Chapter 94 -94: Bruised and Swollen Face

Second Su only now noticed that her husband, Su Chenghe, had grown so thin that his eye sockets were sunken in, and his clothes hung loosely on his frame.

Then she remembered her sister-in-law’s family with their well-fed, rounded bellies. Today when she had visited, she had even bought them a piece of meat, yet before she could even smell it herself, her parents and sister-in-law’s family had driven her out.

At this thought, Second Su burst into tears and hurriedly reached out to pull her husband. “Dad, don’t be angry, I know I was wrong.”

“What’s the matter with you, Second?” Brother Lu and his elder sister-in-law came in upon hearing the commotion, looking at their thin, red-eyed brother and his gasping, sobbing sister-in-law.

And also their two frightened nephews crying loudly on the floor, he sighed, “What’s the point of arguing, just talk it out nicely, please don’t start hitting each other.”

“Xiao Dong, Xiao Chun, let’s go, we’re going to your uncle’s house for dinner. Let your mom and dad have a good talk.”

Inside the room, the woman’s sobs were interspersed with the man’s heavy breathing.

“Chenghe, don’t be angry, I know I was wrong, please talk to me. I’ll definitely get the money back, don’t give me the silent treatment…”

Su Chenghe abruptly withdrew his hand and said hoarsely, “If it can’t be taken back, we’ll get a divorce.”

“Also, from tomorrow on, I’ll leave you 10 yuan, and I will keep the rest.”

Second Su looked at her husband lying on the kang bed, ignoring her, and covered her mouth to cry again.

Next door

“Dad, what happened? Chenghe actually lost his temper?” Eldest Sister-in-law Su’s face was alight with the gleam of gossip.

Brother Su, annoyed, turned over, “Who cares, why are you getting worked up? Just make sure our kids are alright.”

“Heh, you deadbeat, can’t even let a person say a word?”

…

Early the next morning, Su Chenghe gently coaxed his two sons, readied the passbook, and paid a visit to his parents.

Second Su, watching her husband walk away without turning back, wiped away her tears, feeling unbearably miserable.

Seeing their second son’s red and swollen eyes, the old couple felt so sorry for him. Aunt Su walked in and immediately took out 200 yuan.

Seeing the money his parents gave him, Su Chenghe paused, “Dad, Mom, I can’t take this, how can I accept your money?”

“Take it, buy a bicycle with it. Just consider it a loan from your mom and me, you can pay us back once you get your wages.”

Aunt Liu Fen, frowning, forcibly stuffed the money into her son’s hand, “Don’t worry, your dad and I will keep the passbook safe for you. Go on now, don’t miss your bus.”

And so, Su Chenghe, with a heavy heart full of complicated feelings, returned to the Provincial City with the two hundred yuan his parents had given him.

Aunt Su only felt a buzzing in her head with anger, wondering how they ended up with such a spendthrift daughter-in-law.

“Aunt, just look at Cheng He, scrimping on food and clothing every day, and any bit of money he has he spends on his wife and children.

His wife, on the other hand, lent the money to her natal family without batting an eye, a thousand yuan, that’s a thousand yuan.

Do I even need to mention the character of her family? They say it’s a loan, but they never intended to pay it back. How many marinated goods must my younger brother sell to earn that back?”

Aunt Su sighed, the niece-in-law’s behavior was really deplorable.

—

“Mom, Dad, little brother, Cheng He knows, he knows! Please return the money to me, otherwise, Cheng He is going to divorce me.”

The Wang family parents looked at each other, silent.

Wang Xiaodi’s sister-in-law immediately objected to returning the money, arms akimbo and eyes slanted with defiance.

“Elder sister must be joking. We’ve got to take care of our parents and children, where would we get the money from?”

“Besides, wasn’t the money a filial gift to our parents? How could you ask for it back from your brother? That really makes no sense.”

“Mom, Dad?”

Second Su was stunned. She turned to look at her own parents, only to see that the old couple had their heads down in silence, seemingly agreeing with the sister-in-law.

“Mom, Dad, little brother, didn’t you hear? If I can’t get this money back, Cheng He is really going to divorce me!”

Wang Xiaodi snorted, “Just divorce, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like Su Chenghe dares to do it, and even if he does, it’s no big deal. If it comes to it, little brother can help you find another man.”

“Exactly, what your brother said is right. Su Chenghe is just trying to scare you,” Old Lady Wang agreed with her son.

Second Su’s pupils dilated in shock, unable to believe that these were her own dear brother and parents, who always wanted the best for her.

“You… you… are simply inhuman. Not only do you not wish me well, you even encourage me to get a divorce?”

Only then did Second Su truly see these so-called family members for what they were, her eyes red enough to bleed, she shouted.

“Pay back the money! Give me back my money!”

The sister-in-law rolled her eyes and spat, “Pah. The food that’s gone into my belly, you think I can spit it back out for you, dream on.”

“You idiot, what are you still doing standing there? Go and throw your eldest sister out.”

“You dare!”

…

Second Su was beaten up by her own brother and sister-in-law, and thrown out of the house, her entire body aching terribly.

But as soon as she thought that she was on the brink of divorcing her husband just because of this pack of heartless and ruthless family members, she immediately stood her ground with her messy hair, hands on her hips, cursing out loud.

After attracting the curious stares of the neighbors, she counted on her fingers, listing all the terrible things the Wang family had done.

…

Provincial City Bus Station

Aunt Liu Fen glanced at her swollen-faced younger daughter-in-law and frowned.

“With such severe injuries, instead of resting at home, you insist on coming along; what were you thinking?”

Second Su’s lips quivered as she murmured, “I came to see my man.”

Aunt Liu Fen sighed and said no more.

“Eh? What happened to Cheng He’s wife? It couldn’t be from fighting with Cheng He, could it? That can’t be right?”

Mrs. Lu exclaimed as she was hanging diapers in the yard.

“Hey, his Little Aunt, I’m going to find Cheng He first, have him come over at noon, and then I’ll tell you about it when I get back.”

Mrs. Lu nodded, “Okay, elder sister-in-law, you go ahead.”

“Cheng He’s wife, you should go inside and rest.”

“No need, no need. Little Aunt, you go about your business, don’t mind me.”

Having said that, Second Su nervously stared at the gate.

Mrs. Lu saw this and did not bother her anymore, instead, she exchanged a knowing look with the Little Aunt.

When Susu returned riding her bike, she suddenly saw a person with a bruised face sitting in the yard and was startled.

“Second sister-in-law.”

“Oh, sit down, Cheng He’s wife, take a seat.”

Noon

As soon as Su Chenghe entered the yard, he saw his wife with a bruised face and frowned so deeply as if he could have caught flies with his brow.

“Who did this? Wang Xiaobao or your dad?”

Upon seeing her husband return, Second Su nervously handed over the money pouch that dangled from her neck.

Very carefully, with a nervous expression, she said, “Cheng He, I begged and refused to leave until I got the money back from my parents. Can you not divorce me?”

Su Chenghe looked down at the stack of scattered money and frowned.

“Don’t worry, dad, I’ve counted it, not a penny less.”

Su Chenghe sighed and took the money, “Enough about that, what happened?”

Talking about this, Second Su proudly lifted her chin.

“They refused to give me money and even beat me and threw me out. I couldn’t take it and cursed them so loudly the whole neighborhood knew.

If they wouldn’t give me the money, I threatened to make a scene at their factory. Afraid of losing their jobs, my dad and younger brother finally scraped together the money and paid me back.”
