Chapter 168 No one is allowed to bully my wife!
When Chen Moli returned to the Chen family, they were having dinner.
Everyone was just busy eating and no one asked her if she had eaten.
There was a plate of cured fish, a bowl of fried cabbage, and a bowl of fermented bean curd on the dining table. If Chen Moli ate, the plate of cured fish was usually not hers.
If she picked up food with chopsticks without permission, Jiang Ruyi would scold her for half an hour, saying that girls should not be greedy, otherwise they would be laughed at when they went to their in-laws' house. She also said that girls who ate too much meat would gain weight and become ugly.
Whenever Chen Moli thought of these nonsense, she felt sad.
Jiang Ruyi saw Chen Moli standing still at the door, glanced at her and said, "How did you come back empty-handed? Where's the cloth?"
Chen Moli said calmly: "There were too many people, and I didn't get one."
Jiang Ruyi: "Forget about it if you didn't get it, just return the household registration booklet and the money to me."
Chen Moli placed the Chen family's household registration book on the dining table: "This is returned to you. The money is gone. I used it."
Jiang Ruyi was shocked: "You used it?! You spent all the 5 yuan? What did you do? Tell the truth, or I'll skin you alive!"
Chen Moli: "I got married today, I was very happy, I went to a restaurant and watched a movie, I spent all the money."
Chen family: “???!!!”
Chen Maocai, Chen's father, put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked uncertainly, "You just said you were married? Who did you marry?"
Chen Moli took out the marriage certificate from her pocket, spread it out, and said expressionlessly: "Zhou Jiafu and I are married. We got the certificate today."
(Marriage certificate from the 50s)
Chen Maocai took two quick steps, snatched the marriage certificate, looked at the names of Zhou Jiafu and Chen Moli written in the "married persons" column, as well as the seal of the municipal government, and angrily slapped Chen Moli in the face.
"You are such a self-depraved bitch! You actually eloped with a man. How could I, Chen Maocai, have a daughter like you?!"
Jiang Ruyi snatched the marriage certificate from Chen Maocai's hand, looked at it again and again, and found that it did not look fake. She was so angry that she twisted Chen Moli's arm several times.
"You really are a money-loser! You got married to a man without your parents' consent. Did the Zhou family instigate you? Do you want to avoid paying our betrothal gift?"
Chen Moli covered her cheek that was hurt and said tearfully: "It has nothing to do with the Zhou family. I dragged Zhou Jiafu to get the marriage certificate myself. I don't want you to sell me like an object.
The government has issued a decree that men and women are equal, marriage is free, and arranged marriages are prohibited. I can marry whoever I want, and you have no right to interfere."
Chen Maocai was so angry that he wanted to hit Chen Moli again, but she dodged him.
"How dare you hide, you bastard?! I am your father. From the day you were born, I have the final say. I don't agree to this marriage unless the Zhou family pays the betrothal gift as required. Otherwise, I will destroy their family!"
Jiang Ruyi: "The Zhou family is not doing things right. It's not enough to just compensate for the betrothal gift. They also want an additional 200 yuan apology fee. If you don't give it, I will let everyone know about their wicked deeds!"
Chen Moli's sister-in-law Fang Ping took the opportunity to say, "Moli is now someone else's family. It's time for me to take over her job. Don't let outsiders take advantage of it."
When Chen Aimei assigned a job to Chen Moli, Fang Ping wanted to take over, but she and Chen Aimei didn't have a good relationship. Chen Aimei had said that if she dared to take over, the job in the Statistics Department would be given to someone else.
Chen Maocai and Jiang Ruyi thought at the time that since Chen Moli's surname was Chen, she was more reliable than Fang Ping, who had a different surname, so they dared not fail to hand over her salary.
Moreover, Chen Moli had a job, and the threshold for admission to her husband's family was also high, so she acquiesced to Chen Aimei's arrangement.
Fang Ping made a scene at home several times because of this and wanted to take her son back to her parents' home. In order to appease her, the old couple promised to give her the job after Chen Moli got married. Only then did she calm down and go to work as a temporary worker in the shipyard.
Chen Moli's elder brother Chen Wenjie was afraid of hard work and didn't want to work as a workshop worker in an iron factory, so he spent money and used his connections to buy a job as a security guard in a shipyard.
The money for buying the jobs was paid by the family, but the couple did not hand over their wages and even ate for free at home. Whenever Chen Maocai and Jiang Ruyi expressed dissatisfaction, Fang Ping threatened to take the children back to her parents' home.
Chen Wenjie also said that if the old couple pushed him too far, he would become a live-in son-in-law of the Fang family so that no one would break the pot for them after a hundred years.
Chen Maocai and Jiang Ruyi didn't dare to quarrel with their eldest son, so they could only let them do what they wanted. When they were angry, they took it out on Chen Moli...
Chen Moli was fed up with these people and sneered, "Don't even think about my job, I won't give it up!
Since I was born, you have looked down on me and abused me. If I want to eat a piece of meat, I have to depend on your mood and get beaten and scolded. The salary I have handed over in the past few years is enough to repay your kindness in raising me, and there is even more after converting it all.
The slap just now has severed all the relations between us. From now on, you are no longer my parents or brothers. We will live our own lives and not disturb each other! "
"You son of a bitch! You're so rebellious! How dare you break off relations with us? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. You'll never be able to repay me for what you owe me in this lifetime!
Do you think that after attending night school for a few years, taking a class, and learning some new ideas, you will be free? Dream on! You hold her down, I will beat her to death today and let her know the consequences of betraying her parents! "
While Chen Maocai was looking for a stick, he shouted to Jiang Ruyi and the others to catch Chen Moli.
Fang Ping liked to see Chen Moli being beaten miserably, so she quickly grabbed her arm, and Chen Wenjun, the younger brother of the Chen family, also came to help.
Chen Moli was held by them and couldn't move.
"Let me go, you bastards!"
Chen Wenjie: "You are a money-loser! You married someone secretly and have no self-respect at all. You deserve to be beaten. Xiaoli was waiting for a watch, a sewing machine and other things before she agreed to marry me! But you ran away with her for nothing. What should I do?!"
Zhou Jiafu waited near Chen's house for a long time, but did not see Chen Moli come out. Fearing that something had happened to her, he ignored the instructions and went to Chen's house to check the situation.
Seeing that Chen Moli's hands were being pulled by someone and an old man was holding a stick as if he was going to hit her, Zhou Jiafu picked up the broom at the door of Chen's house and hit Fang Ping and Chen Wenjie hard.
The two of them screamed in pain.
When Chen Maocai saw his youngest son being beaten, he angrily yelled, "Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you come to my house and beat people up? Do you want to die?!"
Zhou Jiafu protected Chen Moli behind him and said with a dark face: "You guys are bullying my wife, how shameless! I'm going to beat you up, you asked for it!"
Chen Maocai narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhou Jiafu for a long while: "Are you the one who abducted my daughter? Very good, I was just about to find you. You want to marry my daughter for free? No way!
500 yuan for the betrothal gift, a watch, a sewing machine, and a bicycle. Not one less is acceptable!"
Zhou Jiafu: "Moli said that she doesn't owe you anything. Why are you trading her as an object? Who of you hit her just now? Stand up!"
Chen Maocai: "I beat you, what do you think?"
"What? Of course I fought back! No one is allowed to bully my wife!"
After Zhou Jiafu finished speaking, he waved the broom at Chen Maocai.
The etiquette of not hitting the father-in-law doesn't work for him, not to mention that the father-in-law doesn't recognize him as his son-in-law.
Let me avenge my wife first...
