Chapter 148: The New Life of the Mother and Daughter (1)
Taotao asked Hua Niuniang to get up, and made an appointment with her for Hua Niuniang to come and help her take care of Xiao Feibai tomorrow - from eight in the morning to five thirty in the afternoon, at the research station.
Hua Niuniang left with many thanks.
Xiao Feibai was reluctant to leave Hua Niu, so he held her hand and didn't let her leave.
Hua Niuniang smiled and told her daughter, "Then you can stay here and play with Xiao Feibai, but you can't eat dinner here... You can't cause trouble for your Aunt Bai, understand?"
Hua Niu nodded.
The two children and two puppies were playing in the open space in front of the research station.
Taotao looked at the two of them for a while and then went back to the house. She had to pack some more toys suitable for the children before it got dark.
When he was still in Kyoto, Song Zhi had already considered that his children might be lonely and unable to adapt to their parents' busy schedule after moving to the Northwest. So he spent a lot of time collecting toys suitable for children. He asked for them from several familiar families in the yard of his own retirement home, and also went to the workplace to ask for them from his colleagues...
I packed up a large sack of all kinds of things.
However, most of the toys are suitable for older children, so Taotao did not want her children to see the big sack full of toys, so she closed the door and hid in the room alone, fiddling with the sack.
In this day and age, most people raise their children on their own.
Serious toys are almost rare.
But Taotao still found a few toys that should be suitable for children of Xiao Feibai and Hua Niu's age: an embedded jigsaw puzzle, a small abacus, a handmade kaleidoscope, and a few incomplete comic books.
After she had packed up, she restored the sack to its original state and put it back in its place... Thinking of the cracks on Hua Niu's hands, Tao Tao went to find a bottle of frostbite cream and a box of clam oil, and just as she opened the door with the things...
Just then I saw Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun walking in from outside, and they seemed to be talking about something?
They didn't seem to expect Taotao to be in the room. When they suddenly saw her, they were both stunned, looking a little flustered? ? ?
Shi Yuxi's pretty face flushed, and Deng Gaoyun was hesitant.
Tao Tao stared at them for a while and said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, I... was just about to go look for you guys!"
The two became even more nervous.
Shi Yuxi stammered, "W-what's the matter?"
Deng Gaoyun, "I, we don't have anything..."
Taotao:? ? ?
Shi Yuxi became even more flustered and turned around to glare at Deng Gaoyun fiercely.
Deng Gaoyun knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply stopped dwelling on the matter and asked Tao Tao directly, "Junior Sister, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Tao Tao glanced at them again and said, "I hired Hua Niu to help me look after Xiao Feibai. I have already made an agreement with Hua Niu's mother today to provide Hua Niu with lunch every day. But the child is too pitiful, so I thought I should also provide breakfast and dinner for her. Brother will cook dinner today, so remember to cook a little more and leave a portion for Hua Niu."
Deng Gaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
Tao Tao explained, "I will make up for the food consumed by Hua Niu for three meals a day at the end of the month, so you don't have to worry too much, brothers and sisters."
——Taotao stayed at the scientific research station this year. The food allowance approved by her superiors was 20 kilograms of flour per month, plus a subsidy of 10 yuan for her to buy oil, salt and vegetables.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun decided to stay later. For now, they are using Taotao's stored food. Later, Professor Fu will report to his superiors and replenish their food supply.
But Taotao came with her family, and not only did she have to feed her son, but sometimes Song Zhi also ate here, so she also needed to buy some food from the market and store it. At the end of the month, if the government-issued food was used up, she would have to use her private food to make up for it.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun said quickly, "We are taking advantage of you! Only by following you can we eat so well every day. Not to mention the lavish meals every day, at least we get to eat some meat. If we eat by ourselves, we can't even eat so well!"
Taotao smiled, "Brother and sister, please understand."
After saying that, she went out with the toys and frostbite plaster.
Xiao Feibai and Hua Niu were following Da Huang and Da Hei to dig holes and catch mice.
——Taotao would not deliberately feed the two puppies. Even if she did, she would only give them half a pancake or some leftovers. So Dahuang and Dahei need to feed themselves.
Now that the weather is cold, many field mice in the desert have dug burrows in the ground to spend the winter. They have hidden a lot of dried sand dates for food and are spending the winter peacefully in the burrows.
But there is always time to go out of the cave to get some fresh air and bask in the sun.
