Da Zhuzi tried to fight back, but how could he be a match for Zhao Dashu? Zhao Dashu hadn't been a nobody before; even after all these years without fighting, his skills were still sharp.

After a flurry of blows, Dazhuzi howled in pain, his mouth agape as he repeatedly cried out, "Third Uncle, spare me! I was wrong!"

Li couldn't help but cry out, "Third brother, stop! Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him now! Dazhu can't take it anymore!"

Zhao Dashu rolled his eyes speechlessly. Son? This kind of person is called a son? Does he deserve it? It would be better to have a pig, at least you'd have meat to eat at the end of the year.

Are you going to wait until he comes and beats you up before you kill him?

What an idiot!

Second sister-in-law must have been beaten senseless, right?

"When he hit you, he didn't seem to consider that you might not be able to take it, did he?"

Li was speechless.

"Father, Mother, I was wrong. Let's talk about our family matters behind closed doors. I'm your son, you can scold or beat me as you please. Father, we shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public!"

Zhao Dayong didn't even glance at him; things had come to this point, there was nothing to hide.

"Old man?" Li hesitated, feeling that her eldest son's words made some sense.

"Shut up!" Zhao Dayong was absolutely certain that his wife was no longer thinking straight. She was a senile old woman who didn't know what was good for her.

"Third brother, please call the village chief and the clan chief for me."

"father!"

Dazhuzi panicked. He couldn't call the clan chief and the others. He could roughly guess what his father was planning, and he would be doomed if they came.

He crawled desperately to Zhao Dayong's side, "Dad, I was wrong. I swear I will never hit him again. I was out of my mind just now. Please forgive me, Dad, please forgive me!"

I didn't want this either. Ever since everyone found out I couldn't have children, I've been talked about behind my back wherever I go. I feel like everyone is watching me, and my son is heartbroken!

Do you know how I got through the torment of day and night? I admit I have a bad temper right now, but I can't control myself.

Why is it that something a man can do, I can't? Why?

"Heaven is unfair! You wouldn't let me study when I was a child, and now that I'm grown up and finally got married, she ran away. I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, Dad!"

Zhao Dashu snorted. Bad people always have a lot of excuses. He didn't beat his parents on purpose; yes, that brat definitely did it intentionally.

He had long seen through the wickedness to the core.

Seeing her son crying so bitterly, Li felt heartbroken. Hearing him say these things, her tears fell even more. Her son was suffering so much; he was truly suffering.

"I've resigned myself to my fate. All I want is a child of my own, but my second brother isn't willing. He already has so many children, yet he won't give me one!"

Sanzhuzi, on the other hand, never treated me like an older brother. All the brothers looked down on me, Mom!

Sometimes I think about dying, but I can't bear to leave you and Dad. Besides me, do you have another child with you now? My little sister will get married sooner or later, and you only have me by your side, just me all alone!

Zhao Dashu understood that the bastard was threatening them; if they drove him away, they would lose all their sons, and he was the only one who could stay with them.

Haha, so who's accompanying whom?

Why would he be willing to live with them? Isn't it just because someone would do his laundry, cook for him, and help him with farm work?

At home, he didn't spend time with them at all; he treated them like slaves, like donkeys.

Second sister-in-law is so clueless. Look how tempted she is. Doesn't she know what kind of child she gave birth to?

Sigh, some people just never learn from their mistakes and never seem to learn a lesson.

See? She wavered. Well, it wasn't her who got hit just now; it was the idiot.

Hearing Dazhuzi's wailing and seeing his tearful and disheveled appearance, Li's heart softened again.

Yes, my son has his reasons. He has suffered so much injustice and is heartbroken!

She grabbed Zhao Dayong's sleeve, her voice choked with emotion, "Old man... Dazhu knows he was wrong, he's suffering inside... How about... how about we just let it go? Call the clan chief and village chief, if this gets out of hand, he'll never be able to face anyone in the village again..."

Looking at his wife's state, Zhao Dayong felt extremely disappointed and exhausted.

"Can't you see it clearly? He doesn't show the slightest bit of regret; it's all an act. Believe me, he'll change his tune the moment the third brother leaves."

"No...no...he wouldn't!"

She knew the old man was telling the truth, but no matter what, she had to protect her eldest son first. After the village chief arrived, her eldest son's reputation was completely ruined.
