Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 52.2: The Bitter Heroine (46)
Zhang Ma, who was surrounded by several people, was furious at this time and cursed: “What’s the point of you standing there and watching, you useless thing, come and help me fight!”
If it was just a quarrel of words, the neighbors could still hide at home and pretend to be dead, but now several people were fighting with each other, and Lao Zhang had already started calling out people’s names, so the neighbors could no longer pretend and came out of their homes one after another.
Seeing so many people coming, Shao Yu knew that he could no longer take sides, so he had to forcefully pull the two groups apart and said, “Auntie Zhang, even if you look down on me, please don’t bully my daughter and my wife.”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was immediately furious. She pointed at Liu Cuifen and her daughter, then at herself, and said, “Look, who is bullying who?”
Aunt Zhang’s hair was disheveled. At this time, there were several blood stains and a very obvious slap mark on her face.
As for Liu Cuifen and her daughter, apart from their messy hair styles, there were no signs of any injuries.
Shao Yu didn’t even wink at Liu Cuifen, but Liu Cuifen’s body softened skillfully and she wailed.
“It hurts so much, it hurts so much, this old woman wants to kill me.” Liu Cuifen said, and secretly pulled Shao Yingniang.
Shao Yingniang was a slow beat, but soon she also acted weak and imitated her mother, pretending to faint.
Shao Yu supported his wife and daughter and complained to Zhang Ma: “Look, although your face was scratched a few times, you are still strong, and the two of them couldn’t stand steadily because of your scratches.”
Seeing Shao Yu’s reversal, Zhang Ma almost fell backwards in anger and scolded, “They are just pretending. You three beat me up, and you still have the nerve to say that!”
“You are so strong that the three of us can’t beat you,” Liu Cuifen replied.
Everyone’s eyes moved around the three of them. Aunt Zhang had a stout build, while Liu Cuifen and Shao Yingniang were both very thin.
“Anyway, I can’t explain it clearly now, right?” Aunt Zhang shouted.
Shao Yu looked at her steadily and said, “It is true that the three of us are bullying you alone.”
Liu Cuifen pulled Shao Yu hard.
Although Aunt Zhang didn’t know why Shao Yu suddenly changed his words and admitted it, she immediately said to the neighbors as if she had obtained some kind of imperial sword, “You heard it, the Shao family bullies others, three of them bully me!”
Aunt Ma Zhang did not know why Shao Yu suddenly changed his mouth to admit it, he immediately seemed to have acquired some kind of precious sword, and said to the neighbors: “You heard, your Shao family bullied people, the three of them bullied me!”
The neighbors looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Shao Yu continued, “If you want to slander my family, go ahead. Of course, I can only let them beat you if they want to.”
Aunt Zhang: …
She couldn’t believe her ears. Was what Shao Yu said sounding like human language?
“You are so unreasonable! You hurt me, you have to pay me!” said Aunt Zhang.
“Why didn’t you reason with us when you slandered us? I can pay you money, but you should first compensate us for the mental damage we suffered from slandering us.” Shao Yu said.
Aunt Zhang had never heard of this term, but she had been fighting with Shao Yu for several times but still couldn’t get the upper hand. She could only continue to scold: “A married daughter living with her children in her parents’ home, this is shameless!”
Shao Yu knew that Shao Yingniang lived with her three children in her parents’ home. This matter had actually been the subject of much discussion in the alley, but due to Shao Yu’s face, these people only muttered in private until now when Zhang Ma openly scolded her.
Shao Yu had never had the opportunity to explain things clearly in the past, so he took this opportunity to make the matter clear.
“What’s wrong with a married daughter? Once she’s married, isn’t she your child anymore?”
“You don’t feel sorry for your daughter, you don’t want her to learn to read, and you can see that she is suffering.”
Shao Yu’s gaze swept over everyone around him.
Being stared at like this, these people couldn’t help but lower their heads.
Shao Yu continued, “I’m different from you. If my daughter gets hurt at her husband’s house, I won’t be able to bear it.”
“My daughter’s husband beats her, and her mother-in-law is also cruel to her. My daughter wants to toughen it, but I don’t want to wait any longer. I forced them to divorce, and I took her back home , taught her to read, and taught her to learn foreign languages.”
“She doesn’t have a man now, but she has children and a job. She earns more than ten dollars a month. She’s better than all of you. I’m very proud of her!”
After hearing what Shao Yu said, everyone present was stunned. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to admire Shao Yu’s decisiveness or envy Shao Yingniang, a little girl who had such a high income.
Shao Yingniang was standing beside Liu Cuifen at this time, staring at her father’s back, feeling very sad.
“No matter how much you say, no one still wants your daughter…” Aunt Zhang swallowed the last half of the word “slut” while Shao Yu looked at her with a murderous gaze.
Shao Yu asked her: “Do you think that girls are born to be wanted by others?”
“The girls in your family have been exploited by you to do hard work since they can remember. After they get married, they are given a dowry. Then, when they enter their husband’s family, they are always required to subsidize their brothers from their natal family. What is this? Are they exploited from head to toe by your family?” Shao Yu asked.
