Chapter 46: Domestic Violence in the Era 1
“Bang!”
......
? ? ?
What hit me just now?
Lin Xia, whose mind was in a daze, reacted belatedly.
Then there was a sharp pain behind my head and face, and then there was a dense pain all over my body.
Lin Xia wanted to slap back, but she had no strength in her hands.
"Bitch, are you lying on the ground pretending to be dead? I'll slap you twice to death, why don't you get up and cook!"
I blinked twice before I could see the scene clearly.
A young man with a fierce face, medium stature and average looks glared at Lin Xia coldly.
Then the other person added, "You know what to say and what not to say." Then he turned and walked out.
Watching the other party leave safely, Lin Xia's eyes flashed with anger.
The room was quiet for a moment, and suddenly a weak, old voice came from the corner.
"Xiaoqing, I'll go, I'll go cook, you take a rest."
Lin Xia didn't understand the situation and where this person came from, so she looked in the direction of the voice.
An old woman with a hunched back, wearing navy blue clothes and a bitter face tiptoed out to cook.
I took another look inside the house. It was bare and even a mouse would run away.
Lin Xia was lying on the ground at this time. She wanted to get up, but she found that her whole body was tingling, her throat could not speak, and there was a dull pain in the back of her head.
Lin Xia propped herself up and sat up. She reached out and touched the back of her head. There was a big swelling. She took her hand away and felt a sticky sensation on her palm.
It seems that this was the fatal injury of the original owner.
"Hey, Xiaojian has let it go this time... Next time you see him in a bad mood, just stay away from him. He doesn't have a good temper." Lin Xia looked at the person who came. It was the old lady from before.
"Just beg for mercy after being beaten. He won't hit you so hard. You haven't learned anything after all these times." The old woman's wrinkled face was filled with sorrow and concern. She put down the porcelain bowl of water in her hand and helped Lin Xia sit up on the bed.
Lin Xia was still confused. Who was this, her mother, her mother-in-law?
The old woman took out a bag of white powder from the corner of a tattered cabinet and handed it to Lin Xia with a cup of water in one hand.
Seeing that Lin Xia didn't answer for a long time, he said quickly and softly: "Headache powder, take it and the pain will go away. I have to go cook for Xiaojian quickly."
After saying that, he stuffed a handful of medicine into Lin Xia's hand and handed her the water.
Lin Xia took it and the old woman turned and walked out.
After everyone left, she began to clear her memory.
Five minutes later.
There was a gloom in Lin Xia's eyes. She thought about the bad situation of the original owner, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
The original owner was Lin Xiaoqing, 22 years old this year, an educated youth who went to the countryside in 1970. Now it is 1974, and the original owner has been married for four years.
The husband is the man who just beat someone up. His name is Sun Changjian, and he is 31 years old.
Question: why did the original owner, a young and beautiful girl, marry a man who was ten years older than her, whose family was poor and who abused her?
This story has to start from going to the countryside.
The original owner was the fifth child in the family. Her parents were both steel plant workers. She had an older brother, four daughters in between, and a younger brother who was two years younger than her.
Judging from the family structure, the girls in the middle are not welcome, and this is indeed the case.
The original owner went to school with her younger brother, in the same grade and class. She was asked to take care of her younger brother since she was young. She had a cowardly personality and never dared to resist.
I graduated from junior high school at the age of 18, and was urged to go to the countryside after graduation.
As a result, as soon as she arrived in the countryside, she was targeted by her current husband, Sun Changjian, but the original owner did not know it at the time.
The original owner arrived in the countryside and unfortunately encountered the busy farming season. After working on the farm for a month, he couldn't stand it anymore and wrote a letter home in grievance.
The naive original owner had never expected that someone in the countryside was so bold, and she was dragged away by a few gangsters on the road. When she was terrified, Sun Changjian came like a god and saved her from the water.
There is a reason why the story of a hero saving a beauty is so enduring.
The original owner, who had never been protected before, fell in love with Sun Changjian at that time.
Little did she know at that time that this was a trap set specifically for her.
From then on, Sun Changjian often showed his courtesy to the original owner, helped her with small chores, and brought her a handful of wild vegetables when she was hungry.
In less than a month, the original owner was captured and they got married quickly.
The educated youth sister who lived in a room in the middle couldn't stand it anymore and reminded the original owner that Sun Changjian was a second-rate guy who never did his job and always stole things with a group of hooligans. He was not a good person, and the Sun family was very poor, so she would not have a good life if she married into the family.
The original owner was in a strong relationship with Sun Changjian at the time, so she would not listen to other people's harsh words. Moreover, Sun Changjian showed himself to be a good man who worked hard and respected her. Naturally, she would trust the person who saved her rather than a strange sister whom she had only known for a few days.
In fact, her aunt, who felt guilty, secretly advised her to think it over carefully, as the Sun family could not afford the bride price and she would get nothing if she went there herself. Besides, Sun Changjian is so old, the age difference between the two of them is not suitable.
The original owner said that she didn't care about these things, she loved Sun Changjian as a person, and then the old lady left as if she was a fool.
Lin Xia saw this scene from her memory and was speechless at the original owner's naivety and love-brainedness.
The aunt didn't mean that the ages didn't match, but she was hinting that there was something wrong with Sun Changjian as he was still unmarried at such an old age. After all, in the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s, there were very few normal people who were still unmarried at the age of 27.
The original owner didn't think much about it at the time and wrote a letter back saying that she wanted to get married, but was met with unprecedented opposition from her family.
