That night, she sat in the dark and waited for Cheng Jiahua for half a night. In a fit of rage, she could hardly think that if she only spent his own money and his family's money, she didn't care, but her father and mother were so frugal on weekdays, and they were reluctant to buy a bite of delicious food, and the money they saved was all hard-earned money, and he actually hid it from himself to pay off the debts he owed because of gambling. He thought it was incredible, and he felt that he was really dirty, so dirty that he had tarnished all that hard-earned money. What's more, they have been married for so long, and he owes debts outside, and she doesn't even know about it. If her father hadn't told her today, she really didn't know how long she would have been hidden. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't even sit still, she stretched out her ears to listen to the movement in the yard, and clutched a firewood stick tightly in her hand, as if she could have a seizure at any time.

The moon gradually rose into the middle of the sky, hidden by a thin layer of clouds, and the sparse stars around it scattered a faint light, almost invisible against the moonlight. Finally, there was a soft sound at the courtyard gate, and someone sneaked in quietly on tiptoe.

He got up from the bed and looked at the door through gritted teeth. I must not be able to sleep tonight, I was scolded by my parents-in-law, and she was going to make a fuss, the money should have been paid by them, and it was not her parents' turn. At the thought of this, her fists clenched tighter and tighter, staring at the door like a wolf about to devour people.

The door was gently pushed open, and the moonlight outside spilled in through the gap in the curtain that had been lifted, and a figure crept in, with the cold and the smell of tobacco and alcohol. He didn't move, and when he was fully inside, he jerked out his hand and lit the light bulb that glowed dimly.

Cheng Jiahua was obviously taken aback, he looked at Hetu blankly, he didn't react for a while, and after reacting, his expression became annoyed and angry, and he couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice: "What are you doing!" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost here! ”

He Tu sneered and said, "I also want to ask you what you are doing outside if you don't come back in the middle of the night!" ”

"What am I doing?" A hint of emptiness flashed in Cheng Jiahua's eyes, but he immediately returned to his original state, "What can I do, it's not for you mother and son to work hard outside." ”

"Are you really just working outside?" He Tu took two steps closer to him, sniffed his body, and said coldly, "You can still smoke and drink while working, your boss is really merciful." ”

"What do you know about a woman's family?" Cheng Jiahua impatiently crossed her and wanted to lie down on the bed, but suddenly, when he saw the firewood stick in Hedi's hand, he was stunned, pointed to the stick and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing with a stick?" ”

At this time, Hetu was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her stick high and roared in a low voice, "What am I doing with a stick? Look what I want with a stick! She slammed the stick down and whistled towards Cheng Jiahua's head.

Cheng Jiahua's face changed, and he hurriedly bent down and twisted around, dodging the blow, he stood up straight, grabbed Hetu's thin two arms hard, and roared angrily: "What the hell are you going to do!" ”

"Don't you know what I'm doing?" He Tu struggled to turn her head and stare at Cheng Jiahua, but because he restrained herself, she couldn't turn around, she struggled desperately, gritted her teeth and roared, like an angry little lion.

"You're really crazy!" Cheng Jiahua snatched the stick in her hand, threw it into the corner, twisted her arm, and pushed her the bed. He Tu fell the bed, propped up half of his body and looked at Cheng Jiahua hatefully, stretched out a hand and pointed at him tremblingly, and asked, "Did you take my father's money?" ”

Cheng Jiahua frowned, remembering the scene at Hetu's house a few months ago, so he nodded and said, "Yes, your father gave it to me, what's wrong?" ”

"Do you really have the face?" He Di almost cried, "Do you know how long my dad saved that money, and he was reluctant to buy it if he wanted to eat meat, and you used that money to pay off your gambling debts, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?" ”

Cheng Jiahua looked at Hedi, and his mind turned, and he probably understood what she was doing tonight. He was immediately relieved, and the whole person relaxed, sat on the sofa with a big grin, continued to unbutton his coat, and said: "Your father gave it to me, and I didn't force it, and I can't blame me for this." ”

