"Dad, do you think Dazhuzi will survive?"
Old Man Pan frowned. He didn't know, he never expected his sons to beat someone to such a state.
"I don't know, but since no one has come from over there yet, it means he's still alive."
That's true, if he were to die, they would definitely come knocking on our door.
If he dies, his whole family will probably be buried with him. After all, Zhao Laosan is very familiar with the county magistrate. And no matter what, Dazhuzi is his own nephew. Even if he doesn't like him, he can't just let him be beaten to death.
The Pan family wasn't afraid of Zhao Dayong's family; they were afraid of Zhao Dashu.
It would have been far too easy for him to crush them.
Even if he dislikes Zhao Dayong's family and Dazhuzi, he might still interfere.
How could these peasants possibly compete with the officials?
Even if Zhao Dashu doesn't care, once Dazhuzi dies, Zhao Dayong's family will definitely not let them go, and they will really die.
He now only hopes that Dazhuzi can stay alive. As long as he has a breath left, they will not be in the wrong if the Zhao family comes knocking on their door.
That bastard is really a piece of trash.
"If he hadn't died, would his third uncle have come after us?"
"Probably not. Zhao Laosan isn't a bad person; he's much better than Zhao Dayong."
Pan hugged her knees, staring at the ground in silence.
Her life is already ruined; she can't let her brothers be ruined along with her.
"They should have called me over then and killed her with one blow. Even if I died, it would have been just me who died, and it wouldn't have had anything to do with you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
“Really, Dad, my life is ruined. He ruined it.”
She sobbed softly, saying "Waaah..."
"I want to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"
"Alright, honey, stop talking nonsense. What's done is done, things will be better in the future."
The rest of the Pan family remained silent. They didn't know who to blame, since the whole family had agreed to the divorce.
If you were to ask Old Man Pan what he regretted most in his life, it would be marrying his daughter to Dazhuzi.
They originally went there because of Zhao Dashu, thinking that if they became in-laws, they could ask him for favors and help their family out.
Little did they know they'd miscalculated. He actually disliked Zhao Dayong, so not only Zhao Dayong's family, but Zhao Dayong's entire family wouldn't benefit from it.
Old Pan couldn't understand why Zhao Laosan treated his own brother like this, showing no mercy and giving him no benefit whatsoever.
Now he understood. No wonder he was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination; he knew these people very well. He knew they were greedy and of poor character, so from the very beginning, he hadn't given them any hope or opportunity.
He had already seen through both families long ago.
He knew nothing about it and foolishly led his daughter into the car, ruining her life.
It's one thing to have bad character, but to make your daughter pregnant is another.
Even after the divorce, he still wouldn't let her go. He had a feeling that as long as his daughter showed any promise, that bastard Dazhu would come and cause trouble.
Not only could they not borrow money, but even Zhao Dayong's family couldn't borrow any.
Sigh, they're the ones who ruined our daughter by marrying her a scumbag.
What should she do for the rest of her life?
That damn Dazhuzi is like a mad dog. What if he won't let her go even after she's dead? Are they going to keep her at home for the rest of her life?
How is that possible?!
Impossible. Even if he agreed, his son and daughter-in-law wouldn't.
Old Pan was overwhelmed with worries, one thing after another, and he was almost bald from worry.
After this ordeal, I doubt any matchmakers will ever try to find a husband for my daughter again.
"Why don't we go to the Zhao family's house and bring all your luggage home?" Pan Lao Er suggested.
It's too unsafe to leave it in Dazhu's hands; who knows what he might do in the future?
"Do you think they'll give it to us?" Old Pan said wearily, closing his old eyes. "Forget it, let's wait and see what the Zhao family says. And whether Zhao Dashu will actually get involved."
He was very uneasy. The Zhao family might come to their door to cause trouble at any time these days. Things weren't going to be peaceful for his family!
After returning from the clinic, Zhao Dayong went straight to Zhao Dashu. Zhao Dayong was furious. The Pan family was simply too much. They dared to hit his son and even beat Dazhuzi half to death.
A bunch of bastards who need to be taught a lesson!
This time, the third brother must help him get revenge no matter what. As long as he still acknowledges him as his second brother, he must help him.
Dazhu is still in the clinic. The doctor said that he has broken one leg and one hand, and has also suffered internal injuries, not to mention numerous other external injuries. In short, his injuries are extremely serious, and there is not a single unscathed spot on his body.
He barely escaped with his life.
Seeing this broke his and his wife's hearts. When they got home, he was the only one who came back to get the money, clothes, and food, while his wife stayed at the clinic to take care of their son.
He was furious; he wanted to kill the entire Pan family.
They must repay tenfold for the suffering their son endured.
The third son's family had many servants and thugs, so in the past, the Pan family could only be beaten.
The scholars and their ilk were not to be trifled with; even if they were beaten, they could only suffer in vain.
When he came back, Dazhuzi was still telling him that he must not let the Pan family off easily, and that they must pay for their crimes in blood.
He felt his son was right; there was no reason to hurt someone like that, no matter the cause.
They not only disregarded them, but also the third brother.
This time, he will definitely make the Pan family suffer a terrible fate, and let others see that Zhao Dayong is not someone to be trifled with.
He also has a younger brother who is a scholar, and he won't abandon him!
"Master, the Second Master has arrived. His eyes are bloodshot. He says he wants you to seek justice for him. He's been bullied to death."
Zhao Dashu sneered. Who could bully him? And who would dare to bully him?
It's a miracle that he didn't kill anyone.
If it weren't for Pan's thick skin and audacity, any other woman would have hanged herself at their doorstep long ago.
That's really giving him too much credit!
"Go tell him you can't see him, and if there's anything you need, don't come to me, I'll handle it myself. Also, tell him to find out what's going on before causing trouble, and see who's at fault."
He's insane. If he wants to go crazy, he can go crazy on his own.
The gatekeeper was in a real bind. He was certain that if he told the second master this, the master might kill him.
The doorman reluctantly went out, walking incredibly slowly, because he really didn't want to face the master.
