In order to welcome her daughter who was getting married at the beginning of the year, Jiang Fengxia started busying herself early in the morning.
In addition to the food prepared before the New Year, Jiang Fengxia also steamed the steamed buns and pancakes that her daughter liked to eat, stewed a chicken for lunch, and fried a few dishes, and that was enough.
As a result, the family waited until evening, but Fu Xiuzhi and son-in-law Feng Chao did not show up.
Chen's son-in-law arrived in the morning on a bicycle with Chen Youmei. The sound of the bell made the Fu family even more worried about their daughter.
Did something delay you on the road?
Otherwise, Feng Chao also has a bicycle, so even if he leaves late, he should arrive by then.
Jiang Fengxia was worried. "Old man, take Heiwa with you to go out and meet them. Even if Fengjia Village is far away, they should be here by now."
"Yeah." Fu Manshan walked out dejectedly. He was more worried that his daughter and son-in-law might not have come at all.
Before I even left the house, I heard a few children running towards me, shouting, "Someone's being beaten! Uncle Manshan, Aunt Xiuzhi is being beaten!"
Fu Manshan lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. "What did you say? Who beat my daughter?"
"It's the man who was with Aunt Xiuzhi!"
When Fu Manshan heard that it was his son-in-law, he was so angry that his heart was rising to his head. He picked up the hatchet in the yard and rushed out with Heiwa.
Jiang Fengxia heard the conversation in the house and was very worried. She didn't even bother to put down Fu Baoer in her arms and ran out in a hurry.
Zhaodi also wanted to follow, but her grandmother asked her to stay and take care of her younger siblings first. Zhaodi's little face was wrinkled into a bun. Her aunt was so nice to them, how could she let her be beaten!
Fu Baoer didn't expect that the scene would be like this when her aunt came back, and her heart was in her throat.
Why is it that no matter what era or world, there are so many hateful men who beat women?
Heiwa, bite him to death for me!
When they were almost at the village entrance, Fumanshan saw his daughter covering her face and running towards the old house with her head down.
Someone on the road kindly reminded me, "Xiuzhi, your parents are no longer in the old house. They are in the thatched cottage at the end of the village."
Fu Xiuzhi's heart tightened and she no longer cared about her face. Why did her parents live there? It was a dilapidated house with broken tiles. Could it be that her second and third brothers had behaved like non-human beings again?
As soon as she turned around, she saw her father running towards her angrily with a hatchet in his hand.
"Dad!" Fu Xiuzhi's tears instantly flowed down. She...her dad didn't even have a cotton jacket!
Heiwa was holding the cotton-padded jacket that Fumanshan dropped and chasing after him, saying, "Grandpa, you have been eating well recently and your physical fitness has improved!"
Fu Manshan held his daughter's shoulders and looked at her carefully. "Damn Feng Chao, did he hit you?"
My face is swollen! How much effort did it take?
Fu Xiuzhi felt sad and aggrieved. She had only complained when entering the village that she had left home too late and had missed lunch, and that they should have set out before dawn. Feng Chao got angry, and not only did he pull her out of the back seat, he also slapped her in front of so many people in the village.
You said that my Feng family is starving you, but you are so greedy for your mother's food that you set out before dawn. Aren't you afraid that you will fall off your man while riding a bike?
Fu Xiuzhi felt both pain and embarrassment. All the grievances she had felt after getting married suddenly burst out. She didn't care about anything and ran home covering her face.
When she got home, she wanted to ask her parents for help, but when she saw her father's expression, she thought better of it and decided not to cause more trouble.
"It's nothing, Dad. Feng Chao was just joking with me and didn't hit me." Fu Xiuzhi forced a smile. She didn't want her parents to worry.
"Your face is like this! Haven't I hit you yet?!" Jiang Fengxia also arrived and was shocked by her daughter's face!
Fu Baoer was also shocked. Her aunt's face was swollen and a few bright red fingerprints were faintly visible on it. The force was too strong.
When Fu Xiuzhi saw her mother, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Feng Chao pushed the cart and caught up. When he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he was not afraid at all. What else could those two old people do for Fu Xiuzhi?
He is not afraid of her brothers.
"Mom and Dad, you have to talk to Xiuzhi. She is so ignorant. Not only is she lazy and gluttonous after marrying into the family, but she also doesn't feel sorry for the man she lives with at all..." Feng Chao was still chattering, not noticing his father-in-law's expression at all.
"My daughter is lazy and gluttonous? We in Xiuzhi are well-known for our diligence and good temper in the surrounding area!"
Fu Manshan raised the machete and wanted to chop it down at his son-in-law's ugly face. Fu Baoer was afraid that his grandfather would cause a death, so he winked at Heiwa.
Heiwa dropped the cotton jacket in his mouth, barked and pounced over, knocking Feng Chao to the ground.
Feng Chao cried out in pain and fell backwards to the ground, with the half-new 28-inch bicycle still pressing down on his back. He tried to get up, but was pinned down by Heiwa and couldn't move.
What kind of dog is this? It’s so strong!
Fu Manshan was just furious, but now he calmed down a little. He didn't use the machete to chop, but kicked his son-in-law a few times to vent his anger.
"Let's go! Girl, let's go home!"
Fu Manshan picked up the cotton jacket and put it on, then led his daughter home.
Jiang Fengxia hugged Fu Baoer, turned around and spat at Feng Chao, "You dare to hit my daughter? This matter is not over!"
The people watching the excitement around didn't expect that the old couple of the Fu family would be so angry. It's normal for a couple to fight nowadays. But for a slap in the face, they beat up their son-in-law like this. How can they live like this in the future?
Zhao Li and Li Ying, who were hiding in the crowd, smiled maliciously and offended Feng Chao. Let's see what Fu Xiuzhi will do!
.
Fujia.
Fu Xiuzhi lay in her mother's arms and cried bitterly.
Less than a year after getting married, her life has changed dramatically. Who else can she tell about these grievances except her parents?
She had also observed along the way that her parents seemed to be doing well. Her three nieces were fair and tender, and they didn't look like they were suffering.
Maybe she could try asking her parents for advice.
As Fu Xiuzhi cried, Jiang Fengxia and Fu Manshan realized that the marriage that seemed respectable to outsiders had actually brought so much pain to their daughter!
Feng Chao was not at all like what the matchmaker had said, nor was he as gentle and good-tempered as they had seen. Instead, he had a completely violent temper. If Fu Xiuzhi did anything that displeased him, he would beat her up.
Sometimes they would just slap me and sometimes they would even hit me with a broom or a stick.
Jiang Fengxia's hands were trembling, and she didn't dare to touch her daughter's arm. Tears of regret and self-blame streamed down her face.
Beating people is one thing, but Feng Chao also had an affair with a widow in the village. After being seen by Fu Xiuzhi, not only did he not repent, he also forced Fu Xiuzhi to accept their relationship.
If she didn't listen, she would be beaten. Except for her face, all the places where Fu Xiuzhi was not visible were covered with scars and bruises.
The two elders of the Feng family were also heartless. They made Fu Xiuzhi get up to work at four o'clock every morning, and set rules for eating, not allowing her to sit at the table to eat. For the past year, Fu Xiuzhi had been eating in the kitchen by herself.
Fu Xiuzhi's mother-in-law often scolded her, saying all kinds of unpleasant things, and also instigated Feng Chao to beat her.
Because she didn't get pregnant this year, her mother-in-law often said that she was a chicken that didn't lay eggs.
Fu Xiuzhi sobbed when she thought of this.
