Lin Yiwan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin woman in her thirties with short hair. She was holding her waist with one hand and pointing at someone behind the corner with the other, cursing.
Words like "money-losing stuff", "low-class person", "unlucky star" came one after another, making people frown when listening to them.
"Hurry up and spit out the candy!"
Ge Hongying grabbed her fourth daughter He Pandi's ear with one hand and roughly scratched her mouth with the other hand.
He Pandi felt as if her ears were being torn apart alive, and the pain was so severe that she burst into tears.
But she was only 15 years old, but she kept her mouth tightly shut, neither opening her mouth nor spitting out the candy.
Unable to get the candy, Ge Hongying became more and more furious. She grabbed He Pandi's ear and twisted it half a circle, her nails almost digging into the flesh.
"You little bitch, you're getting tough, aren't you? If you don't spit out the candy today, I'll tear off your ears and feed them to the dogs."
As she said that, she pulled her ear and dragged her over!
The little face covered with snot and yellow mud suddenly appeared in Lin Yiwan's sight. Who else could it be but the child just now?
"I let you eat candy secretly! I will beat you to death!"
Ge Hongying dragged He Panddy all the way to the place where firewood was stored, and threw her against the wall. She picked up a piece of firewood and hit He Panddy hard!
Feeling the intense pain, He Pandi's tears fell down, but she still clenched her teeth stubbornly, and was unwilling to spit out the candy, nor was she willing to swallow it!
Is this what sugar tastes like?
No wonder my younger brother cries for candy every day.
Seeing that she had been holding the candy in her mouth and refused to spit it out, Ge Hongying became more and more aggressive in her approach, fearing that she had finished it.
Not far away, the soldier's wife saw this and her face was full of pity.
He advised in a low voice: "Hongying, the child is still young and doesn't understand. You should calm down. It's so hot, it's not worth getting angry and getting yourself hurt."
"That's right, stop beating him now, or Captain He will see it when he returns from drill... Let the kid's father take care of the sugar issue."
But Ge Hongying was very angry, so how could she listen?
The more stubborn the money-loser was, the angrier she became.
She wished she could beat him to death to avoid wasting her food.
The stick hit her body again and again, and He Pandi was almost numb from the pain.
Just when she thought she was about to be beaten to death, the sister who looked like a fairy appeared!
"Sister-in-law, please stop it! If you continue to hit her, she will be beaten to death!"
Lin Yiwan said this, walked forward quickly, and pulled the child over.
Ge Hongying didn't hit anyone, and the stick hit the wall with a "click" sound, and broke!
The knuckles were hurt and numb from the shock, and she glared at the person who came in angrily!
"Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I teach my child a lesson?"
Lin Yiwan had already protected the child behind her. Looking at the broken stick in the woman's hand, she felt a chill in her heart.
Is this really her child?
How could someone do such a cruel thing?
"I gave her the candy, she didn't steal it."
Ge Hongying looked at the unusual-looking woman in military uniform in front of her, with a look of doubt on her face.
When did such a person come to the family compound?
But for the sake of saving her face, she couldn't help but reply.
"Why would a little girl eat candy? There's no point wasting it. If you want to give it to someone, give it to my son!"
Lin Yiwan knew that people of this age tended to favor boys over girls, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
"Comrade, what you said is wrong. The Chairman has said that women hold up half the sky. What's wrong with a girl? When she grows up, she can be a worker, a soldier, or a cadre! Isn't the director of our Women's Federation also a female comrade? Won't your son have to rely on other girls to marry in the future? Besides, you are a woman yourself, why do you look down on girls?"
Ge Hongying's face turned pale and blue, and she spat on the ground.
"Bullshit!"
She hunched over her waist and stretched her neck forward, just like a fighting cock.
"Giving birth to a son is more valuable than giving birth to a girl! The director of the Women's Federation is nothing. How can he continue the He family's bloodline?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, her high cheekbones trembling. "Don't use big words to put people down. Are you the only one who can recite Chairman Mao's quotations? My ancestors said, 'The three greatest unfilial acts are to have no descendants.'"
Lin Yiwan sneered and looked at Ge Hongying with sharp eyes.
"Continuing the family line? This is a new society! Do you still think it's the feudal landlord way?"
But Ge Hongying didn't listen at all. She just insisted on doing what she said.
"You know shit! A man with a boy can earn work points and support himself in the future! A girl will be someone else's when she grows up!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes darkened and she raised her voice a few notches to make sure the military wives watching the excitement could hear her clearly.
"Your ideas are not good. The Chairman said that we should 'break away the old'. I think you are the one who should be broken away the most!"
When a big hat was put on her, Ge Hongying's face suddenly turned pale.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew the consequences of being labeled feudal.
"You...you are a young girl, how can you speak so viciously? Who...who is feudal?"
Lin Yiwan's face was still cold.
"Everyone present heard what you just said very clearly. If I find out that you go back and beat her like this, don't blame me for suing you at the Women's Federation. Then we'll see whether you, a man with a penis, are more valuable or the policies of the new society are more valuable!"
Is that educating children? It's obvious that he wants to beat someone to death!
"I...I won't tell you! Girls shouldn't eat candy!"
As she said this, she glared at He Pandi viciously and walked away angrily.
Unexpectedly, she was so stubborn. Lin Yiwan frowned slightly, thinking that the child behind her would have a hard time when she returned.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
The military wife came forward and asked concernedly.
Lin Yiwan shook her head and forced a smile on her face.
"I'm fine. I just didn't expect that I gave her a piece of candy out of kindness, but she got beaten up like this. I feel bad."
Liu Chunxiang sighed and advised, "Sister-in-law, this is none of your business. You just came here, so you may not know. Ge Hongying gave birth to four daughters before she gave birth to a son. She doesn't like these daughters and often beats and scolds them."
They also tried to persuade the child, but the more they persuaded, the worse the child was beaten.
As time went by, no one dared to interfere with her affairs.
The director of the Women's Federation would occasionally come to talk to her, but she could only do that for a few days, and after that she would still be beaten as usual!
After hearing this, Lin Yiwan didn't know what to say.
Even though she knew that not all mothers would love their children, she still couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She looked back at the shivering little girl, sighed, and said, "Do you want to go to your aunt's place to play for a while?"
He Pandi looked at the gentle and beautiful aunt in front of her, and a hint of admiration appeared on her little face.
After a long moment, she nodded imperceptibly.
After getting her consent, Lin Yiwan said hello to a few military wives, and then led her people back.
But when I walked to the corridor between the townhouse and the courtyard, I suddenly saw that familiar tall figure.
