Chapter 90 Mei
Aunt Ge was indeed stunned by her words, and it seemed at this moment she realized her daughter hadn’t come. Like Tu Hengsha, she thought of the day her daughter had been humiliated.
Seeing her daughter-in-law lying motionless on the ground, she seemed to transform into Ge Yun, beaten by the Zhao family with sticks, stripped and whipped...
Tears streamed down her face, and she choked out a sentence with a hoarse voice, "Old man, stop hitting her! Let her go! Let her go far away! Never come back to this village again!"
Uncle Ge was hitting hard and couldn’t stop; Aunt Ge stepped forward to grab him, crying, "Stop hitting her... just consider it... just consider it accumulating virtue for Ah Yun..."
Uncle Ge’s arm froze in the air, stunned for a moment, then he spat harshly at his wife, "You still have the nerve to mention that shameless girl!" After speaking, he kicked Mei, the daughter-in-law, again, "Go! Go as far as you can!"
Mei lay on the ground without moving; it was Tu Hengsha who dragged her out, half pushing and half pulling.
In rural village funerals, there weren’t many formalities. They were set up in the family’s main room and open yard. After Tu Hengsha dragged her out, Mei managed to walk on her own. Having just been beaten like that, every step was difficult.
Tu Hengsha followed her, feeling uneasy, and saw her walking to the back of the house.
At the back of the house, there were a few plum trees. She stopped under one of them, leaning slowly against the tree.
