After Qin Huairu and Liu Guangqi obtained their marriage certificate, the Liu family members basically stopped showing up at the courtyard house, because they couldn't bear the shame.
Aside from the sounds of arguing and fighting, there were practically no other noises coming from the Liu family home. Liu Guangqi perfectly inherited Liu Haizhong's good character, and even continued to promote and amplify it.
Just thinking about how Qin Huairu had framed him made Qin Huairu want to beat her up. And it wouldn't have been so bad if it were just Qin Huairu being beaten; Liu Guangqi even started beating Qin Huairu's child.
Whenever Liu Guangqi was in a bad mood, he would take it out on Banggeng. Every time he hit Banggeng, it would jump up and down, finally understanding what it meant for a father's love to be as solid as a mountain.
Looking at the battered and bruised ram, Qin Huairu didn't dare to speak. Only Jia Zhangshi would call out from the side, but no one paid any attention to her.
Madam Jia didn't dare to stop Liu Guangqi. Given the Liu family's volatile temper, she didn't know if she would get beaten up if she went to stop him. Madam Jia always considered herself precious; why would she take such a risk?
Since Qin Huairu and Liu Guangqi got married, the courtyard house has been filled with joy. The Jia and Liu families are constantly bickering, which delights everyone.
Although Jia Zhangshi dared not approach Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi, she dared to approach others. Every day, Jia Zhangshi would exchange a few words with Liu Haizhong's wife, Gu Chunyan.
Whenever Jia Zhangshi dared to scold her, Gu Chunyan would take her anger out on the sisters with a stick. This angered Jia Zhangshi so much that she kept cursing in the courtyard.
The more fiercely Jia Zhangshi cursed, the harder Bang Geng and his gang were beaten. After a while, Bang Geng and his gang came to hate her completely, and Jia Zhangshi and the Liu family also harbored resentment towards Qin Huairu.
At this moment, Qin Huairu also regretted marrying Liu Guangqi. Although Jia Dongxu listened to his mother, he treated her well, but Liu Guangqi didn't care about her at all.
Qin Huairu never imagined the extent of the harm she had caused Liu Guangqi. What normal man would want to marry a woman with three children, especially one who was falsely accused of having children?
Liu Guangqi was originally the person with the best future prospects in the courtyard. However, Qin Huairu messed with him, causing him to receive a demerit, which had a significant impact on his future.
Now people at school are gossiping about Liu Guangqi. One female classmate who used to have a crush on him has stopped talking to him. After all, Liu Guangqi is married, and to a widow no less.
Even the simple-minded Zhu in the original story didn't want to marry Qin Huairu. If he hadn't been schemed against by the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, and hadn't been unable to find a wife even in his thirties, he probably wouldn't have married Qin Huairu.
Only Qin Huairu possessed a mysterious confidence, believing that everyone would pamper her. She even thought that even if she schemed against Liu Guangqi, he would still treat her well.
Who would have thought that after marrying Liu Guangqi, his family would treat her with such contempt and disrespect? Every night, Liu Guangqi would continue to torment her.
Thinking of the bruises and welts covering her body, Qin Huairu felt like crying. Seeing her son sobbing in the corner, she quickly went over. But as soon as she approached, Banggeng pushed her away.
"Get out of here right now! I don't need your fake pity. I don't have a mother as shameless as you. And I don't want a slut like you as my mother. I want to go back to the Jia family. I don't want to be a child of the Liu family."
Hearing Bang Geng's words, Qin Huairu felt a pang of heartache. But the marriage was already arranged; it wasn't as simple as just returning to the Jia family. She had paid such a high price; how could she not recoup her losses with interest?
"Bang Geng, stop making a fuss. If you behave, your stepfather won't hit you anymore, and he'll definitely treat you well from now on."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Banggeng, who was not yet eight years old, suddenly believed her.
"Mom, is it true that if I behave well from now on, I won't get beaten?"
"As long as you behave well from now on, no one will bully you, and Mom will protect you."
However, Qin Huairu lacked confidence after speaking. She simply couldn't control the Liu family father and son. Let alone control them, she couldn't even influence their decisions.
But in order to appease her son, Qin Huairu could only deceive herself like this. Less than five minutes had passed since Qin Huairu finished speaking.
