When Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan arrived at Liujia Village, it was already afternoon.
Liu Family Village – as the name suggests, Liu is a common surname here, and almost everyone in the village is related to someone else.
"Baozhu, let's assess the situation before taking any action." Sun Xingyan was afraid that Xia Baozhu might hit Liu Guangjun without thinking, which would make it difficult for her to leave the village.
When he used to travel, he knew that some villages were particularly united; if one person was harmed, half the village would stand up for them.
"Don't worry, I won't hit him," Xia Baozhu said with a smile. It would be too lenient to let him off so easily after only one beating.
After getting off the bus, Xia Baozhu found someone to take them to Liu Guangjun's house.
Liu Guangjun's family lived in a tiled house made of adobe and gray bricks, which was neither good nor too bad.
Firewood was scattered haphazardly in the yard, chickens and ducks roamed freely, and chicken or duck droppings could appear on the ground at any time.
This Liu Guangjun is incredibly stupid. He has such a good relative like her, yet he doesn't take advantage of her and insists on challenging her bottom line.
Let him experience the consequences of the challenge.
Liu Guangjun's parents were equally foolish; seeing their son making money, they didn't even ask why.
Instead of trying to please his daughter-in-law, he allowed his son to beat her.
A family of idiots.
"Who are you?" Liu's mother came out when she heard the commotion.
"I am Xia Laidi's older sister." Xia Baozhu sized up Liu's mother, whose thin face was sharp and mean, and who looked like she had no good fortune.
"Oh, it's Lai Di's older sister. Come in and sit down." Liu's mother said with a forced smile, sensing that something bad was about to happen. "Lai Di has gone out to play."
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the east room opened.
"Big sister." Xia Laidi burst into tears as soon as she spoke.
"Auntie!" Liu Runan ran out excitedly, hugging Xia Baozhu's waist and trying to crawl forward.
Xia Baozhu bent down, picked her up, and kissed her chubby face hard: "Nannan, your aunt has come to take you back to Taicheng."
“Great! And Mom too.” Liu Runan waved to her mother happily, signaling her to come over quickly.
Liu's mother said awkwardly, "Laidi fell yesterday, and I was afraid you would worry if you saw it."
"Well, so I plan to take her to the hospital for a check-up. After all, if she works one less day, she'll earn one less day of money."
"It's alright, she's very healthy, she'll be fine after a couple of days of rest." Liu's mother was relieved to hear that Xia Baozhu wasn't there to cause trouble.
"Come, come, sit inside," Liu's mother said warmly.
"No, where is Liu Guangjun?" Xia Baozhu stood still.
“He went out to play with his friends and will be back in a little while. I’ll go call him. Laidi, you talk to your sister and get them a glass of water.”
Knowing that Xia Baozhu was her son's boss and the person who paid his salary, Liu's mother didn't dare to delay her son's business and quickly ran out to find her.
Xia Baozhu handed Liu Runan to Sun Xingyan so that he could hold her.
She walked up to Xia Laidi and, seeing her miserable face covered in bruises, her anger flared up again.
"What are your thoughts?" she asked, staring at Xia Laidi.
"Sister, I want a divorce." Xia Laidi's tears fell in a downpour as she sobbed, her voice soft but firm.
"Okay, you can stay in Taicheng from now on." Xia Baozhu was satisfied with Xia Laidi's answer; she was still quite clear-headed.
Xia Laidi's decision to divorce depends on whether Liu Guangjun agrees, and it's clear he won't.
If you disagree, then use some methods.
Liu Guangjun was intently focused on his cards at the card table when he heard his mother yell. He scratched his head in frustration but didn't say anything.
The others exchanged glances and a knowing look.
One of them spoke up: "Brother Jun, your aunt is calling you."
"Ignore her, let's continue."
"Qiangzi, is Guangjun here?" Liu's mother called out from the courtyard gate as she walked in.
"Yes, Auntie, what's up?" Qiangzi replied.
“His sister-in-law is here, hurry up and send him home.”
When Liu Guangjun heard that Xia Baozhu had arrived, his face first showed panic, then anger.
He hit Xia Laidi yesterday, and that bitch Xia Laidi went to her sister to complain.
He didn't hit her hard enough. He should have beaten her so badly she couldn't get out of bed. Next time he should beat her to death.
Beat her until she never dares to complain again.
Liu Guangjun's gloomy face silenced the few people who wanted to make lewd jokes.
It was obvious that Liu Guangjun's beautiful sister-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.
Otherwise, Liu Guangjun's expression would have changed as soon as he heard she was coming.
"I'm not playing anymore today." Liu Guangjun put down his cards, thinking about how to answer Xia Baozhu's questions.
"What a pity, you had such a good hand." Qiangzi glanced at Liu Guangjun's hand with a regretful expression.
He lamented that he had only made eighty yuan from Liu Guangjun that day.
Liu Guangjun walked back slowly, followed by four card players who had come to watch the commotion.
They were curious as to why Liu Guangjun was so afraid of his sister-in-law. Was it really true, as others had said, that Liu Guangjun worked under his sister-in-law?
Xia Baozhu waited for almost an hour before Liu Guangjun appeared in the yard.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, you've arrived. It's so kind of you to come all this way." Liu Guangjun was holding several boxes of medicine. "I just went to buy medicine for Lai Di."
“Laidi said she fell, so I came over because I was worried. How could she have fallen so badly?” Xia Baozhu looked up at Liu Guangjun, her gaze falling on the medicine in his hand.
Hearing Xia Baozhu's words, Liu Guangjun felt relieved. He looked at Xia Laidi, who was keeping her head down and not saying a word, and thought that she still knew that family scandals should not be aired in public.
"Oh, yesterday Lai Di told me she was going out to play, but she went hiking, lost her footing, and rolled down the mountain. Our mountains are all rocks."
Liu Guangjun made up a random excuse.
"No wonder she fell so hard. Your mother also told me that Lai Di fell in the yard."
"No, my mom wasn't home yesterday, so I didn't dare tell her because I was afraid she would worry."
After Liu Guangjun finished speaking, he felt sweat on his face.
“It’s not enough for Lai Di to just take medicine. Let’s go to the city hospital for a checkup. You go with her.” Xia Baozhu stopped wasting her breath on this idiot and stood up.
"Going to the hospital is too expensive, we can't afford it." Liu Guangjun was still thinking about his cards and didn't want to go back.
Going back to work was tiring and he was in a bad mood. During the few days he stayed at home, he enjoyed the long-lost relaxation and was very reluctant to go to work.
It would be better to let Xia Laidi go to work herself, since she earns enough money for the whole family anyway.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it. It won't be deducted from your wages." Xia Baozhu smiled, appearing very generous and easy to talk to.
"Thank you, big sister. I'll pack my things right away." Liu Guangjun forced a smile; he was still somewhat afraid of Xia Baozhu.
He planned to sneak back after Xia Laidi went to work.
As for the house in the city, let Xia Laidi earn it slowly.
Then he can play at home and also buy a house in the city.
Having made up his mind, Liu Guangjun worked quickly and soon packed up the belongings of his family of three.
