  Zou Dazhu is a peasant by birth, and his thinking has some feudal ideas. He attaches great importance to the inheritance of incense, but this does not mean that he can sacrifice his daughter's happiness to save his son.

  In Zou Dazhu's heart, Zou Rong's importance and status had long surpassed those of Zou Xiaohai.

  Zou Rong was very well-behaved and sensible from a young age. When she was very small, Zou Rong started picking tea leaves to earn money to buy stationery and exercise books for her studies. After entering junior high school, Zou Rong would get up early every morning to deliver newspapers or milk, and at night, she would also help distribute flyers.

  Starting from the second semester of her first year in junior high school, Zou Rong was able to pay her school tuition fees through her own efforts.

  After entering high school, Zou Rong started part-time tutoring to earn money. She was very frugal and wouldn't spend a single penny carelessly, not even on clothes or hair accessories. Almost every month, she would hand over all her earnings to Zou Dazhu and his wife, sometimes as little as 700-800 yuan, but often over 1,000 yuan.

  Although it's not a lot, this money has greatly alleviated our family's economic burden.

  In comparison, Zou Xiaohai had been a source of heartache for Zou Dazhu and his wife since he was young.

  Fighting and causing trouble, stealing and cheating, Zou Xiaohai dared to do almost anything bad, and spent all day mixing with people in society. As soon as he got home, he would ask for money, and if there was no money to give him, he would curse loudly, without any familial affection at all.

  Zou Dazhu and his wife didn't know how many tears they had secretly shed, and every time they couldn't help but sigh that if Zou Rong were a boy, it would be great to have such an obedient son. Even if the couple died, they would die without regret.

  So, after hearing Zou Xiaohai's ruthless and unjust words, Zou Dazhu became angry.

  Even if the Zou family line really came to an end, he would not deliver Zou Rong into the hands of a beast like Guang Ge. As a father, even in death, he had to protect his own daughter.

  Mother and daughter are connected at heart, Su Mei is also furious, she loves this daughter more than Zou Dazhu, she looks at Zou Xiaohai with extreme disappointment, angrily saying: "Xiaohai, you're so disappointing to Mom, has your conscience been eaten away by wolves and dogs? How can you say such nonsense?"

  Facing the anger of Zou Dazhu and his wife, Zou Xiaohai showed no remorse at all. Instead, he shouted at Su Mei: "You stinky bitch, you still have the nerve to yell at me? If you were willing to lend me money, would I have gone to borrow from loan sharks?"

  Upon hearing this, Su Mei felt a surge of anger that she couldn't vent, her body swayed to one side, her face turned pale, and she almost spat blood in rage.

  "Mom." Zou Rong hurriedly supported her mother, and tears fell again in her beautiful eyes.

  "You this disobedient child."

  Who says honest people don't have a temper? Looking at Zou Xiaohai's inhumane appearance, Zou Dazhu thoroughly exploded. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zou Xiaohai's face with a loud slap.

  Slap

  A crisp slap echoed through the quiet wooden building, making it sound especially piercing. Zou Xiaohai's face quickly turned red and swollen, indicating that Zou Dazhu had used a great deal of force in this slap.

  Zou Xiaohai was almost stunned, and when he came to his senses, his eyes were filled with a hateful glow. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, you dare to hit me? Do you believe I'll stab you to death?"

  Zou Dazhu's eyes were filled with old tears, he was thoroughly disappointed.

  "Fine, kill me then. With a son like you, I'd rather be dead." Zhōu Dàzhù wasn't just talking angrily; raising such an inhumane and disobedient son made his life more miserable than death itself.

  "Damn it, you think I don't dare." Zhou Xiaohai's eyes were full of ferocity, and he had lost all sense of humanity.

  Just then, Guang Ge, who had been watching the play all along, finally spoke up.

  "Zou Xiaohai, you're indeed a rare breed, inhumane enough, haha, I like young people like you."

  Guang Ge laughed loudly, moved his foot away from Zou Xiaohai's chest and said: "I'll give you a chance, go tie up your sister and send her to my bed, I'll write off the debt, and I can also let you follow me in the future, how about it?"