Dahuang and Dahei started digging holes following the smell.
The two half-grown dogs were full of energy and because they were hungry, they moved very quickly.
The field mice that had overwintered were too fat and slow to react; the two half-grown dogs attacked and defended... After a short while, Dahuang and Dahei each caught a large mouse that looked to weigh about seven or eight taels, and they lay aside and began to eat it.
The two children squatted aside and watched the dog eat the mouse intently.
Taotao: ...
She quickly called the children over and said, "Hua Niu, take Xiao Feifei to wash her hands. Use soap and wash them thoroughly!"
Hua Niu quickly took Xiao Feifei's hand and took him to wash his hands.
After a while, the two children came running over, and little Feibai naturally stretched out his hand for his mother to check.
Hua Niu subconsciously hid her hands... behind her back again.
After a while, the little girl bit her lip, imitated Xiao Feibai, and timidly stretched out her hand for Taotao to check.
Tao Tao carefully checked the two children's hands and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, they are washed really clean!"
Not really.
Hua Niu's hands were so ugly that even after washing them, they still looked hideous and terrifying.
Taotao took out a box of clam oil with a smile, opened the lid, applied some ointment, applied it on her son's little hand, and rubbed it. Then she packed up the clam oil, took out the frostbite cream, scooped out a small amount, rubbed it on Hua Niu's hands, and also carefully applied it to the child.
Little Feifei stared at her with a pair of clear eyes and asked her, "Mom, Feifei this, Fafa that?"
——Why did Xiao Feifei paint this and Huahua paint that?
Tao Tao explained in a good-natured manner, "Xiao Feibai's hand is not injured, just apply this clam oil, it smells nice! Hua Niu has frostbite on her hand, so she needs to apply frostbite cream, this is a medicine. When the frostbite on Hua Niu's hand is healed, she won't be itchy and painful all day long."
Hua Niu lowered her head and stared carefully at the ointment on her hands that had not yet dissolved.
Taotao rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Remember, don't touch water for at least two hours after applying the ointment. From now on, when you come to auntie's place, you have to wash your hands every morning, noon and evening, and then come over to apply the ointment, understand?"
Hua Niu sniffed and tears fell from her eyes without warning.
After a long while, she said loudly: "...Okay!"
At dinner time, Deng Gaoyun, the culinary killer, prepared another dinner that left Taotao and Shi Yuxi speechless.
-- Add desert wild onions to dough and knead it into a pancake, fry it in oil until one side is crispy, then put cooked rice mixed with soy sauce, salt, lard and chopped cabbage in it, then cover it with another wild onion dough pancake, and then fry it again.
——In this era, everyone uses tin pots to cook. After cooking in a tin pot, there is always rice on the pot wall that cannot be scraped clean. So he soaked the pot in water for a while, then put all the rice crusts and water into the oil pan where the pies were fried, added a few cabbage leaves, and made a soup.
At this moment, Deng Gaoyun cut the whole pancake as big as the pot into several pieces with a kitchen knife and put them in a large bowl.
Taotao and Shi Yuxi stared in amazement at the large bowl of fried, mushy, and then cut into pieces... I don't know if it's called a noodle cake or a rice cake, and a large bowl of rice, pot-crusted vegetable leaf soup that looked no different from swill...
They couldn't calm down for a long time.
Deng Gaoyun was still complacent.
"Come, eat! Eat... This pancake is a little burnt, but it doesn't matter. The burntest piece is here, and the ones in the bowl are not so burnt. I've tried it, it tastes very good!" Deng Gaoyun laughed.
Little Feibai was fearless and took a bite of the cake. He nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
Deng Gaoyun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xiao Feibai is really my confidant!"
Taotao was speechless.
Shi Yuxi stared at the food on the table in great embarrassment and was unable to pick up his chopsticks.
Tao Tao finally remembered and quickly called Hua Niu, "Hua Niu, try it... My God, your Uncle Deng is so innovative in cooking. My heart can't take it."
Hua Niu obediently took a piece of rice cake and put it in her mouth and started chewing. Then she said, "Aunt Bai, this cake... is delicious!"
Taotao shook her head desperately.
Deng Gaoyun looked hurt, "Junior sister, please give me some face and eat a piece!"
Tao Tao was still coaxing the child, "Hua Niu, is it that the piece you took just happened to be the delicious one? I see... this piece, this piece, and this piece... these three pieces must not taste good, try again!"
