Chapter 159: Eight Trigrams in Tongzi Tower (Part 8)

Here Yan Xia told Yu Jiang another gossip about another family: "There is a family on the second floor. Their eldest son works in the government like our old man, and he has come to our house for dinner before. He is a pretty good person.

What a pity!

His wife died in childbirth, leaving him with a daughter who was waiting to be fed.

It is said that because he had a deep relationship with his wife, he had no intention of marrying again after her death. But he is a grown man and has to go to work, and he has no way to take care of a baby.

No, he will take his old mother in the countryside to help him take care of the children!

The first half year was fine. The 10 yuan he gave his mother every month for household expenses was occasionally left over. But what he did aroused his mother's greed.

After his mother gets the money every month, she will send it to her second son in the countryside. She can keep a dollar to support the family because she needs to spend money to eat and drink herself.

As for his daughter, who was only over half a year old, she couldn't eat enough and cried every day.

At first, he believed his mother's explanation and felt that the child was raised to be squeamish.

But one day, when he went home to get something at noon, he discovered that his mother didn't even feed his daughter when he was not at home!

And at first, his daughter still had the same clothes to wear, so he didn't notice anything unusual. It's just that babies grow quickly, and it's winter again, so his clothes are not only short, but also very thin!

The man originally felt very sorry for his only daughter, whom his deceased wife had left for him. How could he bear to see his daughter suffering like this?

He immediately had a quarrel with his mother, and then he found out that all the money he used for household expenses every month was actually sent to the countryside by his mother and went to the hands of his idle brother!

After all, there was still a bit of brotherly love, and the man didn't ask his brother to pay back the money.

Just the 10 yuan given to his mother for household expenses became two yuan, and he personally bought all kinds of things for his daughter. Fortunately, the child was less than one year old at the time and was still in the stage of eating milk powder and rice cereal. It was not necessary for his mother to cook for her daughter, she could do it herself.

Later, when his daughter grew up and was able to eat, he personally went to the cafeteria to take lunch and dinner home, and then ate with his daughter.

I originally thought that this way his mother would be able to restrain herself, but her mother actually let her younger brother and his family move into his house!

Their house, like ours, has two bedrooms and one living room. Since the last incident, he made a small bed for his daughter next to his bed, and her daughter sleeps with him.

His wife lived alone in the second bedroom next door.

As a result, while he was on a business trip, his brother's family of three actually moved into his house and lived in the second bedroom of his house grandly. His mother also moved into his room.

When he came back, he found the gang of scoundrels at home, but what his mother wanted to do was not to let his brother and his family go back. She also said that he was ungrateful and that he didn't care about his brother's life or death when he became rich!

It is said that this matter has been going on for a whole week and even reached the leadership. In the end, the leader made the decision to let his brother and his family go back to the countryside and work hard on their own. But because her daughter was still young, his mother stayed in the end. "

Hearing this, Yu Jiang frowned silently. This man can't tell the difference between good and bad! He actually left his mother at home. Did he think his mother could treat his daughter well?

"So what happens now?"

Yan Xia took a sip of water and continued: "They lived like this for two or three years, almost in the days before I came. On his daughter's birthday, the man specially asked for leave to go home to his daughter. It was my birthday, and I saw his mother sitting in a chair eating melon seeds, while his daughter was cleaning the floor in a cabinet nearby."

"I heard they said that the old lady was very bad to the little girl. Ever since she could walk, she had to be responsible for all the housework in the house. If she didn't do well, she would often be beaten! Wasn't this the man who caught her in the act?

I heard that there was a lot of quarrels and the crying of children at their house that day.

The next day, the man took the child to the hospital for a physical examination. Good guy, you wouldn’t know if you didn’t check. But when you checked, you were shocked to find that the child’s inner thighs were all covered with needle wounds!

Needle holes and bruises appeared so hideously on the body of a three-year-old child!

Because it was a major matter of child abuse, the hospital immediately contacted people from the Women's Federation.

The man originally didn't want to tell his private affairs, but now the Women's Federation has intervened in the matter and investigated it personally.

Only then did others realize that the man and his wife would take action against the children when something was not going well for them at home.

But after what happened before, the man and his mother also knew how much her son valued this money-losing guy, so whenever she felt uncomfortable, she would use an embroidery needle to prick private places like the inner thighs of the child.

At the same time, she also threatened the child, telling the child that she was here to collect debts and was a burden. So she deserves to work and serve herself every day.

If she dared to tell her father about this, her father wouldn't want her or anything. "

In the end, Yan Xia concluded: "It's simply indifferent!"

But Yu Jiang was more concerned about the child's situation: "What happened next? How did the man deal with it?"

"Hmph! He is a conscientious person. When he knew that his mother was abusing his daughter behind his back, he almost didn't directly report to the police and send his mother in!

Although the staff of the Women's Federation were also very angry, it didn't make sense. The son sent his mother to the police station because he was jeopardizing his own future.

If he is affected by this incident, he will not only lose his job, but he will even be labeled as unfilial and shameful!

With the coordination of the Women's Federation, the man finally decided to sever ties with his mother and brother.

Although this will also have an impact on his work, compared to sending his mother to the police, this is already the best solution. "

"You just said this happened a few days ago, so is the old woman still here now? I can't help it anymore, I want to give him a big cock fight now!"

Yu Jiang said as he picked up the apple on the plate. With a click, Yu Jiang broke the apple into two pieces with his bare hands. Yu Jiang also handed half of it to Yan Xia, who was already stunned.

"Eat it. From the sound of it, this apple should taste good."

Yan Xia has not recovered from the shock of Yu Jiang breaking the apple with his bare hands, "Oh! Okay, okay!"

As he spoke, Yan Xia mechanically reached out to take the apple, and then mechanically took a bite.

"You haven't said anything yet, how is that old woman doing now? Can I still give her a punch?"

Only then did Yan Xia come to his senses: Ah! I'm afraid this won't work anymore. The old woman had been sent back to the countryside by her disowned son. "

"Xiao Yu, why do I think you look a little regretful?"

"Is there any? I..."

Before Yu Jiang finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of opening the door. Yan Xia subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist.

"It's over, it's already this time, I forgot to cook!!!"

As soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife's hoarse voice: Magistrate Fang: ....
