Before Zhao Ni could even go to find her uncle and aunt, she could hear her aunt cursing from afar.
"Zhao Ni, you good-for-nothing, you shameless wretch, how dare you hit my son! Get out here and kneel down to apologize to my son..."
Aunt Zhao stormed over with her son, seething with anger.
Her husband and several other people followed behind.
Upon seeing Zhao Ni, Aunt Zhao swung her hand and slapped Zhao Ni across the face.
"You've only been away for a few years and you've become so arrogant? Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your grandma..."
Zhao Ni took a few steps back, avoiding Aunt Zhao's slap.
Seeing that she had missed, Aunt Zhao became even angrier and reached out to hit Zhao Ni again.
Aunt Zhao tried several times but failed to hit Zhao Ni, which made her furious and she started cursing.
"You wretched woman, you good-for-nothing! Your elders are beating you, and you dare to dodge! If it weren't for the Zhao family, would you still be alive? Your grandmother is gone, so I am your elder, and I have the right to beat you and teach you a lesson... so you won't tarnish the reputation of the Zhao family..."
Many villagers gathered around to watch.
Many people in the village know that Zhao Ni was adopted.
"Auntie, if you keep doing this, don't blame me for fighting back."
"You're fighting back?"
Aunt Zhao stopped and looked at Zhao Ni with a look of disgust.
"Come on, if you dare hit me, I'll change my surname to yours! You ungrateful wretch, you heartless bastard..."
Another round of extremely harsh insults followed.
Zhao Ni had heard this kind of scolding countless times. When she was little, she was often beaten by Aunt Zhao. When her grandmother found out, she would immediately protect her because she had quarreled with her aunt many times.
Later, when she was in school, her aunt came to her grandmother's house several times to search for money, trying to steal it and prevent her from paying her tuition.
Grandma always hid the money in different places, afraid that her aunt would steal it when they weren't home.
Back then, if it weren't for her great-uncle, who was still alive and could keep her uncle and aunt in check, she and her grandmother would have had an even harder time.
Thinking of her great-uncle, Zhao Ni missed him even more. She planned to buy some things to take to her great-uncle's house after paying respects to her grandmother.
My great-uncle's family wasn't well-off either, but he still lent my grandmother money. Every time he came to visit, he would give her candy and teach her to study hard, saying that only by studying hard could she have a better life in the future...
Grandma also told her the same thing.
Zhao Ni snapped out of her daze and looked at her aunt.
"Shut up."
Zhao Ni's shout startled her aunt, who stared blankly at Zhao Ni.
“You’re not keeping a close eye on Zhao Dabao. He’s become a hooligan. Today he was harassing a woman in town. If the police find out, they’ll definitely arrest him.”
Upon hearing Zhao Ni say that her son had harassed a female comrade, Aunt Zhao immediately denied it.
"You're talking nonsense. My son is such a good person, and our family is so well-off now, how could he possibly harass women? It must be those sluts who are eager to please my son..."
In Aunt Zhao's mind, her son was the best he could ever be; he would never flirt with women. It was the women who were eager to marry him.
Hearing this, Zhao Ni laughed in anger.
This aunt had a strange kind of faith in her son, Zhao Dabao. Zhao Dabao was 168 cm tall and weighed at least 180 kg. He was both fat and short, but they thought everyone would like him.
I had been thinking of arranging a blind date for Zhao Dabao, but none of the matchmakers dared to take on the task.
