Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

Zhou Mingxiu and Xia Ran were beaten half to death and thrown to the ground.

Li Guoqiang and Sun Ping sat on the edge of the bed, without even glancing over, and held Lin Hao's hand with heartache.

"Huihui, you see, Zhou Mingxiu is not someone you can trust. Otherwise, you should divorce him."

"Your mother and I are still young. We have food at home, and you have three older brothers. We can definitely support you."

"When you get better, if there's someone you like, we'll get married. If not, we'll stay at home and be your parents' maid for the rest of our lives, okay?"

Looking at his once plump and fair daughter, she became dark and thin after just over a year of marriage.

Li Guoqiang, a grown man, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Sun Ping was so distressed that she burst into tears and couldn't help but glare at Zhou Mingxiu again.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to get divorced. I want to give Mingxiu another chance."

Li Guoqiang and Sun Ping immediately frowned.

"Mom and Dad, listen to me." Lin Hao moved and hugged their arms, saying coquettishly:

"I believe Mingxiu has realized his mistake. There's a saying that goes, 'It takes a hundred years to cross the river together, and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow.' It's not easy for two people to live together. We need to understand each other."

Lin Hao looked Zhou Mingxiu in the eye with a smile, a threatening look in his eyes: "And if it happens again, Mingxiu will definitely not be ashamed to beg for mercy, right?"

Zhou Mingxiu's expression froze and he turned his face away awkwardly.

Li Guoqiang sighed, "You are good in every way, girl, except that you are stubborn. Forget it, I will do as you say."

He glared at Zhou Mingxiu again.

"You heard everything Huihui said. Let me tell you, Huihui was cherished by our family and raised with love. If you dare to bully her again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhou Mingxiu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, Xia Ran, go back to live at the educated youth camp from now on. Don't come here unless you have something important to do. If you cause any trouble again, no one can protect you!"

Li Guoqiang knocked on his pipe, signaling Li Aiguo and Li Baoguo to take Xia Ran away.

"Brother Mingxiu!"

Xia Ran struggled for a moment, and looked at Zhou Mingxiu with a pair of affectionate, wet eyes.

The Li family was still there, so Zhou Mingxiu didn't dare to make any small movements, not even raising his head.

Xia Ran was reluctantly pulled away by the Li Aiguo brothers.

Sun Ping made a cup of brown sugar water for Lin Hao, patted her hand lovingly, and went out with a sigh.

Lin Hao sat on the edge of the bed, looked out into the yard, and when he saw the gate was closed, his face suddenly fell.

"Where's the money check your family sent?"

Zhou Mingxiu glanced at her, his eyes filled with disgust. "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Hao sneered, "Zhou Mingxiu, you really have the nerve to say that."

"You've been married to me for over a year now, I eat my food and live my house, and I've never even seen the money and snacks your family sends me every month, and you don't allow me to ask? Come on, take it out, don't force me to do it."

"Really? I've spent it all!"

Zhou Mingxiu avoided her gaze guiltily.

Although his family sent him fifty yuan, food coupons, biscuits, candies, and malted milk every month, they gave all of that to Xia Ran for safekeeping.

Xia Ran is the wife he has chosen in his heart, and he only trusts Xia Ran.

As for the village girl Li Huihui, if he didn't need to borrow her womb to give birth to a son, he would not bother to deal with her at all.

"Snapped!"

Lin Hao suddenly jumped off the bed and slapped him in the face.

Zhou Mingxiu was completely stunned and grabbed her wrist. "Li Huihui, you shrew, what are you doing again?!"

How could Lin Hao be held by him? He broke free with his hand and raised his hand to slap him again.

"Snapped!"

"Tell me, where's the money? Where's the stuff? If you don't give it to me, I'll go ask Xia Ran for it. By the way, let me ask you, which man doesn't give his money to his wife for safekeeping, but instead gives it to his 'brother'."

She can emphasize the pronunciation of the word "brother".

Zhou Mingxiu's scalp was about to explode.

He doesn't care what others think, but Xia Ran does!

If everyone knew that he gave the money to Xia Ran, Xia Ran would definitely not be able to stand the pointing and criticizing of others.

"No, I, I did lend some to Xia Ran. He, he has a big family and his conditions are not good. I..."

Lin Hao slapped him on the back of the head, "I, I, I, my shit, why don't you go find him and ask for it back!"

"I'm telling you, from now on, anything your family sends you must be shown to me first. If you dare give it to Xia Ran again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"understood."

Zhou Mingxiu was very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about her, so he went out to find Xia Ran with a gloomy face.

