I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

Yao Xing ran all the way to Zhujiawan and went straight to his brother-in-law's house, with Yao Hongbing chasing after him until he was breathless.

He kicked open the gate to the Zhu family's courtyard and found Zhu Xiaohu squatting at the doorway smoking.

Upon seeing Yao Xing, he stood up in fright, his face filled with panic and helplessness.

Yao Xing rushed forward and punched Zhu Xiaohu in the face: "What the hell did you say when you married my sister? That you'd treat her well? Is this all you've got? You, Zhu Xiaohu, are you taking advantage of the Yao family because you think we're invincible?"

Zhu Xiaohu's face stung with pain, but he didn't try to retaliate. He stammered, "I... I didn't hit her. It was my dad who overturned the table and burned her."

"Zhu Xiaohu, you listen to me! You bullied my sister, I'll kill your whole family!"

The frail Yao Xing, with the fierce glint in his eyes, could kill Zhu Xiaohu.

In the city, Yao Xing kept a low profile, but back in the countryside, he became that scoundrel and devil again.

With a commotion inside, Zhu Xiaohu's father, Butcher Zhu, came out.

"Yao Xing, what are you doing? You actually came to my house and beat up my son! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Zhu the Butcher used to be a butcher, but during the political movement, it was forbidden to slaughter pigs privately. He would help the brigade slaughter pigs during festivals, but everyone still called him Zhu the Butcher.

"Butcher Zhu, your mother's brother is the most powerful. If Zhu Xiaohu dares to bully my sister, I can beat him up. What, you're not happy about it? If you're not happy, come and hit me."

Butcher Zhu had a face full of fierce flesh, which would frighten even children to tears.

Yao Xing wasn't afraid of him; he would fight anyone who bullied his sister to the bitter end.

"Yao Xing, don't you dare act tough. You think I'm afraid of you? Your sister can't even give birth to a son. Who cares? If you do, take her home. My son will marry another one tomorrow."

Butcher Zhu put his hands on his hips and said fiercely.

"Is it only my sister's problem that she can't have a son? Look at your useless son, he's utterly worthless, he can't even protect his wife and daughter, is he even a man?"

As Yao Xing cursed, Zhu Xiaohu lowered his head. It wasn't that he didn't care about Tao Hua, but that he was afraid of his father.

"No matter how useless my son is, he's still my son. If your sister is so capable, why don't you give birth to one? Get out, get out of here, and let your sister die in her parents' home and never come back."

"Your dad used to be the brigade secretary, all high and mighty, but now he's nothing. Do you think I, Butcher Zhu, am afraid of you? Karma! You, Yao Xing, were so capable, but you still got fired. Bah! Only your family would do something so despicable!"

You, you actually insulted my dad and me too! I'm so angry! Yao Xing grabbed a stick from the corner of the wall and was about to hit Butcher Zhu.

Yao Hongbing hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Yao Xing, don't hit him! He's Sister Taohua's father-in-law. If you really hit him, how will Sister Taohua ever go home again?"

Beat, beat, beat that unreasonable Zhu to death...

Yao Xing swung the stick and struck Zhu Xiaohu hard, causing him to scream in pain.

You can't hit your elders, but you can hit their son, right?

"Yao Xing, you bastard, if you have the guts, come and hit me! What kind of person hits my son?"

Enraged, Butcher Zhu also went to find a weapon, but Yao Xing swung his stick and struck Zhu Xiaohu indiscriminately.

So, Yao Xing hit Zhu Xiaohu, and Zhu the butcher chased after Yao Xing with a stick. Yao Hongbing hugged Zhu the butcher and broke up the fight.

When Tao Hua arrived, Zhu Xiaohu was being beaten by Yao Xing and was howling in pain. Zhu the Butcher was also yelling in anger. Yao Hongbing was desperately holding onto Zhu the Butcher, saying, "Uncle Zhu, calm down, calm down..."

This fight? What's going on? Zhu Xiaohu was really scared and pleaded, "Yao Xing, stop fighting, stop fighting, my dad won't dare to bully Tao Hua."

