The next morning, Lu Huitian got up before dawn to make breakfast for the family.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu got up in a hurry, ate breakfast, and then rode their bicycles back to the city to go to work.
Song Yun and Zhuang Xiaoxiao got up not long after, their eyes red and swollen.
Grandpa Song said, "Your mother doesn't know about this yet, so be careful what you say when you get back."
Song Yun nodded, "Dad, don't worry."
Song Zhiping said, "Dad, how about I take you home later?"
Grandpa Song waved his hand, "I'm not unable to walk, you go do your work."
Zhuang Xiaoxiao was munching on a steamed bun, feeling annoyed. She should have hit Zhuang Pinghua a few more times yesterday!
I still feel angry when I think about it now.
After breakfast, Grandpa Song left with Song Yun and Zhuang Xiaoxiao.
Grandma Song didn't sleep well at all last night.
Yesterday afternoon, the village chief said he had something to do, and Grandpa Song said it was because Zhuang Pinghua was unwell and he had to go see her. He told Grandma Song not to worry. How could Grandma Song know that her daughter almost died?
Three figures appeared in the distance at the edge of the horizon.
Grandma Song was startled and quickly went to greet her.
"What happened, Xiaoyun? What happened to you? How did you get hurt?" Grandma Song looked anxious when she saw the bandages on Song Yun's face and hands.
More bags and packages of luggage.
Song Yun couldn't utter a single word before tears streamed down her face.
"mom."
Grandma Song slapped her thigh, her eyes red, "Did that bastard Zhuang Pinghua hit you?!"
Old Master Song frowned. "Let's go inside and talk."
Grandma Song was extremely anxious and urged Grandpa Song to speak quickly.
Old Master Song had no choice but to offer a brief explanation.
"Yesterday, Zhuang Pinghua brought a woman home, and Xiaoxiao saw it. Xiaoyun came home and argued with her. From now on, Xiaoyun and Xiaoxiao will live at home and are preparing to divorce Zhuang Pinghua."
Grandma Song was furious when she heard this.
“That sickly Zhuang Pinghua is being supported by you, and he still has the nerve to cause trouble and even dare to hit people! My daughter, why is your life so miserable…” When Grandma Song saw the injury on Song Yun’s head, the sky seemed to collapse.
Song Yun is known for her tolerant nature. For Zhuang Pinghua to make her argue and leave home, it shows how outrageous he must have been!
"That's not all! What else did Zhuang Pinghua do!"
Zhuang Xiaoxiao blurted it all out: "Grandma, he still wanted the money you gave Mom, so I took it all back!"
Grandma Song's face turned red with anger. "Damn it, Zhuang Pinghua is a dead man! How dare he cause trouble? I'm going to chop that beast up right now!"
Song Yun has sacrificed so much for this family over the years!
She's not even forty yet, but she looks older than her sister-in-law. It's all because she works so hard in the fields!
Zhuang Pinghua can't see Song Yun's good qualities and still bullies her like this. Does he really think the Song family has no one left?!
Old Master Song stopped her, "Don't rush. We dealt with Zhuang Pinghua yesterday, now we're just waiting for the divorce."
Song Yun cried, "Mom, I've been a burden to you."
Grandma Song slapped her thigh again, hugged Song Yun and cried, "It was Zhuang Pinghua who did something disgusting, what's it to you!"
Zhuang Xiaoxiao also burst into tears.
Grandpa Song sighed, "Alright, I'll go cook. You tidy up Xiaoyun and Xiaoxiao's room."
There are several empty rooms in the house; no one has lived there for a long time, and they're all covered in dust.
Zhuang Xiaoxiao moved into the room that Song Anmin had previously stayed in; it was the brightest room and had a desk where she could read.
After lunch, Grandpa Song told Grandma Song to take good care of Song Yun and Zhuang Xiaoxiao, as he was going out to work.
Grandma Song didn't think much of it; she was too preoccupied with feeling sorry for her daughter. Last night, she was worried that Zhuang Pinghua might be too ill to make it through!
Damn it, how come Zhuang Pinghua isn't dead yet!
Grandpa Song took his small sickle and went out.
Zhuang Pinghua is now the only one left in the Zhuang family. Everyone in the village knows about Zhuang Pinghua's scandalous affairs, but who exactly is that woman?
Some families in the village consist only of women, as the men have gone to work in the city.
The widows and single women in the village kept clarifying the situation.
"That's not me! I was working in the fields yesterday!"
"Everyone in the village praises Song Yun, and no one has the face to mess around with Zhuang Pinghua."
"Exactly, who would want Zhuang Pinghua? He's a sickly guy."
...
Zhuang Pinghua left the village with a dark expression.
The women behind them then asked, "Did he go to see that woman?"
"Looks like they're from another village."
"Did you see that woman yesterday? Who is she?!"
Anyway, I didn't see it.
After leaving the village, Zhuang Pinghua went to the town. He first went to the town's health center to treat the injuries on his head and feet.
The Song family had a knack for beating people; they would target fleshy areas, causing excruciating pain without leaving any wounds.
This left Zhuang Pinghua unable to call the police.
Yesterday, Song Yun packed her bags and took all the money from the house. Fortunately, Zhuang Pinghua still had some money left from selling vegetables.
After leaving the health center, Zhuang Pinghua went to the market where he usually sold vegetables.
Once inside the market, he turned east and west and ended up in an alley.
Once you exit the alley, there are several single-story houses on both sides, facing out to the fields.
Old Master Song only saw Zhuang Pinghua enter one of the bungalows, and he went around to the back via a small path.
Look inside through the railing by the window.
Zhuang Pinghua was seen embracing a woman.
"My God, how did they beat you up like this! Your wife is so cruel!"
"Their whole family is heartless, and now they want a divorce!"
"Then what should we do? Do you really want a divorce?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. You didn't see anyone when you came out yesterday, did you?"
