Shen Qianqian stood by the door watching the farce without saying a word. This was Yu Linxiu's family matter, and she couldn't interfere.
She has to solve it herself.
Yu Linxiu's gentle face was covered in bruises, which looked even worse with anger: "Are you my biological parents? Even Qianqian cares about me, but what about you! All you care about is whether Xu Guangzong will run away!"
"See these wounds!" She stood up, pointing to her wounds, tears streaming down her face, and screamed uncontrollably, "He hit me! He pinned me to the ground and pounded me repeatedly! If I hadn't protected my head, all you'd see now is a corpse!"
"Just you wait and see! Xu Guangzong has been arrested and thrown in jail. If I want him to, he won't be out for decades!"
"Smack!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Linxiu was slapped across the face.
Yu Linxiu was stunned.
Shen Qianqian was also taken aback.
Yu Jianshan, who had been silent until now, stood up, pointed at her, and angrily shouted, "You've got some nerve, haven't you? How dare you talk to your parents like that!"
"I don't care how he hits you, go apologize to him right now. You're dating someone now, even if he beats you to death, it's his right. Your father is still working for that other father, can't you be a little more sensible!"
Yu Linxiu covered her face, unable to believe it.
What do you mean by saying she deserved to be beaten to death?
She couldn't believe her own father was saying these words. She couldn't stay in this house any longer!
Yu Linxiu wiped away her tears and left, but Feng Xiang stopped her: "Don't go, wait! What's this about Shen Qianqian you just mentioned? Is she involved in this?"
Shen Qianqian raised an eyebrow. She walked over and pulled Feng Xiang's hand away.
"Auntie, I'm right here. I suggest you just ask me directly. Why make things difficult for your daughter?"
Yu Linxiu took the opportunity to shake off her mother's hand.
Feng Xiang's face changed drastically. She glared at Shen Qianqian and yelled at her daughter, "You idiot! You've been fooled without even realizing it! This woman has been jealous of your good marriage for a long time, and you still believe her? Is it because of her that you angered Xu Guangzong? How could I have given birth to such an idiot!"
Yu Linxiu never imagined that her parents could be so shameless.
She came back injured, and they didn't care about her at all. They kept blaming her and even told her to forgive Xu Guangzong. Now they're blaming Qianqian.
Yu Linxiu shook her head: "You two are beyond saving!"
Seeing his unrepentant attitude and noticing Shen Qianqian standing by watching the show, Feng Xiang was furious and slapped Shen Qianqian across the face.
Yu Linxiu quickly blocked the slap and took it.
After being hit twice in a row, her face was numb.
Shen Qianqian didn't expect Yu Linxiu to move so quickly. In fact, she was already prepared to dodge and also kick Feng Xiang.
He quickly steadied her and shielded her behind him.
Ugh, I should have gone back to my room to get the axe first. Having an axe makes things easier.
While feeling regretful, Shen Qianqian picked up the chicken feathers in the room and grinned at Feng Xiang and Yu Jianshan.
"Are you two really determined to sell your daughter for personal gain? Your older cousin has been beaten like this, and you..."
They actually wanted to send her into the lion's den. Since you're so envious of this, why don't you go yourselves, Auntie? Especially you, you're still charming even in your middle age, who knows, Xu Guangzong might just like you?"
Feng Xiang was dumbfounded. What... what kind of talk is this?!
"As for my eldest uncle, he's of average talent. Maybe he can be Xu Guangzong's father's underling and flatter him a bit. Sooner or later he'll be able to eat Xu family food."
Shen Qianqian became increasingly excited, even clapping her hands. "You beast!"
"You...you're going to kill me!"
New and old grudges surged up, and the two could no longer hold back. They even tried to gang up on her from the front and the back.
Shen Qianqian sneered, full of disdain, and took the feather duster, slapping the two of them so hard they jumped up and down in the room.
"I told you not to fight me, did you think I was a pushover? Just think about the miserable state Yu Linsen was in lying on the bed before!"
Shen Qianqian's eyes held a threat: "Stop thinking about selling your daughters for personal gain. Xu Guangzhong is finished. He's been having all sorts of affairs and beating women. He won't be out of jail for at least twenty or thirty years unless the policies become more lenient in the future."
"If you're determined to send your daughter in exchange for benefits, that's fine, but let me make this clear: the Xu family is finished. Everyone knows about Xu Guangzong's beating, and it will spread throughout Nan County in less than two days."
"Think about your son. If anyone at school knew he had a brother-in-law who had been to the police station, what would others think of him? Besides, if your son doesn't get into university, he'll have to get married in a couple of years, right? Tell me, which city girl would be interested in him?"
It has to be said that Shen Qianqian's words really intimidated Yu Jianshan and Feng Xiang. The two of them no longer stopped them from leaving. In fact, as soon as they stepped out, the two of them couldn't wait to close the door and talk to each other inside.
Shen Qianqian took Yu Linxiu directly back to her room and gave her two chocolates.
"It's sweet. Have some. It'll make you feel better."
When Yu Linxiu entered this small room for the first time, she saw the familiar blankets on the bed and the familiar...
The familiar table paused for a moment.
"This is?""
Shen Qianqian remained calm: "This is what I got back from my cousin; he owes me this."
Yu Linxiu nodded after watching for a while, then brought up another topic: "That's great, I'm quite envious of you. I was really happy to see my parents being rendered speechless by what you said."
"I don't understand why it's like I've committed some terrible mistake just because I rejected Xu Guangzong... I also want to be like you."
Shen Qianqian peeled off the paper and ate a chocolate. The rich red wine flavor filled her mouth. She nodded and said, "Actually, the method is very simple. You just need to be good to yourself and be ruthless to them."
Yu Linxiu seemed to understand something, and then said that she understood.
That evening, when Old Madam Fang learned of this, she looked at Yu Linxiu's wound and thought she was more human than Yu Jianshan and Feng Xiang. After hesitating for a while, she advised Yu Linxiu to forgive Xu Guangzong and to know when to stop, so that she could take advantage of the situation and marry into the Xu family again.
Yu Linxiu remained silent. Yu Jianshan and Feng Xiang seemed to be swayed by Shen Qianqian's words, or perhaps they were observing and hesitating, but ultimately they did not pressure Yu Linxiu any further.
··
The news quickly reached the neighbors.
"Hua Mei, I heard something from my nephew's son's daughter in the county. Your granddaughter Lin Xiu was dating someone from the county town, right? I heard that guy was having affairs and even assaulting women. He's been arrested now!"
"Sigh, you can find another good son-in-law, but you can't keep a man who hits women!"
"Yeah yeah····…"
Grandma Fang was furious when she heard this and stormed home.
He then launched into a tirade against Yu Linxiu.
"You're a woman, what's wrong with being hit a couple of times? Can't you just bear it!" Yu Linxiu suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Old Lady Fang!
