Li Xiang looked up and saw Chen Xiashu with an angry face. She was about to open her mouth to explain, but Chen Xiashu didn't give her a chance to open her mouth. He swung his arm and slapped Li Xiang hard on the head.
"Ah..." Li Xiang fell on the kang all of a sudden. She felt stars in front of her eyes and her head was buzzing and she could not hear anything.
Chen Xiashu was still not satisfied after beating her, so he walked to the kang, held her body with one hand, and slapped Li Xiang with the other.
While beating him, he scolded: "You are a jinx, you just stay at home and don't even cook. I told you to be lazy, so I let you be lazy and break your lazy muscles. Let's see if you are still lazy or not."
"I wasn't being lazy. It was my mother who grabbed my clothes and wouldn't let me go. Ah... I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The thin Li Xiang had no power to fight back. She cried while explaining. She could only curl up and protect her head with her hands, allowing the man's slap to fall on her.
Old Mrs. Wang finally loosened her hand and watched her son beat his wife without saying a word. Just now she regarded Li Xiang as her life-saving straw, but now her face was full of hatred.
She felt that the second son's wife deserved a beating because she did not stay at home to serve her but ran away to be lazy.
Chen Xiashu beat him for quite a while before stopping.
He yelled at Li Xiang who was lying on the kang: "What are you still doing lying there? Are you waiting for me to feed you? Why don't you go and help your sister-in-law cook?"
Li Xiang endured the pain in her body, stood up tremblingly, and just as she was about to get off the ground, Old Lady Wang grabbed the hem of her clothes again.
"Her father, mother... mother won't let me go." Li Xiang's timid voice sounded.
Chen Xiashu turned around and saw his mother pulling his wife's clothes, and asked in confusion: "Mom, why are you pulling her clothes? Let her go cook, the whole family hasn't eaten yet!"
Old Mrs. Wang looked at her second son's wife and shook her head vigorously.
This made Chen Xiashu misunderstand, thinking that his wife did not serve his mother well, and his mother was complaining to him!
"Mom, has she been too harsh on you?" Chen Xiashu said as he clenched his fists, looking like he was about to take action again.
Li Xiang shuddered with fear and shrank her body, wishing she could shrink into an ant and hide in the crack of the kang mat.
Old Mrs. Wang began to nod, then shook her head for some reason. She just held on to Li Xiang's clothes and refused to let go. No one could take the second son's wife away today.
Seeing that she couldn't get the reason, Chen Xiashu had no choice but to do as her mother wished. However, she still waved her fist at Li Xiang and said, "Serve me well. If you dare to be lazy, I will beat you anyway."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Xiang quickly picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped Old Lady Wang's face. Because she drooled too much, Old Lady Wang's face was covered with saliva marks and there was an unpleasant smell.
Shen Siyue watched the farce from beginning to end on the kang. Although she also hated Li Xiang, she looked down on men who beat women even more.
At this moment, he couldn't help but say to Li Xiang: "He hit you like that just now, do you hate him? Have you ever thought about leaving this home?"
Li Xiang turned around and looked at her in horror. "What are you talking about? He's your father, why are you calling him 'heh heh heh'? He beat me because I didn't do my job well."
"Leaving this home? Where would I go if I leave here? Where is your heart? Is there anyone who would advise a mother to run away? Only those who are sluts and have no way to make a living would run away! Don't you hope for the best for me?"
Shen Siyue was speechless by her series of questions, thinking that she was really obsessed with shit.
Just now, for a moment, Shen Siyue felt a little sympathetic to Li Xiang, thinking that if she had even the slightest desire to resist, then she would help her and help her escape from this deformed home.
After so many days, I saw that she did the most work, ate the least, and was often beaten and scolded. I felt sorry for her and began to feel compassion for her.
Unexpectedly, they didn't feel miserable or abused at all. Instead, they kept finding faults in themselves.
This spirit of "finding joy in adversity" really impressed Shen Siyue.
Shen Siyue didn't give up, and decided to give her one last chance: "I think Zhaojiawan's marriage is not good, and I don't want to get married."
Li Xiang turned her head and looked at her in confusion: "If you don't marry, who will you marry? Your grandfather has already promised her!"
"I've already accepted the first gift, but you said you don't want to marry me, so where will your grandfather and father put their faces?"
"Is your daughter's life less important than other people's face?" Shen Siyue was almost mad to death.
Li Xiang disagreed: "It has always been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Your grandfather and father have agreed, so you have to listen! Besides, don't you spend your whole life together no matter who you marry?"
沉四月：“像你一样，嫁个家暴男，一天揍你三遍吗？”
Li Xiang was angry: "How can you say that about your father? No matter how wrong he is, he is still your father."
Shen Siyue looked at Li Xiang's stubborn face, closed her eyes, and finally gave up the intention to help her.
As the saying goes, good words can't persuade a damned ghost.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. The ancients were right!
Li Xiang was still chattering over there: "Hurry up and go to that room to help with some work, so that your grandfather will be happier when he sees you!"
Shen Siyue looked at Li Xiang, who was immersed in the idea of making her daughter please the whole family, and finally gave up on her.
He opened his mouth and cursed: "Do you think that if you have done enough, the people in this family will respect you? I tell you, don't dream!"
"If you don't even look down on yourself, how can you expect others to look up to you?"
"My saddest thing is that I was born in your belly. You are such a useless mother who can't even protect her own child. No wonder God made it impossible for you to have children. It turns out that he was afraid that you would commit more sins!"
