Chapter 101. To be intimidated
In Qi’s view, her daughter’s kick was still too light. It should have left the child speechless from the pain, obedient from just one punishment, so as not to act recklessly and cause any major trouble in the future.
Old Qi’s face reddened with embarrassment. The son-in-law was being so disrespectful, causing a mix of anger and frustration in his heart that he could not express.
He was still thinking about his daughter’s belongings. The family could barely afford to eat until they were half-full each day, and his stomach was certainly uncomfortable too, so naturally, he nodded for the sake of his stomach.
Moreover, he had seen the disagreements among the children. The main problem was Dabao’s aggressiveness. Not only did he threaten people, but he also struck first. Even if he wanted to protect him this time, he couldn’t, especially with the big brother-in-law watching.
Qi Dabao was somewhat afraid of his big brother-in-law, especially when he saw the cold glint in his eyes. It made him burrow into his grandmother’s embrace, feeling a chill in his heart.
However, having been spoiled since childhood, he developed a character that refused to suffer losses. Not only did his beloved grandpa scold him, but the big brother-in-law also subtly urged grandpa to discipline him. Immediately, his rebellious nature flared, and the more he was told not to do something, the more he insisted on doing it. Besides, with his grandmother’s protection and his parents around, how could he hold back his temper?
Suddenly, he wriggled out of his grandmother’s arms, glaring angrily at his big brother-in-law, not even thinking about their family’s belongings, just wanting to vent his own frustration.
He shouted, "Who do you think is being overbearing? My aunt’s things are my things, so what if I take what’s mine? This is my home. What right does an outsider have to talk to me? Xiao Si and the others are younger than me, so they should listen to me. I’ll hit them if I want to, scold if I want to, and I won’t let that money-losing good-for-nothing off." He then looked at Qi Grandma, "Granny, go beat that good-for-nothing to death right now. Anyway, I don’t want her as my wife anymore."
By the last sentence, the old woman was so frightened that she covered her grandson’s mouth.
"What nonsense are you saying, what nonsense? She is your cousin," Qi Grandma pretended to scold Qi Dabao but dared not meet her eldest daughter’s fiery gaze.
