The child was raised by the man's family to be arrogant, domineering, and inhumane, even worse than her father. They would beat and scold her constantly, and the whole family would bully her together.
Jiang Yuqiao tried several times to get her son to change these ideas, but found that some things are fundamentally unchangeable, and that the idea of someone being born bad is a real thing.
From then on, Jiang Yuqiao was completely heartbroken and lost all hope in her family.
Now that she finally has a chance to escape, she can't wait to get rid of this family completely and never have anything to do with them again.
Including that child.
Xie Mingzhu, Huang Meiling, and the others were also deeply saddened upon hearing this.
No wonder Jiang Yuqiao made such a decision.
"What about the others? Have they decided to bring their children with them?"
Several women who had just given birth thought about it again and again but still couldn't let go.
For them, no matter what wrong things those men did, the children were ultimately innocent, and the children were still young. Changing the environment and raising them properly was not something that couldn't be changed.
The remaining women with children decided to take their daughters, who shared their unfortunate fates, with them.
Because they could easily imagine that if they didn't take their daughters with them, their future fate would likely be the same as their own, being sold from one village to another to become wives for other men.
Jumping from one fire pit to another, you'll never get out.
They had suffered enough and didn't want their daughter to suffer the same way.
Some people were so disgusted with the village and their memories of it that they decided to start a new life and, like Jiang Yuqiao, left their children there.
Sun Jingjing, Zhu Yunfeng, and Jiang Yuqiao made the same decision. To them, their so-called husbands were nothing more than rapists, and the bloodlines they left behind were also the bloodlines of rapists. The thought of this made them feel nauseous.
Rather than spending the rest of my life watching this child recall this place and feeling miserable, I'd rather grit my teeth and steel myself.
In any case, they are the ones who are capable of having children. If they want children, they can naturally choose the person they like and give birth to the child they truly desire, instead of being forced to give birth to a child they don't like.
Xie Mingzhu and Huang Meiling discussed the matter with the police, and the police officers fully supported the girls' decision.
Before long, the police vehicle arrived at Duanqiao Village and opened the door for the girls.
Xie Mingzhu raised her voice and gave instructions to everyone.
"If you have any luggage that you need to pick up, you can come here now to register it. Later, police officers will come to your homes to pack up the luggage you specified and deliver it to you later."
Jiang Yuqiao walked towards the car expectantly, waving her hand at the same time.
"Let these junk stay here forever. I don't have anything to take. Even if I need it, I can earn it back with my own hands!"
Sun Jingjing, Liu Meilan, and Zhu Yunfeng also happily rushed towards the car.
For them, there was nothing to miss about this place. They loathed anything that smelled of this place. Let these things that carried the memories of this place stay here forever!
On the way back, everything was resolved, and as the surroundings quieted down, Xie Mingzhu couldn't help but think of the child she had lost.
Although she had come to terms with it, the painful memories of losing her child still weighed heavily on her mind, leaving her feeling exhausted and inexplicably distressed.
I don't know if I'm grieving for the child I lost, or for my past self.
Huang Meiling immediately noticed that something was wrong with her daughter. She sighed silently, leaned over, put her arm around Xie Mingzhu's shoulder, and gently comforted her.
"Don't be sad. Maybe it's fate that we couldn't keep that child. Or maybe the child knew that we came at the wrong time and said goodbye to you for now?"
"You and this child are destined to meet; perhaps the child will come back in the future."
Xie Mingzhu closed her eyes on her mother's shoulder, turned to the side and buried her face in her mother's neck, reaching out to hug her waist, like a little girl who just wanted to quietly stay on her mother's body and draw some comfort.
In Huang Meiling's arms, Xie Mingzhu gently shook her head.
"But I probably won't have any more children in the future..."
After the incident with Zhou Dawei, she has completely lost hope for marriage and having children.
The only pity is this child.
After all, this is her own flesh and blood, the life she nurtured.
Xie Mingzhu let out a heavy sigh.
"Mom, getting married and having children doesn't seem like a good thing for me. If I never get married, will you, Dad, and my brother look down on me for being an old maid who stays at home all my life?"
Huang Meiling immediately frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? You are my daughter, the darling of our whole family. Even if you never get married or have children in your next life, and stay at home your whole life, no one will say a word against you."
"We can only feel grateful that our daughter has always been by our side."
"And your brother, don't be fooled by his cold and quiet demeanor. He actually thinks the same way we do."
“He cares about you just as much as we do. Even before you said it, he had already secretly come to take care of us so that we wouldn’t put any pressure on you regarding the marriage.”
“Yingying also said that even if we don’t want you to stay at home, she and Zhiyan are willing to take care of you for the rest of your life.”
"Of course, if you change your mind later, we will support you."
"After all, this is your life, and you should be free to choose for yourself."
Xie Mingzhu felt a lump in her throat as she listened, and she wrapped her arms around her mother, who was holding a pillow, even tighter, her voice muffled.
"Mom, you're so good."
On the other side.
After lunch, Shu Ying went to the military factory again with Director Wu and his group, accompanied by Qi Zecheng, Xie Zhiyan and Ye Zhanying.
Shu Ying explained to Ye Zhanying as they walked.
"We went there this time because complete documents were found in the factory, and the military factory needs me and the director to verify and coordinate them."
Ye Zhanying nodded.
Anyway, it's not his business what they do; he just needs to follow along.
Ye Zhanying followed behind, and after a moment she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's much quieter now that Du Zhiwei isn't with us."
Qi Zecheng couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat and nudged her with his elbow.
"Keep your voice down. She's the division commander's granddaughter, after all. Give her some face."
