Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

the other side.

With a gloomy face, Li Yaozong dragged Zhao Chunzhi back to the rented courtyard.

Zhao Chunzhi was pulled so hard she stumbled and almost fell several times, but Li Yaozong's face was so terrifying that Zhao Chunzhi didn't dare to speak.

"Bang!"

Back in the rented courtyard, Li Yaozong kicked open the gate.

yard.

Da Ni and Er Ni, who were supposed to go to school today, were washing clothes in the yard and sweeping the yard, respectively.

Li Yaozong said that studying is useless.

They've already made both kids drop out of school.

I heard a noise.

The two children were trembling with fear.

Li Yaozong had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw Erni standing blankly in the yard with a broom in her hand, looking like a fool, he instantly flew into a rage. "Have I been abusing you? You treat me like I'm a ghost every day!"

"dad……"

"Get out of here!"

Li Yaozong raised his leg and kicked.

The kick was delivered with no force whatsoever. Erni screamed and flew out, her small body crashing against the courtyard wall before sliding down it. She clutched her stomach in pain, curling into a ball.

"younger sister!"

"Erni!"

Da Ni and Zhao Chunzhi rushed over together, "Er Ni, are you alright?"

"It hurts, Erni, it hurts so much."

"Where does it hurt?"

"My stomach hurts, my back hurts, my whole body aches..."

Zhao Chunzhi was heartbroken. Seeing Li Yaozong approaching with a dark expression, she hugged his leg and cried, "Yaozong, if you want to hit someone, hit me, don't hit the child..."

"You think you can get away with this?!"

Li Yaozong's mouth was throbbing with pain, and the more it hurt, the angrier he became. He grabbed Zhao Chunzhi's hair and dragged her into the house like a dead dog. "You bitch, you useless, good-for-nothing idiot! What's your mouth good for? I told you to tell people that there were opium poppy shells in your parents' pastries and braised meat, and you were like a mute!"

"If you weren't so useless, would we be in this predicament?! We lost the 500 yuan we were about to get, and you even made me get into this mess. Today I'm going to beat you to death, you jinx!"

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open and then slammed shut again.

Followed by.

From behind the swaying wooden door came Li Yaozong's angry curses, Zhao Chunzhi's screams and pleas for mercy, and the sound of things being smashed inside the house.

"Sister...I'm scared." Erni trembled all over.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Da Ni herself was trembling. She hugged Er Ni tightly, her lips trembling as she said, "We need to grow up quickly, things will be better when we're grown up..."

"Will things get better when you grow up?"

Erni nestled in Dani's arms, "Sister, will we still have a chance to grow up?"

"..."

Da Ni was bewildered.

She doesn't know either.

Dad has a bad temper and beats people at home if anything doesn't go his way. Whenever he's home, Da Ni and Er Ni don't dare to breathe and try to stay as far away from him as possible.

But he still couldn't avoid being beaten.

It's the middle of summer.

Both sisters were wearing short sleeves.

His thin arms were covered with marks from the bamboo twigs.

The bruises dispersed.

Now it's all purplish-blue in patches.

If things continue like this, will they really have a chance to grow up?

Da Ni didn't know either.

"sister!"

Erni nestled in her sister's arms, sobbing. "Erni misses Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, and my two aunts... Shall we go find Grandma and Grandpa?"

Dani jumped in alarm, "Dad will kill us if he finds out."

"Waaah."

Screams echoed continuously from inside the house.

Erni was terrified. "Sister, let's go find the neighbors to save Mom, okay? If this keeps up, Dad will beat her to death..."

Da Ni didn't dare to go.

Last time Li Yaozong was detained, he beat Zhao Chunzhi like this when he came out of the police station.

Da Ni and Er Ni were afraid that Zhao Chunzhi would be beaten to death, so they ran crying to find their neighbors for help. The neighbors came to break up the fight and said that if Li Yaozong didn't stop, they would call the police.

Zhao Chunzhi was still crying.

Upon hearing that her neighbor was going to call the police, she immediately jumped out and said that her neighbor had ill intentions and wanted to send her man to jail.

After that day.

No matter how pitifully Zhao Chunzhi screamed when she was being beaten, none of her neighbors came to help.

Leaders from the street and community have also visited.

They warned Li Yaozong not to lay a hand on Zhao Chunzhi again. Li Yaozong verbally agreed, but after the leaders left, he beat Zhao Chunzhi severely again, saying that Zhao Chunzhi must have gone to the street and community leaders to complain.

Zhao Chunzhi was so frightened that she ran to the street and community.

She begged her superiors to stop interfering in her family's affairs.

The couple is both willing to give and receive; what can the leader do?

If this goes on for too long, forget about managing it.

Now there's no one left to watch the spectacle.

Da Ni understood that it would be useless to complain to anyone. Not only would it be useless, but if she and Er Ni dared to complain, they would definitely be met with a beating.

The two sisters hugged each other tightly.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The screams inside the house grew fainter.

The two sisters huddled in the corner, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible... They had figured out a pattern: every time their mother was beaten half to death, their father would stop and come out of the house.

really.

A short while later, Li Yaozong, his eyes blazing with fury, kicked open the door and came out of the house.

The two sisters lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with him.

Li Yaozong glared at them both fiercely, "You debt collectors! You're all fucking debt collectors! If it weren't for you two good-for-nothings, I wouldn't be in this mess!"

"..."

The two sisters dared not utter a sound.

Li Yaozong left after he finished cursing, because his mouth hurt terribly and he needed to go to the hospital to have it checked.

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Once they were sure he had left, the two sisters held hands and jogged back into the house.

The room was a complete mess.

All the tables, chairs, and benches were overturned.

Zhao Chunzhi was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, breathing weakly, and lying on the ground like a rag.

"mom!"

The two sisters rushed to her, crying, "Waaah, Mom, how are you?"

"..."

Zhao Chunzhi's tears streamed down her face.

She endured the pain, struggled to get up, and hugged her two children. "Waaah, my life... why is it so bitter? Why did I have to be born with such parents?"

Dani is eight years old.

After living with her parents for a year, she's now more sensible. "Mom, Dad hit you, why are you blaming Grandma and Grandpa?"

"You don't understand... Your dad used to treat me very well. It was only because your grandparents didn't want to raise you and Erni that your dad started hitting me."

Zhao Chunzhi dared not blame Li Yaozong, and could only direct her resentment at her parents.

But she made a mistake.

Li Yaozong didn't beat her before because they lived in their hometown back then.

At that time, Li Gui was the absolute authority at home.

As the oppressed party, Li Yaozong and Zhao Chunzhi naturally banded together for mutual support.

Now they are independent.

The stance has long since changed.

"..."

Is that right?

Da Ni had a vague feeling that what her mother said was wrong.

When I was in school, my teacher said that raising children is the responsibility of parents. What does it have to do with grandparents?

Da Ni doesn't understand.

But neither she nor Erni wanted to be beaten, nor did they want to see their mother being beaten.

Dani mustered her courage and said, "Mom, you should divorce Dad."

"What?"

Zhao Chunzhi froze, then her voice suddenly rose, "How can you get a divorce? If you divorce, you and Erni won't have a father anymore. How pitiful are children without a father? Mom has endured so much for both of you, how can you say such a thing!"