Looking at Cheng Jiahua's appearance that he didn't care about anything, he was so angry that he almost fainted. She barely held on, her eyes blurred, and continued, "When did you owe so much gambling debt outside? Are you still gambling these days? You tell me! ”

Cheng Jiahua looked down at the coffee table, was silent for a few seconds, put on a broken expression, and said, "Yes, I'm betting, what's wrong?" ”

He Tu looked at him in disbelief, never expecting this sentence to come out of his mouth. She really thought that he had turned back to the shore and quit the stinky problem of gambling, and in vain she still had such a beautiful fantasy, imagining that a family of three would live a very happy life in the future, but now it seems that it is all delusional.

"You-" Hetu gasped for air, tears falling down his cheeks, "you might as well die!" ”

"I'm dead?" Cheng Jiahua sneered, "I'm afraid that your life won't be better if I'm dead." He stood up, approached Hetu, and looked at her condescendingly, "You think that the debt I owe is only me?" You are married to me, and you also have a share of this debt, and when I die, there will be one less person to repay the debt, and you are afraid that you will not be able to pay it back even if you sell yourself. He glanced sideways at Cheng Yan, who was sleeping behind him, and continued, "When the time comes, you will be a widow with an orphan, and I will see how you live." ”

Maybe there was an element of joke in his words, but he heard it and took it seriously. She almost fainted, but she clenched her fists, and her palms were poked with blood from her fingernails, so she didn't fall down. Who knew that the person next to the pillow had always held such thoughts, he owed those money, and he actually calculated that she also had a share to repay, so he was so justified and so unscrupulous. She looked back at her sleeping daughter with a shudder, and felt hopelessness in her heart, as if the sun would not rise tomorrow and everything would be shrouded in hellish darkness. Under such a sudden blow, she lost her mind, screamed and threw herself at Cheng Jiahua, waving her two hands wildly on his face, and grabbed two or three blood marks.

Faced with a woman who seemed to be crazy in an instant, Cheng Jiahua also had to start fighting back, not worrying about whether he would wake up his parents next door. He desperately tried to catch the woman who greeted him in the face, but she seemed to have the determination to burn the jade, and there were dead hands everywhere, and he couldn't catch her without ensuring his own safety. Finally grabbed one of her arms, and then her legs came towards his crotch, he had to let go of her in a hurry, and reached out to protect his crotch, but received a few more blows on the head. He roared, his voice hoarse, and tried to calm her with his voice, but she was like a shark in blood, and she became more agitated and ferocious. The two men were arguing and yelling, and almost all the things in the house fell to the ground, and it was a mess like a garbage dump. Cheng Yan, who was sleeping in the bed, was also woken up, and cried with his mouth open, the scene suddenly became worse, the voice was deafening, and it seemed to explode a thunder in the silent darkness.

The lights in the main room soon turned on, and Cheng Tielong hurriedly walked out with his coat on, looking into Hedi's bedroom. Mu Shi followed behind him, his face drowsy, and he didn't know why. The two men banged on the door of their room and shouted outside, "What are you two doing in the middle of the night!" Don't sleep noisy! Woke me up and your dad! ”

The room suddenly fell silent, Cheng Tielong and Mu Shi thought that the war was over, a sharp female voice sounded in their ears, accompanied by a scolding male voice, the door of the house was opened, Cheng Jiahua stood at the door and looked at his parents in embarrassment, the wound on his face oozed blood, which looked terrifying.

"Ouch hey! How did you catch it like this! Mu Shi suddenly became anxious, she hurriedly wanted to wipe the blood off Cheng Jiahua's face, but she was afraid that the wound would become inflamed, so she spun around in place. Cheng Tielong looked quite calm, he glanced at his son coldly, then looked at the messy floor inside, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing!" ”

Cheng Jiahua looked at his parents aggrievedly, and before he could speak, Mu Shi preemptively said: "Do you need to say this?" Look at Jia Hua's face, it's the woman inside who made trouble! I said how I felt especially annoyed to watch her today, it turned out that she was going to do such a heavy hand to my son tonight! She grabbed Cheng Jiahua's arm, asked him worriedly if it would hurt, and gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "We are fortunate to entertain her parents tonight, it seems that it is really delicious to feed the dog." ”

She said this in a low voice, and if she was heard by the Hetu inside, she might have to make a big fuss again. Cheng Tielong waved his hand impatiently and said, "What are you talking about as an old woman, it's just a little bit of Taoism in a woman's house." He pushed away Cheng Jiahua, who seemed to be about to cry, and walked inside, only to see Hetu's hair scattered in the gap between the wardrobe and the bed, holding his knees trembling, his face full of tears, very pitiful.

