Chapter 75 Go to my aunt to learn a craft
Du Wanchun heard the sound, looked up and saw a woman with graying hair beating her aunt with a stick.
Her aunt, clutching her bruised and swollen face, cried and begged for forgiveness, "Mother, I know I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore!"
The woman wouldn't let it go, grabbing Du Damei's hair and spitting in her face. "I told you not to come home so late last night! Were you trying to cheat on me while my son was away?!"
Du Damei's face was covered in tears, and her voice was hoarse. "Mother, I didn't go to steal anyone. I just went to my niece's house for dinner."
The woman then picked up the stick and was about to hit her again.
Du Wanchun strode forward, intending to stop her.
However, Aunt Zhou was even faster. She snatched the mallet from the woman's hand and said sternly, "Aunt Cao, how can you beat your daughter-in-law like this in broad daylight!"
This woman is Cao, Du Damei's mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law's surname is Cao. For several generations, the men in her family have been sons-in-law who moved into their wives' homes. She finally gave birth to two sons, so she cherishes them very much.
An ancestor of his family once served as a county magistrate. He usually looked down on the villagers and liked to act aloof.
Therefore, she disliked her daughter-in-law, who came from a poor peasant family, very much.
He disliked her even more because she hadn't given birth to a son or daughter in over ten years.
However, everyone in the Cao family knew that the one who couldn't have children was actually Du Damei's husband.
However, Cao still blamed Du Damei for the incident.
Du Damei thought that if she adopted her younger brother's daughter, her mother-in-law would treat her better. Who knew that she would be scolded again, saying that if she wanted to adopt, why didn't she know what use it was to adopt a boy and raise a money-losing girl?
Her eldest son was infertile from a young age, and her second son was even more remarkable. He had a homosexual relationship with a wealthy businessman in the county and hadn't returned home for several years.
They have now adopted a girl, so their family line has ended.
There are rumors in the village that this is because the county magistrate who was their ancestor, Cao, was too patriarchal and therefore got his comeuppance.
Many people advised Cao that having a daughter would be better.
Unfortunately, Cao didn't listen. The more she looked at Du Damei, the angrier she became. Before, she would only beat and scold her once every two weeks, but now she beat her every two or three days.
I only came home a little late yesterday, and I was dragged out of bed and beaten up first thing this morning.
The little baby inside was still crying from hunger in bed.
When Cao saw Zhou Da Niang, she angrily said, "It's none of your business what happens in my family!"
Aunt Zhou pulled up the badly injured Du Damei, shielding her behind her, and said sternly to Cao Shi, "If I hadn't stopped her today, you would have beaten her to death!"
Cao snorted coldly and said, "If she doesn't lay eggs, so be it! I'll let my son marry another one."
Aunt Zhou had never seen such a shameless person before, and couldn't help but curse, "Aunt Cao, even if Du Damei is your daughter-in-law, you have no right to beat her like this!"
Cao disagreed, angrily saying, "She calls me 'Mother,' so of course I have the right to discipline her. But you, a widow, what right do you have to act so tough in our family!"
After saying that, he turned around and happened to see Du Wanchun. "This must be your newlywed silly daughter-in-law! Take this silly girl and get out of here!"
Seeing her beloved aunt, who had always doted on her, beaten and covered in bruises, Du Wanchun clenched her fists involuntarily. She frowned slightly and slowly walked forward.
At this moment, the previously clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.
A thunderclap exploded with a deafening roar.
Everyone present was startled.
Cao looked up at the sky, then impatiently rushed forward, trying to grab Du Wanchun, shouting, "Get out of here right now!"
However, she had only taken one step when a bolt of lightning struck right at her feet.
A loud bang.
Startled, Cao lost her balance and fell directly into the garbage can on the ground.
