Zhou Ying's heart was in her throat, and she was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound.

Outside the courtyard gate, Zhou's mother came in with Zhou's father. They first helped Zhou's father back to his room to lie down, and then quickly went to Zhou Ying's room.

Seeing that the room was empty, Zhou's mother panicked.

"Dad, Ying'er is missing."

Father Zhou had just laid down on the bed. When he heard this, he forced himself to get up and walked to Zhou Ying's room, but as expected, he didn't see anyone there.

Just as I was about to go out to look for someone, I felt something under the bed.

After a while, a person came out from inside.

Zhou's father and mother were shocked.

Thinking it was a thief and preparing to scream, he saw his own daughter crawling out from under the bed.

Zhou's father and mother felt sad.

Zhou's mother hurried forward and helped Zhou Ying up.

"My daughter, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

Zhou Ying immediately felt wronged again. She threw herself into Zhou's mother's arms and hugged her carefully, "Mom, I thought you didn't want me anymore. I was scared."

"Silly girl, why would we not want you?

Don't be afraid, with your parents here, no one can bully you."

Zhou Ying calmed down and got up from Zhou's mother's arms. Just when she was about to ask where they had been, she saw Zhou's father covered in injuries.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou's father quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it won't be a big deal."

Zhou Ying walked up to Zhou's father and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, who hit you?" She suddenly thought of something and felt even more guilty.

"Dad, did you go to find Zhou Ping? Was it Zhou Ping who beat you?"

Father Zhou sighed helplessly and said, "Ying'er, we don't have the ability to avenge you. Zhou Ping is too arrogant. We can't do anything to him.

I'm sorry, it's because of your parents' uselessness that you have suffered."

Zhou Ying shook her head quickly, "Dad, it's not your fault, it's my fault. Let this be a lesson to us. I admit that I am unlucky.

You must not go to that person again, we can't deal with them at all.

In the future, your daughter only wants to stay by your side, take care of you, and be filial to you.

I don’t want to be separated from you.”

She really wanted to forget those dark days.

Zhou's father and mother felt sad again.

They hugged Zhou Ying and comforted her helplessly, "Okay, from now on, we will live a good life as a family and never separate again."

In this way, Zhou Ying escaped from the clutches of the devil and lived in her mother's home.

Father Zhou was beaten so badly that he could only lie in bed to recuperate.

After Zhou Ying escaped from Zhang San, he gradually became cheerful again.

Zhou's mother prepared delicious food for her every day, chatted with her and helped her forget her unpleasant experiences.

With the care of her family, Zhou Ying regained hope for the future.

In fact, when a family is together, a simple life can be very happy.

Zhou Ying enjoyed the good life she had again.

This day was Zhou Ying’s 30th birthday.

Mother Zhou went to the village early in the morning to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat, and cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

She wants to give her daughter a proper birthday.

At noon, the three members of the Zhou family sat at the table, and everyone had mixed feelings.

This is truly hard-earned happiness!

Zhou Ying put a chicken leg in each of Zhou's father and mother's bowls.

"Mom and Dad, you've both lost weight. Eat more and take good care of your bodies."

This small gesture instantly made Zhou's father and mother burst into tears.

"Okay, you should eat more too. Eat up all the chicken and gain more meat, so that you can be beautiful."

The three of them were immersed in the warm atmosphere and had a happy meal.

After dinner, Zhou Ying offered to help wash the dishes.

She put away the dishes and prepared to wash them by the well in the yard. As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen threshold, she saw a man coming in from the yard gate.

With a "clang", all the bowls in Zhou Ying's hands fell to the ground and shattered.

Zhou's father and mother were startled and hurried over to check, "What's wrong, Ying'er? Are you hurt anywhere?"

While asking the question, I also saw someone standing at the gate of the courtyard.

The man was slovenly, unkempt, ugly, and looked like a human.

Zhou's mother thought it was a beggar passing by, so she went to the kitchen and took out a steamed bun.

He walked to the gate of the courtyard and handed the steamed bun to the man.

“Take it and eat it!”

She would not have been so kind before, but now she has figured it out.

It must have been because she had done too many evil things in the past that her daughter had no blessings. From now on, she must accumulate blessings for her daughter.

Zhang San looked at the steamed bun that Zhou's mother handed over to him and slapped it away.

Zhou's mother frowned, "Why are you so..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang San rushed into the yard, walked up to Zhou Ying, and slapped her twice.

"You bastard, you dare to run away? I will beat you to death today."

Zhou Ying begged for mercy reflexively, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't hit me."

Her fear of Zhang San was so deep in her bones that she would be terrified whenever she saw him.

Zhou's father and mother were frightened and angry.

Who is this person? How dare he hit their daughter?

The two men stood in front of Zhou Ying and asked, "Who are you? How dare you come to my house and commit murder?"

Zhang San snorted coldly, "I am her man, it is only natural for me to beat her up."

Zhou's father and mother were stunned. This person was Zhang San!

Zhou's father became furious instantly and wanted to fight Zhang San to the death.

But he had just recovered and was still very weak, so he was no match for Zhang San.

Zhang San easily knocked Zhou's father to the ground and punched him again and again.

Zhou Ying shouted desperately, "Stop beating me, let my father go, and I will go back with you."

Zhou's mother wanted to step forward to stop the fight, but Zhang San swung his elbow back and hit her on the bridge of her nose.

Suddenly, Zhou's mother's nose broke and blood spurted out.

"Mom, mom, are you okay?" Zhou Ying hurried to see how her mother was doing.

Mother Zhou was beaten so hard that she saw stars and was unable to recover for a long time.

Zhou Ying cried heartbreakingly, looked at Zhang San, and begged him, "I beg you to let my parents go! Can't I go back with you?"

Zhang San had beaten enough people, so he stood up and looked at Zhou Ying with vicious eyes.

"You bastard, you dare to run away without making a sound? I'll deal with you later."

Zhang San looked away, looked around the yard, then went back into the house and looked around.

He searched through the closets, drawers, and boxes.

Finally, Zhang San looked at the house with satisfaction and came up with an idea.

He looked at the three people who were walking to the door, supporting each other and trembling, and said, "This house is nice. You two old people are quite capable. I will not leave from now on. You must provide me with good food and drink, otherwise, I will beat you to death."

Zhou's parents were helpless and Zhou Ying's face was filled with despair.

With Zhang San's arrival, the Zhou family instantly fell from heaven to hell.

Zhang San is a truly helpless person, and a more ruthless character than Zhou Ping.

If you don't do what he wants, he'll curse and throw things.

Zhou's father and mother were often beaten and scolded by him.

Zhou Ying was even more miserable.

Every night, I would be bullied by Zhang San until I cried my heart out.

After a few days of such inhuman life, Zhou's mother couldn't stand it anymore.

She had only heard her daughter talk about how miserable her life was, but she couldn't empathize with her daughter without actually experiencing it.

But now, she saw it with her own eyes. Mother Zhou felt like the sky had fallen. If it weren't for her daughter, she would really die.

That night, Zhang San bullied Zhou Ying in the room again.

Zhou's father wanted to rush in and kill the man.

Zhou's mother held the man back and begged, crying, "Don't go. You can't beat him."

"Then we can't just let others bully us. Didn't you hear your daughter asking us for help?"

"I heard it, I heard it, but what can I do? We can't win the lawsuit, we can't beat him, we can't escape him, what else can we do?"

It would be great if someone could take care of these beasts.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou's mother's mind, as if she saw hope, and she came up with an idea.

"Dad, let's go find Xu Zhengyang. He will definitely help us."
