Chapter 138 Even the most cowardly man has his pride.
Zhang Kaiju was trembling with anger, but he was powerless against Zhang Changyao.
His neck stiffened, his jaw clenched, and he looked like he was about to have a seizure.
"Father! Father! Don't worry, I'll go right away, right now."
Seeing that he was about to cause trouble, Zhang Changyao quickly jumped to the ground to help Zhang Kaiju up.
Zhang Kaiju finally released the breath he had been holding in after Zhang Changyao knocked on him a few times.
"Zhang Changyao! Zhang Changyao! Take a stick and go with him. Your older brother can't bear to hit you, so help him."
Old man, even if I'm useless, I'm still better than your eldest son.
"Only when the wife seduces another man and drives someone to suicide do people think to discipline her."
Liao Zhi, furious that Zhang Kaiju had called him a piece of trash, yelled at Zhang Changyao.
Startled, Yang Wuni quickly ran over and covered his mouth with a half-washed rag.
"Pah! Pah!"
Liao Zhi pushed the rag out with his tongue, but inevitably swallowed two mouthfuls of the rag-washing water.
"Liao Zhi, keep your voice down. Don't you want to stay in this house anymore?"
Zhang Changyao was most afraid of his father; if that old man got angry, he might actually abandon you.
Yang Wuni wiped her hands and covered Liao Zhi's mouth with her hand.
"Hmph! Foolish filial piety!" Liao Zhi squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Liao Zhi, our rural areas are very different from your city."
There are people who beat their fathers and curse their mothers, but they are all scoundrels who are not afraid of being gossiped about behind their backs. No good person would dare to do that.
The old man is a scoundrel. At worst, people will say he's senile. Don't blame him; he won't live for many more years.
The children are helpless; we can't afford to offend them, so we can only stay far away.
Yang Wuni stood with her hands on her hips, mimicking her father's carefree attitude.
He gestured to Liao Zhi to indicate the name, but Liao Zhi couldn't see it and laughed from the sound.
Zhang Changyao walked slowly, wanting Zhang Changguang to fight a little longer.
"Young man, are you watching a play? Can you hurry up a bit?"
Zhang Kaiju couldn't wait any longer and grabbed Zhang Changyao's arm.
"Dad, you go first. I went down to the river yesterday to retrieve Sister Guimei."
My pants pockets weren't completely dry yet; I couldn't walk too fast, or they'd chafe my inner thighs.
Zhang Changyao shook off Zhang Kaiju's outstretched hand, walked with his legs apart, and slowed down even more.
Zhang Kaiju glared angrily at Zhang Changyao, but he was helpless against him.
He quickly made his way on his short legs and ran towards Zhang Changguang's house.
"Changguang, quickly loosen the corn, the two children are watching."
She's already made a mistake, so as long as she doesn't repeat it, right?
Look at little Douzi, he's lost his mother, isn't he pitiful?
Zhang Kaiju entered the courtyard and went to untie the rope binding Sui Yumi.
"Dad, we've already tied him up, so let the villagers see that the Zhang family still has a conscience."
"Don't let people say we killed Sister Guimei and then acted like nothing happened, ruining the whole system."
As Zhang Changyao entered the courtyard, he pulled Zhang Kaiju aside, forbidding him to move.
Zhang Kaiju also felt that Zhang Changyao's words made some sense, so he leaned against the wall and stopped caring about the matter.
Zhang Changyao looked at the defiant corn clinging to the pole and felt a surge of anger.
Just as Yang Wuni said, Zhang Changguang didn't even brush off the dust on the corn.
It turns out that Zhang Changguang just wanted to put on a show for his neighbors.
He shouted loudly, but his hand, when he struck, felt light and weak.
Zhang Changyao recalled the words that Yumi had said to him when they returned from the riverbank, and a plan suddenly came to him.
He turned and ran out of the yard, shouting at the top of his lungs throughout the village.
"Everyone come and see! My older brother almost beat my sister-in-law to death."
Nobody can stop them! Everyone, please go and help!
