Liu Qiaozhen walked out of Xu's house and murmured in her heart: "This Yang Damei is arrogant every day. Her two children are no better than others. They just do some dirty things."
She walked to her home and opened the door. Xu Benshan was sleeping in the room. Yang Damei looked at him and was furious. How could she marry such a loser? She originally thought that he and Xu Guoqing were cousins. It shouldn't be too bad, but I didn't expect that he couldn't hold up the wall with such mud, and he was ridiculed by Xu Guoqing and his wife every day.
Yang Damei walked over, pushed Xu Benshan and said, "Benshan, don't sleep, let's talk!"
"Go away, don't disturb my sleep, I have nothing to say to you bitch!" Xu Benshan said angrily.
"Xu Benshan, I, Liu Qiaozhen, have been married to you for so many years. I have worked hard without any merit. How can you talk like this!" Liu Qiaozhen said and started crying.
"Hard work? Credit, tell me what credit you have for hard work? Is it because you gave birth to a little bastard with someone else?" Xu Benshan sat up and pointed at Liu Qiaozhen.
"Don't act like a bastard. Lingling has been in this family for six years. Are you a cold-blooded animal? Can't you feel how much your child loves you?" Liu Qiaozhen also got angry.
"Hahaha, Liu Qiaozhen, I don't want to quarrel with you. She is your child, not mine. I have raised her for five years, so I am worthy of her. Either send her away, or you two go together!" Xu Benshan pointed to the door.
"Xu Benshan, you only blame me. Don't you think about it yourself. If it weren't for Lingling, you would have no descendants. Don't you know what your situation is?" Liu Qiaozhen also pointed at him and cursed.
Xu Benshan twitched the corner of his mouth a few times and jumped out of bed. Liu Qiaozhen was unprepared and was pushed down on the bed by Xu Benshan, who slapped her on the buttocks.
"Xu Benshan, you coward, you only know how to beat your wife! I want to divorce you, divorce!" Liu Qiaozhen shouted loudly.
Xu Benshan's raised hand stopped in mid-air: "Divorce? Xu Qiaozhen, do you still dare to mention divorce to me? Do you want to go with Zhang Shuisheng? Then you give it a try and see if he wants you!"
Afterwards, Xu Benshan grabbed a stool and sat down, lit a cigarette and said, "Liu Qiaozhen, do you think things will be better if you leave me? Send Lingling away, let's live a good life!"
"No, Xu Benshan, I beg you, don't send Lingling away. Let's live a good life. She will be filial to you when she grows up!" Liu Qiaozhen got up from the bed and knelt in front of Xu Benshan.
"Qiaozhen, as long as Lingling is sent away, I will live a good life and stop gambling, okay?" Xu Benshan also plopped down and knelt down in front of Liu Qiaozhen.
The two of them didn't give in to each other and just froze. In fact, Xu Benshan was not as messy as everyone saw. He went to gambling places every day and watched other people play. He had no gambling addiction himself, but... He just didn't want to stay at home, and he didn't want to see the child who was not him but called his father hanging in front of his eyes.
He remembered that Liu Qiaozhen was also the woman he liked, and he longed for the woman he wanted to marry. In the early days of their marriage, they had a wonderful life. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Liu Qiaozhen would betray him.
Sometimes, when Xu Benshan thought about the past, he felt it was quite funny. He was just too kind. He had never thought about the problems that would arise if Liu Qiaozhen went to Zhang Shuisheng's house every day to see his wife. He sympathized with Zhang Shuisheng, but Zhang Shuisheng gave him such a cuckold.
Over the years, Liu Qiaozhen and Zhang Shuisheng have indeed stopped contacting each other. He also wants to treat Lingling as his own child, but the older the child grows, the more similar he becomes to Zhang Shuisheng. No matter how kind he is, there is no way he would allow his wife to have an affair with someone else. Treat your children as your own!
The Xu family is well-known in the village, and Xu Guoqing is the village director. Originally, no one knew about the conflict between the couple, but one time when they were drinking, Xu Benshan accidentally let it slip. He was too depressed to speak out. Much easier.
Xu Guoqing scolded Xu Benshan and told him to get rid of the child as soon as possible. The Xu family could not afford to lose this person. Xu Benshan also felt that it would be best to give Lingling away and find her a good family. However, every time he discussed it with Liu Qiaozhen, Liu Qiaozhen disagreed.
Recently, Xu Benshan felt that he could no longer control his emotions. When he saw Liu Qiaozhen and Lingling, he remembered how flattering and happy she was when others were around her, so he used force against her.
Every time he beat Liu Qiaozhen, he would hide away for several days. He was afraid that if he missed and beat the person to death, that was not the result he wanted.
The two of them knelt on the ground for a long time. Liu Qiaozhen stood up and said, "Xu Benshan, let's get a divorce. I'll take Lingling away!"
