Chapter 55 Li Dashan, I am not your daughter! (Two chapters combined)
Li Dahu's house was not far from the Gu family's house; his house was closer to the foot of the mountain than the Gu family's. When Gu Yin ran there, it was already crowded with people, including several adults from the Gu family.
Gu Yin threw away the stick and quickly squeezed in.
The scene was chaotic, with broken chairs, tables, bowls and chopsticks scattered all over the ground. The yellow mud floor and walls were covered with gruesome bloodstains, enough to prove how fierce the fight had just taken place!
Gu Yin stared at Li Genzi, who lay silently on the ground with his broken leg and arm, then at Li Dahu, who was being held down by Village Chief Li Sen and Gu Qingming, and Juanzi, who was sitting on the ground. Gu Yin was stunned. What was going on? Could it really be what she thought?!
Li Sen looked at the crowd and said, "Someone come and get a glass of cold water and splash it on Da Hu's face to sober him up!"
Li Xiaohua's father walked past Li Genzi with shaky legs, took a basin of water, and splashed it all over Li Dahu's face.
Li Dahu, who had been struggling, immediately quieted down. Gu Qingming took the rope next to him and, together with Li Sen, tied him to the chair.
Li Sen went into the room and took out a sheet, which he placed on Li Genzi. He put his hands on his hips, looked at the stunned Juanzi, frowned, and asked seriously, "Tell me, what happened?"
Juanzi did not respond.
Gu Yin walked over to her father and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Upon seeing that it was Gu Yin, Gu Qinglang wanted to send her back, but there were people all around, so he decided to just let her watch.
Gu Qinglang shook his head: "We don't know either. Everyone was eating when Fengni ran over and shouted that Li Dahu had chopped up the old Party Secretary. We were shocked, and by the time we got over, the old Party Secretary was already like this. Li Dahu was chasing Juanzi and chopping at her. The village chief and your uncle quickly stepped forward to stop them." There were too many people, so he could only call Li Genzi the old Party Secretary.
Gu Yin nodded. So, none of them knew.
"What are you standing there for! I'm asking you a question! Tell me! What exactly happened?!" Li Sen shouted at Juanzi.
Juanzi finally came to her senses, looking at Li Sen with terrified eyes: "I, I, I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me! I really don't know!"
Li Sen was furious and turned to Li Dahu: "Tell me, why did you kill the old Party Secretary!"
Li Dahu scoffed indifferently, "Hmph, why?! Because I have a grudge against him! I've wanted to kill him for a long time! He's a beast! Scum! Degenerate! People will suffer as long as he lives! He should have gone to hell long ago! Go ahead and call the police, I don't want to live anymore, hahahaha!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Dashan arrived with Li Chenggong and the others. They were horrified when they saw the scene. Li Dashan, his legs trembling, went over and lifted the bed sheet. Seeing that it was indeed Li Genzi lying on the ground, Li Dashan roared and kicked Li Dahu.
"I'll beat you to death, you beast! How dare you kill my uncle! You've got some nerve! If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not Li Dashan!" After saying that, he stepped forward again to hit the person.
Li Chengming and the others also stepped forward.
Seeing this, Li Sen and the village officials quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Stop! I've already called the police! Please don't make things worse!"
Even so, Li Sen was still caught in the crossfire and got punched when he stepped forward.
Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to stop the person, and they finally managed to stop them.
Li Sen, clutching his slapped face, looked at Li Dahu: "Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about Fengni! What grudge could possibly drive you to kill someone?! Fengni is still young. If you're locked up, what will happen to her?!"
Li Dahu kept his head down and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Sen didn't say anything more and could only wait for the police to arrive.
"My dad didn't kill him, I did!"
Just as everyone was watching quietly, a woman's voice came from inside the house.
Everyone looked over and saw Feng Ni walk out with the severed leg and hand, and throw them at Li Genzi.
Seeing her like that, everyone inexplicably took a step back; it was a bit creepy.
Fengni looked up at the people outside, then at Li Sen, and said numbly, "Village chief, I killed him, not my dad. Please let him go."
Li Sen frowned.
Upon hearing this, Li Dashan flew into a rage: "You bitch! What did you say! My uncle is who you are! Explain yourself!"
