Joe's Farming

Xiaobai counted the money in his hand and found that there were 232 coins in total. He hid the money behind a loose brick in the kitchen.

Xiaobai's husband's surname is Gu, and her husband, Gu Xueting, has a wealthy ancestor, so although his family is poor, they live in a big brick and tile house. It's a pity that when it comes to her husband's generation, he has a prodigal son.

Not only was he a bad student since childhood, but when he grew up he was even more idle and liked to go to town to gamble. Even when he was 25, no one was willing to marry him. Unfortunately, he was the only son in his family, and his parents could do nothing about him.

Two years ago, Gu Xueting lost all his family fortune, which angered his father to death. His mother tried her best to prevent him from selling the last few acres of land, and even married him to Xiaobai, hoping that someone would take care of her son after her death.

When Xiaobai first married into her husband's family, her mother-in-law was still there. Although her husband didn't like her, he wouldn't beat her like he does now.

Xiaobai is a hard-working person and takes good care of the family both at home and outside.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Xiaobai's grandmother died of illness a year ago. Since then, Gu Xueting has fallen in love with alcohol. Xiaobai thought that her husband might be depressed, so she didn't try to stop him.

As a result, Gu Xueting drank more and more, and when he was drunk, he began to curse Xiaobai, calling him an unlucky star, saying that he had killed his mother, and that he could not have children and would extinct his family.

Xiaobai didn't dare to retort, and even felt that she was really sorry for her husband's family for not getting pregnant in a year. She didn't think about the fact that he had worked like a slave for the past year and had no time to take good care of himself.

Gradually, Gu Xueting was no longer satisfied with just scolding him and started beating him.

The first time he got beaten, Xiaobai was stunned. Even though he had fantasized about countless future husbands before, some were poor, lazy, and even old and ugly, but he had never thought that there would be one who would beat him.

Xiaobai ran back to her parents' home that same day.

When Xiaobai’s family saw that his head was bleeding, they were so angry that they took Xiaobai and attacked the Gu family.

As soon as Gu Xueting came to his senses, he realized that he had gone too far, and begged Xiaobai for forgiveness with tears in his eyes. Xiaobai was soft-hearted because he was her husband after all, and her husband was willing to admit his mistake, so she forgave him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xueting became Xiaobai's nightmare from then on.

Gu Xueting would start beating him every time he finished drinking, counting old scores while beating him, saying that he had made him lose face in the village, and that a chicken that didn't lay eggs had the nerve to ask his family to laugh at him.

Xiaobai ran away from his parents' home several more times. His parents helped him the first few times, but later Gu Xueting threatened that he would divorce him if he took Xiaobai in again. So his parents began to persuade him not to run away.

"As for a man, you just need to coax him well. Think about it yourself, why is he the only man in the village who beats his husband? Is it because you did something wrong and made him angry?" Xiaobai's father said.

Xiaobai went back to her husband's home crying that day, because she knew that she had to rely on herself from now on.

After that, whenever Gu Xueting wanted to sleep with him, he would try every means to avoid him, so Gu Xueting would beat him even harder.

The village chief came to talk to Gu Xueting several times, saying that he was affecting the reputation of the village and that they should divorce if they really couldn't get along.

Gu Xueting learned his lesson and only attacked in places where no one could see. Xiaobai himself didn't want to be pointed at by the villagers, so he dressed warmly.

In this way, almost a year passed, and the villagers had forgotten that Gu Xueting was a bad guy who beat her husband.

Gu Xueting received three hundred coins from her husband today and complained unhappily, "Why is it just this little?"

Xiao Bai said calmly, "Brother Qiao said that he has collected a lot recently, so the price cannot be too high."

Gu Xueting did not doubt him, his expression relaxed and he said, "I won't be back tonight, you can eat by yourself."

Xiao Bai knew that he must be going to the widow Liu's house in the east of the village, but he pretended not to know and nodded: "Yes."

Xiaobai was cooking for herself in the kitchen, staring at the flames in the stove in a daze.

He wanted to save money, and when he had saved enough, he would leave this home and escape to a place where no one knew him. It didn't matter if he had no household registration and became an illegal resident.

When Gu Xueting passed the entrance of the village, he saw Wang Dali who was still selling tofu and bought two pieces of tofu. Widow Liu's cooking skills were much better than her husband's, so she just went over to eat tofu.

Gu Xueting was thinking happily, but when he arrived at the door of Widow Liu's house, he saw Zhang the butcher from the next village coming out of the inner room.

Widow Liu was reluctant to leave and leaned against the door, the glares between the two of them were almost tearing tears.

Gu Xueting was so angry that he threw the tofu!

She kicked the gate open and yelled, "You stinky bitch! Can't you live without a man? You're cheating on me!"

When Widow Liu saw Gu Xueting, she quickly hid behind Zhang the Butcher and said delicately, "Brother Zhang, I have nothing to do with him. He is the one who is pestering me. You have to protect me."

Butcher Zhang comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I will punish him."

When Gu Xueting heard this, he was so furious that he rushed forward and cursed at the couple and wanted to beat them up.

But how could his body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, defeat a butcher who slaughtered pigs every day? After just two moves, he was pinned to the ground and beaten severely by Butcher Zhang.

"You changed my woman, but you don't even take a piss to look at yourself. Stay away from Guizhi from now on, or I will beat you up every time I see you!"

Butcher Zhang let the man go only after he had said those harsh words.

Widow Liu helped the butcher Zhang straighten his wrinkled clothes and asked coquettishly, "Brother Zhang, you said you would come to propose marriage, so don't make me wait too long."

Butcher Zhang said in a deep voice: "I will definitely not forget. Just wait for me."

Widow Liu didn't even bother to look at Gu Xueting, her whole attention was on Zhang the Butcher.

Gu Xueting's eyes turned red with hatred and he staggered out of Widow Liu's yard.

As soon as I got home, I saw Xiaobai alone in the kitchen, eating a bowl of rice porridge without any oil or water.

Xiaobai was enjoying the happy time of eating alone when he saw Gu Xueting rushing into the house with a bruised face.

Xiaobai shrank back in fear when he saw the ferocious look on his face.

Seeing that he didn't come to care about him immediately, Gu Xueting became even angrier and kicked Xiaobai to the ground.

"Unlucky star! Seeing you brings me bad luck! I'd rather beat you to death!"

Gu Xueting took out all the anger he had just received from Zhang the Butcher and Liu the Widow on Xiaobai, not caring whether outsiders would notice it.

Xiaobai tried hard to curl up his body to prevent him from hurting his vital parts, but his body still hurt a lot.

Xiaobai thought back to when she was still unmarried, she also fantasized about having a happy family in the future. She knew that it was difficult to give birth to a child, so if she couldn't have one, she would buy a baby. She would be filial to her parents-in-law and take good care of her husband. They might not have much money, but as a family, they could always get by with mutual support.

But, we can't go on like this anymore.

Xiaobai suddenly grabbed Gu Xueting's foot that was kicking him and pulled it hard.

Gu Xueting fell to the ground unexpectedly. He had never seen Xiaobai resist him before, and he cursed angrily: "You... you dare to pull me? I will beat you to death!"

Just as he was struggling to get up and give Xiaobai another good beating, he saw a kitchen knife coming towards him.

Gu Xueting's eyes widened. The last scene was the cold-eyed Xiaobai holding a knife and slashing at him...
