Pain is meaningless, pain is worthless. Don't believe the nonsense that experiencing pain will refine your will and make you grow; it's the most vicious lie.
However, sometimes if someone sees your pain and it elicits sympathy, then that feeling becomes meaningful.
So, the beating Li Peifeng took didn't serve the purpose Li Qiyuan mentioned of helping him grow. Its biggest significance was that it prevented the three girls from kicking him while he was down, using the opportunity to accuse Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi of their son's past misdeeds, or from opposing each other in the Li family and turning it into a messy drama of three women fighting over one man. Instead, they just watched the fight while eating, ensuring the dinner went smoothly.
"Teacher Li... Uncle, stop fighting and eat."
Zhao Qingge was the first to put down her chopsticks and the first to formally speak up to stop Li Qiyuan.
