After Zhao Wei displayed his great power, he rushed out of his uncle's house and accidentally bumped into Yunxiu who was rushing in from outside.
Yunxiu was so frightened that she lost her balance and almost fell backwards.
Zhao Wei saw the opportunity quickly and pulled the person back into his arms.
Yunxiu pushed him away in panic and stood up, her mind in a mess.
Zhao Wei touched her hand, which was icy cold, like an ice lump. He covered it with some concern.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home? It's so cold outside, look, you're freezing!"
This kind gesture made Yunxiu feel as if she was struck by lightning, and she pulled her hand back in a flash.
At this moment, all that emerged in her mind were scenes of Zhao Wei beating her in the past.
He also swung the bench and hit her with it as if he was risking his life.
Once, once, and again...
It hurts, a pain that goes deep into your bones.
At this time, there was still a large bruise on her back, and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body, reminding her all the time how cruel Zhao Wei was.
She couldn't indulge in this false tenderness, otherwise she would die without knowing how.
Zhao Wei frowned and was about to comfort the young wife, when he saw the people from the eldest wife's house and the neighbors all appeared in their yard.
"What happened? Zhao Wei, what are you going to do?"
"You're making so much noise in the middle of the night, can't you let me sleep?"
"Fortunately your nurse is not here, otherwise, do you think you would have gotten away with it?"
…
The uncle's impatient tone revealed a message that his grandmother must have gone to ask someone to get Zhao Long out.
Haha... the old lady is already old, but she really loves her son and she is still running around in the wind and snow late at night.
I just don't know how much it will cost, but I think it should be enough to drain all his money.
Anyway, not a penny of this money will be spent on them, so if it is lost, it is lost. There is no need to feel sad about it.
When Third Aunt saw so many people coming, she was a little scared at first, but now she straightened her back immediately, and recounted what Zhao Wei had done, exaggerating it, and then burst into tears and wailed.
"My life is so miserable~~~ I wasted my kindness~~~ If I had known he was such a bastard, I would never have let him visit me~~~"
"You all should help to judge the situation, otherwise we will have a hard time living like this~~~"
…
She cries in a very rhythmic way, and really knows how to handle things.
Those neighbors always loved to watch the fun, and because Zhao Wei was young and usually a carefree person, they didn't know the whole story. They only listened to a few words and started to blame him.
"Zhao Wei, you are not a child anymore. Don't make trouble here just because you drank some horse urine. It's so ugly. It hurts the feelings of your relatives and makes people feel disappointed. What should I do?"
"Your family is not able to make it on its own, and we are only able to get by thanks to the help from the other two families. If you are ungrateful, be careful that your uncle's family will ignore you, and you won't even be able to drink soup. That will be miserable!"
"Any family that has a troublemaker like you will be in big trouble. I advise you to give in and apologize. Settle the matter before your grandma knows about it. Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand and she forces your grandma to split up the family, that will be terrible!"
…
Of course, there were a few more righteous neighbors among them who took a middle position and spoke a few fair words.
"Let's listen to what Brother Ren Wei has to say first. There is no smoke without fire, and there is no result without cause. One person's opinion cannot be relied upon."
"If the people from the third house are really bullied, we will ask the village chief to come and seek justice. Our village will not encourage the younger generation to bully the elders."
"Zhao Wei, why don't you say something? You don't say anything. Are you agreeing with your third aunt's accusation?"
…
Zhao Wei said quickly, "It's all fabricated. We, the second branch, don't even have the right to eat at the table in this family, how dare we bully others? We are treated like cattle, horses and mules by this big family all day long."
"Just now, my wife and I just came back from the city. We didn't even have time to eat, but Third Auntie grabbed me and insisted that I wash her sheets. Otherwise, she would ask Grandma to cut our rations and leave us starving."
"My elders ordered me to do it even if it means washing with snow water in the middle of the night, so I went to pull the sheets off."
"I never thought that my uncle was too old and stepped on the bed sheet with his eyesight blurry. After he fell, the bed sheet was torn. He blamed it on me. What can I do?"
"Oh... I won't say anything more. I'll just go get my bed sheets, wash them and give them back as compensation."
Zhao Wei moved very quickly and soon threw the tattered sheets in his home onto the ground.
What kind of bed sheet was that? Patch upon patch, several large pieces of patchwork cloth in different colors, barely sewn together, and it had already been washed so much that it looked like it had been gnawed by countless hungry mice.
It can be said that it looks shabby even if it is used as a cushion for beggars.
"Yes, this is the only bed sheet we have at home. Please excuse me for making fun of you. My grandmother said that it is unnecessary to use a piece of cloth as a mattress pad. We should sleep on a straw mat in our room. It is better to sleep in the barn."
This does not sound false. His grandmother has scolded Zhao Wei many times in public, and everyone remembers it clearly.
I thought it was just talk, but I didn't expect it to be so harsh.
They knew exactly what the floors were in the other two homes, as they visited them frequently.
As for Zhao Wei's family, because they lived in a low shed and rotten thatched house, and Zhao Wei had a bad temper, no one would knock on the door unless there was something wrong, so naturally no one knew much about it.
Hearing about this experience, they all felt a little sympathetic.
"Are you kidding me? This second-room kid... couldn't have been adopted, they are from the same mother. How can they be so crooked? I've really learned something."
"No wonder Brother Wei drinks to drown his sorrows every day. He has to live with such a family and cannot resist being abused. It's so miserable!"
…
Seeing the turn of events, everyone was spitting.
Country people only care about their dignity, so Aunt San hurriedly explained.
"That's not the case. Zhao Wei is a bastard. No matter how good the things we give him are, he will use them to buy wine. This is his own fault. It has nothing to do with us!"
Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows. In the past, Zhao Wei would really do such a thing, which made it difficult for him to defend himself.
However, he has other ways to muddy the waters, and anyone who wants to make life difficult for him will receive retribution.
It stayed beside him and threatened in a low voice.
"Aunt San, I advise you to think carefully about how to explain what happened just now. Otherwise... I won't be able to hide whose child our little sister is!"
"Do you really think I know nothing? That wild man's name is Lai Zi, right? Haha..."
The original owner loved drinking, and the gossip he heard from the wine table the night before was the most exciting, and it was more than enough to beat a flirtatious third aunt to death.
