When He Tu was dragged into the bedroom of his father-in-law and mother-in-law by Cheng Jiayi, Cheng Jiahua knelt on the ground tremblingly, lowered his head, and listened to Cheng Tielong's reprimand without saying a word. Cheng Tielong's face was pale, and his hands holding the stick were trembling. Mu Shi would have slightly blocked Cheng Tielong's reprimand before, but this time even she stood aside, hating the iron and looking at the son kneeling on the ground, and didn't even say a word of persuasion. He Di stood silently in the corner, looking at the scene in front of him expressionlessly, with a feeling of schadenfreude in his heart. She looked coldly at the expressions on the faces of everyone in the room, half-squinting her eyes, as if she was watching a play under the stage.

"Shut the door!" Cheng Tielong roared. Cheng Jiayi shuddered, hurriedly closed the door, shrunk his shoulders and slipped to Hedi's side, and stood still.

Only Cheng Jiaji was not in the room, Cheng Tielong thought that no matter how angry he was, today was also Jiaji's big day, and he couldn't spoil the atmosphere, so he asked Jiaji to stay in the new house with the bride, and called everyone else to his own room to prepare for a serious family meeting. And the theme of this family meeting is Cheng Jiahua, who is kneeling on the ground and shaking, and still doesn't understand what happened. When he saw that all the people had arrived and the door was locked, he got up from his armchair, struck a stick on the ground, and said sharply, "You have all seen what happened tonight!" The cause is this rebel who kneels on the ground! I'm going to show you today what happens when you gamble outside every day! After speaking, he picked up the stick high and hit Cheng Jiahua on the back. The people in the room gasped and turned their heads involuntarily, and even Cheng Jialong, who was sitting under the light reading a book, raised his head, glanced at it quickly, and turned his head unbearably.

"Dad! Father! Cheng Jiahua hurriedly raised his hand and grabbed the stick, so as not to hit himself, he shouted aggrieved and unjustly, "What did I do wrong!" Why are you hitting me? ”

"You still ask!" Cheng Tielong was extremely angry, and slapped him in the face with a snap of his hand, "You gamble outside every day, and it doesn't matter what kind of gambling you make, today you even chased the debt collector to your house!" The relatives in the yard, the people in the yard, those eyes have seen it! Today is still the happy day of Jiaji, you made Lao Tzu lose face and not say anything, you still hide outside, and let your daughter-in-law collect debts against those people with knives and sticks! Where has your conscience gone! Did you lose your conscience in the casino and lose to someone else! ”

Cheng Jiahua's eyes widened, and only then did he understand what was happening. He looked at his mother blankly, and when he saw that she was twisting her head, she didn't look at him at all, and turned her eyes for help to his wife and younger siblings. But they didn't look at him, as if he deserved it. Cheng Jiahua's body trembled even more, he weakly lowered his hand holding the stick, shrank on the ground, and didn't say a word. He knew in his heart that even if he defended himself at this time, it would only increase his father's anger, but Chen Ye had clearly promised that he would not involve his family, why did he talk so much and not count, and he actually broke into his house on such a happy day!

"I think you have something else to justify!" Cheng Tielong pulled the sleeves on his two arms hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Jiaye!" Come here, hold him down, if I don't break his leg today, I won't be surnamed Cheng! ”

Jia Yeyu hesitantly put down the book and stood up, he glanced in the direction of his mother, and saw that his mother glanced at him slightly, obviously not letting him obey his father's words. But looking at his father's angry blue face, if he didn't listen, he was afraid that he would anger his father even more, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Cheng Jiahua crying, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Dad, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, after you beat me last time, I really didn't gamble anymore!" I've been trying to make money to pay off my debts, but I don't know how those people came home, and I don't know! ”

Cheng Tielong didn't seem to hear his words, he still focused his eyes on Cheng Jiaye, and shouted, "Didn't you hear my words!" Hurry up and hold him down for me! ”

The room, illuminated by the dim light, was filled with a tense and frightening atmosphere. Cheng Jiayi had never seen his father lose his temper so much, even if he was as arrogant as her, he was trembling with fright, hugged Hetu's arm tightly, and shrank in the shadows behind him. He Tu looked at it coldly, and a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the sharp laughter suddenly filled the small room, attracting everyone's attention.

