Chapter 334: Chapter 332 What is going on_1 Chapter 334: Chapter 332 What is going on_1 Speaking of this, Xia Ningxing also felt a headache.
Yes, she could save them once, but she couldn’t save them for a lifeti.
What would they do after she left?
She couldn’t possibly go and teach Xiaohua’s father a lesson, beating him until he changed, could she?
But that would be intentional assault, she would end up with a criminal record, and she would be criticized to death by others.
As for murder, that was even more out of the question, it was a human boundary that should never be crossed.
So what could she do?
Xia Ningxing rubbed her temples; she was truly at a loss.
“I can’t think of any good solution at the mont, let’s just take it one step at a ti,” Xia Ningxing finally sighed, helplessly shaking her head at Ruan Ruanruan.
She would need to think long and hard about this issue.
Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t co up with any solution either, her little face wrinkled up: “For now, that’s all we can do.”
That night, lying on the kang bed, Xia Ningxing was still thinking about how to solve the issue. In the end, she felt that unless soday Xiaohua’s father was dealt with, it was really hard for her to do anything…
But to Xia Ningxing’s surprise, the next day, Ruan Ruanruan brought her so astonishing news with a look of delight: “Xiaxia! Did you know, Xiaohua’s dad has actually turned into an idiot!”
“What happened?” Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing was imdiately startled and quickly put down her work to ask.
Ruan Ruanruan hurriedly relayed the events she had just heard: “I don’t know exactly what happened, but when I went down the mountain to post a letter just now, I heard the villagers discussing that Xiaohua’s dad went crazy with drink again last night by himself, and then sohow he started banging his head against the wall like mad, and ended up knocking himself out.”
“After soone saw him, they quickly got help to take him to the health clinic, where the doctor said there was no serious damage, but when Xiaohua’s dad woke up, everybody found out that he had beco an idiot, with about the intelligence of a two or three-year-old child.”
“The doctor said it might be related to the head injury! And the chances of recovery are not great,” Ruan Ruanruan finished in one breath.
After listening, Xia Ningxing felt genuinely relieved!
Xiaohua and her mother would never have to suffer like this anymore.
“Evil deeds will bring evil retribution! Heaven has eyes!” Xia Ningxing murmured to herself and then suddenly thought of sothing else, continuing to ask, “Ruanruan, do Xiaohua and her mother know about this?”
Xia Ningxing suddenly beca worried about Xiaohua and her mother; no matter what, that man was still their biological father and husband.
“They know,” Ruanruan nodded.
Xia Ningxing imdiately asked, “What was their reaction?”
“The mother and daughter burst into tears, but not out of sadness, but joy that they could finally escape from their misery…” Ruanruan began.
For a mother and daughter who had been subjected to violence for a long ti, how could they not be overjoyed upon hearing that their abuser had encountered misfortune, even if he was their husband and father, what of it?
The years of beatings had already eroded all familial love and affection.
Certainly, many people would not understand why they would not choose to divorce and leave with their child if they were so miserable?
The won of that era were generally foolish, thinking that divorce was shaful. They feared their child being looked down upon for being from a single-parent family, so they would rather compromise and swallow all their misery.
Xia Ningxing nodded, but she was still not quite at ease, so she went to check on Xiaohua again.
By the ti she arrived, Xiaohua and her mother had cald down. They were extrely grateful to Xia Ningxing and thanked her profusely for extending a helping hand to them.
Especially Xiaohua, who, with tears brimming in her eyes, raised her hand, “Teacher, thank you for saving and my mom yesterday. From now on, my life belongs to you!”
“Xiaohua, you’re making too much of it. Everyone’s life is their own, you can’t just give it away to soone else,” Xia Ningxing lowered her eyes, unable to resist stroking her little head, and helplessly smiled.
She would definitely intervene in such matters whenever she saw them.
“But I really want to give my life to Miss Xiaxia!” Luo Xiaohua looked up with her clear eyes, her face resolute as she gazed at the girl before her.
The girl was very beautiful, her cheeks white and tender, without a single flaw, like the bright moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She was kind-hearted as well, and in the future, she wanted to beco soone like Miss Xiaxia.
At this mont, Luo Xiaohua had no idea that she would later beco a key mber of Xia Ningxing’s entertainnt company.
Then, Luo Xiaohua tilted her head, looking at Xia Ningxing and sensibly said, “Teacher, since my dad has gone mad, he won’t be beating and mom anymore. After a couple of days, when my mom is a bit better, we will move back ho and not bother you anymore.”
“It’s fine, it’s not a bother at all, and no one else minds you staying here,” Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but let out a sigh as she touched her head again.
Yet Luo Xiaohua insisted on not taking advantage, no matter what.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that the child was too sensible.
After chatting for a few more minutes, it was ti to cook. Xia Ningxing had to go and prepare the al.
“Rest well, I’m going to cook.” After saying goodbye to Xiaohua and her mother, Xia Ningxing went to the kitchen.
There weren’t many food supplies left in the kitchen now.
They would normally expect a delivery today, but for so reason, it hadn’t appeared.
Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes, then saw the counselor carrying so food supplies into the kitchen.
When she saw the amount of food, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but frown, “Counselor, why is there so little food this ti?”
“Yeah, it’s definitely not enough to eat,” Ruan Ruanruan took over the conversation, also frowning.
In normal tis, the food he was holding would be just about enough for thirty people’s als, but now was a special period. Everyone was doing a lot of physical work every day, with increasing appetites, and this small amount of food was simply not enough.
The counselor let out a sigh, “I know it’s not enough, but there is nothing I can do. Today there was a landslide on the mountain road, and the truck delivering the food supplies got stuck on the road. These items were all I managed to buy from the villagers.”
But this place was just too poor, and the households barely had any surplus grain to sell.
Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but ask, “Then why not go to the nearby market?”
“What market around here? The market is all the way in the distant county town. Even if you drive there, it takes two to three hours round trip. By the ti you get back, it would be dark already. How are you supposed to deal with lunch then? Do you want the students who have been working all day to go hungry?” the counselor let out another helpless sigh.
Ruan Ruanruan frowned, circling back to the point, “But this still isn’t enough to eat!”
Just then, an honest and simple-looking young man walked in, carrying a wild boar triumphantly on his shoulders.
