Chapter 20: Unjust
"No, no, no, it's not unfair..."
Xia Jianguo got up from the ground tremblingly, holding his mother's hand, crying and sobbing. He cried so emotionally that a snot bubble even came out of his nose.
He was already ugly, and his face was beaten so badly that it was horrible to look at. He was crying and snotting, and it was really unbearable to watch.
Xia Zhizhi originally wanted to go up and give him another slap, but seeing his big snot bubble, she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She comforted herself and decided to do a good deed for the day and let him go.
As a mother, she doesn't mind her son's ugliness. Seeing him so miserable, Li Dongmei felt distressed and reached out to wipe his snot: "Son, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you!"
Xia Jianguo told Li Dongmei the whole story.
Li Dongmei could no longer suppress her anger. She stared at Xia Zhizhi with hatred and rushed over with her teeth bared and claws bared: "It turned out that it was you, a jerk, who beat Jianguo into this state. How dare you, how dare you!"
Xia Zhizhi slapped her in the face.
"Mom, calm down. Do you think I would not feel bad if I beat my brother? But stealing a woman's panties is a hooligan act, and he was caught in the street. If I don't beat him, do I have to wait for others to take him to the police station and eat peanuts?"
No man could tolerate having his wife and son beaten. Xia Ruhai came over to help, but Xia Zhizhi gave him an uppercut and sent him to accompany Xia Jianguo.
After the beating, he still howled in disbelief: "Dad, are you crazy? You followed Mom to make trouble, do you want to destroy our family?"
One of them was hit hard by a big slap in the face. After being forced to calm down physically, Li Dongmei hugged her son and cried bitterly, but she didn't dare to hit her again. She could only complain in her heart: "You can't hit her so hard. Look at how you beat your elder brother..."
Xia Zhizhi looked distressed, "Mom, I love you so much that I blame you so much. The pain is felt in my heart when I hit you. You all know what kind of person Auntie Fatty is. She will argue even when she is wrong. Now she is right and wants to send my brother to jail. What should I do?"
"If my eldest brother goes to jail, our Xia family will be finished. In order to keep our family together, I can only bear the pain and beat him up severely."
"Look how hard I beat him. Auntie Fatty is too embarrassed to continue. If he really wants to make a fuss, the neighbors will speak up for us. Besides, this matter can be big or small, but no matter how small it is, it is still a stain. My brother will join the police station in the future. What if this stain affects his future promotion?"
Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei were also stumped by his question and asked through sobs, "Then what do you say we should do?"
"So I had to beat him up. Now everyone only remembers that I beat him up. Who would remember that he stole my pants?"
"Well, I didn't steal your pants..."
"Brother!" Xia Zhizhi looked at him with great sorrow and anguish: "You are confused. If you stole, it's stolen. Just don't steal again in the future."
"Well, really..."
"Okay, let's just let it go and don't mention it again."
Xia Zhizhi made the decision and looked at Xia Jianguo and said, "Brother, you are the lifeblood of the Xia family. The future of the family line and the glory of the ancestors all depend on you. When you enter the public security system in the future, you will have a bright future waiting for you, so you must act uprightly and not leave any handle on yourself, so as not to be attacked by others in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Xia Ruhai and his wife again: "Mom and Dad, I agreed to marry Director Lu because I wanted to win a good future for my eldest brother. If my eldest brother's future is affected, then what's the point of me living? So even if you hate me, for my eldest brother's future, I have decided to keep a close eye on him and not let him make any mistakes again!"
Xia Zhizhi took a deep breath and said, "For the future of the Xia family, even if you don't acknowledge me as your daughter, I am willing to do so!"
After saying that, he sniffed, rushed into his room, closed the door, slipped into the space, made a cup of milk tea, and drank it happily.
She had always picked on the weak ones at home. Was it because he was too soft-hearted? Of course not.
The increase in strength after awakening superpowers is also a gradual process. At the beginning, it was 1v5, and they had to resist, and she might be killed. This was not a matter of raising them up and arranging them all when they were considered strong enough.
After all, a family should be together.
The Xia family...
What can they do? They are also desperate.
After cleaning up the wounds on their bodies, they all had bruises and swollen faces, looking so miserable.
During lunch, everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to call Xia Zhizhi.
In the end, it was Xia Fangfang who knocked gently on the door.
When there was no response, he whispered, "Second sister, I'll leave the rice in the pot for you."
During the two days that Xia Jianguo was recuperating at home, the atmosphere at home became increasingly depressing.
Whenever Xia Zhizhi went out, she heard people talking about how the injuries on the Xia couple's faces were caused by a fight between Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei after Xia Ruhai discovered that he was wearing a hat.
After Xia Jianguo's injuries had almost recovered, Xia Zhizhi began to discipline him. She beat him for walking improperly, sitting improperly, talking rudely, and even sleeping lazily.
She beat up her elder brother for his own good. She had to pay attention to her image. Even if she was taken to the police station, she wouldn't look real when she put on the police uniform.
The prestige of cadres must be cultivated from now on.
Why do we need to train his reaction ability? Only when he becomes agile can he achieve merit and get promoted quickly.
I found a bunch of random excuses, but later I just gave up and just beat him up.
Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei must have been dissatisfied at first.
What could Xia Zhizhi do? Of course, she would beat them up with the whole family and then give them a sincere lecture.
As the saying goes, a beating hurts the son. In order to prevent Xia Zhizhi from feeling pain, Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei just let it go after being beaten a few times.
Since he can’t be killed anyway, let him be.
With the addition of Xia Jianguo, the two sisters of the Xia family, especially Xia Lanlan, felt that the pressure was relieved a lot and their lives became better.
Two days later, when Xia Zhizhi came home from school, she heard Li Dongmei and her husband arguing.
Xia Ruhai finally heard other people's gossip, accusing Li Dongmei of not educating her children well, but instead focusing on dressing up and going out every day in fancy clothes, wondering if there was any reason.
Xia Zhizhi looked at Xia Ruhai with great disappointment: "Dad, after Mom married you, she worked so hard to run the family. Other families' wives wore red and green, but Mom had to go back and forth in two sets of work clothes all year round. She never thought you were incompetent. Now you just draw eyebrows and eyes, and eyebrow pencil and powder are not worth much money. How can you say that to her?"
"She must have given up on me in her heart and is thinking of finding someone better!" Xia Ruhai said angrily.
Li Dongmei was so sad: "Why would I abandon you? You have been earning a second-level salary for so many years. Those who entered the factory at the same time as you now earn more than you. I never said a word to you. I worked so hard to give birth to your children, wash your clothes and cook for you, and you actually said that to me. If I had known this would happen, I would have married you instead of anyone else!"
Xia Ruhai was immediately furious and rushed over to fight with Li Dongmei: "I'm afraid you've had this idea in your mind all these years. You dress up gorgeously every day. I saw you smile so hard at Chen Gong that your teeth are almost up in the air. You must be thinking about finding another employer!"
