His new clothes were torn, his father had grown tired of beating, and the couple faced tears in the New Year.
Ye Jiaxing, facing his crying parents, could not blame them for the pain he was enduring; he could only sigh that his family was too poor and had been bullied because of their poverty.
Ye Jiaxing’s brothers were not much better off; they too were dragged home by their parents and beaten.
