11. Paying respects
◎…◎
"Chi Jianjun, you actually hit me?"
Zheng Xiaohong covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.
During the years she was married to Chi Jianjun, she had always felt fortunate, thinking that she had finally married the right person for the second time.
Compared with her first husband Zhou Yushu who died early, Chi Jianjun is much better in every aspect.
Not only is he tall and handsome, he is also considerate and reliable, and his salary is higher.
When she has conflicts with her mother-in-law, she will not say like her first husband that my mother has had a hard time and you should be patient and give in to her more.
Although most of the time she was controlled by her mother-in-law Li Zaohua, even if there were conflicts, she could never bring them to Chi Jianjun.
But after remarrying, she no longer heard those words that were like a curse and made her scalp tingle every time she thought of them.
In addition, less than two years after her remarriage, she became pregnant and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Not only was her mother-in-law satisfied with her, but even Chi Jianjun, who originally favored his stepdaughter, gradually favored her and her children.
Her life became more and more enjoyable. She had never had a quarrel or a fight with Chi Jianjun in all the years she had been married, let alone a fight.
Unexpectedly, Chi Jianjun beat her in front of so many people in the hospital today!
Although she knew that her son Zhou Chenghai had indeed made a big mistake this time, it was very likely to implicate Chi Jianjun and make him miss the long-awaited opportunity to become a regular employee.
But even if he was angry, he shouldn't have hit himself.
Especially since there are many acquaintances from the textile factory in the hospital now, how can she maintain face in the factory in the future?
Those gossipy women used to envy her the most for marrying a good husband.
She could imagine how those gossipy women would spread the news of her beating and laugh at her when they returned to the family quarters.
The more Zheng Xiaohong thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes suddenly became redder and tears fell down.
But she didn't dare to quarrel with Chi Jianjun or fight back, and she didn't have the confidence.
Although she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for Chi Jianjun, she still lacked confidence because she had no support from her mother's family.
What if she has a falling out with Chi Jianjun and he divorces her and doesn't want her anymore? How will she live her life in the future?
What's more, it was indeed her son who did something wrong and implicated Chi Jianjun.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaohong felt infinite resentment towards her son Zhou Chenghai.
If she had known that her son would relapse into his old ways and steal things from the factory as soon as he returned, she would never have asked Chi Jianjun to transfer him back to the city.
Seeing Zheng Xiaohong crying in grievance, Chi Jianjun felt annoyed again.
"I haven't felt wronged yet, but you've felt wronged first. You're just crying and crying. You only know how to cry."
She didn't think it was bad luck, as all her good luck was gone because of her crying.
When she was young, Zheng Xiaohong cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel pity for her, but don’t you think about how old she is now.
She's already in her forties, almost fifty, with wrinkles all over her face, yet she's still crying in front of him like a little white flower. Isn't that annoying?!
In the past, when he had nothing to do, he would like to say a few words to coax her as a joke, but now he is not in the mood for that.
"You're such a good son, but you've screwed me over so badly this time!"
As a stepfather, he has difficulty disciplining his stepson, but Zheng Xiaohong, as his biological mother, can't do it either. This is her fault!
If the factory director had not discovered that Zhou Chenghai's leg was broken, he would not have sent him directly to the police station for his sake, but to the hospital first. Thinking that his own daughter was also in the hospital, he was too lazy to follow.
Zheng Xiaohong was so good that when she came to the hospital, she didn't even mention going to see how his daughter who was also hospitalized was doing. Instead, she asked him to find a way to get her son out.
You've been cheated by Zhou Chenghai like this, and your chance of becoming a regular employee is about to be gone, but you still want to save him?
He didn't step on Zhou Chenghai because he was magnanimous.
Also, this stepmother is indeed a stepmother.
No matter how well Zheng Xiaohong performed in the past or how much of a good stepmother she was, the most important thing to her was the child she gave birth to.
Zheng Xiaohong couldn't hold it in anymore when she heard Chi Jianjun blaming her for only caring about her own child and not thinking about visiting her stepdaughter who was also in the hospital.
Chi Jianjun actually had the nerve to blame her? !
She is a stepmother, and her relationship with her stepdaughter has been far worse than before in recent years. Chi Jianjun is not unaware of this.
Since her stepdaughter was hospitalized yesterday, her biological father Chi Jianjun has not come to see her. Why should he blame her?
If I'm not a good stepmother, then Chi Jianjun is a good father?!
Although she thought so in her heart, Zheng Xiaohong was afraid that Chi Jianjun would get angry and embarrassed, so she didn't say it out loud.
Chi Gu Ai, who was lying at the door watching the excitement not far away, couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw that Chi Jianjun finally remembered her daughter who was in the hospital.
Compared to Zheng Xiaohong, the stepmother, Chi Jianjun, the biological father, is the most hateful.
Chen Qiudi just told her that she met Chi Jianjun on the way to the hospital.
She stayed in the hospital for half a day and one night, but Chi Jianjun didn't even come to see her. It was obvious that he didn't care much about his daughter.
Now, he even has the nerve to use this to criticize Zheng Xiaohong.
Zheng Xiaohong is not a good person, and Chi Jianjun is even less so.
Thinking of the original owner's memory, the father who loved her in every way before she was five years old, Ikeyani Ai sighed in her heart.
Too lazy to watch the drama between the two, Chi Guai turned around and went to the bathroom before Chi Jianjun discovered her.
After coming out of the bathroom, Ikegani Ai did not return to the ward immediately. She saw Fang Tianhe standing downstairs, so she went downstairs.
Fang Tianhe downstairs hadn't slept all night and was extremely sleepy, but he had to force himself to stay awake.
There were so many weird things last night, I didn’t expect so many.
Afraid that the two human traffickers would die in the public security bureau with bloodied heads, he had to send them to the hospital for treatment.
Unexpectedly, just as the doctor finished bandaging the two human traffickers, he ran into Director Wang and Chi Jianjun carrying two people covered in injuries.
At first glance, wow, they are all familiar faces.
One is a well-known second-rate person in the county, and the other is actually Iketani Ai's stepbrother.
Fang Tianhe didn't expect that these two people would be involved with each other. He immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation, only to find that the two incidents were surprisingly similar.
They were all possessed by evil spirits and then beaten horribly by female ghosts.
Fang Tianhe, the socialist successor who received atheist education since childhood, is confused.
Are there really ghosts in this world?
Just when I was confused, I saw Iketani Ai coming down from the stairs, and I scratched my head embarrassedly.
"Gu Ai, I'm so sorry. I've been so busy all day that I haven't had time to visit you. How are you doing now?"
"There's nothing wrong, just a little weak. Actually, you can be discharged now."
As they talked, the two of them talked about the body disposal case yesterday.
Speaking of this, Fang Tianhe's expression became extremely complicated.
"Just now, when your stepbrother was rushed to the hospital for treatment, he dragged me along and kept saying that the second-rate Liu Xiaodao was the murderer, saying that the murdered girl last night had personally taken revenge. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Looking at Fang Tianhe who wanted to believe but didn't dare to, the female ghost "herself" blinked.
It was a bit of a pity that Fang Tianhe didn't see her revenge with his own eyes.
If he really saw it, I guarantee that his three views would be reorganized.
"In that case, those two human traffickers are most likely involved in the girl's murder. Maybe they were the ones who abducted her. If that's the case, the girl's ghost deserves revenge on them."
"Human traffickers must be punished by all."
Fang Tianhe was stunned when he heard what Chi Gu Ai said.
I immediately thought of the bloody words on the dilapidated courtyard wall and couldn't help but look at Ikeyai twice more.
"You seem to have a particular hatred for human traffickers."
He and Iketani Ai grew up together, but this was the first time he saw her express such hatred towards human traffickers.
"Shouldn't it be? These human traffickers have torn so many families apart. Ever since the higher-ups relaxed their policies, human traffickers have become increasingly rampant in recent years. It's time for a severe crackdown."
Fang Tianhe nodded in agreement.
As a police officer, I know best how many people are abducted and go missing every year.
Last year alone, their public security bureau received several reports of missing women and children.
Although they searched for a long time, they were unable to find the person due to limited manpower and material resources.
Looking at the devastated and hopeless faces of those parents who had lost their children, he blamed himself and also hated the human traffickers extremely.
Fortunately, the discovery was made in time this time, and the little boy who was abducted by two human traffickers has not been sold yet. He will probably be able to return to his parents soon, which is barely a consolation.
As the two were talking, Chi Jianjun came over.
"Daughter, how are you? Dad didn't see you when he went to the ward just now, but he was shocked. If you're not feeling well, why are you running out instead of lying down?"
"Are you hungry? Tell Dad what you want for breakfast and I'll buy it for you right away."
Looking at Chi Jianjun who suddenly showed her his belated fatherly love, Chi Guyai just felt extremely bored.
The original owner didn't want this cheap fatherly love, and she wanted it even less.
What was he doing before? When the original owner needed his care the most, he was busy being affectionate with his remarried wife and caring about his twins.
It's too late to remember the original owner's daughter now.
Chi Guai didn't want to pay any attention to Chi Jianjun and her attitude was extremely cold.
Her overly cold attitude made Chi Jianjun very unhappy.
It was not easy to argue with his daughter, with whom he had already strained relations, so Chi Jianjun put all the blame on Wang Lunan.
He felt that it was all the fault of Wang Lunan, the nosy woman, who had corrupted his good daughter.
But before he could express his dissatisfaction, Iketani Ai walked past him.
"Hey, you girl haven't told me what you want for breakfast yet, why are you leaving?"
"Also, are you coming home for dinner today? Your grandma said yesterday that she would prepare a delicious meal for you to celebrate your start of work."
Is Li Zaohua so kind?
Li Zaohua hated the original owner so much that everyone in her family was involved.
Because he disliked the original owner's biological mother Liao Xiangyun, he even disliked the original owner's granddaughter.
Especially after Zheng Xiaohong gave birth to twin grandchildren, Li Zaohua began to find fault with the original owner.
Li Zaohua suddenly wanted to prepare food for her, which must have been a bad idea.
Most likely, he saw that she was working and earning money, so he wanted to ask her for some filial piety money.
But why? Even if she wanted to show filial piety, she should show filial piety to the godmother and godfather who treated the original owner well.
Even Chi Jianjun, the biological father, is not on the list, let alone Li Zaohua, the old witch who had abused the original owner.
