That means the so-called hot-tempered second son of the Zhao family is just a smooth talker, not worth taking seriously.
But for some reason, the moment they met again, seeing the other person's murderous gaze, a sense of fear suddenly rose in his heart.
"Sun Tiezhu, you son of a bitch, how dare you hit my older sister?"
"You think the Zhao family has no one to back me up? I'll kill you today, or I'll change my surname to yours!"
Zhao Lao Er grabbed the carrying pole used for transporting cloth and charged over with a roar.
Sun Tiezhu, who was in the middle of beating his wife and children, twitched his eyelids when he saw this scene.
Especially when he saw the second brother rushing over like a human beast, ready to kill, Sun Tiezhu was so frightened that he immediately ran into the house and slammed the door shut.
"Sun Tiezhu, you son of a bitch, don't you dare run away! Today I'll show you what happens when you hit someone from the Zhao family!"
Zhao Jianjun, having failed to hit anyone, became even more irritable, his eyes filled with even more anger.
The third brother, Zhao Jianhua, quickly walked to his eldest sister's side and reached out to help her up.
Unexpectedly, with just a gentle pull, the other person was lifted up.
He was so light that it gave the illusion that he was pulling a child.
This woman is more than just skin and bones! She's practically hollow inside.
Zhao Jianhua, a grown man, immediately had tears in his eyes. This was his older sister who had watched him grow up since he was a child, and she had actually suffered such a fate in the Sun family.
"Big sister, how long has this been going on? Why haven't you come home to tell us all these years?"
Zhao Jianhua's voice choked with emotion, and he couldn't help but wipe his wet eyes.
“Although our Zhao family is not a wealthy family, we certainly won’t stand idly by while our family members are being beaten.”
Although their father's behavior only changed recently, his concern for saving face has never changed.
If my eldest sister runs back to her parents' home and says she was beaten, and her in-laws even curse her father as an old, degenerate dog, her father will definitely lead them to beat her up.
Even if it weren't for his daughter's happiness, he would still help her get revenge just to save face.
Zhao Chunhua first picked up her daughter from the ground and patted the dirt off her body before raising her arm to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth with the patched sleeve of her now faded clothes.
She forced a smile, her lips curving upwards, as if nothing had happened and it was all their imagination.
“Third brother, life at home is not easy either. I am a married woman and cannot help you. I cannot go back and cause you trouble.”
She was the eldest daughter in her family, and she watched all her younger siblings grow up.
These days, life isn't easy for any family, and she knew her father's temperament and personality all too well.
If she really went back to her parents' home for help, it wouldn't be her miserly father or her youngest, the pampered college student, who would offer money or effort. In the end, it would definitely be her younger brothers who suffer. How could she bear to do that?
Zhao Jianhua felt a lump in his throat. Seeing his second brother frantically banging on the door of his eldest sister's room with a carrying pole, and knowing that the man inside wouldn't come out after so long, he knew that the man inside wouldn't come out.
You can't really smash someone's door open with a carrying pole, can you?
If they really smashed it open, they would beat up their brother-in-law to vent their anger, then leave, leaving the eldest sister to bear the brunt of his wrath.
The cost of repairing the door and the work of cutting and shaping wood brought back from the mountain both fell on the eldest sister's shoulders.
Looking at the dilapidated courtyard, the low thatched hut, and the little girl in the eldest sister's arms, Zhao Jianhua already had an idea in mind.
Rather than letting the eldest sister and children stay in the Sun family and suffer even greater hardships, it's better to take them away from here.
This kind of life is over. Whoever has ever loved can live their life now!
Zhao Jianhua had his own reasons for doing this.
If this happened to someone else, they probably wouldn't have much recourse against this kind of domestic violence.
Coupled with the idea that it's better to avoid trouble, they might say a few nice words to the other party, restrain themselves from hitting anyone too many times, and let it go so that no one gets seriously injured.
Once her family leaves, the woman will definitely fall back into her original situation.
But the Zhao family is different now.
He has a powerful father who can be on friendly terms with the police.
City dwellers may not be afraid of the police, but honest, hardworking people who have spent their entire lives toiling in the village are.
Now that the family's financial situation has improved since they started selling fabric, it's just a matter of having a few more chopsticks when my older sister comes home. I'm sure my father will agree to let me bring my older sister and the children home.
At worst, we'll just eat less meat. Anyway, we got through the days when we didn't have meat.
Even if all else fails, I can still sell fabric to earn money to support my older sister!
...
I heard a commotion from a few people.
Soon, representatives from the families of the men in Sunjia Village who were busy working in the fields all came out to watch the commotion from the entrance of the courtyard. Naturally, they all noticed the two brothers in the courtyard with completely opposite emotions.
There are similarities, such as the resentment that is heavier than that of a ghost.
Seeing this scene before them, and recalling what they had heard and seen before, how could the villagers not know what had happened?
They must have been unable to keep it a secret, and the two Zhao brothers discovered that Sun Tiezhu was beating their older sister and the little girl, which is why they were so angry and started to smash the door.
"Sigh, I knew that Tie Zhu would get into trouble sooner or later if he kept beating his wife and kids like that. Now his brothers-in-law have found out and they're going to beat him to a pulp to vent their anger!"
"If you ask me, it's just beating your wife and kids, what's the big deal? The Zhao brothers are going too far. Anyone who didn't know better would think someone had died!"
"What's the big deal? Er Gouzi, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. You're the one who beats his wife! If you had any sisters or brothers, they'd be beaten to a pulp every day after they got married, and you still say it's nothing? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
"Second Aunt, please don't hit me! I was wrong, I was wrong!"
...
The people gathered outside the courtyard wall immediately started talking all at once, saying all sorts of things.
Looking inside the wall and then outside, it's really lively today.
It's a pity they only have one pair of eyes, and they're shaking their heads so much they can't see everything.
However, most people's attitude is that it's better to avoid trouble. Couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed, so it's not a big deal.
Zhao Lao Er was even angrier when he heard this. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what his father had said to his older brother when he saw his sister-in-law being abused.
Why does he think that makes so much sense?
But in the current situation, he couldn't change everyone's minds by himself. He exchanged a glance with the third brother; clearly, they were thinking the same thing.
Today, I absolutely have to get my older sister and her two children away from this miserable home!
Thinking this through, Zhao Lao Er tried to calm himself down, pondering what to do next, and gradually became more composed.
He threw down the carrying pole he was carrying and said to the villagers of Sunjia Village watching outside the gate:
