Seeing her son being beaten, she cried out, "Son, my son, you are suffering." She seemed to be more heartbroken than if she were beaten herself, and she wished she could take the beating for her son.
"Chengcai, you two stay away and don't come over. Hide and don't get beaten by them." Old Lady Xia was just overthinking it. These two ungrateful little bastards had already hidden themselves. It was obviously their relatives who were beaten, but the result seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Normally, Old Lady Xia and Old Man Xia were so nice to them, but when they saw them being beaten, they didn't feel any pity and didn't come forward to help, as if the person being beaten was a stranger they didn't know.
The person that Old Lady Xia loved the most was beaten the worst. Father Xia and Uncle Xia were used to doing farm work and had a lot of brute force.
Ever since hearing how Xia Jin was treated by their family, Xia's father had been furious. When he came here and saw Xia Jianguo dressed in a respectable manner, and remembered how they treated his daughter, Xia's father's anger finally exploded, and he pressed Xia Jianguo down and started beating him.
He was beaten so hard that he cried for help. Although most of the blame was on Liu Xiu, he was a grown man and couldn't just hit a woman, so he had to turn his hands on Liu Xiu's new husband.
Husband and wife are one, and it is normal in rural areas for the husband to take the blame when the woman causes trouble. Moreover, Xia's father would not believe that this person had not instigated this incident, so Xia Jianguo was not wronged at all for being beaten, he deserved it.
After the fight, Mr. Xia stood in the middle of the crowd and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone today. We had no choice but to do this."
"The Xia family is a bunch of worse than animals. They took our money and didn't treat our children well."
"My son doesn't want to eat or wear anything every year. He works so hard to earn so little money, and he sends it all to that vicious woman Liu Xiu. We have no other requests, we just hope they can treat our granddaughter well."
"They took our child for money and used him as a servant. To prevent us from discovering this, the vicious woman Liu Xiu even threatened us and refused to let us see the child."
"They said we were here to visit the child and they wouldn't let him go to school. My son is just a poor peasant with no skills and is honest. That's why he was so fooled by Liu Xiu, the vicious woman."
"If the child hadn't come looking for us, we wouldn't have known that he had suffered so much here."
"We have pity on our child. When Liu Xiu, that vicious woman, divorced us, she insisted on taking the child away from us. We thought that after all, she was the child's mother, so we couldn't do anything bad to her."
"I hate that. I hate myself back then. I believed what that vicious woman Liu Xiu said and let her take our granddaughter away. She's been gone for over ten years now, and every New Year she'll write us a letter asking for money."
"She threatened us with the child, so we had no choice but to give him money, thinking that money would make him treat the child better."
"It turns out that this vicious woman is worse than a beast. And her new husband's family are all beasts. How could they treat a child like that?"
"In order to prevent people from not believing it, we have brought along the annual remittance slips and the letter written by Liu Xiu. Anyone who doesn't believe it can take a look."
"Let's take a good look at what kind of people this family is. They have no conscience and no conscience."
When Xia Jin heard this, he quickly took out the remittance slip from his pocket and handed it to Grandpa Xia. Grandpa Xia took out a stack of letters from his pocket and held them up for everyone to see.
There was actually someone who was curious enough to come forward and take a look. Grandpa Xia was afraid that they couldn't see clearly, so he opened the pictures one by one and showed them to her.
After watching it, those people returned to the crowd and said:
"This Xia family is really inhuman. Every single amount on that bill is money. From the initial sixty or seventy to the current two or three hundred, they haven't missed a year."
"And those letters start by asking for money. He might be afraid that they won't give it, so he threatens them with Xia Jin. Besides asking for money, he also threatens them not to come and see his daughter."
"The whole story is just this, nothing else. It looks like someone who usually acts like a decent person is doing things worse than a dog."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the daughter-in-law of the Xia family usually seems quite kind, how could she write something like that?"
Grandpa Xia continued, "My granddaughter was kicked out of the house when she was eighteen. They clearly no longer want to support her, but they still wrote to us asking for money."
"They had the heart to kick my granddaughter out while she was still in school. It would have been fine if they had just kicked her out, but they also forced her to sign a pension agreement for 100 yuan a year."
"After much difficulty, our Xiaojin finally became successful and opened a shop. They watched Xiaojin's shop flourish and set their sights on my granddaughter's shop."
"They tried every possible means to seize my granddaughter's shop. When she disagreed, they even went to her shop and made trouble. They made it so that my granddaughter couldn't continue her business."
"What a miserable life! She has such a mother and a bunch of family members who are worse than pigs and dogs. My granddaughter has a miserable life."
"Everyone, come and judge for yourself. Their family is already in this state. Shouldn't we seek justice? If we don't come, they don't know how to bully my granddaughter."
The crowd was in an uproar when they heard that Liu Xiu and the others wanted to take over Xia Jin's shops. Anyone could see how valuable Xia Jin's shops were. The Xia family was too shameless.
When they kicked her out, she was penniless and had to go to school and set up a stall at the same time. It was so tiring. At that time, Liu Xiu didn't even offer a hand or lend a hand to her.
Now that he's rich and successful, you want to take advantage of him. How shameless! If you want to take advantage of him, why don't you be nicer to him? If not, just ask about his well-being, at least say something nice.
But you're still so arrogant, going to someone else's store to cause trouble, making their business unable to continue. Isn't this nonsense? If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't be nice to them either.
Everyone in the crowd said indignantly:
"It would be a good thing if I didn't demolish their house."
"If my children had been wronged like this, I would have beaten them to the ground."
“Yes, they all did that, and they should be taught a lesson.
"I'll stand at their factory gate and shout my words to see if they can still keep their jobs there."
"Blocking their doorsteps makes them afraid to go out."
"Old man, we support you. People like this deserve a lesson. After doing something like this, a beating won't do. We suggest you come a few more times. As soon as their injuries heal, you beat them up. Beat them up as soon as they heal. That would be so satisfying."
