Chapter 96: Chaos in the Zhao Family
After reading Zhao Hongwei's confession, Huo Chunjiang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He opened the door of the study and shouted to his little daughter: "Yanhong, go and call your Zhao... call Commander Zhao over here."
As soon as Zhao Tianzhu joined the army, he became a soldier under Huo Chunjiang, and he even blocked bullets for Huo Chunjiang on the battlefield. Although they were superiors and subordinates, they had a very good personal relationship and treated each other like brothers.
However, this matter was too serious, and Huo Chunjiang could no longer have a private relationship with Zhao Tianzhu, otherwise people would mistakenly think that he was protecting Zhao Hongwei.
Even though he had protected and shielded Zhao Hongwei many times over the years, he still acted flawlessly on the surface.
Zhao Tianzhu's family and Huo Chunjiang's family lived in the same row, with two houses between them.
Huo Yanhong braved the cold wind and ran to the door of Zhao's house. Before she knocked on the door, she heard Niu Dahua's vicious curses coming from inside...
"...You shameless vixen, you only know how to seduce Tianzhu all day long...You gave birth to a bunch of useless money-losing things, and you still think you gave birth to a precious baby..."
Huo Yanhong frowned in disgust and knocked on the door.
Ever since this damn old woman came here, not only the Zhao family, but even the surrounding neighbors have been uneasy. Her dirty curses can be heard from morning to night every day.
She is also a woman, but why does she have such a foul mouth? She calls people either a bitch or a slut, and the insults she gives are so ugly.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Zhao family.
Niu Dahua pinched her waist with her left hand and pointed with her right hand, scolding Sun Xiuzhen's four children and Zhao Hongwei's three eldest daughters born to his deceased wife one by one.
In this family, except for Zhao Tianzhu and his son Zhao Hongwei, and Zhao Hongwei's two sons Zhao Guofang and Zhao Guofu, the rest of the people are rotten fish and shrimp in Niu Dahua's eyes.
She would scold these people dozens of times every day, and she would not restrain herself even if they were Zhao Tianzhu's family.
In the first two days, Zhao Tianzhu couldn't stand it and even said a few words to Niu Dahua.
But Niu Dahua cried loudly every time, slapping her thigh and talking about how she had to scrape out food from her teeth to feed Zhao Tianzhu. Her own daughter Sun Yuqin had risked her life to save Zhao Tianzhu from the assassination of Japanese pirates during her confinement, but her own daughter was unfortunate and did not enjoy a single day of Zhao Tianzhu's happiness...
Zhao Tianzhu is a spineless fence-sitter who will go wherever the wind blows. Besides, he also feels deeply grateful and guilty towards his deceased wife.
Facing Niu Dahua's screams and howls, he was not annoyed. Instead, he felt guilty towards his deceased wife. He no longer cared about his wife, children, and granddaughters, and instead tried to comfort Niu Dahua.
Over time, Niu Dahua became more and more arrogant and no longer regarded Sun Xiuzhen as a human being.
Sun Xiuzhen was weak in character and had been spoiled by her parents since she was a child. She had never met an old shrew like Niu Dahua. Moreover, she was young, only two or three years older than Zhao Hongwei. Let alone Niu Dahua, she was very afraid of Zhao Hongwei.
People always pick on the weak, and the same goes for people. The weaker you are, the more others will bully you.
As time went by, Zhao Tianzhu became numb. Every time he heard Niu Dahua's vicious abuse and humiliation of his wife, children and granddaughter, he hid in the study like a turtle and pretended not to hear.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Niu Dahua had not stopped cursing, but her voice was lowered.
She had lived here for such a long time, and knew that all the residents here were high-ranking officials of the military region. She was afraid that the person visiting might be one of the high-ranking officials, and that her vicious abuse would leave a bad impression on others. However, she felt uncomfortable if she did not curse, so she could only lower her voice.
While cursing, he stretched his head to look into the yard. If it was really a big leader, he would stop cursing immediately.
