The next morning, the Zhao family members all woke up late. It was Liu Chun, who had been hiding in the room the night before, who had untied them and helped them into the room.
But the pain in my body couldn't be stopped even after applying the medicated oil.
Zhao Qiang grimaced in pain, "I'm definitely going to report this to the police tomorrow!"
Liu Chun shuddered at the thought of those menacing men. “Going there won’t do any good! They climbed over the wall yesterday, and the neighbors didn’t see them. They gagged you when they beat you, so it wasn’t a big commotion. Didn’t you see that the neighbors weren’t alerted?”
"Only our family saw them assaulting someone, do you think the police will believe that?"
Zhao Qiang thought about it and realized it was true. He was so angry that he punched the wall, but was immediately thrown back by the pain.
Liu Chun glared at him angrily, "Look how capable you are, does it hurt now?"
Zhao Qiang was unwilling to give up. "Are we just going to let it go like this? If we don't get the job done, Boss Mu won't pay us anymore, let alone give us the job!"
Liu Chun was also unwilling to accept this situation. There was an opportunity to live a better life, but who would want to be poor and destitute?
Let's discuss it with my family tomorrow!
The couple couldn't sleep soundly, and Zhao's parents also couldn't sleep, lying listlessly in bed pondering what to do next.
On the contrary, Zhao Gang was beaten the most severely and had fainted from the pain. However, his wife had run away and his son was with his parents, so no one noticed that he had fainted.
So, the next day, the whole family overslept and appeared with panda eyes.
The two women from the Zhao family went out to buy groceries, but they noticed that everyone around them was looking at them with strange eyes.
Some people even pointed at them and whispered, and when they looked over, some of the bolder ones even spat at them.
The two were so angry that they were about to confront the other party, but the other party had already slipped away.
The two, seething with anger, went to the nearest farmers' market.
They had just picked up a piece of meat when the butcher snatched it away, glaring at them coldly, "Hmph! You're all a bunch of scoundrels, I won't sell you any meat! Get out!"
When had Zhao's mother ever been insulted like this? Her eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips and began to yell back, "What right do you have to talk about us like that? So what if you're a butcher?"
"What do you mean by swearing at your customers when you're doing business? If you can't explain yourself clearly today, I'm standing right here! You won't be selling a single piece of meat!"
"Exactly! Why does your mouth smell so bad? We're buying your meat, and you're being picky?"
Before the butcher could say anything, people nearby were already shoving the mother and daughter-in-law.
"Hey! If you're not going to buy it, then get out of the way! We want to buy it!"
"Exactly! What's wrong with scolding you? Shouldn't we scold you? The boss was actually quite polite! If it were me, I probably would have scolded you much harsher!"
"Exactly! You heartless, biased old woman! If you don't like children, then tighten your belt and don't loosen it! You bring them into this world and then torment them, what's wrong with you?"
...
The people around them pushed them out, cursing and swearing. Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone so many mouths. How could they possibly be a match for them?
Before she could say more than a few words, she was rebuffed, which made both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turn pale with anger.
After visiting several stalls but no one was willing to sell them anything, the two realized something was wrong.
Liu Chun wrapped a scarf around her head to shield herself from the stares of others. "Mom! What's going on? Why are so many people cursing at us? It seems to have something to do with the second son!"
She gleaned some meaning from the insults they had just heard; they were basically saying that the family had bullied the second child! And that they were standing up for the second child!
Zhao's mother also covered half of her face with a scarf, keeping her head down and refusing to look at the people pointing at her.
"Let's go! We'll talk about this when we get back!"
She's not stupid, of course she understood! She just doesn't understand how these things became so widely known!
When I got home, I saw the three men in the house sitting there, looking dejected.
