Someone is stealing coal. Gu Yan immediately realized this fact. She quickly put on her clothes, took a rolling pin and went downstairs to open the door.
The two young girls followed her closely behind. The cold wind of the cold night made the three of them unable to help but shrink their necks and look around, as if they were in a crime movie.
"lay down."
Gu Yan uttered the two domineering words, like thunder in the dark night. The man dragging the sack on the steps was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground. Even the two young girls behind her were frightened by their mother's sudden outburst.
The coal thief saw her walking up step by step with a rolling pin in her big belly, and his head was spinning in anxiety. When I turned around, I saw a dark shadow, and then I slapped my forehead in annoyance. What I feared would come true.
"Brother Hong, I have hidden the bag. Have you packed this one? Let's carry it together. The sack is too heavy for one person to carry."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan gritted his teeth, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and gave Han Hongtu, who was scratching his head anxiously, a rolling pin. The lazy and slacking man screamed in pain and jumped towards the man opposite.
The accomplice was a lazy guy in the team. Now he finally understood what Brother Hong was doing just now. "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, listen to me, this has nothing to do with me, it's...Oh my God..."
It was a very cold night and Gu Yan didn't bother to talk nonsense. Without waiting for him to finish, he raised his hand and started beating him. I've caught you red-handed, what else is there to explain? Explanation is covering up, I won’t pay any attention to you.
The woman swung the rolling pin in her hand like the Shaolin Temple's Fuhu Stick, and the two cowards who only bullied the weak and feared the strong were beaten so hard that they jumped and screamed. I wanted to run but was held back by the rolling pin several times. I felt pain all over my body and my face was covered with tears and snot.
"Sister-in-law, stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. I was wrong..."
"Wife, wife, please stop it, it hurts so much. Oh my god, help me, this bitch is going to beat me to death..."
He dared to scold her even after being beaten. Gu Yan became furious and hit him without restraint, hitting him where it hurt. Fights are common in rural areas nowadays, and no one cares as long as no one loses limbs or dies.
"What are you doing? Stop it." Old Mrs. Han came out first, followed by her little daughter. The mother and daughter bared their teeth and yelled at Gu Yan like an old hen protecting her cubs. "Gu Yan, you stinky woman, stop it now. If you hit my second brother again, I will never let you go."
"What kind of person is this? Beating her own man in the street is really unwomanly." The third son's wife also took the opportunity to show contempt and ridicule him.
"This second son's wife... has been going crazy these days. She had a big fight with me a few days ago, and then she taught her two daughters to beat up my two boys."
The third son's wife glanced at her with a disdainful smile on her lips. As for those two naughty kids in your family, only Gu Yan, who is useless, has endured until now. If it were me, I would have beaten them until they cried for their parents. Without saying anything, the woman turned around and went back into the house. It's quite cold outside, and she won't suffer the cold unless there's any advantage to be gained.
"Stop it now, Second Brother." The old lady ignored the sarcastic remarks of her two daughters-in-law and was so anxious that she wanted to take action. Unfortunately, Gu Yan was too fierce and she didn't dare to move forward after being almost beaten.
"Gu Yan, if you don't stop, I'll call for help."
The mother and daughter were so anxious that they jumped up and down, and Gu Yan finally stopped. Were you intimidated by these two? Of course that's impossible. She was tired from fighting, her stomach was cramping and she was too lazy to waste time with them anymore. You can't beat him to death, so just beat him as long as it hurts.
"Bring back my charcoal. You have one... one pack of cigarettes to smoke. I'll wait here. If you don't bring it back in time, I'll beat you two to death."
The two men were beaten by her and half squatted and half lay on the ground. They finally got rid of the weapon used to abuse them, but the woman's fatal curse came back.
"I'll count to three. If you don't move, I'll use the rolling pin to beat you."
The two men who were beaten and in pain all over their bodies crawled up after hearing this. They were really afraid of this woman's ability to beat people.
"You stay here, Han Lao Er will carry it back."
Han Laoer's accomplice stopped walking after hearing this, and after a moment he spoke pitifully: "Sister-in-law, what if Brother Hong runs away and doesn't come to redeem me?"
Han Laoer in the front paused when he heard this. He turned around and was about to speak, but Gu Yan had already met his gaze and snorted coldly.
"Then I will chop you into pieces and burn them as charcoal, and then chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
When Gu Yan showed his might in killing zombies, everyone was shocked. These words were like the north wind on a snowy day, with every word containing ice chips. After hearing this, my accomplice was so shocked that he almost peed his pants, with a bitter face and about to cry.
However, the flash of hatred in Han Hongtu's eyes did not escape Gu Yan's eyes, and the woman immediately let go of her accomplice.
"You stole the charcoal, and now you are responsible for bringing it back to me. If I can't see what I lost after smoking a pack of cigarettes, I will break your legs."
"Got it. I'll carry it for you right away."
The man ran away, tumbling and crawling, and Gu Yan waited there. This kid is even more timid than Han Hongtu. He probably wouldn't dare to play tricks after being frightened like this. To put it another way, if these two really dare to gamble with the charcoal, she also has a way to get it back. After all, gambling is illegal in this country.
