"Leave it alone." Wang Shufen said coldly, "I’d rather bear this bad reputation for life, but I will never be with you again. I won’t marry you even if I die, get lost!"
At this moment, the old man who had been silent suddenly went into the yard and grabbed a stool, forcefully smashing it over the man’s head, "I’ll kill you, you beast!"
The man quickly dodged to the side, "Dad, please, please! I really have changed! Ouch! Dad, hit me more gently!"
The old man’s attacks were strong, striking the man wildly. Soon, the man was bleeding from his nose and begged for mercy, but the old man showed no signs of stopping, "I’ve killed people on the battlefield, why would I fear a beast like you? What did I tell you last time? Divorce means severing ties, if you ever come to my door again, I’ll kill you! Are you thinking we Wang family have no one, letting others bully us like this!"
The man was utterly shocked; the old man usually appeared weak, but today he resembled a suddenly awakened fierce tiger. The man was beaten so badly he fled everywhere, inadvertently noticing Sun Chan standing in the corner, seemingly easy to use as a shield!
Thus, Ding Quan didn’t even think before moving to hide behind Sun Chan. Gu Junming reacted quickly, pulling her close into his embrace.
Sun Chan bumped into his sturdy shoulder, saw the guy trying to come over, so she quickly pretended to be unsteady, extended her leg and tripped him. That guy staggered and nearly went down to his knees; before he could stand up, something hit him hard on the back and he knelt on the ground, eating dirt.
Before he could get up, the old man’s stool smashed down hard, "I’ll beat you to death, see if you dare to bully my Shufen again!"
The man was struck down, lying on the ground crying out, "Stop hitting, Dad, I was wrong! Spare me, please!"
"Who are you calling Dad! Get out, you aren’t even as good as a beast!" Father Wang hit even harder, while Mrs. Wang pulled him over, hitting and cursing at the same time. They only had one daughter; even though the family wasn’t well off, she was lovingly raised. The marriage with the Ding Family happened because the two grandfathers got along, but who knew the Ding Family was amiable on the surface but mean and harsh behind the scenes, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Marrying their daughter into such a beast-like family almost killed her within a few years. Now, they have the nerve to want reconciliation?
"You even knew to bring cakes when visiting a widow but what are you bringing when coming to take your wife home? Since my daughter married you, did you ever buy her a piece of candy? Even back when Kangkang was born, it was our family who paid!"
Ding Quan hurriedly said, "No, Mom, I’m sincere..."
"Get out! Get out!"
The elderly couple rushed to beat him, Ding Quan covered his head as he fled, and after a few blows, his bones seemed about to break. Limping, he walked out, still shouting as he looked back, "Wife, I will definitely bring you home, you and our son are my life!"
One of the old man’s stools flew out, hitting his heel exactly, Ding Quan grunted, rolled twice on the ground, and then stood up without looking back, limping away.
Once Ding Quan left, the old man squatted on the ground clutching his heart, coughing violently, with an expression of intense pain.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Shufen quickly ran over to support him, "Are you alright?"
Gu Junming said nothing, quickly went indoors, and soon returned with the medicine his father usually took. Sun Chan also scooped a large ladle of water from a big jar inside. The two helped the old man take the medicine.
Mrs. Wang was breathing angrily, "I’ll go and cause a scene at the Ding family later, let the whole village know how shameless they are!"
Wang Shufen buried her face and started crying, "Dad, it’s my fault, I’ve dragged down the maternal family!"
"I’m fine; I don’t know why this beast insists on remarrying, and won’t give up. You should first bring the child back. It wouldn’t be good if the Ding family takes the child as a threat." Although the old man’s health was poor, his mind stayed clear, "Shufen, go and get Kangkang back, we have your mother here."
