Chapter 56 – Let her smash it! Dad can afford to pay for it.

Jiang Anchao: "...There's no need to describe it so deliciously."

Although he knew his daughter was standing up for him, something about what she said sounded so off.

"Okay, Dad, I'll be more careful next time."

Zhizhi nodded to indicate that she understood, then looked at Wang Qingshan, "Uncle, we're going back to sleep now. If you want to continue gathering information, why don't you find a megaphone and ask around the world? Goodbye!"

"you!"

Wang Qingshan realized that the little girl was mocking him. "Jiang Anchao, is this how you teach your daughter? She has no manners at all."

Jiang An bent down and scooped up his daughter, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Yes, that's how I taught her. My daughter is only polite to people."

If you're being rude to him, he should reflect on whether he's even human.

With that, he closed the door, completely unwilling to continue arguing with Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan was unconvinced and raised his hand to knock on the door to continue arguing.

Cuiping couldn't stand it anymore and went up to persuade him, "What does this have to do with Commander Jiang? Stop making a scene and let's go back."

"Get out of my way!"

Wang Qingshan impatiently pushed her away, his tone even more aggressive, "What use are you to me, huh? You've already gone to be a nanny for the former political commissar's family, why don't you know how to build a good relationship? What use are you to me? I might as well marry a pig instead of you. At least a pig can be slaughtered and eaten for meat during the New Year!"

In the pitch-black alley, her husband's insults were like the coldest, sharpest knife, trampling Cuiping's dignity underfoot.

Tears instantly streamed down her face as she couldn't understand why, no matter how much she gave, she could never earn her husband's respect.

“Wang Qingshan, you shouldn’t have bothered Zhizhi and her family with your own work issues. What does this have to do with them? You shouldn’t take it out on me either. I was just doing my job as a nanny for the former political commissar’s family for money. Why should I be humiliated by you like this every time?”

Cuiping's voice, choked with grievance, sounded exceptionally clear in the silent night.

Wang Qingshan was furious and glared at her fiercely. "You've only been paid for a few days, and now you dare to talk back to me? Come back with me and see how I deal with you!"

Inside the door

Jiang Anchao and his three friends did not actually enter the house, but they heard everything clearly.

Little Zhizhi clung tightly to her father's collar, her face full of heartache for Aunt Cuiping.

"Dad, aren't we going to take care of you?"

Jiang Anchao pursed his lips and gently shook his head at her.

This is someone else's family matter. If they interfere, it could cause Cuiping even greater harm.

After all, Cuiping's thinking was still rather conservative. Grandma Li had advised her to get a divorce before, but she had never dared to.

Deng Qiu sighed sadly.

“Military marriages are probably even harder to end. If Cuiping continues to endure this, it will eventually lead to irreversible consequences.”

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the next room.

Many neighbors peeked out.

"What's wrong? Didn't Wang Qingshan stop beating his wife?"

"Look, it looks like they're fighting again, and it's fierce!"

Hearing the noise outside, Sang Zhizhi couldn't bear it any longer. She jumped out of her father's arms and ran outside.

'Squeak—!'

The door opened, and the cub darted out.

"Zhizhi—!"

Jiang Anchao tried to call out to her, but he couldn't keep up with the cub's speed at all.

He had no choice but to rush out after them.

The little cub pushed open Grandma Li's courtyard gate and headed straight for Wang Qingshan's house.

The military dependents' compound consists of a series of courtyard houses, and Grandma Li's family shares a courtyard with Wang Qingshan.

Grandma Li was already standing at the door trying to persuade him, but Wang Qingshan had locked the door and wouldn't open it no matter who called him.

Cuiping, concerned about saving face, covered her mouth tightly even when being beaten, afraid of disturbing the neighbors.

But today, Wang Qingshan had been drinking and had suffered a setback outside. He was so angry that he didn't dare to take it out on Jiang An's family, so he simply beat his wife to vent his anger.

"What use are you to me? You're just a sow that can't produce piglets, and now you've got the nerve to talk back to me! You've got some nerve!"

"What's so great about Jiang Anchao? He just married a divorced woman. He spoils that girl like she's the apple of his eye, but isn't she someone else's child? He begged to wear the green hat, and he's even smug about it. He's a complete bastard!"

In his own house, Wang Qingshan didn't even bother to pretend, and the words he uttered were as vulgar as could be.

Zhizhi was furious. She pounded on the door, yelling, "Don't you dare hit your aunt! If you do it again, I'll call the police! You'll be in for a beating!"

The cubs were no match for the door.

This only fueled Wang Qingshan's arrogance. He grabbed a thermos and smashed it against Cuiping's back, pointing at her and cursing, "Did you hear that? That little bastard outside is here to avenge you. You're all planning to gang up on me, aren't you! I'll kill you!"

Zhizhi was so anxious that she paced around in circles. She turned around, picked up the brick that was blocking the sewer in the yard, and wanted to smash the door.

This terrified Grandma Li, who quickly stepped forward to stop the cub.

"Goodness gracious, you can't do that! You mustn't smash it!"

Every time Wang Qingshan got drunk, he would beat his wife. The neighbors would complain about it, and the next day Wang Qingshan would beat her even more severely.

If Zhizhi really smashed up someone else's house, the nature of the situation would completely change.

"—Let her smash it!"

Jiang Anchao's voice carried a firm and unyielding tone as he strode up to Zhizhi, clearly there to support the cub.

"Zhizhi, smash whatever you want! Dad can afford to pay for anything you break! We're going to get our revenge today!"

Wang Qingshan is a very petty and narrow-minded person who loves to say sarcastic things behind people's backs.

When he married Deng Qiu and held a banquet, Deng Qiu was constantly envious and went around saying that he didn't know where his money came from to be able to afford so much furniture.

At the time, I didn't want to make enemies, so I didn't bother to argue with him.

But now, he's even insulting Deng Qiu and her daughter.

If I keep tolerating this, I'll really become the green-haired turtle he's talking about!

Grandma Li was so shocked she couldn't speak.

With her father's support, Xiao Zhizhi immediately grabbed a brick and smashed it hard against the door lock.

'Bang!'

The door lock wasn't broken, it was only slightly deformed.

Jiang Anchao handed her another piece of food, saying, "Keep smashing!"

Zhizhi gripped the brick tightly and smashed it against the window without hesitation.

'Thud, crash—!'

The glass in the window shattered instantly, falling to the ground. The brick landed squarely in the living room, right on Wang Qingshan's back.

"Hold!"

Wang Qingshan was in so much pain that he jumped up and down, clutching his neck with both hands and looking ferocious.

He flung open the door and pointed at Sang Zhizhi, cursing, "You fucking lawless bastard, huh? You hit me, you know that? Believe me or not, I'll—hey hey hey ah!"

Jiang Anchao ruthlessly snapped the finger he had extended, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Jiang Anchao tightened his grip, forcefully twisting Wang Qingshan's finger until Wang Qingshan was about to kneel down. Only then did Jiang Anchao ask expressionlessly, "Who do you want to kill? Have you had enough of living? All you do is bully women?"
