"I, I, I..."
Under Shen Youde's stern questioning, Shen Zhao immediately lowered his head, stammering and not daring to speak or argue.
Because back then, he did indeed climb over the wall to peep at Widow Zhang while she was bathing.
Then Widow Zhang caught him red-handed.
He was severely beaten by the people called by Widow Zhang.
Originally, the village planned to send him to the joint defense team. It was Lin Jianguo and Zhan Xiufang who knelt down and begged the villagers of Haiwan Village, and even gave away their old sow to Widow Zhang.
Only then did he receive Zhang the widow's forgiveness.
This allowed Shen Zhao to escape a calamity.
So if it weren't for Lin Jianguo and Zhan Xiufang's desperate pleas back then, Shen Zhao wouldn't be executed as a hooligan now.
He's probably in prison now, undergoing labor reform.
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
"You shameful, worthless bastard, how could I have given birth to such an idiot son?"
"In what way do you compare to Lin Sen?"
"Smack!"
Enraged, Shen Youde slapped Shen Zhao hard once again.
He originally intended to match Shen Zhao and Song Xiaoxue, and even prepared to bring gifts to the Song family to propose marriage.
But now, Shen Zhao has actually caused such a mess.
That means there's absolutely no chance now.
How could Song Xiaoxue's parents possibly let their daughter marry someone of such low character?
You should know that Song Xiaoxue is an only child.
The Song family's future assets will all belong to their son-in-law.
Therefore, Song Xiaoxue's parents would obviously choose a son-in-law with good character!
This completely thwarted his original plan to leverage the Song family's connections and wealth to expand production in Linhai County, and even to open new factories in the city and province.
So how could he not be angry?
"You useless piece of trash!"
Enraged, Shen Youde once again raised his hand, ready to beat Shen Zhao.
"Shen Youde, stop right now."
"If you want to hit your son again, hit me first."
"Come on, hit me."
"Shoot hard here!"
At this moment, Li Guihua suddenly rushed over, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and directly spread her arms to firmly block Shen Zhao in front of her.
She glared angrily at Shen Youde: "Shen Youde, you heartless bastard."
"Xiao Zhao suffered so much over the years, so he was a bit mischievous when he was young, so what?"
"Now that it's changed, isn't that enough!?"
Li Guihua roared, "Didn't you secretly watch widows, young wives, and young girls bathing when you were young?"
"What kind of people are you men?"
"You think I don't know?"
"You think I didn't hear about your affair with the female accountant at the factory?"
"I can't be bothered with you!"
Li Guihua sneered: "As long as you can make money and run the factory well, I won't say anything if you secretly play around with women in your spare time."
"I, I..."
Shen Youde's face immediately stiffened.
It was incredibly awkward.
Actually, he didn't hate Shen Zhao for peeping at Widow Zhang while she was bathing.
After all, it's perfectly normal for young men in their adolescence to be interested in women's bodies and to peek at them while they're showering.
He made the same mistake when he was young.
Sometimes, when young women and wives went to pee in the cornfield, he liked to hide and peek at their big white buttocks.
That's normal.
Any man would do something like that.
What angered Shen Zhao was that Shen Zhao had done such a thing, yet he had been caught.
Then, unable to properly handle the aftermath, Lin Sen publicly revealed it, causing him to lose any further opportunities to pursue Song Xiaoxue.
This caused his plan to use the Song family's new factory to fail.
That's what made him most angry!
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
"If you're angry, take it out on me, hit me."
"Come on, hit me."
"Go ahead and fight!"
As she spoke, Li Guihua, who was protecting Shen Zhao behind her, moved her face close to Shen Youde's. She even took Shen Youde's hand and pretended that he was slapping her.
"Wife, please don't do this."
"well."
Shen Youde was too embarrassed to hit Li Guihua, so he could only sigh bitterly and look at her speechlessly: "You're such a spoiled mother."
"If you don't let me discipline him now, what will happen when he makes even bigger mistakes later?"
"It's too late for us to discipline them now!"
Shen Youde sighed.
“This isn’t how you discipline someone, and you can’t be too harsh.”
“Look, your dad’s face is all bruised and purple from being beaten by my son.”
Li Guihua felt incredibly heartbroken as she touched the slap mark on Shen Zhao's face: "He's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. You don't feel sorry for him, but I do!"
"Mom, I'm fine."
"I did make a mistake."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhao suppressed her anger and looked at Shen Youde: "Dad, I will go to Xiaoxue tomorrow and explain and apologize to her."
"I will definitely learn from this experience and never do such a thing again, you can rest assured."
"well."
"never mind."
Looking at Shen Zhao, whose face bore bruises and handprints, Shen Youde felt a pang of heartache as his anger subsided.
Shen Zhao is, after all, his own son; blood is thicker than water.
Furthermore, Shen Zhao endured twenty years of hardship and suffering in the remote and impoverished village of Haiwan.
For the past twenty years, he has neither taught nor cared for Shen Zhao.
Therefore, it cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Zhao for making some foolish mistakes.
He was also at fault!
"Be more careful next time."