Feng Ni, contrary to her usual self, scoffed and raised her voice, "It's me, so what? He deserves to die! A scoundrel's life is a waste of food! A filthy person's life is polluting the air! Ha, didn't you want to know the answer? I'll tell you!" She walked to Juanzi's side, looked at Li Dashan, and said sarcastically, "I'm this woman's bastard child born from her affair with Li Genzi! Li Dashan, didn't you always want me to call you 'Dad'? You didn't expect that, did you? I'm not your daughter, I'm Li Genzi's. Li Genzi doesn't believe it, he thinks I'm Li Dahu's, but he doesn't know that Li Dahu was crippled on his wedding night and can't have children at all!"
Fengni felt a disgusting stench emanating from her very bones! She hated it intensely. When they were little, Li Dahu had always been indifferent to her, and she didn't know why. To earn Li Dahu's praise, Fengni was diligent and obedient, studying hard, working hard, and never neglecting household chores. She was also sweet-talking, calling him "Dad" whenever she saw him, and managed to stick close to him. But Li Dahu seemed not to see her efforts at all. The harder she tried, the more he treated her like air. She asked her mother, who said that her father wanted a younger brother but hadn't been able to, which was why he acted this way, and told her not to bother him. From that moment on, she knew she wasn't liked, so she gradually stopped trying to please him and began to become silent.
One day, she developed a fever during class and asked for leave to come home. No one was home at the time. Because she was sick and weak, she wanted someone to comfort her. She went to her father's room, covered herself with his blanket, buried herself in the blanket that was full of her father's scent, and slowly fell asleep.
Later, she felt so unwell that she got up to go to her mother's room to get her medicine. That's when she saw her mother and Uncle Dashan hugging each other through the crack in the door. They weren't wearing any clothes, and her mother was laughing. She was laughing very beautifully. When she saw Uncle Dashan kissing her mother, Fengni wanted to scream, to stop him, to make her mother leave, and to push the door open so they wouldn't hug each other. But her throat and feet seemed to be sealed shut, and she couldn't scream or move.
She watched as her mother screamed even louder because of Uncle Dashan's actions, and heard her mother say that Uncle Dashan was powerful and that she liked him very much. Then Uncle Dashan slammed into her mother even harder, saying fiercely, "Did Li Dahu do this to you! Huh? Tell me! Did he do this to you!"
Fengni didn't know what they were doing at the time, but she sensed something was wrong. Although her father ignored her and her mother, he never hit her mother like that! Then her mother said something that Fengni only vaguely understood: "How could he, a cripple, touch me? Are you pretending to be stupid? You were the one who introduced me to him in the first place, and on our wedding night, you took advantage of him being drunk and hit him with a stick. Wouldn't he have been crippled on the spot? You're not even a man anymore, so what are you comparing yourself to him for? Besides, don't you know best who the groom was that night?" After saying that, she winked at Li Dashan, and Li Dashan immediately started moving again.
"That's true. What am I supposed to compare with a cripple? If I weren't so capable, how could I have gotten you pregnant with my child in just one night? And speaking of which, Fengni does look quite like me. You should treat her well. If the school or village has any policies for impoverished families or students, I'll have my uncle help you with them! After all, she's my daughter; she can't be raised like a beggar!"
Hearing this, Fengni's head spun even more. Wasn't she her father's daughter? How could she be Uncle Dashan's daughter again? She wanted to go in and ask, but before she could even open the door, she was carried away. In her daze, she saw her father. She hugged his neck and rubbed against him, muttering, "It's Daddy, Daddy is Li Dahu, Li Dahu is Daddy." In her dazed state, she seemed to hear her father tell her not to tell anyone about what happened today, or she would never see him and her mother again. Then she fainted.
When she woke up, her father was gone, and her mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, laughing and counting money. Looking at her mother, she thought of the scene she had seen before she fainted. She wanted to ask, but then she remembered what her father had said, so she didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. But before she could fall asleep, she heard Li Sanye walk in, heard her mother call him a jerk, heard her mother say she missed her, and heard them kissing. Then her mother asked Li Sanye to go next door, but Li Sanye refused, saying that it would be more exciting. Then those dirty sounds spread throughout the room.
