Chapter 180 Do you want to vent your anger?
Lin Xiaotang said angrily, "Auntie, how could that beast beat you like this? There are so many wounds of varying depths, it must have been more than one beating. How long has he been beating you like this? Why didn't you tell my mother?"
With red eyes, Liu Cai'er choked up and said, "Your maternal grandparents don't care, not to mention your two uncles and aunts. They're only powerful at home and would never go to my husband's family to support me. Even my own family doesn't care. What can your mother do if she tells you?"
She had spoken to her mother in private, but her mother, wanting to continue to bribe the Xie family, advised her to endure it and not to mention it to her son-in-law.
Needless to say, her father was a complete slacker who never cared about anything. Whenever the couple had a disagreement, her father would immediately blame her and put all the blame on her. In their minds, since their son-in-law's family was rich, it was nothing for their daughter to suffer a little hardship and torment!
How capable must a woman be to avoid being taken advantage of by her husband's family if she has such a family background?
Lin Xiaotang thought to herself, "That's right. If a woman is wronged in her husband's family, her own family will definitely support her. But her maternal grandparents are too busy currying favor with their eldest son-in-law for a little convenience. How could they turn against their daughter, son-in-law, and in-laws for the sake of their daughter and son-in-law?"
Lin Xiaotang's anger surged. She said angrily, "Auntie, you've already given birth to two sons for that beast, and he still beats you all the time. Now he's even written a letter of divorce. How outrageous! Does he have another woman on the side?"
The abusive husband had been beating his wife for a long time and had a perverse possessiveness towards her. He would not easily divorce her. If he didn't have another woman outside, there would be no reason for Xie Laifu to suddenly divorce his concubine.
Mentioning this, Liu Cai'er trembled with anger. She said hatefully, "Tang'er is so smart. She guessed it right away. He's hooking up with a young and beautiful widow. That widow is pregnant with his child. Her belly is already showing. No wonder he looks down on me more and more and beats me to death. If it weren't for his parents thinking that I would bring bad luck to their family, why would he write a letter of divorce? He wants my life!"
That's it!
Xie Laifu had a new lover and looked down on his concubine even more, wanting her to make room for the young widow.
Judging from Xie Laifu's obnoxious and shameless behavior, his parents must be no saints either. His in-laws are all wicked people, which shows how miserable his aunt must have been before, and she and her parents had no idea.
After hearing about her sister's ordeal, Liu said indignantly, "Damn it! How dare he do such a heinous thing? Doesn't he fear retribution? Is there no law anymore? He beat you up like this, let's report him to the authorities and have him arrested and thrown in jail. We absolutely cannot let him get away with it!"
Tears streamed down Liu's cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hand. "If we arrest him and lock him up in jail, what will happen to the two children? When they grow up, which family will dare to marry their daughter?"
Liu sighed helplessly, not knowing how to comfort her sister.
Lin Xiaotang retorted, "Their mothers who gave birth to them have been abandoned by their fathers, yet they choose to stay at home instead of coming out with you. Such sons are unfilial, unprotective, and uncaring. Why do you still care about them? You're busy with this and that, but who has ever cared about you?"
Liu paused for a moment and said, "Tang'er, your aunt knows you're angry. You feel sorry for your aunt, but what woman doesn't live for her children after she gets married?"
Xie Laifu treats your aunt badly, and your aunt can tolerate it, no matter what he says or does, just pretending he doesn't exist. But your two younger brothers came from your aunt's womb; they are still young and don't understand. Your aunt can't just ignore them."
Lin Xiaotang was exasperated, thinking her aunt was truly foolish. Why should a woman have to live for her child?
If a child is obedient, well-behaved, and filial, then you can live for the child. But if a child is unfilial and even afraid of going hungry if they leave home with their mother, why bother caring about such an ingrate?
She immediately disagreed, saying, "Auntie, are you stupid? Their choice to stay proves that they've chosen that beastly father. They'll be with him, and their grandparents will take care of them. Why do you need to interfere?"
"But they are like this because of the influence of their grandparents and father..."
Lin Xiaotang felt that her aunt's ignorant ideas were deeply ingrained and could not be corrected in a few words.
Never mind, I'll reason with her slowly later. I need to let her know that women can hold up half the sky, that they don't have to be subservient and depend on others, and that women can rely on themselves!
She thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, that beast dared to bully you like this, don't you want to stand up for yourself?"
Liu Cai'er exclaimed in surprise, "Tang'er, what are you trying to do? Xie Laifu is a reckless person. Even if you are just a baby, let alone a child, if you anger him, he will still hit you. You are just a child, you must not do anything reckless just to avenge your aunt."
"Auntie, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."
That beast found a young widow, so let's investigate her background. Since she can seduce a married man, it proves she's no good either. A morally corrupt woman like that might not have only Xie Laifu as a man during her widowhood. If she had other men, things would be much easier to handle.
If necessary, use a little trickery to make them fight like dogs!
Even if the young widow only has Xie Laifu as her husband after she becomes a widow, she cannot be let off the hook. Those two scoundrels who dared to steal her aunt's man must pay the price!
She thought to herself that she and Xiao Jiu should find out about this secretly, because if her parents and aunt found out, they would definitely not approve.
Liu Feng'er said angrily, "Sister, are you just going to let that beast go because you're worried about the two children?"
Liu Cai'er took a deep breath and forced a smile that looked worse than crying. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "I can't beat him, and I can't let him go. What else can I do? Actually, it's good that Xie Laifu divorced me. I don't have to suffer from their family anymore, and I don't have to worry about getting a beating for saying something that doesn't please him."
Liu felt extremely distressed and wanted to hug her sister to comfort her, but she was afraid of hurting her sister's wounds, so she dared not hug her.
"Sis, why didn't you tell me when that beast hit you on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
Liu Cai'er thought to herself that telling her sister would be useless. If her sister questioned Xie Laifu, he would only beat her more severely when they got home. That's why she was afraid her sister would see it. At the time, she even pulled her sleeve to cover it up.
"It's the Lunar New Year, and I knew you wouldn't be able to stand it if I told you. You were pregnant then and couldn't get angry. I thought I could just tough it out and you'd never know. But I never expected him to divorce me so quickly!"
Liu was both touched and angry. "Sister, why did you keep this from me? We're sisters. You should tell me if something happens to you. Even if I can't stand up for you, I can..."
"What? You bought a house and moved to town without telling me. We're even, okay?"
Liu hurriedly explained, "Sister, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was afraid you would let it slip. You know what kind of people our parents are. We must never let them know about the money we make in business, and we must never let them know where our house is."
Yes, just because she married someone nearby, her mother often came to her house to beg for money. Her in-laws looked down on her, and her husband didn't like her either. Over the years, the whole family has been wary of her like a thief, afraid that she would bring things back to her parents' home.
She thought her younger sister was simple-minded, but she didn't expect her to be much smarter than her.
