"Oh my God! What sins has our Li family committed to deserve such in-laws!"
Her rough fingers pointed directly at Su Mingqiang's nose.
"You coward! You can't even control your own father, what kind of man are you!"
Li Fugui grabbed Su Mingqiang by the collar, his dark face trembling with menacing flesh.
"Hey Su, this isn't over yet! Your Su family is bullying my sister, do you think my Li family has no one to rely on?"
Su Mingqiang was being strangled so badly he could hardly breathe, his face turning bright red.
He tried in vain to pry Li Tiezhu's fingers apart, but dared not use force, for fear of angering his brother-in-law.
"Big brother. Let go, let go."
He managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice barely audible.
Seeing this, Li Jinhua became even angrier and grabbed the enamel teacup on the table, smashing it over the ground.
Clang!
With a thud, the teacup grazed Su Mingqiang's ear and flew past, hitting the wall and leaving a water stain.
"Useless! You're a complete and utter piece of trash!"
Her shrill voice was so sharp it hurt your eardrums.
"I, Li Jinhua, was blind to marry such a good-for-nothing! You can't even handle your own father, what use are you?"
Su Mingqiang shrank his neck, not daring to breathe.
With a gloomy face, Li's father took out his pipe from his pocket and tapped it heavily on the corner of the table.
"Son-in-law, you must give me an explanation for what happened today."
"Yes! We must get an explanation!" Li's mother immediately chimed in.
Su Mingqiang was also taken aback. Why would his father suddenly do this? For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Li Jinhua was so angry that she trembled all over.
She grabbed a feather duster from the table and started whipping it at Su Mingqiang.
"Speak up! Are you mute?"
He would tap the finger after each word was spoken.
"You were so tough in front of me all the time, huh? Now what are you doing, acting like a pushover!"
The feather duster smacked Su Mingqiang, who dared not dodge and could only raise his arm to protect his head.
The thin bamboo stick stung his arm, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Li Fugui couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the feather duster from his sister's hand.
"I wouldn't even want to get my hands dirty hitting such trash!"
He turned to Su Mingqiang, looking down at his brother-in-law.
"I'm giving you three days. Either your father takes back the IOU, or..."
He swung the carrying pole and smashed a corner of the eight-immortal table with a "crack".
I'll break your legs!
Wood chips flew everywhere, one of which grazed Su Mingqiang's cheek, leaving a small bloodstain.
He touched his face, trembling, and his eyes widened even more when he saw the blood on his fingertips.
After teaching Su Mingqiang a lesson, the three members of the Li family felt relieved.
Before the matter was resolved, the three of them simply stayed at Su Mingqiang's house.
Su Mingqiang's house only has two rooms. Li Jinlan lives with her mother, and Li Fugui lives with his father. Su Mingqiang is left alone in the living room, where he sleeps on a makeshift bed on the floor.
Su Mingqiang curled up on the cold cement floor, the thin blanket offering no respite from the rising steam.
The living room was filled with the smell of his father's feet and his mother's snoring. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"You old codger."
He stared at the ceiling, gritting his teeth, though it was unclear who he was blaming.
Thinking about having to resolve the 3,000 yuan IOU from the Li family tomorrow, Su Mingqiang couldn't sleep at all.
Right now, we still don't have the money to buy a truck, and this adds another problem to our lives.
