When Li Yunshu heard his father ask Lin Yongnian this, his nose felt sore and he turned away with red eyes.
She had asked these questions many times while looking at the moon outside the window in the late nights when she was crying secretly after being beaten.
Lin Yongnian's hands, which were holding onto the table, were shaking constantly. Li Shuping's father's voice was very soft and not fierce when he asked him these questions, but he felt even more terrified.
In this cold winter, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
In the past, he would beat Li Shuping whenever he felt like it, without any scruples, and he never felt any guilt, or even that he had done anything wrong.
When the children grew up and his temper became calmer, he stopped doing it.
But now, facing the questioning of her family, he felt extremely guilty, his brain short-circuited, and even his mouth was open.
Seeing him talking, Mr. Li asked, "Are these questions difficult to answer?"
"Clang..."
Lin Yongnian supported himself with his hands and sat down on the bed, knocking over the stool next to him.
He frantically straightened the stool, held onto the table and tried to stand up, but his legs were so weak that his knees knocked against the table several times.
It was Xiao Xu who looked over and reached out to help him up, allowing him to stand up again.
Li Yunshu looked at Lin Yongnian, who was so shocked by her father that she could hardly stand, and thought to herself, if her father had supported her the first time she was beaten, Lin Yongnian would definitely not dare to hit her again.
But at that time, there was no one behind her.
Old Master Li reached out his hand, patted Lin Yongnian on the shoulder and said, "You are indeed just a softie who hits women. My daughter is absolutely right."
When facing Shushu, he acted so righteous and confident when he beat people up, but when facing himself, he couldn't even fart.
Mr. Li's grip wasn't very strong, but Lin Yongnian's shoulders tilted, his knees bent, and he almost fell again.
Lin Yongnian lowered his head in embarrassment, and he hated himself for being so useless.
He wanted to say that fighting between husband and wife was normal and that many men beat their wives. However, his daughter, over a trivial matter, caused a huge disturbance in the family, abandoned her husband and children, and divorced him.
But his neck seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and he felt his tongue was frozen before he could say a word.
"Uncle Li, please sit down."
Gu Zhenyuan put the stool behind Mr. Li.
Old Master Li sat down, his hands on his thighs, looking down at Lin Yongnian and saying, "Before our daughter went missing, she was the apple of our family's eye. No one in our family had ever touched her."
"You were a soldier who devoted himself to the revolution. To defend the country and drive the Japanese out of our country, he fought bloody battles on the battlefield and killed countless enemies."
"Countless soldiers worked together to drive out the Japanese invaders, liberate the country, and defend the country and its people, but they failed to protect their own daughter."
"My daughter was lost while escaping from the enemy's pursuit of my family. In the years since I found her, she has suffered, been plotted against, and even been bullied by you, a bastard."
Mr. Li's words were so heartbreaking that Wang Mei's eyes turned red. It was really heartbreaking.
Li Yunshu even turned her face away and wiped her tears with her hands. She wiped her tears with her hands, but the tears would not dry up.
Suddenly, a clean plaid handkerchief appeared in front of her. When she looked up, she met Gu Zhenyuan's distressed eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, then choked up and said, "Thank you."
Then he took the handkerchief, wiped his tears and blew his nose.
"I'll wash it clean and give it back to you." She said to Gu Zhenyuan.
When Lin Yongnian heard these words, he actually felt a rare sense of guilt.
Li Shuping is a descendant of revolutionary soldiers who defended their country, but he bullied her because she had no family support and beat her for so many years.
He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke stutteringly: "Yes, yes, she was wrong. She deserves to be beaten."
"Heh..." Li Yunshu sneered. It turned out that Lin Yongnian would also take the initiative to admit that he was wrong.
"What did you say?" Old Master Li looked at Lin Yongnian and asked. "Old man, you are old, please listen carefully."
Lin Yongnian's voice was still trembling as he said, "Yes, she was wrong. She deserves to be beaten."
This time his voice was a bit louder.
Mr. Li nodded, looked at Gu Zhenyuan and asked, "Zhenyuan, what should I do if I do something wrong?"
Gu Zhenyuan looked at Lin Yongnian with disgust and said, "Apologize."
"Then you should apologize to your daughter." Old Master Li looked at Lin Yongnian and said.
Lin Yongnian gritted his teeth and lowered his head to apologize to Li Yunshu, "I'm sorry, I should have beaten you before."
Li Yunshu felt nothing when he heard the apology that was delayed for so many years.
"I will say it's okay, because I can't forgive the palms and fists that fell on me."
"Lin Yongnian, those punches that hit you today must have hurt a lot, right?" Li Yunshu looked at Lin Yongnian and asked.
“…” Lin Yongnian trembled with his lips but did not speak.
The punches really hurt when they landed on her body, and her strength increased.
Waiting for his answer, he said directly, "The slaps and fists you give to Xiao and Xiao will hurt less than the one you gave you today!"
Lin Yongnian: “…”
The mediation room was silent for a moment, and it was Old Man Li who broke the silence first. "I had a preliminary understanding of what happened today before I came here. It was you, Lin Yongnian, who went to the school to find your granddaughter, Li Xiao, and asked her to change her surname. When she disagreed, you scolded her, beat her, and even threatened to forcibly take her away from school and expel her. That's why your daughter Shushu went to your factory and beat you, right?"
"More than that." Li Yunshu said, "Once a boy spoke up for Xiao, and he said that was the boy Xiao hooked up with at school. In front of so many people at school, he scolded Xiao for having no shame and called her a female hooligan."
Hearing this, Mr. Li looked at Lin Yongnian with a slightly colder look.
Lin Yongnian whispered, "Maybe 놖 has misunderstood, but little 냫 is 놖's daughter."
Mr. Li said, "We'll talk about this later."
Lin Yongnian: “…”
Yes, why should he talk about the fact that Xiao 냫 is his daughter later?
"So what do you want now?" Old Master Li looked at Lin Yongnian and asked.
Lin Yongnian lowered his head. What did he want?
He initially wanted to have Li Shuping detained at the Public Security Bureau for a few days, but now he also knew what he wanted to do. What else could he do?
Seeing Lin Yongnian talking, Wang Mei said, "He wanted Li Yunshuzhi to compensate him for 500 yuan for medical expenses, but Li Yunshuzhi refused and was only willing to give 20 yuan."
Hearing this, Gu Zhenyuan looked at Lin Yongnian with a serious face and said, "You only suffered a little skin injury, not even a minor injury, and you still want 500 yuan for medical expenses. You are suspected of blackmail!"
