At Li Hongwei's house, every time Duan Nianzhen stayed overnight, the two of them would stay up until the wee hours of the morning. Zhai Qiaoyun had already cleaned up the storeroom a while ago.
It was impossible for her to openly watch the two of them making love; she was afraid she'd get a sty.
So whenever Duan Nianzhen stayed here, Zhai Qiaoyun would stay in the storeroom. At first, Li Hongwei tried to stop her.
But as Zhai Qiaoyun has become increasingly slovenly and unattractive lately, Li Hongwei has stopped caring so much.
Since he already had Duan Nianzhen, he basically didn't need Zhai Qiaoyun, and Zhai Qiaoyun's behavior was intentional.
Ever since Li Hongwei and Duan Nianzhen got together, Zhai Qiaoyun has been very resistant to Li Hongwei's advances.
At first, she couldn't refuse, so she could only suppress her disgust and compromise.
Later, she deliberately made herself look dirty, and with Duan Nianzhen becoming increasingly attached to Li Hongwei, Zhai Qiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Dahua and Li Guihua helped Zhai Qiaoyun walk back. Just as they reached the door, they heard moaning and groaning coming from inside.
Both of them were seasoned veterans, and they immediately exchanged a glance, thinking, "Something's up!" Their ears perked up.
Zhai Qiaoyun pretended to be very weak, inadvertently revealing the bruises on her body.
The injury on her lower back was from when she accidentally fell and bumped her head on the corner of the table yesterday. But since she didn't say anything, no one knew whether Li Hongwei hit her or she bumped into it herself.
Liu Dahua, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the bruises on Zhai Qiaoyun's lower back.
"Oh my, Zhai Zhiqing, what happened to your lower back?"
"Auntie Big Flower..."
Before she could even speak, tears welled up in her eyes. Zhai Qiaoyun's aggrieved appearance instantly triggered a lot of imagination in Liu Dahua's mind.
"Well, Li Hongwei not only cheats on his wife, but he also beats her!"
As she spoke, an angry Liu Dahua pushed open the door, catching the two people on the kang (a heated brick bed) inside off guard.
In a panic, it took her a while to come to her senses and start getting dressed.
"Well, in broad daylight, you two are actually having an affair! And since the commune leaders are all here, let's see what you do today!"
After Liu Dahua finished shouting, she said to Li Guihua:
"Aunt Guihua, you stay here and watch over this adulterous couple. I'm going to call the leader over!"
"Da Hua...you.."
Li Guihua wanted to stop her, not wanting Liu Dahua to escalate the situation, but unfortunately, Liu Dahua, in her anger, didn't give her a chance.
The reason Liu Dahua was so angry was because of her daughter, Zheng Chunlian.
At first, everyone in the village thought Zheng Chunlian had found a good husband, as he was a worker and his family lived in the city.
But who would have thought that such a refined and cultured man was actually a sadist?
After getting married, Zheng Chunlian never returned to her parents' home. At first, Liu Dahua thought that her husband's family looked down on them, these peasants, for coming to live with them.
So it wasn't good to go to the city to bother them. Who would have thought that it was their daughter who was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed every few days?
Finally, one day, Zheng Chunlian was beaten so badly that she bled profusely and had to go to the hospital. It just so happened that some villagers went to see a doctor, and that's when they received the news.
Seeing her daughter lying motionless on the bed, breathing weakly and covered in wounds, broke Liu Dahua's heart.
After waking up, Zheng Chunlian learned that she had suffered severe bleeding and was unable to have children, which drove her to the brink of madness.
Liu Dahua wanted to persuade Zheng Chunlian to divorce her husband and return home, but Zheng Chunlian refused. As a mother, she couldn't argue with her daughter, so in the end, she had no choice but to let Zheng Chunlian go back to her husband's family.
Zheng Chunlian thought that after Liu Dahua's warning, she would no longer be beaten, but unexpectedly, the other party did not take Zheng's family or Liu Dahua seriously at all.
Having lost her fertility and being abused by her husband, Zheng Chunlian, in a final act of desperation, stabbed her husband to death with a knife, severely injured her mother-in-law who was watching the commotion, and then committed suicide.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Songzhan Commune at the time. Since then, not only Songzhan Commune, but also surrounding counties and cities have strengthened the protection of women and prohibited domestic violence.
Unfortunately, her silly daughter could never come back, which became a source of great sorrow for Liu Dahua, causing her immense grief every time she mentioned it.
Now that she has met Zhai Qiaoyun, who has had the same experience as her daughter, Liu Dahua suddenly erupted.
With Liu Dahua gone, things were in serious trouble. Li Hongwei glared angrily at Zhai Qiaoyun.
"Why did you bring them back! Did you do this on purpose?!"
"Hongwei... How could you say that? You two... How could you do this to me!"
As Zhai Qiaoyun spoke, she appeared to be about to faint. Li Guihua, naturally unable to stand by and watch her being bullied, stepped forward to support her and then said to Li Hongwei:
"Li Hongwei, how dare you say such a thing? Zhai Zhiqing is a perfectly good young woman who married a good-for-nothing like you."
You didn't cherish her, not only did you cheat on her, but you also committed domestic violence. Just you wait, see what the brigade leader says about you. You two are a pair of scoundrels, you'll be paraded through the streets!
"I...I...I didn't commit domestic violence!"
Li Guihua's words stirred up Li Hongwei's fear. Despite his usual tendency to provoke others, he was always cautious, afraid of being caught doing something wrong.
It's just that I've gotten a little arrogant lately from being with Duan Nianzhen, and since I feel like I'm at home, I've been a bit unrestrained.
I never expected that I would be tricked by that bitch Zhai Qiaoyun.
Now that things have come to this, what is there not to understand? If Zhai Qiaoyun hadn't done it on purpose, why would she have brought someone home?
Duan Nianzhen, who was standing next to her, was trembling under the covers. She never expected things to turn out this way.
Thinking about what was about to happen, she wished she could disappear into the ground. Once this was exposed, how could she ever face anyone again!
Overwhelmed with regret, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses! How could she have been fooled by that good-for-nothing Li Hongwei, leading to this situation...?
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
Duan Nianzhen cried uncontrollably, terrified. Hearing her sobs only fueled Li Hongwei's frustration.
"Shut up, stop crying, and get dressed!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Nianzhen realized what was happening. Seeing that Li Hongwei was already dressed, she quickly got to work as well.
Li Guihua did not stop the two of them. Although she was gossipy, she did not want to get a sty. White flesh was not as good-looking as pork, so what was there to see!
