Because Xiao Weiguo's car was blocking the way, Xiao Mengjie couldn't clearly see what was happening ahead.
When she hurriedly got out of the car, the scene before her eyes shocked her: her mother was tearfully pulling at the man lying on the ground.
This sudden turn of events left Xiao Mengjie completely bewildered, but she quickly let go of Hu Zi, whom she was holding, and hurried towards the other side.
Just then, Xiao Weiguo recognized that the person lying on the ground was Xiao Feng!
This discovery shocked Xiao Weiguo, but the situation was urgent at the moment, and he had no time to think about anything else. He quickly reached out with Jiao Bai to help Xiao Feng up.
Looking around, they spotted a clean, large rock by the roadside. Without hesitation, the two of them worked together to slowly move Xiao Feng to the rock and carefully let him lie down and rest for a while.
After all, it's the height of summer right now, so even if you just lie on the rocks to rest, you shouldn't catch a cold or anything like that.
Xiao Mengjie rushed over and held her mother's arm firmly with both hands, her face full of worry and concern, and asked softly.
"Mother, what exactly is going on? And who is that person?"
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the ragged beggar who was being helped aside by her father, Xiao Weiguo.
That all-too-familiar voice reached my ears, and then my eyes were drawn to my daughter's delicate yet anxious face.
Only then did Gu Meiying realize with a start that her daughter had already returned.
In an instant, all the grievances, fears, and helplessness surged into her heart like a flood breaking through a dam, making her unable to suppress her emotions any longer, and she burst into tears.
"My dear daughter, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back so soon, you might never have seen your mother again!"
To be honest, if it weren't for her son Xiao Feng's desperate intervention, Gu Meiying would probably have been forcibly taken home by that father and son by now.
The mere thought of the terrible things she might encounter after stepping into that house sent chills down her spine, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
Especially Xiao Lian, that heartless beast. If he really does what he said before, how will she ever have the face to face the world again?
She originally thought that her husband's elopement with another man would be enough to drive her to the brink of madness and collapse, but she never expected that if she were also defiled by her brother-in-law, she would have no face to live in this world!
At that moment, Xiao Mengjie hugged her mother tightly, gently patted her back, and kept comforting her.
"Mom, don't worry or get upset. Look, we've all returned safely now."
Which blind fool dares to bully you?
Just tell us the whole story, and Brother Weiguo will definitely not let those evil people off easily!
After Xiao Mengjie patiently comforted her for a long time, Gu Meiying finally stopped sobbing.
However, as if suddenly recalling something important, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corner of her eyes, and then spoke.
"My dear daughter, come here quickly, come and see who this person is?"
As she spoke, she firmly grasped Xiao Mengjie's small hand and slowly moved to the side of the large rock lying horizontally.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Xiao Mengjie quickly turned her gaze in the direction her mother was pointing.
The gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, landed directly on the figure in the distance, and finally froze firmly, not moving an inch.
She looked closely and saw that the man was wearing tattered, patched, and dirty clothes that looked as if they had been through countless fierce battles and tortures. Dried bloodstains were scattered on them, creating a shocking scene.
Looking further up, Xiao Feng's once jet-black and lustrous hair had become messy and disorderly, like a tangled clump of weeds growing wildly.
His disheveled hair almost completely obscured his gaunt face, leaving only tired, lifeless eyes and dry, pale lips visible.
Not only that, even his bare arms were covered in mud and grime, making him look dirty and disheveled.
From a distance, he looked exactly like a beggar.
However, despite Xiao Feng's current miserable and dejected appearance, Xiao Mengjie only looked at him carefully for a short while before a strange and inexplicable feeling of familiarity welled up in her heart.
This feeling, as if it were an innate, instinctive reaction, instantly occupied all her thoughts.
For some reason, a strong intuition compelled her to open her mouth and softly utter a sound.
"father?"
The moment that simple word left her lips, tears welled up in Xiao Mengjie's eyes like a burst dam, flowing uncontrollably.
At the same time, tears streamed down her face, just like her mother who was already sobbing uncontrollably beside her.
That single word "Father" seemed to contain endless sorrow and pain, and the tears that welled up in his eyes were intertwined with deep grievances, unspeakable bitterness, and a few traces of resentment.
Back then, Xiao Feng was so captivated by Yu Xiaolian's beauty that he became obsessed and heartlessly abandoned the mother and daughter.
At that time, Xiao Mengjie was still a student on campus, an innocent girl in her early teens, at an age when she had a strong sense of self-esteem and paid special attention to her appearance.
However, the sudden family tragedy struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering her peaceful and beautiful life completely, as if the sky had collapsed in an instant.
Faced with such a huge blow, Xiao Mengjie felt extremely ashamed and helpless.
After all, the fact that her own father had done such a morally and ethically wrong thing made her feel utterly ashamed in front of others, and she could hardly bear even the strange looks from her classmates.
Not only that, her mother also suffered a mental breakdown and went insane because she could not bear the pain of her husband's betrayal.
There was no one else in the family besides the mother and daughter to rely on. Even their grandfather and uncle turned a blind eye to the matter and did not care about their life or death.
With nowhere else to turn, Xiao Mengjie reluctantly chose to drop out of school and resolutely returned home to take care of her mother, who had gone insane.
Whenever Xiao Mengjie recalls those extremely dark days, only four words can describe it—unbearable to look back on!
Those painful memories flooded back like a tide, each scene so unforgettable and heartbreaking.
"Make way, move aside, let me through."
Someone shouted loudly and squeezed into the crowd from the outside.
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Li Sanshui, the village's barefoot doctor.
It turned out that Xiao Shanshan had just seen someone injured, and being a sensible girl, she didn't think much of it and quickly ran to call Li Sanshui.
