Chen Jia Dalang said excitedly: "What misunderstanding? My sister married into your Li family and worked like a slave for decades without even a decent coat. I don't know how much hardship she has endured over the years!"
Li Youshou was supported by his son when his wife's family came. Listening to the accusations of his wife's family, he felt even more bitter and unbearable in his heart. The remorse and apology accumulated in his heart finally burst out. He suddenly shook off his son's hand and slammed into the wall!
Li Yan suddenly shouted, "Stop him!"
However, everyone's reaction was a step too late. With a thud, Li Youshou hit the earthen wall of his house and fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked. Li Wenjian immediately helped his father up from the ground. Looking at his father's bloodied face, Li Wenjian said to his uncle with deep sorrow, "Uncle, do you really want to force my father to death? Mom is more miserable than any of us without Dad. Last time, I earned some money from selling fruit and went to town to buy Mom a new coat! Our family is just poor..."
After saying this, he began to cry silently. This man in his thirties had his spine bent by the reality of life. He worked hard all year round and often went hungry, just like an old man in his forties.
Chief Li quickly stepped forward, stopped Li Youshou, who was struggling to get up and about to hit him again, and scolded him, "The children are suffering enough! You are adding to their troubles!"
Then he ordered the woman beside him: "Go get a basin of hot water and help clean the wound and stop the bleeding!"
Patriarch Li sighed and said to the Chen brothers, "Thank goodness it was a house made of adobe! It only scratched a few skins, thankfully no one was killed!"
This sudden change also scared everyone in the Chen family. They were just holding their breath in their hearts. Their sister had lived a very hard life in the Li family over the years. She didn't even have a single day of peace and quiet, and now she's gone!
Patriarch Li stepped forward and continued to persuade: "Brother Chen, these are your sister's closest relatives, the people she cares about most in this world. Let's send her off properly and stop making a fuss!"
The eldest brother of the Chen family turned away sadly and said, "Never mind, could it be that he really forced his sister's children to death?"
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!
People came one after another to pay their respects. Aunt Chen's married daughter heard that her mother had passed away, but she didn't have the chance to see her for the last time. The two of them lay in front of their mother and cried bitterly.
Their family wasn't well off, and they hadn't bought anything for their mother in recent years. The more they thought about it, the sadder they felt! It took a lot of consolation from the aunts to calm them down!
The accident happened on the second day. According to custom, a married daughter has to take a piece of her mother's clothes back from her parents' home to keep as a souvenir in the future!
Aunt Chen already had a few decent clothes when she was alive, and the new coat that Li Youshou bought for his wife that day was liked by both daughters.
The homes of the two sisters were both damaged in the snowstorm, and both of them wanted this new coat!
The two sisters grabbed their mother's coat and secretly exerted some strength! Perhaps it was because their hands were too strong, or the fabric was too low-quality, but with a ripping sound, the brand new coat was torn in two. The two sisters were stunned! Everyone present stared at this sudden situation in confusion.
I saw a lot of reed catkins wrapped in brand new cotton clothes pouring down, and the reed catkins scattered all over the sky with the cold wind.
Li Youshou was about to get angry when he saw his two daughters destroying their mother's belongings, but when he saw the reed catkins floating out of their cotton-padded clothes, he was so shocked that he froze in place!
The Chen brothers' suppressed anger erupted again: "Great, great, great! You Li family are so kind, you let my sister wear such a warm cotton coat in such a snowy weather? You can't wait for her to die sooner!"
Li Youshou was speechless at this time. He could only stand there in a daze, staring at the torn cotton coat. Was it really him who caused his old wife to pass away?
After two days of sleepless nights, the old man was so exhausted that he fainted!
For a moment, there was chaos and calls, screams and cries echoed over this dilapidated farmyard!
