Chapter 34 Witnessing Domestic Violence
The Wu family and the Ma family are both busy with Lin Xi's affairs, so I guess they can't spare any help.
Lin Xi read it over and over again, but couldn't think of who would be more suitable to take on this task. Xiao Yongyan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he said, "You bought the duck from the Dai family. I remember that they seem to have several daughters. Maybe one of them can cook well."
Inspired by Xiao Yongyan's words, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea and immediately went to the Dai family.
Xiao Yongyan found Lin Xi's impetuous look cute. In the past, in the capital, his little wife always looked like a lady from a wealthy family.
He was very polite and proper, but always seemed to lack some energy. Now he is more lively.
Dai family.
Seeing his important client coming, Dai Liyun quickly asked Lin Xi to sit down and poured her some water.
The Dai family sent a lot of ducks to restaurants in the town and county, so their income was quite good in the village, and they were more particular about everything.
"Sister, are you here to see my father?" Dai Liyun asked attentively, "He is busy in the pond, he will be here soon."
Having said that, Dai Liyun went to call Dai Endong.
Dai Endong came over and smiled innocently, "Are you here to buy ducklings?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "I came here this time to ask you something. Is there anyone in your family who is good at cooking? I'm short of someone to cook here."
Dai Endong couldn't figure out Lin Xi's specific requirements and was a little embarrassed. "As for cooking, many people at home know how to cook. Do you want to set up a banquet?"
"That's not the case."
Lin Xi told Dai Endong that he was going to open a shop in town to sell bacon. Dai Endong said, "You just need someone to cook a few dishes for you. This is easy. My old lady can do it."
"I heard that you have two daughters." Lin Xi asked tentatively. The Dai family is so busy, and she is afraid that Dai's wife will not have time to do anything.
"You're talking about my two daughters. After all, they're married, so I can't say anything." When mentioning his daughters, Dai Endong's eyes became a little lonely.
Before coming here, Lin Xi made some inquiries and found out that the two daughters of the Dai family were married in the same village, but they lived a hard life.
It is said that Dai Endong would provide some financial support from time to time, but it was only a rumor. After all, if a married daughter had too close contact with her parents' family, she would be gossiped about.
"Boss Dai, my job is not big, but I will not underpay you. Your family is well off, so you should think more about the children," Lin Xi advised.
Dai Endong sighed, "It's not that I don't want to consider them, it's just that I can't intervene in many matters."
"How about this, you talk to them privately first, and then I'll go find them." Lin Xi said.
"I think it's okay." Dai Liyun nodded quickly.
His two older sisters treated him very well. He had heard a little about what happened to them after they got married. Sometimes he was so angry that he wanted to beat up his brother-in-law, but was eventually stopped by Dai Endong.
Dai Liyun’s anger subsided after he beat the man up, but the sisters still had to bear the consequences of what to do next.
A few days later, Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan went to the Ge family in the village.
The roof of the house where the Ge family lives is in tatters, and it probably leaks everywhere when it rains.
The vegetable garden in front of the house is growing vigorously, and it can be seen that the hostess of this house is very hardworking.
But before Lin Xi could speak, she heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from inside the house.
"I'm asking you, where is the money in the family?" an irritable male voice roared.
"There is no money left at home. Even if you beat me to death, I will have no money to give you." This time it was a woman's voice.
"Bah, don't try to fool me. I saw you secretly hiding five copper coins yesterday. Let me think where you put them. It seems to be on the kitchen counter."
"Master, I beg you, you can't touch that money. That's the money saved for Yang'er to marry a wife. If you don't consider me, you must consider your son!"
"Damn it, why marry a wife? If he has the ability, just marry into the family!"
"No, no, if Yang'er marries into the family, he will be criticized for his whole life. You can't do this!"
"You stinky bitch, what I want to do is my business, it has nothing to do with you!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi heard the sound of a scuffle.
A little boy ran out of the house crying, and saw Lin Xi and the other man standing at the door. He grabbed Lin Xi's arm and said, "Help, help!"
Lin Xi quickly comforted the child and gave Xiao Yongyan a look.
Xiao Yongyan understood what he meant and immediately rushed into the house to stop it from happening.
When Lin Xi brought the child in, there was only Xiao Yongyan in the room. There was a man with the front of his clothes pulled open, reeking of alcohol, sitting on the ground.
On the other side was a woman, sitting on a chair, wiping her tears. There were marks of beating all over her body, and it was obvious that she had just experienced violence.
As soon as the child entered the house, he threw himself on the woman, "Mom!"
The woman hugged the child tightly in her arms, "Yang'er, dear, are you scared? I'll boil eggs for you later."
Lin Xi looked at the situation in front of her and knew that this was definitely not the time to talk about things. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister, I heard that you are good at growing vegetables. My vegetable garden is not growing well. Do you have time to help me take a look?"
The woman was stunned. She didn't know the person in front of her at all, so why did he suddenly come to her?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Lin Xi, and I live in the wasteland in the village." Lin Xi introduced himself.
After she said this, the woman realized that this person should be the one her father told her about two days ago.
"So that's how it is, sister, please wait a moment, I'll go with you after I finish fixing my hair," said the woman.
When the man heard what Lin Xi said, his eyes rolled around. "Sister, my family doesn't have any other skills, but she's good at growing vegetables. You can definitely go right with her. Although we're all from the same village, it's not good to help for nothing..."
Lin Xi felt very contemptuous in his heart, but the important thing at the moment was to take Dai Laner away first.
"That's right, big brother." After saying that, Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Yongyan, who took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the man.
The man immediately took the money and put it in his pocket. Dai Laner saw it and felt very embarrassed, "Boss, how can you accept money for such a small thing?"
Hearing this, the man's expression immediately changed. "Why can't you accept the money? You are so generous. Our family is almost broke."
Dai Lan'er thought to herself, the reason why they couldn't make ends meet was because he was gambling outside every day, otherwise how could this be possible.
"Sister, let's go quickly." Lin Xi pulled Dai Lan'er and the child out without saying a word.
The man wanted to chase after her, but was frightened by Xiao Yongyan's look and dared not move.
For a moment, the man felt that he was about to be killed by Xiao Yongyan's eyes.
