Chapter 19: Sour Grapes



Xu Jiajia was a little angry, but not too much. After all, people of this generation generally have low levels of education and a weak sense of law. "I believe the police will handle it as appropriate."

Matchmaker Li wanted to hear some gossip, so she turned back halfway. She lay at the gate of the yard and slowly moved inside. When she heard the word "report a case", she immediately stood up and said, "I, I'll go report it."

Mrs. Xu's eyelids twitched: "Didn't you leave?"

Matchmaker Li laughed: "I..."

Old Lady Xu didn't know who Matchmaker Li was. Before she could finish, she interrupted, "Forget it. I don't want to hear it."

Matchmaker Li: "..."

She has prepared a lot of words!

Why not let her continue?

Li Chengye looked at this and that, then raised his hand to take on the task of reporting the case: "I, I have a bicycle, I'll go report it."

Xu Jiajia thought of the bicycle covered in yellow mud and chuckled, "No need. Ayue's comrade is the police. Ayue, go get Comrade Liu."

Liu Kui had something to deal with at home and was not in a position to listen, so he just wandered around nearby.

When Shen Yuebai found Liu Kui, he was playing rock-paper-scissors with the children in the village.

"A man this grown up, still playing this, isn't it embarrassing?"

Liu Kui chuckled: "Don't mention it, I miss it quite a bit."

Shen Yuebai had an unhappy childhood and had nothing to miss about this: “My aunt wants to report the case.”

Liu Kui sat off to the side during the banquet, not knowing what would happen. "What's going on?"

Shen Yuebai: “Just follow me.”

After returning to the Xu family and seeing the injuries on He Taohua's body with his own eyes, Liu Kui finally realized how vicious the beast she married was: "Besides her back and hands, where else are there any injuries?"

He Taohua hesitated for a moment before leaning close to Old Lady Xu's ear and said with difficulty, "I got burned there too."

Mrs. Xu didn't react for a moment. She stared at He Taohua blankly: "Where?"

He Taohua blushed: "Right, right, right that place."

Old Mrs. Xu remembered. She grabbed He Taohua's hand and said, "Come with me."

Come to the inner room.

Old Mrs. Xu asked He Taohua to take off her pants.

He Taohua was a little hesitant: "This, this is so embarrassing!"

Old Mrs. Xu urged her: "It's already this late, why are you still asking for excuses? Hurry up."

Under the urging of Old Mrs. Xu, He Taohua finally took it off.

The part of his lower body was burned beyond recognition and his original appearance could not be seen.

Old Mrs. Xu felt extremely distressed. "It hurts, right? How could you be so stupid? He beat you like this, and you didn't even tell your family! Where do you put your family now?"

He Taohua's eyes were red, and she choked up as she said, "I wanted to bring it up several times, but my sister-in-law always said that my mother was in poor health and couldn't stand any stimulation. After a long time, I didn't want to talk about it anymore."

When Grandma He entered the room, He Taohua had already put on her pants. She asked He Taohua, "Are you hiding something?"

He Taohua was afraid that Grandma He would continue to ask, so she shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm not hiding anything. If you don't believe me, ask my grandmother-in-law!"

Old Mrs. Xu stood on He Taohua's side this time: "She didn't hide it from you. I went to see her because I wanted to say a few words to her."

My grandmother-in-law has been traumatized enough, so it is really not appropriate for her to know about this.

Grandma He finally believed it, but she still said, "If there is anything in the future, you can't hide it from us."

He Taohua nodded with tears in her eyes: "Hmm..."

With Liu Kui around, a lot of trouble can be saved.

He finished writing the transcript and looked at He Taohua: "Go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow. After the examination, take the examination form and come to the police station to find me."

He Taohua nodded: "Okay——"

Wang Bo was taken away by Liu Kui.

When he was leaving, he was reluctant and only obeyed after being beaten by Uncle He.

Matchmaker Li was stunned. She covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, beating your wife really does get you jailed! No, I have to spread the word!"

Matchmaker Li left in a hurry, leaving only her back.

She came to the threshing ground where quite a few people had already gathered.

Some people were discussing Xu Jiajia's wedding, and some were discussing He Taohua's affairs.

"You think Jia Jia can live happily after such a thing happened during her marriage?"

"Who knows! The Xu family is extinct. Maybe they won't be able to survive!"

Those who had received favors from Old Lady Xu immediately retorted upon hearing this: "What's wrong with the extinction of the family? Didn't they find a son-in-law with excellent conditions? You guys are just sour grapes."

"That's right, Xiao Shen is a soldier, and his rank is not low. I heard that his monthly salary is higher than that of a worker. With so much money a year, how can he not live well?"

"You're a soldier, too. Soldiers have a lot of tasks to do. If they're not careful, they might even get killed!"

Matchmaker Li couldn't stand it any longer and rushed over to the person who said this, slapping him twice in the face. "Fuck you! If it weren't for Mrs. Xu saving you, you would have met your end long ago. You ungrateful ungrateful person! How can you curse people like that?"

The woman screamed in pain several times, her eyes as if filled with poison, looking at Matchmaker Li: "Crazy Li, I'm going to fight you!"

She threw herself at Matchmaker Li, but was held back by the others: "Don't fight anymore, what you said is wrong in the first place. If this gets to Mrs. Xu's ears, you'll be scolded!"

The woman thought of the scene of Old Lady Xu beating people, her neck shrank, and fear flashed in her eyes: "I didn't say that. This was spread by Shen Yuebai's stepmother. She said that if Shen Yuebai died, it would be Xu Jiajia who killed him."

When Matchmaker Li heard this, she stopped gossiping and rushed to the Shen family: "Zhao Chunlan, get out here!"

Zhao Chunlan was in the kitchen when she heard someone shouting. She put down her work and came out. Seeing it was Matchmaker Li, she was quite surprised: "Aren't you at the wedding? Why are you here?"
