Hu Guihua leaned against the door, silently shedding tears, and couldn't help but think of her biological mother and niece whom she met yesterday: She shouldn't have lived like this...
She had to know that her two daughters would also be targeted by their adoptive mother, and would naturally treat them as tools for her and her children to live a comfortable life. She should not have given birth to them in the first place, letting them endure strange looks and suffer such hardships.
Hu Guihua hid in the house and refused to go out. Qian Liuni had no choice but to stop washing her feet and get on the kang. She asked Hu Xiaofu to get some steamed buns from the pot for the mother and daughter. That was the meal. Tomorrow, she would ask Hu Guihua to cook some dishes for them.
When Hu Guihua was being chased and beaten by the sick Hu Xiaofu, Hu Xiaoyi was hiding in the crowd and saw it, and she felt very sympathetic towards her.
Early the next morning, she rode her bike to the restaurant to find Li Yutong.
Hu Xiaoyi didn't know where Li Yutong and her grandmother Chen Xiaoying lived, but this breakfast shop was very famous in Kaiyuan City, so she came directly there.
Li Yutong happened to be here to help.
When I saw Hu Xiaoyi coming, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
If there was nothing important, Hu Xiaoyi wouldn't have come here so early in the morning.
"Grandma, Xiaoyi is here."
Li Yutong quickly told Chen Xiaoying who was sorting the signs at the counter.
Chen Xiaoying looked up and saw the girl with a ponytail and several moles on her face. She was Hu Xiaoyi whom she had met yesterday.
"Is there anything wrong? Let's go upstairs and talk."
It was busy at that time and people were coming and going in the store. Chen Xiaoying asked Li Yutong to take Hu Xiaoyi to the second floor quickly.
She herself asked her third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan, to watch over here.
Zhao Xueyan had a hard time during the past few days. She wasn't tired from work, but she was mentally exhausted.
Her husband Li Hongqiang stole a motorcycle in another city, not only causing the owner to be hospitalized for treatment, but he was also arrested by the police. She felt like a cactus was stuffed in her heart.
She wanted to divorce Li Hongqiang, but her child was still young. How would she live with the child after the divorce? Would the children at school laugh at her daughter for having no father?
She felt more at ease when she heard that her elder brother Li Hongwei and her second brother Li Hongjian had gone to help.
She was also curious about who that girl was just now?
In the office on the second floor, Hu Xiaoyi went straight to the point and told what happened yesterday.
She asked Chen Xiaoying: "Grandma Chen, Aunt Guihua is so pitiful. You are her biological mother. How are you going to help her?"
"Alas, her adoptive mother is blind, and that Hu Xiaofu is not only stupid but also violent. Aunt Guihua has suffered so much injustice."
When Chen Xiaoying listened, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and it hurt so much.
"Good girl, thank you for telling me this. I will think of a way today to bring her back as soon as possible."
She has a ready-made house and can directly pick up people and have them live there.
When Li Yutong brought Hu Xiaoyi downstairs to eat, Chen Xiaoying couldn't control her emotions and started crying again.
Her poor daughter has been living a life worse than death for so many years.
Chen Xiaoying cried for a while, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up surprisingly. She knew how to get her daughter out of that kind of family.
After Li Yutong sent Hu Xiaoyi away, she came up to find her grandmother Chen Xiaoying.
Chen Xiaoying has already thought of a solution.
"Xiao Yu, I have thought of a way to save your aunt. Please listen to it and see if it works."
Li Yutong nodded: "Grandma, go ahead."
Chen Xiaoying said, "What we were worried about at the beginning was that the Hu family would use the grace of raising your aunt to bind her for life. What grace of raising her? If their family is a human trafficker, how can we, the people who lost the child, talk about the grace of raising her with the human traffickers?"
"I can raise my own child, why would I need you to support him?"
When Li Yutong heard this, she also thought this was a good idea: "Grandma, I think it's okay, but what are you going to do?"
If they forcefully took the people away from Hujiazhuang, she was 100% sure that her eldest aunt Hu Guihua's blind adoptive mother would drag her stupid son to the door of her store and cry and beg to see her daughter, especially if she knew that her grandmother was rich, she might even come to rely on her.
If you live a life of luxury with your adopted daughter for the rest of your life, she might even make more excessive demands.
"If this family treats my aunt well, our family can support them. We can hire a nanny for them. Even if we pay them 2,000 yuan a month, it should be enough. If they are gone, we can help them with their funeral arrangements."
"But this family is actually still thinking about finding a wife for their stupid son? Why didn't they think so before? Xiaoyi just said that it was my eldest aunt's adoptive mother who said that my eldest aunt's two children have been working outside for almost two years and have saved some money. Can they find a wife for their uncle? This..."
She felt suffocated just listening to it.
This is not a bottomless pit. If you don’t fill it up yourself, you can stop in time.
But her aunt, the adoptive mother, was like two huge mountains pressing down on the backs of her aunt, her mother and her two daughters. Unless they died, there was no way they could get rid of them.
Chen Xiaoying felt upset and wiped her tears with her handkerchief before she said, "I'm going to the police station to report the case today."
Li Yutong thought about it. Her grandfather was still suffering from hemiplegia and walked with a limp. If the police took him to the police station again, she didn’t know how scared he would be.
But compared to the suffering her eldest aunt had endured over the past forty-eight years, this was nothing.
"Okay, grandma, I support you." Since school is about to start in a few days, she quickly helps her grandma settle the matter.
Anyway, truth cannot be hidden. In order to save her aunt, she can only put her grandfather Li Pingwang and Li Hongyan aside. After enjoying a peaceful life for so many years, it is time for them to pay off their debts.
Chen Xiaoying didn't want to stop for a moment, so she went to the police station and sued Li Pingwang, Li Jianzhong and Liang Xiuqing.
Everyone at the police station was a little dumbfounded.
"Auntie, the statute of limitations is only twenty years, and your daughter has been missing forty-eight years. We can't take this case."
Chen Xiaoying shook her head: "I know this is hard to say, but they have indeed broken the law. You should at least go to the village to ask..."
The people at the police station won’t do it.
Chen Xiaoying was a little dumbfounded. She couldn't expect this result.
Li Yutong had thought about this when she came, and asked tentatively: "I have no other request, just ask you to go to the village and ask Li Pingwang and Li Jianzhong. They stole the child and broke the law."
Then they told Hu Guihua where she was and how much suffering she had endured.
Li Yutong pretended to be pitiful and cried, "My dear aunt is so pitiful. She is already 48 years old. If we don't rescue her, her life will be over. They are trafficking in human beings, which is illegal. You are the people's servants, why don't you do anything?"
Chen Xiaoying also cried in pain: "My poor daughter, they actually sold her to such a family. She has lived a life worse than death for forty-eight years. I want to take her back to live a stable life for a few years. Is that not possible?"
This is really tragic.
In the early years, medical standards were poor and not widely available. Pregnant women rarely had prenatal checkups, or they didn’t know if the baby had problems until they grew up. There were also cases where the baby had a high fever, but family members thought it was no big deal and just burned the baby into a fool.
There are a few fools in every village.
Everyone knows how much of a burden a stupid son will be to the family.
