Another day of waiting.
Li Xiaoqin only cared whether Zhao Changgui could be so kind as to release Chen Qiushu.
Wang Huilian was worried that her family would have to pay compensation and her daughter would be beaten.
The two women were each worried about their own things and ignored each other.
This time when he went to Zhao Changgui's house, Old Man Shen asked Shen Chunshu to bring a few kilograms of food to his house.
After all, Zhao Changgui said that he was ill and bedridden now, and as visitors to the patient, they couldn't come empty-handed.
This is truly a generous gift for the Shen family, who are already short of food.
When Old Man Shen and his friends arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Shengli was sweeping the yard.
He heard some noise at the door and looked up, only to see that it was their stepmother with her three masters.
Especially Shen Chunshu, Zhao Shengli had met him once and knew that he was their stepmother's father.
He thought the Shen family was coming to cause trouble, so he immediately dropped the broom and ran into the house.
While running, he shouted: "Brother, brother, someone from the Shen family is coming, come out quickly."
Hearing the boy's unfriendly shouting, Old Man Shen knew that he had misunderstood.
Before entering the courtyard, he hurriedly greeted: "We are here to visit Changgui, not to quarrel."
Zhao Shengli and Zhao Manfen, each holding a stick in their hands, followed Zhao Ping'an out.
As soon as Old Man Shen saw Zhao Ping'an, he quickly took two steps forward and tried to hold his hand, explaining: "Ping'an, we are here to visit your father!"
Old Man Shen emphasized the word "visit" very seriously, fearing that Zhao Ping An Eve would misunderstand.
Zhao Shengli was the most hostile towards the Shen family. He held the stick across the three siblings and questioned the Shen family with his eyes wide open.
"You're lying. You beat my dad like that, what are you doing here now? If you dare to come any closer, I won't be polite."
Old man Shen quickly took a step back to prevent the stick from hitting him.
Then he continued to explain awkwardly: "Is this the second kid of the Zhao family? I haven't seen you yet, and you look smart."
"We are here today to visit your father. There was a misunderstanding on the third day of the junior high school, which is why that happened."
"My sons are also Hu Chaochao's. So, I brought them here to apologize to your father, didn't I?"
After saying these words, Old Man Shen looked at Zhao Ping'an again: "Ping'an, look, this is not the place to talk. It's not good for outsiders to see us. How about we go in and talk?"
Zhao Pingan glanced at Shen Hongmei behind the Shen family man, raised his hand and pressed down Zhao Shengli’s stick: “Let them come in and talk!”
Although Zhao Shengli was somewhat dissatisfied, since his elder brother had spoken, he could only put down the stick, rolled his eyes at the Shen family, and stopped stopping them from entering the yard.
Seeing this, Old Man Shen hurriedly pulled Shen Hongmei into the Zhao family's house.
This was the first time that Old Man Shen came to Zhao Changgui's house.
Although there was no woman at home these days, the house was kept quite tidy.
Zhao Changgui was lying on the kang with a quilt covering him.
He looked up and saw the Shen family entering the room, then slowly sat up sideways.
Old man Shen quickly stepped forward to support him: "Just lie down, just lie down, no need to get up. I came to see you because I was worried about you, but don't be so polite, we are all family."
Zhao Changgui chuckled: "Don't be so conceited. I sat up because I thought it would be easier to curse at people."
After saying that, he waved to his eldest son to help him sit up, and then looked at the people from the Shen family with disdain.
Zhao Changgui's ruthlessness made Old Man Shen feel a little embarrassed.
But he quickly concealed his emotions and sat down next to him as if he didn't hear Zhao Changgui's sarcasm.
Then he waved to Chen Hongmei: "Come here quickly? Didn't you say you were always worried about your family when you were at home? Why do you become a dumb wooden stake when you come back?"
Old Man Shen tried hard to portray Shen Hongmei as a tongue-tied person who couldn't express herself, in an attempt to use Shen Hongmei to get closer to Zhao Changgui.
Sure enough, when he heard Shen Hongmei's name, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhao Changgui's face.
This smile reminded Shen Hongmei of the experience that made her live a life worse than death. Although she had made a decision in her heart, the terrible experience in the past still made her shudder.
Seeing that his granddaughter was like a mute and didn't know how to give him a way out, Old Man Shen could only make small talk.
"Changgui, I made you feel wronged on that day in the third grade. Qiushu had a bad temper and it was all his fault. I really scolded him severely afterwards."
"This year is really difficult for my family. We can barely make ends meet. I came here today, but I don't have anything to give you. I brought you some food. This is my little token of my appreciation as an elder. Changgui, please don't despise me."
"I know you're angry, but after all, we're still relatives, right? I'll have Qiu Shu come to you in person to plead guilty some other day. You can beat him up however you want, but... can you let him out first?"
"After all, this is just a small matter in our family. Why should we report it to the police? Don't you think so?"
Old man Shen finished speaking bitterly, but before Zhao Changgui could say anything, Zhao Shengli, who was standing at the door, quit.
"You guys are saying we're in-laws now? Why didn't you think of us as in-laws when your whole family was beating up my dad?"
"You are anxious now because you saw the person being arrested? You came here to apologize now? It's too late, I tell you."
Being scolded in person by a little kid made Shen Chunshu and Shen Xiashu feel a little embarrassed.
But Old Man Shen pretended not to hear it and just looked at Zhao Changgui with a look of great sorrow.
He doesn't care what other people say. The most important thing now is to take down Zhao Changgui. Everything else is nonsense.
Zhao Changgui did not directly respond to Old Man Shen's words, but waved to Shen Hongmei: "Come here."
In view of Zhao Changgui's usual pressure, although Shen Hongmei protested extremely in her heart, her body still involuntarily walked close to Zhao Changgui and looked at him timidly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Changgui raised his hand and slapped Shen Hongmei without any warning.
"Your husband is injured and lying on the bed unable to move, and you are still happily staying at your mother's house and not coming back?"
"What do you want to do? You want to make a scene, right? Huh? Is that right?"
Then Zhao Changgui's slaps fell on Shen Hongmei's face one after another.
This sudden scene was a naked humiliation in the eyes of Old Man Shen and others.
Zhao Changgui actually started to teach Shen Hongmei a lesson in front of the Shen family. The slap was not on Shen Hongmei, but on the face of Old Man Shen and Shen Chunshu.
Shen Chunshu lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed red, but he did not move.
Chen Xiashu listened to Old Man Shen in everything. His father said that the purpose of this visit was to make Zhao Changgui calm down, so he couldn't be impulsive at this time.
Old man Shen, who was sitting sideways on the edge of the kang, trembled slightly.
