Chapter 716: Gambling Addiction (2)
"You bastard, you bastard! I'm going to beat you to death! You bastard, you've just had a few days of good life and you're already gambling?" After sitting down and taking a breath, Uncle Li picked up the broom beside him and hit Li Hao as soon as he sobered up.
"Dad, Dad! Stop hitting me, Dad! I was wrong!" Li Hao kept apologizing while enduring Uncle Li's anger.
"You are wrong! What made you wrong? I was wrong! I was wrong in overestimating you! I was wrong in asking the old woman to give you a job! It's my fault!" Uncle Li was furious. He didn't expect his son to do such a thing. He lost all his face.
"You idiot, you fool, you shameful thing!" After waking up, Aunt Li couldn't help but took the broom from Uncle Li's hand and started beating him.
It was a mixed doubles match between father and mother, with one hitting the other. No matter how Li Hao begged for mercy, neither of them stopped. They beat Li Hao until his whole body was bruised. Only then did he sit down, panting, with the help of Ji Xiaomu.
"How could I have given birth to such a fool like you? I gave you such a good store to help look after, and you get five taels of silver a month. Who can afford such conditions? You and Xiu'er can live together, take care of the kids and live a good life. What else are you not satisfied with? You actually gamble? How did I teach you since you were a child? Have you forgotten everything? Do you think you're floating away from home and no one can control you, right? You even bully Xiu'er. You've really grown up!"
As she spoke, she became more and more angry. Aunt Li could not help but start beating with the broom.
"Mom, mom, I was wrong, please stop hitting me! Xiu'er, Xiu'er, please plead for me! I really know I was wrong!" Li Hao was beaten so hard that he was unable to fight back, and he covered his head and begged for mercy.
"You are really a loser! You dare to ask Xiu'er to plead for you? Xiu'er, come here, he must have bullied you, beat him up too! Help me beat him hard!" Aunt Li snorted coldly, and pulled the silent Lin Xiu'er over, put the broom in her hand, and asked her to help beat him.
"Mom..." Lin Xiu'er looked at Aunt Li helplessly. Although she was angry and disappointed, she still couldn't bring herself to do anything to Li Hao.
"Just think about it, if it's any later, the money he owes will become two thousand taels, and he will have to sell you and Huzi..." Aunt Li said directly. People in and out of the village were addicted to gambling. Some had their wives and children broken up, and some had their families destroyed. She had used these things as teaching materials to warn Li Hao since he was a child that he must never gamble, because that was the fate of those people.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao still committed the crime.
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Lin Xiu'er remembered how Li Hao had gotten angry just now, and the broom in her hand seemed to become much lighter. Lin Xiu'er became more and more angry, and with the encouragement of Aunt Li, she raised the broom and hit Li Hao hard.
"Ah! Xiu'er, you hit me too!" Li Hao didn't expect that his good wife, Lin Xiu'er, who always stood on his side, would also help beat him.
"I let you gamble, I let you scold me, I let you leave me alone at home, I let you even threaten your own son, I let you be so arrogant! Li Hao, I, Lin Xiu'er, have been with you for so long, and I believe I have never done anything wrong to you. What about you? What did you say to Hu Zi that day? Say it to me again if you have the guts!" After the first hit, Lin Xiu'er was like turning on a switch, and she continued to hit with the broom.
"What, you dare to scold me, Hu Zi? Beat him! Beat him hard!" Aunt Li was so angry that Li Hao actually dared to scold her precious grandson!
