Chapter 72: Can't bear to let him take it away
"Help! Shen Erzhu is going to kill someone!"
No matter how rude Liu Yeju was, the strength of a man and a woman was incomparable. Shen Erzhu dragged her out, and he did not use up his strength when passing the threshold. The wooden threshold hurt Liu Yeju's back.
When the couple went out, the door of the old house was opened wide, and the cold air poured in.
Old Mrs. Shen rubbed her temples and said, "Dazhu and Sanzhu, go and stop them. Don't let them fight. We in the Shen family don't beat our wives."
This was a rule she had set a long time ago: divorce is allowed but fighting is not allowed.
Shen Dazhu sighed, and went to separate the two with Chen Sanzhu. After Chen Sanzhu went out and closed the door, the coldness in the room slowly faded away.
Liu Yeju was dragged back to the second room by Shen Erzhu. She was completely panicked. She had never been beaten in all these years since she got married. Being beaten was a minor matter. She was afraid that Xu Lan and Jiang Wanwan would laugh at her.
Liu Yeju panicked and admitted her fault: "Erzhu, I was wrong. Please don't hit me. I will not cheat, lie or hit my children anymore."
Shen Erzhu's eyes were red. He pressed Liu Yeju to the ground and tightly grasped her collar: "I don't believe it!"
"Liu Yeju, when did you become like this? You were obviously not like this at the beginning. My grandma didn't agree with me marrying you when we were dating. I felt sorry for you because your father didn't love you, your mother didn't care for you, and your six brothers ordered you around. At that time, you were diligent and clean at home, working hard and never complaining. I thought you could enjoy a peaceful life by marrying me and get along well with my family. Who knew that you would become like a yaksha after coming to our house!"
He told his grandmother that he wanted to marry Liu Yeju, praising her for being virtuous, capable, and not competitive, and for being as capable as a donkey at home.
How did grandma respond?
Grandma said that was not being virtuous and capable, but being mentally ill. She had been tortured by her family and had become a donkey. She did everything in her parents' home, but she might not be like that after getting married here.
He just didn't believe it and thought that Liu Yeju would be the same as she was at home after she got married. As long as they lived a good life, their life would be prosperous.
"Let me ask you, how have I, Shen Erzhu, ever wronged you that you have to make my family so miserable!"
Liu Yeju panted heavily, "We are brothers from the same family. What's wrong with me helping them? Do you need to pity me? Shen Erzhu, don't go over the old accounts with me. Today's matter has nothing to do with my family. I have admitted my mistake. What else do you want to do?"
She has so many grievances but dares not complain, so can you blame her for cheating? It’s all because Shen Erzhu is not as capable as Shen Xingjiang.
These people only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. The fourth brother and his wife are so rich that they have more rice, flour, grain and oil than they can finish eating. There are frozen fish and pig's trotters in the big jar, and there is always plenty of meat.
When a stranger, Captain Cheng, came, they all prepared three or four dishes to entertain her. But she was their sister-in-law, and Jiang Wanwan hated her for eating a few pieces of ribs. She even demanded her pork tenderloin. Because of a few pieces of ribs, the whole family wanted to kill her.
No one helped her, these people were just waiting to laugh at her!
Liu Yeju couldn't stop crying, her sobs almost pierced the roof: "Erzhuzi, you don't love me at all... wuwu... I don't have it easy, I gave birth to two children for you, and you treat me like this. I just did a little wrong, why can't you learn from the fourth brother and protect and pamper me."
Shen Erzhu clenched his raised fist, and after a long time squeezed out a few words from his teeth: “I spoil your mother, are you worthy?”
"Yes, I am a coward. I admit that I am not as good as the fourth brother. If you can live like this, then live like this. If you can't, then divorce me."
He let go of Liu Yeju, and that one movement seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Shen Dazhu and Shen Sanzhu, who were preparing to separate the two outside the door, rushed in and helped Shen Erzhu away. Liu Yeju was the only one left in the room, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"If we can get divorced, I won't live with you, you coward!"
