After finishing their conversation, Cheng Yue and the others were also heading to the county town, so they took some grain and went down the mountain with the three sisters, intending to visit Wang Qiufen along the way.
The three sisters couldn't stop them, so they had no choice but to let Cheng Yue and the others take the grain to the Zhao family.
Wang Qiufen has a long scar on her face, running from under her eye to her cheek. Although she has applied medicine, half of her face is still swollen, and she can't speak very clearly.
Yesterday her face was covered in mud, so I didn't see how badly she was injured.
There was nothing Cheng Yue could do about the scars, so she could only offer a few words of comfort. Wang Qiufen, on the other hand, thanked Cheng Yue profusely.
She fainted yesterday and knew nothing. It was Wei Lanfen who told her that Cheng Yue had borrowed an oxcart and given the child clothes to wear.
After talking for a while, Cheng Yue was about to leave when Er Laizi's cursing voice came from the doorway.
"You damned woman, what bad luck I had to marry such a piece of trash! You can't give me a son, and now you're disfigured. You're just disgusting!"
"I'm definitely divorcing you! And those three worthless sluts, I'm going to sell them all for money!!"
He didn't care at all whether Wang Qiufen was alive or dead, so he went to bed early yesterday. But when he got up early this morning to go to the outhouse, he heard some villagers saying that Wang Qiufen had been disfigured. That was terrible.
He spent two taels of silver on the bride price back then, but now it's all gone to waste. Not only can he not have a son, but he's also disfigured!
He had originally planned to be merciful and give Wang Qiufen another chance once she recovered, and he wouldn't divorce her if she gave birth to a son. But now he realized it was unnecessary. He didn't want to look at a woman with a disfigured face!
Yesterday I wasted several dozen coins, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Luckily, I still have three little girls. Even if they're worthless, I can still get two taels of silver by selling them, so it's not a complete loss!
Wang Qiufen was lying in the room, and she trembled with anger when she heard this. However, she was unable to move and her face was swollen so she could not speak clearly. Otherwise, she would definitely have beaten and scolded him severely!
After this experience, she finally understood that she couldn't give Er Laizi a kind look at all. She had been used to being bullied, which was why she suffered this misfortune!
After comforting Wang Qiufen for a couple of minutes, Guo rushed out and yelled, "You scoundrel! You ungrateful beast!"
"If it weren't for your wife saving you, you'd probably be lying in the field by now. She's injured like this, how dare you say you want to divorce her!"
After all, Guo was an elder, and there were Zhao Changxi and Zhao Changyong in the family, neither of whom were easy to deal with, so he didn't dare to directly curse back, but only retorted:
“Aunt Guo, that’s not how it works. I’m her husband, she’s her everything. It’s only right that she saves me!”
Even if I lose my life, there's nothing to say. Once you marry into my family, you'll be a ghost of the Liu family even in death!
Besides, isn't she alive and well? Come to think of it, I'm the unlucky one. I'm disfigured. If I don't divorce her, am I supposed to look at that face every day?
"If she could give birth to a son, I wouldn't say anything, but now she's trying to cut off my family line!"
Guo pointed at Er Laizi's nose, her hands trembling with anger: "You are shameless! Divorcing your wife now is forcing her to die!"
Anyone with a modicum of conscience wouldn't do such a thing. His wife saved him, and he immediately turned around and wanted to divorce her?
Given Wang Qiufen's current situation, divorcing her would be more cruel than killing her.
Wei Lanfen stepped forward to help Guo Shi calm down, saying with disgust, "Mother, how can this kind of person be worthy of our anger? He dares to divorce his wife and see what happens! The village head will definitely punish him according to village regulations!"
Erlaizi choked. He was so angry that he forgot about the village head.
The last time he beat his wife and children, it alarmed his father-in-law's family. The village head warned him that he would not be spared for affecting the marriage prospects of young people in the village.
Yesterday, he even invoked the village rules, warning that if he failed to divorce his wife, he would be punished instead.
Er Laizi was furious and his words were even more vicious: "You worthless slut who can't bear a son! I can't divorce you, so I curse you to die soon!"
The sooner he dies, the sooner he'll make room for his new wife!
Cheng Yue looked at Wang Qiufen with concern. Women already had a low status in this era, and now she had a scar on her face and was being cursed by Er Laizi like that. She wondered if she could get through it.
Seeing Cheng Yue's expression, Wang Qiufen felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng Yue, don't worry, I'll be fine!"
Everyone has helped me so much, I can't let myself suffer. I will pull through for my three children!
She heard Er Laizi's words, and she was no longer as heartbroken as before. All she wanted was to get better quickly and kill this beast!
She wouldn't have married into the family if it weren't for her in-laws' honesty, given how much Er Laizi had pestered her.
Who knew that once her parents-in-law left, Erlaizi was left unchecked and became even more outrageous.
He's been using all the family's savings to go drinking, and now he talks about going to the gambling den every day. If anything goes wrong, he takes it out on her and the children.
She was blind to have gone to rescue him this time; she clearly knew what kind of person Er Laizi was all along!
Now that she had survived such a calamity, she would never suffer such mistreatment again. For the sake of her child, she had to persevere and teach Erlaizi a lesson so that he would not harm her daughter!
Cheng Yue nodded, "It's good that you understand. It's not worth it for such scum."
He patted Wang Qiufen's hand and walked out, feeling nauseous at the sight of Er Laizi's sleazy appearance with his hands in his pockets.
He mocked, "That's strange. Everyone else in the village can have a son, but you can't. Have you done too many immoral things? Or is there something wrong with your body?"
Wei Lanfen immediately chimed in, giving Er Laizi a once-over, and said disdainfully, "Oh! I see! So that's what happened. He's clearly the one with the problem, but he's blaming his wife. No wonder he's called Laizi!"
Calling him immoral is one thing, but saying he's physically weak is an insult. Er Laizi retorted angrily, "Bullshit! I'm perfectly healthy!"
If it weren't for Zhao Changxi and Chen An standing by, he would have loved to say that he would let them try sooner or later!
Especially Cheng Yue, she's become even more attractive since the family split up. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also very capable. It would be great if a woman like that could be with him!
Erlaizi swallowed hard. How come Chen An didn't die from the fall? Otherwise, he would have had a chance too.
Chen An's face darkened, and he picked up a pebble and threw it at Er Laizi. This beast dared to look at his wife like that!
"Ah!!" Er Laizi, who was indulging in his fantasies, felt a sharp pain on his face, and a bloody taste spread in his mouth.
Damn it, Chen An actually knocked out one of my teeth!
"You just wait!" Er Laizi glared at the crowd fiercely, and just as Zhao Changxi picked up the big stick, he immediately ran away.
When Erlaizi returned home, he was so eager to dig three feet into the ground that he finally found more than a hundred coins in the rat hole in the room.
Today he's going to the Chang Le gambling den. Once he's rich, who will dare to disobey him? He'll definitely take revenge on those who bully him!