So Hua Niu ate the cakes that Tao Tao had specified.
"Delicious! Aunt Bai, these pancakes are delicious, please eat them quickly!" Hua Niu said.
Tao Tao, "Really?"
Hua Niu also imitated Tao Tao's tone, "It's really delicious, Aunt Bai, just have a piece... If it doesn't taste good, I'll eat it for Aunt Bai!"
Taotao: ...
I have to say, the child is really cute. Imitate her and learn it just like her!
Tao Tao narrowed her eyes and smiled, then said to Hua Niu, "Then you try this soup for me! This soup... has rice grains, rice crusts, and vegetable leaves. It tastes like swill to me!"
Deng Gaoyun: …
Hua Niu then scooped another spoonful of hot soup and ate it, "Aunt Bai, this soup tastes great too!"
Taotao saw that Huaniu had eaten four rice cakes and thought she was almost full, so she said to Huaniu, "Okay, then finish this bowl of soup and go back!"
Hua Niu nodded, finished the hot soup in the bowl, and greeted the adults, "Thank you Aunt Bai, thank you Uncle Deng, thank you Aunt Shi! Goodbye, uncle and aunt! See you tomorrow, Xiao Feifei!"
Tao Tao called her again, "Hua Niu, if someone asked you if you had dinner at my place and what you had, how would you answer?"
Hua Niu shook her head, "I just said 'I didn't eat it, so I don't know'...Aunt Bai, is this okay?"
Taotao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Go back soon!"
Taotao smiled.
After Hua Niu left, Tao Tao took a rice cake and took a bite.
Shi Yuxi asked her nervously, "How is it? Can I eat it?"
Before Taotao could answer, Deng Gaoyun yelled at Shi Yuxi angrily, "Can't you try it yourself?"
Shi Yuxi's face turned red.
Taotao smiled and said, "The pancakes are fried with oil and added with wild onion grains, so they are not bad to eat! Although they are filled with rice, they are not too bad to eat with lard... Senior Sister, please eat it!"
Shi Yuxi glanced at Deng Gaoyun, lowered his head, took a rice cake and took a bite.
Sure enough, the rice cake tasted just as Taotao said. Although it looked ugly, it was indeed delicious.
Think carefully -
How can it not be delicious? It’s fried with wild onions, oil, and lard!
Shi Yuxi sighed, "What a waste!"
Deng Gaoyun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Prodigal?"
He has been single until now and has always been able to provide for himself and his family. This was the first time he heard someone criticize him for being a spendthrift, and the person was... someone he cared about a lot.
Deng Gaoyun fell silent.
==
But after Hua Niu left the research station, she hurried home.
On the way, someone called her, "Stop right there, you jinx!"
Hua Niu turned around and saw Aunt Conezi with a cold look in her eyes.
She hated Aunt Cone.
Then she heard Aunt Awl ask her: "...you stayed at the research station for so long, what were you doing?"
"Aunt Bai asked me to help her take care of Xiao Feifei." Hua Niu said in a low voice.
Aunt Awl's eyes lit up when she saw it. "Bai Taotao asked you to help take care of her son? How much did she pay you?"
Hua Niu lowered her head and said, "Aunt Bai, give me some lunch."
"What?" Aunt Awl's voice rose an octave. "You helped her take care of her son for a day, and she only gave you... a bowl of rice?"
Hua Niu nodded.
Aunt Awl immediately started cursing, "Your mother is stupid, and you are an idiot too! Bai Taotao is from a big city, she is rich! The milk powder she feeds her son is all Daqing brand... Do you know how much a bag of Daqing milk powder costs? Five yuan! You idiot! Do you know how many potatoes you can buy with five yuan?"
"Five dollars can buy two hundred potatoes! You wash clothes for the villagers, washing ten or twenty pieces of clothes for a whole family, and you only earn one potato! You take care of her children for a day and it's only worth a bowl of rice? Idiot!" Aunt Cone was so angry that spit flew.
Hua Niu hated her and ran away.
Aunt Cone's face was full of resentment.
——She asked Hua Niu to wash clothes for the people nearby in exchange for compensation. It was she who told Hua Tanzi about this.
She had already made an agreement with Hua Tanzi that every time Hua Niu helped a family wash a large basin of clothes, she would be rewarded with two potatoes, one for her and one for the Hua family.
With this income, Aunt Cone doesn't have to do anything all day and can still earn enough from four or five potatoes.
