Gu Zi's injuries had been treated and he was helping to sweep the yard. When he saw Gu Xi coming, he was at a loss, with a look of guilt on his face.
"Gu Zhiqing, are you okay? I didn't know they had the guts to do that. It's all my fault. If I had been more patient, I wouldn't have implicated you."
Gu Xi saw that she was really restless: "I'm fine. I've seen many quarrels and fights over a disagreement, but this is the first time I've seen someone dare to hit me. How are you? Help me block it, you must be seriously injured."
Guzi touched his face and said, "It's okay, it just looks scary, but no vital parts were hurt, the bruises will disappear in two days. As for you, I heard that Wang Xu had surgery, and I'm afraid my mother-in-law will blame you."
Lin Ling brought out the prepared malted milk from the kitchen: "What are you all standing for? Come sit down. Why are you so polite? Drink this, all you can eat."
Wang Xu took the cup and quickly put it on the table. He couldn't help but glance at Lin Ling. It was such a hot cup, but she was fine holding it. She really had thick skin and rough flesh, even rougher than himself. What kind of vision did Ye Xinchen have?
Gu Xi pulled Wang Xu to sit down. The tall and strong man standing there felt oppressive and uncomfortable.
"Wang Xu is here, they shouldn't dare to cause trouble."
Wang Xu grabbed Gu Xi's fingers and played with them. They were soft, boneless, white and tender. It was obvious that he didn't take Old Lady Liang and the others seriously at all.
Lin Ling secretly glanced at Wang Xu: "Boss Xu was really angry today. It's ok to beat someone half to death, but he also cut off two of Old Lady Liang's fingers, and frightened her to death. I guess not only will they not dare to cause trouble, but they will even run away if they see them."
Gu Xi and Gu Zi opened their mouths in shock. Because they left first, they didn't realize that the situation had developed to the point where fingers had to be cut off.
Gu Xi felt that she had been too careless in her treatment of Wang Xu. She was a ruthless person who would cut off fingers at any time. She trembled in fear. Fortunately, people nowadays have a weak sense of law and did not call the police, otherwise she would have been arrested: "Thank you, Boss Xu, for not killing me."
Wang Xu felt that Gu Xi's eyes had changed when she looked at him. He frowned, but did not speak for the time being. He pinched Gu Xi's hand as a warning and prepared to go back and talk to Gu Xi properly.
Gu Xi looked at Gu Zi again: "What are you going to do next?"
Gu Zi smiled bitterly when talking about this, his eyes full of sadness: "Wen Er and I have been married for fourteen years, and I have never felt so strange and rejected as I do today.
Before, I thought it was not easy for him, as he lost his father when he was young, his mother was partial to him and he was introverted, so I always tolerated him and didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
But gradually, my compromise made them become more aggressive and they even forced my children to compromise. I can't let my children live the same depressed life as me, I must divorce. I just don’t know if the village can arrange a job for me. I can do any job. I am not afraid of hard work. I would rather suffer myself than let my children suffer. "
While thinking, Gu Xi pinched Wang Xu's bony hand. There was a layer of calluses on the palm of her hand. Gu Xi scratched the calluses unconsciously, which made Wang Xu feel itchy.
"Normally, in this situation, I won't comment and let you choose for yourselves, so as not to make me feel awkward.
Today I will let you choose for yourself, but I will add a few points.
Your husband is undoubtedly the oppressed one at home. He is cowardly and does not know how to resist. He looks quite pitiful. But after a deeper understanding, I found that he is also a perpetrator. He can see your grievances and pain, but he chooses to turn a blind eye, or use you to divert attention, and through his family's suppression of you, he wants to show that he is not the one at the lowest level.
He did not choose to protect you and the children, but instead let you swallow your anger and transfer your pain like him. This behavior is really dark and selfish.
The trauma of childhood takes a lifetime to heal. It is obvious that your husband has problems and deviations in his heart. You should think more about your children, and make improvements while there is still room for improvement, so as not to let your children suffer from any trauma. "
Gu Zi fell into memories because of these words, and the past scenes emerged one by one: "Every time my family insulted me, Wen Er would lower his head and watch quietly. It was the same today. Between the lines, it was clear that I didn't agree, but he listened to me. In fact, he was using me as a shield. He also wanted to separate the family, and he didn't want to take care of his mother.
We started arguing and fighting, and he just looked down and watched, as if it had nothing to do with him. But I couldn't understand why, when we had the upper hand in the end, he came over and pushed us. He could have chosen not to help, but why did he hurt us? It was because he pushed us that we were pinned down and beaten.
For so many years, I was so stupid. I thought people were too honest. In fact, I was just an asshole. "
Gu Xi recalled the time when she was pushed, and she was so angry that her teeth itched: "He was afraid that if you won the fight, he would be blamed as an accomplice. He helped push me, and both of us would suffer. He could get rid of the blame. He never thought that you would leave him. He was used to pushing you out to block you. If he won, he would be the beneficiary, and if he lost, he would be the innocent one."
Lin Ling thought of her second brother: "My second brother also encountered this. My mother has a good sister. Her family favors boys over girls. She has a daughter who is the same age as me. She often came to my house to hide when she was bullied. Later, she fell in love with my second brother because he saved her.
But my second brother had his own childhood sweetheart, and this daughter went to sabotage it. She went to her childhood sweetheart and the army leaders to report that my second brother had bullied her and had been misleading and deceiving her step by step. My second brother was cancelled from the promotion exam because of this incident.
What she can't get, she will destroy. Fortunately, medical science is advanced now, and it was found out that the girl was still a virgin. My brother had never had any private contact with her, so the timelines didn't match up at all. My second brother was delayed for a year because of this, and my mother cut off contact with her family.
As a result, I was reported for not working and not going to the countryside. Finally, for the sake of my parents' reputation and position, I went to the countryside. "
Gu Xi sighed: "Every family has its own problems. I was sent to the countryside because Liu Xiuni reported me. It would have been much better for me to just lie at home and rely on my parents."
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows: "Do you feel bad now? Did I treat you unfairly? You seem quite wronged."
Gu Xi pretended to look around: "Where's my knife? I'm going to chop you for taking my words out of context. We were talking about business, and you suddenly interrupted me. When did I ever say I was wronged? I'm happier now, okay? Shut up now."
Gu Zi still felt a little sad when thinking about divorce: "My parents will definitely not let me go back. I can only raise my two children by myself. The children are doing well in school."
Gu Xi had thought about it a long time ago: "After the nursing home is built, if you need cleaning or cooking, you can go. The salary is 15 yuan per month, including food and accommodation."
When Gu Zi heard that food and accommodation were provided, she asked, "Can my two children live together?"
Gu Xi smiled and nodded: "Yes, single-parent families can be specially cared for, but there are also empty houses for rent in the village, two dollars a month, more freedom, you can consider it yourself."
