Zheng Ya's reply angered Lao Yuan: "I'm worried that Liu Haizhong's actions will damage your reputation."
What are you thinking, kid?
"Uh, is that so? I misunderstood you. Hey, don't go!" Zheng Ya was slightly taken aback. Was this a case of "success and failure both stemming from Xiao He"?
A good reputation can be a burden.
People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat.
"It can't be that bad," Zheng Ya thought, watching Lao Yuan's departing figure, unsure of what to do.
However, after being deliberately provoked by Lao Yuan, Zheng Ya could no longer remain calm. He then released his supernatural perception and began searching for information about Liu Haizhong's family.
At this time, Liu Haizhong did not go to work; he stayed at home beating his wife, not letting her cry out: "I'll beat you to death, you stupid woman."
You use my things all day long, eat my things, you're just a pig.
Can I make money by raising a pig?
You sold your son, you sold him all, so you should at least give me a share of the money! I'll beat you to death...
"Waaah," Li Cuifang lay on the bed, biting her pillow and sobbing, letting him beat her.
In fact, Li Cuifang had had enough.
The whole thing started with Liu Haizhong beating the child.
The key issue is that beating children is not a big deal if you treat all children equally. Everyone has their own way of teaching children.
The saying "Spare the rod and spoil the child" is an old proverb and dogma.
Influenced by the older generation, it is not wrong to discipline children with sticks. Parents hitting their children is for their own good. How can it be considered wrong?
The problem is that Liu Haizhong dotes on his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, feeding and spoiling him, while he beats his two younger sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.
This had a serious impact on the mental health of the three children.
The two younger sons felt it was unfair; they were not fed or clothed and were beaten by Liu Haizhong. They dreamed of becoming like their older brother, Liu Guangqi, who had everything done for him.
Liu Guangqi had long been spoiled by his parents and had developed a strong sense of superiority. He enjoyed watching his father beat his younger brother, which satisfied his vanity. He always felt that everything in the Liu family belonged to him, and the whole family revolved around him, speaking and acting in accordance with his joys and sorrows.
This kind of life would have continued, and Liu Guangqi would have enjoyed all the superior benefits in the Liu family.
But the weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant.
Since Zheng Ya's strong return, he has repeatedly attacked Liu Haizhong, which eventually led to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu severing their father-son relationship with Liu Haizhong. This has caused Liu Haizhong to make repeated mistakes, become infamous, and be disliked and condemned wherever he goes, making Liu Guangqi too ashamed to stay.
Liu Guangqi lost all his sense of superiority. He went out and was subjected to people's advice and lived a life of torment. He took an extreme step and became a live-in son-in-law.
Before leaving, he took all the money and banknotes from the house and quietly departed.
The key point is that Liu Guangqi's departure directly destroyed Liu Haizhong's lifeline. Without his pillar of support, his personality changed drastically, and he shifted all the blame onto his wife, Li Cuifang, resorting to beatings and scoldings.
In just three days, Li Cuifang was beaten so badly by Liu Haizhong that she was barely recognizable as a human being. It was better for Li Cuifang to go out and make a scene.
Otherwise, the beating will be doubled.
However, the houses in the courtyard are all made of wood, and any slight noise from the neighboring houses will disturb the neighbors.
Liu Haizhong beat his wife at home and kept rambling on about how his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, stole money and ran away, and became a live-in son-in-law. All of this was overheard by the neighbors!
The neighbors spread the word, and the news about the Liu family quickly spread.
After learning about this, Liu Haizhong shifted the blame onto Li Cuifang and beat her even more severely. This alarmed Liu Guangfu, who was passing by, and he ran home to protect his mother. Both of them were also beaten by Liu Haizhong.
The appearance of Liu Guangfu aroused Liu Haizhong's evil intentions, and he threatened Liu Guangfu to poison the food in the planting base, or he would beat Li Cuifang to death.
This put Liu Guangfu in a difficult position.
Zheng Ya sensed these things happening to the Liu family, and a dark cloud hung over his heart. He then began to monitor Liu Guangfu's movements.
Liu Guangfu did not receive a job at the planting base and is now digging irrigation ditches with the People's Liberation Army.
During a break from work, Liu Guangtian, feeling sorry for his younger brother, brought him a water bottle: "Guangfu, take a break and have some water first?"
"Brother, if I'm gone, please protect Mom from now on..." Liu Guangfu felt that Liu Haizhong was not human. If he didn't agree to let him poison the food at the planting base, he would definitely beat his mother to death.
Although Liu Guangfu also wanted to take the matter to the police station and seek their help to free his mother, Li Cuifang, from her suffering, he knew that it would be useless to Liu Haizhong, as he had learned a lot about the law from the People's Liberation Army during this period.
The police had no reason to arrest Liu Haizhong, and would also look at Liu Guangfu, the person who reported his biological father, differently.
Besides, Liu Haizhong said something in anger, and it was just a quarrel between husband and wife. The police couldn't do anything about Liu Haizhong.
Ultimately, it's a family conflict. Without anyone being injured and hospitalized, and with Li Cuifang reporting her husband Liu Haizhong for assault, Liu Guangfu's mere accusation of severing ties with his son will only have negative effects and bring no benefit whatsoever.
This led Liu Guangfu to decide to poison the food at the planting base in order to save his mother, Li Cuifang. He was not afraid of going to jail even if it made a big fuss, as long as he could save his mother, Li Cuifang.
Liu Guangtian noticed something was wrong with him: "Guangfu, what's wrong with you?"
"Did that old guy with the bangs hit Mom again? Tell me!"
"Second brother, don't ask anymore. Just remember what I said. It's nothing. I'm going to work." Liu Guangfu handed the water bottle to Liu Guangtian, turned around, picked up a hoe, and walked forward to dig the irrigation ditch.
Liu Guangtian was completely bewildered. Suddenly, he heard Qian Mingliang calling for people to get to work from the other side, so he put Liu Guangfu's strange behavior out of his mind and turned to go to work.
Zheng Ya perceived all of this clearly and seemed to be deep in thought.
Fu Qingyao stepped onto the grass under the setting sun and approached him, saying, "You brat, you know about Commander Lei's daughter?"
"Mom, I don't understand," Zheng Ya said, frustrated.
If it didn't violate any moral principles and it was something someone else asked for, Zheng Ya could have offered to help.
However, Zheng Yazhen is not a casual person. Considering the possibility of raising offspring with supernatural abilities, he does not want to help others conceive for the time being.
The method of cultivating offspring with supernatural abilities has not yet been mastered.
Having a few more ordinary children is insignificant to Zheng Ya; he might even have some reservations about it, so it's not worth it.
It would be better to wait until a method for producing offspring with supernatural abilities is developed before considering having more children.
Fu Qingyao glared at her: "I've made up my mind. You have no right to refuse to save people, do you hear me?"
"I... I'll go back and discuss it with my wife first..." Zheng Ya tried to cover up his frustration, but Fu Qingyao laughed: "Your daughter-in-law is already under my control, so you're getting ready to rescue her, aren't you?"
"What? You're setting up a private court? I won't accept this..." Zheng Ya was annoyed. They're all ganging up on him!
Fu Qingyao waved her hand dismissively to change the subject: "Saving lives is like putting out a fire, there's no room for discussion."
Now let's talk about the Liu family...
