Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua rushed over immediately to stop his father Wang Zhanggen's violent act.

Wang Zhanggen didn't even glance at him, continuing to beat Li Xiulan.

Because of Wang Xiaohua's small frame, in his view, he couldn't possibly pose any threat to him at all.

However, he ultimately still underestimated Wang Xiaohua's strength.

Wang Xiaohua often played basketball at school; although his stature was small, he still had considerable strength.

He charged over fiercely and with one push knocked Wang Zhanggen to the ground!

Wang Zhanggen had no time to react; knocked down, he was completely stunned.

He was old after all; taking a collision like this was more than he could handle.

Wang Xiaohua straddled him, raining fists down hard on his own father's face.

"I'll make you hit my mom! I'll make you hit my mom!"

One fist after another swung down!

Wang Xiaohua was like a ferocious little beast; his eyes held rage, and he struck without restraint!

In a flash Wang Zhanggen was pummeled by Wang Xiaohua's fists until he was bruised and swollen, nose bleeding profusely, the whole man in a semi-conscious state!

Seeing this, Li Xiulan's face changed drastically long ago.

She hurried over to pull Wang Xiaohua back:

"Xiao Hua, stop hitting! Keep hitting and someone will die!"

Wang Xiaohua regained some sense; panting heavily, he got off Wang Zhanggen, tidied his schoolbag, slung it on his back, then turned and walked out the door.

He hadn't forgotten he still had to go to school.

But before leaving, he still dropped a ruthless line:

"If you dare bully my mom again, I'll break your limbs!"

Having said this, Wang Xiaohua left.

After Wang Xiaohua walked far away, Wang Zhanggen only then slowly and laboriously climbed up from the floor.

Wiping the nosebleed from his face, a sense of powerless grievance welled up inside him.

Before, he was the master of the house, the domestic emperor; whatever he said or did was right.

But now the three sons had grown up; Eldest Brother Wang Dashan was big and tall, long since beyond his control; Second Brother Wang Erhai was his equal in build, young and vital, and he could no longer beat Wang Erhai either.

What he never could have imagined was that he couldn't even beat Youngest Brother Wang Xiaohua, who was only 1.6 meters tall; he had always thought he could at least lord it over Wang Xiaohua for a while longer — one can only say he overestimated himself and underestimated Wang Xiaohua.

"Seems I really am old……"

Wang Zhanggen felt incomparably bleak inside.

Because from this moment on, it announced he had thoroughly lost his status as head of the household.

Not one of the three sons looked up to him; not one would obey his discipline.

Why do they all only listen to their mother? All so biased toward their mother? Can't they put themselves in his shoes and consider things for this father once?

Wang Zhanggen, wronged and choked up, actually shed tears.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiulan couldn't help but feel sympathy.

But sympathy is sympathy; the stance that must be made clear still has to be made clear:

"Wang Zhanggen, I can swear I've never had any relationship with He Dazhu; if you don't believe me, you can take Xiao Hua for a paternity test. Also, if you want a divorce, I'll agree immediately!"

Wang Zhanggen backed down.

He slowly turned, his slightly stooped back staggering as he walked into the bedroom to lie down and rest.

He didn't answer any of Li Xiulan's questions.

As if he had gone deaf.

Divorcing Li Xiulan was impossible.

Because he knew very well in his heart that if he divorced Li Xiulan, his three sons would absolutely never care for him again; they would only care about Li Xiulan.

Being a father like this was truly a failure.

Not one of the three sons took him seriously.

Even less would any respect him.

And he happened to be an old man with extremely strong self-esteem.

The mental torture this brought him was no less than torture after torture.

Seeing Wang Zhanggen go into the bedroom to rest, Li Xiulan no longer paid him any mind.

She got some Wanhua Oil and applied it to the wound on her face, then silently began cleaning up the mess in the living room.

This originally peaceful family, because of Wang Zhanggen's momentary impulse, once again saw crisis and cracks appear.

This man Wang Zhanggen really deserves to die; he was mocked by Yang Xiaocai outside, suffered grievance, couldn't beat Yang Xiaocai, so he came home and vented his anger on wife and children — such a man is most hateful.

Yet such men are still very common in this world; they are submissive and compromising outside, but once home they swagger and use fists and feet.

To outsiders they look like standard honest men, but in reality this kind of man is poison to marriage, a nightmare to wife and children.

Li Xiulan tidied the chaotic living room clean again, then prepared to go out.

At this moment, Wang Zhanggen walked out of the bedroom.

"Where are you going?"

Wang Zhanggen wore a face as stinking as a coffin lid.

"I'll go notify Yunxia and them — no work this afternoon."

Li Xiulan replied coldly with a single sentence.

Right now, doing the Shanggou Village Cultural Room project, besides the two of them as a couple, they've also hired two Big Workers and one Small Worker.

That hired Small Worker is none other than Li Yunxia, the Boss of the Village Entrance Convenience Store.

Now the village population has plummeted, especially children — those are pitifully few.

This has caused the once booming Village Entrance Convenience Store to become deserted, business cold and quiet.

Ever since Shanggou Village Primary School shut down, the Village Entrance Convenience Store has barely been able to stay afloat.

But Li Yunxia still stubbornly holds on; after all, she's run the store for so many years and long ago developed deep feelings for this convenience store.

But just guarding the store isn't a solution either; after all, sometimes not a single customer visits all day long.

Right at this time, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan's Cultural Room project needed to recruit people, so she took the initiative to apply for the Small Worker position.

She left a sign at the Village Entrance Convenience Store with her phone number written on it; if anyone needs to buy something, they just call her, and she'll immediately return to the store, open the door, and sell to them.

Anyway, the Cultural Room isn't very far from the Village Entrance Convenience Store.

"You come back, I'll just call and notify them!"

Wang Zhanggen didn't want Li Xiulan to go notify them personally.

Li Xiulan had been beaten by him until bruised and swollen; if she went out moving around now and was seen, she'd be mocked.

And others mocking his wife — the one who ultimately loses face is still him, the husband.

"Then you call and tell them; I'm going to the vegetable garden to weed a bit."

Li Xiulan turned and left, went to the Firewood Room to get a hoe, and went to the vegetable garden not far outside the courtyard gate to work.

She actually just didn't want to stay together with Wang Zhanggen.

So whether it was going out to notify others about no work this afternoon, or going to the vegetable garden to work, she didn't care about either — as long as she left here, as long as she didn't have to see Wang Zhanggen's ugly mug.

When she was young, she'd thought countless times about divorcing Wang Zhanggen, but always because she couldn't bear to part with her three sons, she ultimately chose to endure and compromise.

And now she's old, over forty, nearly fifty — divorce is even more impossible.

So when Wang Zhanggen beat her, besides resisting with her mouth a little, she didn't have the courage to take a further step.

She didn't even go so far as to demand Wang Zhanggen apologize to her.

She feels her life is a tragedy full of helplessness and heartache, muddleheadedly spending most of her life in hardship.

The only thing worth a shred of relief is that she has three sons, and all three sons side with her, protect her.
