Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xue Daxi acted as if she wasn’t being scolded. She carefully took a cloth from the side and covered her daughter’s head in her arms to dry her hair.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Du became even angrier. She came up and grabbed Du Hongguo’s hair, causing her to immediately raise her head and cry in pain.
Xue Daxi’s face changed from shock to anger. She quickly picked up a big stone hammer in the corner and strode into the kitchen. Then, with a bang, the pot that she usually cooked in was smashed.
“What are you doing?!” Du Shanqiang was stunned.
It was rare for He Erniu to jolt from such noises. She quickly put away her needle and thread.
“You… Have you gone mad?!” Grandpa Du was stunned for a moment, and then kept harassing her.
Grandma Du stood in her place before she shouted crazily, “Xue Daxi, do you know how much that pot costs? That’s one silver, you b*stard!”
How will this family spare money to buy another pot?
Xue Daxi came out of the kitchen with a big hammer. “Every time you lay a hand on her, I’ll smash something in this house as payment.” After saying that, she threw the big hammer at Grandma Du.
Grandma Du was frightened. She quickly let go of Du Hongguo and ran away. Du Hongguo immediately bolted to her mothers side.
The huge hammer fell on the ground in the courtyard, creating a dent on the floor.
” Ah!” Looking at the pit, Grandma Du started to wail. Then, she sat on the ground and began to cry. “My good days are over. The pot… It’s gone! Ah!”
“No, it’s not your fault… You…” Hearing his mother’s crying, Du Shanqiang finally reacted to the situation and quickly walked over. “H-how could you ruin it?”
Xue Daxi looked at him coldly. “Hongguo was being beaten up. As her father, shouldn’t you have done something about it?”
Du Hongguo was drenched in tears. Knowing that her father didn’t come to rescue her caused her tears to flow even more. She recalled that every time her grandmother scolded her, her father did not care…
Du Shanqiang suddenly felt a little guilty, but he still defended himself,
“That’s my mother you’re talking about. What can I do? Hit her?”
“Mother…” Du Hongguo was even more heartbroken when she heard that. She hugged her mother tightly. She did not want this person to be her father anymore!
Du Shanqiang felt even more guilty when he looked at his own daughter; it looked like she was afraid of him . “Well, Hongguo, filial piety is the most important thing in a family. You have to be filial to your grandmother too. Your grandmother didn’t do anything to you, did she? Besides, she’s getting old…
Du Hongguo suddenly felt a pang of fear — her father was not on her side! She was so frightened that she immediately burst into tears. “Mother, I don’t want to stay in this house anymore. When will we leave this place! I’m scared…”
Her voice wasn’t soft to begin with, and now that Du Hongguo was crying so loudly, it naturally attracted a lot of people to watch.
Du Shanqiangs face immediately turned red as he was surrounded by people yet again.
Xue Daxi hugged her daughter tightly while looking at her husband, “Du Shanqiang, if you really want Hongguo to be filial to you in the future and acknowledge you as her father, you should quickly agree to the divorce and let me take Hongguo away.”
Seeing Du Hongguo cry so miserably and having the attention of the villagers pushed Shanqiang into a tight corner. Among the onlookers, there were some that couldn’t stand the abuse any longer and spoke up.
“Shanqiang, you’re traumatizing the child! Hongguo is too young to be experiencing such things. If you go too far, will she still call you her father? You’d better listen to Daxi and quickly agree to the divorce..”
