The clanging sounds of fighting and the screams of being beaten attracted the neighbors to watch.
They walked to the door and peeked in, and saw Mingsen lying miserably on the ground, while the Chen family members were standing there. They knew that their future son-in-law had been beaten.
Because Chen Wei rushed to the shower early, he was hit twice on the face. Although it was not serious, it left a bruise. Now, his face is full of sweetness under the hot compress of Xiang Meimei's egg.
Eggs are supplementary food prepared for his son Chen Zhong, but now they have another use, allowing the father to show off his love to everyone.
The neighbors who saw this scene wanted to poke their eyes out so as not to see Chen Wei's lewd expression.
However, the neighbors knew about the last time Chen Sanni ran back to her parents' home crying, and they were persuaded to stop. It was no surprise that the Chen family beat Mingsen this time.
At that time, because they were present, the Chen family endured their anger in their hearts for the sake of face. Any conflict in the future would become a fuse, and the son-in-law would be beaten.
As expected, isn’t he being beaten now?
The neighbors were not surprised, as they were mentally prepared. They just lamented that Chen Sanni's married life was once enviable, but now it seemed just so-so.
Men are completely different before and after marriage. Even if they pretend, they can't pretend for long. The neighbors whose daughters are about to get married sighed with sympathy.
Mingsen was once recognized as a good son-in-law in the match factory, but now his reputation has suddenly collapsed and his reputation is even worse than those sons-in-law who had a bad reputation from the beginning.
After all, if you are a good person all your life and then do one bad thing, your true nature is exposed and you will be despised. If you are a bad person all your life and then do one good thing, it is like a prodigal son returning home and you will be admired.
It would be better for them to be like an ordinary couple from the beginning, rather than Mingsen pretending to be good and then being exposed.
The Chinese people believe that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, so while the neighbors came to eat melons, they also acted as peacemakers.
They helped Mingsen up from the ground and began to persuade the Chen family:
"Oh, forget it, forget it, everyone, please talk nicely, why are you fighting?"
"Yes, a son-in-law is half a son. How could you, old man of the Chen family, beat up your son like this? How are you and your wife going to live in the future?"
"If you have anything to discuss, please discuss it properly. You can't hit people. What's the reason this time?"
After being beaten, Mingsen finally came to his senses and was unwilling to tell the truth.
What did he say? Was he threatening to beat up his brother-in-law and sister-in-law if they didn't sell him their family's house? Or was he saying he'd been married for over three years and didn't have enough money to buy a house, so he had to borrow from his father-in-law?
Mingsen couldn't afford to lose face.
The Chen family also did not want to publicize that the Xiang family had fifteen houses. The son-in-law was beaten this time because he wanted to buy a house. If this were to be made public, it would cause too much trouble.
By then, the in-laws will have no peace of mind at all.
So he just made up the excuse that Chen Sanni was beaten last time. The two younger brothers were not convinced and vented their anger by beating up their brother-in-law.
Seeing that Mingsen, who was beaten, refused to talk about the reason for the beating, the neighbors tacitly accepted this statement. They didn't want to watch the good show, so they persuaded the Chen family and then dispersed.
After everyone left, Chen Wei prepared to go home with his wife and children, saying viciously: "Mingsen, just wait for me. You dare to bully my wife? This matter will not end!"
He holds Xiang Meimei in his hands, and Xiang Meimei also reciprocates his kindness with sincerity. The couple has a very good relationship.
Mingsen is a simple-minded but treacherous person. He is just pretending to be a loving wife, but his true colors will be exposed sooner or later.
Chen Wei and his wife are different. They each have their own responsibilities in life and are considerate of each other emotionally. They do not force themselves to do all the work, but are truly happy.
Chen Wei couldn't vent his anger at beating Mingsen up this time because he wanted to hit Meimei. Wouldn't he be worthy of his position if he didn't try to trip him up?
So no matter how much Mingsen begged for mercy, his job was the hardest and most tiring.
When people are tired from work, their tempers become even worse when they get home. They don't have the energy to do all the housework themselves as they used to, and they have constant friction with Chen Sanni.
By the time Chen Erni brought her daughter back to the city, Chen Sanni had been separated from Mingsen for two months due to trivial matters.
Recalling the sweetness of their honeymoon, when her husband took care of all the housework and was envied by everyone, and then thinking about the ugly face that her husband had gradually revealed in recent years, Chen Sanni was in tears.
She hated it. Since she had been pretending for two years, why couldn't she pretend for the rest of her life?
When her sister asked her so tenderly how she and Mingsen were living, Chen Sanni couldn't stop crying: "Second sister, I want to divorce him!"
In fact, she had this idea a long time ago, but the divorced couples in the county were gossiped about countless times by people around them, which scared Chen Sanni.
She was always timid, hoping that her husband would change his ways. Even if she was beaten, Chen Sanni still held on to hope.
No matter how love-sick she is, she will wake up after being beaten once and realize that her husband does not love her that much and is just worried about the bad reputation of getting a divorce.
Chen Erni knew her sister's inner struggles. She put her daughter down and hugged her sister distressedly: "It's better not to have a man like this. I support your divorce."
In addition to being busy with work these days, Chen Erni also got to know what kind of person her third brother-in-law is through conversations at home.
He is a snob. When he sees Chen Wei getting promoted, he starts to flatter Chen Sanni. He is a bully. When he fails to get a promotion, he beats his wife to vent his anger. He has ulterior motives. He is jealous of his brother-in-law's family's houses and wants to get two for nothing. How shameless is he?
What's the point of keeping this kind of scumbag around? Do you think the family relationship is good and you want to sow discord among them?
After hearing this, Chen Sanni's tone became less resolute: "But if we get divorced, what will happen if our family's reputation for marriage is ruined?"