Cheng Jiahua wiped his tears, looking at his wife for some reason, Cheng Tielong frowned, and was also attracted by Hetu's sudden laughter, his anger suddenly became even more intense, thinking that this daughter-in-law was mocking himself, he slammed the stick in his hand on the cabinet next to him, and scolded: "What are you laughing at!" ”

"Dad!" He Tu retracted his smile and took a step forward expressionlessly, "A few days ago, my father once gave Jia Hua a sum of money without telling me, saying that he was going to pay off his debts, and when I was sick and feverish, the money my mother used to treat me was also in his hands. She stretched out a finger and pointed at Cheng Jiahua who was lying on the ground, "He lied to me and said that he had already paid off his debts, and the money for medical treatment was also used to make a cabinet, but when I asked the bald head today, the bald head told me that Cheng Jiahua had not paid back a dime." I had no choice but to take out the money I saved from my mouth and pay it back to him, but just a little money, I can't even reach it, Dad, for Xiao Yan's sake, if you don't teach him a good lesson today, I don't want to live anymore! With that, she threw herself on the ground, bowing her head and crying.

Mu Shi opened his eyes and stared at Hedi, wanting to stop her from speaking, but he didn't expect her to throw herself on the ground and cry like this, which made the whole family feel inexplicable and feel as if they felt guilty about her. If Jia Hua is severely beaten today, half of it is her fault, it seems that she will really have to be suppressed in the future, otherwise this little hoof will really have to be conceited to heaven. She turned her head and winked at Jiayi, wanting Jiayi to stop Hetu and stop her from crying. As a result, Jiayi just shrank in the shadows, staring blankly at his sister-in-law who was crying on the ground, not moving, and not noticing Mu Shi's eyes at all.

Some people may think that Hetu is making a show, and wants to punish this gambling husband with the help of his father-in-law. No one thought that she really felt angry and aggrieved at this time, even if her parents-in-law didn't help her just now, just watched coldly from the side, she couldn't help but say these words. She really couldn't bear it, since she knew that her father's hard-earned money was taken to gamble by the person kneeling in front of her, and sent it into someone else's pocket in vain, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, but the most infuriating thing was that she had nothing to do about it, it was useless to cry, it was useless to make trouble, and it was even more useless to fight, but she provoked his lies and his deception again and again. Maybe he did a lot of things that made people feel angry in places she didn't know, and what she knew now was just scratching the surface. When she fell on the ground and cried, she recalled the previous situation more and more, she felt sorry for her father, but she felt more sorry for herself, she felt sorry for herself for believing in him again and again, and she felt sorry for the hopes and expectations she once had in her heart, her shoulders kept shaking, tears almost soaked her clothes, crying breathlessly, at such a moment, she couldn't care about whether she would lose her self-esteem, whether it would make others look down on her, she just wanted to cry out loud and vent, otherwise she felt that she was really going crazy.

The originally frightened room was instantly filled with the sound of Hetu's crying, everyone was stunned, and Cheng Tielong was not surprised. He pursed his lips, the wrinkles on both sides of his nose deepened, and his thick eyebrows wrinkled almost together. It's not that he doesn't understand his daughter-in-law's suffering, and it's not that he doesn't know the harm of Cheng Jiahua continuing like this. It's just that he has a subconscious cognition from beginning to end, feeling that this matter has nothing to do with him. What kind of gambling his son has become, how much money he owes outside, and whether the debt collector will hurt him, this is Cheng Jiahua's business, as long as it does not endanger his own interests, Cheng Tielong does not want to care, and he does not want to care. For decades, he has watched Cheng Jiahua change from obedient and sensible to what he is now, his patience has long been exhausted by this rebel, and now that he has married his son and already has his own children, no matter what Cheng Jiahua does, he doesn't want to care. It's just that now they haven't separated yet, everyone still lives together, and everyone takes care of each other on face, that's all. The reason why he lost his temper so much tonight was mainly because the relatives in the courtyard had seen this farce with their own eyes, which not only made him lose face, but also might attract unnecessary gossip. He had had enough of such days, and he didn't want to let his family's reputation fall into that terrible whirlpool of rumors again. Tonight, he just wants to use this excuse to teach Cheng Jiahua a good lesson, and also give the rest of the family a dismount, if anyone dares to make trouble like this in the future, he Cheng Tielong is very resolute, either to death or to sever the relationship between father and son!

After a moment of silence, Cheng Tielong roared again: "Jiaye! Come and hold your brother! ”

Cheng Jiaye saw that his father's expression was even more gloomy, and the flames in his eyes were even more intense, so he didn't care about thinking about anything anymore, he hurriedly walked over, squatted down and pressed Cheng Jiahua's two legs, thinking that one step at a time, if his father beat him badly, the whole family would beg him together, maybe his father would forgive the eldest brother. Thinking so, although he held down Cheng Jiahua's two legs, he didn't exert much force in his hands, just to show Cheng Tielong.