Seeing her son leave, Old Lady Han pointed at Gu Yan and cursed angrily: "What a misfortune for our family! How could our Han family be so blind to marry a shrew like you? You even beat your own man. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning..."
"If I'm going to chop someone off, I'd start with you since you can't be a mother." Gu Yan's words made Old Lady Han dumbfounded. After living for so many years, could it be that I made the wrong choice to be a mother?
"If you can't raise a child, don't give birth to one. Raising such a lazy and greedy person is a threat to society. Internally, he is not a husband or a father. Externally, he can only undermine socialism and take advantage of the public. You, the instigator, have no shame in repenting and instead indulge him and suppress his wife. What kind of mother are you? You are a threat to society."
"You...you..." Old Mrs. Han didn't quite understand these words, but she knew one thing because Gu Yan expressed it very clearly. That means having such a son is your fault as a mother, and it is all your responsibility.
"Oh, I can't live anymore! I worked so hard to raise my son, only to have my daughter-in-law point at my nose and scold me like this!" The old lady sat on the ground wailing, sobbing and complaining about her daughter-in-law's disobedience and unfilial behavior. "I deserve to die. I don't want to live anymore..."
"The Laonan River has no cover, and you can jump into the well. Go ahead and we won't stop you. If you die, you will be rid of a scoundrel like you who only knows how to throw tantrums and instigate your son to bully his wife."
Gu Yan's words were not low at all, and they were still clearly heard amid the crying of the eldest son's wife and the old lady. The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards and pretended to get up and die. The eldest brother and his wife quickly reached out to stop them. The eldest brother grabbed his mother and turned back to scold Gu Yan.
"Sister-in-law, how can you talk to an old person like that? Mom is the elder, and talking back to her is disobedient and wrong. How dare you talk back to your own mother-in-law like that? Come here quickly and kowtow to Mom to apologize."
Kowtow and apologize? Gu Yan sneered. "As the old saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and he has the responsibility to educate and discipline his younger brothers. What have you done to your younger brothers and sisters-in-law as the eldest brother? You don't know how to persuade your parents to change their mistakes, and you don't know how to teach your younger brothers. You only know how to bully me, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. I want to ask, how do you manage to be the eldest son? You don't know a word of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, and your Han family tradition is only to bully your own wife, right?"
Gu Yan was eloquent, and every word he said was based on justice, which made Boss Han, who had only been to school for one year, blush. I wanted to retort, but I couldn't find the words.
"Anyway...it's wrong for you to take the blame for our mother."
"What's wrong? There's an old saying that goes, if a relative makes a mistake, you should advise him to change. Even parents should be reasonable, right? A while ago, Han Hongtu took the sweet potatoes from our home to gamble. Have you forgotten how you two beat him? I was pregnant and about to give birth. By chance, I got this little bit of charcoal so that the newborn baby could be in a warmer room, but he stole it and gambled. You think this is right, why don't you give him the sweet potatoes from your home?"
"This... It's wrong for Lao Er to gamble. But it's even more wrong for you to talk back to our mom like this."
"Talk back to her? She is such a jerk that she raised such a thing. It is unfortunate for me to marry such a jerk. As an elder, she doesn't teach her own children to be good, but helps her son to bully me. Should I just let her squash and roll me around like a lump of mud? The great man said that where there is oppression, there is resistance. Do you mean that the great man is wrong?"
"How could I say that?" Boss Han said this in a very urgent manner. There's no way, the hat is too big and he can't wear it.
Old Mrs. Han on the ground also stopped crying temporarily. She still has a clear understanding of the revolutionary situation. This woman brought up great men, so whatever she says today will be useless.
The eldest son's wife looked at her younger brother's wife as if she were a monster, full of disbelief. Is this the dull and weak Gu Yan? If she was so strong and eloquent, how could she be bullied by the Han family to this extent?
While they were arguing, the accomplice who had stolen the coal came back carrying a sack. From a distance, he shouted at Gu Yan: "The other bag was carried away by my second brother. It's really none of my business. Sister-in-law, please stop hitting me."
Gu Yan didn't say anything, but pointed to the coal bin and asked him to put it away. Looking at the quantity, it seems like there is indeed one pack missing. He looked up at the sky speechlessly and pointed at the door, signaling him to go.
The man turned around and ran as if he had been pardoned, but was stopped outside by a few people who came out to watch the fun and asked about the situation. Looking at Gu Yan who was not far away, this guy said nothing, pushed everyone away and ran away without a trace.
There were people who could answer the questions of the spectators, and Gu Yan walked back slowly with her big belly. I don’t know if it’s because I was a little excited just now, but it feels like blood is rushing to my head and I feel dizzy. She decided to let that bastard Han Hongtu go for the time being. It's not worth putting yourself in danger for him.
"Mom, do you have a stomachache?" Xiaohua was very attentive. She reached out to support her with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay, I..."
"Are you going to give birth to a little girl? How are you going to give birth?" Dahua was also worried and held her arm carefully.
"We have to go call Grandma Xu. She has to be called whenever a baby is born. Mom, should I go call her now?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan turned around and glanced at his little daughter, impressed by the child's understanding and thoughtfulness. All the troubles were forgotten in an instant. Now I have two well-behaved and lovely children. This trip was rewarding.
"Not yet. Let's go home first. Maybe Mom will be fine after a rest."
