Chapter 65 The Radiance of the Virgin Mary Has Dimmed (1)
"Waaaaah, I really didn't see wrong, it really is my aunt..."
"You little brat, if you spread rumors again, I'll have your mom beat you to death!"
Su Dingding opened her eyes and found herself standing in the yard, holding a rolling pin in her hand.
A six or seven-year-old boy was kneeling at my feet, crying so hard that his snot and tears covered his sleeve.
Beside him was a smaller little girl, crying even louder, clinging to the little boy's neck, sobbing, "Mommy, don't hit brother anymore, brother is in pain..."
She called me "Mom"?
Su Dingding frowned. Am I hitting my own child?
The woman standing next to her suddenly snatched the rolling pin from her hand and said fiercely, "You're already talking nonsense at such a young age. What will you be like when you grow up? Your mother can't bear to hit you, so let me, your aunt, teach you a lesson!"
The woman, dressed in a cheongsam and high-heeled sandals, sporting classic 1990s-style big wavy hair, makeup, and jewelry, seemed somewhat out of place in the dilapidated courtyard.
The two children clung to each other, screaming in terror but too afraid to dodge, closing their eyes and waiting to be beaten.
Instead of feeling any pain, he heard his aunt scream.
Su Dingding snatched back the rolling pin and started hitting the woman with it. "I can hit my child all I want, but no one else can lay a finger on him. Who do you think you are, daring to hit my child!"
"Liu Dafeng, are you crazy?" The woman ran around, twisting her ankle in her high-heeled sandals. "Who's in charge of this house!"
“I don’t know who was in charge before, but from now on I’m the boss!” Su Dingding shouted, waving a rolling pin.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, dare you say that again!" An old woman's voice came from behind. "I'm not dead yet, and it's none of your business to speak in this house!"
Su Dingding turned around, tilted her head, and let out a cold snort, "I thought she was some kind of imperial concubine, with such a big mouth. Turns out she's just an old nanny."
"Liu Dafeng, are you trying to drive me crazy?!" The old woman was her mother-in-law, and this was the first time she had been disobeyed by her eldest daughter-in-law.
This eldest daughter-in-law is an uneducated village woman; it's as if her ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke if she could even enter their home.
If it weren't for the fact that she does all the housework, is obedient and honest, and has given birth to two children, I would have divorced her long ago. Today, he must have taken the wrong medicine, daring to hit his second son's wife and even talking back to her!
[Host, please take over the original owner's memories first!]
The original owner's name was Liu Dafeng.
She had many siblings and got married at the age of eighteen.
The husband, Zhao Yong, has a good job, lives in a courtyard house, and has some money.
Because Zhao Yong had a leg disability and was over thirty years old, he married Liu Dafeng only to continue the family line, but he always looked down on her.
The younger brother, Zhao Wei, was more successful; he married Zheng Xiaoying, the county magistrate's daughter.
Zheng Xiaoying was treated like an ancestor in the Zhao family, doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.
Liu Dafeng was busy from morning till night like a mother hen, and she would still be scolded for not ironing her clothes properly, for not cooking to her liking, for the children being too noisy, and for being too rustic, like an old object dug out of the ground.
But no matter what, she worked hard without complaint and lived a very humble life.
Later, Liu Dafeng's eldest son, Zhao Xiaohu, accidentally saw Zheng Xiaoying and a local hoodlum walking out of an alley, embracing and kissing. When he got home, he told Liu Dafeng about it.
Originally, Zheng Xiaoying was worried that Liu Dafeng would use this incident to blackmail her, but Liu Dafeng beat up her son, and her younger daughter Zhao Niuniu was also beaten up for protecting her brother.
Afterwards, Liu Dafeng approached Zheng Xiaoying, hoping she would behave herself in the future, as this incident would not sound good if it got out.
Zheng Xiaoying felt that Liu Dafeng was deliberately mocking her, so she hated her and often stirred up trouble in front of her mother-in-law.
He even had that thug deliberately come to Liu Dafeng's house, only to be cornered by Zhao Yong inside.
No matter how Liu Dafeng explained, it was no use. After being beaten, she was tied up and sent back to her parents' home, losing all face.
Although the Liu family was poor, they trusted their child's character and didn't say anything, letting Liu Dafeng stay.
Less than six months later, Zheng Xiaoying ran off with another man and took all of the Zhao family's money.
Zhao Wei went to Zheng Xiaoying's parents' home to demand her return, and in a moment of impulse, he injured her father with a knife. He was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Because of this incident, Zhao Wei's father died on the spot, and his mother was hospitalized.
Zhao Yong is disabled and can't earn much money. He also has two children to support, so he can't make ends meet.
After learning about this, Liu Dafeng, remembering their past relationship, returned to the Zhao family.
She takes care of her sick mother-in-law, two young children, and a disabled husband.
For the sake of her family, she worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk selling steamed buns and setting up street stalls, working herself to the bone without complaint.
Even though her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed and scolded her all day long, she still smiled and thought that as long as her mother-in-law was happy, that was all that mattered.
Zhao Yong felt useless, so he would beat his child after drinking heavily, and sometimes he would beat her too.
When Liu Dafeng was beaten, she would hug her child and cry, but after wiping away her tears, she would still go about her work as usual, without delaying anything.
Everyone in the town praised her for her competence, saying she was a good wife and a role model.
Less than two years later, the abusive mother-in-law died.
Three more years passed, and Liu Dafeng saved up some money and opened her own breakfast shop, which did quite well.
She was working herself to the bone, exhausted, while Zhao Yong was also busy, stealing money to go out and find other women, and gambling.
Before long, Zhao Yong had accumulated a mountain of debt.
Later, he suddenly fell ill due to long-term heavy drinking and died.
Creditors came knocking on his door demanding repayment, so Liu Dafeng had no choice but to pay off his debts again.
Five more years passed, and with the help of Li Haizhu, a male friend who had feelings for her, Liu Dafeng finally paid off all her debts.
Just after she decided to be with Li Haizhu, Zhao Wei was released from prison.
With nowhere else to go, Zhao Wei came to Liu Dafeng.
Liu Dafeng took pity on him, and since she was his elder sister-in-law, she took him in.
Finding a job for Zhao Wei and helping him get married delayed Liu Dafeng and Li Haizhu's wedding.
However, Liu Wei was not a grateful person. He shamelessly asked Liu Dafeng to let him and his wife run the breakfast shop, and kicked her out.
Liu Dafeng, considering that they had no source of income, actually agreed.
I originally planned to move to the city with Li Haizhu, which would also help my two children find good jobs there.
As a result, Zheng Xiaoying returned with her four-month-old son.
She knelt before Liu Dafeng and told her she had cancer, crying and begging her to help raise her child.
In a moment of madness, Liu Dafeng not only agreed but also lent Zheng Xiaoying money for medical treatment.
As a result, Zheng Xiaoying took the money, left the child behind, and ran away.
Liu Dafeng had no idea that the child Zheng Xiaoying brought back was not her biological child, but someone she had abducted.
Moreover, she had abducted the son of a wealthy and influential businessman, so when she was walking at night, she was ambushed and killed with a single blow.
……
[Host, the original owner's request was simply that she no longer wanted to suffer for herself and her child, and hoped to make amends to those who truly deserved her love, and send those heartless people to hell!]
Su Dingding's lips twitched slightly.
All she wants to say about this life story is: I'm sorry for being born!
