"Stop!" Little Bei could not take it anymore and stopped him.
Shao Nan, who was about to grab Little Bei's hand, helplessly pulled his hand. He did not want Little Bei to interfere. He could see a sneaky glint in the eyes of Eldest Brother Shao, but since Little Bei had already interfered, he could only step forward helplessly.
“Oh, Shao Nan, Shao Bei, you've returned from school. I'm teaching this disobedient child a lesson. Don't pay attention to him.”
"You ..." Little Bei wanted to speak but was stopped by Shao Nan. Shao Nan looked at Eldest Brother-in-law Shao. “It is illegal to hit someone, especially children. It makes crime worse.”
“It's not like I hit a stranger. The person I hit was part of our family. Whether I hit or kill him is up to me. ”
He may be afraid of others, but why is he afraid of the child bride?
In front of Little Bei and Shao Nan, Eldest Brother-in-law Shao struck him even harder. He then cursed. “This kid needs a beating. Only after I hit him will he realize how strong I am..”.
"Enough. If you keep hitting him, you'll end up killing him.” Mu Jingzhe was originally busy in the room and did not hear the commotion next door.
However, women workers have heard that something is not right. They went to look and see that Little Bei and Shao Nan had returned, so they called Mu Jingzhe.
Mu Jingzhe pinched his brows and looked at Eldest Brother-in-law Shao speechlessly.
Eldest Brother-in-law Shao curled up for a moment when he saw Mu Jingzhe, but he quickly calmed down. “You have no right to interfere in our family affairs. So what if I hit him? This is the bride of my family's child. He's a member of my family. If he doesn't comply, I'll hit him.”
“I don't care if you hit Fu, Lu, Shou, or Xi, but I am indeed able to interfere if you hit this kid.”
“She's my son's bride. He belongs to my family. What right do you have to interfere?”
Mu Jingzhe looked at Eldest Brother-in-law Shao. “You broke the law. By raising a child bride, you have violated the relevant clause on the freedom of marriage in the 'Marriage Law' and violated the rights of women and children. Therefore, the existence of the child bride is illegal by itself.”
“How is it illegal? How do I break the law? Didn't the other families in our village also have child brides? If you can, go poke your nose in their affairs. ” Eldest Brother-in-law Shao doesn't believe him. "Mu Jingzhe, don't think you can scare me by saying this."
He grinned satisfied. “I only raised a child bride. After a few years, when they are the same age, I will hold a wedding for them and keep her at home as my daughter-in-law!”
He pulled Little Zhaodi. "Really?"
Little Zhaodi did not say anything for a moment. Eldest Brother-in-law Shao was not happy. "Are you mute?" As if wanting to show Mu Jingzhe and the others, he picked up a broom and prepared to hit him again. Mu Jingzhe stepped forward impatiently and caught the hand of Eldest Brother-in-law Shao. "I said stop. Didn't you hear me?”
Eldest Brother Shao's face changed for a moment, and he felt that his wrist would break. “Release quickly. Who are you to tell me to go around ?! ”
“I've said that you've broken the law. If you continue to abuse children and use them for child labor, your crime will only increase.”
“You're trying to scare me again. I'm not scared. Release me!"
His hand was so sore that he could not hold it anymore. Afraid it really broke, he thrashed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break away from Mu Jingzhe's hands. Eldest Brother-in-law Shao could only try his best. Suddenly, Mu Jingzhe let go of his hand.
For a moment, Eldest Brother-in-law Shao used too much strength and could not control his hand. He flew straight ahead. Coincidentally, the ground wall of the Shao Residence was right in front of him, and he crashed into it.
Eldest Brother-in-law Shao used his hand to block it, but that only prevented him from smashing his face into pancakes. However, his nose hit the wall. Not only was he covered in soil, but his nose immediately started bleeding, looking exactly like Little Zhaodi's nose.
The tears and mucus of brother-in-law Shao flowed together. He felt pain and shame, and it took him a while to recover. "Mu Jingzhe!"
He is filled with hatred. He turned around and saw Shao Shou peeking. Just as he was about to ask Shao Shou to help him, Shao Shou slipped away.
“Little boy!”
“You are not allowed to eat or enter the house tonight. Just stand here. I'll deal with you later.”
After saying that, he left gloomily. Little Zhaodi lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound.
Little Bei looked at the back of Eldest Brother-in-law Shao and frowned his nose. "Mom, am I causing trouble?"
He just did not want to see Little Zhaodi get beaten up, but from the looks of it, what he had done did not seem to help him.
In fact, they had helped him in a certain sense. However, now that this had happened, Little Zhaodi would probably suffer. Eldest Brother-in-law Shao is petty and will definitely take revenge. Since there was nothing he could do about them, he would definitely make things difficult for Little Zhaodi.
Therefore, this help is indeed an obstacle. However, Mu Jingzhe would not dampen Little Bei's spirit. That's good because he has a positive and kind side.
“You are not causing any problems, but in the future, you can better think of the most effective ways to help others. Also, think about ways you can protect yourself while helping others.” Mu Jingzhe stroked Little Bei's head and glanced at Shao Nan. “For example, if there are a lot of people on the other side today, you might also get hurt.
“Thinking ways to help others properly is the homework I gave you today. You two can discuss it and do your homework separately.”
"okay." Little Bei and Shao Nan nodded.
Little Zhaodi looked at them with envy in her eyes. Little Bei looked at him. "Mom, what about her ..."
Shao Nan looked at Mu Jingzhe. “Don't worry, I'm here.”
Mu Jingzhe crouched down and looked at Little Zhaodi. “You're Zhaodi, right? I'll call you Little Zhaodi in the future. Does your stomach hurt? Is your head hurting? Are your eyes blurry?”
Mu Jingzhe checked Little Zhaodi's condition. Oldest brother-in-law Shao had severely beaten him, so he was afraid that there would be internal bleeding or a head injury.
Little Zhaodi shook her head. His entire body was in pain, but he was used to being beaten and could still tolerate it.
Mu Jingzhe nodded. "good. If you are sick anywhere, call for help. Let them take you to the hospital, okay?”
Upon seeing Little Zhaodi nod in bewilderment, Mu Jingzhe wanted to pull Shao Nan and Little Bei home. “Two of you, do your homework obediently. I'll travel to the city.”
He can't bring this kid home for now. Otherwise, Eldest Brother-in-law Shao would only become more exaggerated.
Little Bei wanted to ask if he could bring Little Zhaodi home, but when he heard that, he instead asked, "Mom, why are you going to the city?"
"Are you going to the police station?" Shao Nan was extremely sensitive.
“Mm.” Mu Jingzhe nodded. Eldest Brother-in-law Shao said that it was their family business and there was nothing he could do for it, but Mu Jingzhe could really do something about it.
He did not delay. He decided to leave and return quickly to avoid an accident.
This could be interpreted as Mu Jingzhe interfering in the affairs of others, but Mu Jingzhe did not want such a bad habit to spread. He could not see Eldest Brother-in-law Shao pacing around and beating a child to death. He had to consider Little Bei's emotions as well. He really did not want the children to see such a thing.
There is nothing wrong with being alone, but sometimes, it is better to lend a hand and help. You can never be sure that the next person in danger is not you. If everyone just stood and watched, it would be terrible when it was their turn.
It was impossible to reason with someone like Eldest Sister-in-law Shao, so Mu Jingzhe did not bother to waste his breath on her. He decided to solve the problem from the root.
Mu Jingzhe went to the police station to report the case.
