Her mother also slapped her hard across the face. Perhaps because she had been eating a lot lately, her mother had a strong hand. The slap made her ears ring, and she can still hear the echo now.
"You troublemaker!"
Old Madam Li stepped forward with her bound feet and slapped Li Aidi twice across the face. The force was great and the sound was loud, making Li Aidi's ears ring.
"Mother, what did I do?"
Li Aidi burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Madam Li angrily scolded, "You good-for-nothing! They say a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, but you're married and still clinging to your parents' home. If your brother hadn't been trying to get some food for you, would they have been beaten?"
"You good-for-nothing, all you do is eat, you don't do any chores at home. Even the pigs in the pen are better than you."
Hearing this made Li Aidi feel even more aggrieved. Her son went to call her back, but because she couldn't bear to leave her parents' home, she had been staying at Old Li's house.
She worked like a slave, doing all the housework, so how come she's now considered lazy and good-for-nothing?
"You worthless piece of trash, hurry up and call out that assless bastard Han Qiang to me."
"Unfilial piety, serves you right, may your grandchildren be born without an anus."
Old Mrs. Li said indignantly, while Li Aidi pouted aggrievedly.
Old Mrs. Li stepped forward and kicked her in the buttocks. Li Aidi stumbled and was about to say something when Old Mrs. Li said again, "You good-for-nothing, go knock on the door."
The village head of Lijiazhuang watched indifferently, neither stopping them nor making a sound.
A young man who had come with him walked up to the three injured men, looked down at them, and frowned unhappily: "The bones are probably broken. We need to find a doctor to set them right away, otherwise, the legs will be lost."
"Why bother finding a doctor? They haven't even paid compensation yet. Who has the money to hire a doctor?"
Old Mrs. Li snorted coldly and spat a mouthful of yellow phlegm at Han Mingyuan's front door.
"If I don't pay enough grain and silver today, I'm not going back."
The air was still filled with the rich aroma of meat, and you could hear the children in the yard praising the raw meat they were eating, as well as the adults talking while they ate.
"The Han family has really struck it rich; they actually produced a fat pig and six fat sheep all at once."
Upon hearing this, the people of Lijiazhuang were secretly astonished. Old Mrs. Li's eyes darted around, and she immediately guessed what kind of wicked scheme he was plotting.
"Han Qiang, Han Ruoxue, open the door!"
Forced to knock on the door, Li Aidi slowly walked to the door under her mother's fierce gaze, though her ears were ringing even louder.
Her voice wasn't loud, but the voices inside were quite loud. Such a delicate sound was completely inaudible to the people inside.
Old Mrs. Li's eyes turned cold, and she ran over on her bound feet, kicking the door several times: "Open the door!"
She was strong and had a loud voice, so the people inside finally heard her. However, everyone still ate everything in their bowls clean. It was so delicious that many people licked the bowls clean.
Aunt Wu ran into the room with her bound feet and told her about the situation outside. Han Luoxue had almost finished eating, so she stood up, and Han Yuchen quickly helped her up.
Seeing the man's cautious manner, Han Luoxue smiled helplessly: "My belly is barely noticeable, you don't need to be so careful."
"That won't do, I can't trust you to do that."
Aunt Wu clicked her tongue a few times, looking at the young couple with envy: "Xue girl, Yu Chen is really fond of you, you should be secretly happy."
"That's right, Xue'er, you're not alone now. You have to be careful about your safety no matter what."
Yunniang also gave instructions.
"I'll go out. I'm the head of the household." Although Han Mingyuan still couldn't get off the kang (heated brick bed), his legs no longer hurt, so he could handle these people.
"He's not some big shot, why would you need to make a personal appearance?"
Han Luoxue smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I'll just go out for a bit."
"Father, Mother, don't worry, I will protect Xue'er."
I wonder if my father-in-law still has any shoes left after this injury.
I won't get beaten up for now, but once my father-in-law recovers in a few days, I guess I'll still get a beating.
However, Han Yuchen is not afraid of being beaten; he does hope that his father-in-law can fully recover.
only……
Han Yuchen lowered his head, a very bad feeling creeping into his heart.
When they saw Han Luoxue and the others come out, everyone gathered around.
"Open the door, guests are welcome!"
Han Luoxue's voice was calm. The door creaked open, and Old Lady Li, who was still kicking the door, stumbled and stumbled in.
Han Yuze, who was opening the door, nimbly dodged to the side, and Old Lady Li fell flat on her face.
"Isn't such a grand gesture unnecessary?"
Han Luoxue avoided the main entrance. No matter how hateful this old woman Li was, she didn't want to be subjected to this greeting for no reason.
"Ouch, my back!"
Old Mrs. Li, supporting her back, tried to get up a few times but couldn't.
When Li Aidi saw her mother injured, she rushed over and grabbed the old woman's armpit, finally managing to pull her up with great effort.
As Old Mrs. Li got up, she put her left hand on her waist and slapped Li Aidi across the face with her right hand: "You good-for-nothing, why don't you help your old mother up?"
Li Aidi's tears fell in large streams, feeling wronged. "Mother, how was I supposed to know she was going to open the door!"
"Hmph, what do you know besides eating? She saw how you ruined your brother!"
"Cough cough!"
The village head of Lijia Village coughed twice, reminding Old Lady Li not to delay things.
"Han Qiang, Han Qiang, you heartless bastard! I married my daughter to you and had children with you, but you sent her back to her parents' home and ignored her completely."
Old Mrs. Li, hands on her hips, pointed at Han Qiang's nose and scolded, "Is this how you do things?"
"Did I send her back to her parents' home? Wasn't it because she stole grain from others and sent it to her parents' home, but you were greedy and wouldn't give it to her, that's why she stayed?"
Han Qiang sneered. He had already decided that Li Aidi had to be divorced.
"What's this about stealing! What's wrong with my daughter taking some grain to her parents' home? Besides, have you ever seen anyone ask for the grain they gave to their parents back?"
"Was that taken? She tricked someone out of their money!"
"She cheated me out of my grain. Li Aidi, you shameless thing! That was our family's life-saving grain! How could you have the nerve to cheat us and take it?"
Grandma Han squeezed through the crowd. Last time, Li Aidi cheated her out of her grain, which had made her very angry. Now, seeing Li Aidi and her family, Grandma Han couldn't swallow her anger.
She took small, triangular steps to Old Lady Li's side, raised her withered, brittle fingers, pointed them at Old Lady Li's nose, and cursed, "You shameless wretch! It's all your fault that your daughter is so good at cheating and swindling. How come you didn't choke to death on the things she cheated out of you?!"
