Chapter 343 The Unkillable Woman
"I only have one piece of clothing made of coarse cotton with a patch on it." Tian Guilan said as she looked down at the worn-out clothing on her body and couldn't help sighing.
"Cuihua got such good material to make clothes before she even got married." Her eyes were fixed on the cloth, her fingers were tugging at the corner of the clothes, her heart was full of indignation.
When I became a wife, I had never worn such good clothes. I was married into the family with only a few bags of grain. I worked hard in this family for decades, and my food was only slightly better than before I got married.
Zhao Cunliang was already very angry outside, and when he heard Tian Guilan nagging non-stop, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for many days suddenly erupted like a volcano.
"Are you regretting marrying into my Zhao family? If you regret it, then get out! I spent three bags of rice to marry you!" Zhao Cunliang's voice was deafening, as if it was going to overturn the roof. He stared at Tian Guilan fiercely, as if he was going to slap her.
When Tian Guilan heard this, she immediately started yelling, her voice sharp and piercing: "Why didn't you tell me to get out when I was a virgin? Back then, you were trying to please me in every way, saying sweet words to me non-stop!"
"Now that I'm old and my son is grown up and useless, you despise me?" Tian Guilan's voice was filled with tears, tears welling up in her eyes. She continued with a trembling voice, "I've worked like a slave for this family all these years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard. How dare you say such heartless words!"
"So you're saying that my Zhao family owes you something?" Zhao Cunliang's eyes widened in anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and his voice was as loud as a bell. "If I hadn't married you, you would have starved to death on the streets long ago. You wouldn't have the glory you have today!"
"Think carefully, everything you've eaten, worn, and used over the years—everything was provided by my Zhao family! And now you're spouting such ungrateful words!" Zhao Cunliang continued, gritting his teeth. "I work so hard outside, running around and working hard to support this family. It's fine if you don't understand, but you're still here, making trouble!"
"Zhao Cunliang, let me tell you," Tian Guilan trembled with anger, her voice shrill, "When I was young, I was the most beautiful girl in the village! Everyone in the surrounding villages knew how beautiful I was! Matchmakers had knocked on my door, but I never looked down on any of the wealthy families!"
"I was blind to marry you!" Tian Guilan yelled at the top of her lungs, tears streaming down her face. "I thought you could give me a lifetime of happiness, but I didn't expect to live such a hard life with you! I worry about food and clothing every day, and now I have to endure your anger."
Zhao Cunliang was furious and rushed forward to slap Tian Guilan in the face. His palm made a whistling sound and landed heavily on her face with a "slap".
"You shameless slut!"
Zhao Cunliang's eyes were red and seemed to be popping out, and he roared viciously.
"Do you want to go find Butcher Li? Dare you say I'm not strong? Let me tell you!" Zhao Cunliang gasped, with veins bulging on his neck. "The first urine in the morning must be mine!" He cursed and raised his foot to kick him hard.
"Today I will let you know what it means to regard your husband as your most important person!" Zhao Cunliang was like a wild beast out of control, with a ferocious face, and every word he said seemed to be filled with deep anger.
This time, Zhao Cunliang was completely furious, his long-suppressed emotions surging out like a flood. He vented all the pent-up anger and the humiliation he'd endured outside. In this family, he felt like the king of the world, and he couldn't afford to be a coward or let anyone look down on him.
So, he punched and kicked Tian Guilan madly, showing no mercy. The rain of fists and kicks all landed heavily on Tian Guilan.
Tian Guilan's miserable cries and painful pleas for mercy were heard from the room, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" But Zhao Cunliang could no longer hear anything at this time. All he could hear was his own angry roar.
The four older children, who had always been cherished by Tian Guilan, now stood in the yard, dazed. They stared at the shadow of their beaten mother in the window, the shadow twisting and swaying, accompanied by their mother's miserable cries. The four children, accustomed to this, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Dagui looked at his brothers and became a little worried: "Dad won't beat Mom to death, right?" His eyes were fixed on the window. If Mom was beaten to death, who would cook for him?
Guangzong bit his lip and said, "Dad once said, a woman who can't be beaten to death can't be dried up by the sun." There was a hint of ignorance in his eyes. It was common for his father to beat his mother.
Yaozu frowned and said, "Brother, mother has married you a wife, are you going to beat her?" Yaozu's eyes were full of confusion.
Guangzong nodded without hesitation and said, "Go ahead and hit her. There is no woman who doesn't get beaten by men." His expression seemed a little numb, as if it was natural for men to beat women.
……
Xiuying's sweet potato noodles have become a huge hit in the city, and their popularity is beyond imagination. Now, every three days, the villagers have to make a huge delivery to the sweet potato shop in the city.
Thanks to the sweet potato flour, everyone's finances gradually became more comfortable. Although only five households planted sweet potatoes at a time, the rest of the village was also busy.
The villagers helped the five families make sweet potato flour, from cleaning, grinding to production and drying. Their hard work was rewarded and everyone made money.
"Xiuying, we can't let you work in vain even if we sell our sweet potato flour in your store. We have discussed it and decided that each household will give you 5% of the profit from selling sweet potato flour." The village chief said sincerely, staring at Xiuying, observing her reaction.
Seeing Xiuying didn't respond, the village chief suddenly became worried and said quickly, "If it's too little, let's discuss it. Xiuying, don't think it's too little. We also decided it based on the situation."
Xiuying was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "No, Village Chief, I don't think it's too little. As long as the villagers are united, this is easy to deal with. I'm just wondering if our sweet potato noodle business is so good that it will attract jealousy from others and make things difficult for us." Xiuying frowned slightly, and a worried look appeared on her face.
The village chief quickly consoled her, "Xiuying, don't overthink it. What could possibly go wrong? We have so many people in our village, and we can all work together. Strength lies in numbers. Even if there really is trouble, we're not afraid. We can all work together to find a solution."
After hearing what the village chief said, Xiuying smiled slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in that smile, and she didn't say anything else.
