Zhou Yue's father, Zhou Cheng'an, was an ace pilot transferred from an air force base. In addition to performing daily flights, he was also responsible for training and selecting pilots.
When needed, the Air Force unit where Zhou Cheng'an originally served would recall him to teach, making him an extremely rare talent. Therefore, Jiangcheng Airport arranged for him to stay in the quiet and secluded villa number 16.
There are fifteen such villas in the residential area, with a small flower garden between each villa.
It was almost eleven o'clock, a time when everyone should be asleep, but the lights were still on, especially in courtyard number 16, where the gate was crowded with people and the sounds of smashing and breaking could be heard from inside.
"Grandma Niannian is back!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd gathered in front of the courtyard gate quickly parted to both sides, making way for Liang Guiying.
The courtyard was a mess, and Granny Si was swinging an iron pipe and smashing the kitchen stove with all her might.
A woman in her forties tried to reason with her, but to no avail. The more the woman talked, the more vigorously the old woman smashed things.
What's the point of reasoning with an old woman like that?
Let's get straight to the truth!
Liang Guiying grabbed a brick and rushed into the kitchen, yelling, "They're bullying me, Liang Guiying! Get out of my way! I'll smash this old hag to death!"
When Liang Guiying slammed a brick down on her, Fourth Granny screamed in pain. After several attempts to retaliate failed, she simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Although Liang Guiying was fierce, she avoided vital points when she struck. She knew Si Po's situation better than anyone else.
That old hag is faking her death.
She raised the brick and smashed it into Fourth Aunt's right palm.
Grandma Si screamed in pain, "Help! Someone's trying to kill me! Call the police! I need to call the police!"
Liang Guiying kicked him twice more: "Then I'll call the police! I'm going to sue you for deliberately damaging my family's property! I'm also going to sue you for deliberately murdering my granddaughter! With both charges against you, I think you'll be spending the rest of your life eating government food in jail!"
Going to jail?
Grandma Si got scared: "I was wrong, I won't call the police! I won't call the police!"
Seeing Liang Guiying raise the brick again, Fourth Granny resolutely kowtowed: "Grandma Niannian, please don't hit me anymore, I was really wrong!"
The nearly seventy-year-old man was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back, his head covered in blood. Now he was kneeling down and kowtowing, and many people couldn't bear to watch any longer, so they spoke up:
"Grandma Niannian, she already knows she was wrong, so please stop hitting her. If you keep hitting her, she'll die."
"Grandma Niannian, it's true that Fourth Aunt didn't watch the child well this time, but she probably didn't do it on purpose. You've already hit her, so let's just let it go for now."
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Fourth Aunt quickly said, "Yes, yes, I didn't mean it. I'm not usually like this. I usually treat Niannian like my own granddaughter—"
"You treat Niannian like your own granddaughter? Then tell everyone how you usually treat Niannian! If you dare to hide even a single word, I'll beat you half to death!"
Liang Guiying, holding a brick and looking fierce, was just like the King of Hell!
Having been beaten twice in one day, Fourth Aunt was terrified and hurriedly pleaded, "Stop hitting me! I'll talk! I'll talk, okay?"
“I deliberately starved Niannian, not giving her any food or meat, and told others that she was a picky eater and didn’t want to eat.”
“When she cried, I would poke her mouth with a needle or tape her mouth shut. When she wanted to go out to play, I would hit her or burn her with a fire poker…”
Those who had previously sympathized with her were stunned when they heard Fourth Aunt admit how she had treated Niannian.
This person has an honest-looking face and smiles at everyone he meets. Who would have thought that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing and would abuse a child who is not even two years old!
Liang Guiying was heartbroken. She suppressed the urge to beat the man to death on the spot, gripped the brick tightly, and said fiercely:
"You dared to abuse Niannian while Zhou Yue was still alive! Back then, Zhou Yue was only five years old and had already lost both her parents. Wouldn't you have beaten her even more severely then? Tell me! How did you treat Zhou Yue!"
Fourth Aunt was so afraid of being hit by Liang Guiying's brick again that she dared not hide anything and confessed everything:
“I scolded and beat Zhou Yue every day, and I didn’t give her food. If she wanted to eat, she had to kneel down and kowtow to me!”
"I won't let her sleep if I'm unhappy, until she kneels down until I'm happy!"
“I won’t let her leave the house, I won’t let her talk to anyone outside. If anyone talks to her, I’ll lock her in the storeroom, tie her hands and feet, gag her so she won’t cry, and if she cries out even once, I’ll prick her with a needle! I’ll lock her up for three days and three nights without giving her any food…”
Liang Guiying only learned about the abuse that Zhou Yue and she suffered at the hands of this old woman year after year after her death, through Zhou Yue's tearful account. Although she had heard it once and was angry once, hearing the old woman admit it to herself now still made her want to kill her.
Liang Guiying raised a brick and approached step by step. As the old woman dodged, she sobbed, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! Grandma Niannian, please forgive me! I'll never do it again!"
"...I am Zhou Yue's aunt's biological aunt, we are relatives, please don't come any closer!"
It's impossible not to go.
Liang Guiying angrily slammed two more bricks down, her expression cold: "You old hag, let me ask you, did Zhou Yue's aunt know about your abuse of her? If she didn't know, then I'll only hold you accountable. From now on, regardless of the occasion or right or wrong, I'll beat you every time I see you."
"If she knows you are abusing Zhou Yue and does nothing, then when I have time, I will definitely go to her door to demand justice for my Zhou Yue."
"Furthermore, Zhou Yue is a legitimate child of an airport worker. Her father was a martyr, and her mother also died in the line of duty. The airport would definitely have arranged for her to work there. So why did she end up working at a cotton mill? Her cousin didn't even graduate from junior high school, yet she became an airport employee. Was her cousin exceptionally outstanding, or did her kind aunt do something behind the scenes?"
"Tell her to prepare her answer to me. I, Liang Guiying, will be going to have tea and a chat with her soon."
Fourth Aunt hurriedly agreed, and Liang Guiying slowly walked over: "You have to return all of the Zhou family's belongings and restore the house to its original state by noon tomorrow, or I will make a scene at your son's workplace! I'll get your son fired! I'll send your whole family back to the countryside to farm!"
