Zhang Xin, still seething with anger, burst into a tirade:
“All you ever do is ask me for money. Giving you 20 yuan a month isn’t enough. You secretly save it all and send it back to your mother. Remember this: you married me because you’re no longer part of your family. I can earn money to support you, but supporting your parents? No way.”
Ge Qiuqin burst into tears from the pain. She knew that if she talked back now, Zhang Xin would only get angrier, and she might not only fail to get the money but also get a beating and scolding.
The eldest son, Zhang Zhicheng, saw his mother being kicked to the ground by his father and ran out crying, grabbing Ge Qiuqin's arm.
"Dad, I don't want to buy new shoes anymore. I don't want to buy new shoes anymore. My shoes are still wearable. Please don't hit Mom. Mom did so much work today and she's so tired."
Zhang Xin was still angry, and seeing his eldest son speak up for Ge Qiuqin made him even angrier. He suddenly remembered that Chen Yan had told him that she didn't like children. Seeing his eldest son not helping him today, he suddenly felt that the child was really annoying.
He simply walked over barefoot, grabbed the eldest son Zhang Zhicheng, pulled him up, and started whipping him with the sole of his shoe, making the child wail loudly.
Zhang Xin cursed as he spoke.
"You little brat, you eat and drink my food every day, and you're still being naughty and making me angry. You do the opposite of what I want, buying shoes, buying your mother's shoes. I'll beat you to death today."
The eldest brother, Zhang Zhicheng, was beaten until his buttocks were covered in red and purple welts, and even his arms and back were bruised and swollen. He cried and said:
"Dad, I don't want to buy any more shoes, I don't want to buy any more shoes, I can still wear my old shoes, I'm not afraid of my classmates laughing at me anymore, please don't be angry, please don't hit me or Mom, I got a perfect score on my test again, the teacher praised me, I don't want to buy any more shoes, Dad."
