"I saw it. There is a place with mimosa outside the fence of the orchard in the back mountain. I will take you and Shanshan there to play next time."

At that time, the family was repairing the fence and weeding. Xu Qingzhi saw the mimosa and asked her father to keep it.

"Okay." Xia Liannan's eyes suddenly lit up.

But soon, the light in his eyes went out.

She looked at the lighted house in front of her and the man standing at the door.

"Qingzhi, just take me here, I will walk back by myself."

"It's not far, let's just drive over there." Xu Qingzhi rode his tricycle directly to the courtyard of the house.

Xia Liannan got off the tricycle, and the man at the door came over and reached out to take the strawberries from her hand.

"Lian Nan, why do you need someone else to send you? Just ask me to pick you up. Your family has a car. You know, we bought a new one a while ago." The man deliberately showed off his new car.

"No need." Xia Liannan avoided his action.

A middle-aged man came out of the house and shouted angrily, "You're back now, why don't you go get some food? Are you trying to starve us to death?"

Xia Liannan ignored him and greeted Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, go back and have dinner."

Xu Qingzhi glanced at the two men, one old and one young. There was a sense of death lingering between their brows.

This deadness was naturally not her fault, it was her personal destiny.

It is most likely cancer. If you go to the hospital for treatment, you can live longer, but it will cause death. Treatment will only delay time and you will definitely die within two years.

Before, Aunt Zhang came to her mother to pay back the money and said that she wanted to introduce the son of the toad seller to her for a blind date. So at that time, Xu Qingzhi accidentally saw them driving by and stared at them. She saw this dead look.

Later I learned that his family had married Xia Liannan and was abusive to her, and it was only because of their "rubber rope-jumping" feelings that they pasted a little man on Xia Liannan's back to make her stronger and able to protect herself.

After all, if they get divorced, the Xia family might still think of letting Xia Liannan marry a worse man.

The toad-selling family is a single-line family with multiple sisters. The sister has married in another village and does not have a household registration in this village, so she cannot get any land. His ex-wife had finally divorced him and she would never want to come back even if she died.

When they die, these things will all belong to Xia Liannan.

She can earn some money by picking vegetables, and then grow some crops on her own, so she will have no problem making a good living.

Xu Qingzhi felt that her idea was absolutely right, and she came here this time just to confirm that the deathly air was not an illusion.

So she nodded with relief and drove her tricycle back to pick up grandpa for dinner.

The man was still standing there, watching the figure driving away on the tricycle, and said to his father, "The Xu family's daughter is really pretty, with an air of fairy. Aunt Zhang wanted to introduce her to me for a blind date, but it didn't work out."

"I think she dresses up so beautifully just to seduce you. You better be careful. I don't have the money to marry you another wife. Her grandfather is not someone you can easily mess with. Just have fun with him, but don't go too far. Otherwise, her grandfather will kill you with a hoe, and I won't care." The old man said self-righteously.

"Yeah, I know, Dad."

The old man watched the tricycle gradually disappear into the night and sneered, "Xu Fuqiang is just a fool. It's a waste of money to send a little girl to study so much. Look at your sister. She got married right after graduating from high school. Her two children are in elementary school. Now the country has allowed three children. The third child is about to be born, and the Xu family's daughter can't even find a partner."

Xia Liannan stood aside and was completely ignored by the two men. She could usually tolerate being ordered around by them, but not this time.

She yelled angrily, "Watch your mouths, both of you!"

The man stared at her and subconsciously reached out to drag her in and beat her.

Xia Liannan grabbed his wrist and slapped him hard in the face. "You want to hit me again? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Qingzhi people don't even look down on you."

Xia Liannan kicked him and knocked him to the ground: "You are also a shameless toad."

Then, he kicked the man one meter away.

"Whoever wants to cook today can do it. I won't." Xia Liannan took the strawberries to the kitchen, washed them, returned to the room, locked the door, and tasted them happily one by one.

The two men in the yard stared at Xia Liannan's back as she walked into the house, their eyes looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Before, I just found that Xia Liannan was very strong, and if I wanted to hit her again, she would resist and I couldn't touch her at all.

Today, she actually dared to fight back and hit them! The father and son were burning with anger. They had always been the ones to beat women, but they had never been beaten by women.

The two men got up and went to cause trouble for Xia Liannan.

Knock knock knock at the door and say ugly dirty words outside.

What about whore, bitch, pig-ridden slut, etc...

Xia Liannan finished eating all the strawberries. She was very full and in a good mood. It seemed as if all the strength in her body was boosted.

She opened the door, clenched her fists, and attacked left and right, Bang Bang giving the two toads two punches.

Later, when she talked about this with Qingzhi, she said this.

"At that time, they were glaring at me fiercely, and I clenched my fists and hit them in the eyes, twice. Ouch, you didn't see it, their eyes were as red as pandas' eyes."

This is a later story.

At this time, the two men's eyes were hurt so much by the punches that they felt their eyes were bloodshot and they couldn't open them. They even wanted to reach out and grab Xia Liannan's hair, wanting to drag her down and beat her up on the ground.

If a woman doesn't obey, she will behave herself after a beating! This is what the man thinks.

Next second.

Xia Liannan kicked both of them to the ground, kicking one with her foot and hitting the other with her fist.

For so many days, she had been enduring it silently, and only fought back to protect herself when they wanted to beat her.

No, she couldn't bear it anymore. She would never bear it again! She wanted to pay back every punch and pain that had hit her in the past, and now she was paying them back one by one.

The neighbors next door listened to the man's screams and began to murmur.

"What's going on? What's the toad seller next door doing? I finally got a break from the screams of a new bride, but now two men are screaming."

"Who knows? It can't be the new daughter-in-law who beat him."

"Old man, why don't you go to his house and take a look?"

"No, let's not get involved in their family affairs. I'm already old, and I can't stand the two fists of the toad seller. Now they are the ones who are calling them. Anyway, they are not good people, so why bother about what happens to them?"

"Okay, then I'll close the window tightly so it won't disturb us while we sleep."

After a while, the wind blew the windows, rumbling thunder sounded in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, covering up all the screams.

After having a midnight snack and drinking coffee yesterday, I felt very full and my eyes were so sleepy that I couldn’t open them. I had to go to sleep. The refreshing effect of coffee... I overestimated it.