But when Sun Xiuzhen's second daughter Zhao Lin ran to open the door and led Huo Yanhong in, Niu Dahua just glanced at her indifferently, obviously not taking her seriously, and continued to abuse her.
Even though Niu Dahua knew that Huo Yanhong was the daughter of Commander Huo, she was self-righteous and thought that everyone was like her, favoring boys over girls and didn't take her daughter seriously at all, so no matter which big leader's daughter she was, she would not take her seriously.
"Aunt Sun, Dad wants to see Uncle Zhao for something, so he asked you to come over and call him." Huo Yanhong glanced coldly at Niu Dahua, who was spitting out saliva, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
Niu Dahua was not blind, so she naturally noticed Huo Yanhong's disgust for her. She was very angry at her and took her out on him.
"You bitch, why are you glaring at me? I haven't offended you..."
"You stinky old woman, I haven't offended you, why are you scolding me?! If your mouth is itchy, go to the farm and rub it on the pig's butt..."
Huo Yanhong is Huo Chunjiang's daughter who came later in life. She has been spoiled by her parents and brothers and sisters since she was a child. She has a very hot-tempered personality and will not allow Niu Dahua to scold her like Sun Xiuzhen and others did.
"You damn girl, how dare you talk to an old man like that? Believe it or not, tell your parents and let them beat you up."
"You old bitch, you are not worthy of talking to my parents with your foul mouth. Otherwise, you would have made them faint."
Huo Yanhong put her hands on her waist and looked up proudly. She was just as majestic and skilled in scolding as Niu Dahua. She made the old woman so angry that a breath of anger got stuck in her throat and she almost suffocated to death.
"Ahem... you uneducated little girl, you will never find a husband and will be a maid for the rest of your life..."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!" Although Zhao Tianzhu hid in the study, he could hear every word of the scolding outside.
Seeing that Niu Dahua even dared to scold Huo Yanhong, he became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. For the first time in his life, he got angry at Niu Dahua.
Niu Dahua glared at Huo Yanhong, turned her head and rubbed her eyes hard, pretending to cry, "Tianzhu, you and Chunjiang have such a good relationship, you should talk to him nicely, this damn girl in his family is too unruly, she even scolded the old man..."
Before Zhao Tianzhu could speak, Sun Xiuzhen's eldest daughter Zhao Yue couldn't help but sneered and said, "Dad, Yanhong came to call you, and she was scolded by grandma as soon as she entered the door. If Yanhong was uneducated, she would definitely run to the toilet to dig a pile of shit and smear it on grandma's mouth... smack~"
Before Zhao Yue could finish her words, Niu Dahua rushed over and slapped her with all her might.
Seeing his elder sister being beaten, Zhao Hongguang, who was only 15 years old, rushed over and bit Niu Dahua's arm.
“Ah…bang…bang…”
Niu Dahua felt pain and grabbed the big teacup on the table and smashed it hard on Zhao Hongguang's head.
After just two hits, Zhao Hongguang was knocked unconscious. His head was broken and blood flowed down his forehead, quickly dyeing his pale little face red.
"You damn old woman, I'll fight you to death..." Sun Xiuzhen couldn't bear it anymore and finally exploded. She rushed over and grabbed Niu Dahua's hair with one hand and tried to slap her in the face with the other.
However, before Sun Xiuzhen's hand landed on Niu Dahua's face, Zhao Tianzhu grabbed her throat tightly and ordered in a cold voice: "Let go... If you don't let go, I will strangle you to death..."
Sun Xiuzhen laughed in anger and looked at Zhao Tianzhu with red eyes. Although she couldn't speak, the strength in her hands increased again and again, tightly pulling Niu Dahua's hair.
Niu Dahua screamed in pain, but Zhao Tianzhu's strength was getting stronger and stronger.
In the end, Sun Xiuzhen had difficulty breathing and was weak all over, so she had to let go of Niu Dahua's hair.
"Bitch...how dare you..." Niu Dahua grabbed Sun Xiuzhen's hair and tried to push her to the ground, but ended up saving Sun Xiuzhen's life from Zhao Tianzhu's clutches.
