You should know that Zhang Laowu was supporting the big, fat boy on his back with both hands.
Caught off guard by Huang Hongmei's sudden lunge, he fell straight forward, landing a bloody hole in his forehead.
It was just his bad luck; when he fell, his chin hit a small pebble, knocking out two of his front teeth. He was in so much pain that he lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Oh, it's also possible that he couldn't climb over because there was a big fat guy on his back.
Not a single one of the bystanders, who were watching the drama unfold, stepped forward to help.
Zhang Laowu was in so much pain that he felt like he was dying. He looked at the people around him numbly, and he couldn't even feel hatred in his heart.
He knew he was reaping what he sowed; after all, he had always treated people badly.
Previously, with Zhang Jizhou serving him in the army, he had a steady stream of income, and he also had several cheap children brought by Huang Hongmei to serve him.
At that time, Zhang Laowu thought it didn't matter whether he got along well with the villagers or not, because money could make the devil turn the millstone.
Now he understands what it means that money isn't everything, what it means that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and what it means that you'll always suffer the consequences of doing the worst things to others.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see my husband fall? Didn't you even come up to help?"
Huang Hongmei realized she had made a mistake. She hurriedly went over to help Zhang Laowu up while cursing the onlookers around her.
That's just how she is; whenever she gets into trouble, she always blames others.
When she first arrived in Gouzi Village, people didn't know her character and would occasionally help her.
As a result, anyone who helped her ended up getting into trouble. Over time, people learned about her character, and no one wanted to associate with her anymore, let alone help her.
"Slap! Slap!"
With Huang Hongmei's help, Zhang Laowu was finally able to sit up. As soon as he sat up, he immediately slapped Huang Hongmei twice across the face, yelling, "You filthy woman! You jinx!"
Just now, he suddenly realized how important it is to marry a virtuous wife.
In the past, when Xue Wanxue was alive, she didn't often interact with her neighbors.
She was polite and generous to others, and her occasional interactions with her neighbors earned her everyone's praise.
When there's an emergency at home, everyone is willing to lend a hand. But now, he's desperate and has nowhere to turn, yet no one is willing to lend him a hand.
Everything changed after they married this widow.
And his precious son, if it weren't for this widow's bad influence, how could he have ended up like this...?
Thinking of the chubby boy, Zhang Laowu forgot everything else and kicked Huang Hongmei, who was crying loudly after being beaten, again. "Are you blind? Didn't you see that Bao Cai was in trouble? Why aren't you going to call Lao San over?"
Now, Zhang Laowu can only place all his hopes on Zhang Jizhou.
"Bao Cai! What's wrong with Bao Cai?"
Late at night, in the alleys of Gouzi Village, where there are no streetlights, one can only vaguely make out figures by the light shining from the doorways of other houses.
Huang Hongmei knew that Da Pangdun had been motionless, but she didn't realize that he had stopped breathing.
Hearing Zhang Laowu's shout, he instinctively wanted to come over and see what was wrong with his precious son.
As a result, Zhang Laowu kicked him out again, yelling, "I told you to go and call Lao San over right now, are you deaf or didn't you hear me?!"
