Zhao Xueyan wiped her tears. Her daughter-in-law was wronged, but Li Pingwang never paid any attention to her and would never say a fair word for her.

In the past, when the eldest brother Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were fighting, he did not try to stop them. Instead, he scolded them, "Fight. Kill one less. You can't just live a peaceful life and always make trouble."

In the eyes of his four daughters-in-law, Li Pingwang is nothing.

But he doesn't think so. He still feels that he is the head of the family and has absolute say. As long as he loses his temper, everyone has to listen to him.

"Third sister-in-law, stop crying and wipe your eyes." Li Hongxia also felt very sorry for Zhao Xueyan, but there was nothing she could do. Third brother was the kind of person who could only listen to what eldest sister Li Hongyan said.

"I'll go find him." said Li Hongwei.

He didn't come back last night. Needless to say, everyone knew he went to the grocery store to play cards.

Li Hongwei was about to look for one when he saw a thin figure with hunched shoulders running hurriedly into the yard. He was dishevelled and his face was dirty, and he could smell cigarette smoke from a distance.

This was a whole night in the chess and card room, and everyone was filled with the smell.

"Is there any food? Bring it out to me quickly. I'm so sleepy and just want to sleep." Li Hongqiang didn't even look at who else was in the yard. He ran to the dining table and sat down, waiting for Zhao Xueyan to serve the food.

Zhao Xueyan snorted, turned around and ignored him. She was still angry.

Li Hongqiang glared: "Do you want to die? I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

"If you want to eat, go find it yourself. Don't you have hands?" Zhao Xueyan retorted unhappily.

Li Hongqiang was furious. He immediately stood up and kicked Zhao Xueyan to the ground: "I think you deserve a beating!"

Zhao Xueyan burst into tears in pain: "Li Hongqiang, you are crazy, you played cards all night and I don't know how much money you lost, and you still have the nerve to hit me?"

"You don't support your wife or your children, and the little money you have, you either spend on your elder sister or gamble at the poker table. You have no shame!"

"Crazy woman, where is your mother? I'm going to beat you to death." Li Hongqiang hated it most when people said that he used his money to spend on his elder sister. Even if he spent it on his elder sister, so what? It was his money and he could give it to whoever he wanted.

Before anyone could react, Li Hongqiang slapped Zhao Xueyan twice.

Li Yujie ran out and saw her father beating her mother. She burst into tears.

At this time, everyone reacted.

Li Pingwang started to yell, "On the first day of the new year, you're fighting. You don't even think it's taboo. If you don't want to stay in my yard, get out."

It wasn't a fight at all; it was clearly Zhao Xueyan who was being beaten unilaterally.

"Dad, talk less." Li Hongwei said angrily.

"What can I say? You all are so useless. You have money but are reluctant to spend it on me. The third child is incompetent and can't earn money. Zhao Xueyan is an ungrateful person. My Li family's daughter-in-law only knows how to run away with her divorced mother-in-law." Li Pingwang pointed at his children and daughter-in-law in front of him and scolded them one by one.

"Women can't run away to work. If they run away, their hearts will become wild. If it's the same as before, would she dare to talk back to the third brother?"

Zhao Xueyan felt wronged and cried, "If I don't go out to work, I will starve to death and my children won't be able to pay their tuition."

"Your husband doesn't make money?" Li Pingwang asked her.

"He doesn't spend the money he earns on me and the children," Zhao Xueyan said in tears.

"Then it's your own fault. Why doesn't your man spend the money he earns on you?" said Li Pingwang.

Zhao Xueyan was so angry that she started to cry, "Only a dishonest woman can spend your third son's money. He is exactly like you as a father. He wishes his wife and children could grow up on empty air and not spend a penny."

"Stop talking." Li Hongwei was not good at speaking and didn't know how to persuade them. He could only shout at them to stop talking.

Li Hongqiang was annoyed: "I will beat you to death."

His father, Li Pingwang, seemed to have his lungs stabbed, and was shaking with anger: "What did you say? What did you say? How can a daughter-in-law scold her father-in-law? Is that what your parents taught you?"

"Third brother, beat her to death. Beat this shameless thing. Hit her in the face!"

Li Hongqiang was already attacking Zhao Xueyan. He slapped her so hard that she felt dizzy and fell to the ground. He also kicked her.

"Don't hit my mom, wuwuwu." Li Yujie came over and tried to pull her, but was slapped aside by Li Hongqiang.

Li Hongxia was stunned by the shock, then she came to her senses and hurried over to pull him back: "Third brother, stop hitting him, stop hitting him."

Zhao Xueyan was furious: "Just beat me to death, beat me to death, and see who will marry you after you kill me."

"You are a good-for-nothing. You are a waste."

After all, Li Hongxia was a woman and had little strength, so Li Hongqiang pushed her away, cursing and kicking Zhao Xueyan.

"Beat her, beat her hard, make sure she remembers it!" Li Pingwang pointed angrily.

"Stop fighting, that's enough." Li Hongwei said it several times, but no one listened to him.

He walked forward, grabbed Li Hongqiang and pushed him away: "Didn't you hear me?"

Li Hongqiang looked at his elder brother's livid face, staring at him fiercely with his big copper bell eyes. He was a little scared.

Since he was a child, his eldest brother would really beat him if he didn't listen.

When the eldest brother fights with others, he is also very powerful and can beat three people by himself.

Zhao Xueyan cried bitterly, feeling that there was no point in living: "You just want me to die. If I die, you will all be quiet."

"Mom, wuwu." Li Yujie came over crying and tried to pull her up from the ground.

Zhao Xueyan was exhausted from crying. She felt weak all over and couldn't get up. Li Hongxia came to help, and together with Li Yujie, they finally helped her sit on the ground with her upper body leaning against the wall.

Zhao Xueyan was heartbroken, but she couldn't help crying. Her cheeks were covered with slap marks, and she looked extremely pitiful.

Li Yujie hated Li Hongqiang so much that she glared at him fiercely.

Li Hongqiang didn't dare to lose his temper with his elder brother Li Hongwei, but when he saw his daughter dared to glare at him, he immediately scolded: "I'm your father, and you dare to glare at me, do you want to be beaten?"

Li Yujie turned around and cried with her mother.

The second oldest child, Li Hongjian, and Wang Xiaoqin also came. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is their turn to celebrate the New Year with the oldest child, Li Pingwang, with their father.

Before I even got home, a neighbor from the old house came running to say that there was a fight at home.

He ran over to see.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Li Hongjian was confused by the scene in front of him and asked quickly.

"It's nothing." Li Hongwei said calmly.

Zhao Xueyan cried and said, "The third brother beat me. He ran out to play cards and didn't come back all night. He still had the nerve to beat me. He also beat the children. Wuwuwuwu, what's the point of living like this? I might as well get a divorce."

Anyway, she is living a widow's life now.

"Mom, wuwu." Li Yujie cried even more sadly. Her parents were going to divorce.

Li Hongxia stood aside dryly, not knowing how to persuade him.

As a woman, she couldn't stand the fact that her third brother beat his wife, but she, as the sister-in-law, had no right to say anything since she supported her third brother and his wife's divorce.
