The group of people outside, who were busy at work, were startled by the loud shout.
Xiao Weiguo, in particular, was so frightened by the shout that his legs trembled.
What's wrong with the old man? Why is he so angry?
He didn't dare to stop and quickly ran over, pushing open Xiao Jiang's room door to take a look.
Liu Ye was crying in her father's arms when she suddenly understood a few things.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it. He still didn't understand why Liu Ye was acting this way.
Liu Erzhu pushed Liu Ye away from his arms, making her stand aside, and beckoned to Xiao Weiguo with his finger.
"Hey kid, come here, Daddy has something to tell you!"
The expression on his face was a half-smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched incessantly, making Xiao Weiguo's heart pound even harder.
"Ah, haha, let's talk this over. I have something else to attend to."
Xiao Weiguo chuckled as he backed away.
This old guy is clearly acting strangely; only a fool would go over there. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. It's not too late to confront him after we figure out what's going on.
Xiao Weiguo turned to run, but Liu Erzhu wasn't about to let him go.
"You scoundrel, where do you think you're going?"
Liu Erzhu darted out of the room in one step and kicked Xiao Weiguo in the buttocks.
Despite being over forty years old, he is still incredibly agile.
Caught off guard, Xiao Weiguo received a solid kick to the buttocks, causing him to involuntarily lurch forward and fall face-first to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Ignoring the pain in his buttocks, Xiao Weiguo tried to get up and keep running, but Liu Erzhu had already rushed up and landed on top of him.
It looks like the scene of beating up He Shuang that day is about to be repeated.
Liu Ye, however, was not happy about it.
She didn't expect her father to act so suddenly; before she could even react, he was already on top of Xiao Weiguo.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Liu Ye let out a miserable scream and rushed forward like a madwoman, grabbing Liu Erzhu's arm to stop him from whipping Xiao Weiguo.
Liu Erzhu was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he didn't dare to struggle too hard.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Weiguo broke free from under him and hid behind Liu Ye.
"Dad, how old are you? Why are you hitting people? What if you hurt them?"
Liu Ye cried and stomped her feet at her father. She also spread her hands to protect Xiao Weiguo behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, afraid that the old man would continue to hit her.
Liu Erzhu was completely dumbfounded.
Didn't you say that Xiao Weiguo had a woman outside and bullied you?
Can't you tell that I'm standing up for you?
I haven't even started hitting him yet, I just kicked him once, and this is it. If I really beat this kid like I did He Shuang back then, would you disown me as your father?
At this moment, Grandma, Shanshan, Xiaojiang, and Xiaoyue all heard the commotion and ran out of the room.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Grandma stood on her tiptoes and kept talking.
"You're such a grown man, why are you still holding a grudge? Can't you talk things out properly?"
Xiao Shanshan pulled Liu Ye to wipe away her tears.
"Sister Liuye, did your dad bully you?"
Xiao Yue stood far away, afraid that they would start fighting again, and dared not come over.
Xiao Jiang, seeing the dust on his elder brother, assumed he had been wronged and kicked Liu Erzhu.
Fortunately, Xiao Weiguo reacted quickly, grabbing his clothes from behind and pulling him away.
If that kick actually lands, where will Liu Erzhu put his face? Won't he have to continue dealing with himself?
Liu Erzhu was so angry that his lips trembled.
Normally, a father-in-law would stand up for his daughter and beat up his son-in-law with a clear conscience. Is this normal procedure in your family? Why am I the only outsider after all this fuss?
Especially this silly daughter, who betrayed him at the last minute and put her father in a difficult position.
"Alright, alright, you're family, it's all my fault, okay?"
Liu Erzhu felt like his stomach was about to explode.
Whatever, I'm not going to care anymore.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
Xiao Weiguo knew that if he really let him leave, he would have to explain it to him when he got back to the factory, which would be even more troublesome.
She jumped out immediately and grabbed his arm.
"Dad, don't be angry. I really don't understand what's going on. Let me ask Liu Ye properly, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erzhu stopped in his tracks, and Xiao Weiguo quickly pulled Liu Ye into his room.
There are too many outsiders to ask about matters between a couple.
Liu Ye was pulled by his little hand and reluctantly entered the room.
Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, Xiao Weiguo felt both annoyed and amused.
With a tender heart, Xiao Weiguo gently wiped away her tears and asked softly.
"Liu Ye, what's wrong with you? I really didn't do anything to wrong you."
Liu Ye pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and threw it hard at Xiao Weiguo.
The crumpled paper bounced off Xiao Weiguo's chest and fell to the ground. Xiao Weiguo picked it up from the ground with a suspicious look on his face.
Unfold the crumpled paper and see—isn't this the song we sang during the New Year's Eve dinner? Judging from the handwriting, it must have been written by my younger sister.
Xiao Weiguo read the song again carefully and finally understood why Liu Ye was angry.
At the time, I was just trying to show off; I didn't think about all that.
They say that showing off will get you struck by lightning, and it's true.
Now that's a problem, how do I explain it?
"What else do you have to say? Dare to say this wasn't written for that woman?"
With red eyes, Liu Ye questioned Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo held the paper and gave a bitter smile.
This can't really be entirely blamed on Liu Ye; those few sentences in the middle are clearly not written for her.
