Unable to reason with each other, the two started fighting without any politeness, intending to beat Fang Qing into submission just like when they were children, so that she would obey them.
Fang Qing, who was caught off guard, never expected that even though she was already so old, and in the place where she had been sent to work in the countryside, her parents would still dare to lay a hand on her.
So she was naturally at a disadvantage for a while, and Fang's parents pinned her to the ground and beat her so badly that she had no chance to fight back.
When the educated youth from the educated youth compound heard the commotion and rushed over, Fang Qing's originally pretty face had been beaten until it was covered in bruises and blood, a truly pitiful sight.
Several male educated youths worked together to pull Fang Qing's parents away. Having suffered a great loss, Fang Qing decided to go all out and completely disregarded the feelings of her husband and wife. In front of everyone, she revealed the purpose of their visit.
She focused on the situation of Director Lin, saying that he was a widower who had lost three wives.
What's even more despicable is that, in order to marry a young and beautiful wife, he didn't hesitate to marry his sixteen-year-old daughter to her mentally challenged younger brother.
Fang Qing's tone was filled with anger and despair; her voice trembled as if every word carried endless pain.
She kept emphasizing that if she were really forced to marry someone like Director Lin, she would rather die than submit.
However, Fang Qing's parents showed no pity. They were not softened by their daughter's desperate tone. Instead, they became even more ruthless because Fang Qing had exposed their true intentions.
They decided to go all out and, in front of everyone, openly demanded that Fang Qing go back with them and marry that Director Lin.
“We have already received two hundred yuan in betrothal gifts from Director Lin. You are the daughter we have raised for more than ten years, a member of the Fang family, so you must do your part for this family!”
Fang Qing's parents shouted aggressively, their faces filled with greed and selfishness.
Looking at her parents, Fang Qing felt a deep sense of despair and helplessness.
She couldn't believe that her own parents would ruin her happiness for a mere two hundred yuan.
At this moment, Fang Qing truly felt despair, even more so than when she saw that the person she was trying to save in the water was not Gao Hongyuan, whom she longed for.
Her eyes were empty and confused, tears blurred her vision. She didn't know how to face this cruel reality, and could only helplessly hide in Liu Shumei's arms and silently shed tears.
Seeing Fang Qing like this makes one feel heartbroken for her.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the Fang couple, pointing and whispering among themselves.
Although Fang Qing emphasized Director Lin's actions throughout her account, without uttering a single word of criticism against the Fang couple, everyone knew in their hearts that parents who would force their soon-to-be-married daughter to break off her engagement and remarry just so their mentally challenged son could get married couldn't possibly be good people.
