However, the pain that might have come did not come.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
The sharp female voice stimulated Mu Huaixi's eardrums. She suddenly looked up at the woman whose arms were grabbed by Ying Mingcheng and called out her name: "Mu Zhao!"
This name seemed to reveal the time that she had deliberately forgotten. Mu Huaixi's heart was in turmoil, but her third cousin, whose name was exposed by her, suddenly stopped going crazy and ran out with her face covered.
There was no trace of the determination he had just shown to fight her.
"Wow!!!" Little Heping was frightened and burst into tears. Little Huihui hugged his sister tightly, with tears in his eyes, but he did not forget to pat his sister on the back.
Ying Mingcheng was about to chase after them, but was stopped by Xiao Xi. It was more important to comfort the children right now.
"Mom, didn't we go to save her? Why is she hitting people?" Little Wu Hui's grievances came to his mind only after his sister stopped crying. He has always been proud of his parents' profession. In the past, he had only seen grateful patients. This was the first time he had seen a madman.
Children do not yet understand the principle of doing good without expecting anything in return, and they just feel aggrieved because their kindness is not rewarded.
Mu Huaixi hugged him and slowly stroked his tough hair. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke, "Mom will tell you a story."
"Once upon a time, there was a farmer who saw a frozen snake on his way home. He kindly put the snake into his clothes, but the snake woke up and bit him."
Xiao Wuhui's eyes widened suddenly, and he frowned and pouted, "Snake is bad!"
"That's right, snakes are bad." Mu Huaixi picked up little Heping beside him and said, "So when we help people, we must ensure our own safety. If the snake was a poisonous snake, the farmer would have died."
"Then how do I know if he is a bad person? I can't just ask when I help him, right?" Little Wu Hui was feeling very righteous. He helped the adults take care of his younger sister at home, peeled garlic in the kitchen, and even offered to run errands.
"Even bad people won't say they are bad people!"
Mu Huaixi looked at his serious distress and suppressed the urge to laugh. "This requires comprehensive judgment, but Xiao Wuhui, you must remember that adults will not ask children for help. If an adult asks you for help, you should go to your parents."
"I understand," Xiao Wu Hui seemed to understand, but then he drew inferences from his own experience, "What if a child, a child younger than me, asks for help?"
"Then you should come find Mom and Dad," Mu Huaixi held him on her lap and answered seriously, "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma are all helpers of Xiao Wuhui, right?"
Ying Wuhui was caressed by his mother's gentle hands, and when he heard her say that she wanted to be his helper, the slight resistance in his heart immediately disappeared. He threw himself into his mother's arms and sweetly agreed, "Yes!"
Mu Huaixi originally didn't want her child to know these complicated "things between adults", but then she thought, children will always grow up. If she had someone to teach her in her previous life, she would not be so stupid, would not foolishly allow her uncle's family to plot against her, and would not be so obedient to being bullied.
Children are innocent, but they also need to know how to protect themselves.
Because of this sudden incident, their trip back to Zhangjiagou was delayed. Ying Mingcheng placed them in the Public Security Bureau and went out to inquire.
"I found out that it was indeed your cousin." When Ying Mingcheng came back, the two little ones had already fallen asleep together. He waved at Mu Huaixi, motioning her to come out and talk.
"Do you still remember that Mu Zhao offered to marry Zhang Hongwei?"
Mu Huaixi nodded. After she and Ying Mingcheng left, the Zhang family and her uncle's family started to fight each other, and no one got any better. She remembered that her uncle's cousin had used his connections to send Zhang Hongwei to prison, but Mu Zhao turned against the Mu family, saying that she and Zhang Hongwei were in a free relationship and demanded that the Mu family pay back the money.
"Well, in the end, your uncle and aunt were imprisoned for two months, and Zhang Hongwei was sentenced to five years. However, he behaved well in prison and was released this year."
Mu Huaixi immediately thought of the bruises and scars on Mu Zhao's body. "This Zhang Hongwei, even if he's released, he'll still be a bastard! He deserves to be locked up for life!"
"Yeah." Ying Mingcheng raised his hand and rubbed her furrowed brow. "Mu Zhao is not innocent either. Mother Zhang is dead."
"Dead?" Mu Huaixi couldn't believe it. Old lady Zhang looked like a sickly person, and she kept saying that she would not live long, but the fact was that she lived longer than her in her previous life!
"Hmm." Ying Mingcheng hesitated. Logically, he shouldn't talk about other people's affairs behind their backs, but it was obvious that this matter was related to them all, and it might be Xiaoxi's concern.
He took a breath and told her everything he had learned. "Mu Zhao and Zhang Hongwei got married in prison, then took the money and moved into the Zhang family's house. She had a bad reputation in the textile factory's family compound. She often quarreled and fought with Zhang's mother, and the matter went to the neighborhood committee office, the Women's Federation, and even the Public Security Bureau."
"ah......"
Mu Huaixi was a little surprised, but not that surprised.
Mu Zhao is not a good person, and neither is the old lady of the Zhang family. When two evil people are together, they can only fight with each other.
"But how did she die?" Mu Huaixi frowned. She remembered that Old Mrs. Zhang had minor illnesses all the time, but no serious illness. Moreover, she was the kind of person who would push her pain onto others and would argue even when she was unreasonable. How could she die suddenly?
Ying Mingcheng frowned. "I heard he fell outside last winter and had to recuperate at home. He passed away before the New Year."
“…”
"At that time, Zhang Hongwei hadn't come out yet, so it was Mu Zhao who arranged the funeral. Although people around her had some suspicions, they couldn't ask her directly. But it was said that Zhang Hongwei traveled around a lot after coming out, and when he got home, he had a fight with Mu Zhao."
Mu Huaixi frowned, not knowing how to comment.
"Zhang Hongwei was quite ruthless and beat Mu Zhao so hard that she had a miscarriage."
“…”
"Huh?" Mu Huaixi widened her eyes. If she heard correctly, Zhang Hongwei had caused Mu Zhao to have a miscarriage as soon as he came out.
This child...
"Mu Zhao is close to several people from the textile factory."
Ying Mingcheng spoke very tactfully, but he still controlled Mu Huaixi for a long time. Her cousin was really a character.
In fact, it is not surprising when you think about it. Mu Zhao and Zhang Hongwei have no feelings for each other. The two of them are together purely for the sake of interests. Zhang Hongwei has even been sent to prison. Even if Mu Zhao wants to divorce and find another one, it is not too much.
But what Mu Huaixi didn't expect was that Mu Zhao moved directly into Zhang's house, not only had an affair with someone else, but also tortured Zhang's mother to death.
"This is really..." Mu Huaixi shook her head and suddenly threw herself into Ying Mingcheng's arms, "Let's go back to Zhangjiagou."
She didn't want to waste time on this crap.
In this life, Zhang Hongwei and Mu Zhao will be each other's nightmares. I hope they will be locked together! Entangled! Never let each other go!
