Chapter 460 The Crying Child Gets Candy (4)
Zhao Changgang went to the window and opened it.
There is no railing on the fourth floor.
The two children cried until their voices were hoarse, and they clung tightly to the window frame, refusing to let go.
Zhao Changgang had lost his mind. He trampled Zhao Siting under his feet and then slapped Zhao Siyu hard, rendering him unable to resist.
The window was opened, ready to be thrown out first.
Zhang Hongying got up from the ground. For the sake of her child, she picked up a kettle full of hot water from the coffee table and smashed it down on Zhao Changgang's head.
Gangzi took the opportunity to increase the amount of water and brought it directly to the boiling point.
And so, a small pot of water that shouldn't have been so hot was poured over Zhao Changgang's head at a full 100 degrees Celsius.
"Ahhh!" Zhao Changgang screamed in pain.
Zhang Hongying also burned herself, but she ignored the pain and brought her son back.
Su Dingding wasn't idle either; she recorded the whole process into video clips and sent them all to Xia Hongqiao.
Xia Hongqiao went to the bathroom every now and then. After watching the video, he was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.
It was horrible; his children almost died.
But things have escalated so much. What will happen to the two children if something happens to Zhao Changgang and Zhang Hongying?
Could it be that we're not going to hand him over to raise?
His forehead was covered in cold sweat. If the rich woman found out that he had slept with other women, she would definitely not leave him the inheritance.
How can this be good?
Seeing that the rich woman didn't have much time left to live, he had invested so many years of effort and absolutely couldn't give up halfway!
After being scalded, Zhao Changgang rushed into the bathroom.
He intended to use cool water to alleviate the pain and the area of the burn, but suddenly discovered that the water supply had been cut off.
This made him even more distraught, and he clutched his head and screamed in the bathroom.
Su Dingding put away her phone, rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a basin of water from washing clothes, and poured it over Zhao Changgang's head.
Then she threw the bed sheet that Zhang Hongying had just washed onto his head and dragged him to the freezer.
Gangzi had cleared out the contents of the freezer beforehand, just enough to fit Zhao Changgang's head inside.
The sudden cool air made Zhao Changgang feel much better.
Despite the pain, Zhang Hongying hugged Zhao Siyu and led Zhao Siting away, trying to leave this home.
As they reached the door, Su Dingding stopped them.
"Don't leave!"
"Get out of my way!" Zhang Hongying shouted viciously.
Before Su Dingding could answer, she heard a knock on the door; the police had arrived.
Zhang Hongying glanced guiltily at Zhao Changgang, reluctant to open the door, but Su Dingding had already opened it.
"Hello, we are..."
After the two police officers introduced themselves, they saw Zhang Hongying and the two children's faces and knew that they were the ones who had been beaten.
Before they could speak, Su Dingding started crying.
"Officer, you've finally come! My mom scalded my dad to death, waaaaah..."
"I didn't!" Zhang Hongying protested, her face pale.
The police followed Su Dingding to the freezer and found Zhao Changgang with a sheet wrapped around his head, bent over and motionless inside the freezer.
They went over and touched Zhao Changgang. "Comrade, are you alright?"
Zhao Changgang did not answer. They tried to lift the person out of the freezer, but found that he was frozen solid.
The bath towel froze to Zhao Changgang's head, and the bath towel froze to the freezer.
"Do you need hot water?" Su Dingding asked, standing behind them.
The police officer was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand, "No need."
After the power was cut off, they used warm water to separate the bath towel from Zhao Changgang's head and found that he had already passed out and his vital signs were very weak.
After calling an ambulance, they finally inquired about the details of the incident.
“He was the one who wanted to beat the three of us to death… I had no choice but to hit him on the head with the kettle to protect the children, but I remember that kettle doesn’t keep water warm, the water inside shouldn’t be that hot…” Zhang Hongying felt wronged.
“My dad beat her because she had a child with another man!” Su Dingding stood aside and contradicted her.
“Your mother is the one who had a child with another man!” Zhao Siyu retorted.
Su Dingding almost laughed out loud, and nodded, saying, "It was my mother who had you two little bastards with another man!"
Zhao Siyu and Zhao Siting both burst into tears. They weren't bastards!
Dad used to like them a lot, but Zhao Xiu talked nonsense, which made Dad angry and beat them.
After the ambulance arrived, Zhao Changgang was taken to the hospital.
Others went to the police station to give statements, and how the matter will be handled will depend on Zhao Changgang's investigation results.
However, Zhang Hongying was temporarily detained because her behavior was too egregious.
The fact that it could burn someone's head so badly that the skin peeled off and one eye was even turned inside out shows that it was intentional.
No matter how critical the situation was, there should have been options.
Both children were also injured, but Su Dingding had tampered with the examination and only found a few bruises before letting Su Dingding take them home.
At home, she was like a queen, having her two injured children serve her.
These two little beasts, even before they were born, the original owner was already working like a slave for them.
After they were born, she spent most of her time taking care of them, feeding them, cleaning them, and taking care of everything. There was nothing the original owner didn't worry about.
This even made many adults forget that she was just a child, and that doing well was expected, while doing poorly meant she deserved to be scolded and beaten.
Even after they grew up, they didn't treat the original owner as their older sister. In their eyes, Zhao Xiu was a fool and not family.
Since that's the case, Su Dingding decided to let them experience what it's like to be treated like slaves.
"I'm sleepy."
"My body hurts so much..."
"What are you being so dramatic about? Hurry up and massage my legs and shoulders," Su Dingding snapped impatiently, then ordered Zhao Siyu, "Go and make me a packet of instant noodles."
"My mom won't let me pour hot water, and I don't know how to make instant noodles either," Zhao Siyu said in a low voice, sounding a little scared.
"If you don't know how, then learn. If I don't see the noodles ready in five minutes, I'll make you one too." Su Dingding slammed his hand on the table.
Zhao Siyu pouted and went to boil water.
He had never done these kinds of chores before, but he would watch Zhao Xiu do them, not for any other reason than to find an opportunity to complain and get his mother to scold her.
For example, he would complain about small things like spilling water, making him a smaller poached egg than Zhao Siting made, or hurting his foot when she put on his shoes.
He would secretly laugh while his mother scolded Zhao Xiu, and later, after discovering that he could also scold Zhao Xiu, he became even more arrogant.
I never imagined that he would end up in such a miserable state.
I was feeling aggrieved as I boiled water when I suddenly heard my mother's phone ring.
Su Dingding glanced at the caller ID; it was Xia Hongqiao calling. She looked at Zhao Siyu, signaling him to answer.
Zhao Siyu dared not disobey.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Siyu, I'm your Uncle Xia. Where's your mother?" Xia Hongqiao asked.
"Mom's at the police station, Uncle Xia, I'm so scared..." Zhao Siyu cried.
Where are you? Who's with you?
“At home, there’s only…” Zhao Siyu glanced at Su Dingding before continuing, “my older sister, my younger sister, and me.”
Hearing that there were no adults around, Xia Hongqiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be afraid, child. Uncle Xia will come find you right away and buy you lots of delicious food and fun things. Be a good girl and wait for me at home!"
