Phi-Fic Chapter 8 Saving the Abused Mother
Chapter 8 Saving the Abused Mother
She'd wanted to beat that old hag for a long time.
In the few years since they got married, he has made many sarcastic remarks about her and ruined her reputation in public.
"Ah---You little slut, you've gone too far! How dare you hit me?! Everyone come quick! The daughter-in-law is hitting her mother-in-law! Officer, are you going to do anything about this?!"
Niu Xianghong screamed and lunged at him, attacking and cursing at the same time.
"Okay, okay, stop fighting."
The police were at a loss and had no choice but to step in and mediate the fight.
Patients and their families in the ward were all excitedly watching with gossipy expressions, and patients were craning their necks to see what was going on in the hallway outside the ward.
The attending nurse quickly squeezed in and shouted, "Quiet down! This is a ward, not a market. Don't cause trouble. If you want to cause trouble, go home!"
After a while of commotion, everyone finally quieted down.
Standing behind Niu Xianghong, her brother-in-law Liu Jianguo glared at Ye Xiaoli with a grim expression and couldn't help but criticize her:
"Sister-in-law, you have no manners at all. You hit your own husband, and now you're even hitting your mother. I really don't know how your Ye family raises its children."
"Ha---Pah!"
Ye Xiaoli scoffed and pointed at Liu Jianguo, cursing:
"Who do you think you are? You're just a pig with a scallion stuck in its nose, pretending to be an elephant! Your brother beat me so badly I had to be hospitalized several times, where was your elephant then? Were you blind when your mother hit me just now?"
"You are simply unreasonable."
Liu Jianguo's face turned black with anger. He considered himself a respectable person with a work unit, so he angrily cursed and turned his head away.
There's no point in talking to this shrew.
"What a jinx! Our Liu family is truly cursed, a misfortune for the family! We married a shameless shrew like you, who beats both her husband and her mother-in-law. In the old days, she would have been drowned in a pig cage!"
Niu Xianghong, with disheveled hair, slapped her thighs, crying and making a scene.
"Ha! Drowning pigs in a cage—the Qing Dynasty is long gone."
Ye Xiaoli scoffed, looking down at Niu Xianghong with an expression as if she were watching a monkey on a stage.
Police officers and nurses pulled and persuaded the patient, while patients and their families whispered among themselves.
"The man was hospitalized because this woman beat him up. Oh my, what a loser. A grown man, getting beaten up by a woman and ending up in the hospital. What a disgrace to men."
"Haha! The key point is that this guy is a domestic abuser, yet he got beaten up like this by his wife. He deserves it!"
"That old woman is no good either, trying to drown her in a pig cage? What era are we living in?"
"No matter what, hitting your mother-in-law is wrong."
......
"Alright, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
At this moment, Liu Yuanzhi, the father-in-law who had been sitting steadily on the edge of the bed, couldn't help but stand up and shout loudly to stop the old woman from continuing her tantrum.
Niu Xianghong reluctantly got up from the ground, glaring angrily at Ye Xiaoli.
Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward and said to Officer Liu:
"Officer, we accept mediation and won't cause any trouble for the government. We'll sign now."
As he spoke, Liu Yuanzhi gestured to Liu Wuyang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glaring angrily at Ye Xiaoli.
Liu Wuyang was indignant and extremely unwilling, but he gritted his teeth and said:
"I can sign, but I require Ye Xiaoli to stay with me and take care of me at the hospital."
He paused for a moment, then added:
"They have to do it my way, take care of me personally, and satisfy me."
This woman is ruthless now; she's no longer the person he knew.
He needs to add an extra layer of insurance for himself.
"What are you dreaming about?! Doing what you want, in broad daylight?!"
When I was hospitalized, did you, or any of your in-laws, take care of me? No, not a single one.
Now you want me to take care of you? You really dare to dream! Fine, if you want me to take care of you, I'll take care of you all the way to the morgue, how about that?
"puff!"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Liu Wuyang's face turned a deep shade of liver with rage, and he pointed at Ye Xiaoli, cursing loudly:
"Ye Xiaoli, you shrew, you're completely unreasonable."
Your minor injury didn't require hospitalization at all, but you exaggerated it and insisted on being hospitalized.
I haven't even said you deliberately wasted my money!
"Bullshit! You beat me unconscious back then, and I had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. I got more than one medical report for my injuries."
Are you blind, or are you out of your mind, or are you saying the hospital is ripping you off?
In short, if you want me to take care of you, there's no way. Go ahead and ask if you're not afraid of dying.
"Officer, listen to this! Is this human language? This is a blatant threat!"
Liu Wuyang's face turned pale with anger. He pointed at the two men and said fiercely:
"Is this your attitude?! You want me to sign anything? Don't even think about it..."
"Fine! You can disagree, but I'm actually looking forward to a few days of peace and quiet in the detention center!"
Ye Xiaoli snorted and laughed nonchalantly.
It's like they're talking about going to a detention center or a health club.
"Alright, stop fooling around and sign it already."
Liu Yuanzhi frowned and forcefully compelled his youngest son to sign the mediation agreement.
After the police left, the attending nurse waved and urged the surrounding patients and their families to hurry up:
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, everyone disperse."
Just as Ye Xiaoli was about to leave, her father-in-law blocked her way.
"Xiaoli! This time it's Wuyang's fault, not yours. He made a mistake, and he deserved to be beaten."
You shouldn't have hit so hard. What would you and your child do if something bad happened?
And another thing! His hospitalization not only cost money, but also disrupted his work.
I heard from Wu Yang that he is highly valued by his superiors and will soon receive a raise.
Do you think this incident won't ruin his future?
Dad isn't blaming you for saying this. Since it's already happened, let's try our best to make amends.
"These next few days, you need to be diligent and attentive, take good care of Wuyang, and get him discharged from the hospital as soon as possible so I can earn some money for you. Okay?"
My father-in-law, Liu Yuanzhi, is indeed a retired political cadre; his eloquence is truly remarkable.
"Make money for me? Ha!"
Ye Xiaoli looked at her father-in-law, Liu Yuanzhi, whose eyes were deep and unfathomable, with a half-smile.
“Besides the three thousand yuan monthly allowance, I’ve also seen a penny! Fine, don’t try to scheme against me anymore. I’ve made up my mind: divorce! If you don’t agree, we’ll see you in court.”
Father-in-law Liu Yuanzhi's face hardened, and he sternly rebuked him:
"What kind of talk is that? It's just a couple having a fight. Does it really have to go to court for a divorce?"
You young people are so sentimental. Life is never smooth sailing. Every family has its ups and downs.
Don't keep bringing up divorce, aren't you ashamed?
"Shameful? It's the abusive husbands who beat their wives who are shameful!"
Ye Xiaoli uttered a harsh remark and turned to leave.
"Get a divorce, get a divorce right away, get a divorce from you, you shrew, and my son will find a good one immediately."
The mother-in-law, Niu Xianghong, couldn't stand her daughter-in-law's arrogance, so she immediately chased after her and shouted at Ye Xiaoli's back.
“Sure! As long as your son agrees, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in fifteen days.”
Ye Xiaoli couldn't wait to get a divorce tomorrow, but she also knew it was impossible; the scumbag wouldn't be able to leave the hospital for at least ten days or half a month.
The father-in-law immediately stepped forward, grabbed Niu Xianghong's arm, and sternly reprimanded her:
"What nonsense are you spouting? What divorce? Do you think it's so easy to get married these days? Wu Yang is making a scene about divorce at such a crucial moment. Does he even care about his future?"
