Chapter 659: Such a vicious man
The snow-white arms are covered with ugly scars.
Some were burns from cigarette butts, some were cracks from being pulled, and some were cuts from being knives. Her arms were covered with dense scars.
The most shocking thing is the mark left by the cut with scissors.
That hurts so much.
Meng Wantang's whole body was cold, and his pupils were shaking: "He...he did it?"
How can this be?
Huo Dongsheng likes Chen Jiaojiao's body so much and is willing to accept her heart, so how could he hurt Chen Jiaojiao like this?
Chen Jiaojiao knew what Meng Wantang was shocked about.
"You saw him beat me before. At that time, I understood everything. I just thought that you had such a good life in your last life, and I also wanted to live a more relaxed life. Besides, it all happened for a reason. So I still had illusions."
Chen Jiaojiao lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Meng Wantang felt that she would cry in the next second. Chen Jiaojiao was braver than she thought. When she raised her head again, she became calm again.
"His two pounds of flesh were wasted, and his personality changed. He not only beat me, but also the children at home." Chen Jiaojiao's finger joints were clenched white. She was beaten and abused by Huo Dongsheng, but she did not shed a tear.
But when she talked about the children, she cried.
Chen Jiaojiao handed over the handkerchief, and Chen Jiaojiao silently took it and wiped her tears: "I was beaten to despair and wanted to escape from the Huo family. The children also knew it and secretly helped me to keep watch. The eldest child also told me, Mom, you should leave, don't stay in this family, you will be beaten to death by him."
"That day, when I got home, Huo Dongsheng was sitting in the house with a gloomy face. He tore up all the books and threw them in my face, beating me like crazy. The children almost got beaten to death in order to protect me. I was furious and fought him with a knife. The third child's leg was broken, the second child fainted, and only the eldest child was left to help. The fourth child ran out crying and called for help. People from the brigade came, tied him up, and sent him to the police station."
"Later, he was sentenced and received his admission letter. When the children knew I was leaving, they didn't say a word. They just looked at me and hid in the house. No one came out."
Meng Wantang sighed: "So you brought all the children here? How do you support them? Children need money for school, food and clothing. Do you know that those children are Huo Dongsheng's biological children?"
"Are Huo Dongsheng's children necessarily bad? The fact that they were able to succeed in their previous lives doesn't mean they were born to be incompetent or destined to fall into the quagmire. If I give them a hand, will they be able to live a happier life and have a less difficult life?"
Chen Jiaojiao is so naive and innocently kind.
"how about you?"
Aren’t you tired and exhausted?
Chen Jiaojiao's eyes, which were filled with vicissitudes of life, were so calm that it made people feel their hearts calm too.
"It's bitter, but my last life was even more bitter."
When Chen Jiaojiao thought about her previous life and the life she had with Meng Wantang, she felt envious and always fantasized that if she was found earlier, would she have followed the same path as Meng Wantang.
Trying it again, she found that it was not.
People are different.
It wasn't that if she returned to the Meng family early and met Huo Dongsheng first, she would be happy. It wasn't that if she knew the future in advance, she would be able to live the life she dreamed of.
"I know that if I study hard, I can change my destiny. It's hard to get into college and raise five children. But it doesn't matter, we can get through it."
Chen Jiaojiao is not afraid of hardship, she is only afraid of suffering and not having a good life.
It’s time for dinner.
Meng Wantang was going to make lunch and asked Chen Jiaojiao to stay here to eat. Chen Jiaojiao said she was leaving no matter what, so Meng Wantang had to say, "Even if you go back now, it will be too late for the children to eat. Besides, Huo Damao should be able to cook for himself, right?"
"I can, but..."
"It's just one noon, it's okay."
Meng Wantang took Chen Jiaojiao to the market: "Is the house you rented nearby?"
"Yes, it's in the big compound over there. There are a lot of people and children, and the landlady is an old widow. She likes children very much. If it weren't for the children, she wouldn't have rented the small house to us."
"Then you can come here to buy vegetables in the future. Many fellow villagers will come here to sell vegetables today. The vegetables are fresh and cheap."
Meng Wantang said, Chen Jiaojiao just remember it.
She looked at Meng Wantang with complicated eyes. She never thought that one day she would get along with Meng Wantang like this.
After returning home, Meng Wantang prepared meals and Chen Jiaojiao helped.
Meng Wantang discovered that Chen Jiaojiao was extremely efficient at her work.
Moreover, it is very clean.
"Mom, come out quickly!"
The child came back from playing outside.
Gou Sheng was shouting in the yard. Meng Wantang put the spatula in his hand on the stove and said, "Help me cook some vegetables. I'll go see what's going on!"
Chen Jiaojiao looked outside and picked up the spatula to cook.
Meng Wantang ran out of the house and saw several children, some holding basins, some carrying buckets, their faces covered with sweat, looking at him with great excitement.
Meng Wantang walked over and took a look. Wow, it was full of clams, scallops, small crabs and big shrimps.
Two words were written on every face: "I want to eat."
What else can Meng Wantang say?
eat!
This thing can't be kept.
Quickly made it for the kids to eat.
She processed the clams, went into the kitchen and took some salt to sprinkle into the basin, and then went to find two hemp ropes. Chen Jiaojiao saw the seafood in the basin and pursed her lips.
They lived not too far from the sea, so it was much more convenient to eat seafood than in other places. But Huo Damao and his friends had never eaten it, and had never even seen shells.
But it doesn’t matter, they can eat whatever they want in the future.
Meng Wantang is good at tying crabs. If you ask, she learned it from an Internet guru. Goudan came in and squatted beside him to take a look.
Meng Wantang felt a little proud: "Isn't it amazing?"
"Ah."
Goudan nodded heavily, then picked up the hemp rope, grabbed a crab, gestured slightly, and then tied the crab very quickly.
Meng Wantang: "???"
Is she dazzled?
She had to learn it several times before she could master it. It took her a long time to become proficient at it. How come this boy could learn it just by looking at it once?
Goudan looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"See if you can tie it well."
Don’t show a shocked expression, let the child know that it is very common to learn something just by watching it once. Don’t let the child become proud.
You have to get used to it.
With Goudan's help, all the crabs were tied up and placed in a large basin in no time.
"Just put it in the pot and steam it later."
Meng Wantang got up and washed her hands, then took the shrimps back to process. Removing the shrimp thread is also a technical job, and there are some tips. Meng Wantang processed two shrimps, and Goudan started again.
It is not so easy to prepare this shrimp thread.
