However, Wei Xiangyang went too far, even bringing Zhang Qingqing home to live. Wei's parents didn't say anything about it, but instead showed great concern for Zhang Qingqing. Whenever this happened, Fang Xiaoxia would lower her head, feeling wronged and filled with hatred for Zhang Qingqing.
Because of her stubbornness, she incurred Wei Xiangyang's dissatisfaction. Fang Xiaoxia refused to leave the Wei family, so Wei Xiangyang could not marry Zhang Qingqing. Therefore, Wei Xiangyang, who was drunk, hit her for the first time. She stubbornly remained silent. It was common for husbands in the countryside to beat their wives.
"You think I wanted to take you with me? If I hadn't said I'd take you, would your father have let me go? Bah! Look at you, so unsophisticated! You think you can compare to Qingqing?"
After that day, Wei Xiangyang would beat and kick her whenever things didn't go her way. She did think about telling her father, but what good would that do? She endured it all herself. Her attitude was firm: as long as she was here, Zhang Qingqing could not enter this door!
Because of this, Wei Xiangyang's violence became more and more brutal, until he accidentally killed Fang Xiaoxia.
To cover up the evidence, Wei's parents helped Wei Xiangyang throw her body into the river, claiming that she had been clinging to Wei Xiangyang and then jumped into the river in despair.
Then came the hasty cremation.
During this time, in order to prevent Fang Zhiyi from causing trouble, Wei Xiangyang continued to act like a good son-in-law, successfully deceiving Fang Zhiyi, who thought her daughter was doing well and was wholeheartedly defending her son-in-law.
"Hiss..." Fang Zhiyi gasped.
"Pretty stubborn, why not just leave?" Xiao Hei muttered.
"You don't understand. For women of this era, the idea of 'following the chicken or the dog' is an ingrained belief that can't be erased, and they'll still have that idea even in the future."
"I don't understand."
“Of course you can’t understand.” Fang Zhiyi stood up and went out. “I understand that he wanted to go back to the city, and I can understand that he abandoned his wife to go back to the city, but he did something that was suicidal.”
Xiao Hei said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Too late, someone's going to have to bear the humiliation of the last world now~"
At this moment, in the field, Wei Xiangyang was slowly hoeing the ground, while in front of him, Fang Xiaoxia was vigorously swinging her hoe, occasionally stopping to look back at him.
"You're holding the hoe wrong, you need to grab it a little further back," Fang Xiaoxia said.
Wei Xiangyang smiled and said, "I'm really not used to it."
Fang Xiaoxia was momentarily captivated by Wei Xiangyang's smile. How could this educated youth be so handsome? Without paying attention, she tripped over the hoe that Wei Xiangyang had placed on the ground and fell straight towards him. Wei Xiangyang reached out to catch her. In the original story, it was this intimate gesture that made Fang Xiaoxia fall in love.
Just as Wei Xiangyang was about to catch Fang Xiaoxia, a figure flew close by, and then Wei Xiangyang felt himself being hit and was sent flying.
After kicking him, Fang Zhiyi used his free hand to grab his daughter. After Fang Xiaoxia stood still, she looked at Wei Xiangyang, who had been kicked away, with a puzzled expression, and then turned to look at Fang Zhiyi.
"Father, you..."
Fang Zhiyi took a deep breath.
"We brought you here to do labor, and you've come here to act like a hooligan!"
Wei Xiangyang grimaced, his face full of anger, but before he could lash out, he heard this sentence, and he immediately looked at Fang Zhiyi blankly.
Fang Zhiyi's voice was quite loud, and the nearby villagers who heard the noise all came over.
"Dad, what are you saying?" Fang Zhixia lowered her voice. She was already a little shy, and hearing Fang Zhiyi's seemingly random words made her blush. Wei Xiangyang hadn't been being indecent, had he?
