"Little brother, if you want to blame someone, blame your sister-in-law... Your nephew is still young and can't stand the constant disturbances at home..."
"That bunch is not easy to get rid of. If they really took the child away... our Old Li Family can't afford to lose its roots..."
Hearing his brothers' and sisters-in-law's words, the corners of Li Gang's mouth turned even colder.
They sure made it sound nice.
If it weren't for that wall hastily built overnight standing there, he might have actually believed their sincere concern.
Li Gang said nothing and turned to walk into his own yard, his own room.
Sitting on the icy kang bed, he belatedly realized the pain in his body.
The beating he endured last night, he now felt the delayed ache.
Taking off his cotton-padded jacket, he saw that it was covered with footprints.
Picking up a shard of a mirror, he saw his lips swollen like thumbs, complete with obvious dried blood scabs.
