The past is really hard to recall!
Chi Lanlan turned around and saw that Song Lingshu had turned around, and it seemed that her back was bent a little more.
She frowned. Did something unhappy happen to her grandma? It seemed like she hadn't mentioned anything about her just now!
Zhou Zhiyan also carefully observed the old lady's expression. He immediately rushed over and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Is there something that makes you unhappy?"
Song Lingshu's mood was suddenly brought back to reality. She looked down at the little guy, raised the corner of her mouth and said, "No, Grandma, I was just thinking about how to better teach you and Mom what I learned."
Zhou Zhiyan is a warm-hearted boy who understands people's needs and says, "Then my mom and I will study harder so that grandma doesn't have to rack her brains to figure out how to teach us better. We can learn by ourselves."
"That's great." The old lady said with a smile.
Seeing that Chi Lanlan's mood had returned to normal, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Zhiyan coaxed the old lady back to her room, then ran to Chi Lanlan and whispered, "Mom, let me tell you, I just saw a lot of people surrounding my sister's family on my way home from school."
"Which sister?"
"It's Daya and Sanya."
"So how much fun have you seen?" Chi Lanlan asked!
Zhou Zhiyan shook his head and said like a grown-up, "I didn't stay to watch the fun. I left because I knew this kind of fun wasn't suitable for a kid like me."
Chi Lanlan nodded and educated Zhou Zhiyan: "Yes, this kind of excitement is indeed not suitable for children. If we encounter a lively scene on the road, we should try not to watch, because we may accidentally hurt ourselves."
Zhou Zhiyan nodded and said, "But I'm really curious. I really want to help my sisters Daya and Sanya. Mom, can you go and help them?"
Chi Lanlan looked at the little one who was only interested in helping others, nodded, and said, "Of course Mom forgives you, but the help others can provide is limited. For example, when you go to school, Mom can help you deal with some learning difficulties. If you don't understand a word, you can only ask Mom, but Mom can't help you go to school, right? Principles require you to grow and experience them on your own!"
"So it's not that mom is unwilling to help them, but mom's help to them, just like her help to you, can only provide guidance and assistance, but can't do it for them."
Zhou Zhiyan understood and nodded: "So that's how it is."
He also thought that if his mother didn't want to go out, she wasn't helping.
Chi Lanlan nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Zhou Zhiyan said obediently: "Okay, I understand. I'll go do my homework."
Watching the little guy pull the chair, Chi Lanlan turned and went to the kitchen.
The Women's Federation leaders from the city contacted the neighbors near Zou Jiaping's home to learn about the situation before going to the local Women's Federation to find out more. The results revealed two extremes: one was extremely tragic, and the other was extremely deserving.
The local women's director insisted that Lin Huixiang was unfaithful to her husband and that was why she was beaten by him. They also tried to dissuade him in many ways, trying to reconcile him rather than divorce him, so they did not approve the divorce.
Lin Xiangcao rushed up with her two children and started crying. The matter caused a lot of uproar. It was not until the afternoon that the truth came out. Zou Jiaping's cousin-in-law was the deputy director of the Women's Federation and had been helping Zou Jiaping cover up the facts.
After the incident was exposed, the city's Women's Federation asked the local Women's Federation to assist Lin Huixiang and Zou Jiaping in divorcing, and pointed out that Zou Jiaping had a tendency to domestic violence and that the three children were still young and had to be taken care of by their mother.
Zou Jiaping's family objected. They did not want to end up with nothing. They had already agreed to sell the three children and then force Lin Huixiang to compensate for the original betrothal gift.
Now that the city’s Women’s Federation has come, they have nothing left. The three children were awarded to Lin Huixiang, but the Zou family refuses to agree!
In addition, a relative of the Zou family was forced to resign for abusing his power and misleading the facts, and Old Mrs. Zou was blamed, making her even more unwilling to let Lin Huixiang go.
When the comrades from the Municipal Women's Federation were still there, Zou Jiaping's family did not dare to take action. As soon as they left, Zou Jiaping's entire family punched and kicked Lin Huixiang. Lin Huixiang even called for people nearby to come and help, but no one dared to help!
Lin Xiangcao and his wife went over to help, and asked Daya to run over and shout for help.
Daya ran and cried to Chi Lanlan's door, banging on it desperately: "Auntie, Auntie, help me."
Zhou Zhiyan was like a little cannonball. He didn't even eat his meal. He put down his chopsticks and rushed out.
When he opened the door and saw Daya crying outside, he asked, "Sister Daya, why are you crying?"
"Dad beat Mom, and Grandma and the others beat Mom too. Mom was beaten badly, so my aunt asked me to come and ask my aunt for help."
Song Lingshu frowned.
Chi Lanlan asked, "Daya, what's going on? Didn't the city leaders come today to ask about your mother's situation?"
"Some people did come, but grandma and dad were like crazy. As soon as they left, they started beating mom. Now it's no use calling the neighbors to help. Dad said he would beat mom to death."
Chi Lanlan's eyes flashed with a cold light. She turned around and said to Zhou Zhiyan, "Xiaoyan, you stay home with your sister Daya. I'll go check on her."
Daya cried and said, "I don't want to be here. I want to go see my mother. Dad wants to beat her to death."
Chi Lanlan looked at Song Lingshu and said, "Grandma, please take care of the two children."
Since it was a beating, the situation there must have been chaotic. Those chaotic scenes are not good for the child's growth at all.
Song Lingshu nodded and said, "Go ahead."
She called out, "Daya, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come here, let grandma serve you some food."
