Chapter 450 My Mother is a Fool (3)
"Where did you go crazy today? Why are you back so late?"
As soon as Liu Zhanyan and the woman stepped into the house, a short blind man jumped out. The man was holding a stick and was about to hit the woman. This was his father.
Liu Zhanyan immediately blocked the woman and shouted, "Dad, if you want to hit me, hit me too."
"No, no, I'm hurt." The woman pulled him away again, exposing herself to the stick. In fact, the short man was only as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. He only raised the stick to the woman's shoulders. If the woman had more strength, she might be able to subdue him.
"Why is your nose injured?" The short blind man looked at his stupid wife in surprise and doubt, and walked behind her. He focused his eyes for a long time before he found the wound on his son's face. At the same time, he found that his son was covered with yellow mud all over his body today. He looked very dirty.
"The second child in the village made up a song about our family, and I was so angry that I fought with them. Idiot... My mother was injured to help me." Liu Zhanyan's righteous look not only did not make the man feel relieved, but annoyed him.
"Who are you? You fought with them. If their parents come to our house, our whole family will be in trouble." The man's stick was already aimed at the woman, and he was cursing while beating her, "You money-loser, you only gave me such a son in several years, and you are raised for free, and you also encouraged my son to fight. You idiot, just say it if you want to harm my son."
He heard the gossip of the villagers when he was working outside today, saying that his wife was hanging out outside all day to seduce men. He was furious but didn't dare to do anything to them, so he kept holding back his anger and waited to go home after work. Who knew that when he got home, he didn't see his silly woman at home, and he became even angrier.
"Dad, it has nothing to do with her." Liu Zhanyan was pushed away by his father every time he approached him. He looked at the woman who was curled up in the corner and didn't dare to fight back, and he was so anxious that tears were about to fall. Everyone knew that she was a fool. What was there to worry about if a fool didn't understand? Besides, she came back late because of him, so she shouldn't be beaten.
"It has nothing to do with her, it has nothing to do with anyone. You used to be such a good kid, but now you have learned to talk back to me for her." The man was probably tired of holding the stick, so he threw the stick into the corner and rolled up his sleeves to pinch the woman with his hands. This was the best trick he had come up with in order to prevent the woman from resisting. Although he was short, he was very strong all over his body. His hands, which had been doing farm work for many years, were so strong that they could tie up a cow. He stuck one hand on the woman's neck, and the other hand kept hitting the fleshy part of her body.
"Dad, don't hit her, she's in pain..." Liu Zhanyan was so anxious that tears kept falling. How come he didn't realize that his father beat people so hard before?
"It doesn't hurt... baby... I don't feel any pain..." The woman tried to straighten her body to show that she "didn't feel any pain", but her neck, which had not been tanned by the scorching sun, the bright red marks on her face, and the tears that kept accumulating in her eyes told anyone with eyes that she couldn't help but feel pain.
"Go away. Children, don't meddle in adults' affairs." Liu Zhanyan, who rushed up again, was pushed onto the table by his father. The huge impact force caused the kettle on the table to fall to the ground, and the hot water and debris splashed all over the floor. He stood there in a daze before he could understand what happened. The woman thought he was injured and became anxious.
"Baby... are you okay?" She pushed the hand stuck on her neck with all her strength and ran towards the boy.
"I'm fine." Before Liu Zhanyan had time to look up at her, he heard her groan and fall to the ground.
"What's wrong?" He heard himself ask softly, but he already had the answer in his heart.
"I told you to resist, I told you to resist... You are the thing I bought with my own money, and you think you will be proud just because you gave birth to a baby... You still dare to push me away, today I will let you see how powerful I am, and see if you dare to go out and seduce men every day... Don't you think that without me, Liu Zhanben, you can still have a hot meal... You heartless thing... I should have tied you up with an iron chain!"
Liu Zhanyan reacted and looked up, and saw his father riding on the woman, slapping her face with his hands constantly, cursing her, and shouted, "Dad, don't hit her." He remembered what the villagers said, "Your mother wasn't stupid before, she was beaten stupid by your father", "Your mother was so young and beautiful when she came, her skin was as white as the soap used by people in the city, and I heard that she was a female college student. Everyone was staring at her, and your father spent a lot of money to buy her", "Your mother is so pitiful, she always wanted to run away when she first came, and she was tied up with an iron chain by your father." He felt so heartbroken that he couldn't imagine how a young female student like her could survive those days.
"Don't worry about it. This bitch, she hangs around the village all day long. Even if she is stupid, she should understand the way those men look at her. From now on, just treat her as if she is not your mother. I will tie her up in the stable next door. If I remember, I will bring her a hot meal. If I don't remember, she will starve to death." The man not only did not stop, but became more aggressive and bit her with his mouth, "I will definitely teach you a lesson today."
The woman had originally hugged her head, but after hearing him say this, she completely gave up struggling and begged, "Don't tie me up, don't tie me up, I promised the kid to pick him up and drop him off at school every day. The kids, beat...beat him...I won't go...they bully him...he's just a kid, it hurts, it hurts..."
"It hurts, you idiot, you are embarrassing my son!" The man riding on her slapped her face again. There was no healthy skin on her face. It was all blue and purple, and some places were bleeding. It looked scary.
"Dad, stop hitting me." Liu Zhanyan felt distressed and tried to pull his father away. However, he was too weak to pull him down, and was slapped hard by the man instead.
"You bastard, you dared to hit me. No matter what, I am still your father. I gave birth to you and raised you. If it weren't for me, you would be starving like a fool." The furious man didn't control his strength. The fan-like slap directly slapped Liu Zhanyan's face away.
Liu Zhanyan felt a burning pain on his face, and his eyes turned black and white. His ears were buzzing, but he remembered the terrified and nervous expression of the woman half-kneeling on the ground. (
