"Old man, you know so much. Is my wife virtuous?" Yan Huai was wearing a straw hat and sitting on the bullock cart.
He hired this ox cart to bring him back from the county town. He specially selected a man who usually talked a lot and believed that a wife must obey her husband and not disobey him.
When the topic comes up like this, the other party will definitely spread their own story.
Moreover, he had inquired and found out that this person's wife was a well-behaved and obedient type. She did not dare to refute anything he said.
In fact, there are many such women, and there are quite a few in Yanhuai Village. Many men feel that women should obey their arrangements unconditionally. If they don't comply with their wishes, they will beat and kick them.
In his early years, he could always hear that someone's wife was beaten to death by a man for being unruly.
Later I found out that it was just a man who went crazy with alcohol and beat someone to death by mistake. He was afraid of being arrested, interrogated and punished. The family members agreed that it was the woman who was unruly and he beat the person to death impulsively. It was reasonable.
middle.
His mother died like this, and it was then that he realized that many of these words were false, and they were just stories made up by people to exonerate themselves.
His drunkard father fell into a ditch and drowned when he was drunk. When he heard the news of his death, he felt happy inside and didn't feel sorry for himself at all.
He read because he knew that if he wanted to change the law, the only way was to read.
He studied so hard because his mother was beaten to death by an alcoholic father and was even stigmatized. He not only wanted to clear his mother's grievances, but also found a way to prevent such a thing from happening. Later he discovered that studying has a chance
accomplish.
When he met Mr. Meng, he saw a different hope in her and was even more eager to realize this wish.
"The one in my family is good at cooking and washing. She is very able to endure hardships and never complains. She can have hot meals when she comes home every day. After dinner, she will bring foot washing water to help me wash my feet..."
The old man in the oxcart kept showing off everything he enjoyed at home, and was quite proud of it. "As a wife, you should serve your husband well. That is a good wife."
Yan Huai felt a little nauseous, but continued: "What if you are the kind of wife who is fierce at home, and when scolded, she scolds her back, slaps her, and then slaps her back?" What should I do?
"A woman who dares to disobey her husband is not being a wife. If she is beaten once, she will become obedient. If she is not obedient, then beat her again until she becomes obedient."
Yan Huai clenched his fists, and the face covered by the straw hat lost his smile and turned to a chill.
He seemed to have returned to the scene when his drunk father beat his mother when he was young. At that time, he was just a little child. He tried to stop it, but it was of no use. His strength was too weak. He was locked outside the house and could only hear his mother.
The screams came from inside the house. That time my mother was beaten to death, and my father shouted outside: "You unruly bitch, I told you to hook up with a wild man..."
The whole village came and everyone knew that his mother was not a woman.
When my mother died, everyone clapped their hands and cheered. They didn't think it was wrong for the drunken father to accidentally beat his mother to death. Instead, they felt that he was doing harm to the people.
"What if we can't win?" Yan Huai continued to ask, "I think it's better to give up on this, right?"
The old man agreed very much: "If she is really too fierce, just get rid of her. They are all broken shoes. No man will want them. It depends on how she lives. Even her natal family will not be able to return to this kind of shoes."
Yan Huai glanced at Meng Chongxi and his son who had been listening not far away, and said: "Old man, keep driving. I want to go home early."
"okay."