When Xu Benshan heard what Liu Qiaozhen said, he also stood up, pointed at her and said, "It's not that easy!"
Xu Benshan left home. This time, he did not go to the gambling place, but walked towards Xu Guoqing's house. In the past, he always felt that Liu Qiaozhen did not dare to divorce her, but now Liu Qiaozhen looked determined.
He didn't know what to do. He had to talk to Xu Guoqing and see what he said.
Not long after Xu Benshan walked out of the house, Liu Qiaozhen saw Lingling coming back. She timidly walked up to Liu Qiaozhen and said, "Mom, did dad hit you again?"
"No... no... Lingling, dad didn't hit mom!" Liu Qiaozhen hugged Lingling and said.
"Mom, without me, dad wouldn't have beaten you!" Lingling whispered.
"Lingling, it's not like this. Dad loves Lingling the most!" Liu Qiaozhen hugged Lingling tightly. Lingling was her life, and no one could take her away from her.
Liu Qiaozhen freshened up and took Lingling out of the house.
"Mom, where are we going?" Lingling asked innocently.
"Lingling, let's go to my cousin's house to find her, okay?" Liu Qiaozhen said softly.
"Okay, my cousin is my favorite!" Lingling said happily.
Liu Qiaozhen made up her mind that since Zhang Shuisheng was hiding from her, she would have to go find him by herself.
Liu Qiaozhen is very familiar with Zhang Shuisheng's family. After all, she once had a good memory there.
When I arrived at Zhang Shuisheng's house, I saw Zhang Shuisheng's family having a meal in the yard, having a good time. Liu Qiaozhen tightened Lingling's hand. Why was she the only one suffering from the mistakes they made? Why did she and Lingling have to live such a life.
"Cousin, where are you eating?" Liu Qiaozhen stood at the door and shouted.
Zhang Shuisheng and Wang Cuizhi raised their heads and saw it was Liu Qiaozhen. Wang Cuizhi quickly stood up and greeted her enthusiastically, saying, "Qiaozhen, you are here? Come and have dinner together!"
"Okay, cousin, I asked you to go to my house yesterday, why didn't you go?" Liu Qiaozhen stared at Zhang Shuisheng and asked.
Zhang Shuisheng didn't say anything and immersed himself in eating. Wang Cuizhi hurriedly took her arm and said, "Did you let him go to your house yesterday? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"It's... nothing's wrong. Even if the food at home is edible, we can't finish it. Let my cousin get some to eat!" Liu Qiaozhen said, still staring at Zhang Shuisheng.
"Oh, yesterday we took our children to play in the county town. This kid was clamoring to go to the county town to buy a pair of sneakers, saying he needed to wear them for the school's sports meet." Wang Cuizhi explained hurriedly.
"Oh, I went with my child. That's good. It's not like us Lingling, and no one feels any pain!" Liu Qiaozhen said, pulling Lingling forward.
"Oh, Lingling, you are getting more and more beautiful, Qiaozhen, you are so lucky. I just want a daughter, but God doesn't let me do it!" Wang Cuizhi said, pulling Lingling to the table.
"Come on, Lingling, my cousin will give you a big chicken drumstick!" She said as she brought a big drumstick to Lingling.
"Auntie, look at my new shoes!" Zhang Shuisheng's son Zhang Yao stood up and showed them in front of Liu Qiaozhen. The young man is already in high school, taller than Zhang Shuisheng, and handsome.
Liu Qiaozhen felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Zhang Yao showing off his new shoes. They were also Zhang Shui's children. How could Zhang Yao be surrounded by happiness, while Lingling lived in fear, beatings and scoldings every day.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Qiaozhen said sincerely.
"Sit down and eat quickly!" Wang Cuizhi said as she brought the bowls and chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to ask you for help with something!" Liu Qiaozhen deliberately looked embarrassed.
"What's the matter, Qiaozhen? You've helped me so much in the past. If you have anything to say, just talk." Wang Cuizhi said happily.
"I want you to help me take care of Lingling for a few days." Liu Qiaozhen said.
"Qiaozhen, no problem. I also like Lingling very much. What can I do for you?" Wang Cuizhi said enthusiastically.
"I...I just have a lot of things going on recently and I don't have time to take care of my children. I can't pick them up on time after school, so I want to trouble you!" Liu Qiaozhen said.
"That's... no problem, but is Lingling willing to come to our house?" Wang Cuizhi asked worriedly.
"Yes, Lingling likes her cousin the most!" Liu Qiaozhen looked at Zhang Shuisheng.
Zhang Shuisheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and said, "No, Cuizhi is not in good health and cannot take care of the child!"
Liu Qiaozhen's heart suddenly dropped to the bottom. She always thought that Zhang Shuisheng liked her and Lingling, but she didn't expect that Zhang Shuisheng was so cruel.
"Shui Sheng, it's okay. There is nothing wrong with my health." Wang Cui said hurriedly.
