Chapter 199: Keeping silent will only make him more aggressive
Shin Soo-su and her mother applied medicine to all the wounds on her body, and then asked Shin Soo-su to pour water and drink the medicine.
When Shen's mother and Xiuxiu finished applying medicine to Shen's aunt and helped her out to sit down, the eldest aunt also ran over from the old courtyard of Shen Zhensheng's house in a hurry. If Xiao Baoer hadn't asked Dabao to call her and ask her to go to the new courtyard, she probably wouldn't have known.
"My dear, sister, why are you like this?"
The eldest aunt-in-law looked at her sister-in-law with eyes full of pity, her face and even forehead were covered with wounds. This sister-in-law was very different from the eldest sister-in-law who was always a troublemaker. She always spoke gently and was quite hardworking. The two of them had never had a quarrel since she got married.
When the younger sister-in-law saw her elder sister-in-law, her tears, which had just stopped for a short while, began to fall again. "Sister-in-law, that bastard kicked me out. He wanted to beat me to death."
Uncle Shen slammed the table in anger, "This matter is definitely not over yet, Zhensheng, go call your cousin and destroy that beast's house. I can't let my sister suffer this in vain, we must get rid of this evil."
Shen Zhensheng wanted to bring it up since his aunt came to his house last time to celebrate his grandparents' birthday, but seeing that his aunt didn't seem to be interested, he didn't say a word. It would be better to bring it up now. As for what to choose, it depends on his aunt, father, and uncle.
"Dad, uncle, I wanted to say it last time, and I'm going to say it this time. Beating him up is not a big deal, I can do it alone, but what happens after I beat him up? Once my aunt goes back, he will only get even worse and get back at her."
Father Shen glanced at Shen Zhensheng and asked thoughtfully, "Third Brother, what do you mean..."
Uncle Shen and the captain also looked at Shen Zhensheng at the same time, and actually understood what he meant.
"My opinion is not important. It depends on what you think. You have been beaten by him for so many years. Don't you realize it? Tolerating it will only make him more aggressive."
Aunt Shen's face was filled with tears and she was stunned. She had lived to such an old age and had never heard of divorce. If she got divorced, where would she go?
"But, but, but there is no such thing as divorce in this world. How can I live on my own if I get divorced?"
Father Shen also thought about what Shen Zhensheng said. What the third brother said did make sense. He could vent his anger now, but his sister still had a long life to live. Was she going to live like this for the rest of her life?
"What are you afraid of? You can come back to our family after the divorce. I can even cut off ties with the eldest and fourth sons. Why are you afraid of getting a divorce? Can't you survive if you divorce that bastard?" Shen's father roared in anger.
"Your third brother is right. If you leave me, come back to our family. Can we still use you among so many people? The problem is that you have to stand on your own feet. We can support you, but if you don't stand on your own feet, you will never survive," Uncle Shen also advised.
Seeing how hesitant and timid Shen Xiaogu was, the eldest aunt also advised, "Why can't you figure it out? Are you living a normal life in that family? That family treated you like a beast. If you have any blood in your veins, you shouldn't have swallowed your anger."
"What the eldest sister-in-law said is right. What my third daughter-in-law said is right. Women hold up half the sky. Women have hands and feet. They earn as much as men. You don't know how much easier your life will be. Don't you want to live like a human being?"
Shen's mother now somewhat understands what Xiao Baoer often told her: women hold up half the sky, and women must also be their own masters. Women are daughters, daughters-in-law, mothers, and grandmothers, but first and foremost they must be themselves.
The captain tapped his pipe and glanced at Aunt Shen. "What do you think? You understand what your brother and sister-in-law said, but no one can make the decision for you. If you still want to be beaten three times a day, then go back and see if that beast and that bitch will beat you to death."
Aunt Shen glanced at her natal family in the room and seemed to have made up her mind. Her brother and sister-in-law were right. How could she not be able to support herself when she was in good health? Moreover, her natal family were all good people. They did not look down on her and not let her into the house. Her natal family was her strength. All the grievances she and her three daughters had suffered over the years must be redressed all at once.
Aunt Shen wiped the tears from her face with her chilblained hands. She said with a firm determination, "I've made up my mind. I want to divorce him. I'm fine. I won't starve to death."
Shen Zhensheng felt relieved when he saw that Shen Xiaogu had made up her mind. He was just afraid that Shen Xiaogu would become depressed and jump into the fire pit. If that happened, no one would be able to save her.
The captain asked Shen Zhensheng, "Zhensheng, do you have any idea on how to solve this matter? We can't just let our Shen family suffer such a great injustice."
Shen Zhensheng's eyes were filled with anger. "Of course we can't just let it go. He has made my aunt suffer for so many years, and can divorce solve the problem? We will get a divorce tomorrow, but we will also avenge this grudge tomorrow.
"Little aunt, since you have made up your mind, we will accompany you back tomorrow. Dad, uncle, mother, and aunt, you all go tomorrow. Captain, ask all the men of the Shen family to follow me tomorrow. I want to seek justice for the Shen family."
Luo Jinhua, who had a bad temper, immediately perked up when she heard that they were going to beat up the beast. "Okay, do you have enough people? If not, I'll go back to my mother's house and ask your seven uncles, aunts, and 21 cousins to come and beat up this bunch of beasts."
Shen Zhensheng was so angry that he laughed at his mother's words. His mother was really cruel. She was going to kill someone. "Mom, I know you have people from your mother's family, but we have enough people from the Shen family. We will go tomorrow, no matter how heavy the snow is."
After the few people had discussed it, the team leader went door to door to negotiate with the men and women of the Shen family. When the women in the family heard that little aunt Shen had suffered such a great injustice and was almost beaten to death and chased back, they all expressed their willingness to go with them tomorrow to scratch that little bitch's face. The team leader also agreed to let them go, as they had more power in numbers.
After the engagement was severed, the eldest wife had moved out, so Shen's mother and Shen Xiuxiu cleaned up the room where the eldest wife used to live for Shen's aunt. Shen's mother also took out a thick quilt. When Shen's aunt touched the thick mattress on the bed and the quilt, her tears fell uncontrollably. The quilts she had used in that house had been used for more than ten years, and they were left over by the old woman.
"Xiumei, you can live in this room with peace of mind from now on. I'm busy at home now, and I'll still be counting on your help when you recover from your injury," Shen's mother talked to her sister-in-law while sitting on the warm kang.
"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Who has extra food nowadays? And now I have to feed another person," said Aunt Shen, feeling full of guilt.
"Look, you're overthinking it again, aren't you? The last time you came here, you saw how well my third brother's family is doing. My third brother's wife is a capable person. She taught me and my second brother's family some skills, and she also found a way for your third brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother to make a living. You just stay here and watch. Our family is more lively than you think. You just need to lend a hand when the time comes."
Shen's mother knew that Shen's aunt would feel uneasy if she was allowed to live here for free and support her, so she planned to discuss with the second brother's family and take her to make cakes together, and then give her some money so that she could live a more comfortable life.
