Chapter 38: Sacrifice
With my wallet and keys, I was ready to go out, but my sixth sense told me that Zhang Shiyang would never let me off today. However, when I thought about my father's body, I still mentally prepared myself. No matter what Zhang Shiyang did to me today, I had to counterattack because I was no longer the soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. 2
I went to the cemetery and met Zhang Shiyang according to the agreed location, but by his side, I saw a person I had never wanted to see, Zhang Shiyang the person who cheated, my former neighbor.
She was still as beautiful as before. She had delicate makeup on her face, and her charming eyes were staring at me with anger and unwillingness. I was a little surprised that she would have such a look because according to my understanding Zhang Shiyang she was obedient to her. This was a qualitative leap from her previous scolding and beating. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
When she saw that I was here, she sized up my clothes and saw a contemptuous smile on my face. She said sarcastically," This Yellow-faced Granny is Yellow-faced Granny. Look at your current clothes. You deserve to be abandoned by a man." Thinking of the brand-name red dress that he had bought to be able to crush me today, he felt even more pleased. He continued," Tsk tsk, I don't know how to dress up when I go out."
After saying that, he held Zhang Shiyang arm and wanted to show his sovereignty. But what she didn't expect was that I did n' t care. What she didn't know was that I had given up on Zhang Shiyang a long time ago. I felt that she had snatched away Zhang Shiyang just to get to know me.
This was the second time I had met that woman. Every time, it made me feel extremely disgusted. She was dressed so flirtatiously that she didn't show any respect for the dead. Today was Uncle Zhang's day of sacrifice. How could I put my heart into dressing up? When I saw her imposing manner, I felt a trace of pity besides disgust.
I didn't want to pay any attention to her. I walked around the pair of men and women and knelt before Uncle Zhang's grave. I just continued to give him incense. In his heart, he kept apologizing to Uncle Zhang. I hope he can forgive me for not taking care of Zhang Shiyang. I also hope that he can bless Zhang Shiyang to repent at an early date and not be muddled all day.
After three clicks, I continued to burn paper money in front of Uncle Zhang's tomb. I always felt that he had been looking at me all this while. Suddenly, I felt a warm breeze blowing, bringing with it a fragrance. The paper money danced in the air with the wind as if Uncle Zhang had come to my side.
Xia Lian saw that I actually ignored her and pulled me up. He cursed," Don't pretend to be here. Do n' t you think I don't know just because you' re so careful?" She just couldn't bear to see my noble appearance. I looked at her like I was looking at the clown.
I looked at her with a look of disdain and said," I'm here for Uncle Zhang's sake, not to listen to your scolding." I was a little suspicious of Zhang Shiyang taste. How could he have found such a proud and arrogant woman with only a beautiful appearance and no brains?
Xia Lian hurriedly pushed the Zhang Shiyang. He had been in a daze in front of the tomb, completely forgetting the plan they had agreed to. She angrily whispered in his ear," You trash, look at that slut who bullied me."
Zhang Shiyang revealed a helpless expression. Clearly, she did not want to make things difficult for me in front of her father. She could only begin coaxing Xia Lian in a good voice," Baby, look, it's not too late to teach this slut a lesson after we leave the cemetery." He also had a conscience. He saw that there was actually a trace of guilt in my heart when I put his father on the grave like this. He remembered how much he wished he could treat me well when his father was still alive.
After I went to the grave, I was about to leave when Xia Lian stopped me and started to insult me.
"Say, are you feeling guilty that you've been ignoring me?" Xia Lian continued to chatter on as she shouted loudly to attract the crowd. That's good. She treated her like air, so she had to teach me a lesson.
"Everyone, come take a look. It's this shameless woman who seduced my husband and still dares to visit my father-in-law's grave." Xia Lian described me as a shameless villain. When she saw everyone looking at me with contempt, a proud smile appeared on her face. She knew my personality very well and would only cry in the face of such a scene.
But the current me was no longer the same as before. I had changed my mind and I would never be bullied like this.
Seeing the onlookers pointing at me, I couldn't stand it any longer. Thinking of Sister Wang's words, I couldn't be so weak. I could n' t let this woman flaunt her power in front of me. I raised my hand and slapped Xia Lian face." You slut, shut up."
Xia Lian face immediately swelled up and she shut her sarcastic mouth. She would never have imagined that the woman who had been disobedient before would actually do such a violent thing. Looking at the expressions of the onlookers, she couldn't believe it. She had always been the one Xia Lian bully others. When had it been someone else's turn to bully her?
