Yun Youliang looked down on Zhao Cuifen, even though she had given him a son. As for a daughter? Ha, is a daughter even considered family?
But these days, it's really hard to get married without money or food. Besides, he's getting on in years. Even if he had money and food, it would be extremely difficult to marry a widow without any burdens—that is, without any children to support. He's not willing to raise someone else's children!
Although Zhao Cuifen isn't much of a catch, and her son Wang Tiejun is always trying to steal money from her, at least she didn't bring him to the Yun family as a burden.
So, after confirming that there were no more ants on his precious son Yun Shuisheng, he still swam over to Zhao Cuifen, grabbed her by the back of her collar, and swam her ashore. However, despite the rescue, after dragging Zhao Cuifen ashore, Yun Youliang's face was ashen, as if he had been cuckolded and caught red-handed.
No matter how much he looked down on Zhao Cuifen, she was still his woman. These days, men care about their reputation, especially when it comes to their women.
The woman he had just dragged from the water, Zhao Cuifen, looked utterly disheveled. Strands of her hair clung to her head and face, half her face was swollen, and a bluish-purple color. Her clothes, soaking wet, clung to her body, revealing her gaunt figure… Summer clothes are already thin, and when they get wet, to onlookers, it's practically the same as wearing nothing at all.
Yun Youliang was furious. He kicked Zhao Cuifen twice and cursed, "You shameless filthy woman, are you really that cheap? Do you want all the men in the village to see you like this? If we men jump into the river, will you jump in too? It's just a few ants, they won't kill you, will they? Can't you just walk a few more steps home, close the door, and wash it with water? Look at you, you've completely disgraced me! You filthy woman, I'll beat you to death!"
He cursed and punched and kicked Zhao Cuifen. However, after all that fighting, Yun Youliang's punches and kicks weren't as heavy as before.
Even so, Zhao Cuifen was kicked so hard she cried out in pain, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Ouch, ouch... Stop hitting me, stop hitting me... Daddy, please stop hitting me, I'll never do it again, please, please stop..."
After kicking and punching Zhao Cuifen, Yun Youliang's pent-up anger finally dissipated somewhat. Exhausted from the ordeal, he stopped, panting, and grumbled, "You wretched woman, get your ass in the water and soak right now! If any other man sees you like this, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhao Cuifen didn't dare to argue, and dragged her aching body into the water to soak. After soaking, she cautiously called out, "Dad, can you ask that brat Yun Duo to bring me my clothes? It won't be good if I'm not here when the Yang family comes."
Hearing Zhao Cuifen's words, Yun Youliang opened his mouth and cursed again: "Do I need you to teach me? Now you know the Yang family is coming today? Where were you before? You stinking woman, you've disgraced me in front of the other villages." He paused, glared fiercely at Zhao Cuifen, and said, "You just wait!"
After saying that, he looked at Yun Shuisheng and greeted him kindly: "Shuisheng, are you alright now? You've suffered today. Come on, come home with Dad. Dad will fry you two eggs so you can eat them to replenish your strength."