After Zhang Changyao shouted this, those who were initially too embarrassed to watch the commotion all dropped what they were doing and ran out.
In no time, Zhang Changguang's house was surrounded by a crowd.
No one would try to stop the fight; everyone was there to see how Zhang Changguang was beating his mistress.
Zhang Changguang stared blankly at the crowd, at a loss for what to do.
Once Zhang Changyao saw that most of the people had arrived, he squeezed in and secretly took the two children out.
I took Guiye and Guibao to the convenience store and bought them candy.
Having found himself in a difficult situation, Zhang Changguang gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and lashed out with the tree branch in his hand.
"what!"
"Zhang Changguang, you bastard, how dare you hit me?"
The corn stalks emitted the screams of a pig being slaughtered and stabbed.
The curses he was spewing made Zhang Changguang's blood boil.
Without hesitation, another scream rang out from Yumi.
"Good... Changguang, you're a real man. A woman like that will be unruly if you don't discipline her for three days."
"Changguang, well done! One hit is still a hit, so hit him a few more times and make us men proud."
"Hit her! Don't stop... She's driving people crazy by keeping a lover, and she still doesn't know how to repent."
…………
The men in the crowd were shouting and cursing, one after another.
Zhang Changguang, who had suppressed his emotions for years, felt a surge of exhilarating pleasure as he listened to Sui Yumi's screams.
Unable to control himself any longer, he lashed the corn cob with the branch again and again.
"Hey corn, I'm asking you, do you know you're wrong? Still messing around with other women? Tell me!"
Zhang Changguang pointed at the corn with a stick that was only a handful long.
"Pooh!"
"Zhang Changguang, as long as you don't divorce me, I'll cuckold you."
I'm going to follow every man in the village, let's see if you can beat me every day.
Every single one of you in the Zhang family, young and old, is a good-for-nothing.
I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't cheat on you.
If you've got the guts, kill me today. Otherwise, I'll go out and seduce men tomorrow morning.
I've brought a man to the bed, and you, you bastard, will serve him."
Following Yumi's arrogant spit, Zhang Changguang was met with no sign of remorse.
"Brother, here, this stick will help you."
If you break both of her legs, let's see how she'll run around outside.
Yesterday, my second brother used a stick this thick and broke the trunk of the tree in one go.
"It's better for her to stay bedridden and paralyzed than for her to run off with someone else and leave her child without a mother!"
Zhang Changyao left the two children at the convenience store and ran back.
Hearing what Sui Yumi said, I knew that she was wearing thick clothes and hadn't been hurt.
He picked up the thick stick used for beating pigs at the gate, went into the yard, and handed it to Zhang Changguang.
"Changyao, this..."
Zhang Changguang looked at the thick stick in his hand and cowered.
"Scare her a bit, make her back down, these people are watching."
Zhang Changyao whispered in Zhang Changguang's ear.
Even the most cowardly man has to save face. Zhang Changguang took the stick and got all worked up.
"Sui Yumi, don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced me to do this."
I'll break both your legs. I'd rather support a paralyzed man than let you go out and run brothels.
Zhang Changguang raised the stick, his words harsh, but his hand wouldn't come down.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I saw my second brother hitting my eldest brother Guanshu yesterday."
In an instant, with a "snap," it was folded neatly.
Even if you break your leg, my older brother won't dislike you. At worst, I'll have Wu Ni help you take care of the children.
As long as you stay obediently on the kang (heated brick bed), you'll still be a member of a complete family.
Brother, what are you waiting for? Stop dawdling, be steady, accurate, and ruthless.
"If you get a full refund without any discount, you'll not only suffer, but you'll also have to spend money on treatment." Zhang Changyao loudly urged from the side.
"My son, how did you end up like this?"
I asked you to mediate the fight, and you're taking sides. Are you afraid things will get out of hand?
Zhang Kaiju was about to kick Zhang Changyao, but Zhang Changyao pulled his buttocks back, and Zhang Kaiju missed his kick.
