Chapter 173 Who Did This Good Deed (Page 1/2)
"Who is it?"
Chen Baomei was filled with curiosity and pulled Lu Qionghua aside to ask, "Who is so kind? Is it someone we know?"
"Mom, I'm telling you this in secret, please don't tell anyone."
Chen Baomei narrowed her eyes and asked, "Am I that kind of person?"
No matter who did it, it indirectly helped them solve a big problem.
That’s my benefactor!
How could they repay kindness with enmity?
"Tell me quickly, who did this?"
Lu Qionghua: "My new employer."
Chen Baomei looked surprised. "Isn't he... isn't he in a wheelchair? You work for him, and he helps take care of your personal affairs?"
Is there really such a fantastic employer in the world?
"Of course he can't show up on his own. His legs haven't fully healed yet, and he can only walk with difficulty."
Chen Baomei was shocked again.
"Isn't he born with a disability?"
"No, he's a seaman. He injured his leg while rescuing cargo at sea, so he's staying in a sanatorium to recuperate. The doctor said his leg can recover, but it will take time. I was recommended because it requires intensive care."
If Lu Qionghua hadn't said anything, Chen Baomei would have thought that this person would be disabled for life.
Chen Baomei couldn't help but ask, "I remember you said he's not young anymore, he should be married with children, right? He's injured and in a wheelchair, but his wife doesn't care about him?"
Even if they wanted to hire a caregiver or a nanny, they probably wouldn't hire a young woman like Qionghua.
Most people are quite cautious.
"He's in his forties and has never been married. I heard he started working in shipping when he was young, traveling around the world on ships. He's had a few relationships, but the nature of his work delayed them. He had an older sister, but she died due to domestic violence from her brother-in-law. He left behind a niece, who he raised."
"The reason why he helped me teach Wei Sheng a lesson was probably because he was moved by sympathy for his sister."
"Mom, you don't know that his brother-in-law is even more terrifying than Wei Sheng. Every time he gets drunk, he beats people to death. We can't get a divorce, and calling the police is useless. Only after the person is beaten to death did they send his brother-in-law to jail. When his sister died, she was only in her early twenties, and the child was only a few months old. It's so pitiful."
Chen Baomei was silent.
It's really pitiful, he died in his twenties.
This is often the reality. Even if you are a victim of domestic violence, it is difficult to bring the perpetrator to justice.
It has really reached a point where it is irreversible. Even if people are sent in, they can never come back.
As for filing for divorce?
For some people with low knowledge, it is too difficult to leave.
The ties of the children, the condemnation and dissuasion from those around her, the negative public opinion towards divorced women...
Each one of them is like a mountain pressing down on you.
If you are not a person with a strong will and a courageous character, it is really difficult to escape from this predicament.
Society is developing and information is in an era of explosion. With the development of the Internet, the horizons of many people are constantly expanding, and their cognition is slowly changing. The current situation is much better than before.
Many people say that they envy the love in the past and the low divorce rate in the past. But they don’t know that women in the past had no choice.
Even if you are beaten, you cannot leave. If you can't be beaten to death, you have to live on. If you really can't live on, you can only die.
Being domesticated was one factor, and being held hostage by rules was another. Most importantly, women at that time received no share of property after a divorce, especially rural women. Uneducated, without land or private property, they had nowhere to go after a divorce and no one to cover their losses, so they could only endure the humiliation and struggle of their marriages.
It’s different now. Social development has provided more job opportunities for women.
Just like Qionghua, even if she has nothing, she can still support herself with her own hands.
Qionghua's employer was in his forties, and his sister was at least in her forties now. She passed away in her early twenties, which means she had been gone for more than twenty years.
The society more than 20 years ago is simply incomparable to today.
"His sister was beaten to death, but his brother-in-law was sentenced to life imprisonment without even having to pay with his life."
Chen Baomei: "What can we do? This is reality. Times are better now, and this kind of thing will become less and less common."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qionghua reminded Chen Baomei again: "Mom, seriously, I'm only going to tell you about this. Don't tell anyone else. My boss will be in trouble if you tell anyone."
Chen Baomei angrily retorted to her, "You don't believe me, and you still have the courage to tell me."
Lu Qionghua smiled bitterly.
"That's why I'm worried."
"Oh? Who are you worried about?" Chen Baomei looked at her jokingly.
Lu Qionghua's ears turned red.
She said with a straight face, "Of course it's my boss. He helped me, so it's normal for me to worry about him."
Chen Baomei nodded seriously, "Yes, it's normal."
Lu Qionghua couldn't stand Chen Baomei's teasing look, so she ran away without even eating.
Chen Baomei couldn't help laughing.
I feel that this sailor is a good person. He has a high salary and doesn't often stay at home to be an eyesore. If he can be with Qionghua, it would be a good marriage.
Of course, the prerequisite is that both parties are willing, and the person's legs and feet are in good condition and can work normally.
If you really want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, forget it.
Finding a husband is for living together, not for causing trouble for yourself.
Niu Niu ate the nutritious meals made by Chen Baomei, and after half a year, she really grew a lot taller.
Chen Baomei became even more interested.
She enrolled in a class specifically to learn from Lu Qionghua and pass the nutritionist certification exam!
Chen Ru laughed at her mother. Elderly people of her age were enjoying their retirement with their grandchildren, but she, on the other hand, was like a student, learning this and that, busier than any university student.
Chen Baomei lectured her, "You're a teacher, don't you understand that you should keep learning throughout your life?"
Over the past six months, she has learned to cook a variety of nutritious and delicious foods. She thinks that when the short video trend comes, she might be able to become a food blogger.
"I understand, I understand. You are truly enlightened!"
It was the end of the year and the accounts were settled. Shen Ru not only paid back the money she had borrowed from Chen Baomei to buy a house, but also gave Chen Baomei a dividend. However, this time it was not as much as last time, only 50,000 yuan.
However, Chen Baomei was satisfied as long as she had money coming in.
A few days ago, the agent introduced her to a courtyard and asked Chen Baomei to go and see it when she has time.
It was the end of the year, and Chen Ru's training institution was also in the final stages of its work, so she was not so busy. Chen Baomei asked her to go house hunting together.
When Shen Ru heard that her mother was going to buy another house, she immediately became excited.
"Where to buy? I want to see one too!"
The price increase of the two houses I bought with Chen Baomei before was not too high, but the price of the house I bought for Qiqi in the capital half a year ago has increased by more than two thousand!
Her 66-square-meter house appreciated in value by more than 130,000 yuan in just half a year.
This money is much easier to earn than from teaching and training.
Shen Ru felt that her mother had a good eye for houses, and it would be a good idea to follow her!
