Zhang Chunhua flinched for a moment, stopping in her tracks. Then, remembering that there were people behind her, especially her father, she straightened her back and glared at Fan Dazhu.
Fan Dazhu wanted to rush forward with great momentum, but his crutch wouldn't obey him. His two legs were of different lengths, and he walked with a limp, which made him look particularly unimpressive.
He gritted his teeth and yelled at Zhang Chunhua, who was standing in front of him like a dead person with no sense of reason, "Are you a dead person?! Aren't you going to help me up?!"
Zhang Chunhua dared not look to her left or right, feeling as if everyone was laughing at her, her face turning a mixture of black and red.
"Dazhu, let's talk this out. You've only been married a few days," said Fan's eldest sister-in-law, who lived nearby, kindly.
Looking at Fan Dazhu's fierce face, Zhang Hui was afraid that he would act impulsively and advised, "It's normal to not get along at first, but you'll get used to it."
Fan Dazhu was initially alright, but after being advised, he immediately felt that the wife he married needed to be beaten! The more he beat her, the more obedient she became!
Once you've beaten him into submission, treat him well, and he'll feel comfortable.
So when Zhang Chunhua reached out to help him up, he raised his cane and slammed it down hard!
"ah"
Zhang Chunhua's screams rang out.
The villagers, who had been watching the betrothal gifts with astonishment, suddenly turned to look at the source of the screams.
"Dazhu!" Sister-in-law Fan shouted fiercely.
Fan Dazhu turned his head away, utterly disdainful: "What's it to you? Isn't it a matter of course to discipline one's own wife!"
As he spoke, his cane struck Zhang Chunhua repeatedly without holding back, cursing, "You lazy bum, bringing your Zhang family's bad habits to my Fan family!"
"All you ever do is eat! You're such a glutton! Do you think you, a woman, deserve to eat those eggs?"
Instead of staying home, all you do is go visiting neighbors and watch the fun. I'll show you what it means to be the boss!
Everyone understood; Fan Dazhu was using a veiled insult to vent his anger.
Is it just that you can't vent your anger at home? Why do you have to beat someone up when they're offering betrothal gifts? Is this disgusting or just trying to make someone unhappy?
However, Sister-in-law Fan is still a member of their family, and he dared to say such unpleasant things. Moreover, Zhang Chunhua's father, Baldy Zhang, was also present, so he would definitely intervene. Outsiders like them should stay out of it.
As expected, Baldy Zhang stepped forward and yelled at Fan Dazhu, "Fan Dazhu! You've gone too far! How dare you hit my daughter!"
Zhang Chunhua was hit hard by the first few blows and cried out in pain. When she realized what was happening, she immediately ran back. Hearing her father's words, she hurriedly hid behind him.
She's completely lost face in front of all the girls in the village! Even if she has nice clothes and hair accessories in the future, she won't be able to show them off anymore.
Fan Dazhu, holding his cane, sneered: "What, so your daughter is now a member of the Fan family after marrying me! As the head of the family, I can hit her whenever I want. If you feel bad about it, return the betrothal gifts and take your daughter back!"
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
They're already married, how can you take her back?
Zhang Chunhua's face was flushed red and then darkened, her narrow eyes glaring fiercely at Fan Dazhu, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Baldy Zhang got impatient and jumped up, cursing, "You want me to give you the money? Don't even think about it! You two can settle your own business. Anyway, the money isn't going back!"
Zhang Chunhua looked at Zhang the Bald in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, "Dad?"
Fan Dazhu beat her and wanted to divorce her, but his father overheard this and returned the betrothal gifts.
Zhang the Bald impatiently shoved Zhang Chunhua forward and shouted indifferently, "Come on, you two go back to the house to talk."
