"Mom, it hurts..."
The little girl stretched out her hand and rolled up her sleeves. Her thin arms were covered with purple pinch marks.
"My grandma pinched me."
Qiqi complained in a low voice that her grandma liked to pinch her and kick her, which was really painful, and she was not allowed to eat because she was so hungry.
Zhou Shuzhen's tears instantly flowed down, her heart was broken. It was all her fault for being so useless that she couldn't even protect her daughter.
"Do you still want to live with your husband?" Jiang Hanyan frowned.
If Zhou Shuzhen was a hopeless case, she would only save Qiqi.
"No, I want a divorce, but I have no job and no money. My mother-in-law also asked me to return the 5,000 yuan betrothal gift. I am working a part-time job and want to save some money before getting a divorce," Zhou Shuzhen explained.
She went out to work every afternoon and could earn about 20 yuan, but it was too difficult to save money. Her husband only gave her 200 yuan a month for household expenses, and said that a girl didn't need to eat too well. She could only wear old clothes given by relatives.
Those old clothes were so torn that they were beyond recognition. She also didn't want to make her daughter suffer, so she spent most of her earnings on her daughter. Up to now, she had only saved less than 1,000 yuan.
"At the rate you're saving money, you'll never be able to get divorced, and besides, didn't your mother-in-law ask you to have a son?" Jiang Hanyan thought of a question and her heart sank.
The old woman doesn't treat her granddaughter as a human being at all, and yet she is obsessed with having a grandson. I'm afraid she will do something unscrupulous.
Zhou Shuzhen's expression changed, and she nodded solemnly, "My mother-in-law has mentioned several times that we should give Qiqi away."
"What does your husband think?"
"He kept silent."
Zhou Shuzhen bit her lips tightly, her mouth full of the taste of blood. Her silence meant her consent. It was because of her husband's attitude that she was completely heartbroken and planned to divorce him.
Jiang Hanyan understood as soon as she heard it. Zhou Shuzhen was isolated and helpless at home, and had no one to rely on in her natal family. Her daughter was her only relative, so she chose to die after Qiqi got into trouble.
"Let me remind you of one thing. Your mother-in-law has a vicious face and evil intentions. I'm afraid she will do harm to your daughter. Don't go out tomorrow and stay with the child 24 hours a day." Jiang Hanyan instructed solemnly.
Zhou Shuzhen was frightened and didn't react. She asked blankly, "What is my mother-in-law going to do to Qiqi? She is my grandmother!"
"Anyway, you stay with the kids tomorrow. This is my phone number. Call me if you need any help."
Jiang Hanyan left her phone number. As long as Qiqi escapes the bloody disaster tomorrow, Zhou Shuzhen will be fine too.
She was also very curious about how the vicious old woman would deal with her young granddaughter.
Zhou Shuzhen was still in shock until Jiang Hanyan walked away. For some reason, she felt that Jiang Hanyan was not lying. Could it be that her mother-in-law was really going to take action against Qiqi?
A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhou Shuzhen shivered and came to her senses. She hugged her daughter tightly, and her expression became firm. She would never let anyone hurt her daughter.
The next afternoon, during class, Jiang Hanyan's pager rang. She stood up suddenly and shouted to the stunned teacher on the stage: "Teacher, human life is at stake. I have to go save them!"
"What's going on?" The teacher didn't respond.
"My cousin is going to jump off the building!"
Jiang Hanyan lied, but the teacher believed it and asked her to go back and save people.
Sheng Baojun and Tian Xinxin exchanged glances, and both stood up, shouting, "Teacher, there is strength in numbers. Jiang can't stop him alone. Let's go and help."
"Yes, yes, yes, if more people go, don't do stupid things, life will be so good!"
The teacher was very easy to talk to and wanted to call a few male students over, but Jiang Hanyan refused. She only brought Sheng Baojun and Tian Xinxin. And Bi Shengnan was the one she specifically asked. Bi Shengnan's sharp tongue would come in handy against the vicious old woman.
