Chapter 241 Returning Home 2
However, the pain that was expected did not come.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
A shrill female voice assaulted Mu Huaixi's eardrums. She suddenly looked up at the woman whose arms were being held by Ying Mingcheng and called out her name: "Mu Zhao!"
The name seemed to unveil those times she had deliberately forgotten, and Mu Huaixi's emotions surged. However, her third cousin, whose name she had just shouted out, suddenly stopped her madness, covered her face, and ran outside.
There was no trace of the fierce determination he had shown when he had just attacked her.
"Wah!!!" Little Heping was so frightened that he burst into tears. Little Huihui hugged his sister tightly, his eyes filled with tears, but he didn't forget to pat his sister on the back.
Ying Mingcheng was about to chase after them, but Xiao Xi stopped him. Right now, it was more important to comfort the children.
"Mom, weren't we going to save her? Why is she hitting people?" Xiao Wuhui's grievances only came to him after his sister stopped crying. He had always been proud of his parents' profession and had only ever seen patients express their gratitude before. This was the first time he had ever seen a mentally ill person.
The child doesn't understand the principle of giving without expecting anything in return; he only feels wronged because his good intentions haven't been rewarded.
Mu Huaixi hugged him, gently stroking his short, strong hair. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Let Mom tell you a story."
"Once upon a time, there was a farmer who saw a frozen snake on his way home. He kindly put the snake into his clothes, but the snake woke up and bit him."
Xiao Wuhui's eyes widened suddenly, and he frowned and pouted, "That snake is bad!"
“That’s right, the snake is bad.” Mu Huaixi picked up Xiao Heping from the side as well. “So when we help people, we must make sure we are safe. If the snake is a poisonous snake, the farmer will die.”
"How do you know if someone is a bad person? You can't just ask them when you're helping them, can you?" Xiao Wuhui was bursting with a sense of justice. At home, he helped the adults take care of his younger sister, peeled garlic in the kitchen, and even offered to run errands.
"Bad people don't admit they're bad people!"
Looking at his serious and troubled expression, Mu Huaixi suppressed the urge to laugh. "This requires a comprehensive judgment, but Xiao Wuhui, you must remember that adults will not ask children for help. If an adult asks you for help, you should come to your parents."
"I understand," Xiao Wuhui said, seemingly understanding but not quite, then he added, "What if it's a child, a child younger than me, asking for help?"
“Then you should come to your mom and dad too,” Mu Huaixi said, pulling him onto her lap. “Your mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma are all Xiao Wuhui’s helpers, right?”
As Ying Wuhui was gently stroked by his mother's hand and heard her say that she would be his helper, any resistance he felt vanished instantly. He snuggled into his mother's arms and sweetly agreed, "Yes!"
Mu Huaixi originally didn't want her child to know about these complicated "adult matters," but then she thought that the child would eventually grow up. If she had been taught by someone in her previous life, she wouldn't have been so naive, wouldn't have foolishly let her uncle's family scheme against her, and wouldn't have been so obediently bullied.
Children are innocent, but they also need to know how to protect themselves.
Because of this unexpected event, their trip back to Zhangjiagou was delayed. Ying Mingcheng arranged for them to stay at the police station and went out to inquire about the situation.
"I've found out, it really is your cousin," Ying Mingcheng said when he returned. The two little ones were already asleep, snuggled together. He beckoned to Mu Huaixi, signaling her to come out and talk.
Do you remember when Mu Zhao took the initiative to marry Zhang Hongwei?
Mu Huaixi nodded. After she left with Ying Mingcheng, her uncle's family and the Zhang family started fighting like dogs, and no one came out on top. She remembered that her uncle's cousin had used his connections to get Zhang Hongwei imprisoned, but Mu Zhao turned around and accused the Mu family, saying that she and Zhang Hongwei were in a free-love relationship and that the Mu family should pay back the money.
"Well, in the end, your uncle and aunt were locked up for two months, and Zhang Hongwei was sentenced to five years, but he behaved well in prison and was released this year."
Mu Huaixi immediately thought of the bruises and wounds on Mu Zhao's body, "This Zhang Hongwei, even if he's released, he'll still be a bastard! He should be locked up for life!"
"Hmm." Ying Mingcheng raised his hand and rubbed her furrowed brows. "Mu Zhao is not innocent either. Zhang's mother is dead."
"Dead?" Mu Huaixi couldn't believe it. Old Granny Zhang looked like a sickly person who always said she wouldn't live long, but the truth was that she lived longer than her in her previous life!
"Hmm." Ying Mingcheng hesitated. Logically, he shouldn't talk about other people's affairs behind their backs, but this matter was obviously related to them all, and it might even be Xiao Xi's unresolved issue.
He took a breath and told her everything he had heard: "Mu Zhao and Zhang Hongwei got their marriage certificate in prison, and then she moved into Zhang's house with the money. She has a bad reputation in the textile factory's residential compound. She often argues and fights with Zhang's mother, causing trouble at the neighborhood committee, the women's federation, and even the police station."
"what......"
Mu Huaixi was somewhat surprised, but not entirely.
Mu Zhao is no good person, and neither is Old Madam Zhang. When two wicked people get together, they can only torment each other.
"But how did she die?" Mu Huaixi frowned. She remembered that Old Mrs. Zhang was always sick, but never seriously ill. Moreover, she was the kind of person who would blame others for her pain and would argue even when she was wrong. How could she have died so suddenly?
Ying Mingcheng frowned. "I heard that he fell outside last winter and could only recuperate at home. He passed away before the New Year."
"..."
“At that time, Zhang Hongwei had not yet been released. Mu Zhao arranged the funeral. Although the people around had some doubts, they could not ask her directly. But it is said that Zhang Hongwei went to many places after he was released, and then got into a fight with Mu Zhao when he got home.”
Mu Huaixi's face darkened; she didn't know how to comment.
"Zhang Hongwei was quite ruthless; he caused Mu Zhao to miscarry."
"..."
"Huh?" Mu Huaixi's eyes widened. If she heard correctly, Zhang Hongwei had caused Mu Zhao to miscarry as soon as he came out.
This kid...
"Mu Zhao is quite close to a few people from the textile factory."
Ying Mingcheng spoke very tactfully, but he still managed to control Mu Huaixi for a long time. Her cousin was truly a remarkable person.
Actually, it's not surprising when you think about it. Mu Zhao and Zhang Hongwei didn't have any feelings for each other. They were only together for mutual benefit. Zhang Hongwei even went to jail. So it wouldn't be unreasonable for Mu Zhao to divorce him and find someone else.
But what Mu Huaixi didn't expect was that Mu Zhao moved into the Zhang family home, not only having an affair with someone else, but also driving Zhang's mother to her death.
“This is really…” Mu Huaixi shook her head, then suddenly threw herself into Ying Mingcheng’s arms. “Let’s go back to Zhangjiagou.”
She didn't want to waste any more time on these lousy things.
In this life, Zhang Hongwei and Mu Zhao will be each other's nightmares. I hope they are locked in a lifelong entanglement! Never letting each other go!
