Aunt Li has been a hot-tempered person since she was young. She is very experienced in pinching and beating people. She presses the flesh with the tip of her thumb and index finger and twists it hard, which makes a "click-click" sound while causing pain.
Chang Sanxi was often scolded by Aunt Chang, but was rarely beaten. The worst beating she received when she was a child was when Aunt Chang spanked her on the buttocks with the broom.
Aunt Li twisted it a few times, the pain making her forehead sweat. "Why are you pinching me, old hag? Your son and I haven't even had any contact yet, how can he be my man? When did yours and my family become relatives?"
Chang Sanxi pushed Aunt Li away, covered his arm with his hands, grimaced and gasped in pain.
"Mom, now you understand how their family abuses their daughter-in-law." Although it hurt when Aunt Li pinched him, Chang Sanxi felt the most uncomfortable because his mother didn't help him when he was wronged.
There was a strong sense of grievance and shame in her voice.
Xiao Wensheng saw it all. She was bullied and scolded by her mother when she came back. She was embarrassed in front of outsiders.
After all, she was the team leader of the pastry class and didn't have to worry about other people's feelings at the factory, but when she returned home, there was no one who could stand by her side.
Aunt Chang was upset when she heard her daughter was being strangled, but when she thought about what she had done, she hardened her heart: "How dare you say that? If you hadn't reported her son and had him arrested, would she have strangled you? Why didn't she strangle anyone else outside?"
"Apologize to Aunt Li, bring the person back, and let the matter go."
Aunt Li raised her eyebrows after hearing this. "Is that it? Because of your daughter's blind date, my son's reputation is ruined and he might even lose his job. He used to be a good guy, but now he has trouble finding a wife. After I get my son out, I have to ask your daughter to marry into our family, otherwise this matter will not end."
Chang Sanxi burst into tears. She hugged her pinched arm and sobbed, "Stop talking nonsense! It was clearly your son who beat me up on the street, and someone saw it and reported it. Why didn't the police arrest someone else but your son?"
"Who hit you? My son has always been law-abiding and a good young man of the new era. He hit you because he saw you flirting with another man. Bah, Mr. Chang, you taught your daughter to be a vixen, and you don't do anything about it?" Aunt Li was very eloquent and could turn white into black.
Xiao Wensheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"It was your son who attacked someone first, so I intervened to save him."
"You can argue that many people saw it and reported it truthfully to the police and the neighborhood committee before deciding to arrest your son. The two of us might have lied, but as you said, did the people in front of the cinema and the neighborhood committee also lie?"
There was a lot of noise on the street and the dogs around started barking.
Chang Sanxi looked up at Xiao Wensheng, tears streaming down his face as if the floodgates had been opened and they wouldn't stop until they were all drained out.
She covered her mouth and cried, "After the movie, your son wanted to talk about marriage with me. I didn't want to, so he asked me to compensate him. I said I could pay him half, but he insisted that he didn't enjoy the movie and asked me to pay for two movie tickets. When I refused, he started fighting with me. He pushed me down first and tried to kick me. If Xiao Wensheng hadn't passed by to help, I don't know how your son would have beaten me."
The masses are afraid of people wearing red armbands.
Xiao Wensheng brought up the street office and the police, but Aunt Li didn't dare to say anything even though she was very angry. She moved her lips a little but didn't dare to say anything.
It was Aunt Chang who finally understood what had happened.
She rolled up her sleeves and stood up: "It seems that your son was shameless enough to hit my daughter. Old Li family, you still have the nerve to come here? Get out of here now, or I will let the dogs bite you."
Aunt Li was afraid of Xiao Wensheng. The old Chang family members all had hot tempers but weak brains. But this Cheng Yaojin who showed up out of nowhere had a sharp tongue and a sharp brain.
He looks well dressed, so let’s forget about it for today.
She'll wait until another day when there's no one here asking for money. Otherwise, not only will her family's trouble be in vain, but they'll also become a laughing stock among the neighbors.
Aunt Li made up her mind and went back first.
The atmosphere became tense after she left. As a typical Chinese parent, Aunt Chang would never admit her mistakes. Even if she felt guilty, she would express it in other ways.
"What are you standing there for? Go inside."
After scolding Chang Sanxi, he smiled and said to Xiao Wensheng, "I'm sorry, comrade. I was in a hurry just now and didn't understand the reason. When I saw you carrying Sanxi back, I thought you were her new partner. I didn't know you were helping out out of kindness."
"Well, it's not too late now, and it won't delay your business. We'll go there tomorrow. Thank you."
As for when tomorrow will be, it is vague and illusory.
Chang Sanxi knew her mother's character and had no intention of thanking her properly. The other party was kind enough to send her home, but instead of inviting her in for tea, she hypocritically talked about tomorrow.
Chang San smiled happily, with tears hanging at the corners of his mouth.
She felt that her mother didn't care about her friends because she didn't like her.
Xiao Wensheng was older than Chang Sanxi, had experienced more over the years, and understood many things better than she did. Logically, he shouldn't have meddled in other people's affairs, but...