The call on the pager was from Zhou Shuzhen, who said she was at a park near the community and wanted Jiang Hanyan to call a few people over to help because she was busy right now.
"What happened? Which cousin of yours wants to jump off the building?"
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, Tian Xinxin started asking.
"It's not my cousin, but it's a matter of life and death. Let's talk while we walk."
Jiang Hanyan talked about Zhou Shuzhen's situation while running. The medical school was not far from the park and it took about a quarter of an hour to run there.
"That's my granddaughter. That old woman is not even a human being. She's worse than a beast!" Tian Xinxin was so angry that she wanted to die. Why are there people who favor boys over girls everywhere?
"Could it be that the old woman has done something to her granddaughter? Let's run faster."
Sheng Baojun was worried about Qiqi's safety, so he ran in front. She was an athlete and had the best physical fitness among the group, so she soon left the others far behind.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I'll go over and take a look first."
Sheng Baojun ran away lightly, and Jiang Hanyan and the others chased him desperately. When they ran to the park, they heard the old woman's scolding from a distance.
"My family's affairs have nothing to do with you, a vixen. The dead girl fell into the water by accident. Nothing happened. What's the point of making a fuss? Go home and die!"
"Was it carelessness or did you deliberately murder your granddaughter? We have to wait for the police to come to make a verdict. I think you have a strong motive to kill. Your granddaughter was frozen like this, and you stopped your daughter-in-law from going to the hospital. Did you deliberately want to freeze the child to death?"
It was Sheng Baojun who said that the park was not very big, and there were many people gathered by the lake, so they would be found soon. Jiang Hanyan and the others squeezed through the crowd and saw Zhou Shuzhen soaked all over, hugging her daughter who was also soaked tightly. However, the old woman held her tightly and would not let her leave.
There were some enthusiastic onlookers who spoke up for Zhou Shuzhen, but the old woman started cursing at everyone she met. She accused the men of having an affair with Zhou Shuzhen and called the women bitches. The obscene language was so unbearable that the enthusiastic onlookers didn't dare to intervene.
It is now the coldest time of the year, and the mother and daughter are almost frozen to death. Qiqi's face is pale and something will happen if she is not sent to the hospital. The old woman is very strong and she pulls hard with both hands, and Zhou Shuzhen cannot break free.
She also asked enthusiastic people to help her make that call. Although she had only met Jiang Hanyan once, she had a hunch that Jiang Hanyan could help her.
Seeing Jiang Hanyan, Zhou Shuzhen's eyes lit up and she pleaded in a trembling voice: "Miss Jiang, please help me... I will send Qiqi to the hospital, and then help me call the police."
She was so cold that she couldn't speak. She tried to hand her daughter over with her stiff hands. The evil old woman had a ferocious face and yelled at Jiang Hanyan: "It's you again, you slut. My family's affairs are none of your business. Just try to intervene!"
Jiang Hanyan sneered, quickly formed seals with his hands, and released a stream of pure yang energy. Zhou Shuzhen and her daughter only felt a warm current rushing into their bodies, and their whole bodies were warm.
"I'm determined to take care of it. Xinxin, call the police and say that someone is maliciously injuring people and wants to delay the rescue time." Jiang Hanyan said coldly.
"good!"
Tian Xinxin ran away. The old woman wanted to chase her, but she was afraid that Zhou Shuzhen would run away. This opportunity finally came to her. If she delayed it for another hour or so, the dead girl would surely freeze to death, and then she would be able to give birth to a son with a legitimate reason.
Jiang Hanyan snatched the little girl away, her little body was colder than ice. She glanced coldly at the old woman, stuffed the little girl to Sheng Baojun, and cast a spell to attract evil at the old woman, to make this vicious old woman feel a chill in her heart.
To be continued tomorrow
