Chapter 394 The Abused Child
After wiping Huo Tingxiao, putting on his clothes, and tidying up his own clothes, Shen Qingran went out.
"How about it?"
Mother Shen said with concern.
"It's okay, I just drank too much. I think I'll be fine after a good sleep."
"I'm glad you're okay. Your uncle and his friends are the same. They're so old and still want you to bully them."
"It's okay. My uncles and the others are worried about me."
As they were talking, their two aunts came out of the room.
"Little Ranran."
Both of Zhang's daughters-in-law gave birth to sons, so they were extremely fond of this beautiful niece.
"Look, she's really pretty. I said our Ranran is as pretty as an old lady. Look at her little face and her little hands."
The two of them pulled Shen Qingran and the more they looked at her, the more they liked her and the happier they became.
Shen Qingran had never experienced such family love before.
At this time, my aunt's eyes were red, "Good boy, your cousin's health was thanks to you. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't know how to live."
Shen Qingran quickly comforted her, "Aunt, these are what I should do. Don't worry, my cousin's problem will get better over time."
"Okay, I'm relieved to have you watching over me. Come here, this is the gift your cousin asked me to bring you."
"She was going to come, but she's not feeling well at the moment. She'll come over after a while."
Shen Qingran opened it and saw that in addition to some special medicinal herbs there was also a wild ginseng.
"What are these?"
My aunt smiled and covered her mouth. "This is what your cousin gave you. It's clothes for the dolls at home. We have a tradition of giving your children clothes that are meant to attract children and have belts."
Shen Qingran's eyelids twitched. There was no need to be so anxious.
Mother Shen was very enthusiastic, "When you go back, put this little piece of clothing next to your bed, hehe."
Shen Qingran hummed twice perfunctorily.
Mother Shen knew her too well, and pulled the clothes over, “Give it to me, I’ll help you take care of it.”
She went back and put it away secretly.
This made everyone in the yard laugh.
Everyone sat in the yard chatting, and Shen Qingran checked Zhang Chunsheng's pulse.
"Cousin, you are recovering very well. Just continue taking the medicine."
"Hey, let me see it too."
Shen Qingran smiled and showed them to the Zhang family, "They are all good."
"Let's eat, Ranran!"
At this moment, there was a cry from next door.
When Shen Qingran heard this, what was this?
My aunt came over with a bowl of rice in her hand. "It's your story. That woman must be scolding her own child."
"What's going on?"
Mother Shen’s gossiping blood boiled again.
"The man next door has a bad leg. The woman is usually very fierce. I often hear her swearing. The child is also pitiful. He gets beaten for no reason."
"Let's just listen to this. We can't meddle in other people's business."
Mother Shen nodded, "That's right, these days if you care too much, people will hate you."
Fortunately, the noise outside disappeared after a while.
After dinner, Shen Qingran saw that Huo Tingxiao had not woken up yet.
"Cousin, I'll go back and get two pieces of clothing and come over later."
"Okay, I'll take you back?"
"No, I can ride my own bike."
"Then you better pay attention."
Shen Qingran pushed her bicycle towards the entrance of the alley.
The light of the setting sun shines on the earth as if it had covered it with a layer of golden gauze.
She got on her bike and was about to leave when suddenly a dark shadow appeared and Shen Qingran slammed on the brakes.
The whole person almost fell to the ground.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a child.
She quickly parked the car and ran to the child who was sitting on the ground.
"Little boy, are you okay?"
Shen Qingran looked at the little boy with a snotty nose and a slap mark on his face.
I couldn't help but frown.
"kid?"
The little boy looked at Shen Qingran timidly, his whole body tense with nervousness.
"I'm fine."
I stood up and wanted to run.
But he hissed.
Shen Qingran looked at his leg and saw a blood mark on his calf.
The name means being beaten with a stick.
The scars above are new and old.
Isn't this clear child abuse?
Shen Qingran suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Little boy, what about your legs?"
The little boy subconsciously tried to retract his legs, "It's okay, I fell down by myself."
Shen Qingran sighed.
"Come with me."
The people from the Zhang family were sitting in the yard chatting. Just as they were smiling, they saw Shen Qingran coming back with a child.
"Ranran?"
Shen Qingran: "Aunt, get me some disinfectant."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Mother Shen came over and looked at the child in her hand, “This child?”
"I was riding my bike just now and he suddenly came out and fell down."
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, Mom, please get me some water and wipe him down a bit."
