All eyes turned back to the Wu family.
At this moment, in the Wu family courtyard.
The place was packed with people of all ages.
It's obvious.
Eight sons, eight daughters-in-law, plus grandchildren.
Dozens of people.
Old Wu found a doctor.
After the doctor was treated, a disagreement arose regarding the consultation fee.
Old Man Wu was unwilling to come out, and Old Woman Wu pretended to be dead and refused to come out.
Wu the eldest had no money, so the remaining brothers in the Wu family all looked out for him.
In short, this person wasn't invited by us.
Whoever invites them pays.
Wu Liren had no money, so he had to ask his wife for it.
He knew that the children in the family knew a little about herbs, and sometimes they would go up the mountain to dig some up and take them to town to sell for money.
This was all done secretly; the children brought the herbs back by mixing them with the pig feed.
So none of my family members knew.
Lin Mei, of course, refused to give it to him.
“Where would I get money? Isn’t all the money in our family held by the old lady?”
I don't even have enough money to buy a box of matches!
Lin Mei is also tough.
This time, I'm not giving it to them no matter what.
A few days ago, someone came to propose marriage for her eldest daughter.
Is that a marriage proposal?
That means selling livestock.
They're practically ready to weigh it by the pound!
She's a perfectly healthy 20-year-old young woman, and she's going to marry a mentally challenged man.
Just because they can offer a dowry of 1,000 yuan.
They even said that this was for the good of their eldest daughter, and that she was already twenty and an old maid, so it was good enough that someone wanted her!
Bah! The reason why her eldest daughter is still unmarried at twenty is because this old hag won't let her go.
Da Ya should stay home and work for a few more years.
Now things are complicated; her eldest grandson is getting married and she needs money.
I'm thinking of using her eldest daughter.
Don't even think about it.
She has five daughters; these two old bastards probably already had them all planned out.
He sold his daughter so he could find a wife for his eldest grandson.
She had heard that they wanted five hundred yuan!
If we don't sell her daughter, where will we get the dowry?
Did you sell those two old geezers?
If she were to find someone decent to marry, she wouldn't say anything.
She found someone who is not only mentally challenged, but also divorced.
I heard that he was the first one to be killed.
She gave her family a lot of money, but didn't take care of her at all.
Ha, country girls are worthless.
Now they've set their sights on her daughter.
Bah! They're blind as idiots!
Wu Liren never expected Lin Mei to rebel against him.
She looked slightly embarrassed and annoyed, especially in front of her younger brothers.
He raised his fist and got into a fighting stance: "Are you going to give me the money or not? If not, I'll hit you!"
Lin Mei felt she had had enough of this life.
Fortunately, she still has her family backing her up and they are willing to accept them.
Let's make a scene then. If we succeed, we'll separate; if not, we'll get a divorce.
In any case, no one should interfere with her daughter's marriage.
“Where would I get the money? All the money in our family belongs to the old lady.”
When did you give it to me?
Look everyone, this old lady went to see a doctor, but she didn't pay for it herself; she made the person who ran the errand pay for it.
We don't have any money. I've been wearing these clothes for almost twenty years.
None of my daughters have ever worn new clothes.
Look at the second brother and the others, they all have new clothes.
We are the ones raising the pigs and chickens, and we are also the ones preventing them from eating at the table.
They don't treat us like family anymore!
They even want to sell my eldest daughter for money!
That man was an idiot, and he had been married before. The one in front was the one he beat to death!
Fellow villagers, come and be my judge!
The Wu family isn't leaving us any way to survive! We can't live like this anymore!
When Wu Liren heard his wife wailing like that, he lost all face.
The younger brothers were also angry.
Why does this woman tell everyone everything?
Besides, we're all family, why be so petty?
"Brother, are you just going to stand by and watch your sister-in-law smear our family like this?!"
Wu Lao Er's fists hardened!
If it weren't for his sister-in-law, he would have attacked her directly!
He's an educated man; he only beats his own wife.
"That's right, brother. They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public, so just watch it!"
If you don't beat your sister-in-law, you can't get off the bed. I look down on you!
"Big brother, you're the head of the family!"
Hurry up and start hitting them!
As the younger brother, I could only offer a gentle reminder.
Granny Wu didn't care about any of that.
"Boss, slap her, slap her face."
Hearing his brother and mother's words, Wu Liren became emotional and, with a hint of restraint on his face, slapped Lin Mei.
"Why can't you learn to respect your elders!"
The slap was delivered with full force, and Lin Mei was badly hurt.
He fell directly to the ground.
With a spit, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which included a tooth.
When the daughters saw this, they all ran to their mother's side.
She looked at her father with hatred in her eyes.
The onlookers also felt that things had escalated and tried to dissuade him.
"Big brother, you can't hit people! My sister-in-law has always been a very good wife all these years!"
"Nephew, we can't hit people! We've always said that men and women are equal, we can't resort to violence!"
"Let's talk this out! You can't resort to violence! We've known each other for so many years, you can't do this!"
While they verbally offered words of reconciliation, they all secretly looked down on Wu Liren.
He only hits his wife; he's a bully at home!
