Chapter 44: Integrity
Mrs. Lu was still a little confused, "You should choose men to drive tractors, right?"
Lin Shu: "How is that possible? You see in the movies, many of those who drive big tractors and big trucks are lesbians."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he sneered, "Why are women fiddling with machinery? This is a job for us men."
Lin Shu couldn't help but retort him, "Brother, do you earn as many work points as my sister-in-law?"
If someone else retorted to her man, Mrs. Lu would have to protect him, but Lin Shu... She admired Lin Shu now. This was her sister-in-law who was praised by the county public security bureau and the commune leaders, and she even had a certificate of honor.
She said, "Your eldest brother is also very capable and can get high work points."
Of course, it's not full marks. Fang Dihua, Father Lu, Sister-in-law Lu, and Second Brother Lu
all got full marks. Lin Shu: "Anyway, I think Sister-in-law can drive a tractor, which is better than them."
She gestured with her hands to show her knife, "Sister-
in-law, show them your knife!" Panpan and Tiantian, who were endorsing their grandfather, turned their heads and agreed, "Yes, mother said that Auntie can do it, so Auntie can do it!" Sister-in-law
Lu said no, no, I can't do it, but she started to move in her heart.
How about... give it a try? What if it really works?
Lin Shu knew that Sister-in-law agreed.
When Sun Xiaohong went back to her parents' home to give her peaches, her mother pulled her aside and brainwashed her, telling her to go back quickly to coax Lin Yue, "If you have the man in your hands, your parents-in-law and the third aunt are nothing. Back then, your grandma..."
Sun Xiaohong still wanted to save face, "I won't bow to him."
The old lady Sun said, "What's the point of bowing to a couple? If you coax him well, won't he still listen to you after getting into bed? Go back quickly, our family doesn't have 200 yuan to buy you a sewing machine."
Sun Xiaohong felt uncomfortable. Although she didn't want her parents to buy her a sewing machine, her mother made it clear that she would not give it to her, so of course she felt uncomfortable.
Seeing her daughter-in-law trying to look around, the old lady pushed her hard and whispered, "Don't come back and cause your sister-in-law and brother to fight again, okay? You can't be as bad as your third aunt."
The old lady came back and told her that Lin's father and the neighbors had squeezed him to give two hundred yuan to compensate the daughter for the sewing machine. The old lady was so angry that she almost jumped up.
Twenty is fine, but two hundred? Why not grab it?
Who can come up with two hundred yuan?
The old couple didn't want to admit the debt at all. It was impossible for them to take out two hundred yuan for nothing just because Lin's father squeezed them, so they didn't tell their son and daughter-in-law.
Let the daughter coax Lin Yue and let the matter of accidentally hitting her mother-in-law pass. The matter of the sewing machine will naturally be nothing. As long as Lin Yue does not pursue it, his parents will not dare to make trouble. What does the third aunt mean?
Sun Xiaohong was very upset. It was her sewing machine. Why didn't she want it? She didn't hit her mother-in-law in the first place. They teamed up to bully her. Why didn't Lin Yue coax her? Why did she have to coax Lin Yue?
What's wrong with her parents and brothers helping her out? Isn't it what they should do? Why didn't they stand up for her this time?
Seeing that the young lady was still stubborn, the old lady Sun complained in a low voice: "You are not right this time. If you hadn't lost your temper, would you have made such a fuss? Why did you have to kick her? I have taught you so many ways to control men and deal with your parents-in-law, but you had to use the stupidest one?"
It would be fine if you mocked her and scolded her in a low voice, and no one else could hear it.
Wouldn't it be a way to vent your anger if you made her work and didn't give her enough food?
Even if you went to knock on her window in the middle of the night and made her unable to sleep all night?
Why did you have to hit her?
Whoever hits is at fault? How old are you, don't you understand?
The old grandson was also annoyed, so he didn't coax the young lady much, and asked Sun Er to send her back to his sister.
Sun Xiaohong felt very aggrieved, and left her parents' home in a huff, mumbling on the way.
