When the zombie virus broke out globally, Qiao An'an was using all her strength to lift the half-pig she had just bought onto the chopping board.
This is the third month that she has brought her daughter Yaya back to her hometown in the urban-rural fringe area to do live-streaming e-commerce.
She used to live in the city and had a loving family of three.
All happiness ended after Qiao An'an's mother-in-law moved into her house with her sister-in-law, who had a child out of wedlock.
The mother-in-law said she was not feeling well and could not take care of her sister-in-law during her postpartum period, so she suggested that Qiao An'an, who was not working and staying at home to take care of the baby, could conveniently take care of her sister-in-law.
Before having children, Qiao An'an's salary was higher than her husband's.
She wasn't unemployed; she had to quit her job because no one could help her take care of her child.
She had no objection to her mother-in-law taking care of her sister-in-law, but it was never her turn to do so. When she was in postpartum confinement, her mother-in-law didn't take care of her for even a single day.
However, Qiao An'an's husband, Song Chi, said all sorts of nice things: "My sister dropped out of school after junior high to work in order to support me to go to university. Now that I'm doing well, I can't abandon my sister, otherwise the villagers will say that I've forgotten my roots."
Qiao An'an and Song Chi were college classmates, and their relationship has remained strong over the years.
Seeing that Song Chi was pleading so earnestly, Qiao An'an acquiesced to letting her sister-in-law, Song Wei, move into their home.
But Qiao An'an also made it clear to Song Chi that she would only buy groceries and cook a meal, and would not care about anything else.
That day, Qiao An'an placed a plate of cooked chicken on the table, urging everyone to eat it while it was hot, before turning to the kitchen to cook other dishes.
Not long after I entered the kitchen, I heard Ya Ya's heart-wrenching cries.
Qiao An'an rushed out in a panic, only to see her mother-in-law, Wu Huifang, grabbing Ya Ya by the ear and scolding her: "You brat, how can you be so greedy? How could a worthless girl like you eat chicken legs?!"
Qiao An'an tolerated eating her food and living in her house.
Qiao An'an couldn't stand being insulted like that by her precious daughter.
Enraged, Qiao An'an rushed forward and overturned the table: "I bought the groceries and cooked the meal! What right do you have to say my daughter can't eat it? If my daughter can't eat it, none of you can eat it either!!!"
Song Chi, who was on the phone on the balcony, heard the noise and rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Wu Huifang collapsed to the ground and burst into tears: "My life is so miserable, to have such an unreasonable daughter-in-law..."
Song Wei joined in the commotion, saying sarcastically to Song Chi, "If you don't like me staying at your house, just say so. There's no need to make things so difficult for Mom. Mom is already so old, and to have her table overturned by her daughter-in-law—if word gets out, where will she put her face?!"
Song Chi blushed, and without even asking why Ya Ya was crying, he slapped Qiao An'an, accusing her of giving his mother a hard time: "How could you treat my mother like that?"
Domestic violence must be met with zero tolerance, and Qiao An'an wanted to fight back right then and there.
But Wu Huifang pushed her away: "You gave birth to a money-losing child and you still dare to act tough in my house. Divorce Xiao Chi right now and make room for Xiao Wei!"
Wu Huifang's words were like a thunderbolt, leaving Qiao An'an stunned for a long time: "What...what are you saying? How could Song Wei and Song Chi possibly get married?!"
Song Wei retorted, "I was adopted. I have no blood relation with Brother Chi. If Brother Chi hadn't insisted on marrying you, I would have been his wife long ago. Brother Chi is such an outstanding person, yet you're unwilling to give him a son. But it doesn't matter, I've already given birth to one for Brother Chi!!!"
After Qiao An'an gave birth to Ya Ya, her mother-in-law disliked that she had given birth to a girl and refused to come and take care of her during her postpartum period. Not only that, she also instigated Song Chi to make Qiao An'an get pregnant again as soon as she finished her postpartum period. At that time, Qiao An'an made it clear that if her mother-in-law was so sexist, she would never have a second child in her life. She did not want her Ya Ya to be looked down upon.
Song Chi took carrying on the family line very seriously and often tried to coax Qiao An'an into having a second child in various ways. Each time, Qiao An'an refused sternly. Then one day, Song Chi suddenly stopped mentioning having a second child.
Qiao An'an thought that Song Chi had finally come to his senses.
It turns out that it wasn't that; Song Wei was pregnant, and Song Chi no longer needed Qiao An'an to carry on the Song family line.
So Song Wei's child is Song Chi's!
Qiao An'an looked coldly at Song Chi: "You disgust me!!!"
Song Chi was clearly in the wrong in this matter, and he avoided looking at Qiao An'an: "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no descendants. I can't let the Song family line end with me..."
Cheating is cheating, why bring up filial piety!
Qiao An'an became increasingly angry as she listened.
He grabbed the scissors beside him and slashed at Song Chi.
Song Chi felt a chill in his lower body; blood was already flowing down his pants.
By the time Wu Huifang and Song Wei realized what was happening, Song Chi was already in so much pain that his voice was distorted: "Qiao An'an, you...you're crazy...?"
Wu Huifang wanted to berate Qiao An'an, but she couldn't utter a single word. Instead, she fainted from anger.
Song Wei rushed out of the room in lingering fear, shouting, "Help! Murder! Murder!!!"
...
Thanks to timely medical attention, Song Chi's penis was saved, but it certainly can't be used like before.
The police station issued Qiao An'an an "Administrative Penalty Decision" which stipulated ten days of detention and a fine of 200 yuan.
The Song family was outraged. Wu Huifang was the first to object: "She cut off my son's genitals, how come she was only fined 200? What about our losses?"
The police officer said helplessly, "This is your daughter-in-law, your son's wife. Even if we determine that she should compensate your son, isn't it still marital property?"
Wu Huifang said she doesn't care about differences between husband and wife: "My daughter-in-law is lazy and doesn't work, so my son earns all the money!"
The police officer patiently explained the law to Wu Huifang: "They are a legally married couple. Regardless of whether your daughter-in-law works or not, the money is jointly owned by both of them!"
Song Wei said angrily, "Then let Brother Chi divorce her, and after the divorce, we'll ask her for money. Not only will we ask her for money, but we'll also sue her for murder and make her rot in jail!!!"
The police officer kindly reminded her, "If you are convicted, your niece will also be affected in the future."
Wu Huifang said coldly, "She's just a little girl. We won't want her even if we get a divorce. As long as our eldest grandson isn't affected, that's fine!"
This family's moral depravity has shocked the police officers.
The police officer found Qiao An'an and said, "Our administrative penalty standard is a fine of 200 yuan plus ten days of criminal detention. However, the victim's family is emotional and has requested a medical examination. They also want to prosecute you for intentional homicide. We suggest that you go to the hospital to obtain a letter of forgiveness from the victim."
Qiao An'an will definitely go, but she won't go to ask for forgiveness!