She has no parents-in-law, husband, or children from her own family. She can eat four or five potatoes a day and survive. Then go to the production team to get some easy work, and use the money you earn to improve your life.
But now, if Hua Niu stops washing clothes for others, then her income from four or five potatoes a day... will be gone?
Aunt Awl stamped her feet and cursed, "You little bitch! Just as mean as your jinx mother! Humph, wait and see how I deal with you!"
Hua Niu hurried back home.
Her mother was standing at the door looking out.
As Hua Niu ran closer, she heard her father's angry curses coming from the house.
Her mother raised her index finger, put it to her lips, made a "hush" gesture to her, and pointed towards the kitchen next door.
Hua Niu understood and followed her mother to the kitchen with light steps.
There was a fire in the stove in the kitchen, and a pot of boiling water was placed on top of it.
Hua Niuniang asked the child in a low voice, "Have you eaten?"
Hua Niu hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "No."
——Fei Fei’s mother only let her try the taste of that strange rice cake and didn’t let her eat it.
Although she was full when she tried.
Hua Niuniang didn't care, "...then let's eat quickly!"
As she spoke, she bent down, picked up three roasted potatoes from the stove with tongs, handed two to her daughter, and kept one for herself.
Carefully peeling off the skin to reveal the soft and sticky mashed potatoes inside, Hua Niuniang took a plastic bag of salt, sprinkled some salt on the mashed potatoes, and handed it to her daughter, "Hurry, eat it while it's hot."
Hua Niu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Mom, why don't you go to the main hall to eat?"
"Why, do you still want to give it to your father?"
Hua Niu was silent.
——If he is not given food, he can kill people when he gets angry.
And they had to feed him first, and only after he was full could it be the turn of the mother and daughter. The family was too poor, and most of the time, like now, the family's meal consisted of three baked potatoes.
As a rule, all three baked potatoes had to be taken to her father. When her father was in a good mood, he would leave one for her and her mother and he would eat two. Her father was in a bad mood, so he ate all three potatoes, while Hua Niu and her mother ate the potato skins with mud.
All she heard was her mother sneering, "Eat what I tell you to! After you finish eating, go into the house through the back door, take your bedding and make a bed at Qiao Ying's house... I've already told Qiao Ying's mother."
Hua Niu looked up at her mother in surprise, "...Mother?"
Her mother touched her head and said softly, "Mom has made up her mind... Now that the production team doesn't have to work, I have to temper your father's temper. Remember, no matter what happens, no matter what you hear at Qiao Ying's house, don't come out and don't care... Do you hear me?"
Hua Niu felt a little scared for some reason, "Mom——"
Her mother explained in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, he is a paralytic. I will be fine! At most, you will hear him swearing... I have already told all the neighbors. Even if I quarrel with him tonight, they will not come..."
As she spoke, her mother put her hands on Hua Niu's shoulders, stared at her daughter, and said, "If everything goes well... I might divorce him. Niu, you come with me, okay? We won't leave here, but we'll start a new life... From now on, we'll have our own family and support ourselves!"
Hua Niu was extremely shocked and nodded desperately, "Okay!"
——It should have been like this earlier!
Her mother smiled and said, "Then eat these potatoes quickly, and then go get your blanket."
Hua Niu finally told the truth, "Mom, Uncle Deng is cooking at the research station today. The food he cooked is so strange. Feifei's mother and Aunt Shi don't dare to eat it, so Feifei's mother asked me to help her try what it tastes like..."
Then she first described the pancake and soup, and then talked about how she was full after trying it out.
Her mother was stunned at first, then she rubbed her daughter's slightly swollen stomach, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Fei Fei's mother is a good person. Child, you must take good care of little Fei Fei in the future!"
Hua Niu nodded seriously.
However, her mother suddenly sighed, "Actually, she doesn't need you to help her take care of Xiao Feifei. Look how well behaved Xiao Feifei is... and she has been here for more than a month. When have I ever heard that her mother doesn't have time to take care of Xiao Feifei, or that Xiao Feifei is too naughty to be controlled? Girl, she is simply... making up an excuse to help us mother and son!"
Hua Niu was stunned.
Her mother rubbed her eyes, sniffed, and then asked her daughter softly, "Are you really full? Don't you want to eat at all?"
Hua Niu picked up the peeled potato sprinkled with salt and put it close to her mother's mouth.