When Uncle Li left, Fengni opened her eyes. Her mother was startled to see her awake and explained, "Nini, don't tell anyone what you just saw, okay?" Seeing that Fengni didn't respond, she continued, "Uncle Li is the village secretary. If I'm on good terms with him, our family will have more land, and you'll have more money for your schooling, the chicken legs you like, and the new clothes you want to wear. You have to be obedient. If you don't, you'll never see your mother again, okay?"
From then on, Fengni never raised her head again, and she never called Li Dahu "Dad" again. She hadn't noticed before, but later, after careful observation, she realized that her mother and those two were becoming increasingly distant. Sometimes, even when Li Dahu was home, Li Genzi would come over, and the two would call out to each other even louder. It wasn't until she grew up that she understood the meaning of those words, how disgusting they were, and how Li Dahu's life had been ruined by these three people. She also realized that she herself was born sinful!
The people around were immediately in an uproar when they heard what Fengni said. Li Dashan's wife and son were also caught off guard.
Li Dashan stepped forward: "What nonsense are you talking about? What daughter!"
Fengni laughed sarcastically: "Still pretending? You and Juanzi have been having an affair for over ten years, and your uncle is just like you. You didn't know, did you? Every time you leave her bed, less than half an hour later, your uncle comes over. You think she only has you as a lover, but that's not true. You and your uncle are both! I knew about your affair when I was six years old. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really disgusting. You say I'm your daughter, and I always thought so too. But today, when Li Genzi came to bully me, this 'daughter' Juanzi actually said she was my father! Hahaha, Li Genzi thought she was lying, and I thought she was lying too, so he continued to bully me. With his cowardly body, what can he do? Instead..." "I killed him! I've wanted to kill him for a long time! I want to kill you too! We rotten people should all go to hell! Haha, then this woman slapped me and said that was my father, how could I kill my father? She called me an animal, said what's wrong with me being bullied a little, it won't cost me a piece of flesh, hahaha, these are the words my own mother said!" Li Dahu came back from drinking and saw this scene. After hearing what she said, he picked up a knife and chased after her. He's so stupid, why did he have to endure with rotten people like us? He should have left this wretched place long ago. He has such a long life, why didn't he go somewhere else? Meeting us is really unlucky for him! How can there be such an unlucky person?! After saying that, she didn't look at the stunned crowd anymore and went into the house.
A short while later, someone brought out a thick stack of photos and scattered them directly in the yard.
Gu Yin looked down and saw that all the photos were of Juanzi, Li Genzi, and Li Dashan in bed!
"After I learned about the function of a camera from a book, I used your dirty money to buy this thing, and then I filmed every single one of your shameful acts. Surprised? Unexpected?" Feng Ni looked at Li Dashan's face, which was turning black and purple with anger, and laughed even louder.
Looking at the disgusting photos, Li Dashan's wife lunged at Juanzi, yelling, "You vixen! You're so shameless for seducing other people's men! You're such a slut!" Juanzi was only just frightened; after Fengni exposed their scandalous affair, she didn't care anymore. Seeing Li Dashan's wife pounce, she immediately grabbed her hair, saying, "I seduced him? Do I even need to seduce him? I only glanced at him a few times, and he was head over heels for me. You don't know, do you? He said you're as fat as a dead pig and smell like pig manure! He's disgusted just looking at you!"
Li Sen was speechless; there was just too much information to process!
Gu Yin's eyes had been covered by Gu Qinglang to prevent her from seeing those embarrassing photos.
When Officer Wang arrived with five other officers, the two women were still fighting. Officer Wang stepped forward and separated them with a forceful movement of his hands.
“There’s a dead body on the ground! How can you be so careless as to fight like this! You’re all coming with me to the police station later!” After saying that, he ignored the two men and looked at Li Sen.
Li Sen glanced at Feng Ni and then relayed her words. Officer Wang listened without any expression and ordered all the onlookers to leave, but Li Dashan's family was left behind.
When Gu Yin and the others were leaving, they saw Li Li outside the crowd. Li Li also saw Gu Yin, smiled at her, and after Gu Yin walked away, she looked back and found that Li Li was already next to Officer Wang. She didn't know what he said, but Officer Wang nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and then saw Li Li leave.
