Gao Xique over there was both hitting and crying, tussling with Shen Chun, while Shen's father, who had been in a stupor on the other side, finally reacted. He threw the cup in his hand to the ground, stood up, walked over, forcefully pulled Gao Xique away, and slapped his daughter on the face. The muffled sound of the slap hitting flesh finally made the crying Mrs. Shen on the ground quiet down.
"Shameless thing, today I'll beat you to death. So many decent people with good jobs you don't want, but you choose to do those shameless things. You make me lose face, thinking I have a good temper, don't you? Just like your mother, apparently what kind of things raise what kind of people. Today I'll beat you to death, letting you go out and do those shameful errands." Shen's father scolded as he spoke, each slap on Shen Chun's face coming with a dull echo.
"Husband, stop hitting her, you'll beat Chun'er to death!" said Mrs. Shen, stepping forward to stop him.