Half an hour later, he came back with a gloomy face and a stack of bills.

Lin Hao opened the paper and counted them, frowning.

"Why is it only one hundred and eighty-three dollars?"

"That's all. I spent the rest. Don't blame Xia Ran."

"Haha, you think I don't know? Your family sends you fifty yuan every month, along with food coupons, cloth coupons, biscuits, and a whole bunch of malted milk."

"We've been married for a year and a half. I won't tell you anything else, but we have at least nine hundred dollars. And now you're telling me there's less than two hundred left?"

"Zhou Mingxiu, you're a pig! I feed and clothe you every day, and I've never asked you to spend a dime. Where did you spend your money? Tell me clearly, every penny!"

"enough!"

Zhou Mingxiu slammed the table with a slap on his face, his face looking extremely ugly.

"Li Huihui, I'm not going to bother with you because you just had a miscarriage and you're not feeling well. But don't go too far!"

"I'm going too far? Fine, today I'll let you know what going too far is!"

Lin Hao kicked him down without saying a word, sat on him and started beating him, focusing on the conspicuous places.

Zhou Mingxiu didn't expect that she had become stronger. He was a grown man, but he couldn't push her away. He was beaten by her and screamed in pain, almost unable to breathe.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I know I was wrong, I'm going to ask Xia Ran for money right now!"

Zhou Mingxiu covered his face and begged for mercy.

"Last chance, if you dare to fool me again..."

"I won't dare to do that anymore. I will definitely get my money back!"

Zhou Mingxiu's face was covered with snot and tears. He was really scared of her, so he got up and ran to the educated youth site.

The educated youth all went to work, and there was no one at the educated youth site except Xia Ran.

Xia Ran was washing clothes, and while washing she called Li Huihui a bitch and pretentious.

If she hadn't been so pampered and made him suffer when she was pregnant, how could he have pushed her into miscarriage in such excitement?

Although he didn't like Li Huihui, he was still looking forward to having a child.

Of course, he wasn't expecting a child, but he was expecting her to give birth to the child quickly so that he could take the child back to the city with Brother Mingxiu.

He really didn't want to stay in this dilapidated and backward countryside for even a single day.

"Ran Ran!"

"Brother Mingxiu?" Xia Ran looked up and saw several more purple scars on Zhou Mingxiu's face. She rushed over distressed, "You, what's wrong with your face?!"

"It's still that bitch Li Huihui!"

Zhou Mingxiu gritted his teeth in anger.

"Li Huihui dared to hit you, how brave is she!"

Xia Ran was heartbroken, "I'll go find her right away!"

"do not go!"

Zhou Mingxiu held him back and shook his head with forbearance.

"Li Guoqiang just made a statement today. They have so many people and so much power. You won't get any benefit if you go there now."

"So let them bully you like this?"

Xia Ran was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"A dragon in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in plains is bullied by dogs. We are on their territory, so there is no way we can be patient."

Zhou Mingxiu patted his head comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll take you away after Li Huihui gives birth to a son. By then, no one in the Li family will be able to escape my revenge!"

"Ok!"

Xia Ran leaned in his arms and nodded heavily.

He liked the way Zhou Mingxiu looked like he had everything under control.

Zhou Mingxiu kissed his forehead and thought for a while, "Ranran, how much money do you have?"

"Except the one hundred and eighty-three you just took, there are still six hundred and fifty-three. What's wrong, Brother Mingxiu?"

Zhou Mingxiu pondered: "Li Huihui asked me to give the money to her for safekeeping. Can you give me the money first?"

"Brother Mingxiu!" Xia Ran pushed him away with a hurt expression.

"Why? You said that this money is mine after it's given to me. Isn't it enough that you just gave Li Huihui so much? Why give her more?"

What do you mean by your money? It's all mine for you to keep.

Zhou Mingxiu felt uncomfortable, "Xia Ran, you have to be obedient, just to temporarily reassure Li Huihui."

"If we don't coax her into giving birth to our child, how can she agree to give birth to our child? If she doesn't give birth to our child, how can my parents agree to help us return to the city? Right?"

But that's such a huge sum of money!

Xia Ran was heartbroken.

He has four daughters and three sons, and he is the least favored one.

He had never seen so much money in his life. He was reluctant to spend it and let Li Huihui take care of his food and clothing. It was not easy to save up the money.

"Xia Ran!"

Seeing that he was hesitant and unwilling to express his opinion, and the wound on his face was aching again, Zhou Mingxiu raised his tone.

"Okay, I promise."

Afraid that he would be angry, Xia Ran nodded quickly.
