The two of them gritted their teeth, enduring the pain, and jumped out of bed! They were only wearing their underwear as they dashed out of the house. Liu Haizhong, seeing these two little brats daring to run away, thought to himself that they were just like his older brother—no good at all!
He grabbed his belt and chased after them!
When Liu Guangfu saw Liu Haizhong coming after them, he foolishly shouted to his father, "My brother and sister-in-law ran away! Go find my brother! Why are you hitting us?"
With that shout, everyone in the courtyard who heard the commotion realized that Liu Guangqi and his wife had fled!
Liu Haizhong's eyes glinted with fury. "You two little rascals better not run! Just wait until I beat you both to death, you ingrates!"
Hearing that Liu Guangqi had run away with his wife, Yi Zhonghai felt even more pleased. He quickly stepped in front of Liu Haizhong and said, "Hey, Old Liu, how can you beat the kids so severely this early in the morning? That's not how you educate children!"
Liu Haizhong shot Yi Zhonghai a glance. "Old Yi, you don't have kids, so you wouldn't understand. You have to hit them to educate them! Just look at my eldest son; I was too soft on him when he was young. And what happened? He ran away!"
If these two little rascals were beaten less, they might end up just like their brother!
Yi Zhonghai felt a pang in his heart at Liu Haizhong's remark about not having children. "Oh, so you're mocking me for being childless? Just wait until you're old; I wonder who will take care of your three kids. Go ahead and keep beating them!"
Thinking this, Yi Zhonghai nodded at Liu Haizhong. "You're right, Old Liu! As the saying goes, 'A jade must be carved to become a gem.' You can't raise a child without discipline! I think you're still too lenient!"
"Old Yi, you're right!" Liu Haizhong replied. "I didn't expect you to understand a bit about educating children even without any of your own!"
"Damn it, you son of a gun, Liu Haizhong! If you can't speak properly, then just don't say anything at all! I don't need you reminding me that I don't have kids!"
At that moment, Second Aunt rushed out and said to Liu Haizhong, "Head of the family, stop hitting Guangfu! It's still early in the morning! You should hurry to the bus station and see if you can find Guangqi!"
Only then did Liu Haizhong realize that now wasn't the time to be punishing his son. He quickly got dressed and rushed out!
Unfortunately, he was still too late; in the end, he returned home feeling dejected.
Meanwhile, after their father left to look for Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu finally dared to return home. They hastily put on their clothes and rushed out, fearing their father might suddenly come back and catch them!
They knew their father had been in a bad mood lately; whenever he was upset, he would definitely take it out on them! To avoid getting beaten, they decided to stay temporarily at their best friend's house.
As night fell and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu still hadn't returned home, Liu Haizhong gestured for Second Aunt to close the door. Seeing the anger in his eyes, she trembled as she shut it.
Then she faced the sting of the belt as it struck her; Second Aunt covered her mouth and silently shed tears.
Liu Haizhong only stopped hitting her when his anger subsided. Looking at Second Aunt with a hint of indifference, he said, "Don't blame me for hitting you; who told you to give birth to such ungrateful children? What's wrong with this family? Why do they all want to run away?"
