The yard was in a mess, with the food on the table in disarray. Old Mrs. Tian was lying on the ground wailing, Tian Congbao and Yao Cuilian were hugging each other. Yao Cuilian's hair was disheveled and her exposed skin was covered with scars. Tian Congbao was also hit by several sticks, with bruises on his cheeks and arms, but he didn't cry. He looked at Tian Guodong with resentment in his eyes.
Gu Xi saw that Yao Cuilian's clothes were also torn: "Wangdi, take your mother into the house to change clothes, check her body, if there are any external injuries, wipe them with clean water and then disinfect them with iodine, and ignore the bruises for now."
Tian Wangdi immediately went over and pulled her mother up: "Come with me into the house and take a look."
Tian Congbao maintained the posture of protecting his mother and did not let go. The little guy stubbornly stood there, and even Tian Wangdi could not pull him away.
Gu Xi walked over and patted him: "Congbao, I'm Gu Zhiqing, let go, your mother is safe now, let her go and take care of her injuries, come with me."
When Congbao heard Gu Xi's voice, his extremely tense nerves finally relaxed, and he cried out in fear: "Gu Zhiqing, my father beat my mother, I hate him so much."
Gu Xi pulled him up and took him into the house to check his injuries, but Wang Xu stopped her: "I'll take him there. You're a woman, you can't just look around."
Gu Xi...
Tian Guodong calmed down, scratched his head, helped Old Lady Tian up, and gave Gu Xi a hypocritical smile: "Gu Zhiqing, are you dating Wang Xu okay now?"
Gu Xi looked at him coldly without answering. She walked to the door and saw an aunt passing by: "Aunt, please help me call the village head and the secretary and tell them that there is domestic violence."
Auntie peeked into the yard and said, "Did Tian Guodong beat Yao Cuilian? I don't know what happened recently. Yao Cuilian is often injured. You must take good care of her."
Gu Xi stood at the door, folded her arms and lowered her head, looking at her toes. Yao Cuilian had a special identity, and as a woman, she should be helped, but as Wang Xu's family, knowing the harm she had brought to Wang Xu, they thought it would be better to avoid suspicion.
But I still feel depressed, as if I am a silent accomplice.
After checking the injuries quickly, several people came out of the room, and Gu Xi also walked in: "How is the injury? If it's serious, we need to go to the hospital."
When Yao Cuilian heard about the hospital, she quickly shook her head and said, "It's not that serious. Don't go to the hospital. It's too expensive."
Gu Xi did not insist any more. Soon, Xu Zhengrong, Wu Yao and Chang Ru all came over. Wu Yao saw Yao Cuilian's injuries and became angry: "Tian Guodong, you actually hit your woman. You are really capable. What's going on?"
Tian Guodong didn't say anything, and Yao Cuilian just shed tears silently. Finally, Tian Wangdi narrated what happened and stopped the family's gossip behind their backs. Wang Xu sneered, and Gu Xi also felt extremely disgusted.
"Uncle Xu, you guys handle this matter. My identity is sensitive, so I won't get involved. I'm going back first."
Wang Xu could see Gu Xi's dilemma, but seeing that she finally decided to avoid suspicion, he felt warm and a little distressed. There was someone who cared about his feelings wholeheartedly, and there was no need for too much talk and argument. The other person understood all his intentions and supported him unconditionally.
When he got home, he became even more clingy, resting his head on Gu Xi's shoulder and hugging her: "Wife, you are so nice, thank you."
Gu Xi felt that his clingy appearance was unbearable: "Let's eat, it's cold, go heat it up."
Wang Xu immediately started working diligently. Chang Ru came over with Tian Wangdi and Tian Congbao and said, "The two children haven't eaten yet. People next door are still dealing with things. Let's take care of the children at your house first.
No matter how wrong they are, they are all the adults' fault. The children are innocent. Gu Xi, please persuade Wang Xu. "
Gu Xi felt that the last sentence was unfair to Wang Xu, so she didn't beat around the bush and said, "Sister Chang, there's no need to persuade him. Wang Xu has no hostility towards the two children, so he's just leaving them here. He's just afraid that Yao Cuilian and Tian Guodong might have ideas, so he's just trying to avoid suspicion. Besides, I won't persuade him. I respect Wang Xu's wishes at any time. We have basically the same ideas, and I won't force him to do anything, just like he won't ask me to do anything."
Chang Ru also knew that she had said the wrong thing: "Sister Chang is not good at speaking, I just want you to take care of it. We are all thinking about the mediation issue, and it is not convenient for the child to be here."
Gu Xi asked the two children to sit down: "Sister Chang, go and do your work, put the children down. This is not their first time here, they are more familiar with it than you. You two go wash your hands and go to the kitchen to get the food. Wang Xu is in the kitchen."
Chang Ru felt relieved upon seeing this, and went next door to participate in the mediation. The more she mediated, the more she felt that Tian Guodong was disgusting.
At the beginning, he found Wang Xu's mother and lived a good life. However, she didn't take care of him because of her poor health. He went out to have an affair and brought the woman back.
Now that Wang Xu is capable, she regrets it again. She thinks Yao Cuilian has delayed her from having a good life. Wang Xu has grown up and doesn't need to support himself. His mother must have left him a lot of good things, otherwise Gu Xi would not have married him under such conditions. Now she has to work to support the family, which makes her feel unbalanced.
This is not just domestic violence, it's a huge character problem and extremely irresponsible.
Wu Yao was so angry that he wanted to hit her: "So many years have passed, you were so unkind and unjust to your ex-wife, and now you have to let Yao Cuilian down. One slap didn't make a sound back then, I think the biggest responsibility lies with you.
Tian Guodong, let me tell you, if you are a man, you should be nicer to your wife and children. If you want everything but don't want to pay for anything, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. "
Xu Zhengrong also got angry when he saw Tian Guodong: "I don't even bother to say anything to you. Yao Cuilian has chosen to forgive you and will not separate from you. Just live your life normally and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. If you continue to make trouble like this, you can't stay in the village."
Chang Ru looked at Yao Cuilian and shook her head. She really understood what Gu Xi had said before: There must be something hateful about pitiful people. The complicated problems that have arisen over the years cannot be solved in a few words.
"You should take good care of your injuries these days. If you have any problems, come to the neighborhood committee and tell us. We will help you."
The three of them left after they finished talking. Tian Guodong looked impatient, while Yao Cuilian looked numb. Old Lady Tian saw that everyone had left and said, "Nao Nao Nao, look at what this is all about. This little girl Tian Wangdi is so mean that she even ran out to complain. It's just a matter of beating someone twice. Go and cook some more. I'm hungry."
Yao Cuilian smiled strangely, then quickly regained her composure: "My hand is injured and I can't lift it up. I can't cook. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Seeing her acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, the mother and son were extremely angry. However, Xu Zhengrong and his companions had just left, so they could not get angry any more. They could only continue eating the leftover food on the table.
Old Mrs. Tian ate cold rice and cold dishes: "Let Wangdi cook from now on. Don't make trouble anymore. Don't think about it inappropriately. Wang Xu is very cold-hearted. He is a wolf cub. Even though he is good to Gu Xi, you never know what bad things he might have in mind. Once we get married, we will definitely fight every day. Don't expect him to treat you well."
After hearing this, Tian Guodong thought about it and realized that it was true. He was beaten up by Wang Xu a few months ago, so he didn't dare to offend him. He was a complete idiot.
