Chapter 299: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 299: Hu Shi's Calculations, Mo's Family's Plea (1)
Although Li Zhong was old and not as agile as before, he was still much better off than Hu Shi, who was old and obese. Seeing her rushing over recklessly, he didn't confront her head-on. Instead, he stepped aside a few steps, feeling regretful that he didn't manage to hit Zhang Ming's face hard with the broom earlier.
Hu Shi wasn't as lucky. Despite her exertion, she didn't hit anyone and fell straight to the ground, intimately embracing the cold, hard surface with a dull thud. Even the onlookers winced in sympathy at the sight.
"Oh my goodness, committing violence in broad daylight! Is there no justice anymore? I, an old woman, just want to reunite my daughter-in-law's family, but that wicked person just won't allow it. Oh, my life is so bitter—"
Hu Shi lay on the ground, refusing to get up, tearfully recounting her grievances. Her pitiful appearance, with tears streaming down her face, did indeed evoke some sympathy.
The more people watched, pointing and gossiping, the louder she cried. When someone criticized Li Zhong for holding his daughter, she felt even more victorious.
Li Zhong looked on coldly at Hu Shi's pretense, paying her no mind. He walked straight to the back of the crowd and dragged Zhang Ming out of hiding. Seeing the bloodstains on his face from being hit with the broom, he felt a wave of satisfaction, wishing he could hit him a few more times.
"Hurry up and take your shameless parents and get lost. Otherwise, don't blame me for hitting her along with you! And you shameless scumbag, since you couldn't control your lower body and went to seduce a widow, and even divorced my daughter, don't come here pretending to be a gentleman now. I won't fall for your act! If you dare to cause trouble again next time, I'll come to your house with a knife and slaughter your whole family, so you won't disgust us anymore!"
"F-father-in-law, y-you shouldn't—shouldn't be like this." Hearing Li Zhong's murderous words and seeing his eyes filled with killing intent, Zhang Ming's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I-I just wanted to bring Xiuer—bring Xiuer back home."
The more Li Zhong heard, the angrier he became. He punched Zhang Ming's abdomen fiercely. "Xiuer has been divorced by you and has nothing to do with your Zhang family anymore. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll kill you now. Even if it costs me my life, I'll make sure you're dead."
Just now, he really had murderous intent. If this family kept clinging to them like sticky plasters, he would definitely kill them all for the sake of his daughter and granddaughter's peaceful life.
Feeling a pain in his abdomen, Zhang Ming bent over, his already pale face turning even paler.
"Don't think I'm just joking. If you push me too far, I'll kill your whole family sooner or later! Get out of here now, and don't come back!"
Li Zhong said, kicking him hard again. He felt nothing but disgust for this man who was controlled by his own mother, weak and useless. He regretted being blind and allowing his daughter's life to be ruined by such a useless person.
"F-father-in-law, please, please stop!"
After this severe lesson, Zhang Ming developed a deep fear of Li Zhong. He quickly broke free from Li Zhong's grasp and, under his terrifying gaze, staggered away, half supporting and half dragging Hu Shi.
"No, I won't leave. I want to bring my daughter-in-law back. Let go of me, you unfilial son, I won't leave—"
Hu Shi, having failed to achieve her goal, refused to leave! She screamed desperately for Zhang Ming to let her go, but Zhang Ming was terrified by Li Zhong's intimidation and somehow found the strength to drag her away.
