"Aunt Zhou, Brother Zhou entrusted the child to you, is this how you take care of the child?" Chen Jiao asked coldly.
"No, oops, the child was too naughty. She didn't eat well. She smashed the bowl and spilled the rice. I just want to teach her not to destroy things like this, right?" The woman was still arguing plausibly.
Cheng Xiang walked to the girl, knelt down, and took the child's hand. The little hand was red from the heat. The girl looked at her timidly, and the boy holding her looked even more wary.
Cheng Xiang looked around and saw that there were two tables in the yard. On one table were two bowls of soft rice, a plate of braised pork and a bowl of fish soup.
On another table next to the three children, there was a pile of black vegetables and two bowls of gruel.
Anyone can tell what this is going on, this woman is so damn vicious.
"People say that women's hearts are the most poisonous, and I've learned that today," Cheng Xiang said coldly, glaring at the woman.
"Who are you?" the woman asked fiercely.
"She is Brother Zhou's unmarried wife," Chen Jiao said from the side.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. The thin boy looked at her up and down with a stern expression.
The woman stared even more. This charming woman was actually Zhou Tianlei's wife from the city? Didn't you say he was an ugly lame guy?
"You, how do you..." The woman was a little confused at this time.
"I think Zhou Tianlei doesn't know that you abused his child like this," Cheng Xiang said, looking at the woman.
"How can I be abusive? She broke the bowl, can't I educate her?"
"How much money can Brother Zhou give you to buy more bowls?" Chen Jiao said from the side, "Brother Zhou sent fans of pork, but the children couldn't get fat after eating it. It turned out that it all ended up in your stomachs."
"Don't talk nonsense. The child has a bad stomach these days. The doctor said they should avoid greasy food, so I made them something light." The woman avoids Chen Jiao's gaze.
Cheng Xiang sneered at the little fat man and said, "I think your son is fat and needs to eat more vegetables to wash his intestines. Since he is not suitable for eating greasy food, he should stop eating it."
As he finished speaking, Cheng Xiang lifted the table with one hand, and the food and rice rolled to the floor.
The little fat man looked at the meat that fell to the ground and opened his mouth to cry.
The woman slapped her thighs and shouted: "Oh, you shrew, how dare you treat your mother-in-law like this, you will suffer a thousand cuts."
Cheng Xiang turned around and said: "Mother-in-law? Are you worthy?"
After saying that, he picked up the little girl and pulled up the little boy and said, "Go home."
The little girl looked at the thin little boy in her arms and said timidly: "Uncle"
Cheng Xiang looked back and saw that the boy saw that they were leaving, with a trace of panic on his stern face. It turned out to be Zhou Tianlei's younger brother.
"Let's go home." Cheng Xiang raised his chin at him and motioned for him to come over.
Chen Jiao also came over to help pick up the things and pulled the boy to leave with her.
At this time, the little fat man rushed over and blocked the road: "Don't leave, you give me back my meat"
Cheng Xiang grabbed the little fat man's ears, stared at his almond-shaped eyes, and said viciously: "Do you believe that I slapped you against the wall so that your mother can't even unbutton it?"
The little fat man was so frightened that he started crying.
Cheng Xiang pushed him away and led a group of people out. Behind him came the little fat man's howling and the woman's cursing.
The three children were shocked when they got home. They wondered if they had gone to the wrong door. Is this their dirty and smelly home?
The clean floor, shiny furniture, and the room still exudes a sweet smell.
Cheng Xiang took out a pack of biscuits for them and asked them to cushion their bellies first, then took Chen Jiao aside to talk.
"Didn't Zhou Tianlei know that his stepmother abused her children like this?" Cheng Xiang asked doubtfully. Zhou Tianlei didn't look like a fool.
Chen Jiao whispered: "Brother Zhou is too busy and has no time to take care of the children. Aunt Zhou is also a talkative. On the surface, she is very good to the children, she is obedient, and she is a baby.
Brother Zhou originally planned to hire someone to look after the child, but she insisted on taking over the job, saying that she would treat the child well. Brother Zhou would always give a lot of meat, vegetables, food, and money.
In fact, even if he doesn't take care of the children, Brother Zhou still has to take care of them for the sake of his father. After all, he is his father's widow."
"But can't you see how the children look like?" The three children are dirty and skinny.
"Aunt Zhou only said that the food and drinks were delicious, but the children have bad gastrointestinal problems, so they won't gain weight, and the children didn't say anything. Brother Zhou doesn't like people making trouble, so it's hard for us to say anything."
It seems that outsiders like Chen Jiao must have heard a little bit about Aunt Zhou's character.
This Zhou Tianlei is really a fool and a big injustice.
After sending Chen Jiao away, he returned to the living room and saw the children sitting on the sofa. When he came in, they looked at him timidly. The cookies were still there and unopened.
The children all looked at her slightly cautiously. The little girl hid in her uncle's arms and did not dare to speak.
The book says that Zhou Tianlei's younger brother was named Zhou Tianxing, and he later joined the army. This little boy should be his son Zhou Yang, who would go astray in the future and commit drug robberies.
The little girl Zhou Qing broke up with her father when she grew up and left her hometown.
Looking at the three dirty, sallow-faced, and skinny children in front of him, Cheng Xiang sighed inwardly.
If you grow up in an environment without love, are abused, oppressed and threatened, how can you live in the sunshine?
Cheng wanted to walk over and see that the girl's hands were still red, so he wanted to pull her to rinse them and apply a cold compress.
But the uncle held her tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Qing'er's hand is burned. I'll take her to take care of it, otherwise it will blister and become inflamed," Cheng Xiang explained.
The boy hesitated and let go of the girl.
Cheng Xiang took the little girl to the kitchen and rinsed it with cold water. There was no burn medicine at home, so he had to take out toothpaste and apply it on her first.
Cheng wanted to look at the girl's dirty face and disheveled hair and decided to give her a bath.
He boiled hot water, took out a big basin, and put the girl in. Although the child was a little timid, she was very well-behaved. Her eyes followed the busy Cheng Xiang. Cheng Xiang smiled at her, very gently, and the little girl suddenly felt This woman looks like a fairy.
The moment he took off his child's clothes, Cheng Xiang couldn't help but curse.
The body is small and skinny, and there are faint marks on the back, arms, and legs, which must have been at the hands of that evil woman.
Cheng Xiang's curse frightened the child. The child shrank and looked at her in fear, as if he was worried that he had angered her.
Cheng Xiang suddenly felt sour in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She gently wiped the child.
"Did that grandma hit you?" Cheng Xiang's voice was choked with sobs.
The child nodded and said softly: "It's screwed." Perhaps remembering those scenes, the child's body trembled.
Cheng Xiang gently stroked her back to comfort her: "Why don't you tell daddy?"
"Uncle won't let me," the child whispered.
