Wang Dagang poked her head hard with his hand, his eyes filled with obvious disgust.
Zhang Shufang moved slowly in the room, clearly not wanting to go.
Even if his reputation is terrible, can he still get a divorce?
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going?" Wang Dagang raised his hand and slapped her across the back, making her ears ring and she couldn't hear what he was saying next to her.
Zhang Shufang covered her face and lunged at him, yelling, "You bastard Wang Dagang! I've given you three sons, and you still dare to hit me?"
She had no outlet for her anger at the Lin family's house, and when she came back, not only did her husband not comfort her, but he also made sarcastic remarks and slapped her. How could she swallow this? Her own husband didn't even speak up for her and instead sided with outsiders. The more Zhang Shufang thought about it, the angrier she became, and she scratched his face.
"You old thing, your upper body looks old and your lower body looks young, I'll kill you."
Zhang Shufang was so angry that her face was contorted. She had worked herself to the bone to raise three children and take care of his bedridden mother. He usually beat and scolded her, belittling her to the point of being worthless. Now she had finally found an outlet for her anger.
The couple was arguing and smashing things at home, even talking about getting a divorce. Passersby could hear them because they were so loud. Their house was right by the road, and the noise inside was deafening. Chairs, stools, pots, pans—they were practically weapons.
A large crowd had gathered outside the house to watch the spectacle.
And what about Zhao Xiaotong?
Zhao Xiaotong was still shivering in her room. She had packed her things and originally planned to go back to the city to visit her family in the next couple of days. She had even written the letter of introduction, but she didn't have any money right now. She could only wait for her family to send her the money before buying a ticket and leaving. But now she felt that she couldn't stay here any longer.
She had no money and couldn't leave, plunging her into despair.
...
The next day.
The intermittent voices of Zhao Xiaotong and Zhang Shufang could be heard on the radio, along with the reprimanding voice of village secretary Cao Wang.
"Read it properly!"
Zhao Xiaotong unfolded the envelope with trembling hands. It was the apology letter she had written yesterday. Zhang Shufang's letter was even simpler; she could distinguish some simple words, but the rest were just drawings that she had to guess.
After writing this letter, I'm afraid I'll lose face in the entire Qinghe Village.
"Zhao Xiaotong likes to gossip with those women under the big tree at the village entrance. Now he knows he's bitten off more than he can chew."
"That's right. From the very first day they came to the fields, they started targeting the Lin family. He Meifang is right. People should be praised for working in the fields. They started working after only two days. Unlike Zhao Xiaotong, who has been in Qinghe Village for half a month and is always complaining of being sick."
After Zhao Xiaotong finished writing her apology letter, her trembling voice echoed through the loudspeaker. Finally, she covered her face in grievance and ran away.
In the afternoon, the postman came to the village. He didn't know any of the households in the village, so most of the letters and packages were delivered directly to the village office.
"Zhao Xiaotong and Lin Yuxi each have a package at home. I'll take it to them when I go back later." Gu Zhixiang held the envelope a little further away to look at it. The envelope was for Zhao Xiaotong, and the large package was quite sturdy. The package was for Lin Yuxi, and it was sent from Haicheng.
The two houses were close by, and since he had nothing else to do, he gave the envelope to Zhao Xiaotong first, and then went to Lin Yuxi's house.
"Our package?"
Looking at the return address, Lin Yuxi guessed that her mother had called her grandparents a while ago, and the two elderly people were worried and sent them some things.
After she opened it, there was a small box inside. Opening the box, she saw a letter.
