Old Mrs. Song is reborn; get out of here, you scumbag husband and illegitimate child!

Song Xianglan looked at Zhao Di, who was like a lump of mud, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Take good care of yourself at home these next few days. Once you've recovered from all your injuries, you'll have cleared your head of all that nonsense. You'll have learned your lesson and won't dare to have any improper thoughts about going to the commune."

She waved to the widow.

Widow Wang loosened her grip on her arm.

He wiped his hands on his cotton-padded coat in disgust, spat on the ground, and then stepped aside.

Wang Zhihe bent down and silently carried Zhao Di on his back.

"Godmother, I'll take her back first." Wang Zhihe's voice was muffled as he carried her out of the courtyard.

A night breeze blew.

The stench of blood assaulted my nostrils.

Zhao Di, who was lying on his back, coughed suddenly.

She was too weak to shout, panting heavily, her hands digging into Wang Zhihe's face, her nails digging downwards.

With a hissing sound.

Wang Zhihe felt a burning pain on his face, and beads of blood immediately seeped out.

He paused for a moment.

Keep going.

"Are you mute? You coward."

Zhao Di's voice was hoarse, yet it carried a hint of madness.

He spat directly onto Wang Zhihe's ear. "Wang Zhihe, that slap you gave me earlier was pretty powerful, how come you're acting like a dead dog now?"

"Men who beat their wives deserve to die."

Wang Zhihe's facial muscles twitched, and his steps became heavier.

"I must have had the worst luck in the world to marry you."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Di felt even more resentful.

She pinched his neck with her fingernails.

"If you were so capable, you could arrange a job for my brother from my maternal family so he could earn more money. Would I have to risk my life for such a small amount of money?"

Look at my second brother-in-law and then look at you, following that old woman like a dog, unable to even protect your own daughter-in-law.

Wang Zhihe felt as if someone had stuffed a handful of snow into his heart, chilling him to the bone.

He remained expressionless, letting the woman on his back scratch and claw at him.

By the time he entered his own courtyard, his face had been scratched into a mangled mess, with crisscrossing bloodstains that looked terrifying.

The lights were still on in the main room.

The Queen Mother was sewing the soles of her shoes.

Looking up and seeing her son's horrifying appearance, she was so frightened she nearly stabbed herself in the flesh with the awl in her hand. "What happened? Did they run into robbers?"

Looking again at Zhao Di on his back, she looked completely unrecognizable.

His face was swollen like a pig's head.

My hair is a mess and covered in dirt.

"mom……"

Zhao Di cried and snot streamed down her face. "The widow of King Song, together with that ugly freak and that ugly girl, beat me to death."

Wang Zhihe put the person on the bed in the room.

Without saying a word, he turned around and went to the kitchen water tank to scoop up some water to drink.

Zhao Di cried even harder, pointing at Wang Zhihe's retreating figure and cursing:

"Mom, look at your son. He watched as outsiders beat me and didn't even help. He even sided with that old hag Song Xianglan."

I just want to earn more money so that my family can have a better life.

That's my hard-earned money! Song Xianglan just withheld it like that; she's trying to drive our whole family to our deaths!

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother threw the sole of her shoe into the basket.

He rolled up his sleeves and stood up: "You dare to bully the Wang family? I'll settle the score with that old shrew."

"Mom, calm down," said the eldest sister-in-law, who had been sitting silently beside her.

The eldest sister-in-law walked over and stopped Wang's mother. Her eyes swept over Wang Zhihe's grimacing face, then glanced at Zhao Di, who was still throwing a tantrum, and she understood what was going on.

"Don't rush off. Look at Zhihe's face, all bruised. Even if Aunt Song had a strong grip, could she have scratched him like this? This is clearly..." The sister-in-law didn't finish her sentence.

...It must have been the couple who made it themselves.

The Queen Mother glanced at the fingernail marks on her son's face; they were indeed from a woman.

Wang Zhihe put down the water ladle and wiped the blood from his mouth.

He said coldly:

"Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. Nobody's bullying us. I'll handle this."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

"Where are you going so late?" the Queen Mother shouted.

"Find Zhou Fang." Wang Zhihe didn't even turn his head, his voice icy cold.

He was going to the Qiao family to get the money back.

Wang Zhihe had just left.

The Queen Mother immediately pushed open the door to the inner room.

Zhao Di sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her face with a wet towel, muttering curses under her breath:

"A whole family without a conscience, they deserve to be poor..."

As soon as her mother-in-law came in, she immediately changed her tune, "Mom, what time does the little one eat? What time does she fall asleep?"

She was most afraid of this difficult mother-in-law.

The Queen Mother, in a sinister manner, opened a drawer and rummaged through it.

"Did you give money to your family?"

Zhao Di quickly tried to shift the blame, saying, "It's...it's because Liu Chounu and Widow Wang don't like me and they ganged up on me."

Song Xianglan was biased and believed those two outsiders, so she confiscated all my money.

"Mom, do you think Song Xianglan wasn't up to any good either? She adopted Zhihe as her godson; I think she just wanted us to be her slaves without even feeding us."

The Queen Mother was always stingy with money.

These two sentences really got to me, and my temper flared up instantly.

