Hu Guangjin arrived in Chongming County, gritted his teeth and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two cans of food and a bag of brown sugar, and took them to Hu Chuntao's house.
Hu Chuntao did not work after she got married. She had two children, the older one was three years old and the younger one was one year old. They were in their noisy years, so she stayed at home every day doing housework and taking care of the children.
When Hu Guangjin arrived, the eldest child was crying. She was changing the diaper of the second child while cursing at the eldest child.
Hu Guangjin shrank subconsciously, but for his own purpose, he took a deep breath and walked in.
"Second sister, look what I brought you?"
Hu Chuntao looked up and saw that it was Hu Guangjin. She suddenly felt like the sun was rising from the west.
"Why are you here?"
When she saw what he was holding, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Bring something else?
This is really rare.
"What's wrong with your face?" Hu Chuntao put on the second child's pants and let him lie on the chair to play by himself. She walked over a few steps and said, "You look like you were beaten. Who dared to hit you? Wouldn't your parents go out and fight?"
It was the same sentence that Lao Liu said at the beginning. In everyone's eyes, his parents spoiled him, but in fact, the scars on his body and face were all caused by his mother.
"Don't mention it, they don't care about me."
Hu Chuntao didn't care what Hu Guangjin thought. She took the things in his hand, put them in her room, and then came out to pour tea for Hu Guangjin.
"You never come to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want from me? Don't come here to ask for money. I'm telling you, I don't have any money to give you. If you need money, go ask your parents."
Hu Chuntao is a person that no one dares to offend in the Hu family.
She fights for everything, and over the years, everyone in the family has been subconsciously afraid of her.
Especially Hu Guangjin. He stole fifty cents from the house and when he was found out he didn't dare to admit it and pushed the blame onto Hu Chuntao. Hu Jianguo slapped her hard without saying a word.
She had a hot temper and would never admit anything she didn't do. When her father went out to work in the fields, she beat Hu Guangjin so hard that he lay on the ground and couldn't get up. One of his teeth was knocked out and his mouth was full of blood.
Since then, Hu Guangjin was afraid of her, and she never looked at anyone with a happy face.
She always wanted a share of things in the house. If she didn't, she would make a big fuss. She would not allow anyone to take her things, and she would fight anyone who tried to take them.
Gradually, no one in the family dared to offend her. Even Feng Yun and Hu Jianguo would subconsciously avoid her when they saw her getting angry.
Hu Guangjin is very afraid of his second sister, but only such a second sister can control his mother. What else can he do?
"Second sister, do you know? Mom and Dad are divorced."
"What?" Hu Chuntao paused and stood up. "What happened at home?"
Hu Guangjin would never confess his wrongdoings. He only said that Hu Jianguo got close to a widow from Dagu Village and was seen by his mother. His mother started to speculate that his father was having an affair outside, causing chaos at home. In the end, she smashed the house and took away all the money.
Hu Chuntao tightened her grip on the enamel pot and looked at Hu Guangjin suspiciously, "Just for such a small matter, she would make such a fuss?"
It’s not that Hu Chuntao looks down on her mother, it’s just that this is not something her mother would do.
Moreover, Hu Guangjin has a history of lying, and she doesn't believe what he says.
Hu Guangjin obviously knew that he had little credibility with Hu Chuntao, so he immediately pointed at his own face.
"You don't know, Mom has been acting like a madman these past few days. Look at my face. She hit me when I was trying to stop a fight. She won't listen to anyone, she's like a madman."
Hu Chuntao's lips curled up, "You were beaten, and you definitely deserved it. Don't talk nonsense in front of me. You want me to stand up for you? You're still a little naive."
Hu Guangjin choked. "Second sister, what are you talking about? What do you mean by asking you to stand out? Have you ever seen anyone divorced in this village? You married into your brother-in-law, which is already a high position. You can't hold your head up high at home. If they knew that my parents were divorced, they would only look down on you even more."
Hu Chuntao clenched his hands into fists.
Divorce is a very shameful thing.
Outsiders won’t think about whether there is a reason why someone cannot be forgiven for making a mistake.
They will just say that there must be something wrong with you, that someone in your family is divorced, and that everyone in your family can be ridiculed at will.
Her situation was difficult enough, it couldn't get any harder.
Hu Guangjin saw Hu Chuntao's intention and rolled his eyes.
"Second sister, you probably don't know that Mom divorced me, and she also extorted 500 yuan from the widow in my aunt's village and took it all away. She also wrote a letter of severance from us, saying that she didn't want me to be with you, and took away my eldest sister, third sister, fifth brother, and sixth brother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Chuntao threw the enamel pot in her hand to the ground.
"What did you say?" Hu Chuntao's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly. "Broken up?"
"Hmm!" Hu Guangjin swallowed and was so scared that he was a little incoherent.
"She doesn't want us anymore, she doesn't want to support us. She went to the city. My eldest sister said that she met a good family in the city and she will probably get married soon. Second sister, mom is too much. She doesn't take us seriously at all. She said she would break off the relationship. I'm afraid she wanted to get rid of us a long time ago. I won't say anything. I feel sorry for you, second sister. What did you do wrong? Why does she want to throw you away like garbage?"
Hu Chuntao's chest heaved violently.
Throw her away like trash.
Why does she have the right?
It would be fine if I just fell in love with someone else and got a divorce, but she still had the nerve to take all the things in the house and destroy it. What right did she have!
Taking a few deep breaths and forcing herself to calm down, Hu Chuntao quickly asked, "Has her household registration been moved?"
Hu Guangjin was stunned. How would he know this? His father didn't tell him either.
"That shouldn't be the case. Dad agreed to the divorce, and she left after they signed the papers."
Hu Chuntao picked up the second child and handed him to Hu Guangjin, "Look after the child. I have something to do outside."
Hu Guangjin held his one-year-old child in his arms, staring at him with a confused look on his face, not knowing what to do.
"It's not you, Second Sister..."
Hu Chuntao had already left. His nephew Zhou Boran looked at Hu Guangjin and subconsciously put his hand on his head, then pulled hard...
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, what are you doing!"
Hu Guangjin wanted to throw the child away, but he was afraid that his sister would cause trouble for him, so he had to grit his teeth and bear it. When the child let go, he had several strands of hair in his hands.
…
Hu Chuntao went straight to the Public Security Bureau.
Her uncle Zhou Kang was drinking tea in the office, and she knocked on the door and went in.
"Uncle, are you busy?"
Zhou Kang glanced at her with a calm expression, "Chun Tao, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come to me during working hours, or you'll cause trouble."
Hu Chuntao smiled and apologized, "I'm wrong, but uncle, I have something important to do this time. I remember you said before that you knew a police officer in our town. I have something urgent to ask him now. Could you please help me contact him?"