Cheng Jiahua saw that his father was not joking, but really wanted to break his legs, and saw the third brother squatting down beside him and holding down his two legs, his whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and a panic that surged up from the bottom of his heart suddenly grabbed his heart, making him unable to breathe. He didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly hugged his father's leg and kept crying, "Dad! I know it's wrong! I really know it's wrong! ”

"Break your two legs, I don't think you can run outside to gamble!" Cheng Tielong scolded, then raised the stick in his hand and hit Cheng Jiahua's leg fiercely. This time it used all the strength of Cheng Tielong, and the stick hit Cheng Jiahua's leg, and suddenly made a loud muffled sound, which made the hearts of all the people in the room stop beating for a beat. Cheng Jiahua screamed miserably, as if he couldn't hold on, his face turned pale, and layers of sweat appeared on his forehead. Cheng Tielong didn't care, he raised the stick again and hit his leg hard, this time Cheng Jiahua didn't even have the strength to cry, and he threw himself on the ground and seemed to faint. Mu Shi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to grab the stick that Cheng Tielong fell for the third time, crying and begging: "Don't fight!" Don't fight! He fainted! ”

"Get out of here!" As soon as Cheng Tielong exerted his strength, he threw Mu Shi aside, raised his hand and waved the third stick again, at this time the door was knocked suddenly, the voice was violent and urgent, Cheng Jiaji shouted loudly outside: "Dad! Father! ”

Cheng Tielong's movements froze in mid-air, and he remembered that his new daughter-in-law was still in the yard, making too much noise, for fear that the newcomer's face would not look good. He looked down at Cheng Jiahua, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said hatefully: "Jiaye! Go open the door! ”

As if relieved, Cheng Jiaye hurriedly answered twice, stood up and ran to the door. The door was opened, Cheng Jiaji walked in, looked at the room with a nervous and worried face, and when he saw Cheng Jiahua lying on the ground, his eyes suddenly became dull, and soon, a panicked look appeared on his face, he hurriedly said to his father with a gloomy face: "Dad, Fanghe, she must come over to see you and my mother, so I will take her to ......" said, his eyes wandered over Cheng Jiahua again, with an unbearable look on his face.

Cheng Tielong glanced behind him, and sure enough, he saw his daughter-in-law who had lost her wedding clothes and heavy makeup. I saw that Fang He didn't even dare to raise his head, and followed behind Cheng Jiaji in fear, and he looked like he was being pulled hard. Cheng Tielong understood what was going on. He threw down his stick, sat down on a chair, and said to Musch, "Hurry up and get up." ”

Mu Shizheng was crying with tears on her face, and when she heard her husband's words, she hurriedly beckoned Jia Ye and Jia Yi, helped Cheng Jiahua, who was lying on the ground and was dying, and supported him to the chair. I saw that his eyes were closed, his lips were white, and he collapsed weakly on the chair, and if it wasn't for someone beside him, he was afraid that he would have slipped and fallen to the ground again. Mu Shi hurriedly beckoned Jiayi to pour a cup of hot water, held Cheng Jiahua's head, slowly poured it into his mouth, and kept pinching the person, trying to make him sober up.

Cheng Tielong held his forehead, barely slowed down the expression on his face, and asked Fang He, "Did it scare you today?" ”

Fanghe heard her father-in-law ask herself, hurriedly took two steps forward, shook her head, and said, "No, no." ”

"Today is a day of great joy for you and Kaji, something like this, alas." Cheng Tielong sighed, reached out and groped in his pocket, took out a small red envelope, reached out to her, and said, "Take it." ”

Fanghe raised her head and glanced at her father-in-law uneasily, then at her husband, and when she saw Cheng Jiaji signaling for herself to take it, she stepped forward to take it, and said fearfully: "Thank you...... Thank you Dad. ”

"It's getting dark, don't stand here either, go back to sleep." Cheng Tielong said again, closing his eyes tiredly.

Fanghe didn't say anything, just looked at her husband's face. Cheng Jiaji heard his father say this, and saw that Cheng Tielong didn't seem to have any intention of punishing the eldest brother anymore, so he hurriedly bent down and picked up the stick on the ground, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's go rest." ”

"Go, go." Cheng Tielong waved his hand impatiently, and Cheng Jiaji hurriedly took Fang He out. The door creaked, Cheng Tielong opened his eyes, and couldn't help but glance to the side, seeing that Cheng Jiahua was still unconscious and didn't wake up, and saw Hetu standing far away in the corner, with an indifferent look on his face, he felt very bored in his heart, waved his hand again, and said, "You guys go to sleep too." As he spoke, he looked back, as if he didn't want to see the faces of those people again.

