"No, no, Xiao Cui died of poisoning herself. We took her to the hospital for treatment, but despite spending a lot of money, we couldn't save her," Ding Ermei said with a bitter face.
"Pah! That sounds nice." Hu Xinghua raised her hand and slapped Ding Ermei twice more, making her feel utterly hopeless.
"Zhou Bingxing, tell me, what exactly happened?" At this moment, Ding Yougui dragged Zhou Bingxing out of the house and threw him next to Ding Ermei.
“Father-in-law, Xiao Cui is dead, and I am very sad! Even if you beat me to death, Xiao Cui will not come back to life!” Zhou Bingxing said with a mournful face.
Zhou Bingxing was fast asleep inside the house.
After Ding Yougui rushed into the room, he pulled Zhou Bingxing off the bed and slapped him across the face.
Ding Yougui was strong and ruthless. With one slap, Zhou Bingxing's molars were loosened, and half of his cheek was swollen high.
"Fine, then I'll beat you to death today, so you and Xiao Cui can keep each other company underground." Ding Yougui raised his foot and kicked.
Ding Yougui was seething with anger.
Yesterday, Zhou Jiaxiang secretly went to the Ding family to inform them that Ding Xiaocui had only been dead for a few days, and Ding Ermei had already started looking for a new wife for Zhou Bingxing.
Ding Yougui came today not only to vent his anger, but also to accomplish something important.
Zhou Bingchen screamed as Ding Yougui kicked him.
"Big brother, big brother, don't be impulsive! If you kill Bingxing, you'll be executed too!" Upon seeing this, Ding Ermei rushed over and hugged Ding Yougui's leg.
"I'm not afraid, I'll take your life for yours!" Ding Yougui said bitterly, shaking off Ding Ermei.
"They're killing him! Help! Murder! Help!" Ding Ermei shouted anxiously when she saw Zhou Bingxing rolling around on the ground being beaten.
The villagers of Zhoujia Village originally didn't want to get involved in Ding Ermei's messy affairs.
Ding Ermei's cries for help were so piercing that the villagers couldn't resist coming out to see what was going on.
Aunt Zhang, holding her husband's hand, hid behind the crowd to watch the commotion.
Ding Ermei is a bad person, and Aunt Zhang is unwilling to let her own family stand up for her.
Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing looked rather pitiful, and some villagers couldn't help but speak up.
"Who are you? Why are you coming to our Zhoujia Village to beat people up?"
"Stop it right now! Otherwise, we'll call the police."
"Let's talk this out, don't hit people."
After all, this is Zhoujia Village. For outsiders to come and beat people up, isn't that a slap in the face to Zhoujia Village?
"Fellow villagers, we are Ding Ermei's family. I am Ding Ermei's elder brother and Zhou Bingxing's father-in-law. This is my wife," Ding Yougui said, pointing to Hu Xinghua beside him.
“They are indeed from the Ding family; I’ve met them a few times before.”
"Even if they are from the Ding family, you can't just come to their door and beat them to death!"
"We're all relatives, so come in, sit down, and talk things out. Don't resort to violence."
Everyone offered their advice.
“Fellow villagers, we also want to talk things out, but my Xiao Cui died under mysterious circumstances. Ding Er Mei and Zhou Bing Xing are heartless. They neither informed our family nor properly arranged a funeral for my Xiao Cui. Tell me, how can we tolerate this?” Hu Xing Hua wiped away her tears.
"What? Ding Xiaocui is dead? I saw her just two weeks ago, she was lively and energetic!"
"Isn't Ding Xiaocui sick and hospitalized?"
"I haven't heard of Zhou Fugui's family having a funeral!"
Many people were stunned by the news of Ding Xiaocui's death.
“Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing are heartless! My Xiaocui died in the hospital, and Ding Ermei and her son carried Xiaocui up the mountain, dug a pit, and buried her like that! My poor Xiaocui, it breaks my heart!” Hu Xinghua clenched her fists and pounded her chest, crying as she spoke.
"What?"
"Dig a hole and bury them? Are Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing really that heartless?"
"How utterly heartless! Ding Xiaocui had given birth to three children for Zhou Bingxing! Now that she's dead, the Zhou family won't even hold a proper funeral for her."
"No wonder her family came to cause trouble; they deserved it!"
The villagers all shook their heads.
“I also want to give Xiao Cui a grand funeral, but we have no money left! Xiao Cui’s hospitalization this time cost me 120 yuan just for the surgery! I’ve emptied my savings! Where would I get the money for a funeral?” Seeing that things were not going well, Ding Ermei hurriedly cried out her difficulties.
“You’re talking nonsense. Xiao Cui died, and the hospital gave her compensation,” Hu Xinghua couldn’t help but retort.
"Oh dear, this is such a misunderstanding! Sister-in-law, where did you hear this news? Xiao Cui is my own niece. If I had money, would I not pay for Xiao Cui's funeral?" Ding Ermei clapped her hands and cried out in injustice.
"You really have no money left? I heard you recently asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for Zhou Bingxing!" Hu Xinghua pressed.
"That's not true, sister-in-law. If I were to lie, may I be struck by lightning!" Ding Ermei gritted her teeth and said.
"Fine, you said it, Ding Ermei. I'll wait for the day you get struck by lightning." Myolie Wu couldn't help but curse.
Ding Ermei looked embarrassed, but dared not say anything more.
"Ding Ermei, since you are so heartless, our two families are severing ties. From now on, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with the Ding family. Mother of the child, let's go." Ding Yougui saw Zhou Jiaxiang gesturing to him from not far away, uttered a harsh word, and pulled Hu Xinghua away.
A group of people followed and left with a "whoosh".
Ding Ermei breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought her older brother and sister-in-law were going to beat her and Bingxing to death today!
Thankfully, I just made a solemn oath and managed to fool my older brother and the others.
Ding Ermei's good mood lasted for less than two minutes. After returning to the room, she saw that things were in a mess, and Ding Ermei hurriedly rushed to the bedside.
The pillow was cut open, and the thousand yuan hidden inside disappeared.
"Oh my god! My money! My money!" Ding Ermei clutched her pillow, on the verge of tears.
As soon as Ding Yougui and Hu Xinghua left Zhoujia Village, they saw Zhou Jiaxiang standing by the roadside waving at them.
"Jiaxiang!" Ding Yougui told the group to leave first, while he stayed behind and waved to Zhou Jiaxiang.
“Grandpa!” Zhou Jiaxiang rushed over.
"Jiaxiang! Your mother is gone. From now on, you must be sensible and take good care of your two younger sisters." Ding Yougui patted Zhou Jiaxiang's head and said.
"Grandpa, my sister has my dad and grandma taking care of her! I'm going to earn more money in the future so I can eat and drink well every day," Zhou Jiaxiang said happily, looking up at his grandpa.
Zhou Jiaxiang's confidence has been soaring these past few days.
Last time, Zhou Jiaxiang was arrested and taken to the police station for stealing money. He thought he would be beaten when he got home, but Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing didn't care about him at all.
Cao Laoliu told Zhou Jiaxiang that even if a child as young as Zhou Jiaxiang were arrested, he would be released quickly, and there was no need to worry about what the police would do to him.
Zhou Jiaxiang decided to steal money again in the future.
Not tiring, and I still have money to spend.
"That's ambitious." Ding Yougui patted Zhou Jiaxiang's head and praised him before asking, "You just told Grandpa that you got the money, right?"