The original owner, a poor little girl who had been ignored since childhood, actually got the attention of the whole family in her marriage. She was sad, scared and excited, and felt that the whole world was against her and didn't want her to be happy.
Sun Changjian immediately coaxed him into holding a wedding banquet and writing a marriage certificate.
They didn’t get a marriage certificate because it cost money and the Sun family was poor.
After marrying into the Sun family, the original owner found out that they were indeed very poor, and she regretted it for a moment.
However, Sun Changjian treated her well, and the mother-in-law at home was very obedient and never tortured her daughter-in-law, so the original owner did not regret it.
They lived happily and sweetly for more than half a year. Except for Sun Changjian occasionally not coming home and not working actively, and herself not getting pregnant for more than half a year, and some rumors in the team, everything in life was beautiful.
Lin Xia was speechless again. The original owner didn’t understand, but she did. Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you have seen a pig run.
Sun Changjian, that short-sleeved guy, is not good at sex.
In my previous life, I was a bodyguard. I heard about Wang Zhaozhao and his wife’s affairs, other couples in the Zhou family, and other rich couples. Hey, how come I am a dirty peeping girl?
It couldn't have taken them more than three minutes.
I'm afraid it was because Sun Changjian was not good enough that the original owner couldn't get pregnant.
However, these were not the reasons that overwhelmed the original owner.
The couple became strangers because a year later the original owner saw her husband drinking with the group of thugs who had bullied her.
That group of hooligans were not from their production team, so the original owner had never seen them before. When she suddenly saw those devil-like faces, the sky fell down. This was an unspeakable shadow in her heart, even though they did not succeed.
The original owner and Sun Changjian had an unprecedented quarrel, and in the excitement, Sun Changjian hit the original owner.
When Sun's mother saw this, she not only did not step forward to stop it, but instead fled the battlefield trembling.
Sun Changjian regretted his attack on the original owner for the first time. He later apologized to the original owner and swore that he loved her too much. He really didn't do what happened before and he was just passing by that day.
Seeing that he was sincere, the original owner really forgave him.
As the saying goes, there are only 0 times and countless times of domestic violence.
Because the original owner had been married for a year and had not yet become pregnant, some people in the team gossiped about him, and Sun Changjian's friends often teased him, saying that he was not good enough.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Sun Changjian himself knew that he was indeed not very capable, so he became angry and started to abuse the original owner, and spread rumors to others that the original owner was infertile.
The original owner was a cowardly person. The fight with Sun Changjian had exhausted all her courage. Although the team did not like Sun Changjian, this was his hometown. The original owner was an outsider and no one would help her.
Furthermore, the original owner really thought that she could not have children, and she became even more breathless when faced with the beating.
Therefore, when she was beaten by her husband, she had to endure it, and would beg for mercy and apologize if he hit her too hard. Over time, Sun Changjian became more justified in bullying the original owner.
Sun's mother once tried to help, but ended up being beaten along with the original owner.
That time, the team did not remain silent and came out to persuade Sun Changjian.
Beating your wife is fine, but beating your mother is unfilial. You stopped before, so don't do it again now. My grandson's mother has suffered a lot in the past, so she should have a few days of peace and quiet.
If you want to beat someone next time, just beat the original owner. Don’t beat him too hard, or you won’t be able to get married again.
Is this human language? ? ?
After persuading Sun Changjian, he began to persuade the original owner, saying that it was understandable for others to beat you, and that you couldn't be blamed for your stomach's misfortune. He didn't divorce you, so you should work harder in the future, pay more attention to Sun Changjian, and go along with him, and then he wouldn't beat you.
Besides, you two had a very good relationship in the past. Husband and wife should be tolerant of each other. There is always someone in the brigade who beats their wife. Just be patient and it will be over.
......
Except for Sun Changjian who would make a few high-sounding criticisms when he did something really inappropriate, the rest of the team just gossiped about the original owner behind his back. The original owner really couldn't stand it and wrote a letter back home asking for help.
Finally received a letter severing ties.
The general meaning of the letter is,
I advised you before but you didn't listen. Now that you're not doing well, don't come and complain. You married so far away and we don't have the ability to come and support you. You've been raised in vain for the past ten years. You're giving money to someone else without even giving them a dowry. Married people should be treated as spilled water. Don't contact your family again.
The original owner lost all confidence after reading it and almost tried to commit suicide by drinking pesticide, but was stopped by Sun's mother.
Sun's mother began to brainwash her, saying that Sun Changjian was also very pitiful when he was a child and was often beaten by his father. You should be patient with him. She said that she was much more miserable than you when she was young. If you could have children, Changjian would not have taken action. If you married someone else with your conditions, you would still be beaten. As for life, you should just take it easy.
The suicide attempt was prevented, and the original owner no longer had the urge to do so, but it wasn’t like he really wanted to die.
Afterwards, she seemed to really believe that Sun Changjian loved her, and that she was useless and unable to have children, so she deserved to be beaten.
Then I was beaten in silence.
In the past two years, Sun Changjian had reasons for beating people, such as the original owner did not sweep the floor, did not water the vegetables, occasionally looked at other men and thought about cheating, etc.
Because the original owner did not resist at all, he was beaten for nearly a year without any reason. The members beat him when they found trouble, when the weather was bad, when he was in a bad mood...
In short, the original owner had become accustomed to being beaten over the past three years. Once he did something, he would immediately admit his mistake and could barely get by.
Then came the beating today, in which the original owner was beaten to death.
The cause of the original owner's death was not that Sun Changjian was in a bad mood this time.
But it’s a big deal!
Sun Changjian cheated! He even brought his mistress home to have sex with her! Damn, he’s still a man!