Sun Er was angry: "Sister, don't worry, if Lin Yue dares to say anything about you, I will beat him up!"
Sun Xiaohong felt very aggrieved. Seeing that her second brother was still protecting her, she vented her anger and said, "Yes, beat him up!"
Lin's house.
Because Lin Yue shouted that he wanted a divorce, Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin also came.
Uncle Lin also analyzed the harm of divorce with Lin Yue and others. How could there be divorce in the countryside these days? The couple could only blame their bad luck for breaking up, and they endured it for the sake of their children.
The most important thing is that divorce is embarrassing for him!
Not only is it embarrassing for himself, but also for his parents, brothers, and sisters.
Lin's mother leaned on the kang. At first, she wanted to pretend as her daughter said, but later she was really uncomfortable. She would get flustered and short of breath when being scolded, especially when Sun Xiaohong stepped down from above, which suddenly brought up the shadow in her heart. She was so scared that she trembled all over and had a heart attack.
Last night, she was on an IV and had a fever. She had nightmares all the time. She dreamed of some tragic things that happened a long time ago. She also dreamed that she was too old to move and Sun Xiaohong beat and scolded her crazily and didn't give her food.
She was so scared that she is still uneasy.
When she heard her son talking about divorce, she actually... was a little looking forward to it, but she couldn't bear the guilt of destroying her son's marriage. She was also afraid that her son would be soft-hearted and just talk, and the young couple would reconcile again. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would treat her even worse.
Besides, it was pitiful that the grandson lost his mother. The family had given so much dowry, and it would be a big loss if they divorced.
She also felt that Uncle Lin was right, and it was better to make a big deal out of a small matter and not get a divorce.
She even took the initiative to explain for Sun Xiaohong, saying that Sun Xiaohong did not mean it, and that she was just being too aggressive.
Hey, whose family is not like this, with pots and spoons hitting the edges of the pots and spoons, bumping and rubbing together all their
lives? It is rare to say that there are families where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not blush or quarrel.
Mother Lin felt that she could endure it. She had endured it all her life since she was a child. What could she not endure when she was old?
Lin Yue did not want to divorce at first, but when he came back and saw his mother being beaten so badly, the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart was suddenly aroused.
In the past, Sun Xiaohong only scolded him and chastised him, complaining that her mother was stingy and didn't ask the young lady for money, and that she didn't do this or that, but she didn't scold him directly, and she didn't dare to hit him.
This time, she beat and scolded him just because of a sewing machine. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. She was afraid that she would take it out on her mother-in-law when something happened in the future .
But he was a little hesitant after what Uncle Lin said. It was pitiful for the son to lose his mother. It was a big loss if the betrothal gift given out by the family could not be collected. Divorce would also bring shame to his parents and sisters...
At this time, Zhou's mother, Lin Aidi's mother and several other women came together.
After hearing what Uncle Lin meant, Zhou's mother immediately said, "I didn't mean to ruin the show. This daughter-in-law of the Sun family is such a bad person. She beat her mother-in-law today, but do you believe she will beat her even harder tomorrow? This is not your family's business. If the other daughters-in-law follow suit and beat their mothers-in-law whenever they encounter something, then we old women should just jump into the river as soon as possible."
The other mothers-in-law agreed. They were really scared by Sun Xiaohong beating her mother-in-law.
Although they didn't have a good relationship with Lin's mother before and didn't want to help her, they felt sympathy for her when they saw her haggard and pitiful appearance. Especially since their daughters-in-law were a bit cunning and difficult to deal with, they wanted to persuade Lin Yue to divorce and kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and give the daughters-in-law in Linjiatun a little fear.
As for saying divorce is shameful? It's not their son's divorce, nor is it shameful for them, right?
Besides, they instigated Lin Yue to divorce, so can they laugh at him?
Of course not, that's their achievement, they saved Lin Yue and his parents, if anyone laughs at Lin Yue's divorce, they will be the first to disagree.
So Zhou's mother asked Aunt Lin one by one how Sun Xiaohong beat Lin's mother.
