Zhou's father was heartbroken.
His daughter is everything to him, his life.
Even if he had to risk his life, he would teach that beast a lesson.
Mother Zhou shed tears and felt powerless.
They are genuine country people, with no power, no influence, and no one to support the village.
How could he compete with Zhou Ping, who was doing very well in the city, not to mention that he also had a deputy factory director.
He's the deputy factory director, someone who can defeat them with just a few moves.
For the first time, Zhou's mother felt that she was insignificant and useless, unable to give her daughter a better life, nor could she protect her daughter.
Even when her daughter suffered such a great injustice, she did not insist on standing up and seeking justice for her daughter.
In my heart, I was still thinking of backing out, thinking it's better to have less trouble than more.
She is as timid as a mouse, only knows how to bully others in her own home, and she despises the poor and loves the rich, looking down on the peasants.
It is because of such a cowardly mother that her daughter has suffered misfortune in her life.
Zhou's mother felt both guilty and distressed.
If possible, let her suffer for her daughter!
"Dad, you are right. Ying'er can only rely on us now. If we still hide in our shells like turtles, we will be nothing.
Let's go and ask Ying'er for an explanation."
Zhou's father and mother borrowed an ox cart from the village and went to the county steel plant.
In the alley behind the steel plant, they met Zhou Ping.
Father Zhou punched him without saying a word.
"Bang."
Zhou Ping was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.
Father Zhou's eyes were red with anger, and he pointed at Zhou Ping with trembling fingers, saying sadly, "You are such a ruthless person, you have done so much harm to Ying'er."
Having said that, Father Zhou couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
The elderly father looked very helpless at this time.
In just half a day, he seemed to have aged ten years.
Zhou's mother supported Zhou's father, and at the same time supported her own body which was shaking with anger when she saw Zhou Ping.
Zhou's mother cried all the way home and her eyes were swollen.
"Zhou Ping, our family has been very kind to you, why do you want to repay kindness with enmity and harm your niece? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?
Go and see Ying'er, and see how badly she has been harmed by you. You are a beast!"
Zhou Ping wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, propped himself up, and stood up.
He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and his expression gradually turned cold.
Zhou Ping sneered sarcastically.
"Since you already know it, I have nothing to hide.
Yes, I am a beast, but you are not much better.
If you didn't love vanity, would you have been fooled by me? I tell you, you are the culprits for Zhou Ying's current fate.
If you want to settle the score with me, go back and repent on your own!
You have done no less evil than I have."
Zhou's mother was hit in a sore spot and couldn't find any reason to refute.
Father Zhou was so angry that he almost fainted again.
"You... you bastard, since you are so heartless, don't blame us for being so heartless. I'm going to sue you and put you in jail."
"Hahaha... sue me? What do you have to sue me on? Do you have evidence? If not, then I will sue you for defamation. Who will go to jail then?"
Zhou Ping said with a fierce look in his eyes, "I advise you not to mess around anymore. If you don't give in, I will go around destroying Zhou Ying's reputation and make your family a target of public condemnation. I wonder if you will still have the face to live in this world.
Get back here! You can’t beat me.”
Father Zhou was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, "You bastard, I will beat you to death."
He no longer had any rationality left, he walked up to Zhou Ping, grabbed him by the collar, and prepared to hit him.
Zhou Ping was caught off guard, so he was beaten.
But now that I'm prepared, how can I still let someone ride on my neck and shit on me?
Before Zhou's father's fist landed, Zhou Ping took the lead and hit Zhou's father on the chest.
Father Zhou was knocked to the ground by a punch.
Mother Zhou was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She wanted to help Father Zhou, but Father Zhou managed to get up by himself.
He was unwilling to give up, so he went forward and started wrestling with Zhou Ping.
At this time, four strong men rushed out from the entrance of the alley.
Zhou Ping shouted, "Give him a good lesson."
The strong men ran straight towards Zhou's father without saying a word.
The four men surrounded Zhou's father, beating and kicking him.
Zhou's father was no match for these people and was beaten so hard that he curled up on the ground and became a shrimp.
After a few seconds, Zhou's father could no longer bear it and vomited large mouthfuls of blood.
Mother Zhou was so frightened that she became paralyzed.
She cried out helplessly, "Please stop hitting me."
No one listened to her as the four strong men continued to beat Zhou's father to death.
Father Zhou was obviously dying.
Zhou's mother had no choice but to look to Zhou Ping for help.
She walked up to Zhou Ping and knelt down in front of him.
"Zhou Ping, please stop them. This time it's our fault. We will never come to you to cause trouble again. Please stop them.
He is your biological brother, you can’t just watch your brother get beaten to death! Please let our family go!"
Zhou Ping watched coldly for a while, and finally kindly reminded Zhou's mother, "Humph, this lesson is to teach you a lesson. If there is a next time, I will not be soft-hearted again."
Zhou's mother was filled with gratitude and thanked repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, there won't be a next time. We will leave immediately. Tell those people to stop beating us. If they continue beating us, your brother will be beaten to death."
Zhou Ping waved to the four men, and they immediately withdrew their hands and left.
On the ground, Zhou's father was covered in blood, with his face and nose bruised from being beaten.
Zhou Ping felt no guilt and left in a carefree manner.
Fortunately, Zhou Ying's family had no special abilities and couldn't do anything to him.
If it were someone with a stronger personality, he might not be so relaxed.
Zhou Ping felt very lucky that he had chosen to give Zhou Ying to Zhang San.
What a wise move.
After Zhou Ping left, Zhou's mother hurried to help Zhou's father.
"Dad, what happened to you? Are you sure? I'll take you to the hospital!"
Father Zhou was dying and shook his head, "No... I want to go home, not to the hospital, I want to... go home and be with Ying'er.
If she goes to the hospital, there will be no one to take care of her daughter.”
Zhou's mother wiped her tears distressedly and said, "Okay, let's go home."
When the two returned home, it was already late at night.
When Zhou Ying woke up, she found that her parents were not there. She was so scared that she huddled in a corner and sobbed.
She didn't dare stay alone in the empty room. She was afraid that Zhang San would find her and kidnap her. She was afraid of being beaten. She was afraid of returning to that disgusting place.
Mom and Dad, where are you? Don’t abandon me.
Just when she was drowsy from crying for most of the night, she heard some movement at the courtyard gate.
Zhou Ying thought that Zhang San came to arrest her, so she jumped off the bed and hid under the bed.
