157 Protective Family (2)
Li Hongmei looked at Shi Bangqing in a daze. She said in a daze, “You… you hit me?”
Disappointment appeared in her eyes.
“Shi Bangqing, how dare you hit me?” Li Hongmei, who had returned to her senses, immediately roared at Shi Bangqing, ” You good-for-nothing. Not only did you not protect your woman when she was bullied, but you even hit and bullied me. Boohoo… I, Li Hongmei, really fell for a good-for-nothing like you.”
Shi Bangqing looked at his raised palm in a daze. Even he found it unbelievable. Why did he hit Li Hongmei?
Shock and heartache flashed across his eyes. Just as he was about to comfort Li Hongmei and apologize to her, he saw Li Hongmei shouting at him. His gaze swept across the villagers watching the show and he noticed their mocking expressions and mocking smiles. His face turned red, and his expression was filled with shame and anger.
Such a Li Hongmei made him embarrassed in front of others.
He had always thought that Li Hongmei was a gentle and understanding person.
But Li Hongmei, who was shouting at him now, had such a ferocious and terrifying expression. How could she be the woman who made him fall head over heels in love?
Shi Bangqing, who had lost face, shouted angrily at Li Hongmei, “Shut up! I’ll deal with you when we get home!”
Li Hongmei, who was shocked, looked in disbelief.
She widened her eyes and roared, “Alright, Shi Bangqing, you’ve grown a pair. You actually dare to treat me like this. It’s fine if you don’t protect your woman when others bully her, but you actually dare to hit me, shout at me, and join forces with outsiders to bully me. Let me tell you, I can’t live like this anymore.”
With that, she turned around and left.
But when she left, she brought those things with her.
The villagers who had watched another good show were speechless.
As expected, the pot matched the lid!
This woman was indecent, and Shi Bangqing was not a good person.
That made sense. If Shi Bangqing was a good person, he would not have divorced his wife after not sending a single cent back for a few years.
Shi Bangqing’s matter had already become the joke of the entire village.
Seeing that Li Hongmei was about to leave, Shi Bangqing didn’t know if he was afraid of losing or if he really loved Li Hongmei. After seeing the strange gazes of the surrounding villagers, he immediately ran out to chase after her.
Li Hongmei and Shi Bangqing ran away, leaving a group of people to continue watching.
The gossip of Shi Bangqing’s family ended.
As if it was just a small interlude, Shi Lidong quickly followed his two brothers to knock on Liu Sanxiu’s courtyard door.
Liu Sanxiu, who was in the courtyard, turned pale when she heard the commotion outside.
Old Man Shi finally walked out of the house. He glared at his wife and asked sternly, “What did you do to make Shi Tietou so angry?”
Liu Sanxiu’s eyes flickered. She said in a panic, “I… I didn’t do anything. I just said that his granddaughter is a vixen. I just said that she’s a vixen. I didn’t kill or set fire to their family. She actually came to our family like this. Hmph, they’re too much. They’re bullying our family just because they have more people.”
Old Man Shi’s face darkened as he said angrily, “Don’t you know that their granddaughter can’t be provoked at all? I’m afraid she’ll cause trouble at home. Let me tell you, quickly apologize.”
Liu Sanxiu said indignantly, “I just said that she’s a vixen. They made a mountain out of a molehill. Hmph, they actually mobilized a lot of people to seek justice from me for an outsider.”
Old Man Shi heard the knocking sound outside become more and more intense. He was afraid that they would really knock open the courtyard door and he would have to spend money to repair it in the future. He glared at Old Lady Shi and was about to open the door.
Liu Sanxiu was afraid that Lai Jiaoying and her daughters-in-law would really hit her, so she immediately stopped him. “You can’t open the door! If you open the door, they’ll come in and hit me!”
“If you don’t open the door, they’ll break it. If this door is broken, are you going to take out money to repair it?” Old man Shi glared at her.
“I… I don’t have money!” Liu Sanxiu said nervously. “Isn’t that woman rich? Let her pay to repair the door. Hmph, if she wants to be our daughter-in-law, how can she not pay if she doesn’t work? If she doesn’t work and doesn’t pay, I’ll beat her to death!”
Actually, she still had some savings.
All these years, Yuan Chunjiao had been taking care of everything relating the family. Whenever they needed money, Yuan Chunjiao would think of a way. Even if they bought a needle, Yuan Chunjiao would pay for it. They had never spent a single cent. Then, when the New Year passed, she would give them some pocket money.
After a few rounds, there were at least a few thousands.
It was more than enough to repair a door.
“Shut up!” Old man Shi shouted angrily. “Will she take out the money?”
Old Man Shi felt stifled when he thought of the woman his son had brought back.
Before her son got a divorce, Li Hongmei had promised them so much.
Whether it was the work in the field or at home, she would have to do it all like Yuan Chunjiao. Moreover, she would give them five hundred dollars a month to spend.
It was precisely because this condition was too tempting that they did not hesitate to work with her to chase Yuan Chunjiao away.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Chunjiao had just divorced her son in the afternoon when she revealed her true colors at night.
When she actually instructed their son to cook dinner, their son was still smiling happily. The two of them were so angry.
What had their precious son done since he was young?
Besides, could a man do the kitchen work? That was all done by women.
When the two old men asked her to cook, she sneered and said, “Heh, your son is willing. If you don’t want your son to cook, you can do it yourself. Anyway, I don’t know how to cook.”
Shi Bangqing happily said that he was willing to cook.
However, after dinner, the two of them put down the bowl and entered the room, never appearing again.
The next morning, the bowls and chopsticks were still piled on the dining table.
Old Man Shi was furious.
Old Lady Shi went to Shi Tietou’s house early in the morning to cause trouble. When she returned, she saw that not only had she not made breakfast, but the dishes on the dining table had not been washed. She immediately scolded.
That woman was not someone who would swallow her anger.
After she retorted Old Lady Shi, they started fighting.
The two men had their heads in the sand.
In the end, Old Lady Shi wanted to go to the Yuan family village and Li Hongmei wanted to go to the county city, so the fighting stopped.
Who would have thought that Old Lady Shi would not stop for a moment?
After returning from the Yuan family village, she actually provoked Shi Tie Tou.
Now that they were going to smash their door, Old Man Shi couldn’t hide his head in the sand anymore.
Just as Old Lady Shi stopped Old Man Shi from opening the door, their door was knocked open.
Looking at the group of people standing at the door, Old Lady Shi immediately hid behind her old man and looked around, her eyes filled with panic.