Aunt Lin didn't actually watch the whole process, but she was encouraged by the women, and she became more and more fierce.
In the end, she saw Sun Xiaohong punching and kicking Lin's mother, scolding her for being an old man who couldn't even keep an eye on the sewing machine, and hitting Lin's mother hard on the head with a corn cob and kicking her in the chest.
She spoke more and more fluently, and she was so lively that she took it seriously, and the old ladies took it even more seriously.
If it wasn't so powerful, how could Lin's mother have an IV drip?
The barefoot doctor said it was very powerful!
Lin Yue had felt guilty and blamed himself for seeing his mother in such a miserable state, but now after hearing what the old lady said, he started to slap himself in pain.
Lin's mother couldn't stand it, and quickly said that it was really not that powerful, and Sun Xiaohong didn't hit her.
Auntie Lin and other maids didn't care, but advised Lin's mother, "You are a bad person. You have to say no when you are scolded, and you have to hide your injuries when you are beaten. She beat you like this, and you still protect her. Will she ride on your head and shit on you in the future? If I hadn't stopped her, you would have been beaten to death by her."
Being added fuel to the fire by them, Lin Yue was distressed, guilty and angry. He was so angry that he had to get a divorce.
He couldn't let Sun Xiaohong beat his mother anymore. If she continued like this, she would beat her to death!
As they were talking in the house, the Sun family brother and sister also entered the yard.
Sun Er: "Lin Yue, get out of here!"
Lin's mother trembled with fear and reached out to pull Lin Yue, "Don't go out, don't let him beat you."
Lin Yue was also a little trembling. He was very afraid of Sun Er and afraid of being beaten.
That year, he and Sun Xiaohong were "caught" in the studio by Sun Er. Sun Er went up and beat him up, threatening him, saying "You acted like a hooligan to my sister, I will act like a hooligan to your third sister, I will castrate you, I will kill you, I will kill your whole family" and so on. It was
as if Sun Er would beat him to death if Sun Xiaohong hadn't stopped him.
Later, he thought that it was Sun Er acting on purpose.
But he was still shadowed by Sun Er. After marriage, Sun Er would often punch him, and Sun Xiaohong would always threaten him with her second brother. As long as he didn't listen to her, she would lose her temper and threaten Sun Er, or not let him touch her.
Over time, in order to keep things quiet and avoid trouble, he was willing to be controlled by her.
Now Sun Er was threatening him with his fist again, and even wanted to beat him.
Lin Yue's subconscious reaction was fear. He wanted to avoid and run away, and wanted to surrender and beg for mercy, but when he heard the trembling voices of his parents, his originally weak courage suddenly hardened.
He clenched his fists and turned to leave the house.
Zhou's mother also pulled a few maids over, "Who, go and call people, call all the men! See if the Sun family dares to hit people!"
Seeing Lin Yue coming out, Sun Xiaohong glared at him fiercely, "Don't even think about sleeping in my room from now on!"
She had offended both her parents for him. Not only did he not coax her well, he also ran out to flirt with other women. He was really disgusting!
This time she must teach him a lesson, and she must beat him half to death at night!
She went to the west room after throwing things and beating him.
Sun Er also stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yue's collar to threaten him, "You kid, you feel itchy if you don't get beaten every day, right? How dare you give my sister the cold shoulder?"
Zhou's mother pushed Aunt Lin forward, "Sun Er, what are you doing? Do you want to hit people again? Your sister beat your mother-in-law so hard that her head was bleeding and she even had a heart disease, and you still come here to act like a bully? Is there any law?"
She punched Lin Yue to make him tough.
Lin Yue was forced to be the backbone. His mind was full of his third sister's change and his mother's horrible beating. He felt a huge force rushing out and blurted out, "I want to divorce Sun Xiaohong!"
"What?" Sun Er was stunned. "You fucking say another word?"
Sun Xiaohong was also shocked and rushed out, swearing, "Lin Yue, what did you say, you damn thing?"
