She looked at Shao Cuifen with pleading eyes.
Shao Cuifen remained unmoved and said, "I'm afraid my daughter has begged you like this before. Did you let my daughter go?"
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and slapped her across the face.
Liu's mother struggled desperately.
Totally defeated.
He was practically cursing his daughter-in-law to death in his heart.
finally.
Cai Shaoyun arrived with Deputy Captain Zhou.
She called out to Yunling and asked what had happened.
Before Yunling could speak, Wang Xiuyun stepped forward and said, "My mother-in-law often hits and scolds me, and my husband doesn't protect me either. When my family found out, they were very angry and hit him a couple of times. It's nothing serious."
Deputy Captain Zhou's brows were so furrowed they looked like they were about to trap a fly.
There are so many things to do every day.
The captain is cunning; he always hides.
Looking at Liu's mother's miserable state, he twitched his lips. This was nothing serious.
Sure enough, the next second Liu's mother cried out, "I was at home sewing shoe soles today when my mother-in-law and three other people rushed up to me, pinned down my son and me and started hitting us. They were really cunning, hitting us in places where we couldn't be seen."
She cried out, "Vice Captain, you must stand up for me! Are we, the people of Yunxi Brigade, just going to let others bully us?"
Since we've already torn each other apart, why bother with all the pretense and saving face?
Although Liu's mother looked pitiful, Zhou Yan wouldn't believe anyone's one-sided story.
I asked other people as well.
Figure out the whole story.
I never imagined that someone who looks kind and gentle would abuse his daughter-in-law behind the scenes.
He asked Cai Shaoyun to bring several female comrades to examine Wang Xiuyun's injuries.
Seeing this, Liu's mother frowned. Why was she favoring that barren daughter-in-law again? She squeezed out her tears and cried louder and louder.
It's like losing your mother.
The more Shao Cuifen looked at it, the more unlucky she felt.
How could she have been so blind to choose this company?
Qian Xiuduo lingered up to the vice-captain and, in a voice he could hear, said to Liu's mother, "It's not about who cries the loudest or who's right. Besides, you've bullied my sister for so long, how dare you cry? Crying, crying, crying, are you mourning a funeral..."
"Xiuduo." Shao Cuifen glared at her youngest daughter.
You could not possibly say that.
Will I get married in the future?
She glanced at the people in the courtyard and felt a sense of despair.
The youngest daughter's reputation for gentleness and virtue was now completely disbelieved.
Qian Xiuduo pouted and muttered, "I didn't lie. It was she who bullied my sister."
The person who was checking Zhou Yan's body also came out and nodded to him with a heavy expression.
They had lived for so long and had never seen a woman with so many injuries.
New wounds plus old wounds, densely packed together.
Qian Xiuduo brought her pitiful-looking sister, whose eyes were red, to her side.
She questioned, "Captain, what do you suggest we do? Although my mother and I hit her, we are willing to pay for her medical expenses, but what about the beatings my sister suffered?"
Zhou Yan looked bitter and resentful.
He was too embarrassed to ask for forgiveness from Liu's mother.
This is really going too far.
If the daughter-in-law is wrong, just teach her properly. Why do you have to take advantage of her just because she seems easy to bully?
It's clearly bullying the poor.
He looked at Shao Cuifen and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Shao Cuifen looked at her daughter and asked, suppressing her anger, "What do you want? You two should separate or get a divorce?"
Wang Xiuyun looked at Liu Tiezhu with cold eyes, devoid of any affection.
Shao Cuifen understood and said, "Divorce, but you have to compensate my daughter one hundred yuan."
"No!" Liu's mother screamed.
Divorce is out of the question!
A hundred yuan in compensation is unacceptable!
She said angrily, "Since your daughter married into the Liu family, she belongs to the Liu family in life and in death."
Shao Cuifen spat directly in the old woman's face and cursed, "The People's Republic of China has been established for so many years now, and you still insist on those old ways. Your thinking is distorted. You should be arrested and reformed."
Qian Xiuduo nodded in agreement and said, "The new China advocates freedom of marriage and freedom of divorce."
“Yes, divorce,” Wang Xiuyun said, mustering her courage.
She really didn't want to stay in this house anymore. She was living in fear every day, and one day she would go crazy.
That would be even worse for her family's reputation.
Liu's mother was furious, but dared not say anything rashly, as she knew that certain aspects were strictly controlled in this era.
She looked at her son.
Liu Tiezhu looked at Wang Xiuyun with pleading eyes and said, "I know I was wrong. I will protect you from now on and never let you be bullied again."
Wang Xiuyun didn't believe it at all. Anyone can say nice things, but whether they actually do them is another matter.
Moreover, her mother-in-law had a falling out with her family today, was beaten, and lost all face. If she continues to stay, she will be bullied openly and secretly.
She turned away, gripped her sister's hand tightly, and refused to look at Liu Tiezhu, the man she used to like but who now utterly disappointed her.
Liu Tiezhu walked over and tried to hold Wang Xiuyun's hand, but Qian Xiuduo slapped it away with a crisp sound.
He felt the pain in his hand, and looking at his cold and indifferent wife, he gritted his teeth and knelt down.
With a hint of pleading in her voice, she asked, "Xiuyun, what will it take for you to forgive me? As long as you ask, I will try my best to do it."
"I swear I will never let you be bullied again, and my mother will never hit or scold you again."
Liu's mother quickly added, "Daughter-in-law, from now on, if you tell me to go left, I will never go right. Let's get along well as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After you have another big, healthy boy, I will take good care of the child for you."
