Chapter 212. Fight
Lin Qing He didn't know about it. She heard about it from little Su Cheng's story after getting off work.
"Second Aunt was beaten. Grandma took uncles and the others to fight back!" Little Su Cheng explained.
"Where are your third brother and the others?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Third Brother followed them. I stay at home to watch the house." Little Su Cheng replied.
Don't judge according to Su Da Lin's gentlemanly behavior, little Su Cheng grew up in the countryside. He often fought with other children, especially since he mingled with his third brother.
So when he heard that his grandma and the others were going over to fight, it wasn't shocking at all for him. He wasn't afraid either.
Lin Qing He wanted to laugh when she saw him like this. She rubbed his little head and said, "It's wrong to fight, but if someone else hits you, then you can fight back. You don't have to endure it."
"I know. No one dared to hit me." Little Su Cheng proudly stated.
He had so many elder brothers. Last time there was someone who was older than him. He couldn't beat him. When he came back, he quietly told his third brother. His third brother went to get him back for him without saying a word.
Of course Lin Qing He was clueless about these things. Even if she knew, she won't say anything.
There might be something wrong with her way of education, but boys really had to be roughly raised when they are young, especially in the countryside. When boys, who have never fought with others, grow up, their childhood will inevitably felt a little imperfect.
Of course one had to know when enough was enough.
Lin Qing He inquired with Mrs. Cai. Mrs. Cai knew about it, she told her that Mother Zhou had called a few women in the village.
Lin Qing He knew in her mind that they were all very fierce women in the village.
So she took some leftovers that she got from Sister Mei yesterday and stewed it with starch noodles. Mother Zhou had gathered four people, so she divided it into four big bowls. All of them were big portions.
Zhou Qing Bai and the others didn't come back until around seven o'clock. After they came back, Lin Qing He had already prepared the food. It went without saying, she had to help entertain them (like a guest).
They stayed for a meal. Afterward, each was gifted this bowl of stewed noodles with meat. It made the few who were called to help delighted.
This kind of thing was very common in the countryside- calling the village's fierce ones to seek justice for their married daughter. It was enough to have them stay for a meal. It was rare to see one like Lin Qing He, preparing food for them to bring back.
They all said that they would wash the bowl and send it over later. And if anyone dared to bully the married-off daughters of the village, they can also call for them.
Once everything was mostly over, Lin Qing He finally had the time to ask Mother Zhou what was going on.
Mother Zhou spat out in disgust: "This old Huang Family really treat my old Zhou Family non-existent. Just those three melons and two dates, they withered as soon as we went over!"
She understood her second daughter's temper. To be able to force her to come back to her maternal family to file a complaint, how can they show any politeness?
Simply called for reinforcement as well as her daughter's brother and directly charge over for the kill.
Once they arrived, Huang Family's old pious woman and eldest daughter-in-law pinned down on the ground by accompanying fellow old women and received a beating. Huang Family's men didn't even dare to move!
Just cleaning up old Huang Family wasn't enough. They also charged to the Huang Family’s eldest daughter-in-law’s maternal family. They were from the same village, so it was very convenient. They went over and slapped that sister-in-law who had participated in beating Second Sister.
Naturally, that maternal family won't stand for it. They also had many brothers and immediately stepped in. But before they could do anything, they were knocked down by Zhou Qing Bai alone.
Eldest Brother and the others didn't even have to move!
Zhou Qing Bai did not step in when the women were fighting. However, Zhou Qing Bai won't have any hesitation with men.
All of Huang’s eldest daughter-in-law's maternal brothers moaned on the ground. None of them dared to get up anymore. As soon as they got up, Zhou Qing Bai swept one leg over. Who would dare to climb up?
Have to say, Zhou Qing Bai had protective genes.
After all, Zhou Qing Bai knew what his second sister's temper was like. Even when she was forced to go back to her maternal family to borrow money to move out the year before, she wouldn't complain. This time she was beaten back to her maternal family to ask for help. Of course, Zhou Qing Bai stand up it for her and give her justice.
After the fight, everyone sat down and discussed.
Naturally, apology was a must. Not only did they apologize, they had give compensation. It was a rare opportunity for Mother Zhou to give justice for her daughter once, how could she let old Huang family off so easily?
Wasn’t the family separation unfair last time? This time the old grudge and the new hatred were settled together!
