While mocking Yuan Xiaoya for being incredibly stupid, Yang He herself is no less of a fool.
They both knew perfectly well that it was Song Jiaojiao who was "causing trouble" by saying things that were implied, which led to their dissatisfaction and caused them to plot against each other.
Even though it was perfectly clear, Yuan Xiaoya and Yang He seemed to have lost their minds, preferring to tear each other apart and roll on the ground cursing each other, rather than drag Song Jiaojiao out of the picture.
The two looked like madmen, their faces and necks were covered in bruises, their clothes were filthy, and their hair was a mess. They were the epitome of madness!
Gousheng, also known as Zhou Lin, had spent the night playing cards at his friends' house in town and had just returned to the village in a slovenly manner. He heard that his wife and Er Gouzi's wife were fighting in the fields.
Without even putting down what he was carrying, he ran as fast as he could towards the fields.
At the same time, Er Gouzi woke up groggily and went out of the house to see if his wife had come home from work, only to be told by the neighbor's aunt...
Yang He and Yuan Xiaoya were fighting in the field. He was so angry that he kept cursing and swearing, feeling that Yang He was just trying to cause him trouble.
After work, instead of rushing home to cook for him, I don't realize he might wake up hungry.
Despite his cursing and complaints, Er Gouzi still strode towards the fields.
However, unlike Gou Sheng, he strolled along, looking around as he went.
He showed absolutely no sign of worry!
To put it simply, if he hadn't been woken up by hunger, Er Gouzi would definitely have slept until mid-afternoon.
He's a lazy bum after all!
"You son of a bitch, you better stop right now!"
Gou Sheng saw Yuan Xiaoya being slapped on the ground by Yang He from afar, and before he even got close, he roared angrily.
To be fair, Gousheng is indeed better at taking care of his wife than Ergouzi, even though both of them are lazy and so lazy that you practically have to use a shovel to turn them over before they'll move.
But Gousheng knew that it wasn't easy to get a wife, so even though he knew very well that Yuan Xiaoya didn't like him and even gave him the cold shoulder every day, he still treated her kindly after she entered the family.
He would eat and drink with his cronies in town, never forgetting to bring some back for Yuan Xiaoya.
"I think you're fucking asking for death!"
As soon as he got close, Gou Sheng grabbed Yang He with just one hand and threw her to the ground.
Then, he helped Yuan Xiaoya up, feeling both annoyed and distressed, and said, "I'm late, my wife!"
He shoved the food he was carrying into Yuan Xiaoya's hands. Gou Sheng's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. He looked coldly at Yang He and, under her terrified gaze, grabbed her collar.
What are you going to do to me?
Yang He's voice trembled, and the panic and fear in her eyes were about to overflow.
"You bitch, whatever you did to my wife, I'll do to you!"
As he spoke, Gou Sheng picked Yang He up and slapped her hard several times. Seeing that Yang He's head was almost swollen from the beating, he suddenly let go, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.
Yang He's cries sounded incredibly eerie.
Er Gouzi strolled over and saw Yang He lying on the ground, her face contorted with embarrassment, crying bitterly. Beside her, Gou Sheng was showing great concern for his wife, Yuan Zhiqing.
In an instant, Er Gouzi bristled.
His wife is his own, so it's only natural for him to beat her. If someone else beats her, does that mean he's a coward?!
Gritting his teeth, Er Gouzi's eyes were bloodshot as he charged at Gou Sheng. Before Gou Sheng could react, he kicked him.
Caught completely off guard, Gou Sheng was kicked to the ground.
Even so, Er Gouzi didn't let Gou Sheng off the hook, and went up to punch and kick him.
Not to be outdone, Gou Sheng endured the pain and got up to fight with Er Gou Zi.
The two exchanged blows, each hurling increasingly vulgar insults.
If it weren't for some onlookers shouting for the brigade leader to come and stop it in time, someone might have died today.
"Starting this afternoon, you two will be in charge of carrying manure. You have to keep going until I tell you to stop!"
After scolding Er Gouzi and Gou Sheng, the brigade leader, with a stern face, said this and went home the way he came, not forgetting to call the commune members who were watching the commotion to leave.
"Does it hurt? Let's go to the village clinic to get it checked out first, and then we can go home, okay?"
Gou Sheng walked beside Yuan Xiaoya, smiling ingratiatingly as he asked.
"Go buy a tube of pain-relieving and swelling-reducing ointment. I'll apply it at home and it'll be fine in two or three days."
Yuan Xiaoya replied casually.
"Okay, I'll go buy it for you."
Gou Sheng readily agreed, and then Yuan Xiaoya asked, "Are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, I'm tough and can take a beating!"
Gou Sheng grinned sheepishly.
"Fool!"
Yuan Xiaoya glared at the other person: "Who claims to be thick-skinned and tough? And can take a beating?"
Gou Sheng scratched the back of his head and still grinned sheepishly, "It's my fault for not knowing how to speak properly, honey, please don't be angry."
To be honest, Gou Sheng (Zhou Lin) was truly devoted to Yuan Xiaoya. Previously, when Yuan Xiaoya and He Xiaomiao were sent back to their village by the railway police...
Many gossipy women whispered behind the couple's backs, and some even went to Gousheng, thinking they were being kind, to advise him to divorce Yuan Xiaoya so he wouldn't be cuckolded for life.
Gou Sheng cursed so fiercely that he almost made the other person faint!
Which eye of yours saw me angry?
glaring at Gou Sheng, Yuan Xiaoya snorted and said, "Don't think that just because you protect me and are good to me, I have to be good to you too!"
“I didn’t think that way.”
Gou Sheng said in a muffled voice, "You are my wife, it is only natural for me to treat you well, and it is also what I do willingly. I did not expect you to treat me well."
Before Yuan Xiaoya could speak, Gousheng added, "By the way, there's half a braised chicken wrapped in that oil paper. It tastes amazing. Heat it up when you get home."
The other two oil paper packages contained glutinous rice strips in one and half a pound of brown sugar in the other; these were both bought for you.
"You...you don't need to waste money on me. I'll say it again, if I can go back to the city someday, I'll definitely leave!"
As soon as Yuan Xiaoya said this, the atmosphere around her instantly became heavy.
"Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will let you go!"
Gou Sheng felt a little sad. Ever since he got a wife, he felt like he finally had a home again after his parents died, but... he also knew that there was a huge gap between him and Yuan Xiaoya.
One was a poor peasant with little education, and the other was an educated youth from the capital. These two were an unlikely match. The fact that he married her was purely due to the series of unpleasant things he had encountered...
He had hoped that if he treated her well, they could live together forever, but in reality, it was just wishful thinking on his part.
Yuan Xiaoya, his wife never intended to spend her life with him...
That's it. Those who are meant to leave can't be kept, and those who don't want to leave will stay and live their lives with him even if he drives them away.
Er Gouzi and Yang He walked dozens of meters behind Gou Sheng and Yuan Xiaoya.
"Instead of rushing home to cook after work, you got into a fight with someone in the field. You're really something!"
