"So what's your decision?" Zhou Xiang asked.
"I wanted to leave, but I endured it because I thought they were my biological parents."
"How do you want to leave? Get married or call the police?"
Tang Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, then gave the answer Dong Yunrong was most expecting, "Call the police."
Dong Yunrong clapped her hands, "That's right! It's worth our active concern for you."
Tang Xiaolian smiled with tears in her eyes. Just now, she decided to call the police because she saw the expectation in Zhou Xiang's mother-in-law's eyes. She couldn't let down the people who cared about her.
"So, are you injured?"
Tang Xiaolian nodded, stood up and took off her old and large cotton coat. The sweater underneath was not only short but also had holes in it.
Taking off the sweater, it was revealed that it was a men's autumn coat. Tang Xiaolian pulled the coat and said, "This is my father's, no, it's my adoptive father's old autumn coat. My adoptive mother said it would be a pity to throw it away, and I am the only one in the family who can wear it. The sweater is my brother's, and the cotton coat is my adoptive mother's."
Dong Yunrong sneered, "It's just right. Let people see what kind of treatment you, a girl in her twenties, have endured."
Tang Xiaolian pulled up Qiu Yi's sleeves, revealing her arms covered in purple and blue. "My adoptive mother often pinches me. If I cry, she pinches me even harder."
Putting down her sleeves, Tang Xiaolian turned around again and lifted the clothes on her back. "This back injury has been there for nine years. When I wanted to go to high school, my adoptive mother disagreed. I argued with her a few times, and she hit me with a broken stool leg.
I hid my head in my hands, and she hit me on the back repeatedly, breaking my skin. She didn't send me to the hospital, but just bandaged me at home.
It was hot during the summer vacation, and my back became inflamed and pus-filled. I was sent to the hospital to have the flesh scraped and the inflammation reduced. It wasn’t until October that I was completely healed, and my high school career was ruined.
Whenever it’s cloudy or rainy, my back aches a little. Perhaps I had a bone fracture in the past.”
Dong Yunrong covered her mouth and cried. The scars on her back were even more severe than those on her face. There were large potholes all over them. They should be the scars left after scraping the pus. How could she endure it when she was only a teenager?
Zhou Xiang gently pulled her clothes off and handed her a sweater. "Put it on! It's cold. We'll go report the case now. After that, you don't have to go back to the Tang family. Is there anything else you need to take with you?"
Tang Xiaolian replied as she put on her clothes, "Yes, it's probably going to be a full schoolbag. How am I supposed to get it out?"
There were so many things that Tang Xiaolian couldn't take them away secretly. Anyway, there was already a big loophole. "Then let's go with you after reporting the case!"
"good."
"When everything is settled, your face needs plastic surgery, and your back as well! I just want to ask, do you want to change your appearance? To become a look that no one else can recognize, and even your own parents won't recognize you in the future."
Tang Xiaolian immediately shook her head, "No, if I change my appearance, my past will seem to be erased. I don't want that. I still have good classmates like you and Li Li! I don't want to change my appearance to get along with you guys."
If you don't want to change, then don't change! If those parents dare to come and pester me, they will be embarrassed. "You mean you won't leave Huai County?"
"Don't leave. I'll go with you."
Tang Xiaolian smiled happily. She could finally get close to Zhou Xiang with a legitimate reason.
Seeing the smile on her face, Zhou Xiang teased her, "Tang Xiaolian, are you in love with me?"
Tang Xiaolian nodded seriously, "Yes, I fell in love with her at first sight when I was in fourth grade at Shixiao Primary School."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Tang Xiaolian, that's my wife, please be careful."
The three women in the room laughed, and the solemn and sad atmosphere just now disappeared.
Tang Xiaolian took Zhou Xiang's arm and said, "Zhou Xiang, you are like fire, very explosive and scorching. I feel that being close to you can warm me up."
"As long as you're not afraid of getting burned, you can get closer to keep warm. But don't change your orientation, or my Ling Ran will be worried."
"Don't be afraid. Of course I approach you because I like you. Do those people around you hate you?"
"That makes sense. Let's go, call the police right away. The police might even take you to the hospital for X-rays and an assessment of your injuries. Once everything is arranged, come back to my house and see our three treasures."
"Um!"
The door opened, and Ling Ran turned around to see Tang Xiaolian still holding his wife's arm. He immediately pulled his wife back and said, "This is my wife."
Tang Xiaolian looked at her empty arms and said, "Zhou Xiang, how can you stand such a jealous person?"
"If you love him, you can tolerate everything about him."
Ling Ran immediately smiled, revealing his big white teeth. His wife loved him.
Tang Xiaolian covered her eyes, unable to look at the couple.
Dong Yunrong smiled brightly, "Let's go! We're in a hurry."
Dong Yunyue was surprised to see her sister and the others taking Tang Xiaolian away. "Where are you taking her?"
Dong Yunrong turned around and said, "Sister, if Jin Guizhi comes to fight you later, can you win?"
"Fight? I've never been afraid of anyone. Let her do it, but she has to let me know the reason so that I have a reason to beat her up."
"Tang Xiaolian is the Tang family's adopted daughter. She abused her adopted daughter. Tang Xiaolian still has serious injuries from nine years ago."
Adopted daughter? Dong Yunyue was surprised. No wonder, no wonder she was beaten and scolded, and the scolding was so harsh. Nine years ago? "Tang Xiaolian, was it the summer when you didn't leave the house for several months and your mother said you were sick?"
Tang Xiaolian nodded.
Dong Yunrong spitted, "Bullshit! Just because Tang Xiaolian wanted to go to high school, she beat her up and didn't even take her to the hospital. Humph! I've never seen such a vicious woman like her. Big sister, let's call the police right now. She's going to be arrested. Don't be afraid of her, just fight her."
