There are two paths before Zong Xianggui: either wait for Zhu Baoguo to come back, and then kill him during his investigation, or be kicked out by him; or run away now.
However, Zong Xianggui became a little worried when he thought about the long period of time spent hiding in Tibet after killing his ex-wife and her whole family, and being inferior to pigs and dogs. So, he chose a safer way: running away.
Since you are running away, you must take all your personal belongings with you.
There is no doubt that in Zong Xianggui's eyes, Hu Yuemei is also one of his personal belongings.
At that time, he declared that he had the sacred and inviolable permanent ownership of his ex-wife by killing him. Now, he wanted to elope to declare that he also had the sacred and inviolable permanent ownership of Zhu Baoguo's wife Hu Yuemei.
So, without any thought, Zong Xianggui asked Hu Yuemei to quickly pack her things and run away with him. His words and demeanor completely regarded this as a matter of course.
Hu Yuemei, who often suffered domestic violence, could not stand Zhu Baoguo's bad habits for a long time. She fantasized about leaving her husband and starting a new life more than once. Furthermore, He Zong Xianggui's broken shoes had been discovered by his neighbors. Even if he stayed shamelessly, he would most likely be beaten to death by his husband.
After hesitating for a moment, Hu Yuemei quickly packed her things and ran away with Zong Xianggui.
She originally wanted to take away her 10-year-old son Zhu Dawei, but Zhu Baoguo would definitely pursue him. Besides, running away with Zong Xianggui would inevitably lead to him having to sleep in the open air. Taking Zhu Dawei with him would only make him suffer, so it would be better to leave him alone. He stayed at home, had good food and drink, and could take care of his daughter. So Hu Yuemei gave up the idea.
At this time, more than three years had passed since Zu Baoshan killed his ex-wife and his family. The pursuit of Zu Baoshan was no longer as tight as it was at that time, which provided conditions for Zu Baoshan to escape again.
Originally, she thought that after jumping out of the fire pit, a happy world for two would be waiting for her in front of her. Hu Yuemei slowly discovered that what was standing in front of her was actually a volcano, but she had already jumped into the crater full of magma. There is no turning back.
At first, the two moved around many places, without a fixed residence, and their living conditions were very poor. The sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed. It is normal to eat and sleep in the open air. It is normal to eat one meal but not the next.
In the end, the two went through many hardships and came to live somewhere along the coast.
Because they had no money, Zong Xianggui and Hu Yuemei slept under bridges, or sneaked into construction sites and slept in unfinished buildings.
In order to make ends meet, Hu Yuemei went to the station to shine shoes for others, while Zong Xianggui worked as a laborer, working for a day and earning a day's wages.
These difficult days continued for several years.
Their stories warn us that if we want to live a happy life without shame or impatience after elopement, we must carry a huge sum of money. In all the elopement stories of talented men and beautiful women, there is often a very important detail before departure: packing some gold and silver items.
What's more, these two people are not talented and beautiful. The most terrible thing is that there is a murderer and fugitive among them, but Hu Yuemei has never known this.
Until the late 1990s, the two of them saved some money, rented a single room, and claimed to be a couple. Zong Xianggui bought a tricycle and rode around picking up bricks to sell. Hu Yuemei's shoe shine business was getting better and better. People's lives have improved.
Full and warm, thinking and drinking. After the pressure of life eased, all kinds of bad habits that Zong Xianggui had suppressed in his heart for a long time began to slowly come to light.
After so many years, the pursuit of Zu Baoshan seemed to have become uninterested, which made him almost forget his identity as a murderer and fugitive, and even really regarded himself as the fictitious "Zong Xianggui", and slowly began to No more caution.
A life of food, drink and housing freed Zong Xianggui from having to waste his mind and energy on such trivial matters, and instead gave him ideas and behaviors to pursue higher spiritual enjoyment.
What is spiritual enjoyment? Of course, it is to make yourself happy physically and mentally. The best way to be happy physically and mentally is to let yourself go and release your inner desires.
Therefore, you have to eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine at every meal. This is the standard of a happy life. After drinking and eating, you can play mahjong, poker, etc.
Cards are essential. What he earned in one day was not as much as he spent, but it didn't matter, he could ask Hu Yuemei for money. Hu Yuemei's people belong to him, and the money he earns also belongs to him.
What drove Hu Yuemei the most was that Zong Xianggui's habit of domestic violence was gradually exposed. In the beginning, it was because of this problem that Zong Xianggui's ex-wife divorced him. Now that the scar has healed and he has forgotten the pain, he has begun to release his desires and continue to satisfy his violent hobby of beating women on Hu Yuemei.