Cheng Tielong kicked away the things on the ground, walked to the sofa and sat down, pointed in front of him and said sharply: "Jiahua, you come over to me!" Cheng Jiahua trembled all over, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over. Cheng Tielong turned his gaze to Hetu again, his tone softened, but he still said sternly: "Hetu, you get up, come over and explain the truth of the matter with Jiahua." ”

He Tu raised his head and glanced at his father-in-law blankly, looked at his sword-like gaze, and involuntarily got up and stood in front of him with Jia Hua.

Mu Shi picked up Cheng Yan, who was crying incessantly, from the bed, shook and coaxed, but he gouged out his eyes a few times, rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of mess!" ”

Cheng Tielong touched the back of his head tiredly and said, "Say it." ”

Cheng Jiahua looked at his father and his mother hesitantly, but he couldn't say anything. Tonight was supposed to be his fault, and he wanted to find a reason to favor himself, but he couldn't find it in a hurry. He Tu turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, can you call the shots for me?" ”

"You said, as long as Jia Hua does something wrong, Dad will call the shots for you." Cheng Tielong looked at the two of them with a calm face, and there seemed to be no emotion in his words.

He Tu wiped the tears on his face, amplified his voice slightly, and said: "Cheng Jiahua has been gambling all the time, and he still owes a lot of money, and my father who is tired has to give him money to pay off his debts." Tonight I wanted to persuade him not to gamble anymore, but he scolded me and beat me, if I hadn't tried my best to protect myself, tonight, Xiao Yan and I would have been beaten to death by this person! ”

Cheng Jiahua's eyes widened, and he pointed at Hetu and said, "It's obviously you ......."

"Cheng Jiahua!" Cheng Tielong shouted loudly, so frightened that Cheng Jiahua's legs almost weakened, "Are you gambling again?" ”

"Dad, I ......" Cheng Jiahua timidly lowered his head, not daring to look at his father's eyes.

"How much do you owe outside!" Cheng Tielong asked again, and slapped the armrest of the sofa fiercely, as if the armrest was Cheng Jiahua.

Cheng Jiahua bit his lip and glanced at his mother in embarrassment, but Mu Shi seemed to be frightened by Cheng Tielong's reaction, so he just lowered his head and coaxed Cheng Yan and did not respond to Cheng Jiahua's gaze. He turned his head, took a few steps back cowardly, and said a number with trepidation.

Cheng Tielong stood up from the sofa suddenly, he lowered his head and looked for it on the ground, and suddenly saw the firewood stick, picked it up and hit Cheng Jiahua. Cheng Jiahua jumped to avoid the stick, while pleading: "Dad, I was wrong! I was wrong! Don't fight! ”

"You're still betting! Bet back! Cheng Tielong increased his strength and shouted through gritted teeth, "I didn't care about you when you gambled before, but now that you have a family and children, you still gamble!" If you gamble, you don't count, you still beat your wife! I'm going to discount your leg today, and I don't think you're going to gamble! ”

Seeing that Cheng Tielong really used his strength, Mu Shi was afraid that Cheng Jiahua would be injured, so he hurriedly stuffed Cheng Yan into the arms of Hetu, who was watching coldly on the side, stepped forward and pulled Cheng Tielong's arm, and persuaded: "Don't fight, the baby is wrong, you don't fight!" ”

Cheng Tielong shook off Mu Shi's hand and yelled at her: "It's all what you're used to!" If you want to do this once a day, I don't think he owes so much money outside! ”