Liu Guangqi, who had just been rejected by his crush, returned to the courtyard house. As soon as he got back, he went to Qin Huairu's side and slapped her across the face several times.
The people who had just returned immediately went to the backyard and saw Liu Guangqi beating the heavily pregnant Qin Huairu. Everyone stood aside, and no one interfered in the couple's messy affair.
Wei Hua had already helped his wife to the side. To avoid affecting his wife, Wei Hua deliberately stood far away from Yang Tao, silently watching Qin Huairu.
Wei Hua felt that this was the kind of life Qin Huairu should be living. Only by making Qin Huairu get beaten up every day could the anger of the vast number of book fans be appeased.
When the fight got exciting, Wei Hua would cheer for Liu Guangqi. Qin Huairu, who was being beaten, could only protect her stomach, and Liu Guangqi could beat her however he wanted.
Fortunately, Liu Guangqi still had some sense of propriety; pregnant women are always protected. If he were to seriously harm Qin Huairu's unborn child, his career as a vocational school graduate would likely be over.
The most formidable skill among those with the shrewdness of Liu Hai wasn't blacksmithing, but rather his martial arts prowess. As Liu Hai's son, Liu Guangqi had mastered its essence. After all, having observed for so many years, he naturally knew some of the techniques.
The thought of his female classmate leaving him like this filled Liu Guangqi with murderous intent. Not satisfied with just hitting her, he ran into the kitchen, grabbed a rolling pin, and slapped Qin Huairu several times.
The crisp sound was very satisfying for everyone, and those who had grudges against Qin Huairu applauded and cheered. Liu Guangqi himself also felt that his technique was quite good, somewhat reminiscent of his father's.
Wanting to try out his father's signature move, Liu Guangqi grabbed a rolling pin and began to beat Qin Huairu mercilessly on her limbs. No matter how much Qin Huairu begged for mercy, Liu Guangqi didn't stop.
Liu Guangqi only let Qin Huairu go when she was covered in blood. Then he turned to look at the cute little Bang Geng.
Banggeng, startled by Liu Guangqi's glance, trembled all over. His first instinct was to run out of the yard, but how could a seven or eight-year-old child outrun an adult?
As soon as he arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, Bang Geng was caught by Liu Guangqi.
"Kid, blame your shameless mother. If she hadn't schemed against me, you wouldn't be in this state now."
After Liu Guangqi finished speaking, he threw the rolling pin away. He kicked the rolling pin against the wall and then started hitting it with a rolling pin.
No matter how much Banggeng begged for mercy, Liu Guangqi didn't react at all, even when Banggeng knelt on the ground begging. Seeing Liu Guangqi beating his grandson like this, Jia Zhangshi immediately rushed out.
Jia Zhangshi knew she was no match for Liu Guangqi. Her plan was a sneak attack; she planned to headbutt him while he wasn't looking. However, Liu Guangqi was prepared. Seeing Jia Zhangshi charging at him with her head down, he dodged slightly and deliberately kicked the stick in the spot where he had just been standing. With a loud thud, the stick-wielding man passed out.
Jia Zhangshi thought she had bumped into Liu Guangqi and was about to give him a good mocking look. But she saw Liu Guangqi standing next to her, holding a rolling pin and grinning at her.
Even if she were incredibly foolish, Jia Zhangshi would know that she must have bumped into her eldest grandson.
Seeing her eldest grandson, whose face she had injured in the collision, completely mangled, tears immediately streamed down Jia Zhangshi's face. Banggeng was Jia Zhangshi's last hope in life. If Banggeng were crippled, no one would care for her in her old age. Even though Jia Zhangshi only loved herself, her love for Banggeng was genuine.
"Jia Zhangshi, didn't you always say that you loved your eldest grandson the most? I never thought you would actually try to kill him. It seems that his face is basically ruined. I wonder what will happen when Bang Geng finds out that his grandmother has ruined his face."
Upon hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Jia Zhangshi charged at him again. At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was like a maddened wild beast. Regardless of whether she was a match for Liu Guangqi, she still charged forward. But the final result was the same as Qin Huairu's: she was beaten and sent running around in all directions by Liu Guangqi.
