"Mom, how did it go? What did the Zhou family say?"
As soon as Li Chunmiao led her family home, Wang Daniu, who was left at home, asked excitedly.
However, without Li Chunmiao even needing to answer, just by looking at Li Chunmiao's expression and the baby in her sister-in-law's arms, it was clear that the Zhou family had refused.
Immediately, Wang Daniu became furious and started shouting and cursing in the courtyard: "That Zhou Jingyun is a dead eunuch who has no descendants. I'm kind-hearted and willing to let my son take care of him in his old age, and he's still not happy about it?"
"You bastard who deserves to be childless and have no descendants!"
"Keep your voice down. If word gets out, what good days will we have when the Zhou family comes knocking on our door?"
Although her eldest son voiced Li Chunmiao's true feelings, Li Chunmiao, having suffered at the hands of the Zhou family before, dared not allow her son to loudly rebuke the Zhou family.
"What did Widow Li say?"
Thinking of the instructions she had given her son before she left, Li Chunmiao asked another question.
"mom……"
Wang Daniu glanced at Li Chunmiao with some difficulty, and said in a tone that was obviously lacking in confidence: "Xiao Hui said that Gousheng is the only child that Tie Niu left her, and she must take Gousheng with her when she remarries!"
Hearing Wang Daniu's words, Li Chunmiao was furious. Her slanted eyes were filled with ferocity as she glared at her eldest son, whom she always doted on, and began to berate him:
"Wang Daniu, did you fall into a latrine when you got up at night?"
"Your own son is too big for your own mother to support, and you want to support someone else's son?"
The reason Li Chunmiao wanted to send Wang Dabao away was not only because she wanted to seize the Zhou family's property, but also because she couldn't afford to support him at home.
The reason Wang Daniu wasn't taken to Jianshan Brigade was because he was sent to talk to Widow Li about remarrying.
Last year, Wang Daniu and Widow Li had an affair. Although it caused a stir in the village, no one reported it, and it was all left unresolved.
However, when they arrived in the provincial capital, the matter was brought up, and Wang Daniu was so frightened that he changed his story, saying that he was having a proper relationship with Widow Li and that it was not an affair.
The above implied that he had to handle this relationship well, otherwise, his lifestyle would be problematic, and he would be criticized and sent to a labor camp.
Even Li Chunmiao, who looked down on Widow Li, was so frightened that she accepted this daughter-in-law.
To everyone's surprise, when Widow Li found out, she became arrogant and demanded a dowry. Not only that, she also wanted to bring her ex-husband's son with her when she remarried.
This was practically stabbing Li Chunmiao in the trachea; how could she possibly stand it?
This forced Wang Daniu and Widow Li to negotiate back and forth.
Hearing Wang Daniu's answer, Li Chunmiao became furious, picked up a broom from the yard, and started beating him.
"You good-for-nothing bastard, you can't even control your wife. Zhou Shuixian ran away, and you can't even handle Widow Li. How did I give birth to such a useless son?"
"Go, go and bring Widow Li home for me!"
Li Chunmiao roared at Wang Daniu to come out: "The winter wheat harvest is about to begin. More labor means more work points!"
Wang Daniu couldn't stand being scolded by his mother and left the house dejectedly.
The sky was overcast, a waning moon hung high in the sky, and the wind rustled the wild grass on both sides of the road. Wang Daniu, wandering silently through the village, was utterly dejected.
He didn't know how his life had turned out this way.
Mingming, he and Zhou Shuixian were living a good life before. Every day, besides earning work points, they could just lie down and rest when they got home.
Even though my mother scolded me fiercely, she was only scolding Zhou Shuixian, and she didn't scold me at all.
Why, why couldn't Zhou Shuixian continue living like this?
She hadn't done anything terribly wrong; she had only shared some of the brown sugar and eggs that the Zhou family had sent for Zhou Shuixian's postpartum care with Widow Li, and she had only shared some of the chicken soup that Zhou Dujuan had made for Zhou Shuixian during her postpartum period with Widow Li. She had only beaten up Zhou Shuixian when she caught her in bed with another man...
Are these things really that excessive?
In Wangjia Village, how many men do he know who aren't like that?
Why can other people's wives put up with it, but Zhou Shuixian can't?
The key question is, why must Zhou Shuixian be a daughter of the Zhou family?
If it were any other family's daughter, wouldn't she have advised Zhou Shuixian to live a good life with them?
At that point, I'll just apologize in front of my father-in-law's family, and that'll be the end of it, right?
As for the Zhou family making such a fuss over nothing?
Now he's left with no choice but to live with Widow Li.
When they were having an affair, he actually quite liked Widow Li; she was uninhibited and it was exciting.
But when it comes to living together, which man would want to marry a woman who has slept with who knows how many men in the village?
The thought of the villagers looking at him with envious eyes made Wang Daniu feel that the future would be very difficult, and every step he took felt like his energy was being drained.
Without realizing it, they wandered further and further astray, eventually ending up at the back of the village.
"who??"
Suddenly, a sack was put over his head, and Wang Daniu felt everything go black.
Immediately afterwards, he was kicked hard to the ground. The person didn't say anything, but just started beating him mercilessly.
Fists rained down on him mercilessly, like hailstones, causing Wang Daniu to cry out in pain.
"Help, help me..."
As he shouted, he felt the fist on his body loosen a little, and the man seemed to have stopped.
Before Wang Daniu could even feel happy that the other party had been frightened by him, he felt a large rock smash down on his crotch!
one time!
Two!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The man moved swiftly and decisively, and it wasn't until the third blow that Wang Daniu let out a shrill scream.
Then, there was a fourth strike!
After smashing the stones, the person dropped them and ran away...
"Who's there?"
Villagers living nearby heard the screams and came out carrying kerosene lamps.
Seeing Wang Daniu wriggling on the ground like a maggot, I couldn't help but ask.
"Help! Help!"
The pain left Wang Daniu's mind blank; he couldn't hear the person's question at all and could only instinctively call for help.
"Big Bull?"
Wangjia Village wasn't large, and the newcomer immediately recognized Wang Daniu's voice. After removing the sack from the man's head, he shouted to the surroundings:
"Help! Help! Da Niu has been beaten up!"
At the sound, all the villagers living nearby rushed over.
Upon seeing Wang Daniu's appearance, they all gasped in shock.
"My God, Da Niu, who did you offend? Your brother got his hands on something!"
"Tsk tsk, Da Niu, did you sleep with someone else's wife? Did she make you wish you were childless?"
"Sister Chunmiao, come quick! Your Da Niu has lost his roots!"
"Sister Chunmiao, your Da Niu won't be able to be a man anymore!"
...
The words drifted into Wang Daniu's ears, and whether from anger or pain, he rolled his eyes and fainted...
