Yan Xia was so angry that he laughed. “You’re saying that these injuries were caused by her carelessness? Then tell me, how did these injuries happen? Can you also show me how?”
Ji Guomin continued to deny it. “Then she was beaten by her classmates at school!”
“You’re saying that she was bullied at school?”
“Yes, yes, yes. It was bullying at school. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.”
Yan Xia held back his breath and asked, “Then I’d like to ask. As a father, you didn’t care about your daughter being bullied at school? You just let her be?”
“That’s her business. What does it have to do with me?” Ji Guomin said unhappily, “My daughter is a troubled student. It’s normal for people at school to dislike her and want to beat her up.”
“She often rebels against me at home. Look, she even slanders me in front of the police. She deserves a good beating!”
Yan Xia’s anger immediately flared up. “What kind of b*stard words are you saying?! Can you still be considered a father?!”
With a “piak” sound, the end of a belt was whipped toward Ji Guomin’s face, slapping his big mouth.
Ji Guomin was in so much pain that he covered his face with his hand. He felt like his mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
Yan Xia watched the belt and turned to look at the culprit.
Jiang Yu said with a blank face, “Slippery hands.”
Yan Xia almost wanted to applaud her.
This slip of the hand was quite spot on.
“Officer, look at this b*tch. One look and you can tell she’s a piece of trash that has no mother or father. She even dares to hit me in front of you! Officer, you must stand up for me! Quickly take this b*tch away and lock her up!”
As Yan Xia listened to Ji Guomin’s vulgar words, he felt that his ears had been defiled.
This little girl had this thing for a father. Such a waste.
“Piak!”
The second sound was the belt hitting Ji Guomin on the other side of his face.
Now, both sides were balanced.
Jiang Yu said calmly, “Itchy hands.”
This time though, the belt broke.
She felt that her hands were dirty and wanted to wash them but she was worried that if she walked away, the itch would start up again. She could only take out a tissue and slowly wipe her fingers.
Yan Xia looked at Ji Guomin’s swollen cheeks, he now looked like he had a pig’s head. He wanted to laugh but he held it in.
He told himself to be serious, so he said with a straight face, “I’ll give you another chance. Do you admit to what this girl said?”
Ji Guomin still wanted to deny it, but Yan Xia stared at him and said, “I advise you to think this through, or else…”
If Ji Guomin continued to lie, Yan Xia wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. He was trying to trick Ji Guomin into a confession, and his bluff paid off.
“Okay fine, it was me who hit her but so what?”
Ji Guomin had no choice but to admit it, “She’s my daughter. I can discipline her however I want. What do you care?”
“You’re breaking the law!”
“How am I breaking the law?”
Ji Guomin said shamelessly, “What’s wrong with me educating my daughter? I’m the one who had her and raised her. I gave her her life. She’s mine. Why can’t I beat her?”
Ji Guomin was about to walk out as he said, “Let’s have others be the judge of this. It is justifiable for adults to beat their children! They’re not mature yet. We have to teach them the principles of being a good person. There’s an old saying, spare the rod, spoil the child!”
Why aren’t you following the principles of our ancestors? Officer, your level of thinking needs to be improved!”
