But to Old Madam Li, this was an incredible provocation.
“Wow! How dare a shameless creature like you hit me. Dahai, Dahai, look, your wife dared to hit me. Aiyah how bitter my life is! I suffered so much to bring you up and now that you’re married, your wife beats me up. I don’t want to live anymore. Ah ah ah!”
She wailed loudly, first saying she wanted to die, then calling Li Dahai to come and beat Gu Yunshuang. She herself did not stop. She rushed forward to beat Gu Qingyao.
Gu Yunshuang panicked. She continued to shield Gu Yunshuang. “Mother, don’t. I didn’t hit you. Don’t beat her anymore. Yao Yao has nothing to do with this. Mother…”
Gu Qingyao knew she must not hit this old woman, or she would get into trouble. But she also could not just let her off like that. She was just thinking of how to do something while no one was paying attention, but before she could find an opportunity, Li Dahai rushed over.
“Stop it. Are you crazy? How dare you hit our mother!”
He slapped Gu Yunshuang’s cheek.
Piak!
Gu Yunshuang and Gu Qingyao were both stunned.
Old Madam Li cried every harder when she saw that her son was defending her.
“Wu wu wu, oh God! What sin have I committed? My daughter-in-law dares to hit me! Has it been easy for me to survive all these years? Aiyoh I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore!”
When he saw how Old Madam Li was acting, Li Dahai acted even more brutally towards Gu Yunshuang. He slapped her a few more times, then kicked her to the ground.
He continued kicking her. “How dare you rebel! Our mother is so old, and you dare to hit her. You damn bitch, I’ll beat you to death. How dare you! How dare you…”
“Don’t hit my mother…” Li Fangting started to wail.
Gu Qingyao was completely stunned!
This… was the kind of life that Younger Aunt led?
This… wasn’t this Li Dahai supposed to be an honest man?
She remembered her grandparents saying that Li Dahai was comparatively honest. Although he had no great talent, he was quite a good man – filial, good-tempered, hardworking and competent…
This…
“Stop… stop…”
Gu Qingyao recovered her wits and hurriedly pushed Li Dahai aside. She was very agile. She could not hurt Old Madam Li just now, but now she was utterly floored by this scene. When she saw how they beat her younger aunt, she almost lost her reason. She exerted herself and pushed this big-sized, middle-aged man so hard that he almost fell.
“Younger Aunt… Younger Aunt…”
Gu Yunshuang was ashen. She clutched her stomach, unable to speak.
Gu Qingyao hurriedly took her pulse.
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, “Blood! My God! Blood!”
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Qingyao looked and discovered that her younger aunt’s trousers had a dark patch. Because she had been lying in the snow, her clothes were wet, and she had not noticed at first. But now it had stained the snow and the bright red blood was very conspicuous.
Gu Qingyao’s hand that held Gu Yunshuang’s wrist shook in anger!
“Younger Aunt, don’t be afraid. I’ll help you back to the house. Get up!”
She carried Gu Yunshuang and tried to help her back to the house to rest. She was clearly having a miscarriage and had to be treated.
Li Dahai was in shock as he looked on!
But Old Madam Li had seen everything and now she recovered her wits. She blocked the door and refused to allow them in.
“What are you doing? This is my home; you’re not allowed in. Bleeding during the new year is very unlucky. Dahai, quickly divorce her. She’s a girl from a landlord family. We can’t afford to keep her. Divorce her immediately and cut your ties with her!”
