Chapter 1492: Chapter 1314 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"In seven days, will Axiang still be alive when she comes back?"

"Well, Axiang, that little brazen woman, really does have some nerve. Who doesn’t have to endure some hardships as a daughter-in-law? Not only does she run away from home because she suffers a bit, but she also hangs out with an idiot. Although that idiot is indeed foolish, he is still a grown man. This time, I really support Aunt Zhao."

"I support Aunt Zhao too! Father-in-law, you better punish Axiang sooner rather than later. Otherwise, all the girls in Peach Blossom Village will be led astray by her. Today one follows an idiot, tomorrow another follows a cripple; nobody wants to stay at home anymore."

Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Ma had long been close with Aunt Zhao, and now naturally spoke in support of her.

...

Axiang grabbed a shovel and headed towards the entrance of the village, planning to weed the seedlings at the idiot’s house and clear some weeds on the Pingba.

On the way, she encountered some villagers who kept staring at her with strange looks.

Axiang thought that the villagers were staring because she was staying at the idiot’s house, so she lowered her head and tried not to look at them.

She had just reached the fields when Aunt Wang approached her worriedly, "Axiang, you are truly suffering. This time, you must get through it."

"Get through it? Get through what?" Axiang didn’t understand what Aunt Wang meant.

Aunt Wang puzzled, "You don’t know yet? I heard Aunt Zhao went to the village chief. She said you haven’t divorced Zhao Datu yet. That means you’re still part of Zhao Datu’s family. If you really want to leave, you’ll have to endure some torture. It’s said they’ll take you to the commune to judge you, and beat you for seven days."

Axiang’s shovel dropped to the ground, her face turned pale: "Seven days?"

"Yes, Axiang. Perhaps Aunt Zhao’s aim is to have you come back as her daughter-in-law. Think about it, you’re so thin, after seven days of beating, will you still be alive?" Aunt Wang was very worried too.

Axiang clenched her teeth, her chest heaving with anger.

Seven days, that was literally going to be the end of her.

What should she do?

She no longer had the mindset to weed and carried the shovel back to the idiot’s house. Just as she was approaching the door, she saw her mother, Widow Chen, at the entrance.

As soon as Widow Chen saw Axiang, she ran up to her, still scolding, "You foolish girl, I thought you were just throwing a tantrum by staying here, but it turns out you’re planning to stay here permanently. Have you heard? Your mother-in-law is going to take you to the commune to be beaten."

Seeing Widow Chen like this, Axiang felt somewhat angry, "Mother, isn’t this just what you wanted? If they beat me to death, you won’t have to feel embarrassed anymore."

"Are you truly not going back to the Zhao family?" Widow Chen asked.

Axiang shook her head, "Mother, if you’re here to help, don’t make things more chaotic. If you’re trying to persuade me to reconsider and return to the Zhao family, then don’t come here anymore. Even if they beat me to death, I won’t go back."

Widow Chen became furious but didn’t know where to direct her anger.

Ever since Axiang moved into the idiot’s house, Widow Chen had always blamed her. But since Xia Dabao had spun that narrative, some sympathetic women in the village started to take pity on Axiang, and some kind-hearted ones came to ask her not to be too harsh on Axiang. If Axiang hadn’t been driven to this point, who could do such a thing?

Gradually, Widow Chen’s anger subsided. She had just been busy in the field when a villager told her that Axiang was going to be beaten. She was anxious and had thought about coming to persuade Axiang to return to the Zhao family to avoid being beaten, but seeing Axiang’s attitude, she knew Axiang would rather die than go back.
