Chapter 384
Zuo Xu'an had become accustomed to such treatment. He picked up the bowl and ate slowly, taking small bites, as if he was savoring a delicacy.
In fact, he was afraid of eating too fast.
He didn't even have time to taste the food before it was gone.
Lunch is over.
Zuo Xu'an went to wash the dishes. After he finished, Zhao Qiongzhi asked him to clean the yard.
The small, thin boy was sweeping the floor with a broom.
In the room, Zhao Qiongzhi was tidying up the closet.
She suddenly took out a pink dress and her expression changed immediately.
By the time she reacted, her eyes were already red with anger. She turned and rushed out of the room, picked up the ruler on the windowsill, and hit Zuo Xu'an on the back.
The sudden blow of the stick made Zuo Xu'an fall to the ground, his face full of pain, but he habitually endured it and didn't cry out.
"You bastard, you're just as bastard as your mother! Go die if you dare. Why are you leaving me with a burden after you die? You too, why are you still alive when you're like this?"
She suddenly went crazy and stepped forward to step on Zuo Xuan's head with her foot, "If you dare to cry, I will let you spend the night with Spider tonight."
Zuo Xu'an shook his head in horror, begging for mercy, "Aunt, I know I was wrong. I will definitely sweep the floor well. It was my fault just now. Please, don't hit me. It hurts so much!"
"Does it hurt? Of course it hurts. Your mother was a cheap woman for giving birth to you." Zhao Qiongzhi would not really beat Zuo Xu'an to death, but she would definitely not let him have an easy time.
She wanted him to live in pain every day, not only physical pain, but also mental torture.
She let go of Zuo Xu'an, looked up at the sky and smiled: "Zhao Lan'er, did you see that? The bastard you gave birth to is being bullied by me. He will be bullied by me for the rest of his life."
Not giving him food was naturally to prevent him from growing tall and big so that she wouldn't be able to beat him in the future.
She wanted to raise him into a useless piece of shit, a social scum who would do poorly in study, have mental problems, and couldn't even grow tall.
She would torture him for the rest of his life.
"Get up and continue sweeping the floor." Zhao Qiongzhi ordered coldly.
Zuo Xu'an felt a tightness in his chest due to the pain, even though he had just been treated and he felt very comfortable.
Now he felt very uncomfortable again, with pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, internal organs, limbs and bones.
Zuo Xu'an continued sweeping the floor with his head down.
Zhao Qiongzhi returned to the room, picked up the pink dress, went to the sink and lit it with a lighter.
Her eyes were as vicious as if they were filled with poison.
Zuo Xu'an kept shedding tears of fear, but he had no choice. The intense fear had already made his mind numb.
He thought that as long as he grew up, everything would be fine.
Jin Chaochao discovered through surveillance that Zhao Qiongzhi's abuse of Zuo Xu'an seemed to be intentional.
She seemed to be taking revenge on her children for all the hatred of the previous generation.
But the child is so innocent.
She called Pei Huan and said, "Send someone over. We have the evidence."
The witnesses are her and Grandma Chen, and the physical evidence is the video, the basement, and the injuries on Zuo Xuan'an's body.
Zhao Qiongzhi can't deny it this time.
Soon the police arrived.
More than a dozen policemen surrounded Zhao Qiongzhi's home.
Zuo Xu'an was still sweeping the floor, not knowing what had happened.
Zhao Qiongzhi was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. When she saw the police barging in, she didn't react yet and said, "Comrade police, what are you doing?"
"Ms. Zhao Qiongzhi, someone has reported that you have been abusing children for a long time. Please come with us." Pei Huan raised his hand to signal, and two policemen stepped forward and handcuffed Zhao Qiongzhi directly.
Zhao Qiongzhi reacted and began to struggle, "Don't touch me, you have no evidence, why are you arresting people at random?"
Pei Huan smiled, "Who said we don't have evidence? Let's go to the police station and tell them what we have."
The two policemen dragged her into the police car regardless of how she made a fuss.
After the police car drove away, Jin Chaochao came out and said, "I'll take you to the basement."
Pei Huan followed Jin Chaochao to the basement. When everyone saw that these torture instruments were used on a child, they all fell silent.
At this moment, Zhao Qiongzhi's husband and children were all out.
After she was arrested, Zuo Xu'an was at a loss.
Jin Chaochao and Pei Huan came out of the basement and saw Zuo Xu'an sitting on a stool with two policemen in front of him asking about the situation.
No matter how the police asked, Zuo Xuan refused to speak.
He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know if his aunt would abuse him even more severely when she came back after he said it.
"Zuo Xu'an, this is your only chance to leave your aunt. Tell the police everything about how she beat you over the years. We will take care of it for you!" Jin Chaochao walked up, sat next to him and patted his hands.
Zuo Xuan widened his eyes anxiously, his face full of innocence, "Where can I go if I leave my aunt?"
"Orphanage, go wherever you want to go, there you won't be bullied anymore." Jin Chaochao said.
Zuo Xu'an shook his head. "My aunt said that the director of the orphanage eats people. If you go there, you will be beaten to death. I've seen movies where the children in the orphanage all starved to death in the end."
The police were speechless.
Zhao Qiongzhi is truly inhumane. Not only did she abuse the child, she also brainwashed the child, creating the illusion that the child cannot leave her and will be worse off if she leaves him.
To the extent that, even at this moment, Zuo Xu'an still didn't dare to tell the truth.
Jin Chaochao was speechless.
She didn't know whether to praise Zhao Qiongzhi for her intelligence or say that she was vicious.
She deceived a child, and one day the child will grow up.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. If this continues, Zuo Xuan will definitely go to extremes in the future.
Fortunately, he was still young at that time and could still be saved.
The policewoman patiently advised, "No, there are many children without parents in the orphanage. Everyone can play together, have delicious food, and make good friends. Your aunt lied to you. Do you still want to live with your aunt?"
This time Zuo Xu'an wavered.
He dreamed of escaping from his aunt, but the outside world was full of bad people.
He was afraid of being kidnapped and killed, so he didn't dare leave his home.
Jin Chaochao sighed, "Good boy, there are more good people in this world. Your aunt abused you, which is a crime. Look, the police are here to arrest her. If you have any grievances, just tell us, and we will all stand up for you."
At this time, Dean Chen also arrived.
She walked up to Zuo Xu'an and said earnestly, "Child, if you are willing, I can adopt you. I promise to keep you well fed and well clothed, and to grow up healthy."
Zuo Xuan had a very good impression of Grandma Chen.
Because several times, she stuffed food into his mouth.
Zuo Xu'an's eyes were red. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then burst into tears.
He seemed to be venting the grievances he had suffered over the years. After crying enough, he stammered out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Including how Zhao Qiongzhi beat him, when she beat him, and how many times a day she beat him.
What it looks like when the beating is the most severe.
How do you threaten him, make him work, and not give him food...
The police officer who was taking the statement was so angry that his face turned red as he wrote, "How could this woman be so vicious? This child was abused at the age of four. It is really a miracle that he can survive until now."
