"Fuck your mother, that's normal," Yuqin's mother couldn't help but curse, "I can't bear to hit my daughter, and yet you have to do it. Who do you think you are? Calling you mother-in-law really makes you think you're a delicacy!"
Hu Xiaohong was so angry that her hands were shaking. She was obviously scared to death of them, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "I think you are unreasonable, just as unreasonable as your daughter. You are her mother, so of course you will side with your daughter. Songhua is my daughter, so of course I have to protect her. I won't let an outsider disfigure her."
"Outsider?" Yuqin Niang was so angry that her teeth were itching. Although she tried hard to tell herself not to fight, she was still furious at the Black Widow. "So my daughter becomes an outsider after marrying into your family? You old hag, don't forget that you are also a daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Are you also an outsider?"
She felt that if she could still endure it, she would be a coward, so she slapped Hu Xiaohong's face in anger.
Hu Xiaohong had been on guard against those people for a long time. When she saw Yuqinniang's action, she immediately stepped back. However, she failed to retreat because Wang Xinghua blocked her way from behind, forcing her to take the slap in the face.
"Snap"
Hu Xiaohong was stunned by the beating. At that moment, she felt dizzy and her ears were buzzing. She could not hear the sounds around her. It took a while before she could faintly hear any sound. Half of her cheek was numb and unconscious.
When she recovered, she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She didn't care whether she had to be humble or not, and she cursed at several people: "Li Yuqin was the one my family spent 80 yuan on betrothal gifts to marry her. A full 80 yuan! What kind of wife can't we marry for this price?
What's wrong with me hitting her twice? Is it because your child is so spoiled that I can't scold her? Besides, even if I kicked the baby out of her belly, what can I do? It's our Wang family's child. It's up to our Wang family to decide whether to do it or not. Who do you think you are, the Li family? You come here to show off your power. I, Hu Xiaohong, respect you because you are my in-laws, but I look down on you because you are a nobody. You even dared to hit me. I think you should all be sent to the police station and shot to death!"
Tian Cai and Sun Yanhong's eyes widened in shock when they heard this. Was Hu Xiaohong brainstem deficient? How dare she say such things about her daughter in front of her parents? She must be dying!
Sure enough, all the Li family members' faces turned black. Even Zhang Defa, who was helping Wang Songbai negotiate with the Li family, couldn't help but frown. Hu Xiaohong was asking for trouble, and no one could do anything about it.
"I'm your uncle——"
Yuqin's mother picked up a broom from the wall and hit Hu Xiaohong on the head.
Hu Xiaohong dodged and tried to fight back, but Yuqin's mother swung the broom so vigorously that she couldn't hit anyone at all.
"You black-hearted, stinky old woman, you shameless black widow, you deserve to be a widow. Your man must be so disgusted by you that he can't eat and wants to jump into the cesspool and drown himself. You son of a bitch, how dare you treat my daughter like this? I'll beat you to death!"
Wang Xinghua looked around and saw a bamboo pole by the wall. She hurried over to pick it up and help Yuqin's mother to greet Hu Xiaohong.
Yuqin's mother, Hu Xiaohong, couldn't resist alone, let alone Wang Xinghua. The bamboo stick hitting her body was much more painful than a broom, and Hu Xiaohong screamed in pain. The remaining two women looked at each other and decided not to take action for the time being.
Two against one is barely acceptable, but if four against one, they are just looking for trouble.
Wang Songbai became anxious when he heard his mother's screams. He pushed aside several Li brothers and was about to rush over here, but was pushed further away.
He saw a faint red on Hu Xiaohong's forehead, and thought that she was bleeding, which made him even more anxious. However, he couldn't break free after several attempts, so he raged and punched the person closest to him in the face.
"Fuck, he dares to hit me? Brothers, beat him!" The man rolled his eyes, and several people next to him who were eager to try immediately attacked him. They had been waiting for a long time and their hands were itching to do so. Now they didn't care about anything else and just beat up this bastard first.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop it now! We're all from the same commune. If so many of you beat up one person, your whole family will end up in jail too!" Li Tiegang, who rushed over after hearing the commotion, panted and scolded Zhang Defa. "And you, you just watched them beat each other up without doing anything. Why didn't you just talk it out peacefully instead of resorting to violence? How dare you!"
Li Tiegang was someone Zhang Baocai had specially found before he went to the Fangshan Brigade. He had agreed with that brat at that time that if there was no fight, he would pretend not to know. But if a fight really broke out, Zhang Defa, the deputy captain, would definitely not be able to control the situation, and then Li Tiegang, the captain, would have to step in.
Li Tiegang is very famous in the entire commune, and all the Li family members in Fangshan Brigade know him.
When Yuqin's mother saw someone coming, she winked at Wang Xinghua, and the two of them immediately distanced themselves from Hu Xiaohong, threw the things in their hands aside, and rubbed their eyes casually, and tears as big as beans rolled down.
"Captain, I have no choice. My daughter has been ruined by the Wang family. And my grandson, who was only a little over a month old, was aborted!"
Several young men from the Li family over there stopped when they saw Li Tiegang. Only the boy who was beaten first was so angry that he secretly kicked Wang Songbai from behind, causing him to fall flat on his face. The dirt filled his mouth and he kept coughing.
Li Tiegang had already heard the whole story from Zhang Baocai, but now he had to pretend that he didn't know, and his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
"Unseemly! Absolutely unseemly!"
Hu Xiaohong shouted unyieldingly, "She asked for it. Look how she beat my Songhua. My daughter hasn't even got married yet, and her face has been ruined. I don't know how she's going to find a partner in the future—"
She had just been beaten up by two women, and had a lot of injuries on her body and face. Her already messy hair looked like a chicken coop, and the bloody streaks on her face from being beaten with bamboo sticks and brooms were very eye-catching.
Wang Songhua was still squatting by the window, her hands tightly covering the torn scalp.
Several people looked at her. The girl's face was swollen from being beaten, and her eyes, which were not big to begin with, were also swollen from crying. Now that so many people were looking at her at once, she pretended to shrank back, looking very pitiful.
Then the two sides started arguing again about the war. Just now, Li Yuqin didn't give her mother-in-law any face in the house. She told her mother everything that had happened in the past few days like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Now Yuqin's mother added fuel to the fire when she recounted the story.
