I just want to live in peace

Chapter 37 37. Think Clearly Before Domestic Violence

Ye Xiaodan walked to the yard, and stopped when she heard her husband's cry.Xixi followed her and turned to look at her father when she heard the sound.

Sun Xiangyang hurried to their side: "Xiao Dan, don't go, please."

Outside, it was already dark.There were a few small lights on in the yard, and the faces reflected by the lights were blurred.

Ye Xiaodan didn't look at her husband, and said softly: "Xiangyang, you heard what your parents said to me, do you think I can still stay here?"

Sun Xiangyang snatched the things in her hands and carried them by himself: "What my parents said is unreasonable, I can understand how hard you are. But, Xiao Dan, today is New Year's Eve, and every family is celebrating the Spring Festival. If you If you walk out of this house tonight, before tomorrow, people in the whole village will know, and they will laugh at my parents, and even me. I beg you, don’t look at my parents’ sake, but do this for me. Can you save some face in the village? You may not come to this village in the future, but I still want to go back to this village."

Ye Xiaodan looked back into the room with bitterness on his face: "Xiangyang, I want to live a good life with you. However, your parents don't look down on me at all. They always compare me with your younger siblings. In terms of education, I only have a bachelor's degree. , It’s really not as good as her doctoral degree. I have worked for more than ten years, and I only earn a few thousand yuan a month, which is not as good as her annual salary of one million. But, can parents compare children like this? They are all like your father Mom said, how should those people with low education deal with themselves? I still have a job now! They are so disgusted, if I don’t have a job, what should I do?”

"My parents are not very good at talking."

"Can't speak? Their hearts are growing out of place, right? With such father-in-law and mother-in-law, which family's daughter-in-law dares to be a housewife and honor them wholeheartedly?"

Sun Xiangyang was very helpless: "Xiao Dan, they are old, don't worry about them."

"They are only in their 60s! The average life expectancy of people is now in their 80s. Compared to others, your parents are still in their prime. It's okay if they don't do anything, and they are still full of ignorant feudal thoughts. That's not old. It can be explained."

"They are rural people with little culture, and we can't change their minds."

Ye Xiaodan was angry: "Sun Xiangyang! Can you clear your head? Not all rural people are ignorant. Many people I know are from the countryside, but they are not as vain, patriarchal, and Advocate that men are superior to women. What era is it now? You are still kidnapped by your parents' theory!"

"Ye Xiaodan! Don't say that about my parents!" Sun Xiangyang was furious, let go of the things in his hands, and clenched his fists.

in the house.Father Sun, Mother Sun, and Sun Xiangquan have been paying attention to the movement outside.

Grandma leaned against the window, heard the conversation between the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law clearly, patted her thigh and howled: "Oh my God! What is this called! Marrying an unfilial daughter-in-law, scolding her father-in-law Mother-in-law, my son doesn't care. What's the use of raising my son?"

Sun Xiangyang stood in the yard and heard his mother's words. His neck was throbbing with blue veins, and his breathing became short of breath.

Inside the house, Zhang Jing pouted at Sun Xiangquan.

Sun Xiangquan quickly opened the curtain and walked out: "Brother, aren't you trying to persuade your sister-in-law? Why are you two arguing?"

Sun Xiangyang stared at Ye Xiaodan, his clenched fists rattling.

Ye Xiaodan saw his movements clearly and sneered: "What? You still want to hit me?"

Father Sun's cold voice came from the room: "The beaten daughter-in-law kneads the dough, this woman has to take care of it.

Ye Xiaodan took a look into the room and looked at Sun Xiangyang: "Are you going to hit me?"

Sun Xiangyang's Adam's apple moved, and he let go of his fist: "No, how could I do anything to you?"

Sun Xiangquan smiled all over his face: "Sister-in-law, lend my brother ten guts, and my brother won't dare to do anything to you!"