She quickly wanted to fight back, but she was dodged by me. It wasn't that easy for her to hit me.
Seeing that Xia Lian couldn't hit me, she was furious
"Don't listen to this woman's nonsense." I remembered the marriage certificate in my bag. I had always carried it with me. He took out his marriage certificate and showed it to the crowd.
Xia Lian didn't expect that I would bring a marriage certificate with me. He looked at Zhang Shiyang in surprise. He was also stunned for a moment. He snatched the marriage certificate and tore it apart. He had long regarded marrying me as a humiliation for his entire life. Previously, he had never divorced because I had kept him alive, but now that he had Xia Lian this marriage certificate was naturally the evidence that he wanted to destroy the most.
He had always been surprised Xia Lian why he didn't ask him to go through the divorce formalities with me, but Xia Lian only smiled mysteriously and said," It will be useful in the future."
As he tore up my identity card, my heart shattered. Even though I felt that it was impossible for me to do so, his indifferent attitude towards me annoyed me.
I couldn't control my emotions. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I said loudly," Zhang Shiyang you' re an unfilial son. You're now looking at that woman in front of Uncle Zhang. Have you considered my feelings?" I released all the grievances I had experienced these days.
"Did you forget how Uncle handed me over to you?" I continued," Kneel down. I want you to repent in front of Uncle's grave. Look at your current state. Have you done a good deed?" Thinking of Zhang Shiyang recent actions that had been intensified, I wanted to teach Uncle Zhang a lesson about this unfilial son.
Zhang Shiyang looked at me with an incredulous expression. He didn't expect that I would resist him in such a short period of time. Was this really the woman who had never dared to resist? Looking at my quick response, he still felt disbelief because in his impression, I had never spoken to him so loudly.
I continued," Today is Uncle's day of sacrifice. Have you ever served an incense stick?" I pointed at the fallen leaves piled up in front of Uncle Zhang's tomb and continued to question," How long have you not seen Uncle?"
Zhang Shiyang was stunned. It had indeed been a long time since he had come to see his father. When he saw the loneliness in front of his father's grave, he felt ashamed and muttered to his father," Father, I..." He had been depressed for a long time because of his father's death. He had also done a lot of unreasonable things to me. If his father was alive, he would definitely not want him to be like this.
Xia Lian saw that things weren't going well and quickly pinched Zhang Shiyang. He leaned against his chest and cried," Yangyang, that Yellow-faced Granny actually hit me. Look at my face. "Don't listen to her nonsense. Everything you' re doing right now is the result of that Yellow-faced Granny. Think about it. If it weren't for her family, would you have become like this?" Seeing her originally beautiful face become red and swollen, her delicate makeup became mottled.
Zhang Shiyang was a little puzzled, but when he saw Xia Lian determined expression in his eyes, he began to lie to himself and muttered," Yes, it was all her fault." He wanted to escape from the reality that he had done nothing, so he vented all his anger on me.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to jeer:
"This unfilial son, quickly kneel down."
"If I had such a son, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if I died."
"With such a good wife, she actually wants to find that kind of woman.
He was a person who had good face to begin with. Now that he had made a fool out of himself in public, even if he had just felt a little regretful, he had disappeared without a trace. His face turned grim as he said," Alright, you slut. I originally thought that today would be my father's day of sacrifice so I did n' t want to make things difficult for you. I really don't want to make things difficult for you."
I replied with a cold smile," I've been mentally prepared. Even if you beat me to death today, I' ll make you repent at my uncle's grave."
At this moment, Zhang Shiyang could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. He didn't fight for three days. He thought that I had forgotten the taste of being beaten.
He kicked me to the ground and the pain in my heart came from my lower leg. It was the place that I was injured by him last time. I hadn't fully recovered yet. This time, I continued to be kicked by him forcefully, making things worse.
Just as I was about to close my eyes and not be able to resist, despair appeared in my heart, but there was still more regret. Zhang Shiyang he was going to beat me at Uncle Zhang's grave today, it could be seen that he no longer had any conscience.
The expected pain didn't fall on me. I opened my eyes in surprise and saw a skinny man stop Zhang Shiyang trying to beat my hand.
Looking at his back, I was a little surprised. He said that officials were difficult to resolve family affairs. Wasn't he afraid of causing trouble when he came out to help me?