He pushed open the door and rushed into the main room, yelling at his sons and daughters-in-law:

"That widow Wang is a real scoundrel. I always said widows attract trouble; she's been flirting with this man and that woman, and now she's even bullying us."

The second son was eating sweet potato porridge when he picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with his chopsticks.

"Mom, that butcher Song is not someone to mess with. Have you forgotten what happened to Yang Dashan? And what happened to Yan Ergou?"

Old Wang came in carrying a stove with freshly replaced coal briquettes.

"Although Aunt Song has a fiery temper, she does things methodically. I've never seen her bully any honest person."

"If Yang Dashan had replaced her own son, wouldn't anyone go crazy? Yan Ergou has done so many bad things, he deserves it."

The Queen Mother was furious.

"Zhihe's wife just wants to earn some money. I'll talk to her about it tomorrow. This is too much."

The older sister-in-law didn't reply. She put the stove down and patted the ash off her hands.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk to digest my food."

out the door.

The eldest sister-in-law went straight to the house of Widow Wang at the west end of the village.

Widow Wang's courtyard gate was tightly closed.

As soon as she stepped outside the fence, she heard Widow Wang cursing inside.

"Which despicable, filthy widow throws stones into a widow's yard in the middle of the night? If you're so desperate for a woman, go home and hug your old mother, or dig up your ancestors' graves and rub against their coffin lids."

"If you dare come again, I'll cut you up with scissors and feed you to the chickens."

Wang's eldest daughter-in-law was taken aback and looked into the shadows.

Then I saw a dark figure crouching in the corner, whistling a vulgar tune.

"Hey, Widow Wang, feeling lonely at night and looking for me..."

"Who's there?"

The older sister-in-law coughed suddenly, picked up a brick, and threw it at him. "Staying up in the middle of the night and pretending to be a ghost to scare people? Believe me, I'll yell for the police to stop this indecent assault right now!"

The dark figure was startled, not expecting there to be someone else there.

He cursed, then shrank back and slipped away.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Widow Wang opened the door a crack, trembling.

She plopped down on the doorstep and began wiping away her tears.

"You've come to laugh at me," Widow Wang said, her eyes red-rimmed. "I just wanted to earn some money to support my children, what did I do to deserve this? How can just anyone come and kick me while I'm down?"

Sister-in-law Wang's prejudice had lessened considerably.

"Who was that just now?"

"Those old bachelors in the village. And those with ulterior motives."

Sister-in-law Wang inquired about Zhao Di's matter.

"It's your sister-in-law, she's a real scumbag."

Widow Wang didn't hide anything and recounted how Zhao Di, in collusion with her brother's wife, had set a trap and robbed the money meant for the ugly girl.

Widow Wang was furious.

"I've never seen such a treacherous beast. He'd even throw away his shamelessness to support his bottomless pit of a family."

The sister-in-law was terrified.

That's suicidal!

"Sister-in-law, you're a sensible person too," Widow Wang sighed. "Your mother-in-law is clueless; don't follow her and make the same mistake."

Qiao Zhaodi moved all the money Zhihe earned to the Qiao family. The Qiao family not only didn't sell their daughter, but also wanted to exploit their married-out daughter like a bloodsucker.

The elder sister-in-law bid farewell to Widow Wang.

On the way back, I was so angry.

back home.

As soon as the eldest sister-in-law entered the door, she saw that Wang's mother was still there cursing and talking badly about Wang the widow.

"Mom, please stop scolding me."

The eldest sister-in-law glanced at Zhao Di's room and said, "You've wronged an innocent person."

The Queen Mother was taken aback.

"What did you say?"

The eldest sister-in-law leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and told her everything she had found out.

"What?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother slapped her thigh.

"She gave all the money to her good-for-nothing brother? And she even colluded with outsiders to swindle money from the villagers?"

The older sister-in-law added insult to injury:

"The scratch on Zhihe's face was from her doing this. Aunt Song was just standing up for Zhihe."

The Queen Mother felt a rush of blood to her head.

Although she was biased and looked down on her second son, he was her offspring.

Besides, the Qiao family swindled money from the Xiaoquan Brigade, making the Wang family the bad guys for nothing.

That spendthrift woman took the Wang family's money to fill the Qiao family's hole.

They even beat her son like that.

They still dare to treat her like a monkey when they come back.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she trembled all over. She picked up the half-basin of dirty water that the old man had just washed his face and pushed open the door.

"Mom, what's wrong...?"

Zhao Di was lying on the bed when the door was suddenly kicked open.

"Splash!"

A basin of dirty water was poured over Zhao Di's head.

Zhao Di screamed, her whole body soaked.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhao Di wiped the dirty water off her face, both shocked and angry.

"I'll give you a brainwashing." The Queen Mother slammed the basin on the ground with a loud crash.

"You treacherous, despicable bastard! Do you think I'm blind and easy to fool?"

You secretly gave all the money Zhihe earned to your good-for-nothing brother. Why don't you cut off a piece of your own flesh and give it to him as a snack?

"You swindled money from the villagers with outsiders, and you expect the Wang family to pay it back for you? I'll beat you to death today, you spendthrift!"

The Queen Mother picked up a feather duster from the corner of the wall.

He then proceeded to give Zhao Di a thorough beating.
