Liu Xia buried her head, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Liu Chengfu couldn't bear to see her looking so aggrieved. He knew that his daughter had suffered so much and he shouldn't blame her anymore. But as a father, he felt very uncomfortable because Liu Xia was wronging herself.
He failed to protect his daughter.
Liu Xiangru couldn't bear to see this. Liu Xia was already suffering enough, and Liu Chengfu's words now were like adding another blow to Liu Xia's fragile heart.
She advised, "Brother, the marriage is over, and you and second brother beat up Guo Zhong. Don't blame Xia Xia for this. She was only thinking about you and the factory."
Liu Chengfu: "My own daughter was wronged, why should I blame her? It's that Guo guy. I really regret not being as ruthless as Lao Zhou and just breaking his legs."
"Brother, just give him a couple of beatings to vent your anger. Don't be like Lao Zhou," Liu Xiangru said. "Lao Zhou beat up Yu Yizhou. Going to the hospital was such a hassle. Lao Zhou almost got locked up."
Liu Chengfu sighed and couldn't feel happy even when holding Xiaobaoer. Looking at the poor and cute child, he felt sorry for him.
Liu Chengyun also said, "Brother, what Third Sister said is very true. Fortunately, I stopped you when you took the knife, otherwise we would have to send you to prison now."
Liu Xiangru glanced at Liu Chengyun, "Second brother, you are so shameless. Didn't you also join forces with the eldest brother?"
Liu Chengyun smiled embarrassedly, "I stopped my eldest brother because I was afraid that he would commit a crime. But Guo had to be dealt with. I have met many people like him who bully the weak and fear the strong. He just saw that our Xia Xia was married far away, so he started to fight. Xia Xia was isolated and helpless, and there was nothing she could do to him. Dealing with such a person is very simple. Just go back and beat him up. He will feel the pain and behave himself. Look at him now. Does he still dare to come to Yushan?"
The full name of Yushan is Yushan County, where the Liu family lives.
Guo Zhong's home is in Changshan County, which is adjacent to Yushan County, only a few dozen kilometers away. However, there are high mountains between the two counties, and it takes more than 100 kilometers to walk along the nearest winding mountain road.
After Liu Xia graduated, she found a job at the Changshan County Health Service Center. Guo Zhong went to the health service center to get medicine for his family and met Liu Xia. The two of them got to know each other and became a couple.
Because they were well-matched, both families were very optimistic about this marriage. Guo Zhong's parents said that Liu Xia would no longer have to work as a nurse, which was a hard and tiring job, and could just enjoy a peaceful life at home. To show their appreciation, they specially opened a card for Liu Xia and regularly deposited 10,000 yuan into it every month.
Guo Zhong's parents were really nice to Liu Xia. They didn't skip any of the pre-marriage formalities, and the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts were very formal. They gave a betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan alone.
Liu Chengfu was not a cheapskate either. When Liu Xia got married, he gave her a dowry of 300,000 yuan. Neither side was at a disadvantage.
According to Liu Chengfu, Liu Xia is marrying out, and will suffer if she lives alone in her husband's family. A new daughter-in-law is always an outsider to her husband's family, no matter how good her husband's family is.
However, the couple lived a good life in the previous year. Later, Guo Zhong felt that staying at home was too boring. He relied on his parents for everything and felt like a useless person, so he proposed to start his own small business.
Guo's parents were also very supportive and gave him 300,000 yuan.
Who knows where Guo Zhong met a bunch of bad friends who took him to gamble, where he lost everything and was left with a lot of debt.
Guo's parents helped to pay off the debt, but Guo Zhong did not repent. He continued to play off-road and later met a college student. He did not make any money but learned to play with women like the other student.
At that time, Liu Xia was already in the late stage of pregnancy. The old couple of the Guo family knew that their son had done something wrong, and they kept begging Liu Xia, saying that they would find a way to make Guo Zhong change his mind and return to the family.
Guo Zhong ran out of money outside and ran home to ask his parents for money. Liu Xia advised Guo's parents not to give him any money. Guo's parents also felt that Guo Zhong was a bottomless pit and did not want to give him any money.
However, Guo Zhong felt that it was Liu Xia who instigated his parents to cut off his source of income. He was already mentally unbalanced, thinking that Liu Xia just wanted to swallow up their family's property, especially since she was pregnant, which was the best handle for Liu Xia to control Guo's parents.
He was so angry that he didn't care that the child in Liu Xia's belly was his and hit Liu Xia. Fortunately, Guo's father intervened and Liu Xia only received a few slaps but was not seriously injured.
But a few slaps are enough to destroy a woman's hope for marriage. She has to live without her husband.
Guo Zhong was driven away by Guo's father with a broom. Liu Xia thought that at least Guo's parents were on her side and treated her well. Moreover, Liu Chengyun was originally very satisfied with the Guo family, and the two families also had business cooperation.
If she made a big deal out of it and embarrassed both families, both would suffer, so she had been enduring it.
Liu Chengyun would come to the Guo family to see her from time to time. Every time he came, Liu Xia pretended that she was living a good life, but only she knew how she was doing.
It was not until after Xiaobao was born that Guo Zhong came to ask for money again and beat Liu Xia again.
This time, Liu Chengyun caught him in the act. He was so angry that he rushed forward with a knife, swearing to chop Guo Zhong to pieces. If Liu Chengyun and Guo's father hadn't intervened, this would have been another criminal case.
Liu Chengyun snatched the knife from Liu Chengfu. Others thought he was trying to persuade Liu Chengfu, but they didn't expect him to snatch the knife and rush into the house himself.
At that time, Guo Zhong was the only one in the room.
Liu Chengfu looked at this and thought to himself that this was not good. He was impulsive, but how could his second brother be even more impulsive than him? He reacted and rushed forward to stop him.
I can't get myself into trouble for such a bad guy.
After Liu Chengfu and Guo's father entered the room, they saw Guo Zhong hiding in the corner, trembling with fear, begging for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Second Uncle, don't... don't..."
Liu Chengyun held the knife, his face fierce, ready to chop down at any moment.
"Second brother, calm down," Liu Chengfu said.
Liu Chengzhuan turned his head to look at Liu Chengfu, then at Guo's father.
Guo's father begged, and the man knelt down in front of him.
"Bang--" Liu Chengyun chopped down with a knife, making a deep gash in the wooden round table in front of Guo Zhong. The gash spread deep to the center of the round table.
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living punishment!" Liu Chengyun grabbed Guo Zhong's clothes and dragged him to the middle of the yard. He pushed him down and started punching and kicking him indiscriminately.
Guo Zhong covered his head and ran away, rolling on the ground.
Liu Chengfu still felt unhappy after watching this, so he stepped forward and kicked him twice.
Knives, guns, sticks and clubs cannot be used, but a few punches and kicks can still relieve the anger.
People in small places value their reputation, and Guo Zhong was wrong in this matter.
After being beaten black and blue, the Guo family couldn't say anything.
Liu Chengfu is not the kind of person who would let it go. Even though the old couple of the Guo family thought their son was a bastard, he didn't want to stop there and not pursue the matter.
He stopped doing business with the Guo family on the spot and vowed never to have any contact with them again. He didn't even let Liu Xia pack her things and took her home directly.
When Liu Xia was stuffed into the car by Liu Chengfu, she looked at her father crying and called "Dad" with tears in her eyes.
Having grievances makes one happier.