Her mother smiled, opened her mouth and took a bite of the baked potato, then took it from her daughter and ate it slowly.
Hua Niu peeled another potato for her mother and told her mother, "Mom, Feifei's mother applied chilblain cream to me today and said that she would apply it to me three times a day in the future. In just one week... the chilblains on my hands will be healed..."
Her mother stared at Hua Niu's torn and red hands and laughed. However, her eyes were filled with tears, which condensed into beads and then jumped out of her eye sockets one by one, and she couldn't stop them.
"Mom, we will get better and better!" Hua Niu said softly.
Her mother also nodded hard, "We will definitely get better and better."
While the mother and daughter were hiding in the kitchen eating baked potatoes, Hua Tanzi was lying on the kang table in the main room, cursing loudly.
Hua Niuniang ignored him completely and slowly finished eating the salt-baked potatoes. When she saw the water in the pot was boiling, she extinguished the firewood in the stove, poured the boiling water into the thermos, poured another cup of boiling water, blew it until it was half warm, and drank it all with her daughter. Then she took her daughter's hand, quietly left the kitchen, entered the bedroom through the back door, tidied the bedding on her daughter's bed, and carried her to the next door to the vegetable garden.
Qiao Yingniang from next door was wearing an apron and had been standing there waiting for quite a while.
Seeing Hua Niuniang coming with the blanket, she quickly came over to take it and asked in a low voice: "Are you... afraid of being beaten?"
Hua Niuniang shook her head. "He is a paralytic. What can he do to me? But today... I have to trouble you to take pictures of my Hua Niuniu for me again."
"Hua Niu is so well behaved!" Qiao Yingniang scolded, "I'm just afraid that you will give in again and then that stick will come back to make trouble!"
Hua Niuniang bit her lip and said, "Don't worry..."
Qiao Yingniang walked away holding the bedding in one hand and holding Hua Niu's hand in the other.
Hua Niuniang takes a deep breath——
She turned and walked towards her home.
Home?
Hua Niuniang laughed at herself.
No, this is not her and her daughter's home at all!
This is a stinking prison.
Today, she is going to break free of it, leave here with her daughter and start a new life.
Hua Niuniang walked into the courtyard and pushed open the door of the main room.
A foul odor of feces and urine suddenly hit me in the face!
It was accompanied by Hua Tanzi's vulgar insults, "Bitch! You just came now? You still have the nerve to come back? You better clean up this shit and piss for me! Otherwise, I will tear you apart alive..."
Hua Niuniang ignored him and went straight through the main room, into the house, found the man's clothes, came out again, threw the clean clothes on a chair beside her, and said coldly: "You are not that paralyzed yet! I will give you two choices. One is to get up and boil water to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and then go and clean up the shit and urine on the kang! The other is to just lie in these shit and urine and wait to die! You can choose whichever you want!"
Hua Tanzi was stunned, and his first reaction was——
"Bitch, do you have someone outside?" he yelled angrily.
Hua Niuniang looked at the man lying on the bed and felt that he was so strange.
——She is not a native of Lingxi, but lives in another town two hundred miles away. She lost her parents when she was young and grew up with her uncle and aunt. Later, she was married to the Hua family in Lingxi through a matchmaker.
Although the man was a little older... he was thirty and she was only twenty; although his family was a little poor... they only had three mud houses, one main room and two bedrooms, and his parents were sick and couldn't work at all...
But she was still very happy.
Because she has a home.
However, her husband was always thinking about a widow.
Even though she is younger, prettier, and more hardworking than the widow...
But he still liked the widow.
However, when her parents-in-law were still alive, the man treated her well with their discipline. But after she gave birth to Hua Niu, her parents-in-law seemed to have some complaints about her.
She strives to do everything perfectly.
Her parents-in-law accepted her and treated her very well...
The good times didn’t last long.
That severe sandstorm blew down our house. It was not until the production team cleaned up her house and rescued the people that she found out... her father-in-law died on the spot, her mother-in-law and the man were trapped under the broken wall, and her mother-in-law desperately hugged her son. She was a bloody mess from the waist down, and she was only breathing her last.
The man also suffered a waist injury at the time.
Hua Niuniang was too thin, so although she was also crushed in the ruins, with her seven or eight-month-old daughter by her side... she huddled beside a broken wall and miraculously remained unharmed.
Even her daughter was still breastfeeding peacefully, unaware of what was happening.
