opposite room came over wearing a cotton jacket and said, "If you want to die, wait until you finish serving the old lady before dying. Hurry up."
Wang Huilian straightened her upper body, pointed at Shen Qiushu and cursed: "You are not a good person either. Isn't that your mother lying on the kang? Having a son like you is worse than giving birth to a bedbug."
Is Chen Qiushu the kind of person who doesn't talk back when being scolded?
He immediately pointed at Wang Huilian and retorted: "Who do you think you are? Do you believe that I can slap you to death?" As he said that, he was about to step forward and attack.
No matter how fierce Shen Limin was, he would not let others beat his mother in front of him. He pulled Shen Qiushu's arm and said, "Sanbai, what do you want to do?"
Shen Qiushu turned around and saw that it was him. He slapped his hand away and said, "What do you think I'm going to do? Fuck your mother!"
Shen Limin raised his fist and hit Shen Qiushu in the face, which really stirred up a hornet's nest, and the west room was suddenly in chaos.
Shen Qiushu and Shen Liming started fighting with each other.
Except for Shen Weimin who was lying on the kang, the others all came over to stop the fight.
Finally, Old Man Shen from the east room and the second couple from the small east room also came over.
The crowd pulled the two men apart, and Old Man Shen pointed his pipe at their heads, hitting each of them.
Chen Qiushu refused to accept the defeat, his eyes reddened and he said stubbornly: "Dad, why did you hit me? It was the little bastard who started it first. He dared to hit his elders. I think he is tired of living."
Wang Huilian touched her youngest son's face distressedly. After hearing what he said, she immediately retorted: "Then what if you want to hit your sister-in-law? I think you are the one who is tired of living!"
The uncle and the sister-in-law cursed at each other from a distance.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Old Man Shen hit Old Man Shen’s head with his pipe, who was holding Old Man Shen’s hand.
This was so sudden that Shen Lao Er was stunned for a while before he asked in confusion: "Dad, why did you hit me? I came here to stop the fight!"
Old Man Shen's hands were shaking with anger: "If it weren't for you, how could such a mess happen in our family? I wish I could beat you to death!"
Li Xiang was originally behind Wang Huilian. Seeing the old man vent his anger on her own master, she was so scared that she hid behind Wang Huilian.
He will definitely be beaten again when he gets home.
Li Xiang moved, which caught Wang Huilian's attention. She pulled her out from behind with both hands and pushed her to the middle.
"We need to come up with some rules for serving the old lady. Since everyone is here, we must work it out tonight!"
Li Xiang stood in the middle trembling, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, not knowing what to do.
Old man Shen looked around at the people in the room, lowered his eyes and paused for a moment, then said in a bad mood: "Go to the east room." After that, he was the first to leave the west room.
In the small east room, Shen Siyue, wearing a cotton-padded jacket and hunching her shoulders, was leaning against the door frame, listening with great interest to the sounds of a fight coming from next door.
She couldn't miss this kind of infighting without her having to instigate it.
The Shen family used to be too harmonious. All the sufferings were borne by the original Shen Siyue alone. How boring would that be?
How wonderful and lively is it now? Staying up late at night to hold family meetings, hahaha.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Shen Siyue wrapped herself tightly in her torn cotton-padded jacket and slipped to the window of the east room to eavesdrop.
Well, it’s a bit hard. The winter in Northeast China is cold, and the nights are even colder.
In the room, Wang Huilian tearfully accused the second brother's family. To sum it up in one sentence: Because of the sins and troubles your family has committed, you have to serve the old lady.
Li Xiang felt guilty and whispered: "It's okay for me to serve you during the day, but you can't hear it in our room at night."
Wang Huilian immediately said, "Then move Mom to your room."
It would save me from having to ask her for help all the time. Besides, the old lady now fills the house with a smell of urine, and we can’t open the windows in winter to get rid of the smell. People who come here will laugh at us in the future.
Li Xiang couldn't make a decision, so she turned to look at Chen Xiashu.
Chen Xiashu only lowered his head and said four words: "I listen to my father."
Wang Huilian was just about to settle down happily, but old lady Wang lying on the kang was not happy. Why should she move?
This is her own room and she is not going anywhere.
“Ahhhh…Ahhh…Wopuqu…”
When she heard that she would be moved to the second son's room, Old Mrs. Wang became so anxious that she drooled and protested, and she could even pronounce some words.
