"After that, I dared not give my child a bath outside alone anymore. When I bathe him, I either call my mother-in-law in or let my eldest daughter play nearby. Otherwise, I close the door and bathe the child." Xiaoqin continued.

He probably also realized I was wary of him, and kept a low profile for a while.

"Later on, when you guys were building a new house, I was working on the construction site during the day and just went back home at night,"

"Because I could make money then, he was quite polite to me during that time and didn't dare to act recklessly."

But lately, he's started being dishonest again.

>Several times I went to the toilet, he suddenly broke in. I was terrified, and he apologized, saying he didn't know anyone was inside.

"I inexplicably lost two pairs of shorts that I was air-drying outside. One time, when I went to clean his room, I found them under his bed."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“When found, it still had some dried filth on it...”

Xiaqin frowned, covering her mouth, she couldn't even bear to say it herself.

Yang Ruqing also nearly dropped her jaw. She felt that this Wangfu was going further and further down the path of perversion.

"Why aren't your father-in-law and mother-in-law sleeping in the same room? Didn't your mother-in-law know that he hid your clothes?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Xiaolin shook her head.

“My father-in-law and mother-in-law haven't slept in the same room for a long time. When my big brother-in-law was still alive, my father-in-law once took a rolling pin from home and put it… there, you know? After that, my mother-in-law never slept with him again.” Xiaoqin blushed and said.

Is that a walking stick?

Yang Ruqing has an impression.

That time, Wangfu's actions astonished everyone in the whole village.

Yang Ruoqing and Xiao Yaxue, however, knew very well that Wanguo was probably taken by a group of hooligans who beat him up and turned him into a pervert.

Okay, that incident was done by Yang Ruohua and Xiao Yaxue. Their purpose was to punish Wang Fu for what he did to Yang Rulan a long time ago.

“Xiaoqin, please continue,” Yang Ruohua said.

About Wangfu's dark history, I feel like we should really dig into it today.

Xiaolin nodded and then continued, "After discovering the clothes that time, I became even more wary of him."

For days now, he's been staying out all day and night. I let out a sigh of relief – when he’s not home, I don’t have to lie awake worrying anymore.

Then, after a few days, he came back and said that he had been gambling outside and lost all his money. He even owed two taels of silver to others.

"People let him go home to get money to pay off his gambling debts. If he can't, they will beat him up."

“I’m so angry, Qinger you know? He went gambling and he stole the money I was hiding in the house.”

>

"That money was earned by me slaving away cooking for your construction site these past few months. It was originally planned to be used for the New Year."

"He was completely defeated and even owed him two ounces of silver."

“At that time, I had made up my mind not to bother with this matter. Let him be beaten to death by others, it would save me the trouble.”

But my mother-in-law said that there must be a man in the house, even if he's just a lazy good-for-nothing, at least he can keep up appearances.

"At least in this village, I won't be bullied."

>

"My mother-in-law scolded my father-in-law, and my father-in-law knelt before my wife and me. He also slapped himself and ran to the kitchen to get a cleaver, saying he would chop off his hand and that he would never gamble again..."

>

“My mother-in-law helped him plead with me, even the old lady knelt down for me. I was really being forced to do this; I wanted to give him one last chance, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride and go ask you for an advance on his wages…”

“Qinger, I’m so sorry. You trusted me so much and gave me the money without hesitation, but I lied to you. I’m so ashamed…”

Xiaolin said, burying her head deeply toward Yang Ruqing, covering her face with her hands, overwhelmed with shame.

Yang Ruqing sighed softly, "When you borrowed money from me before, I guessed something must have happened at home that required urgent funds. But I never expected it to be because of your father-in-law's gambling."

"If you had told me back then, I would have stopped you from cleaning up his mess. People like him should be beaten to death."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Someone beat him to death, it was for your own good. Had he not been killed, he would have gone back home and caused you trouble again. Why do you keep defending him? I simply can't understand!" Yang Ruqing said.

Little Qin shook her head painfully, "My mother-in-law... I can't refuse my mother-in-law. She's been helping me raise the children these past few years, and she's been so good to me. We haven't had a disagreement as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all. I treat her like my own mother."

Yang Ruqing sighed again, "Then what's the matter this time?"

Xia Qin said, “A few days ago my father-in-law went gambling again. My mother-in-law knew about it and she was very heartbroken, so she scolded him a few times.”

"My father-in-law had a few drinks, and once the alcohol kicked in, he made a move on my mother-in-law."

"My mother-in-law was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. It wasn't until the last two days that she finally got better."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"My mother-in-law's family had some matters to attend to today, so she took her granddaughter with her. It's important for elderly people to visit their natal homes because there are still two uncles there. During busy farming seasons, my father-in-law tends to slack off, and it's the two uncles who come over to help with plowing."

"The grandmother left with her youngest granddaughter, and the grandfather immediately gave the eldest granddaughter a candy to send her to the construction site kitchen to lie to Yu Zhi that I was sick and wouldn't cook."

“I was hanging laundry in the backyard at the time and didn't know anything about it.”

"When I returned to the house, intending to change into my work shoes, he came in."

“He came in and hugged me, trying to do that thing with me. I struggled with all my might! Look at this mess – the overturned stools, the shattered teacups – they’re all from when we fought. It was utter chaos!” Xiaqin said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"A mess is a mess, as long as he doesn't get his way." Yang Ruqing scanned the debris on the ground and said.

Xiao Qin said: "I'm so grateful you came. If you hadn't, I might have been in trouble. He was determined to hurt me today, I could tell. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent my mother-in-law and the two children away!"

Yang Ruqing fell silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "I came at the right time. Well, Xiaoqin, now that you've had a falling out with your father-in-law, what are your plans?"

What should we do?

When asked about this, Xiao Qin looked puzzled.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“I don't know what to do!” she said.

“I want to tell my mother-in-law that if it were anyone else, she would definitely be on my side. But this is my husband, and I'm worried that she'll say something like 'the family can't function without a man,' and make me endure it. I don't dare tell her.” Xiaolin said.

Yang Ruqing said: "You're right, your mother-in-law might even make harsh demands on you to keep your father-in-law."

>

"Women are all jealous, and by then she might even think that you are flirting with her father-in-law, which would make her resent you and join forces with her father-in-law to bully you. If that happens, your life will be even more difficult afterwards!"
