After all, this kind of thing had happened before. The Xia family came to the school to make trouble, causing Xia Zhichu to suffer a lot of grievances and becoming a joke among his classmates after dinner.
Because of this incident, Xia Zhichu's academic performance was affected, and he even almost suffered from depression. His mental state was very bad.
It was for this reason that Shen Liang appeared later. At that time, the fragile Xia Zhichu needed protection so much that she chose to marry Shen Liang early, trying to use marriage to protect herself.
As a result, Chen Liang failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and caused Xia Zhichu to suffer even greater grievances.
Whenever Chu Tiantian thought of the past, she felt particularly distressed for Xia Zhichu. Therefore, when she accompanied Xia Zhichu back this time, she was already prepared for a counterattack.
Anyway, I won't offend others unless they offend me. If the Xia family is shameless, as her best friend, she will definitely not show mercy!
"Don't worry, as long as Xia Gang is not here, my mother won't go too far."
Xia Zhichu was very sure of this. After all, it was Xia Gang who was stirring up trouble in the entire Xia family. And ever since Xia Gang was taught a lesson by Si Mochen that day, he was afraid that he would not dare to provoke him in the short term.
In addition, Xia Gang was a gambler and was away from home all year round. Xia Zhichu believed that he might not be able to see that beast even if he went back this time.
"Okay, let's go!"
Chu Tiantian gestured to Xia Zhichu to get in the car, fasten his seat belt, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Xia family.
Three hours later.
The car slowly drove into a remote mountain village.
It had been too long since he came back, and the road had to cross mountains and winding hills. Xia Zhichu couldn't bear it and vomited violently on the side of the road as soon as he got off the car.
Chu Tiantian hadn't slept last night, and even though she wasn't in good spirits, she couldn't handle this kind of suffering. She sighed with exhaustion, "I think your house is really too remote. I've been either going up or down the mountain since an hour ago. Even an athlete like me can't handle this kind of tossing and turning."
She had heard Xia Zhichu talk about the situation at home before, and had long guessed how remote it was. She had never expected it to be in such a mountain valley. It was far worse than she had imagined.
Xia Zhichu felt much better after vomiting, but he was still dizzy and had no energy. He felt helpless when he heard Chu Tiantian's complaints.
"There's nothing I can do. The root is right here. I can only let you down."
To be honest, few people are willing to come to such a desolate mountain and wilderness, and most families in the village have moved away. But because the Xia family is poor, they can only hold on to this village.
Chu Tiantian waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since we are here, let's go to your house for a visit." Of course, she was also prepared for the scene of Xia Zhichu's hometown being in a dilapidated state. After all, the people living here are poor, so it must not be much better.
Facts have proved that Xia Zhichu's hometown is really unsightly.
The dilapidated tiled houses have become crooked after years of wind and rain, and some are even half tilted, making them completely uninhabitable.
However, right in the village stands a two-story villa. Although the exterior walls are simply coated with cement, it stands out in this environment.
Xia Zhichu pointed at the house and said, "That's my home. Not long after I married Shen Liang, my brother wanted to bring his girlfriend back to visit. Xia just asked me for money to build it to save face."
Chu Tiantian said "Oh", she didn't expect that the Xia family, thanks to Xia Zhichu, had become the most prestigious family in the village.
The two arrived at the door of the villa, only to find that the door was locked, and it was obvious that no one was home.
"My mother should have gone to the mountains to work. I'll go look for her. As for you, if you're tired, just rest here." After Xia Zhichu finished speaking, he looked up at the location on the mountain. There was their family's farmland there. His mother was not at home, so she should be doing farm work there.
As for Xia, as she had just said, he was addicted to gambling and was away from home all year round. His only younger brother also went away to college, leaving his mother as the only one left at home.
Xia Zhichu felt sad when he thought about it.
If it weren't for Xia Gang who had caused chaos in the family and even treated her as a cash cow, she wouldn't have broken up with the family.
Although he hated this family for so many years, Xia Zhichu could not let go of his mother.
"Since you're here, I'll go for a walk with you. It's boring to sit here alone." Although she was very tired, Chu Tiantian was still curious about what kind of woman Xia Zhichu's mother was.
I heard Xia Zhichu say earlier that this was a miserable woman who had suffered domestic violence from Xia Ganggang for many years, which caused her mental disorder.
It was precisely because of this that every time he was beaten up by Xia Gang, he would take his anger out on Xia Zhichu.
Xia Zhichu thought about it and agreed.
The two climbed up the mountain along the mountain path. From a distance, Xia Zhichu saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat weeding with a hoe.
Because her face was still covered with a headscarf, Xia Zhichu couldn't see the other person's face. Just from her back, she recognized that it was her mother at first sight.
Xia Zhichu didn't shout, but walked closer and stopped directly in front of the woman.
Perhaps because she saw a shadow, the woman slowly raised her head. When she saw this face that was both strange and familiar, she was stunned.
After a while, she trembled with her hands and shouted in disbelief, "Chu, Chuchu?"
Xia Zhichu responded, "It's me."
Xia's mother suddenly lost control of her emotions. She quickly dropped the hoe and rushed towards Xia Zhichu crying with joy.
But when she got closer, she saw her dirty hands and her body covered in dust, while Xia Zhichu was wearing a gorgeous and clean dress. She finally chose to stop one meter away.
Xia Zhichu knew that her mother was worried about getting her clothes dirty.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and daughter, and the unbearable childhood memories could never stop the closeness of the mother-daughter relationship. Xia Zhichu finally let go of all her hatred and took the initiative to hug her.
"Mom, I'm back!"
The reason for breaking up with the Xia family was Xia Ganggang's greed. His mother was too cowardly and was led by Xia Ganggang, which led to Xia Zhichu's despair of this family and he finally took the initiative to sever ties.
In fact, after so many years, the reason why Xia Zhichu was willing to give money to the Xia family was ultimately because of his mother.
After all, this woman is the mother who gave birth to her after ten months of pregnancy.
Without her, there would be no Xia Zhichu.
"I'm sorry. It's all because of my uselessness that I made you suffer for so many years. It's also because of my cruelty that I joined Xia Ganggang in exploiting you and making you always be tied down by this family."
Mother Xia was so excited that her whole body was shaking.
She didn't expect that Xia Zhichu was still willing to come back to see her today, so she hugged Xia Zhichu and shed hot tears.
Xia Zhichu was also in a bad mood. After not seeing his mother for so many years, he realized how old she had become. Not only were her temples gray, but even her hands were as rough as tree bark.
In addition, the exposed skin was extremely dark and even had ugly scars, which were obviously the marks left by Xia Gang's violence.
At this moment, Xia Zhichu's hatred for Xia Ganggang escalated to an unforgivable level.
