Chapter 106: Li Laizi forces Chen Daya to return to her parents' home
"I never thought your family would start a red strip business. I saw it was doing very well today. I wonder how much money they made."
In a dilapidated thatched hut, a young man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks looked at Chen Daya with squinted eyes. It was Li Laizi.
Li Laizi is in his early twenties, but looks like he is twenty-five or twenty-six. His skin is yellow, dark and rough, and he smells of alcohol when he opens his mouth. He is very vulgar.
Chen Daya, who was cooking with her back to him, trembled slightly, her eyes full of confusion and surprise.
Since getting married, she rarely went back to her parents' home because she knew that her family hated her husband and she was too embarrassed to go back.
She rarely went to town because her family was poor and her mother-in-law and husband beat and scolded her.
Only one year after getting married, she seemed to have aged five years. Although she was only seventeen, she was completely different from the one she was a year ago.
At that time, she was still a simple and happy girl. Although her family was not rich, she could still have two meals a day, and her parents were not partial to her.
Now she has endless work to do every day. She has to take care of all the work at home and in the fields by herself. Even so, she can't even have a full meal.
She had new wounds on top of old ones on her body, and the pain made it difficult for her to fall asleep every night.
She didn't know why she wanted to live, but every time she thought about committing suicide, she couldn't bear to leave her parents and two younger brothers.
Just like this, we just get by day by day.
She hadn't heard from her parents' home for a long time. The last time she went back was during the New Year, and she didn't expect that her family had started a business.
She knew that someone was buying red strips. Uncle Chen Ming from Chenjia Village came to the village to buy them some time ago. She sold more than 30 kilograms in total. How come it was her family that was buying them now?
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Seeing that she didn't react, Li Laizi immediately became angry and started cursing.
"Your family is in business, don't you know? Are you deliberately hiding this from me, you bitch? Did your parents give you money?"
"No...I, I really don't know."
Chen Daya trembled again, lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, fearing that Li Laizi would come to hit her again.
"Useless thing!"
Li Laizi was obviously dissatisfied with her answer and he hated seeing her timid look.
I used to think she was pretty, but now her face is yellow and black, and she's skinny. She looks ugly no matter how I look at her.
"Humph, I heard that your second aunt's family got rich and started a spicy sesame oil business. Now the whole Chenjia Village is helping her with her work. I also heard that her family is building a courtyard house."
Chen Daya opened her eyes wide when she heard this. Was he talking about her second aunt?
In her impression, Second Aunt was not only lazy and bad, but also loved gambling. She sold all the family's land, and later heard that she also sold her two children.
How could such a person become rich? And the villagers still help her with work?
But she didn't ask, because she knew what Li Laizi was planning with just her toes.
Suddenly, Li Laizi said, "Let's go to Chenjia Village tomorrow. You haven't been back to your parents' home yet, right? It's a good time to go back and visit."
"I'm not going." Chen Daya said in a low voice.
She was too embarrassed to go back. She didn't want her parents to know her situation, and she didn't want Li Lai Zi to stay at her house.
Unexpectedly, Li Laizi slapped Chen Daya directly, causing her to fall to the ground.
"I'm telling you, not discussing it with you. If you can't get the money from your parents tomorrow, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Half of Chen Daya's face suddenly became red and swollen, and her eyes turned red from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and did not shed tears.
Lying in bed at night, she was in a state of confusion.
Li Laizi said he would go and he would definitely go. What should she do?
Even if the family has a business, it must be just starting out and may even be making a loss. How can they have money to give to Li Laizi?
As for Second Aunt, the family had separated a long time ago, so even if she was living well now, it had nothing to do with her.
She was afraid that Li Laizi would cause trouble and bring trouble to the family and her second aunt, and she was even more afraid that her family would see her and worry about her.
After a bad night's sleep, she ate some wild vegetable porridge the next morning and was dragged by Li Laizi to Chenjia Village.
The right side of her face was still a little red and swollen. Li Laizi was very dissatisfied and had already thought of an excuse in her mind. She said that she fell yesterday.
Yes, that’s right, if they say they don’t have money to see a doctor, they might even be able to ask their parents-in-law for more money.
Lijia Village and Chenjia Village are not too far apart, and it only takes an hour to walk there.
As soon as they entered Chenjia Village, they felt something different. It was a vibrant and positive atmosphere.
Of course, they couldn't describe it, they just felt that it was different from Lijia Village.
"Where have all the men in your village gone?"
As he walked along, Li Laizi hardly saw any adult men. There were only women, the elderly and children.
Chen Daya naturally didn't know either, and kept her head down, afraid of being recognized by the villagers.
But how could the villagers not recognize her? They were just a little surprised to see her current appearance.
Some people also greeted her and she responded politely.
Finally they arrived home. It was Chen Xiaohe who opened the door. When she saw the two of them, she immediately called out to her mother.
"Mom, Chen Daya is back, and she brought her man with her."
Chen Daya didn't react at all to her address. Before she got married, the siblings from the third room called her that.
She felt more puzzled because there seemed to be no one at home.
Even if Grandpa, Dad and Third Uncle went to the town to collect the red slips, why weren't Grandma, Mom and Da Niu there?
Li Laizi had already walked in with a smile on his face, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out to greet him, so he couldn't smile anymore.
What an impolite family. They didn't even show any hospitality when their son-in-law came to visit. No wonder the daughter they raised is such a slut.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Daya and I came to visit you today."
He raised his voice and shouted, sitting on the stool in a familiar manner, like a big boss.
Chen Daya was a little reserved and seemed like an outsider.
"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice was heard, and then several figures appeared. It was Zhou Lihua and her three children.
"Third Aunt."
When Chen Daya saw her, she immediately called out, but Zhou Lihua was frightened by her appearance.
"You, you are Daya? How did you become like this?"
The other person looked so skinny, with half of his face red and swollen, it was very scary.
Her clothes were very worn out and had many patches on them. She looked completely different from the Chen Daya in her memory.
You can tell from the look of it that he must be having a hard time.
She was not sympathetic, but just a little surprised. After all, the changes were really big.
"It's me."
Chen Daya said embarrassedly, covering her face with one hand and lowering her head.
Li Laizi hurriedly explained, "Aunt, Daya is sick and fell yesterday. She said she missed you, so I brought her here today. By the way, why don't you see your parents-in-law?"
Zhou Lihua glanced at him with contempt in her eyes, and felt disgusted by his pointed and monkey-faced appearance.
They both knew what the other had done at the time. Such shameless people are really disgusting.
Her daughter Xiaohe is twelve years old this year, so she must be on guard against people like this in the future.
