Chapter 221 Persuading Divorce
After the four of them finished their meal, Chen Tang wanted to make things clear: "Sister-in-law, we will be back in two days. If you need anything, just tell me."
Hong Xiu smiled shyly: "I know your good intentions, but women have a hard life. Everyone has been through this. I am really sorry to trouble you this time."
Chen Tang asked doubtfully, "Did sister-in-law have such a hard time when she was at Comrade Dai Sheng's house?"
Hong Xiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stroked the corner of his clothes: "Dai Sheng and his family are a respectable family, they won't resort to violence, but some words are more painful when spoken than when hit."
Chen Tang thought about her words carefully. Most families in this era could not escape the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls.
Hong Xiu remarried and only brought a daughter with her. It is easy to imagine that the Dai family would definitely leave their grandson at home.
After Dai Sheng's death, she might not have been willing to remarry, but due to rumors and the Dai family's unwillingness to let her stay in the village, as well as her cowardly personality, she finally listened to her parents' advice and remarried.
If it was He Xu, or any other comrade of Dai Sheng who came this time, seeing that Hong Xiu was unwilling to divorce, it would probably be left at that. At most, they would buy some things, or ask the local government and the Women's Federation to keep an eye on her.
But Chen Tang felt that beating Hong Xiu to the point of miscarriage was no longer simple domestic violence, and Bai Laizi would never change.
What Hong Xiu hoped for was nothing more than to get pregnant. As long as it was a boy, she would naturally have a say in the Bai family and live a good life.
But in this case, what should Dai Yun do?
This girl has been gathering up her courage for so long, and has such high expectations, hoping that they can help them. If Hong Xiu just accepts her fate like this, how disappointed will Dai Yun be?
If Hong Xiu gives birth to another child in the future, will she still give all her love to Dai Yun?
Chen Tang held her hand and said softly, "Sister-in-law, we are both girls. I understand your feelings best. You are afraid that Dai Yun will be criticized by others after the divorce. Without a father to support her, she will be bullied when she gets married in the future. You are also afraid that you won't be able to raise your children after the divorce, right?"
Tears welled up in Hong Xiu's eyes. She also wanted to live an ordinary life, but half of her life had been like this. She could only hope that Bai Laizi could mend his ways and treat her well. How could she have the courage to choose divorce and face a new and unknown life?
Shen Tang continued: “Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about your other son?”
Hong Xiu raised her moist eyes: "What happened to Yaoyao?"
She hadn't been back for several years, thinking that Dai Yao was, after all, a child of the Dai family and received most of the pension, so he would definitely live a better life than herself.
Chen Tang sighed, "Dai Yao is almost six years old this year, don't you know how much a child will miss his mother when he loses his father? I have a son just like you. Before he left, he pulled me to go back quickly, saying that he would miss me if he couldn't see me."
"Sister-in-law, no matter how well the Dai family treats Yaoyao, he will still miss his mother in his heart. His grandparents have more than one grandson. Even if they love him, when he sees his two cousins and their families having fun, he will feel lonely and ask where his mother is. Sister-in-law, can you bear not to visit him?"
Hong Xiu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
She shouted her son's name and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Dai Yun walked forward with a look of disappointment, hugged his mother and said, "Mom, you should divorce me. Even if grandpa and grandma don't want you to go back, we can survive with our own hands. My brother must be waiting for us to go back and pick him up."
“But, but…”
Hong Xiu was hesitant, and Chen Tang hurriedly said, "No buts, as long as you want a divorce and are determined to get a divorce, we will definitely help you. You don't have to worry about not being able to survive in the future after you get divorced. I have many friends who are like you, who are also divorced and live with their children. They can still live happily and easily. You have to believe that we will definitely help you in the future."
"When you live a good life in the future, you can visit your son in style without having to worry about other people's faces."
"Your life will be a thousand times better than it is now!"
With tears in her eyes, Hong Xiu hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily: "Okay, I am willing to divorce."
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Xiu definitely did not love Bai Laizi, but due to the pressure of reality, she had to remarry. She had nowhere to go and was afraid of the future, so she could only pin her hopes on others.
Unless one has a hole in his brain, no one will continue on the same path when a better option appears.
Su Xiaoxiao and Shen Tang went to wash the dishes. As they walked through the corridor, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You are the best. If I were to do this, I would definitely be disappointed."
Chen Tang shook his head: "This is just the beginning. Sister Hong Xiu was just heartbroken because of this incident and was afraid of being beaten again. In addition, I kept telling her about her son, so she was persuaded.
Although Bai Laizi is in jail, Bai's mother will definitely come to make trouble. When the time comes, Bai's mother will kneel down in front of her and promise not to beat her again, and also promise her many benefits. It is hard to say whether Comrade Hong Xiu will insist on divorce. "
When Su Xiaoxiao thought of that scene, she felt overwhelmed and her patience was almost worn out.
"Have you figured out how to deal with them?"
They don't have much time to spend here.
Chen Tang curled his lips, beckoned her to come closer, and then whispered a few words in her ear.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly and she nodded vigorously at her.
She is worthy of being praised by the teacher. If she had been so smart, she would not have been so murdered in her previous life.
Before the next day, Bai's mother, the village chief, the team leader and three young men came to the hospital on a ox cart when Bai Laizi was arrested.
Chen Tang took advantage of their arrival to give Hong Xiu some instructions, telling her not to answer anything she heard later.
Bai's mother and her group found out Hong Xiu's ward and broke in.
Even though the village chief had been telling her to control her temper and he would persuade her later, as soon as Bai's mother entered the ward and saw the fruit malt milk on Hong Xiu's table, she got so angry that she started cursing.
"Well, you bitch, my son is in jail, and you are still here enjoying yourself. It's just a few beatings, but you called the police to arrest my son. I'm going to beat you to death, you bitch!"
Chen Tang called out, “Xiaoxiao, throw her out of the ward.”
Su Xiaoxiao was small but had great strength. She grabbed Bai's mother by the back of the neck and was about to throw her out. The village chief was so scared that he shouted, "That's enough, Third Cousin, stop yelling. This is a hospital, not your pigsty."
Bai's mother wanted to throw a tantrum, but the village chief gave her several looks and she finally calmed down.
"If she doesn't want to make a fuss, then don't make a fuss, but she has to let my son out. My son has been locked up for several hours. He has never suffered this kind of hardship before."
Hong Xiu didn't know that Bai Laizi was in jail. She wanted to ask something, but Chen Tang gave her a look. Remembering the previous instructions, she had to lie on the bed and pretend that she didn't hear anything.