  "Really, Guang Ge?" Zou Xiaohai's eyes lit up instantly, and his face was filled with excitement and agitation.

  "Then it depends on whether you have that kind of ability. By the way, I appreciate young people who are ruthless and merciless."

  His words further irritated Zou Xiaohai's depraved nerves, and he saw Zou Xiaohai flip over and get up from the ground. Those wolf-like eyes that emitted a fierce glow were already locked directly onto Zou Rong's body. With a gloomy smile, he said: "Little sister, you'd better submit to Brother Guang. As long as you satisfy Brother Guang, you'll definitely be able to live a life of luxury in the future."

  Zou Rong did not speak, her eyes gradually became extremely cold and determined.

  "You'd better step over my dead body if you want to move even a single inch."

  Zou Dazhu's tone was equally resolute, and he stood up from the ground. As a father, he wanted to protect his daughter, be her strongest shield, even if it meant shedding every last drop of blood in his body.

  Sumi also stood up, she would no longer plead for this beast-like son, as long as Zou Xiaohai dared to take a step forward, she would treat this son as if he were already dead, completely severing the father-son relationship.

  "Old man, you think I don't dare?"

  Zou Xiaohai never put his father in his eyes, he only had Zou Rong and the life of flying high in the future.

  So Zou Xiaohai took a step forward and somehow his hand had grasped a sharp little knife.

  At this moment, Zou Dazhu and his wife were completely desperate, there was no longer any delusion, the person in front of them was no longer their familiar son, but a beast wearing human skin, a beast without humanity.

  "Old man, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to let me come or not?"

  Zou Xiaohai walked up to Zou Dazhu, the small knife in his hand gesturing in front of him. From his fierce gaze, it was clear that if Zou Dazhu didn't back down, he would definitely stab him without hesitation.

  "Beast, kill me then." Zou Dazhu's voice had become extremely cold and detached, his eyes no longer held any affection for this son.

  "Fine, you asked for it."

  Zou Xiaohai's eyes gleamed with an even more fierce light, and after a cold snort, the small knife in his hand stabbed towards Zou Dazhu.

  Just as the small knife was about to stab into Zou Dazhu's abdomen, suddenly, Zou Xiaohai let out a miserable cry, and the arm holding the knife emitted a crisp cracking sound of broken bones. The small knife in her hand seemed to have been shot by something, and it flew out stiffly.

  This sudden change left everyone present stunned for a moment.

  Just then, a slightly frail figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

  "Who is it?"

  Guang Ge, after all, had been in the underworld for decades, his vigilance was much stronger than ordinary people. He almost felt the abnormality at the gate in the first time, and after a shout, his eyes quickly swept over.

  Zou Rong's gaze also looked back, and the figure gave her an extremely familiar feeling. The next moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with incredible colors.

  "Jiang Xu!"

  Zou Rong never dreamed that Jiang Xu would appear here at this moment.

  Zou Dazhu and his wife also saw Jiang Xu at this time, and they both recognized him. Jiang Xu was the young man who had been bumped into by them yesterday, and he was also their daughter's classmate.

  The person who came was Jiang Xu, he had been here for a while, basically just a little later than Zou Rong.

  He came in through the main gate, and Jiang Xiu directly controlled the souls of the two thugs at the door. By the time they woke up, Jiang Xiu had already arrived unnoticed outside the main hall.

  Everything that happened inside the hall was seen by Jiang Xu.

  He didn't expect that Zou Rong would have such a brother, Jiang Xu thought that his past self was already despicable enough, but looking at Zou Xiaohai's behavior just now, he found that his past self seemed to be a good person after all, and this Zou Xiaohai was the real scum, not even as good as an animal.

  Jiang Xu naturally couldn't just watch as Zou Xiaohai stabbed Zou Dazhu, so at the moment Zou Xiaohai made his move, Jiang Xu also made his move. Two One-Yang Fingers, one shattered Zou Xiaohai's hand bones, and the other sent the small knife in Zou Xiaohai's hand flying.

  However, Jiang Xu's One Yang Finger was invisible, and no one in the field could see Jiang Xu's move.
