After Lu Daqin got married, her mother-in-law and grandmother tried to put on airs, and she scolded them severely on the very first day.
Liu Shitou also felt that his mother and grandmother were wrong, but he couldn't let his wife scold him like that! So he started arguing with Lu Daqun, but unexpectedly Lu Daqin started hitting him directly.
Lu Daqin was a burly man, and Liu Shitou couldn't beat him; in fact, Liu Shitou got beaten up. Now that the pretense was over, Lu Daqin had nothing left to lose. When his mother and grandmother said something that displeased him, he resorted to violence.
Later, I heard that Lu Daqin wasn't a virgin at all; she had been married before. Her husband left her because she hadn't given birth in the two years they were married.
Liu Shitou's mother and grandmother felt deceived, and what use was a daughter-in-law who couldn't bear children? Their insults intensified, and Lu Daqin, of course, wouldn't tolerate it! She threatened to slap them.
It would take Liu Shitou and his son working together to defeat Lu Daqin.
Song Yan really wanted to meet Lu Daqin; she was such a tough woman.
Liu Shitou stopped talking at this point.
His family all lived in one room. He and Liu Daqin lived on the north kang (heated brick bed), while his parents and grandmother lived on the south kang.
Even when beaten, Lu Daqin didn't repent and secretly continued to beat his mother and grandmother. Having no other choice, the father and son beat Lu Daqin even more severely.
To get revenge, Lu Daqin went outside and said that her family wanted her to serve them, and she was beaten because she refused. She also claimed that her parents heard the sounds of her and her husband having sex every day…
Living in the same house, this matter is really hard to explain.
This is really disgusting.
Liu Shitou stammered out the story, and it was unclear whether he was angry or felt aggrieved, but tears welled up in his eyes.
Now, Liu Shitou and his son can't hold their heads up in the brigade.
Aunt Wei: "What do you mean by coming to my house? Neither you nor your husband can control the wife you married. You can't expect my family to pay for another wife for you, can you?" Aunt Wei suddenly felt quite relieved; why did she feel so cathartic!
Later, Lu Daqin was disciplined by Liu Shitou and his son and became much more obedient. Although she still talked nonsense, she still did the work she was supposed to do, and she only dared to abuse him secretly, not openly beat his mother and grandmother.
However, later, Lu Daqin had an older cousin named Lu Xingtian, who had retired from the army and was working in the commune. He came to visit Lu Daqin at the Liu family's house, and it just so happened that Lu Daqin had been beaten that day. Seeing his cousin being beaten, he directly beat up Liu Shitou and his son.
Lu Xingtian, a former soldier, could easily beat up Liu Shitou and his son.
From then on, whenever Lu Daqin was beaten, Lu Xingtian would come and beat up the father and son. Even when Lu Xingtian subdued the father and son, he would let Lu Daqin beat up his mother and grandmother.
After beating him, Lu Xingtian slandered his father, saying that Liu Wang had been spying on his daughter-in-law, which is why his brother from the bride's family came to his aid.
Liu Wang's family was already unpopular in the brigade. Because this matter was so shameful, the brigade leader simply didn't care. Every time, the father and son were the ones who suffered.
With Lu Xingtian backing her up, Lu Daqin had the final say in his family. If she said she wouldn't give his mother and grandmother food, she wouldn't. If his mother and grandmother said anything, she would get beaten. She couldn't take it anymore. Her father didn't dare help her anymore; if her father did, Lu Xingtian would side with Lu Daqin.
Thinking of all the grievances and beatings he suffered, Liu Shitou actually cried.
Aunt Wei: "I won't soften my heart. If I say it's over, it's over. I heard what you said. You've said what you needed to say. Now you can leave."
"Aunt, please help me. If this continues, my family won't be able to survive," Liu Shitou pleaded.
"I think you've been beaten senseless. I only have women and children in my family. What can I do to help you? Go ahead and sue wherever you want." Aunt Wei waved a feather duster and chased people out.
"Aunt, I heard that my second brother has made military achievements. You are a military family member, so people will listen to you and look up to you wherever you go. Aunt, please put in a good word for me," Liu Shitou pleaded.
"Your parents are shameless, and you're shameless enough as well. You still want me to use my son's military achievements to manage the family's dirty affairs."
Lu Daqin bit you two... You want me to use my son's military merits to prove your innocence? Do you have the nerve? Does your mother have the nerve? Get out, get out of here!" Aunt Wei grabbed a feather duster and started hitting Liu Shitou hard.
How much strength could an old woman have? Liu Shitou stubbornly refused to move.
Song Yan grabbed Liu Shitou by the collar from behind and dragged him out.
"Throw him out of the yard!" Aunt Wei roared.
Song Yan quickly comforted his mother-in-law. "Why bother arguing with someone like that? If he knows what's good for him, he'll leave quickly. If he doesn't, I'll have the militia from the brigade chase him away in a bit."
Aunt Wei was still angry when she suddenly laughed. "When we went to his house, you saw it for yourself. His mother was shamelessly trying to ask me for money. His grandmother doesn't act like an elderly person at all."
I didn't owe them anything at the time, so I gave them the money. I never imagined I'd marry such a wonderful wife; it's karma!
If I hadn't wanted to settle everything clearly, would his family have been able to afford to get married?
His mother must have been overjoyed when she found out I gave her the money.
If his family hadn't had the money to get him married, his mother wouldn't be suffering like this today.
Heaven has truly opened its eyes.
Liu Shitou didn't leave; he remained standing in front of the gate.
At home, people cook and eat as usual. Wei An and Wei Ping were curious, but seeing that their grandmother looked unwell, neither of them dared to speak.
Liu Shitou smelled the aroma of food; his stomach was already growling with hunger. He considered pushing open the door to go in. But neither of the two dogs in the yard was on a leash, especially the larger one, which looked particularly fierce.
Chang Xiaohu rode his bicycle back from the commune. "Who are you?"
"I'm Liu Shitou! My aunt is angry with me, can you help me talk to her?" Liu Shitou grabbed Chang Xiaohu's bicycle handlebars.
Liu Shitou looked so disheveled, so different from before, that Xiao Hu didn't recognize him immediately. "My mother said she's cut ties with your family, what are you doing here?" Xiao Hu pushed Liu Shitou's hand away.
"Mother, Second Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what delicious food did you make today?" Xiaohu now calls her "Mom" directly.
Liu Shitou looked at Chang Xiaohu with envy; he was riding a bicycle. Bicycles are so expensive!
Exhausted and hungry, Liu Shitou sat down in front of the Wei family's gate.
