Huang Linlin stayed in the hospital for a few more days and then rented a small courtyard from someone. It happened that the landlord was an elderly lady.
The old lady's children all lived in the countryside, so Huang Linlin rented her house and she had someone to talk to.
Huang Linlin gave her another twenty yuan, and the old lady agreed to take care of her during this period, cooking for her and so on.
After Huang Linlin was discharged from the hospital, Xu Miaomiao rarely visited her. After all, she had a man and two children at home to take care of.
Zheng Yi did look for Xu Miaomiao a few more times later, probably because he was taught a lesson by Chen Chen last time.
When I saw Xu Miaomiao again, I spoke politely and pretended to be affectionate and pitiful.
The last time, he even brought his naughty son with him, crying in front of Xu Miaomiao's house.
Xu Miaomiao was annoyed by their noise. Seeing that both children were sleeping soundly, she simply transferred the children into the space and went out with a kitchen knife.
Because Zheng Yi was crying with his son at the door of his house, there were many people watching.
Xu Miaomiao was drunk and felt that since moving into this compound, people had been asking her to perform a big show every few days.
I don’t know what Zheng Yi said to his son. At this time, the devil was standing obediently at his door, wiping his tears and shouting that he wanted to find his mother.
Xu Miaomiao opened the door with a swish, glanced at the onlookers with a cold face, and finally fixed her gaze on Zheng Yi, whose eyes were red.
"What are you doing in our house? I told you I don't know where Huang Linlin is!" Xu Miaomiao frowned, looking very annoyed.
Zheng Yi made a bitter face and said nothing, but pushed his son with his hand.
The naughty child immediately burst into earth-shattering tears, "I want my mother! I want my mother! Then you bad woman, give my mother back to me!!!"
They had all heard about the Zheng family's affairs, and they all felt pity and sympathy for Huang Linlin.
But people tend to sympathize with the weak. When a child cries and begs for his mother, many people will feel soft-hearted.
Especially since most of the people here are already mothers. Although they know that Zheng's child is naughty, when they see him crying with tears and snot, some people can't help but speak up for him.
"Chen Chen's wife, just ask Huang Linlin to come back. Look how pitiful this child is without a mother." The first person who spoke was still a little embarrassed, as if he knew that what he said was not right.
But once someone starts speaking, when the rest of the people speak, they feel as if they are standing on the moral high ground.
"Yeah, every couple has their ups and downs, but they still have to live their lives!"
"Yes, yes. How could a couple disappear after a quarrel?"
"Sister, you too, why are you interfering in the affairs of this couple?"
"Yes, they say it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage. How could you do that?"
"Brother Zheng knows he's wrong, so we should give him a chance to correct it, right?"
This sentence gave Zheng Yi a chance to perform. Upon hearing this, he actually knelt down to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao didn't expect him to do this. She was frightened by his sudden big movement and took two steps back before she could steady herself.
Zheng Yi knelt on the ground, raised his finger, "Comrade Xu, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so harsh with Huang Linlin during the argument."
"I shouldn't have lost control of my impulse and slapped her. This is all my fault."
"I swear, as long as she is willing to come back, I will never do anything to her again. She can do whatever she wants at home from now on."
"When she's taking care of the kids, I won't interfere anymore. I can beat her if I want."
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but applaud him. Look at his art of language. In just a few words, he made it seem as if Huang Linlin was being unreasonable in this matter.
Since ancient times, people have had a vicious filter for stepmothers. After hearing his words, several people looked at each other with strange eyes.
There was still whispering below, but Xu Miaomiao knew what they were saying without even listening.
It's simply that the stepmother abused the child, so the father turned against him and beat him.
There were even several people's eyes that showed that she deserved it. Xu Miaomiao felt a little helpless, although it was normal for them to not know the truth and be deceived.
But the sad thing is that they have no idea of the truth and convict a victim based on their own guesses, as if she were an unforgivable criminal.
Originally, Xu Miaomiao thought that Huang Linlin would find someone from the Women's Federation to come to the army with her in the next few days, so there was no need for her to intervene.
But looking at what happened today, we know that if we don’t make it clear today, rumors might spread tomorrow that Huang Linlin was beaten because she abused her stepson.
Xu Miaomiao looked at Zheng Yi, who had a regretful expression, and suddenly burst out laughing, making everyone around them laugh.
Xu Miaomiao asked with a smile, "You said you lost control during an argument with Huang Linlin and slapped her?"
Zheng Yi looked at her expression and his heart skipped a beat. He came here to make trouble just because Xu Miaomiao hadn't told anyone about Huang Linlin's situation.
But now looking at her expression, he felt that something was a little wrong, but with so many people watching, he could only bite the bullet and nod.
"Yes, I was careless, I didn't do it on purpose..."
"Oh~? Really? That's not what Huang Linlin told me." Xu Miaomiao interrupted his defense and looked at him with a smile.
Zheng Yi began to sweat. He didn't expect that Xu Miaomiao had remained silent for so long and was suddenly willing to speak today.
Xu Miaomiao admired his guilty expression for a long time before speaking slowly.
"Didn't you say that Huang Linlin came to see me the night she escaped? She did come to see me."
Xu Miaomiao looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you know why she came to see me?"
Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
"She came to me for help." Xu Miaomiao said with a serious expression.
She stared at Zheng Yi and said, "She's covered in wounds. There are bruises on her hands and feet from being tied up with ropes."
"There was a big gash on his forehead," Xu Miaomiao said word by word, "and the child was miscarried due to beatings!"
Zheng Yigang looked up in surprise when he heard this. He had just learned the news. He always felt that Huang Linlin would definitely not run away as long as the child was there.
When he heard the news, he felt a little panicked. Without the child, how could he control Huang Linlin?
Without giving Zheng Yi a chance to speak, Xu Miaomiao continued, "Do you want to explain why you tied her up and didn't give her food?"
"When you go to work, you let your son, this bear, stay at home to watch her and beat and scold her?"
Zheng Yi opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Miaomiao took the lead again.
"You're not thinking that Huang Linlin went insane and harmed herself, are you?"
"Medical science is quite advanced nowadays, and doctors can tell the difference."
