Upon hearing his brother's shout, Leng Mingguang immediately pushed open the door and strode out, holding a hoe in his hand. He smashed the glass door of Xia Baozhu's room with a loud crash.
Leng Minghui was dumbfounded when he saw what his brother was doing.
What are you doing?
"I'll avenge you, brother." Leng Mingguang said, and with another swing of the hoe, another piece of glass shattered.
"Alright, this is between me and your sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about it, go back to sleep."
Leng Minghui considered himself a real man. He argued with his wife, and his younger brother came out to beat her up. This was simply outrageous, and he would lose both face and dignity if word got out.
"This woman needs to be taught a lesson; I've wanted to hit her for a long time!"
Leng Mingguang still remembers the feeling of being trampled under Xia Baozhu's feet that day; he had been holding back this anger for a long time.
He drank quite a bit tonight, and his slurred speech reeked of alcohol.
"Go back now!" Leng Minghui's tone turned cold.
His brother shouldn't interfere in their marital conflict.
The door opened, and Xia Baozhu swung the wooden stick she was using to block the door at Leng Mingguang. The blow was swift and vicious, aimed at areas that were easy to hurt but difficult to leave marks on.
Leng Mingguang was in so much pain from the first blow that he couldn't hold the hoe properly. He dodged the stick and ran around the yard, with Xia Baozhu chasing after him and hitting him.
"Brother, stop this crazy woman!" Leng Mingguang was hit every time he was slow, so he had to quicken his pace. He tried to run into the house, but Xia Baozhu stopped him every time.
"Minghui, stop her!" Wang Aixiang stood in front of the main room door, too afraid to go forward, watching helplessly as her second son was beaten.
She had been eavesdropping behind the door, listening to how her eldest son was disciplining that slut. She was particularly excited when she heard her second son hitting the slut's door, but she never expected that her second son would be beaten up so soon after.
What a damn scourge! Make them get a divorce tomorrow!
Leng Minghui tried to stop her, but each time he was forced back two steps by the wooden stick in Xia Baozhu's hand.
Li Xiujuan also hid behind the door and watched. She wanted to ask Leng Mingguang to come inside and hide, but she was afraid that Xia Baozhu would break down their door and frighten the child.
During this time, she realized that as long as she didn't provoke Xia Baozhu, she wouldn't hurt anyone, and she usually wouldn't even say a word.
Today, Leng Mingguang thought that with his brother back, he could teach Xia Baozhu a lesson, but he didn't expect to get beaten up again.
"Xia Zhaodi, stop!" Leng Minghui followed behind in circles, not daring to get too close, and his shouts had no power at all.
Leng Mingguang sobered up completely. If he had known that even his brother couldn't control this crazy woman, he wouldn't have bothered with her.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong!" Leng Mingguang kept shouting his mistake as he ran, repeating it a hundred times before Xia Baozhu finally stopped.
"Break two doors, pay two hundred yuan." She tapped the ground with a stick and spoke to the panting Leng Mingguang.
"Mom, quickly give me two hundred yuan!" Leng Mingguang shouted hurriedly.
Li Xiujuan's heart tightened when she heard she had to pay two hundred yuan in compensation. She held her child tightly, wondering what would happen if Xia Baozhu came in and searched for money. Fortunately, her husband was smart and knew to ask his mother for the money.
"Oh dear, what a terrible thing!" Wang Aixiang slapped her thigh in anger, but there was nothing she could do. Xia Baozhu dared to hit her second son in front of her eldest son, so she could only go and get the money.
"Mom, you don't need to go get it. I'll give her the money." Leng Minghui called out to Wang Aixiang.
"Give it to me." Xia Baozhu held out her hand to Leng Minghui.
"Are you sure you want to?" Leng Minghui was really annoyed by the series of unexpected situations that had happened tonight.
For the first time, he realized that he had no authority in the family.
His younger siblings don't listen to him, and neither does his wife. He's a complete failure as the head of the family.
"Didn't you say that?"
At this moment, Xia Baozhu's hair was disheveled, and only her eyes could be clearly seen in the darkness. They were filled with impatience, which made Leng Minghui start to reflect on whether he was really that bad.
He opened his briefcase, took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, and handed them directly to Xia Baozhu.
"Here, take it. Stop fooling around."
Xia Baozhu's eyes lit up when she saw the money. She threw down the wooden stick, took the stack of cash, and counted it: five thousand eight hundred yuan.
It's a win! This time it's a win! I didn't expect Leng Minghui to be so generous. He truly lives up to his role as the male lead.
Today is her lucky day; she has earned her first pot of gold so easily.
She'll go out and inquire about houses tomorrow.
"Was it me who caused this? Did I ever cause any trouble from beginning to end?" Even though I took the money, I still have to say what needs to be said.
“Leng Mingguang has tried to attack me more than once or twice. Shouldn’t you, as his older brother, teach him a lesson first? Just because I won, you can come up and criticize me without even knowing the facts.”
"And your sister, you turn a blind eye to how they bully me, because you think I should be bossed around and insulted by your family."
“Your mother calls me a slut every day and doesn’t give me a single penny. Over the years, you’ve only given me twenty yuan, and I’ve relied on that twenty yuan to buy menstrual products.”
"You turn a blind eye and let things go unchecked, allowing your mother, brother, and sister to become even more despicable and shameless, and their character to deteriorate and become even more vile. I can see what kind of people your whole family are just by looking at me!"
"You think giving me this little bit of money is to shut me up? Ha! This is just the wages I earned serving your family in the past."
"Have you said enough?" Leng Minghui felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. His pride was being stripped away layer by layer, making him furious and humiliated. The thought of getting a divorce on the spot surged into his mind.
This woman's heart is no longer with him, so there's no need for him to waste his time on her.
