Zhong Suxin had wounds all over her waist and belly. She sweated a lot when she went out to buy food in the hot weather, and her wounds felt hot and itchy.
When I bent down to carry food, the scab was torn open again. I subconsciously covered it with my hands, but the clothes stuck to my flesh, which made the pain even worse.
Zhong Suxin looked at Ning Xi gratefully: "My name is Zhong Suxin, and I live in Fu'an Hutong."
"That's quite close, just on the way. I live in Changle Hutong in front of yours." Ning Xi didn't buy much food, so she hung it on the handlebars when she came.
You can go back directly now.
Plus, there aren't many uphill climbs on this stretch of road, so it's not tiring.
Zhong Suxin paid the money and the registration fee to Hu Guangrong, and did not forget to thank him. She planned to write a thank-you letter to his factory after returning.
"I don't know how to thank you enough for taking me to the hospital. If you have any chores to do around the house, I'll help you."
After holding the back seat of the car, Zhong Suxin sat in the back and talked to Ning Xi.
This time, Ning Xi was no longer in a hurry, so she simply pulled over to the side of the road to a shady spot and rode at a slower speed, still having the energy to chat.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake." Ning Xi didn't dare to let the injured person do the work for her!
"Alas, please let me know if you need anything in the future. I will definitely do whatever I can to help." Zhong Suxin felt helpless.
This female comrade kindly sent her to the hospital and waited until she was cured before sending her home. She should buy something to express her gratitude.
No matter how nice the words sound, they are empty. Only tangible things can show sincerity.
But when she thought of her empty wallet, she could do nothing. Sometimes she felt that life was meaningless, but when she thought of her two young daughters, she had to be strong.
"Do you have any difficulties?" Thinking of the doctor's hesitation just now, Ning Xi asked kindly.
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Even if I can't help you solve them, I can at least be a loyal listener. Sometimes speaking out can make things easier."
Zhong Suxin didn't say anything, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Ning Xi wondered if she had offended someone, so she just pedaled her bike silently without saying anything.
After all, they are strangers who have never met each other before, so it is understandable that they are unwilling to expose their private affairs.
......
"Actually..." After several minutes, Zhong Suxin seemed to have mustered up the courage, and slowly spoke, saying something shocking.
"The injuries on my body were caused by my husband and mother-in-law using fire pokers."
Ning Xi:......
It turns out that evil mothers-in-law and toxic husbands are not just things that happen on TV, they are even more terrible in real life!
"Why don't you divorce him? Domestic violence happens once, and it will happen countless times. It's impossible to change unless you can fight violence with violence."
Having never experienced marriage, or even love, Ning Xi actually cannot deeply understand those who endure domestic violence and refuse to divorce.
Is it really true that you can't live without a man?
If it’s for the sake of the children, children growing up in such a family environment are worse off than those born to single parents!
Zhong Suxin's voice was choked with sobs: "I... My job belongs to my mother-in-law. If we divorce, I have to give it back. I also have two three-year-old daughters. If we divorce, the three of us can't survive."
Ning Xi shut up.
She didn't take the characteristics of the times into consideration when she was talking about divorce. It's not easy for modern women to raise children after divorce, but as long as they can endure hardships, they won't starve.
It’s completely different now. If you lose your job in the city, you will really starve to death.
"Didn't your parents help you?" You should have a lot of brothers and sisters at this time.
Zhong Suxin sensed her silence and pursed her lips to pretend to be calm, but unfortunately she couldn't smile at all.
Mom and Dad?
Her parents just advised her to be patient and everything would be fine. They also said that her inability to give birth to a son brought shame to her parents' family and she was too embarrassed to go to her in-laws' family to support her.
She also said that after the divorce there was no place for her to live at home.
Doesn’t she want a divorce? She will feel pain and cry, but she doesn’t dare to divorce.
The two daughters were still so young and would call her "Mom" sweetly every day. When she was beaten, they would stumble over to protect her.
How could she bear to take such good daughters to die with them?
The world is so big, why is there no place for her?
Ning Xi didn't know how to comfort the other person. She sympathized with her situation, but she couldn't help her because she hadn't solved her own work problems.
"You can't be bullied in silence, or they will just get worse."
Ning Xi thought of some chicken soup she had read - when it comes to problems, either make a big thing small or a small thing big.
"If they bully you again, make a big deal out of it. Whether you act crazy or just lie down and play dead, the more people who know about it, the better."
"This..." Zhong Suxin didn't expect her to say that. Nowadays, people believe in keeping dirty laundry in the family. If she makes a fuss and causes rumors, will her two daughters be talked about when they grow up?
"You're about to die, and you still care about your face!" Ning Xi certainly knew that not everyone could skillfully use madness to solve problems.
But in Zhong Suxin's situation, can face be more important than life?
"I'm not trying to save face, I'm just afraid that people will gossip about my daughters." Zhong Suxin felt that she had a miserable life, and her two daughters were pitiful, being born into such a family.
If a quarrel breaks out, your reputation will definitely be ruined.
"Family has a huge impact on children. If you choose to endure it silently, can you still hope that your daughter will be strong when she grows up?
Besides, if something happened to you, what good would it be for your daughter to be there?"
Seeing that she still hadn't figured it out, Ning Xi simply said something unpleasant.
"You're not only going to make trouble at your husband's house, you're going to make trouble even more at your parents' house. Do they have any fault in marrying you to such a family?" Before matchmaking, you have to ask about the man's character!
Zhong Suxin was shocked.
After she got married, she vaguely heard that her husband's previous wife was beaten and ran away. Could it be that her parents knew this situation in advance and still wanted to marry her?
"Comrade Xiaoning, I understand. Thank you for your advice." Zhong Suxin thought about going back tonight.
"Well, once you make a big fuss, someone will naturally take care of it."
Some people disguise domestic violence as quarrels between couples or family disputes, but in other words, it is oppression of women and is more likely to threaten their personal safety.
"I asked you to buy some food, where the hell have you been? Did you go out and fool around with some other man?"
As the car turned into the alley, a thin man suddenly jumped out and held down the front of Ning Xi's bicycle.
She hurriedly stepped on the brakes and jumped out to stabilize the car. Zhong Suxin in the back was also frightened and almost fell down. She got out of the car by holding on to the seat.
"Who are you? Are you trying to rob me by suddenly appearing here?" Ning Xi parked the car first, and then spoke out loud without thinking.
Seeing the other party stunned, Ning Xi shouted loudly: "Is there anyone who can help? There is a robbery here!"
In fact, she had already guessed in her heart that this man must be Zhong Suxin's husband.
