Chapter 307: Evil Stepmother
Hu Lanlan lowered her head, her frail body rising and falling slightly, and Lin Xia, with her thin wrists, could encircle her with just two fingers.
Ever since she became a mother and raised a child, her heart seemed to have softened. She couldn't bear to see the child in pity. "Don't worry, this is the army. Director Pei has also brought people to your home. They will definitely be able to solve it for you."
Hearing her voice, Hu Lanlan was slightly startled and cried much louder. Lin Xia turned around and took out a handkerchief from her bag. The two little ones sometimes had a runny nose or drool, so she always kept a handkerchief in her bag.
"Here." Lin Xia handed the handkerchief to Hu Lanlan. The girl seemed to have not expected her to come back. After a while, she carefully took the handkerchief and said, "Don't worry. Drink some water and wait for Director Pei to come back."
After Lin Xia went out, Hu Lanlan clenched the light blue handkerchief in her hand. The fabric was very soft, reminding her of her mother when she was a child, who was also so gentle.
Not long after, Director Pei came back with a cold face. As expected, Ding Qin was furious. As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help but complain to them: "I have never seen such a cruel stepmother! So vicious!"
Lin Xia also saw what kind of personality Ding Qin had. She was impulsive and liked to speak out. Her behavior in making things difficult for Lin Xia was not very smart. She seemed to be very scheming, but to put it bluntly, she was brainless. But later, when she followed her to visit and do ideological work for the women, it could be seen that she had a good heart.
She also tried her best to help and enlighten those women in need, which was why Lin Xia later changed her mind about her.
"Now that she has her own child, she can't tolerate her ex-wife's child." Ding Qin didn't need anyone to ask, she said, "She must be disgusted by Hu Lanlan being a nuisance at home. Before she had the child, the child served her food and drink at home. When she got pregnant and had the child, she took care of the child and washed diapers for her. Everything else."
"I didn't expect that now that the child has grown up, she would marry him off." Ding Qin was indignant when she spoke of this.
Lin Xia couldn't help but frown when she heard the news. She had met Hu Lanlan when she went to Zhao Hehua's house before. At that time, she just thought that this child looked timid and fearful. She didn't expect Zhao Hehua to be so excessive now.
"Is Captain Hu here today?" Lin Xia didn't know what Captain Hu's attitude was as a father, but thinking about Hu Lanlan's previous situation at home, she didn't want to hold too much hope.
A man who allows his later wife to bully the children left by his ex-wife is either the type who believes a stepmother will always bring a stepfather, or he is blind and cannot see that his daughter is being wronged at home.
Thinking of the time when Captain Hu went to her house to help Zhao Hehua get something, Lin Xia was more inclined to the former. She estimated that even if Director Pei went there again tonight, there would be no good result.
"Not at home." Ding Qin shook her head, still very angry.
After Director Pei entered the office, there was no movement inside. Lin Xia didn't expect Zhao Hehua to be so confused. Now it is a new society. She knows that there are still many uncivilized ideas. Not only in rural areas, but also in cities, there are many people who marry off their daughters early.
"Do you know which family the man is from?" I don't know where Zhao Hehua found this person, so I don't know what the other party's situation is.
After get off work, thinking that Captain Hu should have gone home, Director Pei and Ding Qin took Hu Lanlan to Hu's house again.
Lin Xia inexplicably felt that nothing would happen tonight.
When he told Lu Yuxiu about this in the evening, he was also a little shocked.
"Stupid! The child is not even sixteen years old." Lu Yuxiu was a little shocked when he heard this. It is not uncommon for such things to happen in the new society, but they all happened in remote mountainous rural areas. He did not expect that such a thing could happen in the military family area.
"Sixteen years old?" Lin Xia was a little shocked when she heard this number. The last time she saw Hu Lanlan was a few years ago. She took a few glances at her today and thought that the child looked quite young, but she didn't expect that she was only sixteen years old. This is a minor!
"What about the child's mother's family? Has no one come to visit in all these years?" Lin Xia was a little puzzled. Even if the child's mother was gone, there would always be grandma, uncle and the like, right?
"My hometown is too far away, and it's impossible for me to know the news here." Lu Yuxiu thought of Ningning and Anan. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that his two daughters would marry other people in the future.
"Where are you going?" The two were chatting when Lin Xia saw the man roll over and get out of bed.
"I'll go see An An and Ning Ning." As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuxiu disappeared.
Lin Xia was still thinking about Director Pei's visit to Captain Hu's house today, and she didn't know if she could stop him. Her eyes glanced at the book on the table without any interest, and suddenly she had an idea and stood up to look for the book.
The next day, Lin Xia went to the office early, but unfortunately Director Pei and Ding Qin were not there. She could only deal with the things at hand and then continue reading.
When Director Pei arrived, Lin Xia took the book and went to inquire about the situation, "How is Hu Lanlan's case?"
"Captain Hu is out on a mission and is not at home." Director Pei looked very unhappy. She didn't expect that she was fooled by Zhao Hehua yesterday and made them make a wasted trip in the evening.
"Are you really on a mission?" Lin Xia confirmed with Director Pei.
Director Pei nodded, but she didn't believe it either. She went back home at night and asked her husband, only to find out that he was indeed away on a mission, but he had not been home for several days.
But this news made people even more angry. It clearly showed that Zhao Hehua was fooling them.
"Where is Hu Lanlan?"
"At home." Director Pei was looking through the documents when he heard Lin Xia say, "Director, I'll go to Hu Lanlan's house later."
Seeing the director's surprised expression, Lin Xia smiled calmly and said, "I'll try."
