Zhou Gou cried tears of joy when his daughter took the initiative to hug him, but when Widow Wang cried, she was truly crying.
She never expected the dog to come back on Tuesday!
Wasn't Tuesday Dog dead? So many years have passed, how come he's back?!
If Zhou Ergou finds out about her affairs, he'll either beat her to death or send her to jail!
Widow Wang's tears streamed down her face, and her gaze towards Zhou Gou was filled with tears.
Honestly, Widow Wang had never been so reluctant to see Zhou Ergou return.
Zhou Gou hugged Zhou Huai and cried for a long time. After letting go, he touched her face, feeling very sorry for his daughter. "You've grown so tall, why are you so thin..."
After asking just that one question, Zhou Gou dared not ask any more. His chest tightened, and his eyes reddened. He knew that Zhou Huai and Wang Zhaodi must not have been doing well during the four years he had disappeared without a trace.
The heavy emotions weighed on him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Before Zhou Huai could react, Zhou Gou hugged him again, saying, "Dad's back. I'll definitely make sure you live a good life from now on."
Jiang Ci saw Zhou Huai staring blankly, clearly still in a dreamlike state of disbelief. But it didn't matter much. Seeing how much Zhou Ergou cared about his daughter, Jiang Ci thought her future would be much easier.
As for Widow Wang...
She was having affairs outside and treating Zhou Huai badly; Zhou Ergou knew nothing about these things.
What happens to Widow Wang in the future depends entirely on what she says to Zhou Ergou and what Zhou Ergou thinks.
This is not her business; it is not polite to meddle in other people's family affairs.
Just then, Widow Wang's pitiful voice rang out, "Er Gou... I... let's get a divorce."
Chunhua, pale-faced: ?
Zhao Wei: ?
The police officer in charge of watching this group: ?
Tao Susu, who was about to leave: ?
Even Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli looked at Widow Wang with great surprise.
Upon hearing Widow Wang's words, Zhou Gou's expression changed. He pulled Zhou Huai over and asked incredulously, "Zhao Di, what are you saying?"
Two streams of tears flowed down Widow Wang's scratched face. "I'm already an unclean woman. With all the gossip spreading outside, I can't drag you down, and I can't drag you and Xiao Huai down with me."
Widow Wang looked at Zhou Gou with teary eyes, then tightly grasped Zhou Huai's hand, choking back tears as she said, "Little Huai, it's all my fault for being useless. I've made sure you don't eat or dress well. All these years you've been with me and I haven't given you a good life. It's all my fault. We've suffered so much because I'm useless. Now that your father is back, you should stay with him. With him around, he will never let you suffer."
Widow Wang became increasingly emotional as she spoke, hugging Zhou Huai and crying, vividly portraying the image of a single mother who raised her daughter alone and was now separated from her.
Zhou Gou felt a pang in his heart as he watched Widow Wang and Zhou Huai hug and cry together.
It's all his fault for not being home, leaving the burden of the whole family on Zhao Di's shoulders, which is why she's having such a hard time.
If he were still alive, would Zhao Di be bullied? Would she have to endure all those rumors and gossip?
The more Zhou Gou thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Di had been bullied and that it was all his fault that his daughter had become like this. He walked up to her, grabbed the widow's hand, and said earnestly and firmly, "This is not your fault. I will not believe the rumors outside. I believe you!"
That's why Widow Wang is so good at controlling men. This preemptive strike gave Zhou Gou complete control, and he was practically overflowing with guilt.
Zhou Gou promised that he would never divorce Widow Wang, which moved Widow Wang so much that she lowered her head and began to sob.
After Widow Wang finished crying and calmed down, Zhou Gou asked, "Who inflicted the injuries on your face and head?"
Widow Wang was eager for Zhou Gou to ask.
She pinched her thigh hard, and her eyes immediately turned even redder. She turned over and collapsed onto the hospital bed, crying so hard it was like the sky was falling.
Zhou Gou's expression immediately darkened, and he turned to look at the police officers not far away.
He's a real veteran who's fought on the battlefield. Just a few months ago, he was still fighting in some conflict. His gloomy expression is quite intimidating.
"Hello, police officer. We are from the same unit. I am a soldier named Zhou Gou."
"Comrade Zhou, hello, hello!" The policeman quickly stood up. "My surname is Ren, you can just call me Xiao Ren."
"Comrade Ren, seeing you here means there's a case in this ward. I'd like to ask you, is this case related to my wife and daughter?"
Here it comes!
Chunhua and Zhao Wei looked increasingly grim. Zhao Wei was so frightened that he wanted to disappear from the ward, his lips trembling.
The police officer glanced at Chunhua and Zhao Wei. Zhou Gou was the widow Wang's husband, and this couldn't be kept from him.
So the police told the whole story of what happened in the grove.
Zhou Mingli was both a victim and a witness; he just stood there listening. When the police mentioned that Widow Wang had immediately accused Zhou Mingli of raping her, both Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci's faces turned dark.
Widow Wang said sadly and softly, "Everyone knows that Zhou Lao Er is no good. That night, I remembered that I had left something in the woods while I was at work during the day. Suddenly, someone covered my mouth and came up to me... to me... I thought it was Zhou Lao Er, so I shouted it out."
Her statement was not very convincing; that's what the police told her when they questioned her after she woke up.
Widow Wang insisted that Zhao Wei had raped her, but Zhao Wei and Chunhua claimed that Widow Wang was slandering him.
In any case, neither Widow Wang nor Zhao Wei revealed their plan.
