Wan Si is still crying. It hurts so much. She feels wronged, scared, and panicked.
How could Dad do this? He's no different from a madman.
Seeing that Wan Si didn't move, Wan Lin grabbed the feather duster and was about to use it again when Captain Wan stopped him. "Alright, what are you doing? Can you stop acting recklessly all the time!"
"This is your own daughter. What if you scare her?"
After saying that, Captain Wan looked at Wan Si, who was trembling a little, and said, "Sisi, you are doing your internship at a school in the county, right? Elementary or junior high school? I am quite familiar with the teachers there, and I can take you there. However, your mother's matter will affect you. You know our county is quite small."
Even the smallest thing can become the talk of the town. If you don't call your mother back and clear up this misunderstanding, it will affect your future.
You wouldn't want to be stared at with strange looks just for going out, would you? And you certainly wouldn't want negative comments about your internship.
Captain Wan's voice was much gentler, and he didn't yell, but every word he said struck a chord with Wan Si. She really couldn't let this matter continue to escalate.
When she returned today, the villagers looked at her with a half-smile, as if they were saying strange things behind her back.
This is how it is in the village; if it were in the county town, it would be in the school. She couldn't imagine how the rumors would eventually turn into.
If my internship goes poorly, how will I graduate and take the postgraduate entrance exam?
After leaving this place, she never wanted to come back. The outside world was so prosperous and so big. She didn't want to return to this small mountain village and be confined to it. She didn't want to be like her former elementary school classmates, getting married at a young age.
Getting married, having children, raising them, and then becoming a nanny in that household—this is definitely not a life that anyone would want.
Once she leaves this remote mountain village, she will never fly back. She is a phoenix that has soared to the top of a branch; she should be flying high in the world.
Of course, she still felt sorry for her mother, so she mustered up her courage and looked at her father. "I can call Mom and ask her to come back, but you have to promise me that you will never hit Mom again, and you will never hurt her again."
Wan Lin certainly didn't want to make any guarantees; he just wanted Mo Yan to come back, and things would be easier once she returned.
But his third uncle was watching him with a dark expression, and Wan Lin impatiently agreed. "Fine, fine, I agree. You hurry up and call your mother and tell her to come back and get this sorted out."
Wan Si slowly stood up, taking many steps back to keep a distance from Wan Lin. Her face was still burning, and her body, hands, and feet were also in pain. She suspected she was bleeding.
Wan Si took out his phone, entered Mo Yan's phone number, and then dialed it.
Mo Yan took out her phone and saw Wan Si's call.
She didn't mind and continued working on her own.
They insisted on getting through, but Wan Si shook his head at the two of them, "He didn't answer."
Wan Lin's face immediately turned ugly. He grabbed a book from the side and slammed it to the ground. "I told you, that Mo Yan just ran away and doesn't want to come back. Maybe she ran off with some random guy."
Even if that woman came back, I wouldn't want her.
Captain Wan was furious. He snatched the feather duster from Wan Lin and smacked him on the arm. "Have you forgotten everything I just told you?"
Wan Lin lowered his head, somewhat impatiently, "I know, but I'm still very angry. Who knows what a woman might encounter outside? She might not be happy at all. If it weren't for the thought that it would be unacceptable for the family to be without a woman, and if it weren't for Third Uncle, neither you nor I would have let her come back."
At this point, Wan Lin looked at Wan Si. "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and tidy up your things, clean this room and the house properly, and then go catch a chicken to cook. Your third grandfather and I are going to have a good drink tonight."
Wan Si pointed to his face, "Dad, are you kidding me? I haven't cooked in years, how could I possibly cook well now?"
Wan Lin's expression changed again, and he glared at Wan Si with a ferocious look. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Wan Si chickened out and kept nodding, "I'll do it, I'll do it..."
Wan Si looked at the various kinds of garbage in the house with disgust, and began to clean up while enduring the nausea.
After getting ready, I went to catch chickens, but I accidentally fell on my bottom, ending up with chicken poop in my hand...
Wan Si felt wronged instantly and squatted down on the ground, bursting into tears.
She had never suffered such humiliation before. At school, she was a very popular person, but now, she was treated like one of those village girls, having to tidy up things and catch chickens. It was disgusting.
It was at this moment that Wan Lin's voice rang out.
"Wan Si, you better hurry up with your work. If you're even a little slow, you'll see what I do to you."
Wan Si was a little scared, stopped crying, and quickly got up to kill the chicken.
Having not worked for many years, I was too afraid to lift a finger and could only ask for help. As expected, I was scolded and hit several times.
Wan Si felt very wronged, extremely wronged. If only my mother were home, she wouldn't have to do these things.
She regretted coming back; she shouldn't have come back.
Wan Lin killed a chicken and asked Wan Si to cook. Wan Si was neither good at starting a fire nor at cooking. Wan Lin was furious and kicked him to the ground.
Kicked in the stomach, Wan Si curled up on the ground, unable to move. She reached out to grab her phone…
She wants to leave.
How could she possibly get her phone so easily?
He kicked her far away, glaring at her fiercely. "Wan Si, you need to understand one thing: I'm the one in charge in this family. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do it. Otherwise, don't even think about doing your internship or graduating."
Wan Si's eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard. "Dad, how could you do this? I'm your daughter. Instead of wanting me to be happy, you're thinking of ruining me?"
Trying to move a selfish person with truth, goodness, and beauty is the most foolish thing to do.
“You are my daughter. Since I gave birth to you, you should listen to me. You are the head of this family. What are children for? They are here to repay their parents' kindness. They are your benefactors.”
"If you don't behave, I won't just break your legs, I'll go to your school and tell your teachers about your unfilial behavior. I'll say things I don't even know myself. Do you think you have any future then?"
Wan Lin is a lazy, selfish man who will do anything as long as there is profit to be made.
She never imagined that one day she would be threatened by her own father, and she had no way to do anything about it.
"Dad, what exactly do you want? You weren't like this before."
In Wan Si's memory, her father hadn't gone that crazy.
