Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1151 You slut, you dare to divorce my son?

Wang Ade's parents were happy for a while, but then they became worried again. That young widow, Axiu, was not a good person for settling down. She had more than just Wang Ade as her lover. If they married her, she would be cuckolded all over the place.

Old Wang was more experienced. He stamped his foot and told Wang Ade that it was impossible to marry that Ah Xiu, but they could bring her home and let Wu Xiufang take care of her until she gave birth to the child. After the child was born, Wu Xiufang could raise it.

Wu Xiufang turned to look at her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband. She simply couldn't believe that her father-in-law had uttered such utterly immoral and shameless words. She stood up, staring at the ugly faces of this family.

Wu Xiufang said through gritted teeth,

"You expect me to raise someone else's bastard child and serve that slut? How can you say such shameless things? I've tolerated you hitting me, cursing me, and not letting me eat, but you're going too far now."

Wang Ade's face contorted with rage. He never expected his usually submissive wife to dare speak to them like that. He stepped forward, swung his arm, and slapped Wu Xiufang twice, knocking her to the ground.

Wang Ade stepped forward, stepped on Wu Xiufang's shoulder, lowered his head, and leaned close to her. He said viciously.

"You slut, I got another woman pregnant, and it's a favor by letting you raise the child. Don't push your luck."

Wu Xiufang shook off Wang Ade's foot. She now knew very well that this Wang family treated her like a farmhand, a nanny, and a breeding machine.

She struggled to her feet and looked directly at Wang Ade for the first time in her life. Her voice trembled slightly, but her tone was resolute.

"You're dreaming of me raising someone else's bastard child! We're getting a divorce!"

Wang Ade was a cowardly bully who preyed on the weak. He took a step back in fright. He knew very well that the young widow, Axiu, only coveted his money and didn't genuinely want to live with him. If Wu Xiufang divorced him, he would never find a wife in his life.

Wang Ade looked pleadingly at his father and mother. His father's face turned ferocious and looked somewhat frightening. Old Man Wang gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn bitch, back when Master Nan was around, my son could have as many women as he wanted. Would he be threatened by a slut like you? This bullshit society now, what talk of gender equality and freedom of marriage? They don't even care about parental orders and matchmakers anymore. If things continue like this, we'll be doomed sooner or later."

"You slut, you want to divorce my son? Go to hell!"

He rushed up and started punching and slapping Wu Xiufang relentlessly. Wu Xiufang fought back fiercely and kicked Old Wang. Then the old lady joined in, and the three of them took turns beating Wu Xiufang.

How could Wu Xiufang possibly beat the three of them? In no time, she was beaten to the point of near death. Old Man Wang took a rope, tied her hands and feet, and threw her into the woodshed, not even giving her a meal.

The neighbors were used to Wu Xiufang being beaten, and even treated it as a joke. However, one of their neighbors, an old woman surnamed Li, whose son worked in the city, often received food and medicated oil from Wu Xiufang.

In Wu Xiufang's cold world, Grandma Li was the only warmth. This time, Wu Xiufang was beaten badly, but the Wang family didn't care. Anyway, no one cared. In the South, most families live their lives cautiously and don't care about other people's business.

If Wu Xiufang's incident had happened in Northeast China, she wouldn't even need her neighbors to intervene; she could have easily killed the entire Wang family herself with a knife.

Grandma Li's son was very excited when he came home. He kept telling his mother about the denunciation meeting in the city. At this moment, the neighbors started cursing and hitting each other again. Grandma Li sighed and said...

"What a pity for Xiufang. She's virtuous, capable, and beautiful. Why did she have to marry into this family? She gets beaten every day. She'll be beaten to death sooner or later. How pitiful."

Grandma Li's son had some ulterior motives towards Wu Xiufang. After hearing what Grandma Li said, he suddenly had an idea.

"Mom, this Four Cleans and Five Anti Movement is about digging out bad elements among the people. I heard that Old Wang was a henchman of Nan Batian before. It is said that he killed someone."

Grandma Li quickly whispered.

"It's true. This Wang Qingfa, he used to be a real ruthless guy when he followed Nan Batian. He always carried a gun on his hip and a whip in his hand. Anyone who blocked their way on the street would get a beating. Later, when Nan Batian was suppressed, I heard his children ran off to Hong Kong."

Wang Qingfa and his thugs scattered and fled to the countryside, changing their names and identities. However, the government hasn't bothered them in recent years.

“Mom, this Wang family is no good. They treat their daughter-in-law like a monster, beating her to death. Find a chance to talk to Wu Xiufang and tell her to go to the city square tomorrow morning to hold a rally and cry for justice. The government will stand up for her.”

Grandma Li hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of Wu Xiufang's miserable state, she couldn't help but ask.

"Ah Quan, are you telling the truth? What if in the end the government doesn't care about Xiufang anymore? Then Xiufang will have no way to survive."

Ah Quan patted his chest confidently.

"Don't worry, Mom, the government will definitely stand up for Xiufang."

Grandma Li waited until midnight, and while the Wang family was asleep, she secretly slipped into the woodshed with two rice balls. When she saw Wu Xiufang, who had been beaten to the point of near death, the old lady couldn't help but cry.

"What a tragedy, what a tragedy! This Wang family is no good. How could they beat you like this, daughter?"

Wu Xiufang ate the rice ball in large bites, her eyes devoid of their former sparkle, looking like a dead person.

Seeing him like this, Granny Li had no choice but to try anything, so she told Wu Xiufang what Quan had said, and finally said...

“Xiufang, you can’t go on like this. If you keep going like this, they’ll beat you to death sooner or later. You have to escape, escape to the city square. There’s a big meeting going on there. You can beg the government to save your life.”

Wu Xiufang was somewhat tempted, and she quickly asked.

“Mother-in-law, can the government intervene? After all, this is a family matter. That’s what the police station and the government have told me before.”

Granny Li pursed her lips and muttered a curse under her breath.

"They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings who eat grain but don't care about clothing. Xiufang, listen to Quan, this time it's different. There's this so-called 'Four Cleanups and Five Antis' movement going on in the city right now, and one of them is anti-feudalism. Listen to what your mother-in-law is telling you, when you get to that meeting, just say two things."

One thing is their oppression and beatings of you, and another thing…