Cowards want to resist, unless they have great strength. The first "no" is the most difficult to say. For them, it is as difficult as crossing life and death.
But once it is said, the second one is much easier.
"I want to divorce your sister! My Lin family can't afford her!"
"Bang" Sun Er was furious and punched Lin Yue in the face.
Aunt Lin and Zhou's mother yelled, "Why are you hitting people?"
Lin Yue was knocked to the ground, his head buzzed, and his face was in great pain.
This was the beating he was afraid of, and it was nothing more than that!
He suddenly became angry, and instantly jumped up and wrestled with Sun Er.
Aunt Lin and Zhou's mother also took sticks and came over to hit and poke Sun Er, helping Lin Yue.
Sun Xiaohong saw them beating her second brother, and also went up to tear him apart. Aunt Lin saw that she
was just about to hit you, but she didn't have the chance!
Several women rushed up and beat Sun Xiaohong, "Hurry up, someone is here, the Sun family is here to beat people, Sun Xiaohong beat her mother-in-law again!"
That's right! It's a waste of time
!
Lin's mother heard the fight outside and knew that Lin Yue must have been beaten by Sun Er. She was distressed and anxious, and her heart ached. "His father, don't... don't hit him..."
Lin's father saw that something was wrong with her and shouted, "Lin Yue, stop hitting him. Your mother, your mother is frightened and has a heart attack again. Hurry up and call a doctor!"
Soon, the barefoot doctor came over and re-inserted the drip for Lin's mother. The
barefoot doctor was the third son of the captain, a peace-loving young man. He went to the yard and shouted, "If my aunt is scared to death by you, you can expect the police to come to your door tomorrow!"
Sun Er wanted to act tough, but Zhou Weimin had already brought a group of men over, beat him up, and threw him out.
Sun Xiaohong couldn't beat them, so she started swearing.
Aunt Lin and Zhou's mother either beat her or pinched her thighs, armpits, and chest, making her scream in pain. In the end, she was also thrown out by Aunt Lin and her men.
Sun Er cursed, "Just wait for me, I'll go back and call people, and come back to kill you."
He took Sun Xiaohong back to Sun's village.
After this battle, Lin Yue, who was not yet determined to divorce, is now completely determined to divorce.
Uncle Lin no longer talks about divorce being shameful and the need for a dowry for children.
"Divorce, hurry up, the Sun family is a bunch of barbarians, they are unreasonable!"
Lin's mother and father think it's better to divorce, otherwise they will have to live in fear of being beaten by the Sun family for the rest of their lives.
Today, Zhou's mother and others come to help, but who will help if they are beaten every day in the future?
Divorce, must divorce!
This matter alarmed the brigade, and the brigade secretary, brigade leader, production team leader, and the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of their respective families came over one after another.
The secretary of Linjiatun was a retired soldier with a hot temper. He asked someone to ride a bicycle to Sunjiazhuang to find their secretary and give the Sun family a good scolding. Don't act arrogantly for a little thing. What good will it do to alarm the commune militia?
Looking back, both brigades were criticized by name. Do they still have shame?
What's the shame of their divorce?
The brigade was criticized by the commune and the county, and all the brigade cadres were embarrassed. That's really embarrassing!
"They are all f*cking following my tail. If you want a divorce, sit down and talk it over. Whoever started it is f*cking disrespectful to me. I will beat him so hard that his eighteen generations of ancestors will not recognize him!"
The next day in Lujiazhuang.
The ground was a little dry but the fields were still muddy. Once you entered the field, you would trample the ridges and the production team leader had to stop working and ask everyone to clear the ditches on the roadside and at the edge of the field. In addition, after a few rains, the sweet potato vines grew wildly and had to be turned over in time, otherwise the fibrous roots would grow everywhere and affect the results.
Anyway, the members were busy. The family
had just cut down a tree. The locust tree had thorns. Lin Shu was afraid that the children would be pricked, so she coaxed the two children to take the comic books to the street to play with Huahua Huzi and the others in the morning.