Shen Erzhu was helped back to the old house. He went in and apologized to Jiang Wanwan first: "I'm sorry, Fourth Old Wife, it was Second Brother who didn't think highly of your sister-in-law. If she does this again in the future, you can tell Second Brother that I will definitely not live with her."
Jiang Wanwan: "It's okay, second brother."
She and Liu Yeju didn't get along, and she never thought about anything else. Whether Shen Erzhu and Liu Yeju divorced or not was their business.
Shen Erzhu took Gou Nao away: "Eat whatever you want to eat, and you don't have to be afraid of your mother in the future." Liu Yeju's temper became even worse after she gave birth to two girls. Sometimes when he wanted to help the children, Liu Yeju would get angry and ask him if he had forgotten his mother after having a child. Her angry look was as scary as a tigress. Over time, he was afraid of Liu Yeju's anger and seldom interfered in her affairs.
Only today did he realize that both children were annoyed with her and afraid of her. As children of the Shen family, Guoguo and Suosui were well fed, warmly dressed and clean, while his children were like beggars outside. From this point of view, he was not as good as the fourth child, nor as good as his eldest brother.
Gou Nao saw that his father was in a bad mood, so he picked up a fish eye for him and said, "Dad, you eat it too, don't feel bad."
The child's words made Shen Erzhu feel ashamed. He covered his eyes and shook his head: "It's Dad's fault..." He couldn't help crying.
Old Mrs. Shen sighed: "Come on, let's continue eating."
Shen Dazhu pulled Shen Erzhu to drink and eat, and after a few drinks, Shen Erzhu blushed and talked nonsense.
Most of the dishes were cold, and Jiang Wanwan had no appetite. Seeing that she couldn't eat, Shen Xingjiang's appetite was not very good either, so he simply put down his chopsticks, put his hand next to Jiang Wanwan's lower back, and helped her rub the soft flesh on her waist.
After each sexual intercourse, he would help Jiang Wanwan massage her waist and legs. His technique was quite good. He could find the acupuncture points and massage them with moderate force.
Jiang Wanwan's face turned red the moment his hand touched her.
But... it feels so comfortable, I don’t want him to take it away.
Shen Xingjiang: “Second Mother, you have wronged Wan Wan and you haven’t apologized to her yet.”
Wang Cuixia, who was eating, raised her head and looked at Shen Xingjiang in disbelief. She was the elder and was also kept in the dark. Why should she apologize to Jiang Wanwan?
When Shen Hongjun heard what Shen Xingjiang said and saw his wife's unwilling look, he coughed.
Wang Cuixia put down her chopsticks immediately after hearing this and said dryly, "Wanwan, I'm sorry. It was Second Aunt who wronged you. Don't be angry."
Jiang Wanwan smiled and said, "It's okay, Second Aunt, let's eat quickly."
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was full, Shen Xingjiang took her hand and said to Old Lady Shen: “Grandma, Wanwan has worked hard and suffered grievances. I will take her back to rest first.”
Old Lady Shen: "Go ahead."
Shen Xingjiang stood up first, took Jiang Wanwan's scarf and wrapped it around her, fearing that she would get caught in the wind after walking a few steps.
They passed by the second house and saw that the door was open and Liu Yeju was cursing in the room.
Jiang Wanwan shook her head. Grandma was right. This marriage might not last long.
When he got home, Shen Xingjiang took down the stove ring, lit some firewood, and when the fire was strong, he put the kettle on to boil water for washing his face and feet.
Jiang Wanwan brought a small stool and sat next to Shen Xingjiang. She hugged Shen Xingjiang's arm and leaned on him.
"Hubby, it's so cold in winter, you shouldn't be so nice to me."
The orange-yellow fire reflected on Jiang Wanwan's face. Under the firelight, her face was plump and flawless, like a peach. Shen Xingjiang couldn't help but pinch her face and squeezed it: "Why?"
