Seeing Wang Qiaofen's appearance made Li Dafa feel uncomfortable. When he stepped forward, he saw the handprints on Li Xiaohua and his granddaughter's faces, which made him very angry.
Even if he doesn't value his daughter as much as he values his son, she is still his child, and he can't let others bully her so easily.
He walked up to Li Xiaohua and asked, "Xiaohua, was that slap mark on your face done by that brat Bao Guojun?"
When Li Xiaohua saw that Li Dafa still cared about her, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She hugged her daughter and said, "He not only hit me, but he also hit Niu Niu."
Li Dafa said, "Who does he think he is? How dare he hit my daughter?"
Wang Qiaofen tugged at him from behind and said, "Men and women always have their ups and downs in life, and you even scold me sometimes!"
Upon hearing Wang Qiaofen's words, Li Dafa turned around and retorted, "I scolded you because you deserved it, but I've hardly ever laid a finger on my children, so why should Bao Guojun do so?"
Just then, Qian Rao and the other two stopped, and Bao Guojun lay on the ground like a lump of mud.
When Qian Duoduo saw that Qian Rao and the others had stopped, she went to Jin Jinxiu's side, pulled her aside, and said, "Mom, take a rest. You must be exhausted."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Jin Jinxiu released Bao Laotai. Looking at the disheveled old lady on the ground, Jin Jinxiu spat.
Today, Grandma Bao and Bao Guojun came over, but not only did they not get a single penny, they were also beaten twice, which made them feel that Beian Village was not a good place.
Bao Guojun felt the fists and feet hitting him stop, and his whole body relaxed. The only thing that could move was his nose, which was stubbornly humming.
Grandma Bao lost a lot of her hair from being pulled, and her cheeks were scratched all over with red lines.
Qian Sheng looked at Jia Ao and Li Xiaohua and said, "You two, come here and tell me, how did these two idiots end up in our tofu shop?"
Jia Ao stepped forward and said, "Captain, all the workers in the tofu workshop went to the brigade headquarters today. I was tidying up the tofu-making cloths here when these two people came. They specifically asked for Comrade Li Xiaohua. I was going to ask Comrade Li, but this old lady said she was Li Xiaohua's mother-in-law and had brought her daughter to see her. I thought that since there was a little child, she might really be missing her mother, so I let them in."
"I'm so sorry, Captain, I never expected them to hit someone."
Qian Sheng nodded to Jia Ao, then turned to Li Dafa and said, "Accountant Li, this is your in-law. We can understand the child looking for its mother, but resorting to violence is wrong!"
Li Dafa nodded and said, "That's definitely not right. Even if the people of our Beian Village get married, we can't let others bully them. Otherwise, what will happen to the girls in our village in the future!"
Upon hearing Li Dafa's words, Old Lady Bao immediately sat down on the ground, looked at him, and said, "Li Xiaohua married into our family, so she is one of us. She is our family in life and in death!"
Qian Duoduo snorted: "Old woman, you're actually promoting feudal superstition here. I think we should find the GWH (government authorities) and take you there to give you a proper lecture on the Five Stresses and Four Beauties!"
When Grandma Bao heard the words "GWH," her body trembled. She knew that once you entered that place, you would be lucky to escape with your life. She looked at Qian Duoduo and said, "How could you be so heartless as to send someone like me, who is practically half-buried, to such a place?"
Qian Duoduo: "That kind of place? What kind of place? Old lady, you should be careful what you say. Can your old bones handle it?"
Grandma Bao immediately fell silent. She didn't want to argue with this girl any longer; she'd send her to the police station in a heartbeat. She looked at Li Dafa and said, "Li Dafa, Li Xiaohua is my daughter-in-law. She married my Guojun and even had a child. She's part of our family. It's normal for her to serve me tea and water and take care of her mother-in-law. Besides, she's been married to my Guojun for so many years and has only given birth to this worthless girl. She hasn't even had a son. Humph, it's already a favor that she's serving my family."
Qian Duoduo snorted rather unkindly: "Old woman, I really have to remind you, this is the new China, not the Qing Dynasty. Why are you still serving tea and water and setting rules? What, do you want your daughter-in-law to go through all the suffering you endured? I never knew you had such outdated ideas!"
A boy, too? Great man said women hold up half the sky. This is discrimination against women! What, you can't live without a son? Does your family have any inheritance? Hundreds of acres of fertile land or gold and silver?
This is a new society now, and we talk about gender equality.
Grandma Bao didn't want to see Qian Duoduo at all, and she didn't want to hear these exaggerated remarks. Her gaze was fixed on Li Dafa: "Hmph, Li Xiaohua earns two wages but only gives one to the family. She's obviously having an affair. We're already being kind by not divorcing her!"
Qian Duoduo stepped forward: "Two jobs? Who told you that she's working two jobs?"
Old Mrs. Bao snorted: "What's it to you?"
Qian Duoduo crossed her arms and said, "It has nothing to do with me, I was just curious!"
When Li Xiaohua heard what Grandma Bao said, she felt the little body in her arms tremble. She looked at the child in her arms in surprise. Niu Niu also opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Xiaohua. A gloating look flashed in her eyes. Li Xiaohua's heart sank. It was her who said it. She had only mentioned it when she was comforting her daughter after the child was beaten by Bao Guojun. She did not expect that she would remember it and tell the Bao family.