If Niu Dahua hadn't pushed Sun Xiuzhen to the ground, Zhao Tianzhu would have strangled her to death.
"Dad, even though you hid in the study and didn't come out, I believe you are not deaf..." Zhao Yue held her brother Zhao Hongguang, who fainted with blood all over his face, and stared at Zhao Tianzhu in despair and anger.
"This damn old woman scolds us from the moment she opens her eyes in the morning to the moment she closes them at night, and she often doesn't let us eat, but you turn a blind eye and let her bully and abuse us... If you care so much about her, her dead daughter, and your son Zhao Hongwei, then why did you marry my mother and give birth to us siblings..."
Zhao Yue's last few words were shouted out in anger, which actually stunned Zhao Tianzhu.
"Tianzhu, you're not going to live anymore. Look at this vixen you married and the bastards she gave birth to. They don't even take you seriously..." Niu Dahua cursed Sun Xiuzhen heavily while crying to Zhao Tianzhu.
"Okay, let's go... When Hongwei comes back, I'll ask him to take me to the train station. I'll never step into your house again in my life... Yuqin, my poor daughter, please open your eyes and take a look. Brother Tianzhu, whom you rescued, actually wants to drive your mother away..."
Zhao Tianzhu was once again brainwashed by Niu Dahua. He angrily slapped Zhao Yue twice and said, "You little bitch, kneel down and admit your mistake to your grandmother..."
Zhao Yue gritted her teeth and stopped being so timid as usual. She stared at Zhao Tianzhu fearlessly and yelled hysterically, "My grandmother passed away two years ago. This damn old woman is not my grandmother... Also, I am not wrong, and my mother is not wrong either... Why should we apologize to this old woman... Papapa..."
Zhao Tianzhu felt that his dignity was trampled upon by a yellow-haired girl. He no longer cared about the father-daughter relationship and slapped Zhao Yue twice.
"Uncle Zhao, my father and Uncle Liu want to talk to you about something, you should go quickly." Huo Yanhong couldn't bear it any longer and stopped Zhao Tianzhu loudly.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Tianzhu realized belatedly that there was a stranger in the house. He withdrew his hand that was about to fall on Zhao Yue's face, took a few deep breaths, and comforted Niu Dahua a few words before leaving.
Looking at the resolute back, Sun Xiuzhen closed her eyes in despair, swallowed back all the grievances, crawled on her knees on the ground, and took the unconscious Zhao Hongguang from Zhao Yue.
Finally, with the help of Zhao Yue and Zhao Lin, Sun Xiuzhen stood up shakily and ran out holding her little son.
Not only did Sun Xiuzhen's children run away, but Zhao Hongwei's children also ran away.
Although Zhao Hongwei always regarded Sun Xiuzhen and her four children as dirt, his ex-wife and children who died of dystocia had a good relationship with Sun Xiuzhen and her children.
Moreover, Sun Xiuzhen and her daughter did not hate these children because of Zhao Hongwei's abuse, so the children regarded Sun Xiuzhen as their grandmother and had a very close relationship with her.
However, their power was too weak to compete with Zhao Hongwei and Niu Dahua.
This way, the Huo family.
The moment Zhao Tianzhu pushed open the gate, the anger on his face had disappeared.
However, Huo Yanhong ran back home first, and when she was halfway through giving a brief summary of the chaos in the Zhao family, Zhao Tianzhu came in.
"Old Huo, what do you want to see you for so late at night?" Zhao Tianzhu entered the main room and was a little surprised to see Liu Zhenggang, Shen Qingzhu, and Qin Lingnian all there. He asked again, "Do you have a mission?"
Huo Yanhong wanted to ignore Zhao Tianzhu and continue talking about the Zhao family, but Huo Chunjiang patted her on the back to signal her to stop. The little girl curled her lips, rolled her eyes at Zhao Tianzhu, and went back to her room angrily.
"Let's talk in the study." Huo Chunjiang glanced at Zhao Tianzhu, shook his head and walked towards the study.