On the way over, Mother Zhou clarified the situation to her helpers. It was best for them to bring up these things.
So they helped Second Sister get another hundred yuan as family separation allowance. With this, the beating matter was over!
Only then Huanghe production Village realized that old Huang Family's second daughter-in-law wasn't without a family. They finally made their move and now old Huang Family became injured.
What's more, they had to pinch their nose to accept this lesson. It was very likely they would never dare to give this second daughter-in-law attitude again.
Lin Qing He admired their handiwork. But really, only this way worked.
Moreover, the combat power of these few villagers were very good. One can stand against two. Lin Qing He felt that this meal and the bowl of stewed mea and noodles was worth the value.
After a while, their families' kids returned the clean bowl.
The next day, Second Sister came back again.
This time, there was a smile on her face. She brought over the one hundred yuan of family separation allowance that her mother had fought for her yesterday.
First, she paid back the money to her maternal sisters-in-law. As for the money she still owe her eldest sister and younger sister, put that on hold for a while.
"Don't blame your sisters-in-law for not joining in. They aren't old Huang Family's shrews' opponent. When we came back yesterday, Da Wa's mother made a lot of dishes to serve those who helped us." Mother Zhou explained.
"I'll note down what mother said in my heart." Second Sister smiled. Naturally she wouldn't mind. Her four younger brothers all participated, which was enough.
"Made Qing Bai's wife break her wallet." Second Sister continued.
Mother Zhou didn’t say anything. The money was accepted first and said: “Now the old-age care are written in black and white. In the future, they will stick with the first branch, but you still need to contribute to old-age care. Just send the food on time. Remember to let the neighbors witness it to prevent that one born with black hearted say you gave old grain."
Mother Zhou had lived a lifetime. She had seen countless types.
Some will be like this. Clearly the daughter-in-law sent new grains as filial piety, but it was twisted into old grains. There was such an incident in the village before. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law left a leeway. When delivering over she encountered people and gave them a look.
After the news spread, she had some to vouch for her. If not, she would really be wronged.
Second Sister acknowledged this advice.
Even though they received a beating this time, Second Sister got to see them pinned down and get hit. Her accumulated anger over the past several years were released when she saw their crying and howling appearance
Her whole spirit was different.
Why else would the rural desperately fight for a son? From this fight, one can see the advantages of having sons in the family.
Lin Qing He didn't know about it. She heard about it from little Su Cheng's story after getting off work.

That was fun. We kicked their asses, on to the next house! What started this anyway? What bs excuse did they have for beating Second sister?
ReplyDeleteBullies don't need an excuse to bully. That and the second sister was said to have a gentle personality, which means she's an easy victim for bullying.
DeleteHahahhaa , too bad our MC didnt fight , thx for the chapter !!! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chapter!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah....What did they fight over?
Well, the Second Sister (second daughter of the Zhou family) was beaten my her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. The weird part was that she still got beaten even when they've already separated the households. Like...what other reason could they have this time, really? Their expenses aren't even pooled together anymore.
DeleteNaturally, she complained about it to her mother when she visited her parents. And so Mother Zhou set out for revenge! Ha ha. It's kind refreshing to see the direct way the country folk settle their grievances.
Thank you for the chapter !
ReplyDeleteWow- I get why a woman’s family is her strength from those times. Who else will help you if your husband is bad or his family is bad.. Not the law
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this is true even today.
DeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteOne smoooooll typo when MC went to Mrs. Cai, there is 'she' that should be from small s
They made their move so and now they did, old Huang Family became injured. -> They made their move and now the old Huang Family became injured./They made their move and when they did, the old Huang Family became injured./They made their move and now that they did, the old Huang Family became injured.
Thanks Dorai_O! Fixed now!
DeleteJustice was served!
ReplyDeleteIndeed now I can kinda see what's up with all the want for 50 sons and the like lol.
ReplyDeleteWelp that's how people are at their core I guess.
Haha, this kind of crude comeuppance is very refreshing
ReplyDeleteI like this kind of problem solving tho, If they bully you don't hesitate to call your family to bully them back! 😂
ReplyDeleteHahaha 😂🤣😍😎 So happy! Very action.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter
My favourite is still when MC threw second SIL over the shoulder! It was so unexpected and hilarious. Also, when she slapped her own 2nd SIL (Lin family). I was hoping she’d get in on the action but she’s a teacher now and isn't invested at all in this fight.