"Qiaozhen, the school is in your village. It is more convenient for you to take care of your children. Our village is so far away from the school, so picking up and dropping off is a big problem!" Zhang Shuisheng knew that Liu Qiaozhen wanted to leave the child to him. He must not agree. If he What happened with Liu Qiaozhen was found out by Wang Cuizhi, and the consequences would be disastrous. The family he had worked so hard to manage could not be destroyed like this.
Liu Qiaozhen sat there wiping her tears and said while crying: "We Lingling have a hard life. Xu Benshan either beats or scolds me and Lingling every day. Sister-in-law, please help me, I don't want my children to live in that kind of environment every day!" "
When Wang Cuizhi heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Qiaozhen, don't cry. Let Lingling live in our house from now on. If Xu Benshan dares to come, I will let Shuisheng break his legs."
"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Qiaozhen held Wang Cuizhi's hand. If it hadn't been for the matter with Zhang Shuisheng, she thought she and Wang Cuizhi could be friends.
"Qiaozhen, if that doesn't work, divorce Xu Benshan. Although our place is feudal and no one divorces, you can't wrong yourself like this!" Wang Cuizhi advised.
"Sister-in-law, I also want a divorce, but after the divorce, Lingling will be laughed at as a child without a father. I don't care, the child is so pitiful!" Liu Qiaozhen said, crying even more sadly.
Zhang Shuisheng stood up and said to Wang Cuizhi: "Don't talk nonsense, I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage!"
Zhang Shuisheng saw that Liu Qiaozhen had decided to put the child here and didn't want to say anything else. After all, Lingling was also his daughter. It was better to put the child here than worrying about being sold by Xu Benshan every day.
"Let's go, kid, stay here and I'll take you back!" Zhang Shuisheng said to Liu Qiaozhen.
Wang Cuizhi stood up hurriedly and said: "Shui Sheng, let Qiaozhen live here. Today is the first time Lingling spends the night here. I'm afraid the child won't be used to it!"
Liu Qiaozhen knew that she couldn't stay. If she challenged Zhang Shuisheng's bottom line again and pissed him off, she would gain nothing.
"No, sister-in-law, Lingling is very obedient. I still have something to do at home!" Liu Qiaozhen stood up quickly and was about to leave.
"Mom, Mom, don't you want me anymore?" Lingling hugged her legs.
Liu Qiaozhen knelt down, kissed Lingling's forehead, and said, "Lingling, be good, listen to your aunt, your mother will come to pick you up in a few days!"
"I don't want it, I don't want it, I want to be with my mother!" Lingling held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Lingling, if you continue to disobey me, my mother will really not want you anymore!" Liu Qiaozhen said with a straight face.
Lingling slowly let go of her hands and said timidly: "Mom, I am obedient, you have to come and pick me up quickly!"
"Okay, mom will come to pick up Lingling as soon as possible!" Liu Qiaozhen cried and turned around and left without looking back.
"Mom, Mom, you must come and pick me up as soon as possible!" Lingling shouted. Wang Cuizhi hugged Lingling and couldn't help but shed tears.
Liu Qiaozhen followed Zhang Shuisheng silently without saying a word. It was getting dark and the two of them came to the river where they had had sex countless times before.
"Qiaozhen, we have all done wrong in the past. I'm sorry to Cuizhi and Benshan. You have agreed that Lingling has nothing to do with me. What do you mean by doing this now?" Zhang Shuisheng looked at Liu Qiaozhen helplessly. explain.
"Brother Shuisheng, you have also seen what kind of life I am living. I can't live it anymore and I want a divorce!" Liu Qiaozhen said.
"Divorce? Are you crazy? Xu Ben is not a bad person. You should live a good life!" Zhang Shuisheng was a little panicked.
"Haha, are you afraid that I will pester you?" Liu Qiaozhen laughed.
"We are all people with families. I love Cuizhi very much. Let the past be past!" Zhang Shuisheng said.
"In the past, how did it pass? Lingling really existed, was it okay?" Liu Qiaozhen shouted.
"Then what do you want?" Zhang Shuisheng felt that this woman was so terrifying that his intestines were filled with regret.
"You take Lingling to your home, I can't let Xu Benshan send Lingling away!" Liu Qiaozhen said.
"How can this be done? What can I say? It's okay for a few days. I can't let Lingling stay in my house all the time. Sooner or later something will happen!" Zhang Shuisheng said.
"You are her uncle now, what's wrong!" Liu Qiaozhen said, "Xu Benshan also said, send Lingling away, and we will live a good life, or we will divorce!"
"That's your husband and wife's business, I can't control it!" Zhang Shuisheng said.
"Either I divorce and take Lingling with me, and you divorce and marry me, or you adopt Lingling!" Liu Qiaozhen refused to give up.
"You are simply unreasonable!" Xu Benshan turned away angrily, leaving Liu Qiaozhen standing by the river.