Mu Shi hurriedly whispered, "Hurry up and help your brother back to the room." Jiaye and Jiayi hurriedly agreed, struggled to lift up the heavy body, and slowly walked towards the door step by step. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Cheng Tielong reprimand in a low voice: "If anyone dares to be like him in the future, I will not be so soft and merciful as I am today!" ”

Jiaye and Jiayi's hearts beat rapidly, and they hurriedly agreed, and then helped people open the curtain and go out.

Because I was busy in the kitchen all day, there was no fire on the stove in the bedroom, and when I opened the door and entered the house, I was greeted by cold air. Mu Shira turned on the lamp and rebuked dissatisfiedly: "Hedi! If you don't light the stove, do you want to freeze to death! ”

He Tu was following them, and when she heard her mother-in-law's words, she just raised her hand to wipe her face, and silently went to light the fire and make a stove. Mu Shi, Jia Ye, and Jia Yi helped the person to the bed and lay down, and pulled up his trousers to see how the wound was. At this look, Mu Shi's tears couldn't help falling again, and he saw that there were two thick bulging bruises on the calf, and when he reached out and touched it gently, Cheng Jiahua's body shook slightly, as if it hurt very much. She muttered in her mouth, constantly complaining that her husband was too ruthless, and he beat her son like this, complaining and complaining, she suddenly remembered Hetu's previous crying, and turned her face to Hetu, who was busy on the ground, and scolded sharply: "It's all your fault!" You didn't see what your dad was angry about! You still want to fan the flames, do you get the benefits by beating Jia Hua to death! You don't want to think about it yourself, if it weren't for Jiahua, you would have been expelled from our family a long time ago, and you still want to live here for the rest of your life, it's really beautiful! Every day, they are going to kill our family! ”

Hetu's hand was stuck in the air, and she saw that her expressionless face suddenly became distorted, threw down the charcoal in her hand vigorously, turned around and said loudly: "I don't have to stay at your house yet!" What's so good about your home! What a benefit did I get when I came! ”

Mu Shi thought about it a lot, but never thought that Hetu would talk back. She was stunned for two seconds, then stood up suddenly, pointed at Hetu and scolded, "You stinky and shameless bitch!" You're not rare, get out of here now! Get out of here with your baggage! Our family doesn't want you, we don't want you rotten bitch! ”

She trembled with anger, she clenched her fists, and suddenly cursed a series of piercing words in her mouth, her voice was sharp and sharp, like a murderous bat in the dark night. Jiazhi's mother was about to go crazy by Hedi's words, and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to cover her sister-in-law's mouth with all her might, and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Let's talk less! ”

Mu Shi is extremely angry, and Hetu is not. She pulled away Jiayi's hand vigorously, although her mouth was vague, she still kept talking, suddenly, she saw Mu Shi pounce on her, and then she received a cold but very hard slap on her face, and her left cheek was hot and painful, she was stunned, and her sharp voice stopped, looking at Mu Shi's twisted and terrifying face blankly, she couldn't believe that she would hit herself.

Mu Shi saw that Hetu stopped, and he had a chance to interject. She crossed her waist and cursed a series of foul language in her mouth, which was unbearable. Kaye tugged hard at her mother, whispering to dissuade her, trying to get her to stop. He hated foul language the most in his life, and when he heard it from his mother's mouth, he only felt very harsh. It's just that Na Mu Shi was triumphant, and he didn't listen to his son's dissuasion, and still scolded endlessly, as if he had learned all the scolding words of the shrew in the market, as if he wanted to say it all over again.

As if he hadn't reacted yet, he covered his face with one hand and stared blankly at the air in front of him. She has never been beaten since she was a child, and even her parents have never even scolded her lightly a few times, but at this time she was slapped by others, and she was stunned and immersed in shock and disbelief and couldn't extricate herself. Cheng Jia stopped talking about her sister-in-law, then put down the hand that was pulling her arm, and turned to persuade her mother. Mu Shi scolded refreshingly, then turned around and glanced at Jia Hua again, her eyes rolled, and she said to Jia Ye in a sharp tone: "Go, help your brother to your room, I'm afraid that if he sleeps here for one night, Ming'er may be killed by someone earlier!" As she spoke, she picked up one of Cheng Jiahua's arms, and kept motioning for Jiaye to help him up. After the noise just now, Cheng Jiahua has woken up, but his calf is very painful and has not fully recovered his spirit. He remembered the process of being beaten, and watched his mother quarrel with his wife in a daze, but he didn't understand what they were arguing about, and at this time he was helped up by his mother, and he just acted according to his mother's words and mother's movements, without the slightest opinion or plan of his own. When he crossed Hedi, he saw the conspicuous five finger prints on Hedi's left cheek and her blank gaze, and he felt that his mood suddenly became complicated, and a stream of sour water rushed up his throat, almost vomiting out.