Ye Xiaodan didn't look at him, but looked at her husband: "Xiangyang, there is a vulgar custom of beating women in your village. I also saw your father beating your mother with my own eyes. But, let me tell you, if you dare to touch my finger, I won't let you go." .Do you remember what I told you before we were married?"

Sun Xiangyang's expression was in a daze: "What did you say?"

Ye Xiaodan stared into his eyes: "I said, if you rape me after marriage, no matter whether you are drunk or not, I will not forgive you. I will beat you back a hundred times. When you are sober, in terms of physical strength, I can't beat you. But when you're asleep, I'll tie you up and beat you with a rolling pin. Don't you remember?"

Sun Xiangyang shook his head: "I don't remember. Do you still remember what happened so long ago?"

Ye Xiaodan said loudly: "Of course. So, you should also remember clearly that before you and your family beat Xixi and me, you must understand whether you will always remain awake and have strong physical strength in this life. Otherwise, I will return all the beatings to you. When necessary, I will call the police and go to court to sue you for domestic violence and intentional injury.”

In the room.

Grandma Sun heard it from the window, she stopped her wail embarrassingly, got up and went to the kitchen.

Father Sun also immediately quieted down, lit a cigarette, and stopped talking.

Zhang Jing and her daughter Mingrui looked at each other, pursed their lips, and suppressed a smile.

yard.

Sun Xiangquan persuaded Ye Xiaodan: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother have always had a good relationship. My brother is reluctant to do anything to you. He is not that kind of person."

Ye Xiaodan glanced at her husband: "It's better to explain the consequences clearly, lest he make irreparable mistakes on the spur of the moment."

Sun Xiangyang sighed: "Xiao Dan, I'm sorry, it's all my parents' fault."

Ye Xiaodan picked up the bag on the ground: "Xiangyang, you say sorry for them, but you also feel that I am not as good as your sister-in-law?"

Sun Xiangquan was startled when he heard this, touched his nose and hid aside.

Sun Xiangyang shook his head: "Xiao Dan, I have never thought about it this way. I am also inferior to my brother Xiang Quan, who earns a million dollars a year? And now I am unemployed and have no job. If I compare with them, am I better than you?" Pitiful?"

Ye Xiaodan remained silent.

Sun Xiangyang grabbed her arm: "Xiao Dan, I beg you, just stay at this house and leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"

Ye Xiaodan felt it was ridiculous: "Xiangyang, do you think I'm so disgusted by your parents that I can continue to get along with them? Continue to cook for them, continue to wash the dishes, and see their faces?"

"You don't have to do anything, just stay in the west room with Xixi." Sun Xiangyang begged, "Just leave me a little bit of a man's dignity, and save me from being gossiped by the villagers. Wait until tomorrow, and I will pay respects to the neighbors in the neighborhood." After the new year, I will drive you and Xixi back, okay?"

Ye Xiaodan nodded: "Okay, that's what you said. I don't care about your family's tribute to the grave. Tomorrow morning, Xixi and I will go back to the city." She pushed her husband and Sun Xiangquan away with all kinds of big bags. The hand who wanted to help called Shang Xixi to the Westinghouse.

Sun Xiangquan was worried: "My sister-in-law stayed. However, the meal still made her go to the Westinghouse. After a while, what will you have for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Sun Xiangyang was impatient: "Let mom do something casually."

"What are you doing? My sister-in-law packed all the vegetables she bought into the bag. Didn't you see that she and Xixi were carrying several big bags? At home, there is no meat or vegetables."

"Isn't there still cabbage at home? Cook the cabbage."

Sun Xiangquan was dissatisfied: "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, just eat boiled cabbage?"

Sun Xiangyang roared: "What do you want me to do? Our mother doesn't care about anything now, and your wife doesn't care about buying vegetables and cooking. The rice noodles and oil at home are all brought back from the city by Xiao Dan. Some are good to eat .” He hoped that his daughter-in-law could throw out some of the packed meals when she heard his cry, or even some raw fish and meat.