Enraged, Butcher Zhu cursed, "Yao Xing, you little bastard, I'll kill you!"

"If you kill me, I'll kill your son."

Yao Xing got tired of hitting him, put away the stick, and was panting heavily.

Yao Hongbing couldn't stop Zhu the Butcher any longer. Zhu the Butcher took a stick and hit Yao Xing. Tao Hua stood tall and stood in front of Yao Xing, saying, "Dad, you despise me? Fine, I'll divorce Zhu Xiaohu."

"Dad, I don't want a divorce..."

Zhu Xiaohu cried out in sorrow.

"Get divorced, get divorced right now, and go back to your mother's house," Butcher Zhu said with disgust.

Yao Xing pulled back the peach blossoms, staring blankly at Butcher Zhu, and said, "Me, the dignified director of a disinfection factory, am I afraid I can't support my sister? Fine, we'll get a divorce after the New Year. Sister, there are plenty of good men in the city. What is Zhu Xiaohu anyway?"

After saying that, he pulled Tao Hua away, and Yao Hongbing quickly followed. Breaking up the fight was exhausting.

The courtyard fell silent. Butcher Zhu looked at his cowardly son and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger: "Look at you, you coward!"

Then he asked, "What did Yao Xing just say?"

"Say it, say it's a divorce..."

"Not that sentence."

"He wants to find a man from the city for Tao Hua. Dad, Tao Hua and I are doing just fine, why are you interfering?" Zhu Xiaohu cried sadly.

"What's so good about it? He can't even have a son, what's so good about that? Yao Xing seemed to be talking about the disinfection plant manager?"

"Yes, Peach Blossom said that Yao Xing was expelled from school, but he had a benefactor in the city who helped him become a factory manager."

"Why have I never heard you mention this before?"

"After my father-in-law was dismissed, you kept making things difficult for him, so who dared to mention it?" Zhu Xiaohu said, looking aggrieved.

"Is it really true that the disinfection plant manager is here?" Butcher Zhu asked thoughtfully.

Back home, Yao Sixi heard that his in-laws had bullied his daughter, and he was so angry that he wanted to go to the Zhu family to settle the score again, but Yao Xing stopped him: "Forget it, Dad, I beat Zhu Xiaohu badly. If we go again, we'll be in the wrong."

"Butcher Zhu, you son of a bitch! When I was the brigade secretary, you were in charge of slaughtering pigs for the commune. You even took the pig's head home with you. I was just dismissed from my post, and you're already bullying my daughter!" Yao Sixi cursed angrily.

"Sister, I've never seen a father-in-law bully his daughter-in-law in all the miles around. What are your plans for the future?" Yao Xing asked.

"Xiaohu is an honest boy, but his father, well, he's very fierce."

Aunt Yao sighed and said that Peach Blossom lowered her head and wiped away her tears, and she didn't have any opinions of her own.

"Sister, come to the city with me. I'll arrange a job for you at the disinfection plant," Yao Xing said sincerely.

"But, but if I go to the city, Zhenzhen won't be able to see her father anymore," Peach Blossom hesitated.

"Sister, times are changing. Women don't necessarily have to rely on men. Women in the city all have jobs and can manage their own households. Your husband is weak and can't protect you. Butcher Zhu is strong and ruthless. If he bullies you once, he'll do it again. Come with us and put them to the test. If your husband cares about you and Zhenzhen, let him go to the city. I can also arrange for him to get a job in a factory."

"I think Yao Xing is right. Tao Hua, your brother is the factory manager, and he's quite influential in the city. We'll go to the city, your mother can take care of the children, and you can go to work and earn money. Having your own money is better than anything else."

Yao Sixi puffed on his cigarette, looking at his son with satisfaction. This family, his son had stood up for himself.

"Zhenzhen, do you want to go to the city?" Aunt Yao asked her grandson in her arms.

"Yes, I want to stay with my grandparents. Grandpa is so fierce, I'm scared..."

The simple phrase "I'm scared" broke Peach Blossom's heart. The child grew up in fear, becoming increasingly timid.

"Father, Mother, I'll listen to you, I'll go to the city."
