Chapter 1 Widowhood
"You Chen family are bullying me. I didn't agree to my daughter marrying your deaf and dumb son. If your son wasn't a bad person and had tarnished my daughter's innocence, how could my daughter, who graduated from high school and is beautiful and a city girl, marry into this godforsaken place!"
"I said that your son is not only deaf and dumb, but also a short-lived ghost. Now he died after only four years of marriage. I, Chen Pandi, am leaving my ugly words here today. Even if I die today, I will take my daughter away. She is still so young and will not be a widow to your short-lived ghost!"
Chen Pandi cried as she spoke, as if her daughter had suffered a great injustice.
Beside her, Liu Yuzhi covered her chest as she listened. She was already very sad because she had been handling the funeral of her eldest son in the past few days, and she was so sad that she had to send off the young man. When she saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law coming, she forced herself to come and greet them.
She thought her proud in-laws would come to comfort her, but before they could say a few words, her mother-in-law said she wanted to take her daughter-in-law away. She was dumbfounded.
Even though she had never been far away from home in her life and had little experience, Liu Yuzhi knew that if she really let her daughter-in-law go with her mother-in-law, her poor grandson would lose his mother after losing his father.
So, she disagreed and argued for a few words, but she didn't expect Chen Pandi to cry loudly in front of the villagers.
"Impossible, as long as I, Liu Yuzhi, am here today, you can't take Qinghuan away. My grandson An'an can't be without his mother! If you insist on taking her away today, you have to return the 300 yuan betrothal gift I gave to your family!"
Although Liu Yuzhi was a little dizzy with anger, she also knew that her mother-in-law loved money so much that she must want her daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home and remarry, so that she can ask for more betrothal money again.
So, she asked her mother-in-law to pay back the betrothal gift. Three hundred yuan was a lot of money. Even a city dweller like her mother-in-law would have to save it for several years.
As for the fact that her mother-in-law wanted to take her daughter-in-law away because she felt sorry for her daughter, Liu Yuzhi didn't believe it. When Chen Pandi first came, she said that Qinghuan was bedridden because of her son's accident and was too sad. She is still in a coma now.
As a result, Chen Pandi didn't even think about going to the house to see how her daughter was doing.
Sure enough, when Liu Yuzhi said that the betrothal gift was three hundred yuan, the villagers who were watching the excitement were surprised.
At first, they only knew that the mute son of the Bai family would need a lot of betrothal gifts to marry an educated/youthful daughter-in-law, otherwise Liu Yuzhi, a strong woman who wanted to save face, would not have borrowed money everywhere, but they really didn't expect that it was a full three hundred yuan betrothal gift!
They are rural people who only earn a few dozen yuan a year, and the most they earn is only a little over a hundred yuan, so a betrothal gift of three hundred yuan is the most they can afford.
Grandma Chen couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "Yun Zhiqing's mother, the Bai family gave you a lot of betrothal money at the beginning. That money is enough for Wensong to marry several rural wives in the countryside. You can't be a conscienceless person. Wensong just passed away, and the first seven days haven't passed yet, and you want to take his wife away. Be careful that he will be so angry that he will go to you, his mother-in-law, in the middle of the night!"
Chen Pandi was already guilty, and when Grandma Chen said this, she instantly felt the surroundings chilly and had a creepy feeling.
"You, you old woman, don't talk nonsense! I'm doing this for my daughter's sake. She's so young, she can't be widowed by a man named Bai for no reason! Three hundred yuan is not a bad gift. My daughter is so beautiful and married to the deaf and dumb Bai Wensong, and she gave birth to a son for him. I won't return the gift money no matter what!"
Although Chen Pandi was a little scared, she was not easy to mess with, and she reacted quickly.
Her daughter is no longer a virgin now, and she has given birth to a baby. It will be harder to marry again than the first marriage.
Liu Yuzhi was so angry that she was about to refute the shameless Chen Pandi, but her grandson suddenly rushed over and pushed Chen Pandi hard.
"You bad guy, get out! Get out! Don't take my mother away!"
Bai Jinan came running from nowhere, his body was dirty, his clothes were tattered, like a little beggar, like a little firecracker, he directly hit Chen Pandi fiercely.
If Chen Pandi's husband hadn't seen this and quickly helped her, she would have fallen to the ground in public.
Instantly, the anger on Chen Pandi's face emerged, and after standing firm, she wanted to hit Bai Jinan, "Where did you come from, little bastard? I'll teach you a lesson!"
The raised hand fell fiercely, with an angry slap, the force was not small, how old was Bai Jinan? He was only three years old, small and thin, if this slap fell, he would probably be seriously injured.
Liu Yuzhi's heart jumped, "An An..."
Wanted to stop it, but it all happened in a flash, she didn't have time at all.
Everyone couldn't bear to look away, thinking that this child was really pitiful. His biological father had just died, and his grandmother was coming to take his mother away. Now his biological grandmother wanted to beat him.
Looking at the strength, it was impossible not to be skinned.
However, the scene that everyone expected did not happen. At the critical moment, a man suddenly rushed over, grabbed Chen Pandi's arm directly, and squeezed it hard, "I'm here, I don't see who dares to touch An An!"
The man's voice was deep, and his eyes were as cold as ice and stared at Chen Pandi.
He was obviously still sitting in a wheelchair, but he rushed over in an instant, so fast that people couldn't see clearly.
Chen Pandi's expression froze when he looked at her, and her whole body trembled unconsciously. She felt terrified.
After all, the man was a man stained with blood, and he had killed countless people.
Just looking at Chen Pandi was like looking at a cold corpse.
"You, you cripple, let me go!" Even though Chen Pandi's voice was trembling and intermittent, she still cursed the man who suddenly appeared.
The man's eyes were sharp, and his hands exerted a little force.
Chen Pandi screamed in pain, "Ah!"
"Let go! I, I won't hit him anymore!"
She immediately started begging for mercy, and her humble begging was not as arrogant as before.
Next to her, Liu Yuzhi looked at her youngest son who suddenly appeared, and her first reaction was to pull her grandson An An over to check if he was okay.
"An'an, are you okay?"
The child pursed his lips and said nothing, looking at Chen Pandi fiercely, stubborn and aggrieved.
He just shook his head and his eyes were red.
Liu Yuzhi felt sad, but she didn't care about that. She hurried to see her youngest son and subconsciously looked at his legs.
Just now, the youngest son moved very quickly. His leg injury was still serious. I don't know if he pulled the wound?
When she looked over, she found that the handsome man had a tense face, with fine sweat on it and a pale face.
