Chapter 64: Domestic Violence in the Era 19
Boom boom boom...
"Who is it?" Grandma Fang Fang opened the door and looked a little puzzled. She had never seen this little girl before.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm here to look for Sister Fang Fang. Is Sister Fang Fang back?" Lin Xia asked softly with a shy smile.
When the mother-in-law heard that it was her daughter-in-law's friend, she wanted to show displeasure, but when she saw the things in Lin Xia's hand, her expression instantly changed from gloomy to bright.
"Okay, come in and sit down. Xiaofang is breastfeeding in the inner room." Fang Fang was called out in a loud voice, "Xiaofang, someone is looking for you."
"What's your name, little comrade?"
"My last name is Lin, so you can just call me Xiao Lin."
I saw Fang Fang coming out from the corner of my eye, and then I said to Fang Fang's mother-in-law, "I'm sorry to bother you today. I didn't come when Fang Fang gave birth. This is a gift for you."
"Oh, come if you want to. Bring me something." He said, "Don't be polite." He took the bag handed over by Lin Xia and said, "Oh, it's still brown sugar. Xiaolin, you are so polite. Come and visit me often in the future."
When Fang Fang saw her mother-in-law like this, her face turned red and she felt so embarrassed, but she still sat down calmly.
"Xiaoqing, why are you here today?"
Lin Xia made some polite remarks and said that he came to the county town for training and, thinking of how kind Sister Fang Fang had been in the past, he wanted to come and see her.
Fang Fang started chatting with them and expressed praise for Lin Xia's current situation. The last time she went to the brigade, she heard that Sun Changjian was not doing well, and she was shocked but relieved.
So his attitude towards Lin Xia became better.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and finally Lin Xia talked about her purpose. She said that the commuting time to the county town was too long, and asked Fang Fang if there was anyone around who had a bicycle for rent.
Fang Fang thought for a while and looked at her mother-in-law, who nodded slightly.
"I do have an old bicycle at home, but it is indeed quite old."
"It's okay, as long as it can be ridden." She didn't care whether it was new or old.
Fang Fang originally wanted to borrow it for free, but her mother-in-law was not happy about it. Lin Xia immediately interrupted and proposed a monthly rent of 2 yuan.
Finally, Lin Xia pushed a broken bicycle out of the yard.
"Xiaoqing, you see, you're having a hard time too, so take this back." Fang Fang returned the rent that Lin Xia had given her.
Lin Xia waved her hand firmly and told her the way to make money. Fangfang was stunned. She took the money back with admiration and relief and watched Lin Xia walk away.
Lin Xia had just walked 50 meters when she discovered an important fact: she couldn't ride a bicycle...
She was brave and not afraid of falling, and had good athletic ability. Ten minutes later, she rode her bicycle away crookedly. Following behind her was Fang Fang, who was frowning and very worried about the situation, both for her and for the bicycle.
For more than half a month afterwards, Lin Xia went out early and came back late every day, busy with training. To be honest, the content was really simple, but she needed this excuse to study.
Lin Xia was busy with training and had not taken care of Sun Changjian for more than ten days. At first he was trembling with fear, but later he began to let himself go. During the day he bullied Sun's mother for not telling her about it, and at night he was very well behaved and pretended to be very obedient. His acting skills were so superb that Lin Xia didn't notice anything wrong.
Today, Lin Xia just walked out of the hospital gate and saw Fang Fang waiting for her outside. In the past few days, she often visited Fang Fang's mother-in-law's house. Fang Fang was very much to her liking, and it also helped her expand her circle of friends. She couldn't just entertain herself in silence all the time.
"Sister Fang Fang, what's the matter? Why are you looking for me here?"
"Let me tell you, I just came back and saw Sun Changjian."
Lin Xia was surprised. Is this guy looking for trouble again? She also has a job to settle, so it would be better if Sun Changjian could deal with it as soon as possible.
"Okay, I got it. I'll keep an eye on him when I get back."
Fang Fang just came to tell Lin Xia so that she wouldn't be cheated, and then left.
Lin Xia went back to observe Sun Changjian and found that something was wrong. He was very excited and there was always an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
"Sun Changjian!" Lin Xia shouted sharply, scaring him so much that he trembled.
"You only chopped this much wood today. Am I giving you face?"
"I sprained my waist before, so I'm missing a little. I promise I'll make up for it tomorrow." Sun Changjian swore as he slid down on his knees skillfully.
Lin Xia took out the newly made rattan.
"Xiaoqing, I was really wrong. I will go right away." Sun Changjian fell to the ground, hugged Lin Xia's legs with both hands and begged.
Being beaten with a cane would leave a lifelong trauma; it was painful but harmless to the body. The good thing Lin Xia had discovered a month ago made Sun Changjian twice as afraid of her.
"Look at what time it is now. Won't you disturb my sleep and the neighbors' rest by chopping wood?"
"As the saying goes, today's work should be done today. Even children understand this principle. Look at what you have done. I am doing this for your own good. I want you to learn a lesson."
Sun Changjian wanted to run but was kicked down by Lin Xia. Sun Changjian was so excited after eating the stir-fried bamboo shoots and meat.
After the lesson, Sun Changjian behaved himself the next day.
She was quiet for only two days. It was the last day of Lin Xia's training. She would get the training certificate tomorrow, but the other party refused to let her go and wanted to cause trouble.
Tonight, Lin Xia had just fallen asleep when she heard slight noises coming from the firewood pile. Because of her vigilance in her previous life, she woke up quickly. She listened carefully and found that it was Sun Changjian who had quietly left.
Lin Xia opened the door without thinking and followed him. Finally, she saw him come to the haystack and throw himself into someone's arms.
Isn’t that familiar figure Zhang Qiang?
Zhang Qiang has been in the factory for more than two months and has not been out. I'm afraid that his return tonight is not just for an affair.
Sure enough, the tenderness lasted only ten minutes, and Zhang Qiang handed a paper bag to Sun Changjian with a sinister smile.
This is the sleeping pills he got with great difficulty.
"Now you are the one cooking. Just put all this in the food. I guarantee she will sleep like a pig and won't wake up no matter how hard you try. Then you can quietly throw her into the river. From then on, you will be completely free."
Zhang Qiang's tone was filled with resentment and the relief of imminent revenge. Lin Xia had ruined his reputation, causing him to not dare to show up in the village now. Even his own children had become introverted and cowardly. His eldest daughter-in-law had even gone back to her parents' home and hadn't returned yet. It was all because of that bitch Lin Xia!
"Okay, Brother Qiang, it's not the first time anyway." Sun Changjian was not afraid of killing people. He was only afraid that he would always live under the threat of Lin Xia's violence.
"Brother Qiang, will you go back later?"
"No, your sister-in-law doesn't know I'm back. I'll go back to the county later."
"But it's so late, I can't see the road clearly. Why don't you go home, brother Qiang? My sister-in-law won't say anything."
"No, I'll push the cart later, it's okay."
Sun Changjian is stupid, but Zhang Qiang is smart. If something happens to Lin Xia tomorrow night, he will definitely avoid it in the factory. Even if something happens, it will not be blamed on him. The sleeping pills were not bought in his name, so he is absolutely a perfect innocent person.
