"Huanxin is a child with a miserable life. She only finished elementary school before following me into the factory to work. She used to be able to get by, but ever since the factory got a new manager last year, her life has been miserable!"
Zhao Xiaoyun choked up again when she spoke of this, but she quickly suppressed her sobs and continued, "That factory director is called Chen Dafei, he's already 45 years old, and he's set his sights on our Huan Xin. How could he possibly agree to such a thing?
He is an old pervert who pretends to be nice to Huanxin in our family every day. I know he has bad intentions, so I always keep a close eye on him and take Huanxin with him wherever he goes.
But just a few days ago, Huanxin fell ill with a severe fever. We usually live in the factory dormitory. When I went out to buy her something, that damned Chen Dafei broke into our dormitory and almost killed our Huanxin...
If I hadn't returned in time, our family's happiness would have been too late in this life!"
Although Zhao Xiaoyun didn't say the key words, Tao Wenwen certainly understood them.
In this era, the word "rape" is as difficult to talk about as dirty things. For a girl, losing her innocence is almost the same as losing her life. She is clearly the victim but has to be humiliated and aggrieved.
Tao Wenwen stood up and got them some things to treat their wounds, then asked, "What happened to your injuries?"
"...her father beat us. He knew that I had secretly entered the city to sue Chen Dafei, and he planned to beat us both to death. He knew that Chen Dafei had taken a fancy to Huanxin, and Chen Dafei offered fifty yuan to buy Huanxin, and he agreed..." Zhao Xiaoyun burst into tears again.
She beat her chest and stamped her feet, hatred swirling in her eyes. "He's a damned bastard, so heartless that he even sold his own daughter. How could I end up with a man like this who even harmed my own daughter!"
Tao Wenwen said, "You can get a divorce."
"I've thought about it, but her father is an alcoholic, and the family relies on the little money Huanxin and I make from working in the factory. How will they survive if we get divorced? I absolutely don't agree!"
Zhao Xiaoyun pointed at the wounds on their faces and bodies and said, "This is the price I paid for filing for divorce last night. Her father wanted to sell her out, and of course I disagreed. But as soon as I mentioned divorce, he beat us to death!"
"We really can't live like this. Girl, please help us with your kindness!" Zhao Xiaoyun held Tao Wenwen's hand again.
"Even if you want to ask my eldest brother for help, you must have evidence if you want to sue someone." Tao Wenwen said, pushing the water in front of them.
"I don't know much about legal matters like this. So, I'll be going to the city in a few days. You can come with me then. You can talk to my eldest brother in person about the details.
But I guess Chen Dalong’s situation isn’t that easy to handle…”
There was no evidence of attempted rape, and in those days there were no cameras to record videos or anything like that to collect evidence.
People like this who dare to do such things are usually not afraid and must have thought of a countermeasure long ago.
However, Tao Wenwen did not say these words, for fear of undermining their confidence.
She continued, "If you want a divorce, it would be easier to handle."
"Really!" Dong Huanxin, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke upon hearing this. A glint appeared in her lifeless eyes. "Then, do you have any ideas? If you can help my mom get a divorce, I'll serve you for the rest of my life!"
"Why do I need you to serve me when I have hands and feet?" Tao Wenwen chuckled.
This mother and daughter pair are so cute. They keep silent when they have their own problems, but they rush to speak when they encounter each other's problems.
It also indirectly shows that each of them values the other more.
