Cao Maizi was at a loss and quickly ran to the kitchen to bring her a bowl of water to rinse her mouth.
Du Mei was so frightened that she quickly covered her two daughters' mouths.
The second wife drank water, rinsed her mouth with gurgling sounds, and spat out a lot of grayish water. Su Xueli covered her mouth and didn't look.
After spitting out the ash from her mouth, the old woman dared not curse anymore. Cao Maizi and Du Mei helped her up, and she stopped flailing her arms and legs and walked out obediently.
"Hahaha..." The young couple laughed heartily.
"Wow, that was amazing, so cool! But where did you get the inspiration for that handful of ash...?"
"You're even charming when you're swearing. Have you ever practiced it...?"
The two of them admired and flattered each other endlessly.
The unpleasantness caused by Lin Meizhi's breakup letter that day has vanished into thin air.
While the two were having a good time, Du Mei was suffering. The second wife took out all the anger she had suffered at Zhou Mingshen's house on her daughter-in-law.
As soon as Cao Maizi left her house, she grabbed a broom and started whipping Du Mei across the face, cursing and yelling that she would hang her up and beat her again when her son came back.
Du Mei felt guilty and stood motionless as Du Mei was hit and scolded without uttering a sound. She was used to this and her heart was dead.
So when the old woman said she would hang her up and beat her when her husband came back, she was unmoved. Anyway, they couldn't bear to beat her to death because they still needed her to do the work.
As long as she lives, her two children will still have their own mother and someone to love them. Although she, as their mother, is not capable of protecting them completely, at least she can let her two children enjoy the little love she can give them with all her might.
Perhaps her stillness and silence made the second wife feel that there was no point in continuing the fight. She reached out and pulled Zhao Di and Pan Di, who were huddled in the corner, and began to beat them violently, cursing viciously as she did so: "It's all your fault, you two little sluts! You made your grandma get beaten and humiliated by two little beasts! I'll beat you two little sluts to death! I'll beat you two little sluts to death!"
"Ah..." The two children let out a piercing cry.
The broom seemed to strike Du Mei's heart. She jolted and rushed over, shielding the two children behind her. She said to the old woman, "Mother, the children are young and don't understand. Hit me instead, I'll take the beating for them."
The second wife felt a surge of anger when she saw her daughter being beaten, and now she was even more determined to beat her two granddaughters. She slapped Du Mei across the face with a broom and cursed, "What do you mean you're taking the beating for them? You three sluts all deserve to be beaten. I'll beat these two little sluts to death first, and then I'll beat you to death."
He shoved Du Mei aside while cursing, then grabbed the child's hair and started whipping him.
They were spanking my butt just now, and now they're spanking my head and face.
Du Mei was determined to protect her two children, even at the cost of her life. She grabbed the old woman from behind and shouted to her two granddaughters, "You two run! Run to your Uncle Ming Shen's house!"
Hearing this, Zhao Di, who was crying loudly, hurriedly pulled his sister to run away. But the old woman was well-fed and clothed and in excellent health, while Du Mei worked tirelessly like a donkey in the production team all year round, and her health was severely depleted. She was no match for the old woman.
So when the second wife heard that her daughter-in-law had sent her two granddaughters to Zhou Mingshen's house again, she flew into a rage and flung Du Mei, who was behind her, to the ground.
The two children, who had only run a few steps, saw their mother being knocked down by their grandmother and ran back crying, only to be caught by the second wife.
She grabbed her two granddaughters by the back of their necks and slammed them to the ground.
"Thump, thump..." The sound of two little heads hitting the ground exploded in Du Mei's ears.
The words Su Xueli had just said to her flashed through her mind... She screamed, scrambled to her feet, and ran to the kitchen.
When the neighbors heard the second wife shouting "Murder! Murder!" and ran over, they saw the second wife running out with her face covered in blood, followed by Du Mei, who was holding a gleaming kitchen knife.
