He even said he was in charge at home, and that he'd wait...wait for you, Father...and then he'd sell me to that old man for money! Father, please save me!
When Zhao Dayong saw the injury on his little girl's face, he gasped again, "Did your mother see your injury?"
“I saw it. She said I deserved it, that I was foul-mouthed and went to Uncle San to ruin my brother’s business, so I deserved to be beaten. She also said I’m a spineless bastard who can’t be beaten to death.”
Zhao Dayong braced himself against the wall, barely managing to keep himself from fainting.
Her daughter was beaten like this, and instead of disciplining her unfilial son, she even blamed her for causing trouble? If she hadn't called for help, they would have been beaten to death yesterday, or at least they would have been drained of everything.
Stupid woman!
How could he marry such a thing?
Zhao Dayong's furious attack struck his heart, nearly knocking him over.
"Dad, I don't want to be sold. I promise I'll be obedient from now on. If my older brother lays a hand on me again, I won't call for help, I'll never call for help again. I'm just afraid my older brother will beat you to death! I won't dare to do it again! I'll never do it again!"
"puff!"
Zhao Dayong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
"father!"
They tried to lift the unconscious Zhao Dayong, but found that they couldn't move him no matter what they did.
The little girl's face was deathly pale. Should she go to her eldest uncle's house to call for her mother or to her third uncle's house? If she goes to her third uncle's house, will she be beaten again?
No, I have to go find my third uncle. He has a good doctor!
He carried a blanket out of the house and covered the unconscious person with it, then rushed out of the house like a whirlwind.
On the other side, Li gave the silver to Wang.
“Sister-in-law, here’s the money. We’re even now. Don’t worry about the old house anymore. It’s ours now.”
Li's face was very unpleasant. She wouldn't let them delay for even a few days; she insisted that they give her the money immediately, being extremely stingy.
"That's natural. From now on, the old house will belong to your second branch of the family."
Wang took the silver and weighed it in her hand. Didn't she say she had no money? Where did this silver come from? Did she give birth to it? Her second sister-in-law is now a liar; not a single word of hers can be trusted.
"Since you've already accepted the money, I'll head back now."
Wang stood up. "I'll see my second sister-in-law off."
………………
"Third Uncle, my father is coughing up blood!"
Zhao Dashu: ...The fire went too far just now, and it actually made my second brother vomit blood?
"Did he really vomit blood? The kind that comes out of his mouth?"
He wondered if he had misheard, or if the girl was exaggerating? No, what was wrong with her?
"Who hit you?" Zhao Dashu's face instantly turned cold. The little girl had been beaten so badly that her face was unrecognizable?!
Zhao Xiaoyu, Madam Song, and Old Man Qian were all shocked. Who could be so cruel as to use such a heavy hand?
"Third Uncle, please take the doctor there quickly! Father is still lying on the snow, and I can't move him!"
Wow!
Lying on the snow?!
Wouldn't they freeze to death?
No one dared to delay; the doctor, carrying his medicine box, hurriedly boarded the carriage.
Zhao Dashu also brought a strong man with him, um, to carry people!
Li and Zhao Dashu arrived at the courtyard gate at almost the same time. Upon seeing them, Li gave them a cold look. What were they doing here? Didn't he know how annoying he was? Even if he lent her money, she wouldn't thank him!
Seeing the girl get off the carriage, he was instantly furious. It was that brat again! She was so eager to climb the social ladder, he thought, "Why don't we just ask the third brother to take her in as his daughter?!"
"You brat, why aren't you staying home? What are you doing running around outside again?"
Zhao Dashu ignored her and walked away. Zhao Dayong lay on the snow with a blanket over his body.
There was a pool of blood next to the snow.
God!
He really did vomit blood!
"Old man!" Li exclaimed in surprise!
Someone carried Zhao Dayong into the house. Zhao Dashu instructed people to quickly take off his wet clothes, change his clothes, and then tuck him into a quilt. The doctor rushed forward to take his pulse.
"What exactly happened? Why did your father faint? Are you dead or alive? Couldn't you carry him inside? You left him in the yard in this freezing weather, trying to freeze him to death, didn't you?"
As he was about to grab the child, Zhao Dashu pulled the child behind him and looked at Li Shi with displeasure. "Second sister-in-law, do you think she can carry second brother? Didn't you go to call me? Second brother is still in the yard. Where were you? Why aren't you home?"
