Mrs. Gu's eyes were already red, and she didn't even glance at Gu's father, nor did she see him collapse in pain on the ground, as she relentlessly hit Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was struck once, feeling intense pain, with no spare thought to dodge. Mrs. Gu swung again, this time hitting her left arm. Gu Yan instinctively wanted to touch it, but it tugged on the wound on her right hand, and the pain in her right shoulder also surged.
She took another hit on the back, and the pain was beyond words.
Though getting beaten was routine, in recent years Gu Yan had been working outside and hadn't returned home much, so naturally, Mrs. Gu hadn't had the chance to hit her. Now it seemed she wanted to make up for all the years she missed.
Mrs. Gu wanted to swing the stick heavily again, but it froze mid-air, unable to move.
