Chapter 1241: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (7)
The original owner, who was bewitched by her parents, actually attacked Duzhou's two children. Duzhou often had to go on business trips, and it was normal for him to be away from home for ten days or half a month. Therefore, she secretly withheld the two children's food, abused them, and threatened them not to tell the adults. The two children were starved and abused by her, and soon became pale, thin, timid and cowardly.
After being abused for more than half a year, the young Du Xiaoling could not bear it anymore. She was physically weak and had suffered from the abuse of the original owner. She was under great mental pressure and was tortured physically and mentally, so she became seriously ill. However, the original owner deliberately concealed the fact and did not take her to see a doctor. Only when she could no longer hide it did she send Du Xiaoling to the hospital for treatment. However, most of the money she had was given to her parents' home, and she was reluctant to spend the remaining money on Du Xiaoling, so Du Xiaoling soon died of illness.
When Du Xiaoling died, Du Zhou was on a business trip and had not returned. When he returned home, Du Xiaoling had already been buried and he was unable to see her for the last time. So the cause of her death was actually concealed by the original owner. Du Zhou only thought that his daughter died of a serious illness that could not be cured. He never thought that she was killed by the original owner's cruel abuse. Therefore, although he was sad, he did not doubt the original owner.
After getting rid of Du Xiaoling, the original owner set his sights on Du Xiaoshi. Du Xiaoshi was already five or six years old, and his physical endurance was stronger than Du Xiaoling's. Therefore, even though he was weak, his life was not in danger. The cruel original owner took advantage of Du Zhou's business trip again and took Du Xiaoshi to a crowded train station, and deliberately "accidentally" separated him. As expected, the last time, Du Xiaoshi was captured by human traffickers.
Accidents happened to the two children one after another, and coincidentally, they happened while Duzhou was on a business trip. Duzhou finally realized something was wrong. He began to investigate privately and found out that the original owner had taken Du Xiaoshi out for no reason several times. When he asked the original owner the reason, the original owner hesitated and could not give a reasonable reason, so Duzhou became suspicious of her.
The police were called, and after strict interrogation by the police, the original owner had to admit that she deliberately took Du Xiaoshi to the station so that he would "get lost". Finally, she admitted to abusing the siblings and not treating Du Xiaoling's illness, which led to her death.
The original owner, who had committed many evil deeds, was sentenced to death. Duzhou hated her so much that he refused to claim her body after her death. As for instigating the original owner to get rid of the child's parents and brother? He had already severed ties with her when she was arrested and refused to acknowledge that she was a member of the Wan family.
After the original owner died, Du Zhou quit his job as a truck driver and traveled all over the country looking for Du Xiaoshi, but after searching for decades, until he was in his seventies and eighties, he still couldn't find his son and died with regrets.
When Shi Chuyi thought of what the original owner did in the original world, he wanted to capture her soul to see if it was evil. How could she do this to two young children? It was really hateful and abominable.
Duzhou was really unlucky to meet the original owner. Not only was he forced to marry her, but she also caused one of his two children to die and one to be abducted. His later years were miserable. This situation was really to the point that "even if he became a ghost, he would not let her go."
Shi Chu sighed, this was why she was especially tolerant towards Du Xiaoling and Du Xiaoshi. The original owners had committed a sin, and as someone who had replaced their identity, even if she didn't compensate them, she couldn't harm them again.
It took Shi Chu more than half an hour to reach the town, where he found a supply and marketing cooperative, bought some cloth and sugar, and then went to a butcher stall to buy a pound of pork. Duzhou was back, and vegetables alone could not fill his stomach - of course, this was also because Duzhou's salary allowed them to buy meat several times a month.
She returned to the village carrying large and small bags, which really aroused the envy of the villagers. The jealous ones stared at the things in her hands and made sarcastic remarks about Shi Chu, saying that she was a spendthrift and spent money lavishly, and that if Duzhou married her, the family's money would be squandered by her soon.
Shi Chu took these sour words as good words. After all, she had money to spend, and they could only watch and then say a few words. The more jealous they were, the happier Shi Chu was.
When she returned home, Du Zhou and the two children were already at home. Seeing her coming back with things, Du Xiaoling and Du Xiaoshi immediately rushed towards her.
"Auntie, what did you buy?" Du Xiaoling asked Shi Chu with shining eyes.
Du Xiaoshi also looked at her expectantly.
"I bought some cloth, sugar and meat." Shi Chu replied.
"Sugar!" This was all the two children heard. After all, they had just eaten meat last night and were not too greedy at the moment. However, sugar is children's favorite.
"White sugar is not candy. Your father bought a lot of candy, enough for you to eat for a while. You can't make this white sugar. Auntie will make dumplings for you in the future." Shi Chu said.
"Tangyuan?" Du Xiaoling was a little confused. She didn't quite remember whether she had eaten it before, but when she heard the name, her mouth started to water. She thought it was delicious, so she said happily, "I want to eat it!"
"It will take a while before we do it." Shi Chu told her.
"Tangyuan are sweet, soft and glutinous, and so delicious!" Du Xiaoshi has a few years longer memory than his sister, so he remembers what Tangyuan tastes like. When he talks about it, his face is full of aftertaste, which makes Du Xiaoling look forward to Tangyuan very much.
Duzhou watched her getting along with the two children and did not find that the children showed any rejection or dislike for Shi Chu. Instead, they were willing to be close to her. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shi Chu was very good to the two children, otherwise the children would not be so close to her.
After coming to this conclusion, Duzhou's disgust towards Shi Chu forcing him to get married disappeared a lot. If Shi Chu was willing to treat the two children as her own, he could forgive her for forcing her in the future.
Of course, she had only been married for two or three months, and it was too short a time to tell whether she was pretending or not, and whether her true colors would be exposed over time, so Duzhou did not completely believe her.
As for when she has her own biological children in the future, will she be displeased with the two children?
Duzhou was not worried about this, because he and she would not have children. He did not even want to touch her, so where would the children come from? He already had two children, Xiaoling and Xiaoshi, which was enough.
Shi Chu didn't know that Duzhou's feelings towards her had changed a lot. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care, because if she and Duzhou exchanged identities, she would have the same thoughts as Duzhou. This is human nature.
"What are you buying the cloth for? I brought back new clothes for Xiaoling and Xiaoshi yesterday." Duzhou asked when he saw that Shi Chu had also bought some cloth.
When Shi Chu heard what he said, he paused and asked him, "Except for the two children, do other people in the family not need to wear clothes?"
Duzhou choked and realized that the clothes Shi Chu was wearing were so old that the original color could not be seen, and there were several patches on them. If she had not gained some weight and her skin had become whiter, others would have thought she was a beggar.
