Chapter 337: He is covering up his wounds.

The man is very good at pretending. He works hard and takes care of his family outside. When he comes home, he closes the door. When he drinks too much, he will commit domestic violence. He will also cover the woman's mouth to prevent her screams from being heard by the neighbors.

The woman wanted to escape, but the man threatened her that if she dared to mention separation or divorce, he would kill the woman's family.

The days went by in a daze until Guo Peng was born.

"At that time, my daughter Pengpeng's surname was not Guo, but Qian - Qian was my husband's surname. Later, when he died, I changed Pengpeng's surname to mine."

The woman then remembered to introduce herself, "My name is Guo Aihua."

When she was holding Guo Peng, the man seemed to have changed his temper and never beat her again.

Guo Aihua thought, as some people said, that men would change after having children.

She thought the man had returned to his gentle self before marriage.

But she didn't expect that after Guo Peng was born, the man returned to his true nature and beat and scolded her at home.

At that time, Guo Aihua finally understood that the man didn't beat her when she was pregnant, just because he had physical problems and it was difficult to have children. Guo Peng was his only hope, so he restrained himself during pregnancy.

The man didn't love her at all, he just regarded her as a tool for giving birth to offspring!

Guo Aihua wanted to divorce many times, but she was afraid that the man would kill her parents. She gradually became numb to the man's beatings and insults, but occasionally she would hold little Guo Peng and cry silently.

But no one can really be numb to pain. Every time Guo Aihua was beaten, she cursed the man to death in her heart countless times.

However, Guo Aihua did not expect that day to come so suddenly. She

only remembered that it was a rainy day, and the man was upset at work, so he went home to drink.

When he was drunk, the man punched and kicked her as usual.

The man was probably more upset that day, so he was more ruthless. The man who never hit her in the face before grabbed her hair and slammed her face against the table, causing her nose to bleed.

The man looked at her crying with blood all over her face and laughed.

The laughter did not last long and stopped abruptly.

Instead, it was replaced by screams.

The man and Guo Aihua turned around in shock and saw a thin little boy who was less than 1.5 meters tall, holding a sharp fruit knife in his hand, stabbing into the man's lower back.

"You!"

The man looked at the little boy in disbelief, and subconsciously wanted to push him away and run out for help.

The little boy probably sensed his intention, so he pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the waist again!

With one stab after another, the man fell in a pool of blood, and the little boy did not stop.

Guo Aihua stared at all this in a daze, watching his son, who used to be well-behaved and taciturn, with tears and snot all over his face. His face was clearly filled with fear and terror, but he kept stabbing his father with a knife, his face stained red with blood.

Finally, a neighbor who heard the man's screams broke in and pulled the little boy away.

But the man had already stopped breathing.

The police arrived quickly, and after several days of investigation and interrogation, they learned everything that had happened in Guo Aihua's home. In view of Guo Peng's young age, they did not punish him, but only sent people to visit him regularly to confirm the situation.

Fortunately, the neighbors watched Guo Aihua grow up. When they saw the horrible wounds exposed by Guo Aihua to prove herself, no one said anything bad about her or Guo Peng. Instead, they cared more about her than usual.

Without her husband, Guo Aihua took her children back to her parents' home and returned to a peaceful and happy life.

Except for the first one or two months, Guo Peng often had nightmares and had to have someone to sleep with him. After that, nothing special happened.

Until Guo Peng's thirteenth birthday -

Guo Aihua asked Guo Peng to invite good friends from school and held a small birthday party at home.

After everyone left, Guo Aihua handed the gift she had prepared to her son and asked him with a smile: "Today is Pengpeng's birthday. Mom can also grant Pengpeng one wish. What does Pengpeng want?"

"Mom, can I sleep with you today?"

At that time, Guo Peng's voice was a little trembling, "I got up at night to pee these days. I always see Dad standing by my bed, staring at me, I'm scared..."

But he is already a man in junior high school, he can no longer act like a child and let his grandparents or mother sleep with him, so he endured his fear these days, hiding in the quilt and shivering, and he didn't dare to go to the toilet until he felt his bladder was about to explode in the morning.

After hearing what Guo Peng said, Guo Aihua's first reaction was that she had seen a ghost, but who would dare to mention this during such a special period?

Guo Aihua's family was also highly educated and believed in science. She thought that Guo Peng might have killed the man himself, leaving a psychological shadow and causing hallucinations.

"Okay, Mommy will sleep with Peng Peng, so that he won't dare to come and scare you. If he dares to come, Mommy will help you drive him away!"

Guo Aihua coaxed Guo Peng to sleep.

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by Guo Peng.

With the faint moonlight outside the window, Guo Aihua watched Guo Peng shivering and crawling towards her, pointing at the end of the bed and trembling, "Mom, look, he is there, looking at me...looking at me..."

Guo Aihua looked in the direction of Guo Peng's finger -

it was empty, there was nothing.

A chill surged in her heart.

In the days that followed, in order to ease her son's anxiety, Guo Aihua always accompanied Guo Peng.

But Guo Peng's condition did not improve.

At first, he just pointed to a place at night and said "Dad is watching me there."

Later, Guo Peng could also see men during the day.

Once, Guo Aihua took Guo Peng out to buy things. When they were walking on the road, Guo Peng suddenly screamed and ran away. As a result, he was hit by a bicycle and his ankle was broken.

Guo Aihua took him to the hospital and asked him what happened.

Guo Peng said, "I turned my head and saw my father looking at me closely. I was scared by him."

Guo Aihua then realized that the problem seemed to be getting more and more serious, and it seemed that it could not be simply explained by "being scared".

So she took Guo Peng to have a physical examination.

But the results of the examination were normal.

But there were also new discoveries.

During the examination, Guo Peng had to take off his clothes.

At first, he was reluctant to do so.

Guo Aihua thought that the nurse who was doing the examination was a woman and that her son was shy, so she asked the nurse to find a male doctor.

But Guo Peng still refused to take off his clothes, and he was in a stalemate with Guo Aihua and the doctor.

The head nurse who learned the news came and said a few words to Guo Peng, and suddenly called Guo Aihua out.

"Comrade Guo."

The head nurse said sternly, "It can be seen that you are not the kind of person who would beat children."

Guo Peng's behavior can be called "willful". If it were an ordinary parent, even if they did not beat their children, they would scold or yell at them.

But Guo Aihua kept persuading Guo Peng gently. Seeing Guo Peng acting coquettishly to Guo Aihua, it can be understood that the mother and son have a good relationship.

Guo Aihua said hurriedly: "Of course I won't hit my child! To be honest, my husband used to love domestic violence, and what I hate most is violence."

Therefore, she has always been educating her children by talking about reason without using physical force.

"Then there is only one possibility."

The head nurse said: "Your son... is likely to have been bullied. He didn't take off his clothes, and he is probably trying to cover up something, such as..."

"Wounds!"
