When Ye Sang heard this, her heart sank and she hurriedly looked at her husband Xu Ziqiang.

Xu Ziqiang stood aside with a gloomy expression. Seeing Ye Sang looking over, he spoke directly, "You did it. Take responsibility for it yourself and don't implicate us."

Ye Sang was stunned. "What did I do? What do you want me to admit?"

The police officer who was taking notes reminded them, "Xu Ziqiang said that Zheng Ting is your daughter. You are the one who disciplines her. You are the one who beats and scolds her, and you are the one who doesn't feed her. It has nothing to do with them."

Ye Sang opened her eyes wide, looked at her husband, then at her mother-in-law, and then at her stepdaughter and stepson.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her, and some even glared at her with disgust.

"I—" She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

The police didn't ask Ye Sang to say anything right away. After writing a few words on the paper, they said, "You can go to the police station and check Zheng Ting's statement after she wakes up. It's not up to you to decide who abused her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Xu family became extremely ugly.

Xu Ziqiang walked over to Ye Sang and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you bring that girl back?"

Ye Sang shook his head, "I can't bring it back. They won't let me."

Xu Ziqiang glared at Ye Sang angrily, "You useless piece of shit. You can't even do this. What's the point of having you here?"

Ye Sang shrank his neck and didn't dare to retort.

Xu Ziqiang had a bad temper and would hit people when he was angry. In order to protect herself from being beaten, she let him beat Tingting. Every time after being beaten, the pain would only last for a few days and then go away. But this time, she even had a fever and looked like a ghost.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have asked those two old guys for a thousand dollars.

No matter how reluctant the Xu family was, they were eventually taken to the Public Security Bureau and had their statements taken one by one.

Of course, the Xu family did not admit that they had abused Zheng Ting. The whole family united and put all the blame on Ye Sang.

Ye Sang also did not admit that she abused Zheng Ting, and only said that it was normal discipline as a mother.

Next is Zheng Ting’s accusation, which is the most crucial.

Under the guidance of her grandparents and Song Yun, Zheng Ting told them all about her experiences over the years.

From the first day she and her mother came to Xia City, she was ostracized by the Xu family and never had a full meal. From top to bottom, from old to young, everyone in the Xu family could bully and beat her. She would eat a bite if there were leftovers, and go hungry if there were no leftovers. Sometimes she would go hungry the whole day and still have to do housework. If she did well, she would be beaten and scolded, and if she did not, she would be beaten and scolded even more. Even if she did not make any mistakes, she would be beaten just because her stepfather was in a bad mood.

She was not allowed to cry when she was beaten, and was forced to bite her teeth and endure the beating. She was not given any medical treatment when she was injured, and was forced to endure it.

Several times she thought she was going to die, she even hoped that she would die like that, which was better than living in this torture.

But she survived.

This time she was injured so badly because her stepfather lost money playing cards outside and was scolded by her mother when he got home. Her stepfather wanted to beat her, but her mother couldn't bear it after being beaten twice, so she pulled her out to take the beating for her. This was already a common occurrence for Zheng Ting.
