Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Bai Gets Beaten Up Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Bai Gets Beaten Up ng Jingfen was montarily stunned and retorted almost subconsciously, “What’s wrong with your house?
Don’t you cook when you’re at ho?”
ng Chuyue looked at her aningfully, “When I was at your house, I always did the cooking, and now at my house, it’s your turn to cook.”
ng Jingfen: “…”
“Bullshit!”
ng Jingfen yelled and then realized she had done sothing foolish.
Feeling guilty, she looked weakly at ng Wanhua and said, “I’ve always been studying, I didn’t have ti to learn cooking, I can’t cook.”
That was a feeble excuse from ng Jingfen.
After ng Chuyue dropped out of school, Jingfen successfully entered high school, only to drop out after a year and a half, refusing to go to school since the start of this year.
ng Chuyue sneered, “Shouldn’t you be learning quickly then?
Do you plan to beco the kind of person others talk about, good for nothing?
If you can’t even cook, see who would want to marry you.”
That remark hit hard.
ng Jingfen jumped up, wanting to hit ng Chuyue, but seeing ng Wanhua’s surprised expression, she sat back down, wiping her tears and said, “Auntie, look, Chuyue is bullying .”
“I’m bullying you?”
ng Chuyue scoffed, pulling up her sleeves and lifting her skirt, revealing the scars deep and shallow on her body: “Don’t tell , you don’t know how these scars ca about?”
ng Chuyue’s words were directed at ng Jingfen, but her eyes were on ng Wanhua.
Seeing the large and small scars on Chuyue’s arms and legs, Wanhua stood up in shock, her lips trembling as she asked, “They actually hit you?”
And hit you so severely, so frequently?
ng Wanhua knew that ng Chuyue had suffered in her maternal ho.
But she thought it was only in terms of poor clothing and heavy chores, never imagined that they would beat her so rcilessly.
She frowned and asked Jingfen, “Did you do all this?”
ng Jingfen hurriedly waved her hands, “No, I just accidentally hurt her arm once, the rest were done by Grandma and my mom.”
She dared not lie, knowing lying would do no good.
ng Wanhua stared blankly at ng Chuyue, “Why didn’t you ever tell ?”
ng Chuyue pressed her lips together, “Grandma and Aunt Fu threatened , saying if I talked, they would no longer help take care of .
The first ti that happened I was only five years old.
If they didn’t take care of , you couldn’t work to support .”
What ng Chuyue said was only part of the truth.
Initially, Grandma and Fu Hongfang indeed scared her with that.
She was young then, believed they were right, didn’t dare defy them.
As she grew, no longer needing care but still not telling ng Wanhua, she thought Wanhua resented her and didn’t care about her, deliberately pretending not to know about the constant beatings, just as she knew her new clothes were always being taken by Jingfen.
ng Wanhua clenched her fists, whispering apologetically to ng Chuyue, “I’m sorry, Chuyue, it’s my fault, I apologize to you.
Also, if you want to stay in Hai City, you can.
If you don’t want to go to Aunt Qin’s place, I can help you find another job.”
ng Chuyue felt both happy and sad.
Happy because her mom didn’t know about the beatings, aning she wasn’t as uncaring as Chuyue had thought.
Sad because all these years of suffering could have been avoided if she had just told her mother.
Her eyes curved in a sweet smile at ng Wanhua, “Mom, this is all because Grandma and Aunt’s bad temper.
Look, grandpa and uncle never hit .
So, I really don’t bla you, I’m thankful you gave birth to , raised , and made so capable and beautiful.
Really, Mom, the other day on the train, so many people complinted .”
ng Chuyue smiled proudly, hesitated, then sweetly hugged ng Wanhua’s arm, “Mom, I promise I’ll take good care of you from now on.
The money I’ve earned working at Aunt Qin’s shop, I’ll give it all to you.”
