Wan Lin smiled when he saw Wan Si's expression, a very happy one. Seeing Wan Si unhappy made him feel much better.

"That was all because your mother forced me to this point. She drove me crazy. My demands of you are very simple: you must bring your mother back. I don't care what method you use, you must bring your mother back, or I will ruin you."

Forget about your internship, and forget about graduating.

Give me another hundred yuan.

Wan Si: "!!!"

Wan Si kept backing away, "Dad, where would I get that much money? I was even going to ask you for living expenses. We don't get paid for our internships."

Wan Si came back for another reason: he was broke.

You can't live without money. Not to mention anything else, there's food, drinks, cosmetics, and clothes—all of these cost money.

“We’ve raised you to adulthood, it’s time for you to earn your own money. Look at other people your age, they’ve been working for years and they don’t have a single penny to their name.”

Here in Wanlin, it's already a good thing if they're raised to adulthood; don't even think about anything else.

Wan Si felt even more upset.

"Hurry up and get there. What are you standing there for? Do you want to get beaten up?"

Wan Si doesn't want to go in now; it would be embarrassing if Third Grandfather saw her.

She wanted to be alone to calm down, so she went to the bamboo grove next door.

Unexpectedly, this calm demeanor led to trouble.

She suddenly heard a noisy commotion inside and quickly went back to check.

Upon closer inspection, she found her beloved computer and external keyboard lying on the ground, with her two children stomping on them.

"Stop! What are you doing!" Wan Si shouted in despair.

The child's mother, who was Wan Si's junior high school classmate, was standing next to her.

"Wan Si, why are you arguing with a child? He's still young and doesn't understand. He doesn't know whether he can touch this or not. Why did you leave this thing at home?"

Wan Si pointed to her own head, trembling with anger, "Are you implying it's my fault?"

Wan Si rushed over immediately and retrieved his computer. The laptop was fine, but the charger was broken. The keyboard was also badly damaged.

Wan Si was very angry, so angry that he wanted to kick them out.

Wan Lin then spoke up, "Your classmate is right, the kids are still young, it's no big deal. If they want to play, let them play. It's just that we're at home, there aren't so many rules."

As he spoke, Wan Lin glared fiercely at Wan Si, hoping to get her to agree to the decision.

If it were anything else, Wan Si wouldn't care today, but this computer is something she saved up for a long time to buy. This computer means something different to her.

Moreover, she lied to her mother about being in a car accident and asked for several thousand yuan for this computer.

She didn't like this attitude of downplaying major issues and dismissing minor ones, so she looked at the child.

"Little friend, you broke my things. What should you do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Lin's face darkened and he started cursing, "Can't you understand what I'm saying? I've already told you the child is still young and doesn't understand, so why don't you just be more accommodating? Who told you to leave it lying around like that?"

"We're all relatives, why don't you share it with everyone? What? Have you forgotten you're from this village too? You left, and after a few days of schooling, you think you're so high and mighty?"

The child's mother nodded in agreement, "That's right, Wan Si, a person must not forget his roots."

The others also spoke up, looking at Wan Lin with great regret.

"Wanlin, you really need to keep a close eye on your daughter, otherwise you'll have even less control over her in the future."

When Wan Lin heard someone say that, he got angry and looked at Wan Si, "Sweep the floor and kneel down!"

With tears in her eyes, Wan Si felt deeply humiliated. Unable to bear it, she grabbed her belongings, returned to her room, and closed the door.

Everyone looked at her and talked for a while before leaving. Wan Lin was even angrier now, feeling that Wan Si had embarrassed him. He went to find a feather duster, kicked open the door, and beat her up.

"Dad, it's illegal to hit someone!"

"That's illegal! I'm your father, it's only natural for me to beat you. If you dare to run away like your mother, I'll find you and beat you to death no matter where you are!"

Wan Si was in great pain and kept screaming. Finally, Wan Lin went out on his own after the thunder. Wan Si stayed in the room and took out his phone to make a call.

Mo Yan accepted the offer this time.

"Mom, please come back quickly, Dad hit me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan exclaimed, "Oh dear, I didn't expect that Wan Si would also be beaten up."

"Didn't you say that's just how Dad's temper is? Just don't provoke him, okay?"

Mo Yan returned those words to her verbatim.

These words made Wan Si even more upset. Little did she know that her father was like a madman.

"Then come back. I'm scared if you don't come back. I'm not scared when you're home."

"Come back? If I come back, I'll get beaten up along with you. You'd better figure out how to go out and study yourself."

This ingrate is still selfish. Even though she's already been beaten and knows what Wan Lin really is, she still wants her to go back. This is just to make Wan Lin change her target.

"What will I do if you don't come back?"

Wan Si is in excruciating pain right now, feeling like he's been beaten so badly that there's not a single unscathed spot on his body.

"Call the police, or you can try to get along with your dad. That's all, I'm very busy."

Upon hearing that Mo Yan was about to hang up, Wan Si blurted out.

"Mom! How could you be so selfish? Are you just going to watch your daughter get beaten to death? Why can't you come back to save me? If you come back, will Dad stop hitting me?"

It's utterly ridiculous to hear that. How could she have the nerve to say something like that?

Some people just think that whatever their parents sacrifice for them is a given. It's like the original owner of this body had to go back for her sake.

"Selfish? Aren't you the most selfish one, Wan Si? Now that you know what kind of person your father is, you still want me to go back and get beaten. Do you want him to beat me to death?"

"Oh, I see. You think if I go back, your dad will only beat me and not you, right? I really raised an ungrateful child."

Wan Si instinctively wanted to refute, "No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you've lived with Dad for so many years, you must know how to coax him, right?"

She's staying at home now, every minute filled with fear and dread, not knowing when or what reason her father will use to beat her again.

"I don't know, he's a madman, figure it out yourself."

After saying that, Mo Yan hung up the phone, confirming that she didn't need this ungrateful wretch.

Mo Yan also went next door to inquire about the situation.

The young woman told her that they were investigating Captain Wan, and that Wan Lin's case had been transferred to the court and would be heard soon, and that he would be summoned.

Mo Yan thanked them and then went back.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Wan Si called his older brother, Wan Han, again.
