Chapter 142 Su was beaten
Her family was not only short of cloth, but also of some food and daily necessities, so they had to buy a lot of them. Now their Li family was no longer what it used to be, and they couldn't be like those lowly villagers, who had nothing to eat all day long.
Jiang came back and spent all the ten taels of silver. She bought enough materials for Old Man Li, Old Lady Li, Jiang, and Jiang's two children to make two sets of clothes for each of them.
I bought the most ordinary materials for Li Laosan, Su Shi, Daya and Erya, and even said that if I bought too good materials, you would not be willing to wear them. This kind is better because it is convenient to work with and does not easily get dirty.
Daya was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. She wanted to go find Jiang, but was stopped by Su.
"Forget it, Daya, your fourth aunt is right. Even if we were given good material, we wouldn't be able to wear it out. I think this is fine."
Daya stomped her feet in anger and ran out. Fourth Aunt was obviously bullying her. Couldn't her parents see that?
"Why is Daya in such a bad mood now? It's good enough that she has clothes to wear. Why is she so picky?" Li Laosan said in a reproachful manner as he watched Daya walk away.
Su was unhappy with this. Jiang bought good things for herself, but bought them this kind of coarse cloth. She was actually unhappy in her heart. The reason she said that was because she didn't want to make her daughter angry.
Unexpectedly, Li Laosan started to blame his daughter.
"Children of the Jiang family have to wear fine clothes, but my children do all kinds of work but can only wear coarse cloth clothes. What's the logic? We do the work and they enjoy the benefits, so should we do hard labor for them?" For the first time, Su shouted at Li Lao San because of the unfair treatment she received in the Li family.
"You are simply unreasonable. We are all family, how can we be so clear about the division?" Li Laosan was stunned. He did not expect Su to say such a thing. His face was full of disbelief. It's just a piece of clothing, isn't it?
When did Su become like this? Was it because he had been working as a farmhand away from home for many years and didn't understand her, or was it because of something else?
"It's not me who can tell the difference clearly, it's them." Su thought of everything that happened over the years, and tears of grievance could not stop flowing down. Because of her cowardice, how much suffering and pain did her two daughters endure?
But in Li Laosan's eyes, he thought that it was what he should do. Should it be? No, it absolutely should not be.
The noise from the third room alarmed Old Lady Li in the upper room. She stood outside the door, listening to their conversation inside the room. The more she listened, the gloomier her expression became.
You are so good, Su. You look honest and simple, but I didn’t expect that you have so many tricks in your mind and even dare to question her.
Old Lady Li was so angry that she kicked the door open and walked in. When she saw Su, she pointed at her face and yelled, "Are you going to imitate that little whore Sun? You want to piss me off to death so that I can die and you can take over the family. Look at what you look like. My Li family treats you well and you still complain about this and that."
She turned to look at Li Laosan and said viciously, "Laosan, divorce this woman today. I will marry you another wife, an 18-year-old virgin. With the current conditions of our Li family, you can marry anyone you want. Let her starve to death on the street."
When he heard that he wanted to divorce his wife, Li Laosan panicked. He and Su had been married for many years and had feelings for each other.
Even if Su did something wrong, she wouldn't be divorced.
"Mom, Su and I are living a happy life, and we have two daughters. I will not divorce you." Although Li Laosan is filial to his mother, she is his wife, and they have been through thick and thin together for many years. Now that life is getting better, he cannot divorce her. Wouldn't he be criticized behind her back?
Su looked at Li Laosan in panic, and only felt relieved after hearing what Li Laosan said.
She has been married to the Li family for many years and seldom goes back to her parents' home, because her brother and sister-in-law are very powerful and she has nothing to show for her when she goes back.
Every time she goes back, she is always looked down upon. If she is divorced and sent back to her parents' home, she wonders how her brother and sister-in-law will treat her?
"She hasn't been able to lay an egg for so many years. What's the use of you having her? What's wrong with asking her to do some work? She has such a noble status, but she can't do any work. My Li family will not keep idle people." Old Mrs. Li continued to spit and howl at the top of her voice, looking like she was going to eat someone.
Su was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Li Laosan, not daring to look at Old Lady Li, let alone talk about fairness or unfairness.
But how can she hide? Old Lady Li has always kept her daughters-in-law under her control. Now Sun is no longer under her control. If Su follows her example, Old Lady Li will be so angry that she will die.
After a few words, Su was so scared that she hid behind Li Laosan. Old Lady Li became even more excited and rushed forward to hit Su.
Su was so frightened that she dodged left and right. Fortunately, Li Laosan tried to protect her. Despite this, Su's hair was still grabbed by Old Lady Li, who beat her all over the face with her other hand and kicked her hard from time to time.
After years of oppression and even though he was treated so unfairly, Su didn't dare to fight back and just kept begging for mercy and avoiding the enemy.
The house was suddenly in chaos. The noise and Su's desperate pleas filled the entire Li family's courtyard.
The upper room was quiet. Old man Li sat on the main seat, puffing on his pipe, as if he didn't hear anything.
Jiang was in her room, lying at the door and listening carefully to the noise outside, with a scornful smile on her lips. She really deserved it.
Finally, Mrs. Li got tired of beating him and stopped, still cursing: "You little bitch, for the sake of my son, I'll let you go this time. If you dare to do it again, I will sell you to a human trafficker and send you to a brothel, where you'll be a whore who is fucked by thousands of men."
"Third brother, if this woman doesn't listen to me, you must beat her. Beat her hard. My Li family doesn't support people who live off the table for free." Seeing Su's miserable appearance at this moment, Old Lady Li left with satisfaction.
At this time, Su was lying on the ground, with not a single healthy spot on her body. A large amount of her hair was pulled out by Old Lady Li, her eyes were bruised, her mouth was bleeding, and there were several red slap marks on her face.
The extent of the injuries could not be seen under the clothes, but Old Lady Li kicked and pinched her, and she felt pain all over. If Daya and Erya were here at this moment, they probably would not recognize their mother.
Mr. Li is a man of upright character who values filial piety. Among his brothers, he is the most pedantic, believing that as long as they are at home, they must listen to their parents in everything, even if some of their things are indeed unfair.
If his parents did this, they must have their reasons. Today, when Old Lady Li beat Su, he just intervened and did not stop it completely.
Because he felt that Su had made his mother angry, and it was right for his mother to beat her.
But now it seems that the blow was a bit too harsh. Li Laosan felt a little distressed. Su Shi had been taking good care of this family for so many years, so he could work outside with peace of mind. He saw all of this and kept it in mind.
He squatted down and gently wiped away the tears pouring down Su's face. The dull and honest man didn't know what to say for a moment.