Later, the weak Hua Niuniang started to rebuild her home with her daughter on her back, and also had to take care of her mother-in-law and husband.
My mother-in-law endured the pain for two months and then passed away. Before she died, she cried and said to her daughter-in-law: "Good child, your husband has been spoiled by us, you should be more considerate of him... It is better for this couple to be the original one, please take good care of him, and make sure that Niuer has a father and a mother and a complete family..."
Hua Niuniang was locked up for two years because of her mother-in-law's words.
She worked very hard and earned work points in exchange for two laying hens. She could collect two eggs a day, which she would cook and let the man and child eat one a day.
She worked during the day and came back at night to take care of the man, take care of his excrement and urination, massage him according to the method taught by the barefoot doctor, and grow herbs to make ointment to apply on his waist. Normally, she would work very hard for others and when she earned a little money, she would find ways to ask someone to go to the town to buy some bones or some pig offal to improve the family's food...
Slowly, the man's health recovered.
Although I can't do heavy work, I have no problem with daily living.
Hua Niuniang hopes that after her man gets better, he will work with her to run the family well.
But the man's behavior made her feel chilled.
——The hen that laid eggs was given to the widow by the man.
——The widow even instigated the man to sell Hua Niu! Fortunately, the team leader Jiang Hongzhi saw through the plan and severely punished the widow. Only then did she dare not set her sights on Hua Niu again.
——The widow thought that it was Hua Niuniang who stopped her from selling Hua Niuniang, and she felt resentful. So she gave the man some advice, making him lie in bed every day and not work, even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the kang. Sometimes he even defecated three or four times a day on purpose, forcing Hua Niuniang and her daughter to clean up for him!
——The man gave all the valuable things in the house to the widow!
——Hua Niu has grown up a little and become more sensible. The man listened to the widow's instigation and asked Hua Niu to help others wash clothes. It was winter, and no one wanted to wash clothes, so Hua Niu went to wash clothes. There were about 10 or 20 pieces of clothes for the whole family. People gave Hua Niu two potatoes, but the widow took one away...
Recalling the hardships she had endured over the years, Hua Niuniang closed her eyes.
The man was still lying on the kang bed, shouting at her angrily, "You son of a bitch! You shameless bitch... You have someone else outside, right? Right?"
Hua Niuniang couldn't help but get angry.
She rushed forward, raised her hand high, and hit him hard!
There was a numb pain in the palm of my hand.
It actually made her feel a kind of... refreshing and exhilarating pleasure? !
The man was stunned after being slapped in the face.
He looked at his wife in disbelief, as if he didn't know her.
Hua Niuniang felt that one slap in the face was not enough to make up for the injustice she and her daughter had suffered in the past few years.
So she slapped him -
"Since you love that widow so much, let's get divorced! I won't hinder you from living with her! You don't have to dislike me and the girl! Let the widow serve you in the future!"
A slap in the face -
"I was so blind and greedy that I wanted to take good care of you and build our home! I tried my best to cure your illness, but you were messing around with the widow at home every day! I even gave her the egg-laying hens I used to nourish your body! You were so reluctant to give her everything in the house, so why don't you cut off your carving and give it to her?"
Another slap in the face -
"Do you know that Niuniu and I are your wife and children? But it doesn't matter now. We will have nothing to do with you soon! I just want to ask you, do you want to leave me? I tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to leave me. Anyway, you are paralyzed in bed and can't move... I will strangle you to death at night when no one is around! When the time comes, I will tell others that you died of illness... and no one will doubt me!"
After saying this in one breath, Hua Niuniang slapped the man hard a dozen times!
Her hands were numb from the beating.
That’s not all.
She was like a madman, throwing all the breakable things in the house at the man lying on the kang bed.
The man was so frightened that he shouted for help.
But Hua Niuniang cried even louder than him—
"Hua Fugui! You ungrateful bastard! I, Xiao Qingjuan, worked so hard to earn work points to provide you with food and drink! But you actually gave all the things in the house to Wang Zhuizi! You gave her all the food in the house! You also gave her all the firewood in the house! What should I and Niu'er do? What should we do?!"
"Hua Fugui, you hit me! You have the nerve to hit me? Do you have a conscience? Your conscience has been eaten by a dog! Wang Zuizi wanted to sell my Hua Niu, and you agreed, you beast! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you are worse than a beast!"
