Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 663 - 641: Liang Weixiang’s Elder Daughter

Chapter 663: Chapter 641: Liang Weixiang’s Elder Daughter

"Yes, why bring him up? It’s all my fault." Liang Hongmei wiped her tears with a smile.

"Do you remember that Er Qiangzi back then?" Han Yi turned his head and smiled at them while driving.

"Of course I remember. Don’t let me see him, or I’ll beat him to death." Lin Yinghui still recalled how they had beaten him back then.

Han Yi laughed, "You won’t have the chance. The last time I came back, that Er Qiangzi happened to fall into my hands."

Han Yi’s words filled their eyes with surprise.

"It was quite a coincidence that day. I happened to see him bullying an old farmer with a group. This time, I directly called the police station in the county. He’ll be in reform-through-labour for at least seven or eight years."

"That’s too lenient for him," Lin Yinghui frowned, expressing regret.

Lin Wan didn’t view it the same way. Falling into her brother-in-law Ai Yi’s hands, if he didn’t come out missing an arm, he’d lose a leg.

Lin Guozhi didn’t say a word, but in his heart, he remembered this Er Qiangzi. Anyone who dares to bully his family members won’t have a good outcome.

... When Er Qiangzi eventually got out, he not only lost an arm but also had a crippled leg, and though in his thirties, his hair had become completely bald like an old man. But that’s all backstory now.

Almost home now, it was already four o’clock. Once home, they’d need to tidy up their new residence.

Passing through their town, they encountered another matter. Lin Guozhi suggested they inquire at the post office while it was still open about the situation back then.

After all, with over ten years having passed, document preservation wasn’t as rigorous at that time. They didn’t know if they could find anything. The staff here had long changed; those who should be promoted had been, and the retirees had retired. Only one elderly worker remained, but was absent today.

The family stayed at the post office for half an hour, unable to find any leads, and decided to come back tomorrow.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan? Do you see that person? Is that your cousin?"

Liang Hongmei pointed at a woman being beaten outside the car window among a group of people.

Lin Wan looked over in confusion. The woman was being pulled by another woman, her disheveled hair covering her face.

She couldn’t see clearly. Her mom said the cousin should be Liang Weixiang’s eldest daughter. Honestly, over the years, their family had little contact with Liang Weixiang’s family. If it wasn’t for Liang Weixiang and Zhang Dandan stubbornly staying in S City, their families would’ve been two unrelated relatives.

"Mom, it really is. Should we go down and take a look?" Zhang Daniu had married into the town; Lin Yinghui had seen her a few times. He’d even met her husband.

"Sigh, Liang Weixiang’s family isn’t great, but your cousin is quite nice. When she first got married, she visited our village to see your Little Grandmother. When she saw you two, she’d secretly give you snacks. Once, when I was caught in heavy rain washing sheets for someone in town, your cousin saw me and specifically went home to get me an umbrella. She wanted me to take shelter at their place, but I didn’t stay because I was worried you’d be anxious at home. Your Aunt said your cousin was unfortunate, consecutively giving birth to two daughters. Her mother-in-law was tough and didn’t favor her, constantly finding ways to torment her."

"Let’s go, get off and take a look." Liang Hongmei said, opening the door to get out.

Lin Guozhi saw there were so many people outside and worried his daughter-in-law would be bullied. He remembered seeing this Zhang Daniu, who was two or three years older than Ah Hui.

He recalled how adorable she was as a little girl, and life had worn down such a fine girl into this state.

Han Yi parked the car at the roadside and the family got out.

Lin Yinghui told Mu Qing to stand behind Xiao Wan, while he squeezed into the crowd to pull away the woman attacking Zhang Daniu.

"Cousin, what’s going on?"

Zhang Daniu covered her head, crying. Hearing someone speak, unsure if it was directed at her, she lifted her head.

Seeing a clean and somewhat familiar man beside her, she paused for a moment before recognizing, "You’re... Ah Hui."

Lin Yinghui nodded, "Happened to be passing by. What’s going on? Who’s this woman, why is she beating you? Where’s your husband?"

