Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Aunt Yi suddenly stood up, facing Yi Zhonghai, staring at him without flinching and sneering, "Yi Zhonghai, do you really think I'm a person without temper? I've always felt that I owe you because I haven't been able to give you a child over the years! So I listen to you in everything!

No matter what immoral things you do, I will still do what you want even if I don't want to! You just want to make a name for yourself as a filial old man, and I have been taking care of the deaf old lady's food, drink, defecation and urination for so many years, and you have ruined my good reputation! But do you know how much I have been wronged?

The deaf old lady is greedy and always wants to eat good food. When she sees me bringing her cornmeal steamed bread, or mixed flour steamed bread, or cornmeal porridge, and sees no meat, she makes a face at me and says nasty things!

If I was late in emptying her urine bucket, she would give me a cold look! If she smelled something fragrant in the yard, she would force me to get her something delicious! She didn't care if I had any shame or not!

Sometimes when I talk to her, she pretends to be deaf and dumb. But as soon as she hears that someone’s family has made something delicious today, she will no longer be deaf and will force me to go and get it for her. If I don’t go, she will turn her face away from me and keep saying nasty things!

Zhuzi and his sister lived a miserable life after He Daqing ran away with the widow Bai. I couldn't bear it and wanted to take care of them, but what about you? In order to plot against Zhuzi, you didn't let me help them. I had to watch them suffer. Do you know how sad I was?

But I still went against my conscience and followed your instructions. I hardened my heart and watched them starve, and I didn't dare to give them food! Do you know how uncomfortable I felt when I did these things against my conscience?

You see, Yu Xiuying from the Lin family helped Zhuzi and his sister. You were afraid that she was pregnant with you, so you asked me to go out and spread rumors about her for you. I really couldn't say it! But I still helped you against my conscience!

Yu Xiuying died, leaving Xiaolin a poor sick child! Instead of pitying him and helping him, you helped the Jia family to rob his house and force him to death!

I really couldn't bear to watch it, seeing that child was so pitiful, I advised you not to go too far, it was too immoral! But you still got angry at me and didn't let me intervene, so I still ignored my conscience!

Just because I couldn't give you a child, I endured all these grievances!

But I didn't expect that you and the deaf old lady would also treat me like a fool! It's obviously you who can't have children, but you and her teamed up to say that I can't have children! You've been putting the blame on me for so many years!

It was not until this time when the Lin family kid said that it was you who couldn’t have a baby, not me who couldn’t have one, that I finally realized that it was you, Yi Zhonghai, who couldn’t have a baby, not me, Li Xiangyun! So we couldn’t have a baby, it wasn’t me, Li Xiangyun, who let you down, Yi Zhonghai, but you, Yi Zhonghai, who let me down, Li Xiangyun!

Now you still want to boss me around like before and force me to do things I don’t want to do. Let me tell you, Yi Zhonghai, it’s impossible for me to help Qin Huairu with her child. If you want to help her, it’s up to you, but don’t think of taking advantage of me!

And the deaf old lady in the backyard, I will not serve her from now on! Whoever wants to serve her can do it! She helped you to tell people that I have gynecological problems and can't have children. I am sorry to you, Yi Zhonghai. She hurt me so much and still expected me to serve her. Bah! She is dreaming!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard his wife reveal that he couldn't have children, he was stunned and stared at his wife in amazement. His lips began to tremble again. His face was full of surprise and disbelief. He said tremblingly: "You...you are talking nonsense! How could it be that I can't have children? You...you...it's you who can't have children! How can you believe the nonsense that little beast from the Lin family said? Don't believe him, he is just talking nonsense to disgust me!"

Aunt Yi sneered and said, "You said he was talking nonsense and deliberately making up rumors, right?"

Yi Zhonghai stiffened his neck and said in a timid tone, "That's right, he deliberately spread rumors! How could it be that I can't have children? He is talking nonsense!"

Aunt Yi continued to sneer as she watched Yi Zhonghai's expression change, and said, "Okay! Since he deliberately spread rumors and slandered you, let's go to the police station and sue him now! Sue him for spreading rumors and slander, and let the police station arrest him! Let the steel mill fire him! Let's go! Let's go now!"

Yi Zhonghai immediately got scared when he heard this. How could he dare to sue Lin Geng? He knew his own affairs well. The reason why he didn't dare to sue Lin Geng when Lin Geng called him a childless eunuch that day was because he felt guilty.

He was just surprised at how Lin Geng guessed it. He knew that the fact that he had no children was not due to his wife but to him. He was so panicked that he didn't dare to sue Lin Geng for spreading rumors!

If he wanted to sue Lin Geng for spreading rumors, at least Lin Geng had to be lying. But since Lin Geng was telling the truth, it didn't count as spreading a rumor. He had no way to deal with Lin Geng and could only swallow his anger and blood. Only a dumb person knows the pain of swallowing bitter herbs.

Now his wife wants to drag him to the police station and sue Lin Geng for spreading rumors, how can that be allowed? He is already not well-liked by the leaders and co-workers in the factory. If he provokes Lin Geng again, he might really lose his job. The key is that Lin Geng is not spreading rumors, he is telling the truth!

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped his wife who was about to drag him to the police station, and said anxiously, "What the hell are you doing today? Because of this incident, everyone in the factory hates me, even Director Yang is unwilling to protect me!

If I provoke that little bastard again, and word gets out to the factory, the factory leaders will fire me, right? Aren’t you trying to harm me?"

Aunt Yi looked at Yi Zhonghai with a mocking expression and sneered, "Didn't you say that the Lin family kid deliberately spread rumors to slander you? You are right, so what are you afraid of? He spread rumors about you, so it's only natural for you to sue him. Who can say anything to you? Unless you feel guilty and know that you can't win the lawsuit against him!"

Yi Zhonghai felt like he was going crazy today. He felt like his wife was crazy today and opposed him in every way. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped his wife hard, saying angrily: "Shut up! Don't talk back to me again! If you dare to talk back again, I will slap you!"

Aunt Yi staggered after being slapped by Yi Zhonghai. One side of her face immediately became red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was broken, with a trace of blood oozing out.

Aunt Yi looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, saw the blood on her hand, and suddenly laughed miserably: "Well, Yi Zhonghai, you finally revealed your true nature! You still want to lie to me!"

After slapping his wife, Yi Zhonghai was shocked by his own madness. He had known for so many years that he was infertile. In order to protect his reputation and avoid being called a eunuch, he made a false diagnosis and framed his wife for having gynecological disease and being infertile.

In order to create an image of himself as a man who values ​​love and friendship, he has been superficially nice to his wife over the years. He has never quarreled with her, let alone hit her. He pretends to be devoted to her and never leave her, disguising himself as an affectionate person, which has really earned him a lot of popularity.

But today he was really mad, and he actually slapped his wife in the face. He slapped her so hard that even he felt his palm was burning and slightly numb.

He was a little panicked, and quickly tried to make amends: "Well... Xiangyun, don't be angry, I didn't mean it! I was just so angry that I... I hit you, I didn't want to hit you! Don't be angry, I'll apologize to you!"