"Hua Fugui, you..."
The small village shrouded in the silent and dark night should be filled with smoke from cooking and the air should be filled with the aroma of food. After a hard day's work, the whole family gathered together to eat happily and chat happily...
But at this moment, the whole village was silent.
Hua Niuniang screamed heart-wrenchingly, listing all the evil deeds the man had done over the years, while picking up a table leg and hitting Hua Fugui viciously and randomly.
Hua Fugui howled in pain.
——Yes, he had been seriously injured, but in the past two years, his body has recovered almost completely under the care of his wife. But he listened to the instigation of his mistress Wang Zuizi, saying that even if he lay in bed every day, Xiao Qingjuan would take good care of him. And he had to do it. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to subdue Xiao Qingjuan.
I just lay there for a few years...
He indeed lived a very comfortable and happy life, with his wife and children taking care of all his food, drink, and toilet needs.
But when he was beaten by his wife, he realized... After all these years, he had no strength left and he couldn't even beat a weak woman like Xiao Qingjuan!
Xiao Qingjuan has been beating Hua Fugui.
In the past few years, she has been doing heavy physical work like a man. Although she still looks so thin, she has actually built up a body of muscular muscles.
She didn't have to go to work these days, and she had three fist-sized baked potatoes for dinner...
She has plenty of strength.
Hua Fugui was beaten up all night.
The most painful thing was that he had defecated and urinated all over the bed in order to punish his wife and children. At this moment, the wet quilt wrapped around him made him feel incredibly cold...
Slowly, he lost consciousness.
Xiao Qingjuan noticed it and stopped beating immediately.
He went to the kitchen, filled a hot water bottle, and threw it on Hua Fugui's heart.
——This man cannot die.
It would be too easy for him to die! ! !
The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Qingjuan prepared dinner in the kitchen and brought it to the living room. Then she took a table leg and hit Hua Fugui, who was lying on the bed, hard!
“Ah——”
Hua Fugui wailed.
Xiao Qingjuan asked him, "Do you want to divorce?"
Hua Fugui stared at her, his face red with hatred, and said in a hoarse voice: "You want to abandon me and marry another man? You are fucking dreaming!"
Xiao Qingjuan sneered, took the bowl and started eating the hot noodle soup.
Hua Fugui got anxious when he saw it, "Give me a bowl! Quick! Quick..."
Xiao Qingjuan chuckled, "Don't joke! Where is the food at home? Didn't you give it all to Wang Zhuizi? This is the last bowl of noodles... Tsk tsk tsk, I even put a piece of lard in it, it smells so good!"
She only cooked two bowls of noodle soup in total, one of which she had just handed to Hua Niu across the fence of Qiao Ying's house; what she had in her hand now was the last bit of food in the house.
Xiao Qingjuan deliberately ate noodles slowly in front of Hua Fugui.
In fact, the main room was full of Hua Fugui's excrement and it smelled very bad.
Eating noodles here is disgusting.
Xiao Qingjuan endured it.
She held the bowl of noodles in one hand and the broken table leg in the other. While slurping noodles, he waved the table leg in his hand and beat Hua Fugui who was trying to get up from the kang bed.
Hua Fugui wanted countless times to get up from the wet and cold kang bed, snatch the bowl of hot noodle soup from her hand and eat it all in one gulp.

"Bang!"
She smashed it to pieces with the wooden table leg again!
“Ahhhhhh…”
The intense pain made Hua Fugui scream in agony. He looked at his wife in shock and anger - wondering how she could have smashed even the bowl she had used to eat noodles? And in this house... there is really nothing useful left, absolutely nothing!
So, she really...
Want to die with him? !
Xiao Qingjuan asked him again, "I just want to ask you...will you divorce or not?"
A light bulb went off in Hua Fugui’s head.
——Yes, she doesn’t want to die. If she really wanted to die, why divorce? She wanted a divorce just because she didn't want to die and wanted to start a new life.
"You're dreaming!" Hua Fugui roared.
Xiao Qingjuan smiled, "If we get divorced, you and Wang Zhuizi can live together forever. She's so smart, she can definitely find money so that both of you can live a good life... It's okay if we don't get divorced. I promise you, I will be a widow within three days! It doesn't matter whether we get divorced or not, right?"
Hua Fugui was stunned.
——How can this woman be so cruel!
Xiao Qingjuan ignored him and cried sadly towards the door, "Fugui
