Xie Hehua, who had just returned from her escape, trembled all over when she thought about what she was about to go through. She kept shouting in her heart: It's over, it's over, this time Dad is going to beat me to death.
Just when Xie Hehua hadn't figured out a solution, Xie Dazhu kicked open the door angrily.
Xie Hehua stood up tremblingly, "Dad."
"You silly girl, I've told you so many times that you shouldn't talk too much outside. Now look, your father and I have become a thorn in the side of the whole village because of you. Who knows what people outside think of me and our Xie family. They will say that because I am a team leader, I allow my daughter to bully others outside by relying on my name. They will talk about our Xie family behind our backs and say that I am unfair. To put it worse, some people will say that I withheld their work points. They will also say that your third brother is taking advantage of your third brother's status as an officer to bully others in the village and act lawless. If your third brother's enemies find out, do you think your third brother's military uniform can still be kept?
Xie Hehua, kneel down. Boss, kill this bastard.
Liu Pan'er quickly stopped him, saying, "Dad, it's the Qin family who's looking for trouble today. Besides, you've been the team leader for so many years, everyone knows you're the most fair, and no one would forget what they think. Hehua knows she's wrong, so don't hit her. If she gets hurt, we'll have to pay for her medical treatment ourselves, which is not worth it."
Boss Xie said, "Dad, the most important thing now is how to calm things down. Besides, Dad has asked Hehua to apologize to her, so people outside won't say anything more."
"Dad, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Qin Hongyi deliberately angered me today, otherwise I wouldn't have hit her. It's all her fault. Dad, please stop hitting me. I haven't even proposed to you yet. How can I get married if you hurt me?"
Xie Dazhu watched as people pleaded for Xie Hehua one by one, "If you do it again, I'll marry you off. That way you won't have to stay at home and get upset."
"Dad, I know. I won't do it again."
"Eldest wife, tidy up and prepare to cook." After saying that, Xie Dazhu went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
Liu Pan'er pulled Xie Hehua up and said, "If you continue like today, I can't protect you anymore."
"Mom, it was Qin Hongyi who really bullied me today. He also said that his second brother got a promotion. I was so angry that I started fighting."
After Liu Pan'er and Xie Hehua returned to the house, Boss Xie's face was gloomy, and Qin Zheng's words about his promotion echoed in his mind.
At the dinner table, Xie Dazhu had a cold face as he ate the rice in his bowl.
Boss Xie glanced at Xie Dazhu and said, "Dad, my third brother called last time and said he's dating that woman. They've been together for about half a year. I wonder when he and that woman will get married?"
"In a few days, the third brother will send money back, and he will probably write back too. If he doesn't mention it in the letter, I will call him and ask."
"Okay. By the way, Dad. This afternoon, when Qin Hongyi and my little sister were fighting, he said that his second brother got a promotion. I wonder if my third brother got a promotion this time?"
Xie Dazhu put down his chopsticks, his already dark expression darkening even further. "If the Third Brother gets promoted, he'll definitely write to us to announce the good news. We don't know anything, and asking would only harm the Third Brother. Let's just wait for his letter."
"Okay, Dad."
The meal ended with Xie Dazhui hitting Xie Hehua again.
That night, Liu Pan'er asked Xie Dazhu, "Dad, why didn't the third son get promoted this time? Why did the second son of the Qin family get promoted instead?"
"Who knows? You should take care of your family's affairs first."
"Dad, am I not doing a good job in managing this family's affairs?"
"Well, let's find someone for Lotus to marry someday."
Liu Pan'er was instantly unhappy when she heard this. After all, Xie Hehua had been sweet-spoken since she was a child. Liu Pan'er had put in a lot of effort and even wanted to ask the third brother to find a partner for Hehua in the army.
"Dad, didn't we agree that the third brother would find a soldier for Hehua in the army? Why did you change your mind again?"
"Who would be interested in someone like Lotus? She's so lazy all day long and does nothing. She should just get married and have no worries."
"Dad, don't you want a son-in-law who is an official? Besides, although Hehua is from the countryside, she graduated from junior high school and is educated. And with her third brother helping her, how could anyone not be interested in her? Dad, it's really a heavy burden for the third brother to be in the army alone. If Hehua can really help out a little, it will save him a lot of worry."
Xie Dazhu thought for a moment, "Take some time to teach Hehua how to wash clothes, cook, and clean the house, and straighten out her temper. We can talk about her marriage later."
When Liu Pan'er heard this, she immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go talk to him tomorrow."
At the same time, people in Boss Xie's house were also discussing in low voices.
"Dad, why didn't his uncle get a promotion? Didn't the third uncle write to you saying that he found a daughter who's an official? Why didn't he get a promotion this time?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Just go to sleep. Dad said he'll ask, of course he will."
"Hey, my child's father, do you really want to marry my little sister off?"
"How can I know what Dad is thinking? But I do know one thing: Dad worked so hard to raise my little sister to be an educated person with a junior high school diploma. There is no way he would just marry her off to a peasant."
The eldest daughter-in-law's headache got worse when she heard this. Why did Xie Hehua have to stay at home any longer? She was exhausted.
At the same time, in the second room of the Xie family, the second son’s wife was also talking to the second son Xie.
"Dad, you keep talking about influence, but I don't see any impact. Some time ago, people said that the second son of the Qin family was going to get into trouble, but now he has been promoted. Do you think the third son is not doing well in the army? Otherwise, why did he get promoted after the second son of the Qin family every time?"
