Chapter 261 Everything is for Uncle and Aunt
The child's actions undoubtedly made them all admire him.
After finishing the children's affairs, they sent Uncle Kun and the others back first. Then, seeing that it was still early, they went to the government building and told Mayor Guo that she had given the children medicine, and then discussed the matter of re-registering the children.
Ruan Ruan's idea was very simple. Since all the villagers were now imprisoned, and she had taken over their previous household registration and they had forgotten about what had happened before, from now on, they were the first group of children sponsored by the charity, and she was their new guardian. No matter what outsiders said about them before, she would not allow what had happened before to happen again. She wanted to change her identity and her life.
The mayor also agreed with her idea and said that he would contact the police. They were all normal children, and they couldn't be left to bear these things for the rest of their lives and be criticized by others. Now that Ruan Ruan was willing to do this, it was also a blessing for the children.
After finishing the discussion, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng walked towards the meeting point at a leisurely pace.
When they arrived, Zheng Xuyang had not arrived yet, so Huo Haocheng got out of the car and waited beside it. However, Ruan Ruan did not sleep well in the morning, so she just closed her eyes and rested in the passenger seat.
What they didn’t expect was that before Zheng Xuyang arrived, several uninvited guests arrived.
Hearing a noisy sound from afar, Huo Haocheng subconsciously looked into the crowd, only to see Gu Jingxi being chased and beaten by an old woman with a broom.
"Mom, mom, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again, I won't do it again." She begged for mercy while dodging.
"You slut, you lose money, you don't bring a penny home, you eat white rice every day, and now you have learned to steal things, I will beat you to death, you bitch."
The old woman remained indifferent to Gu Jingxi's pleas for mercy, and instead struck with a little more force. As she moved, the onlookers all moved away, fearing that the old woman would not pay attention and hit them, and their blows would be in vain.
The crowd dispersed, allowing Huo Haocheng to see more clearly.
As they got closer to the car, Huo Haocheng looked at the sleeping person in the car and wondered whether he should drive the car farther away.
"...Well, what's wrong?" She was not a deep sleeper to begin with, and woke up when she heard the noise just now, but she didn't want to get up, so she kept her eyes closed. Now that the noise was getting louder, Huo Haocheng looked at her.
"....You'd better come down and take a look yourself." He didn't know how to tell her. After all, this person was her nominal cousin. Although he had never met her, she was now being chased and beaten by her in-laws, and they had seen it. If she didn't do anything, it would seem that it would be hard to justify herself in front of her uncle and aunt. But if she did, it was her own family affair. And with her ungrateful personality, he didn't know if she would blame them if he did.
Seeing Huo Haocheng looking embarrassed, Ruan Ruan stuck her head out of the car door to take a look. When she saw clearly that the person being beaten on the ground was Gu Jingxi, Ruan Ruan looked more uncomfortable than if she had eaten a fly.
She finally understood why he let her see it herself. Now that she had seen what happened, she would rather not have woken up.
"Is it too late for me to turn back time to two minutes ago?" She looked at Huo Haocheng sadly, expecting his answer, as if time could really go back if he agreed.
"...Wife, if time could go back, I would like to go back to 20 minutes ago." He didn't want to see this scene even more than she did. If he had known he would see this scene, he would rather go around and pick up Zheng Xuyang, or stay in Mayor Guo's office and drink two more glasses of water.
"Ah!!!" It was impossible to turn back time, but they couldn't just watch someone get beaten to death in front of them, so after preparing themselves mentally, Ruan Ruan put her hands on the handlebars, muttered "Everything for my uncle and aunt", then opened the door like a hero cutting off his own arm, got out of the car, and walked towards Gu Jingxi aggressively.
Seeing that his wife had already gotten on, Huo Haocheng had no choice but to follow her.
She walked over, grabbed the broom in the old woman's hand, looked at her fiercely and said, "Try to hit her again."
"Where did you come from, you little bitch? How dare you meddle in my business? I think you are tired of living." Seeing that a little girl dared to meddle in her business, the old woman scolded her even more fiercely. Seeing that Ruan Ruan was holding the broom tightly, she wanted to hit her with her other hand. Huo Haocheng, who was following her, could only pull the girl back to his side.
The old woman wanted to chase after him and fight, but when she saw the tall man standing in front of her in military uniform, her momentum dropped. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"Comrade soldier, is it illegal for me to punish my own daughter-in-law?" The old woman had never seen Huo Haocheng before. Usually, Huo Haocheng only behaved better in front of relatives and friends. Her action of wanting to beat his wife just now completely angered Huo Haocheng.
"No matter who you hit, maliciously spreading rumors and beating and scolding others are all crimes. What, do you want to hit me too?" Huo Haocheng shouted at her.
Seeing the old woman up close, Ruan Ruan felt that this person seemed shrewd and calculating, but all of her thoughts were not worthy of being shown on the public. Then she looked at the hand that she had raised to hit her, and after hearing what Huo Haocheng said, she immediately put it behind her back.
During this gap, Ruan Ruan glanced at Gu Jingxi who was still lying next to her. Seeing that someone was supporting her, she sat on the ground with peace of mind and had no intention of getting up.
"Gu Jingxi, don't you plan to say anything?"
Originally, she didn't want to point her out by name, but she really couldn't help it. They all came to support her, but she quickly stood up and told them what was going on. She was not even as good as a three-year-old child. When children were bullied, they knew to go home and ask their parents for support. She was such a grown-up, couldn't she even complain?
"I...Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never cheat again. Please don't hit me."
Gu Jingxi knew Huo Haocheng, but Ruan Ruan had only met him once in the second grade of junior high school and had not had the chance to talk to him. She only knew that she was Huo Haocheng's wife. She thought that they would help her for the sake of her parents, but she didn't want to think about anything else now. She just felt that she was very embarrassed in front of them. She was so proud to run to Huo Haocheng and tell him not to be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Even though she later found out it was a misunderstanding, she still felt in her heart that Huo Haocheng wanted to break them up at that time.
But since the New Year, the Gu family really stopped caring about her, and her life in her husband's house has been getting worse and worse. This time she was so hungry that she stole a sweet potato to eat, but she didn't expect to be seen by her mother-in-law, and be chased and beaten by her for such a long distance.
Her embarrassment was seen by Huo Haocheng and his wife. She now just wanted to end it all quickly, go back, and forgive them as soon as possible.
The onlookers did not expect the girl to say such a thing. Anyone with a bit of nerve would say something favorable to themselves when seeing someone supporting them. But she said such a thing without any hesitation.
