Suman was shocked.
The woman before her was thin, with bruises all over her exposed skin. The corners of her mouth were broken, and even her eye sockets were bruised.
This is the second sister of the Wang family, Wang Xuemei.
She married Tian Mazi, a hunter in the mountains. Tian Mazi came from a wealthy family and it was her first marriage. She thought he was a good family, but after marrying him, she found out it was a hell of a family.
Tian Mazi was addicted to alcohol, and he liked to beat people when he drank. He would punch and kick Wang Xuemei if he was not satisfied.
Although Liu Ping came to his house many times, Tian Mazi would beat her even harder the next time.
He also threatened that if Wang Xuemei dared to run back home, he would kill her entire family with a hunting rifle.
The farmer was simple and honest, so how could he dare to provoke the hunter with a hunting rifle? He had to endure it.
This time she was probably beaten too hard, so Wang Xuemei ran back to her parents' home without caring about anything.
...
In the kitchen, Liu Ping heard the noise and came out.
Seeing Wang Xuemei being beaten like this, his lips trembled with anger, "This beast!"
Wang Xuemei's face was swollen and bloody, and it was unbearable to look at. She cried bitterly, "Tian Mazi said he wanted to beat me to death. What should I do, Mom? When will this end? I really can't bear it anymore."
"My poor daughter." Liu Ping hugged her and burst into tears.
Such sad cries reflect the helplessness of women in the current era and the pain of not being able to control their own destiny.
Liu Ping suppressed her grief and said, "Okay, stop crying. Let's go to the fields to find your brother. Otherwise, if that beast comes soon, it will be all over."
There was work to do in the fields today, so Wang Fugui and Wang Fengye left without having breakfast. Now there was not even a man at home to help, so it was no wonder that Liu Ping was anxious.
Wang Xuemei said pessimistically, "It's too late, too late. He's coming soon. He has a hunting rifle. What if he kills us?"
Just as the mother and daughter were panicking, Su Man decisively locked the door and turned to Wang Xuemei and said, "Second sister, go into the house and hide first. Let Mom and I handle the outside."
“.......”
This was the first time Wang Xuemei met Su Man.
Many years later, she still remembered Su Man's calm look and her decisive tone.
She just came out of nowhere and changed her life.
-
There was no other way, so the mother and daughter could only obey Su Man. Wang Xuemei hid in the east room, while Liu Ping followed Su Man's instructions and cooked in the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
After a while, there was a loud knock on the door.
"Open the door! Wang Xuemei, get out right here! If you don't open the door, I'll come in and kill you all! Open the door!"
The man's burly voice sounded like a firecracker, making people dizzy.
The door panels flickered and the bolts were shaky.
When Liu Ping heard the voice, she panicked and looked at Su Man subconsciously.
Instead of blocking the door, Su Man opened it, muttering, "Who is it, so early in the morning?"
The man who came in from outside was shirtless, with a hunting rifle on his waist. He looked like a mountain of flesh and had a ferocious look on his face.
As soon as he walked in, he started yelling, "Where's that bitch? Get out of here!"
"Brother, who are you looking for?"
Tian Mazi was attracted by the soft voice. He turned around and saw a woman with pigtails smiling at him.
Such a pretty appearance strangely made his anger dissipate most of it. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Where is Wang Xuemei? Tell her to get out!"
At this time, Liu Ping came out of the kitchen, holding pickles in her hands, and said in a bad tone, "Tian Mazi, why are you yelling at my house so early in the morning?"
Although her voice sounded tough, her fingertips were shaking violently and it seemed that she was very scared.
Tian Mazi, a rough man, didn't notice the incongruity of this and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Wang Xuemei go back to her parents' home?"
He immediately denied it, "Impossible, that bitch has nowhere else to go. I'm telling you, if you don't hand her over, I'll turn your house upside down!"
In front of the other person's mother, he kept calling her a bitch, which made Liu Ping so angry that her face turned red.
However, this little bit of anger accidentally dispelled her guilty conscience.
With a bang, Liu Ping dropped the bowl on the table. "Son-in-law, our daughter has been in chaos for the past few years since she married you. There's always a lot of fighting going on. I haven't seen our daughter for several months. You ask me, and I want to ask you something."
Liu Ping's words actually confused Tian Mazi, and he began to doubt, "Is Wang Xuemei really not with you?"
"If you don't believe it, go find it yourself."
After saying that, Liu Ping ignored him and turned to run to the kitchen.
“…”
At this moment, Wang Xuemei's heart was beating like a drum in the east room.
If Tian Mazi didn't believe it and came in to find her, he would beat her to death.
Just one door away.
Tian Mazi's calf-like eyes scanned the surroundings and suddenly focused on the east room.
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded.
"Brother-in-law, you haven't eaten yet this early in the morning, right? The meal is ready. There's some freshly brewed grain wine in the room. Would you like some?"
Tian Mazi's gaze turned to Su Man again. He stared at Su Man with ill intentions.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
"Hey, brother-in-law, please sit down. The wine will be here soon."
Su Man twisted her waist and walked towards the kitchen, staring at Tian Mazi behind her with her eyes wide open, and she no longer remembered the suspicion she had just had.
-
In the kitchen, Liu Ping lowered her voice.
"Girl, why do you keep him here if you don't drive him away?"
