Zhao Ping'an and his brothers and sisters in the outer room were all quiet as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Ping'an secretly raised his head to look at Shen Hongmei, only to see that both of her cheeks were swollen, which showed how hard her mother had beaten her just now.
He wanted to go forward and comfort her, but his body's instinctive fear of Zhao Changgui prevented him from taking that step.
But his attitude towards Chen Hongmei changed.
His original mentality of treating Shen Hongmei as a stranger gradually changed to sympathy for her.
Especially after returning from Dongliang Village last time, his father began to torture Shen Hongmei even more severely.
Zhao Ping'an felt that his father was a pervert who took torturing Shen Hongmei as a kind of pleasure.
Sometimes he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Just like now, he knew that his father deliberately humiliated the Shen family's mother and daughter.
Chen Hongmei looked at Wang Huilian with lifeless eyes as she cried like a tearful person.
I don’t know why she was crying so aggrievedly when she was the one who was beaten?
She couldn't remember how many times she had been beaten for no reason.
In the past, it was only Zhao Changgui who beat her. Is it possible that her mother will beat her too now?
Even though her face was burning with pain, Shen Hongmei seemed not to feel it at this moment, and just stared ahead with empty eyes.
Wang Huilian cried and asked Zhao Changgui: "Are you satisfied now?"
Zhao Changgui sat on the kang, clapping his hands and laughing like a madman: "Satisfied, quite satisfied, don't worry, I will definitely find someone to rescue your old man, hahahaha..."
But looking at Zhao Changgui's crazy look, Wang Huilian felt very unsure.
Zhao Changgui was a bad person before, but he wasn’t as mentally ill as he is now, right?
Wang Huilian couldn't help but look at Zhao Ping'an.
Apart from Zhao Changgui, Zhao Ping'an is the oldest in the Zhao family. If Zhao Changgui goes crazy, can Zhao Ping'an make the decision?
Zhao Ping'an comforted Wang Huilian in a low voice: "Since my father has agreed, he will definitely help you, don't worry."
As long as Zhao Changgui doesn't want to cause trouble for Chen Hongmei, it's still normal.
After going crazy for a while, Zhao Changgui finally calmed down.
He put on a gloomy look and looked at Wang Huilian: "Okay, if you have nothing else, just leave. Do you want to stay here for a meal?"
Wang Huilian looked at Zhao Changgui, who was obviously a little abnormal, and felt that he was unreliable. She wanted to know when he would leave: "When are you going? In the afternoon?"
Zhao Changgui half-lay down and said lazily, "How can I have time in the afternoon? I still have to go to work. Can you make up for the work points I missed?"
Wang Huilian was almost choked by these words.
Is there any day when you don’t go to work in the countryside?
If that's the case, then I can't go there anytime!
"Changgui, this is extremely urgent. Can you go there this afternoon and get some information?"
"Okay, okay, I get it. Don't bother me anymore. If you bother me again, I won't go." Zhao Changgui waved his hands irritably as if he was chasing away a fly.
Wang Huilian wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhao Ping'an.
He frowned and shook his head slightly at Wang Huilian.
There's no point in talking any more. If I say too much, his father will really quit.
Although Wang Huilian was still very worried, she didn't dare to say anything.
He could only compliment Zhao Changgui a few words and then planned to go home.
Before leaving, she pulled Shen Hongmei out of the house.
Chen Hongmei was like a puppet, being dragged to the gate by Wang Huilian.
Wang Huilian touched her face with tears in her eyes and cried, "Hongmei, does it hurt? It's my fault. I was trying to save your father. I'm sorry!"
As he said this, he hugged Shen Hongmei into his arms, covering his mouth and crying bitterly.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Shen Hongmei's faint voice in her ears: "Mom, you always say it's for my own good, but you always push me out. Do you really love me?"
Wang Huilian wiped her tears and said, "You are my flesh and blood. How could I not love you? But I really have no choice!"
Zhao Ping'an, who followed them out, saw that the two of them wanted to talk for a long time at the door. He was afraid that others would see them, so he said, "It's getting late, you should go back early!"
Wang Huilian saw that it was indeed getting late, so she let go of Shen Hongmei, turned around and forced a smile at Zhao Ping'an.
"Ping An, although Hong Mei is your stepmother, she is about the same age as you. I spoiled her at home and she can't do many things well."
"I know you are a good child, and I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Wang Huilian is optimistic that Zhao Changgui is a bastard.
It would be more practical to ask Zhao Ping'an to take better care of Hongmei than to ask him to take better care of her.
Zhao Ping'an's face suddenly turned red. He turned his head to one side unnaturally and nodded randomly: "Ah, okay."
Wang Huilian talked to Shen Hongmei for a long time, telling her to go along with Zhao Changgui and not to confront him, etc., all these are ways for couples to get along.
It was not until Shen Weimin and Shen Limin became impatient and urged her several times that Wang Huilian reluctantly left the Zhao family.
Only after leaving the village of Zhaojiawan did Shen Limin pat his chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
He said with some fear: "Why do I feel that Zhao Changgui is a little mentally abnormal? Why does he look like a madman?"
Shen Weimin nodded seriously, he felt the same way, getting angry for no reason.
Moreover, he was laughing while sending messages, which looked abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
But Wang Huilian scolded them: "Don't say bad things about him behind his back. After all, he is Hongmei's son-in-law. And don't tell these words back in the village. Do you hear me?"
The villagers' mouths are like an old lady's belt, they can be as loose as they want.
If what was said just now spread in the village, it would not take more than a few days for the rumor to spread that Zhao Changgui was really crazy.
How could Hongmei hold her head high in the village after that? How could she go back to her parents' home?
Shen Limin was a little unconvinced after being scolded: "Isn't there no outsider? Besides, what I said is the truth!"
"My sister's life was so miserable after she got married!!!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Limin clicked his tongue twice.
His father and Erbai at home also like to beat people, but they are not as perverted as Zhao Changgui.
It’s easy to imagine that Shen Hongmei’s life in the Zhao family is not going well!
His words brought back Wang Huilian's sadness.
She wiped her tears as she walked: "That damned Zhao Changgui, he married Hongmei at such an old age, but he still doesn't know how to cherish her. Sooner or later, he will die a miserable death."
After cursing Zhao Changgui, Wang Huilian still felt upset.
Turning around and seeing his two sons walking with hunched backs, he became even more furious: "Stand up straight and walk, what do you think of walking with hunched backs?"
"I asked you two to come and beg me for mercy, but you two didn't say a word. Do you hope that your father won't come back, so that you two brothers can be the head of this family?"
