"ah!
Oh my god! My newly made clothes!
"Sister-in-law! Are you trying to kill me?!"
Xiao Yan and Xie Yujiao instinctively cried out.
Old Man Xiao and Old Woman Xiao, their heads covered in vegetable leaves, were also stunned.
No one expected that Li Shi, who was always like a steamed bun, who could be molded and shaped by anyone, would suddenly explode, spilling a table full of food all over everyone, and Xiao Damei was beaten so badly that she screamed!
"Li, you've gone mad! I'm your eldest sister, you've really rebelled!"
Li was already in a rage; several slaps weren't enough, so she grabbed Xiao Damei by the neck.
"My daughter is gone, I'll make you pay with your life!"
When Xiao Damei's four children saw their mother being beaten, they all rushed forward to help beat Li Shi. However, Xiao Taohua's life or death was unknown, and Xiao Dayong and Qingsong and Qingbai were also holding their breath. How could they watch those four brats beat their wives? Xiao Dayong didn't care whether they were his nephews or not, and went up and kicked the two half-grown boys away with two loud bangs!
Qingsong and Qingbai also got into a fight with their two older cousins!
"Rebellion! You've all rebelled, stop right now!"
Old Man Xiao realized what was happening and was trembling with anger!
Grandma Xiao also jumped up and cursed Li as a jinx, saying she was going to cause trouble. She was jumping up and down and slapping her legs until the ground was smoking!
But nobody listens anymore!
Xiao Dayong beat his two nephews until they behaved themselves.
The green pines and cypresses also managed to subdue the two girls.
Li was determined to avenge her daughter, and beat Xiao Damei until she was black and blue.
Finally, after hearing Old Mrs. Xiao constantly cursing the couple for being unfilial, beasts, and worthy of being struck by lightning, Xiao Daqiong smashed all the tables, chairs, pots, pans, and dishes!
Xiao Dayong, who had never lost his temper before, had bloodshot eyes. He grabbed a stick and smashed everything he could find, glaring at Old Man Xiao and Old Woman Xiao.
"Go ahead and curse! Curse as much as you want!"
Anyway, our whole family works like donkeys at home from morning till night, and you've never been satisfied!
I'm unfilial! I'm unfilial today! Go find someone else who is!
From now on, you can pretend you don't have me as your son, and I'll pretend I don't have you as my parents!
Old Man Xiao, Old Woman Xiao, Xiao Yan, and Xie Yujiao were so frightened by Xiao Dayong staring at them like a mad bull, smashing the table to pieces with the stick in his hand. They didn't dare to breathe loudly!
It wasn't until the commotion got too loud and attracted the attention of the neighbors that someone pulled Li over and rescued Xiao Damei, who was rolling her eyes!
"What happened, Li? You're usually the most mild-mannered, why did you get into a fight with your sister-in-law?"
"The old woman next door asked."
"Oh dear! What happened to Peach Blossom?! There's so much blood!"
Then Li burst into tears.
She killed Peach Blossom!
My daughter!
My poor daughter! Not only do they treat her like a slave every day, but they even beat her up when things don't go their way!
Anyway, nobody in this family treats my mother and me like human beings~ Waaah~ I don't want to live anymore~
After saying that, Li slammed her head against the wall!
"Oh dear! This is terrible! Someone has died!"
Someone shouted, and immediately even more people gathered around!
Finally, someone who was clear-headed shouted out.
"Let's take Taohua and Li to Old Li in the next village for a checkup first. Maybe they can be saved!"
Old Li was the only doctor in the neighborhood who knew some folk remedies.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dayong finally regained his senses. He picked up Li Shi himself and had his two sons carry Tao Hua to Old Li's place.
Before leaving, he calmly addressed Old Lady Xiao and Xiao Damei.
"If Li Shi and Tao Hua both die, I won't live either, but I will definitely kill two people to pay for it!"
After being roused by a group of older women pinching her philtrum and slapping her face, Xiao Damei had regained consciousness. Hearing Xiao Dayong's words, she was so frightened that she wet herself! She crawled to Old Man Xiao and Old Lady Xiao, trembling as she spoke...
"Father, I... I didn't mean to! I just... I just kicked her lightly! Who knew that brat was so fragile! Mother, you have to save me!"
"Xiao Damei! What are you saying! Are you even human? That child's head is covered in blood, how could you say such a thing?"
Before the old couple could speak, an angry voice came from the doorway: Xiao Zhengde has arrived!
"Village chief! Help! Xiao Dayong is going to kill me!"
Xiao Damei crawled back and hugged Xiao Zhengde's legs, crying.
"Serves you right! Don't even mention Xiao Yi wanting to kill you, if it were me, I would want to kill you too. That's your own niece, and Dayong is your own brother. From childhood to adulthood, he has never mistreated you, his older sister, right? Now you have a family to support, and you're still eating Dayong's food! How could you be so heartless as to lay a hand on Taohua!"
How could my Xiao family have produced such a beastly creature like you!
Thinking of the miserable state Tao Hua had just encountered, Xiao Zhengde cursed for the first time!
Grandma Xiao had recovered by now, and she slapped her thigh and exclaimed...
"Uncle, you'd better keep an eye on Xiao Dayong, he's causing trouble!"
"Shut up! I've said it before, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh of my flesh. Even if I can't treat them equally, I have to treat them equally. But do you two listen to me?"
Everyone in the village saw that Dayong and Xiaoyi were both good kids. What did you two do? What did you take them for?
How old is Peach Blossom? Making others serve you like that, have you lost arms and legs? Are you all crippled?
When I have nothing to do, I pat my chest and think about it!
"At your age, you still haven't grown up!"
After finishing his rant, Xiao Zhengde didn't bother with the mess in the courtyard. He turned and left, instructing two young men to go check on Da Yong and help him if needed. Then he went home.
That's the good thing about the village; everyone is from the same clan. Although they usually gossip about this and that, when it comes to big or small matters, just a word from them is enough. As soon as Xiao Zhengde finished speaking, several young men chased after Xiao Dayong!
Since someone has gone, it's natural that they're also there to keep an eye on Xiao Dayong and make sure he doesn't go crazy. As for Old Man Xiao, Old Lady Xiao, and Xiao Damei, it's good to scare them a bit, so they don't cause any trouble!
But Grandma Xiao and the others had no idea about these things. When they saw that the village chief didn't care about them, they were so scared that they almost collapsed on the ground. It was the onlookers who hurriedly carried them to the house!
Xiao Damei's mother and the others dared not stay there any longer and fled back in a panic.
Xiao Yan didn't dare to act like a young mistress anymore. She slunk back to her room and hid. Thinking of Xiao Dayong's sinister look just now, she simply went out to get two vegetable buns and went back to her room, locking the door from the inside.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xie Yujiao followed Xiao Yan's example, picked up two vegetable buns from the ground, and went back to her own yard, supporting her back. She didn't forget to lock the gate and the house door tightly!
Although everyone usually loves to gossip and chat, they are all rural folks at heart, and the vast majority are kind-hearted. When they saw that something really happened to the Xiao family, they all offered their advice, telling the old couple not to be too biased. They also talked about how hardworking and filial the eldest son and his wife were, warning the old couple not to hurt their son's feelings.
But Xiao Dayong and his wife, who had already lost their hearts, were determined to turn things around this time, and no one could persuade them to reconcile with just a few words!