The weak woman was like a helpless chicken under his fist, with her trembling body, frightened eyes, and panicked screams. This kind of combination of movement and stillness always has a special beauty that always makes people feel sad. He is full of pleasure and has a sense of accomplishment of conquering everything. Whenever such a moment comes, he always feels like a successful person, not a loser.
For Hu Yuemei, it was because she couldn't stand Zhu Baoguo's domestic violence that she followed this man away. As a result, her good days hadn't even begun yet, and she got even worse domestic violence and abuse, which made her extremely desperate. Nowhere to escape.
At this point, how could she still have the nerve to go back to Zhu Baoguo?
She also thought about escaping to other places, but Zong Xianggui took control of her life and used it as a threat: "If you dare to run away, I will go to Zhu Bao's country and kill both of your children. I only have one life to live, and there is nothing I can’t do. If you don’t believe me, just give it a try.”
The timid and cowardly Hu Yuemei would not dare to "try" the lives of her two children.
Therefore, the idea of escape can only float in the mind for a while, and then quickly extinguished.
This kind of dark life lasted for 10 years, until 2009, when Hu Yuemei was shining shoes, she met a fellow villager from the same village as Zhu Baoguo. Some news she got from the fellow villager made her feel sad and happy, and even gave her an idea. A way seems to be able to escape the tragic fate in front of him.
The fellow villager told Hu Yuemei that since she ran away from home, the lives of her two children have become a mess. This is completely contrary to her original intention of not taking the children away, thinking that the children would be able to live a better life by staying at home.
After Hu Yuemei ran away, her husband Zhu Baoguo almost collapsed. He traveled all over the country looking for his wife and could not take care of his children at all.
Zhu Baoguo has all the bad habits, but he does not have no feelings for Hu Yuemei. He just has not found the right way to get along with and love his wife, let alone the way to behave as a husband and father. In other words, he is most likely just a "giant baby".
The father is not at home, so the two children, who are about ten years old, can only rely on themselves and learn to cook by themselves.
Occasionally, kind-hearted neighbors would see the children and call them to their homes for dinner.
When the weather is cold, the two siblings can only wear old clothes given by neighbors to survive the cold winter. During winter and summer vacations, they will go out to look for their mother.
Several years passed, and there was still no news from Hu Yuemei. The conditions at home are very average. Looking for someone will not only miss work, but also cost money. Gradually, Zhu Baoguo could not afford such a financial burden. The two siblings dropped out of junior high school before finishing junior high school. The search for Hu Yuemei was also terminated, and the family of three had to return to the life they had before them.
Among the two siblings, the elder sister has been married a long time ago. The younger brother Zhu Dawei followed the adults to work in his early years. He also got married last year. Now the young couple are both working.
Sadly, my running away from home caused my husband and two children to suffer so much.
Fortunately, both children are married, and her son Zhu Dawei is still living in the same city as her.
Thinking that her son was by her side, Hu Yuemei suddenly felt enriched, and for a moment she felt that Zong Xianggui was not that scary after all. Parents are the pillars of support for their children, but children are not the pillars of support for their parents.
So Hu Yuemei decided to meet her son Zhu Dawei and even wanted to live with him. This is not only a mother's natural instinct towards her son, but also her attempt to get rid of the domestic violence suffered by Zong Xianggui: In front of my son, you don't dare to hit me again, do you?
At this time, Hu Yuemei's first thought was not to rely on her son to leave Zong Xianggui, but to use her son as a "backer" to scare Zong Xianggui's violent behavior. Perennial sufferer
Violence seems to have turned her into "habitual masochism", that is: I can't stand you, but I can't live without you.
Finally, through the phone number left by the fellow villager, Hu Yuemei contacted the two children and invited them to spend the Dragon Boat Festival at her and Zong Xianggui's "home".
The two siblings cried with joy. They all knew all about the shitty things that happened between their parents and between their mother and Zong Xianggui, but compared with this reunion of close relatives that had been missing for more than ten years, those shitty things were nothing. What.
So, without telling their father Zhu Baoguo, the two siblings happily came to Hu Yuemei with their small families and spent a very successful Dragon Boat Festival with her.
After the festival, my sister and her family returned to their hometown.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law had just finished confinement, Hu Yuemei offered to live with her son and daughter-in-law to help them take care of the children. Zhu Dawei and his wife could only ask for it, especially Zhu Dawei. His mother's proposal could completely fill the missing part in his heart.
Zong Xianggui glanced at Zhu Dawei's daughter-in-law and strongly supported Hu Yuemei's proposal.
So, Zhu Dawei simply rented another house in the community rented by Zong Xianggui and Hu Yuemei, moved in, and changed his working place nearby.
Zong Xianggui probably felt that he should be regarded as Zhu Dawei's stepfather, so he always acted like an elder in front of Zhu Dawei, and then gave him various educational outputs and theoretical lectures.
