1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Qin Xinghua couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they burst out. Her face was twisted in pain, and she said in a trembling voice: "Li Quanzhen, please be reasonable! How can you blame me? I clearly didn't do anything!"

"Humph! It's because of you that you just eat and do nothing all day and don't think about how to live. I am living like this now because of you! Tell me, who did you give all the food and money I brought back?"

Li Quanzhen still refused to give in and slapped Qin Xinghua in the face.

Qin Xinghua covered her face with one hand, feeling grief-stricken and angry.

At this moment, her body was shaking constantly, her hands were clenched into fists, and she shouted loudly: "I have already said that I did not take money and food from my family to give to my family, why don't you believe me?"

"Believe you? Believe that you will end up with nothing. Look at the sister-in-law, she knows how to live! And look at you, you are not good at anything!" Li Quanzhen continued to speak ill of him.

Qin Xinghua's face was covered with tears, and her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "I really didn't..."

"Really? Do you dare to swear to God that you have never given anything to your mother's family? Otherwise, you will die miserably!"

Li Quanzhen's words were like sharp swords, piercing Qin Xinghua's heart.

Qin Xinghua looked at Li Quanzhen in disbelief: "Yes, I will not die a good death, and you deserve it too! Why did my elder brother and his wife leave without saying goodbye? It's all because of what you did!"

"You think you did it perfectly, haha... There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. The situation of the Dahu family is right in front of us. Big brother and big sister-in-law are not blind or deaf. You... deserve it!"

Qin Xinghua never dared to shout about this matter before, but Li Quanzhen beat and kicked her again and again.

Even a clay man has a temper, and Qin Xinghua had never suffered any injustice in these years. How could she tolerate Li Quanzhen's treatment now? So she fought back desperately.

Inside the house, Li Quanzhen and Qin Xinghua were arguing fiercely, and both of their faces were so gloomy that water could drip out of them.

Qin Xinghua's eyes widened with anger, her fingers almost poking Li Quanzhen's nose, and she shouted, "Li Quanzhen, you know in your heart that none of the things you have done over the years can be seen in the light.

You are incompetent and lazy. You don't do any housework at all. All you do is eat and wait to die all day long!

If we hadn't gone to Big Brother's house to plunder, would we have been able to survive until now? How dare you mention that money and food? That was all Big Brother and Sister-in-law saved from their teeth so that they could help the Dahu family, and you actually hid it all!"

Li Quanzhen's face flushed red, his eyes burned with anger, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You stinky bitch, shut up!"

But Qin Xinghua would never give up. She continued in a shrill voice, "Also, for the sake of your youngest son's marriage, you even borrowed money for your eldest nephew's medical treatment and leg treatment. You are so shameless!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the deepest shame in Li Quanzhen's heart.

He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked Qin Xinghua hard.

Qin Xinghua screamed, blood spurted out of her mouth, and she fell heavily to the ground.

However, Qin Xinghua also had a strong personality and she would never let Li Quanzhen go easily.

Even though there was blood on the corner of her mouth, she still yelled at the top of her lungs: "Li Quanzhen, you are such a heartless person! Today, I will tell you everything you have done over the years!

Let the whole village know what kind of person you are!"

When Li Quanzhen heard these words, he had completely lost his mind. He turned around, picked up a bench beside him, raised it above his head, and prepared to smash it towards Qin Xinghua who was lying on the ground.

If this bench fell down, Qin Xinghua would be seriously injured if not killed. After all, she is no longer young and her body cannot withstand such torture.

At this critical moment, Li Xiuzhi, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, rushed in.

In fact, she had already been standing outside the door when her parents started arguing.

She was filled with helplessness and sadness at seeing her parents quarreling endlessly. She thought it was better to keep out of trouble, so she chose to listen to the situation outside the door first.

But when she heard about the shameful past between her parents, she felt that it was the greatest shame in her life.

"Dad, what are you doing? Are you going to beat my mom to death?" Li Xiuzhi shouted at the top of her lungs.

Li Quanzhen's hand that was holding up the bench stopped in mid-air. He widened his eyes and the ferocious look on his face instantly turned into fear and helplessness.

Just now, anger rushed to his head and he really wanted to beat Qin Xinghua in front of him to death.

Unfortunately, times are different now than they were in the past. If you beat someone to death, you have to pay with your life. Although he was ashamed and angry just now, he couldn't afford to pay with his life!

Qin Xinghua was lying on the ground with messy hair and eyes filled with anger and despair.

Li Xiuzhi burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Are you two done yet? Are you sure you want to break up this family?"

At this time, the neighbors around heard the noise and gathered around.

Some people were peeking into the house, while others were pointing and talking at the door.

"This Li Quanzhen is too outrageous. He actually treated his wife so harshly."

"That's right. Listening to what they were arguing about, this family is really..."

"Who would have thought that Li Quanfu and his wife would help Li Quanzhen's family so much? The truth turns out to be this..."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. No wonder Li Dajiang and his wife want to move their family to the city. With relatives like this, who would want to live in the village..."

"That's not the point. What's important is that you eat and take things from others, and you still scheme against them. You're really shameless..."

The whole town heard these discussions. The bench in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. All the strength seemed to be drained from his body. He collapsed to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and let out a painful sigh.

Li Xiuzhi looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, her heart filled with despair.

She turned around and shouted to the neighbors at the door: "What are you looking at! Go away!"

The neighbors then dispersed in embarrassment, but their looks and comments were like thorns that pierced deeply into Li Quanzhen's heart.

Li Xiuzhi walked to Qin Xinghua, helped her up, and said softly, "Mom, let's get up first."

Qin Xinghua leaned on her daughter and sobbed.

"Xiuzhi! Mom really didn't give the money and food from our family to your parents' home. Your dad went crazy as soon as he came home. Mom feels so wronged!"

Li Xiuzhi looked at Li Quanzhen squatting in the corner and said coldly, "Dad, think about it carefully. Given our family's situation, will Mom give away our belongings? As for why my uncle's family has distanced themselves from you, you know it yourself without me having to tell you!"

After saying that, she helped Qin Xinghua into the inner room, leaving Li Quanzhen alone there, falling into deep self-blame and shame.