She trimmed the branches and picked the appropriate ones to build lentil racks, rose racks, etc., and then surrounded the chicken and duck pens.
In the afternoon, she steamed the wotou and took a small axe to trim the branches as thick as fingers.
While she was busy, she looked up and found Lin Yue coming in from outside. Good guy, she almost didn't recognize him because of his wolfish appearance.
Yesterday, Lin Yue was still a sunny and handsome young man, and the learned youth came to show their courtesy, but today... he looked like a homeless man.
After only one day of not seeing each other, the heartless Lin Yue yesterday turned into a sang, with unshaven beard, messy hair like a chicken nest, bruises on his face, a tear at the corner of his mouth, and torn clothes on his body, looking very wolfish.
Lin Shu: "Did you... have a fight with Sun Xiaohong?"
Yesterday, Sun Xiaohong came to Lin Yue in a rage, but was held back by her and her mother-in-law. She had a tantrum and worked all day at Lu's house. She was so angry that she had to take it out on Lin Yue.
Lin Shu had some bad intentions yesterday. She deliberately forced Sun Xiaohong to expose her evil nature so that Lin Yue could see it clearly.
However, Sun Xiaohong did not say yesterday that she kicked her mother-in-law, which caused her mother-in-law to have an IV drip. Naturally, Lin Shu did not know about it. She thought that Sun Xiaohong had beaten Lin Yue.
Lin Yue's eyes instantly turned red, and he choked up, "Sister..."
Lin Shu said in disdain, "What's there to cry about being beaten by your wife?"
Lin Yue wiped his tears and said, "It was Sun Er who beat you."
Lin Shu frowned, "Sun Er beat you because of the sewing machine?"
Lin Yue then remembered that his sister didn't know anything yet, and didn't dare to tell her in detail about Lin's mother being punched and kicked by Sun Xiaohong. She just briefly told her that she was going to divorce and Sun's family would come to her house.
Lin Shu frowned. She thought that Sun Xiaohong would definitely beat Lin Yue after getting the sewing machine back, but she didn't expect that she would beat Lin's mother.
It seems that this person is born with evil in her bones. When there is no major conflict of interest, she is decent, but once there is a conflict of interest, she immediately reveals her evil nature, regardless of what you have done for her.
In the original plot, Lin's mother was old and sick and could not work. She was starved to death by Sun Xiaohong after she had no use value!
At that time, Lin Yue was busy working in the construction team to support his family.
Sun Xiaohong was afraid that Lin Yue would look down on her if he had a promising future and made money, and was afraid that he would like other women, so she wanted to tie him to her belt.
As long as Lin Yue wanted to do something, she would immediately destroy it. When
Lin Yue went to do small business, she secretly reported it. When
Lin Yue wanted to learn a skill, she immediately went to warn all the women around not to get close to him, making him lose face and become a laughing stock.
Because of Sun Xiaohong's obstruction, he has been doing manual labor to earn hard-earned money.
If Lin Yue does not make changes in this life, they will still be pinched by Sun Xiaohong's neck in the future.
Lin Yue told Lin Shu not to worry, Sun Er no longer dared to hit people.
Last night, the Sun family wanted to go to the door to make trouble but were stopped by the branch secretary.
This morning, before dawn, the old Suntou and his wife brought their four sons and daughters and rushed to the Lin family in a hurry.
Aunt Lin, Zhou's mother, and four or five other maids had spread the news that Sun Xiaohong had beaten her mother-in-law, causing her mother to have a bloody head and a heart attack. The whole Linjiatun village knew about it, and even other production teams came to watch the excitement.
The barefoot doctor testified because Lin's mother was on an IV again.
The maids in Linjiatun immediately shared a common hatred and immediately called the men and sons to help.
The daughter-in-law beat her mother-in-law so badly that she broke her head and had a heart attack, and she also asked her family to come and beat her. How could this be tolerated?
No matter how close or distant they were, they all came to help.
Lin Shu looked at Lin Yue, and her bright smile disappeared. Instead, her eyes became calm. It seemed that being beaten helped men grow.