Mother Shen looked down at the thin little boy, "What's your name? How old are you?"
The little boy hid behind Shen Qingran, somewhat scared.
Mother Shen smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid, grandma doesn’t hit people.”
Saying "Ugly, give me two candies."
The children's fear was half gone when they saw the candy.
The sweet feeling is so delicious.
Mother Shen pulled Shen Qingran. "This child has wounds all over his body. Was he beaten by his family?"
Shen Qingran shook his head. "I don't know. It looks like he was beaten."
"What a cursed, evil thing! If I knew who it belonged to, I'd have it chopped off."
Shen Qingran watched her aunt disinfect and bandage the child.
"Where is your home, little friend?"
The little boy may have felt much better because of this, and said in a small voice, "I live next door."
beside?
Isn’t that the family we heard scolding their children just this afternoon?
Mother Shen and sister-in-law Zhang were both stunned. What a coincidence.
"Kid, where are your family members?"
"Dad is home, but Mom is not."
Shen Qingran sighed. "I'll take you back."
The little boy lowered his head, "Okay."
Shen Qingran took his hand, walked next door and knocked on the door.
"Daddy's legs can't walk, sister."
Shen Qingran saw the little boy crawl in through a small hole on the side and open the door for her from the inside.
???
"Xiao Wei? Who is that?"
The little boy replied, "Dad, it's the sister next door."
At this time, Shen Qingran saw a man coming out of the house in a wheelchair.
The man was thin and frail.
The nutrition also seems to be malnourished.
And his face...
Shen Qingran frowned, as if thinking about something.
Then I heard the man say, "Comrade, excuse me, has my son caused you any trouble?"
Shen Qingran shook her head, but still couldn't help it.
"Comrade, I want to ask, this kid has a lot of scars on his body, do you know what happened?"
The man looked at Shen Qingran's serious expression with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes.
"Comrade, I know about this. It's my fault. I will control my temper in the future. Don't worry."
Shen Qingran frowned, "No matter how angry you are, you can't let the child bear this for you."
"Yes, yes, comrade, you have taught me a lesson. I will never dare to do it again."
Shen Qingran gritted her teeth, squatted down and looked at the little boy, "Your name is Xiaowei, right?"
"If your father hits you again in the future, go next door and find your grandmother who applied the medicine to you just now. The police will help you then."
The little boy glanced at the man in the wheelchair, lowered his head and nodded.
Then the little boy ran to the man and said in a very caring way: "Dad, I'll push you back to rest."
Shen Qingran looked at this scene, a trace of emotion flashing across his eyes.
If a person abuses a child for a long time, the child will never behave so considerately, so there is only one possibility left.
This man is protecting someone.
This person should be the one the man cares about, and her first reaction is almost always the child's mother.
However, she also knows that family disgrace should not be made public.
"Xiaowei, I'm leaving now."
Watching Shen Qingran leave, the man's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Xiaowei, Mom is just in a bad mood. Let's not blame her, okay?"
The little boy looked at the man with his eyes open.
Nodding, "Don't be angry, Mom is tired and it's very hard."
The man bit his lower lip, the pain and discomfort in his eyes turning into tears.
"Xiaowei, you're very good. Daddy likes Xiaowei the most."
What can he do?
I am already like this.
He lowered his eyes and absorbed all the discomfort.
Shen Qingran didn't go back to get her things either.
Huo Tingxiao woke up.
Fortunately, Shen Qingran gave him two injections and now he doesn't feel any pain.
"Ranran?"
Huo Tingxiao looked at her depressed look and said, "I'm sorry, I drank too much."
Shen Qingran reached out and rubbed Huo Tingxiao's temples.
''What are you apologizing for?
"I heard from my aunt and mom that you went next door?"
Shen Qingran got a little angry when she thought about it, "Tell me, how can there be such irresponsible parents in this world?"
"What kind of skill is it to beat a child?"
Huo Tingxiao knew that what she hated most was abusing children. "Do you want me to ask Ji Qiubai to come over and take a look?"
Shen Qingran sighed, "It would be great if we could stop her behavior."
"This way Xiaowei will suffer less."
"Then I'll say hello to him tomorrow."
"When we have a child, I will love him well."
Shen Qingran smiled and said, "How about I wait for you to come back?"
Huo Tingxiao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
A feeling of joy welled up in Huo Tingxiao's heart. He would be happy just thinking about having a daughter as beautiful as her.
