Introduction:
As the only surviving grandson of the old leader, Lu Yanxiu is frequently urged to get married.
Even though he has stated countless times that he will never get married in this life, the elders in his family just refuse to accept the fact.
In order to avoid the urging of his family and to recuperate, Lu Yanxiu returned to his old house in the countryside.
At first, he just couldn't stand the neighboring family bullying the new daughter-in-law and wanted to lend a hand to this poor woman.
But as he helped, Lu Yanxiu was completely moved.
————
"Uncle San, what brings you here?"
The old village chief had been exposed to the wind and sun for years, and his skin was very dark, with wrinkles all over his face. "Why did you ask me to come here? You thought I was bored and wanted to come to your house. I have a lot of things to do in the fields, and I'm in charge of the team too."
"The whole team knows what you did. I turned a blind eye to it before because we're relatives, but you went too far this time and almost caused a loss of life."
"Do you know that if you kill someone, you'll go to jail? That's a crime!"
Wang Guifen shuddered with fear, her hands rubbing against the dirt on her clothes nervously.
"Uncle, we are teaching our own daughter-in-law a lesson. How can it be so serious? We gave her a full 100 yuan as a betrothal gift. Once she accepted the money, she is ours. Even if I beat her to death, it is a family matter. The Xu family has no face to arrest us."
The old village chief sneered, "You still think it's the old society. Besides, killing is illegal at any time."
Wang Guifen didn't care.
"She's not dead, is she? How could she die so easily? Country people's lives are cheap. I've beaten her so many times, but she never died."
She muttered softly.
The old village chief said sullenly, "I've already told you this. It's up to you whether you listen or not. This time your family is lucky. She shed so much blood, but she still survived. But next time, I'm not sure. Wang Guifen, you were once a daughter-in-law. If you cause trouble again and get arrested, no one will be able to protect you."
"His third uncle, we know."
Seeing that the village chief looked unhappy, Wang Guifen also agreed with his words.
"Also, this is the key point I want to tell your family today. The grandson of our neighbor, Old Chief Lu, is returning home to recuperate. You must be especially careful about your behavior. Don't bother him, and don't try to establish connections with him. You must also take good care of your own children. If you offend the Lu family..."
The village chief did not continue his words, but the threat was obvious.
Wang Guifen nodded repeatedly: "Uncle San, I know the seriousness of this matter. How dare I offend the chief? Isn't that courting death?"
The village chief nodded, Wang Guifen was indeed a person who only knew how to bully others at home.
"Is his third uncle staying for dinner?"
Seeing that the village chief was about to leave, Wang Guifen hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
The village chief stood up and said: "I don't have time to eat, unlike you guys who have so much free time."
"The chief will be here soon, I have to go to meet him."
After the village chief left, Wang Guifen changed instantly.
"Bah! He just became the village chief. People who don't know him would think he's a high-ranking official. How dare you interfere in my family affairs? I spent so much money to buy my wife, and I can't beat her? I can teach her whatever I want. If she dies, it's her bad luck."
"Grandma, I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
Wang Guifen looked at these three miserable granddaughters and was furious. "Eat like a starving ghost, and you want to eat like a money-loser! I'm lucky I didn't drown you back then."
Wang Guifen cursed but still started a fire because she was hungry. In the past, her family would have already had dinner at this time.
This newly married daughter-in-law is useless in every way. Her only advantage is that she is hardworking.
Since I bought her, I have kept the house nice and tidy inside and out.
She was also completely free.
"Go see if your damn stepmother is awake? If she is, tell her to get up and cook!"
Wang Guifen is a famous lazy person in the village.
"We don't dare go to her. She's covered in blood. Is she dead?"
"Will she come back to seek revenge on us?"
All children are afraid of ghosts, even the oldest girl among them is only ten years old.
Before this stepmother came, they were the ones who often gave milk.
After the stepmother came, grandma rarely hit them and only hit the stepmother.
Children also know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and immediately followed Wang Guifen to bully Xu Lingyi.
"Go when I tell you to. She won't die. Go quickly!"
Even though Wang Guifen threatened with a broom, none of the children dared to approach Xu Lingyi.
The day before yesterday, Xu Lingyi fell down from exhaustion while working and accidentally broke a bowl, which caused Wang Guifen to become furious. She picked up the hoe next to her and hit Xu Lingyi, hitting her on the head.
Fortunately, someone passing by in the village saw it and called a barefoot doctor over, who managed to stop the bleeding and save his life.
But Xu Lingyi still hasn't woken up, and the dim woodshed is filled with a strong smell of blood.
"As expected, little girls are unreliable. They are so timid. They are useless except for eating."
Wang Guifen tried to make a fire for a long time, but the fire in the stove still didn't light up. The firewood at home was soaked by the rain yesterday.
In the past, Xu Lingyi was the one who did these things.
Wang Guifen was choked by the smoke and was extremely angry.
She ran straight to the woodshed outside the yard.
She always felt that Xu Lingyi was pretending to be dead, as she had been lying in bed for two days.
