The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.
Du Wanchun heard the sound and looked up to see a woman with gray hair beating her aunt with a club.
Her aunt held her bruised head and cried for mercy, "Mom, I know I was wrong, please stop beating me!"
But the woman refused to give in. She stretched out her hand and pulled Du Damei's hair hard, spitting on her face, "I asked you to come back so late last night! Are you trying to cheat on me while my son is not at home!"
Du Damei's face was full of tears, and her voice became hoarse, "Mom, I didn't cheat on you, I just went to my niece's house for dinner."
But the woman picked up the club and was about to hit her again.
Du Wanchun strode forward to stop her.
However, Aunt Zhou was quicker than her. She snatched the club from the woman and said sternly, "Aunt Cao, how can you beat your daughter-in-law like this in broad daylight!"
This woman is Du Damei's mother-in-law, Mrs. Cao.
Mother-in-law's surname is Cao. Several generations of men in her family were live-in sons-in-law. It was her turn to give birth to two sons, so she treasured them very much.
The ancestors of her family had been county magistrates. They usually looked down on the villagers and liked to be arrogant.
So she didn't like her daughter-in-law who came from a poor peasant family.
Especially because this daughter-in-law hadn't given birth to a son or a daughter for more than ten years, she disliked her even more.
But everyone in the Cao family knew that it was actually Du Damei's husband who couldn't have children.
But Mrs. Cao still blamed Du Damei for this.
Du Damei thought that if she adopted her brother's daughter, her mother-in-law would treat her better. But she scolded her again, saying that if she wanted to adopt, why didn't she know to adopt a boy, and what was the point of raising a girl who was a loss of money.
Her eldest son was born with no roots and couldn't have children, and her second son was even worse. He got married and followed a rich businessman in the county and didn't come back for several years.
Now that she adopted a girl, it was considered that she had no descendants.
There were rumors in the village that this was because the county magistrate of their Cao family's ancestors used to favor boys over girls, so he got retribution and had no descendants.
Many people advised Cao that a daughter would be fine.
Unfortunately, Cao didn't listen. The more she saw Du Damei, the angrier she got. In the past, she only beat and scolded her once every two weeks, but now she beats her every two or three days.
Yesterday, she just came back a little late, but she was pulled up and beaten early in the morning.
The little baby in the room was still crying in bed because of hunger.
When Cao saw Aunt Zhou, she angrily said, "It's not your turn to intervene in my family's affairs!"
Aunt Zhou pulled up the wounded Du Damei and protected her behind her, and said to Cao seriously, "If I don't stop her today, she will be beaten to death by you!"
Cao snorted coldly, "A hen that doesn't lay eggs can be beaten to death! I'll let my son marry another one."
Aunt Zhou had never seen such a shameless person, and couldn't help scolding, "Aunt Cao, even if Du Damei is your daughter-in-law, you can't You are not qualified to beat her like this!"
Cao disagreed and said angrily: "She called me mother, so I am qualified to discipline her. But you, a widow, are showing off in our family!"
After saying that, she turned around and saw Du Wanchun, "This is your new silly daughter-in-law! Take this silly girl and get out of here!"
Du Wanchun saw that her aunt who had loved her since she was a child was beaten all over her body. She couldn't help but clench her fists. She frowned slightly and walked forward slowly.
At this time, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy.
A thunder exploded with a bang.
Everyone present was startled.
Cao looked up at the sky, then rushed forward impatiently, trying to pull Du Wanchun, "Get out of here!"
However, she had just taken a step when a thunder in the sky happened to hit her feet.
There was a loud bang.
Cao was so frightened that she lost her balance and fell directly into the swill bucket on the ground.
