In July, I went into the kitchen and saw Ximei sitting alone by the stove, wiping away her tears.
She had always been the undisputed head of the household, never imagining that one day she would be beaten like this by her husband.
Xi Mei felt hopeless just thinking about the future.
If Chun Gui hits himself today, he must have gone all out.
Xi Mei felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it, but what could she do?
Since I've married into this family, there's no way I could get a divorce.
Given Chun Gui's methods, if I dared to mention divorce, I'd probably beat her to death.
Xi Mei stood there sobbing, covering her face. Just then, Qi Yue stood in front of her.
"Don't cry. If you cry like this, it will only hurt your loved ones and please your enemies. Besides, you have your family backing you up. Don't be afraid of my father."
Anyone can sow discord; these two are already at odds anyway.
Ideally, people's brains should be smashed into dog brains so that we'll have an opportunity to exploit the situation.
"It's all your fault, you little bitch! You think I don't know? You're telling me this now so your dad will come and beat me up."
I'm telling you, I won't let you have your way.
"You damned little bitch, you wait, I will definitely kill you."
Xi Mei was furious. How could she not see that this little girl in front of her was utterly despicable?
He raised his hand to slap July, but July hurriedly ran to the next room.
"Dad, Dad, Mom said she's going back to her parents' home and wants Uncle to come and beat you up."
"Dad, be careful, you can't get hurt."
Upon hearing this, Chun Gui jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and nimbly pulled Xi Mei out of the kitchen.
A slap landed on Ximei's face.
"You fucking want your brother to bully me? What kind of good person do you think your brother is?"
I used to be bullied because I had a limp.
Why do you want your brother to beat me up now?
If you're so capable, go back to your parents' house and call your brother over. He owes me so much money from before; it's time we settled the score.
You think your family is anything special? They just want to sell their daughters for money. If I hadn't taken advantage of your family all these years, they would have starved to death long ago.
Will your younger brother be able to get married?
You still dare to think about having your brother deal with me?
Before your brother can deal with me, I'll beat you to death first.
Xi Mei was no match for the now strong and healthy Chun Gui and was immediately beaten black and blue.
Immediately afterwards, Chun Gui picked up a fire poker that was standing upright by the wall and smashed it down on Xi Mei's leg.
All that could be heard was Ximei's scream.
Chun Gui threw Xi Mei, who looked like a dead dog, onto the kitchen floor and ignored her completely.
He still vividly remembered how this woman had treated him in the past. Chun Gui was actually a very narrow-minded person, and he had always wanted to take revenge on his wife.
He wanted to take revenge on his wife's family, but he really didn't have the ability to do so before.
Chun Gui is now acting like a petty person who has achieved his goal.
Seeing Chun Gui enter the house, the little girl Qi Yue hurriedly swept the kang (a heated brick bed) clean, set up the kang table, and served her father peanuts.
There was also wine, scrambled eggs, and chopped pickled vegetables.
"Dad, don't be angry. Mom didn't mean it. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you and make sure she doesn't go back to her parents' house to report the news."
Chun Gui nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"You're sensible. From now on, live a good life with your father."
If she dares to have any wicked ideas, you should tell Dad in advance, and he'll beat her so she won't dare to have any crooked thoughts.
Remember this: I'm the one who supports you, so you have to listen to me.
July immediately nodded understandingly.
"Father, don't worry, I'll listen to you."
Listen to you? Of course I'll listen to you. If I were to watch you two fight like dogs, you two would be nothing short of wolves and tigers.
It was a while after July when I arrived at the kitchen, and Ximei had just woken up.
She lay on the ground, the pain from the broken bone in her leg was so intense it made her break out in a cold sweat.
In the dead of winter, although there is a stove in the kitchen, it has long been extinguished because no one is cooking now.
The frozen plums are cold for a while, then hot for a while.
Seeing July walk in, Xi Mei gritted her teeth and said.
"Quickly help me to the kang (heated brick bed)."
July, however, said with a smile.
"Mother, Father won't let me help you onto the kang (heated brick bed). He said he's going to teach you a lesson. You'd better just stay here and lie down."
Oh, right, Mom and Dad said if you don't behave, they'll break your leg too, so you'll never be able to leave the house again.
You should just obediently give birth to children for your father. As long as you give birth to a younger brother, your father will take good care of you.
July turned and left. Xi Mei was overjoyed. It seemed that Chun Gui really didn't care about her life or death. She couldn't just wait here to die.
He pleaded hastily.
"July, be good!"
Mother knows you're a good child, but you can't just love your father and ignore your mother.
How about this?
"I still have White Rabbit milk candies in my pocket. I'll get you some in a bit. First, help me get to the kang (heated brick bed)."
Xi Mei didn't want to die, nor did she want to become truly lame. She realized that Chun Gui was trying to make her a cripple as well.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to help you to the bed, but if I do, Father will beat me."
"Fine, you don't have to help me to the kang (heated brick bed), but you have to do your mother a favor!"
There was still money under the kang bed.
Right next to the kang (heated brick bed), there was a hole in the hole, blocked by a brick.
"All that money is for you. Go to your mother's family home and tell your uncle to come and see her."
Xi Mei had to call for help. If her brothers knew her current situation, they would definitely come to her rescue and would not stand idly by. Chun Gui would be in for a surprise then.
July nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go check the stove hole to see if there's any money. If there is, I'll go tell my uncle."
Xi Mei was so angry she wanted to curse.
"You heartless bastard, didn't you know to help me to bed first?"
But I was powerless to do anything about it.
I initially thought this young girl would definitely help me with this after receiving the money, since it wasn't a difficult task. My family home was in the next village, only a half-hour walk away.
Even though it's snowing now, it's still not a problem to walk for an hour. My younger brother will definitely come when he hears the news.
Unexpectedly, less than five minutes later, Chun Gui from next door smashed his cup and started cursing.
"That thieving woman, she still hasn't given up her thieving intentions."
You want his brother to teach me a lesson, don't you?
"I'd like to see what his brother's skills are capable of in dealing with me."
Xi Mei felt uneasy; these words didn't sound like good news. Just then, Chun Gui rushed in again, grabbed her by the collar, and slammed her against the wall twice.
Xi Mei's vision went black, her scalp tightened, and she fainted.
Seeing that Ximei had fainted, Chungui, still not satisfied, punched and kicked her again.
Ximei lay there like a dead dog.
"Dad, please stop hitting Mom. If you keep hitting her like this, someone will die."
