Chapter 58 Do you know what it feels like to entrust someone with the wrong person?
"stop!"
"Second sister-in-law, get out of the way!"
At the same time, screams were heard and things were shattered all over the floor. The frightened Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu ran over in a panic to pull people away.
But they were still too late.
He grabbed the kettle on the table and smashed it hard on Aunt Xu's head. The coarse pottery fragments were scattered all over the floor, and all he could see was blood.
Aunt Xu's head was buzzing. She touched her palm with trembling hands and found that it was filled with warm blood.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please get up first!"
Xu Wenxiu mustered up her courage and rushed over to help the woman up. She said to the stunned old lady, "She must not be tortured with all these injuries. If she continues, she will die!"
Aunt Xu San also said with a dark face, "What the eldest sister-in-law said is right. Second brother looks like he's gone mad. If we continue to stalemate, we won't be able to explain it. Why don't we help the second sister-in-law downstairs and treat her injuries first? How can a wife who is married to the emperor be subjected to such humiliation and torture?"
After all, they all married from outside the country, and seeing one person hurt is bound to make many others sad.
If Second Aunt Xu was really tortured to death today, that would be the first joke of the Xu family since their downfall!
The old lady realized it later and said, "Send the person back quickly, go!"
Aunt Xu, who seemed to have lost her soul, was carried away like a walking corpse. The old man stood up at some point with eyes as sharp as knives.
"You ignorant beast!"
He slapped Second Uncle Xu in the face, but Second Uncle Xu still held his neck high and shouted, "Old man, you are biased!"
"The only people you care about are the eldest family! When have I ever been anything but a beast in your eyes?!"
"Stop talking!"
"So what if I said it?! If you have the guts, just beat me to death! Beating me to death will save you from losing face, and it will also save me..."
"Wow!"
"Father!"
Uncle Xu looked in horror at the old man who suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and shouted in panic: "Father is coughing up blood!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"grandfather?"
Sang Zhixia rushed over upon hearing the sound.
She knew something was going to happen!
Sang Zhixia rushed into the main hall with a half-full bucket of water. Without hesitation, she poured the cold water towards the still frantic Second Uncle Xu: "If you keep making trouble, I'll knock you unconscious with another bucket!"
The cold water splashed all over Uncle Xu, causing the old lady to scream.
Sang Zhixia didn't even look at them, she ran over and said, "Uncle San, don't panic."
Together with Uncle Xu, whose limbs were weak, she helped the unconscious old man to lie down on the bed and quickly said a location: "Grandfather is so angry that he can't bear it for a while. There is a doctor in the next village. Uncle, go and get him now!"
Uncle Xu rushed out in a panic against the wind and snow.
Uncle Xu also managed to regain some consciousness from his chattering teeth.
Sang Zhixia grabbed the quilt and pressed it against the old man's face, which was covered in bruises. She turned around and said angrily, "Grandma! If Grandpa gets angry at Second Uncle today, it will be a sin that he will never be able to wash away!"
"Why don't you get him away quickly?!"
Is it really necessary to piss the old man off to death for this to count?!
The old lady was shocked by her shouting, and without caring about seniority, she raised her hand and slapped Uncle Xu in the face.
"You evil creature! Go back to your own room!"
Uncle Xu left with a gloomy face, and the people in the west room quickly came back.
Aunt Xu said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, will anything happen if this continues?"
There were two people in the room, one with blood all over his head and the other drunk like a madman. If they were left alone together, what if...
Xu Wenxiu was worried about the old man who had fainted. She sighed with a bitter face, "I don't know what to do."
"Let's wait until the old man gets better."
But before Uncle Xu could call the doctor, Xu Mingyang's terrified cries broke out from the west room.
Sang Zhixia's heart skipped a beat, and when she rushed out, she saw the back of Aunt Xu rushing out in the wind and snow.
She didn't have time to stop him. In Uncle Xu's impotent rage, Xu Mingyang collapsed and chased after him crying.
"Oh no."
"If Second Aunt and Mingyang rush out like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen. Mother-in-law, you and Third Aunt stay home and watch them. I'll go out and take a look!"
Sang Zhixia ran after him. Xu Wenxiu was at a loss and shouted in panic, "Xia Xia!"
"Xia Xia, you must be careful!"
"Xia Xia you..."
"Sister-in-law, stop yelling!"
Aunt Xu tried to stay calm and said, "This matter is not going to end well. Sister-in-law, please look after the children. I'm going to the village chief's house to call Xu Yu and Xu Minghui back!"
In the blink of an eye, most of the decision-makers in the family had left.
Xu Wenxiu held the frightened Xu Jinxi's hand and bit her lip secretly: What the hell is going on?
Under the cover of night, the wind and snow were so strong that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
Sang Zhixia grabbed Xu Mingyang, who kept slipping in the snow, and helped him to stand steady. She saw Aunt Xu standing by the river, who was so anxious that she was exhausted.
Xu Mingyang cried in fear: "Mom, Mom, don't scare me... Mom..."
"Mom, please come back soon..."
Aunt Xu looked back with a dazed look, and looked at her little son standing not far away, smiling with a sad look in her eyes.
Compared to when she was sent back to the west room, there were more knife marks on her shoulders and arms. Although she was wearing a linen-colored dress, it was stained with blood from her body.
Uncle Xu went back and beat her again.
He even resorted to knife-wielding cruelty.
Sang Zhixia's throat suddenly became blocked, and she tried to lower her voice and said, "Second Aunt, if you have anything to say, we can go back and talk it over. We don't have to be like this."
"Come here first, and when you go back..."
"I can't go back... Xia Xia, I can't go back..."
“I can’t go back…”
She couldn't bear it any longer.
You can ignore the glory that disappears overnight, and you can endure the hard work of doing your own food, clothing, housing and transportation in silence with complaints, but what about the torture from the person next to you after nightfall?
It wasn't like this before...
With a desolate look on her face, she lifted her sleeves and looked at the shocking scars all over her body. She said, "He has been beating me all the time, since I started chopping wood and making charcoal. For more than 90 days and nights in three months, he would beat me whenever he had the chance."
"I've been enduring for a long time... I've been enduring..."
She thought about the years of marriage and the love between them and their children, and thought that maybe they would have something else to look forward to as time went by, but what was the reality?
Her husband, who had tried to be understanding, had picked up a hatchet today, slashing at her flesh and blood, threatening to kill her...
She looked at the festering wound she had hidden beneath her clothes and said bitterly, "Do you know what it feels like to trust the wrong person?"
"You wouldn't know."
You don’t know how much I envy you in my heart even though I am your elder.
You don't know what it feels like to be tortured.
She squeezed out a broken sneer in despair, lowered her head and said, "I don't want to live anymore..."
"I really can't bear it anymore..."
She walked closer to the river step by step under Sang Zhixia's panicked gaze. Sang Zhixia subconsciously covered Xu Mingyang's eyes: "Turn around!"
Xu Mingyang frantically scratched her shielding hand and cried heartbreakingly, "Mom!"
"I want my mother!"
"Let me go! I want my mother back!"
"Shut up, little brat!"
Sang Zhixia hurriedly took off her heavy jacket with one hand and threw it on the ground, letting Xu Mingyang bite her palm until it was bloody. She said angrily, "If you make such a fuss, you'll never come back!"
Seeing that Xu Mingyang was making such a fuss, she couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him in the face: "Just wait here obediently!"
Xu Mingyang was stunned. He widened his eyes in panic and reached out helplessly, but he didn't have time to grab the corner of Sang Zhixia's clothes as she jumped into the water.