The string of questions from Lin Yinghui made Zhang Daniu’s recently stopped tears start flowing again.

"You little tramp, quite capable, huh? In such a short time, you brought your family over? Even with your family here, I’m not afraid." The woman pulled away by Lin Yinghui stood with hands on her hips, pointing at Zhang Daniu and Lin Yinghui.

"Daniu, what’s happened?" Liang Hongmei squeezed in, pulling Zhang Daniu, looking at the scratching on her face, she asked.

"... Aunt, you’re all back." Zhang Daniu saw three people in military uniforms behind them and knew it was Aunt’s husband and her sister’s husband; she didn’t know the female soldier, but knew she was from Aunt’s family. She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve, smiled, and nodded at the people behind.

"My mother-in-law says I’m like a hen that can’t lay eggs and wants me to divorce my husband. I refused, so she dragged me and beat me."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hongmei sighed and looked into the crowd. "Where’s your husband?"

Just as Liang Hongmei finished speaking, a medium-built young man emerged from the crowd holding two crying little girls and shyly smiled at her, saying "Aunt."

Seeing such a man, Liang Hongmei stiffened and coldly said, "Didn’t you see your wife being beaten by your mother? Are you a man or not? Can’t even protect your own wife."

The man blushed at Liang Hongmei’s words, lowering his head and saying nothing.

"Who are you to criticize my son? Your daughter can’t give birth, it’s her own fault, occupying a nest without leaving, who should she blame?" The tough woman didn’t agree upon hearing Liang Hongmei reprimand her son.

"Who says my child can’t give birth? Where did these two come from?" Liang Hongmei, also angry, pointed at the two children next to the man.

"Worthless girls, a financial burden. Even grown up, they’re someone else’s. Our family isn’t interested. I said to drown them in a chamber pot. Their two fools treasured them like gold, didn’t agree — now it’s good, family planning forbids more births, our Old Yang’s will become extinct."

"Mother, what are you saying? Doesn’t Brother’s family have two sons? Our two daughters are quite good. Daniu isn’t infertile; the country forbids more births, what can we do?"

"What do you know? Why cherish two girls like gold? Without a son, who will take care of you when you’re old?"

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the man grimaced and lowered his head, saying nothing.

Mu Qing went to the two little girls, squatted down, and said, "Did you hear what your grandma said? She calls you two worthless girls who bring financial burden, useless growing up, can’t support your parents. You must fight back, study well, strive to be useful people, let your parents live well. Show your grandma that girls are every bit as good as boys."

"When I grow up, I’ll definitely go to college and make sure Mom and Dad live well, so Mom won’t be beaten by Grandma every day." Zhang Daniu’s eldest daughter seemed to be about six or seven, already quite sensible, she understood Mu Qing’s words.

The younger daughter was about four or five. Though small, both were actually quite aware.

"Who are you, inciting my two granddaughters to resent me? What’s your motive?"

"I’m not inciting. You said it yourself, everyone heard it clearly."

Liang Hongmei looked at the woman and said, "On a holiday, publicly beating my niece, look at the injuries on her face, what have you done to her? Xiao Yi, go to the town police station, report this incident that the mother-in-law is abusing her daughter-in-law. I want to see if there’s still injustice."

"I can beat my daughter-in-law, rightly and properly, even police can’t do anything." Yang family’s woman, seeing the few men in military uniforms behind, felt intimidated, somewhat guilty.

She hadn’t heard that her younger daughter-in-law’s family had two military relatives. Looking at that vehicle, it was a military one.

"Dear In-Laws Aunt, my wife has grown used to being unreasonable at home. I wasn’t careful today, didn’t keep an eye on her, causing the daughter-in-law grievances. You must be back from other places. Seems like rain is coming, why not visit home?" At this, a man popped out from the crowd, his words suggesting he was Zhang Daniu’s father-in-law.

Seeing the family’s imposing presence, he knew they were tough proper, quickly approaching, fawning and flattering Liang Hongmei, offering cigarettes to Lin Guozhi, who was slightly older. "You must be the child’s uncle, have one, it’s nothing fancy from the countryside, nowhere near the city quality, don’t be contemptuous.""
