Chapter 67 The Radiance of the Virgin Mary Has Dimmed (3)
Gangzi blocked out the sounds inside the courtyard, so the people outside had no idea what had happened at the Zhao family's house.
Even in the evening, Grandpa Zhao was the first person to go home after get off work.
He stepped into the courtyard and was stunned.
The old woman and her second daughter-in-law were both lying in the yard, convulsing uncontrollably.
After an afternoon, although they looked a little disheveled, all the water on their bodies had evaporated. They stared in fear, their lips trembling but unable to speak.
"What happened?" Grandpa Zhao didn't know who to help, and shouted repeatedly, "Eldest daughter-in-law, come quick!"
After instructing the two children not to leave the room, Su Dingding slowly opened the door and came out.
"Liu Dafeng, since you're home, didn't you see your mother and second son's wife lying in the yard? What exactly happened?" Grandpa Zhao was furious and started spitting at Su Dingding.
Su Dingding dodged back in disgust, "You're not a child anymore. If you fall, just get up. Why are you being so dramatic!"
Grandpa Zhao glared angrily at Su Dingding and reached out to help Grandma Zhao first.
He was startled to find her skin was cold and withdrew his hand to examine her more closely.
He's not dead yet? How can he be so cold?
Grandpa Zhao swallowed hard, feeling a little scared. Looking at the similar symptoms of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he wondered if it was an infectious disease.
Su Dingding crossed her arms and watched as the old man cautiously touched Zheng Xiaoying's hand again. It was burning hot!
Oh no, the old man is really scared now.
He stood up without making a sound, looked at Su Dingding and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Quickly help your mother and second son's wife up and take them to the hospital!"
“I’m just a woman, how could I have that much strength? Why don’t you, a grown man, deliver it?” Su Dingding asked deliberately.
"I..." Grandpa Zhao jumped up, "What's it to you? Just do what I say!"
"I don't have the time, energy, or mood. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Su Dingding said, turning to go back.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, does my word have any effect now?!" After all, Uncle Zhao was the family's biggest earner, so he usually had a bad temper.
Su Dingding bit her lip, then suddenly turned ninety degrees and began to crawl rapidly toward Grandpa Zhao in the shadows.
"Ah!" Grandpa Zhao was so frightened that he fell to the ground with his backside, his mouth agape and his eyes wide open, and he fainted on the spot.
"It's nothing." Su Dingding rolled her eyes and went back to her room to continue packing.
The original owner's wardrobe was full of tattered clothes, and she couldn't find a single decent one. Not to mention the two children, they looked like two black lumps of coal and dressed like refugees. They had absolutely no status in the family.
It's one thing for the Holy Mother to wrong herself, but why should she also wrong her children!
Su Dingding pouted and emptied all the money in the house, preparing to go out and buy clothes and some good food for the child to nourish him properly.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaohu heard someone exclaim in the courtyard again. Startled, he said nervously, "Mom, Dad's back!"
"No matter what noise you hear inside, you are not allowed to go out." After giving these instructions, Su Dingding went out alone.
It was already dark. Zhao Yong was tripped by someone who had fallen in the yard. He already had bad legs and had drunk a lot of alcohol, so when he fell, he couldn't get up.
Su Dingding almost burst out laughing. She hadn't even made a move yet, and she had already knocked herself out. How sensible!
Zhao Wei happened to walk into the courtyard at that moment and was stunned by the scene.
"Liu Dafeng, what's wrong?" Zhao Wei stood there, bewildered and frightened.
"I came out after hearing the commotion, and this is what happened! Get her to the hospital quickly!" Su Dingding said, running to the door and shouting, "Help! Someone, come help!"
She had to stay and take care of her two children, so she didn't go to the hospital with them.
The whole night passed peacefully.
The next morning, the Zhao family and Zheng Xiaoying had all returned to normal and stormed back in a rage.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Aunt Zhao started yelling, "Eldest daughter-in-law, get out here! I'm going to beat you to death today!"
"Zhao Yong, you can't let Liu Dafeng get away with this. She's gone too far and almost scalded me to death."
"How could it scald me to death? The water was ice cold, it was freezing me to death..."
"Grandma, that water is hot, it's scalding!"
Su Dingding stood inside the house, secretly laughing. Before she even showed herself, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already started arguing.
"Stop arguing, all of you! The eldest daughter-in-law's body spins around and crawls towards me like a giant spider. It's terrifying!" Just thinking about it gave Grandpa Zhao goosebumps.
Outside the courtyard, a crowd gradually gathered, discussing the matter.
They had all seen how this family treated Liu Dafeng in their daily lives, and now they were falsely accusing Liu Dafeng of splashing water on them and making strange, spider-like movements. It was simply a joke!
Seeing the mocking laughter of the people outside, Zhao Wei angrily went over and shouted, "What are you all looking at!"
They then closed the gate and bolted it shut.
"Liu Dafeng!" Zhao Yong limped to open the door, only to be knocked over by Su Dingding who pushed the door open.
Zhao Yong felt a pain in his nose, touched it, and found that it was bleeding.
"Oh dear, Liu Dafeng, she's rebelled!" Aunt Zhao said as she went to get a rolling pin.
Grandpa Zhao and Zhao Wei weren't idle either; they both rolled up their sleeves and were ready to get to work.
Zheng Xiaoying took a step back. In this situation, she was just there to watch the show. She figured that if Liu Dafeng wasn't beaten to death, he'd be skinned alive.
To her surprise, both Grandpa Zhao and Zhao Wei received several slaps.
Su Dingding snatched the rolling pin from Aunt Zhao's hand and gave the Zhao family a good beating.
They screamed in agony, but unfortunately, the people outside couldn't hear them at all.
Zheng Xiaoying turned pale with fright and turned to run away, but Su Dingding smiled wickedly and didn't stop her.
"Gangzi!"
[Don't worry, host!] Gangzi understood immediately and flapped its wings to follow.
Su Dingding sat in a chair, holding a rolling pin, looking at the four people kneeling neatly in front of her.
"Who will be in charge of this family from now on?"
"You decide."
The group of men, all covered in injuries, dared not refute any of the arguments.
"From now on, you'll have to do whatever I tell you to do. No objections?" Su Dingding asked in a deep voice.
The group exchanged glances and could only nod.
Su Dingding smiled happily, "That's right! Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything. Our Liu family will become more and more prosperous in the future!"
Grandpa Zhao was taken aback, looked up and asked, "How did this end up at Old Liu's house?"
Su Dingding kicked him, "What, you're still not convinced! From now on, Xiaohu and Niuniu will also take my surname, Liu!"
No one dared to refute it again.
"Guess what the second son's wife went to do?" Su Dingding suddenly asked with a grin.
Zhao Wei lowered his head, thinking to himself, "What else could she be doing? She must have gone to call for help. Liu Dafeng, does she really think no one can deal with you?"
Su Dingding tapped Zhao Wei's shoulder twice with a rolling pin, "Why don't you hurry up and practice? Your wife's little lover will be here soon!"
