Unexpectedly, Old Lady Huang came back very soon, bringing an inspection team with her.
The inspector's face was full of helplessness.
"What happened to your family?"
Old Lady Huang pointed at Fang Zhaodi and said, "She wants to kill me!"
Fang Zhaodi recalled her brother's expression that day and hesitated for a moment. She rolled up her sleeves and opened her collar, revealing those old injuries: "If I could kill you, would I still be beaten like this?"
Old Mrs. Huang was extremely anxious because the Huang family had reported the matter to the police too many times recently, and even the people who came to watch the fun were a little tired.
"Old Lady Huang, have some shame, everyone in the village knows that your family bullies the new bride."
This time, Old Lady Huang didn't argue. Instead, she said anxiously, "Look at my face! And my hair! She hit me! She!"
Everyone was whispering, but no one sympathized with her. Instead, the neighbor's aunt said sarcastically, "What? You're allowed to hit your wife, but she's not allowed to fight back?"
"That's right, that's right!"
The aunt next door can almost hear everything the Huang family does. It was she who reported Fang Zhaodi to the police in the plot. She also has two daughters. When she heard Fang Zhaodi being beaten, she felt sympathetic, but she never cared about other people's affairs. However, it seems that the wind has changed recently. The daughter-in-law of the Huang family has learned to fight back. You can even hear the Huang family members howling, which makes people feel a little relieved.
"You!" Old Lady Huang suddenly thought of something else, "She even stole money from home to support her parents!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
It is common for married daughters to support their parents' home, mostly using private money. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often say this when they quarrel, and even the inspectors feel helpless.
The inspector sighed: "This is a family dispute. I can only mediate and educate you. You are a family. You should sit down and discuss anything, right?"
Fang Zhaodi listened carefully and nodded. The inspector told her many more truths, and Fang Zhaodi was sincere.
But Old Lady Huang felt her scalp tingling. She felt uneasy as she watched Fang Zhaodi sincerely apologize to her.
That night, Huang Minhao, who had been hiding and drinking some wine, came back, but as soon as he entered the yard, he was greeted by a stick as thick as his wrist. It was the clothes beater hanging in the house. It was said that it was passed down from several generations in the family and was almost useless now.
After one blow, Huang Minhao sobered up. After two blows, his eyes became clear. After three blows, Huang Minhao knelt on the ground with his legs straight: "Wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have drunk."
Fang Zhaodi sneered, "It's none of my business if you drink yourself to death, but there's just one thing: your mother reported me to the police today, and they came to lecture me. Guess what the inspector said?"
Huang Minhao looked at her expression with some fear: "What do you mean?"
"He said it was a family dispute," Fang Zhaodi said, her voice slow and steady. "But I promised everyone I wouldn't hit her. As her son, can you take the blame for her?"
"Ah?" Huang Minhao opened his mouth wide. He was hit by the stick again, and his arm was burning with pain. "Why? Why should I be punished for her mistakes? She is her and I am me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the yard fell silent.
Huang Minhao didn't think he did anything wrong, and even blamed his mother. If she hadn't reported him to the police, would he have been beaten when he returned home today?
Old Mrs. Huang was always afraid, and when she heard such words, she was so angry that her blood rushed to her head and she suddenly fell down.
Old Man Huang just looked at it, opened his mouth, and finally decided to shut up. The situation in the Huang family had changed, and he could sense it. At least as long as he didn't get hit, it would be fine.
Just like Fang Zhaodi in the plot, it was not until midnight that Huang Minhao reluctantly carried his mother to the village doctor.
