Chapter 48
Chapter 48:
The tearful eyes looked straight at him.
Jiang Wu felt that her actions at this time might be regarded as nosy, but she always felt that the moment the boy found her, she was also responsible for him.
Whether as a lawyer or as a person, Jiang Wu can’t let himself turn a blind eye to the boy’s situation.
Jiang Wu sighed and regarded it as the last effort he could make. Although he was asked by the hostess to leave the house, before leaving, Jiang Wu still handed him a piece of paper printed with his own Business cards for job information.
“Mrs. Lin, this is my business card, if you have a place to get it…” Jiang Wu politely said.
“I don’t have it, take it back, I don’t need it.” The woman refused indifferently.
Jiang Wu had to swallow the second half of the sentence, but she still put the business card on the small coffee table in the living room.
“Then, excuse me, I’ll take my leave.”
As soon as Jiang Wu stepped out of Lin’s house, he heard a bang behind him, and the other party hurriedly closed the door of his house, isolating Jiang Wu, the uninvited guest, from the outside.
Jiang Wu looked back and took a deep look.
The traces and rust are really covered up a lot, but the Spring Festival couplets are too big, and they always look discordant when they are pasted on the door, just like the family behind the door.
Jiang Wu sighed, finally still unable to do anything, and walked downstairs.
Mrs. Lin looked at the business card Jiang Wu left on the coffee table for a while, and finally picked it up and prepared to throw it away. The boy who had been hiding in the bedroom rushed out and took the business card in her hand. .
The woman was angry, “What are you doing with that thing, you don’t dare to throw it away, if your father comes back and sees…”
Just thinking of this possibility, the woman trembled unconsciously.
The boy looked over with disappointed eyes, and finally let the woman shut up, and could only watch the child run out.
“Xiaocheng, where are you going, come back to me.”
Jiang Wu just started his car when he saw a small figure coming out of his window.
The boy firmly wiped his eyes and dried his tears, then smiled at Jiang Wu, “Auntie, yes, I’m sorry, thank you for being here today.”
Jiang Wu wanted to roll down the car window and rub the boy’s head again, she promised the boy would help him, but she ran away in vain in the end, the boy not only didn’t complain, didn’t Disappointed, he smiled at her and said sorry to her, but it wasn’t the child in front of him who should be sorry, never.
Before he had time to stretch his hand out of the window, Jiang Wu saw another figure appearing at the door of the building, running quickly towards him.
No time.
Jiang Wu thought, she must say something useful before the woman rushes over to take the child away.
“Xiaocheng, come here.” Jiang Wu beckoned.
Although Lin Xiaocheng didn’t understand why, he still walked to Jiang Wu with his trust in Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu only had time to say two words to Lin Xiaocheng, Lin Xiaocheng’s mother had already dragged her son into her arms from behind and hugged him tightly.
“What do you want to do?” Her angry look seemed to regard Jiang Wu as a destroyer of her family.
Jiang Wu was not angry, but looked at Lin Xiaocheng, “Remember?”
Lin Xiaocheng nodded vigorously, “Remember.”
Lin Xiaocheng wanted to say goodbye to Jiang Wu, but before he could leave, he was dragged by his mother back to the old and dark building.
“Come, follow me home, come.”
When she got home, Mama Lin snatched the business card given by Jiang Wu from the boy, and threw it into the trash, “I tell you, children are not in charge of adults’ business. , you still don’t know anything, how can you find an outsider to take care of your own family affairs, don’t listen to those lawyers talking about it, they just want money.”
Lin Xiaocheng retorted, “Aunt Jiang is different.”
Mother Lin said viciously, “Why is it different, she would rather demolish a temple than destroy a marriage. She is looking forward to the separation of other people’s wives every day.
Lin Xiaocheng looked at his mother coldly.
Mother Lin gave a meal, this child never looked at anyone with this kind of eyes even when he was beaten the worst by his father.
Mother Lin was finally a little panicked, she quickly stopped Lin Xiaocheng’s hand that was about to close the door, and tried her best to soften her voice and comforted, “I have been fighting with your father for all these years, how can there be Husbands and wives don’t quarrel, your father just has a bad temper.”
Lin Xiaocheng said coldly, “What about me?”
Mother Lin continued, “He always loves you, as long as you are sensible and obedient and study hard…”
Lin Xiaocheng interrupted her mother’s words and said decisively, “It’s not like this, the fact is that even if I am sensible and obedient, I will be beaten, even if I get good grades, I will be beaten, Mom, can you stop lying to yourself? myself.”
He opened his mother’s hand holding the door frame and closed the door hard.
Myself… deceiving myself?
Mother Lin panicked, she didn’t dare to think about this issue at all, she was afraid that if she really thought about it, she would find that what her son said was right.
She staggered back to the living room and sat down, her eyes inadvertently fell on the business card she threw in the trash can.
She picked it up involuntarily. The whole process was short and long. When she was thinking about whether to unfold it again, she suddenly heard the sound of the key turning the door lock.
She hurriedly held the business card in her hand, looked in the mirror, saw nothing unusual, and then greeted her at the door.
“Where are the people, where did they all die?” The familiar rude roar came, and Mama Lin hurriedly accelerated her pace.
“It’s back.” Mother Lin greeted.
The man was drunk. It was only noon now. He was afraid that he had already drunk.
“Slowly, dawdling, what about that little brat, Dad is back, and he doesn’t even say hello?”
Mother Lin was afraid that her husband would trouble the child again, so she quickly said, “The child is studying in the back room, and he just came back. I’ll call him.”
The man waved his hand directly, “Forget it, I’m angry when I see him. What’s the use of having such a thing, I know how to spend money, and I should have strangled him when I knew it was born.”
The man’s voice was originally loud, but now he borrowed the spirit of the wine, and it was like a roar. Lin Xiaocheng hid in his room, lying on the table and desperately covering his ears with his hands.
He felt that he was really useless, the man he called his father, obviously didn’t come in, obviously didn’t get close to him, just stood outside and said a few words, it scared him trembling.
Lin Xiaocheng was afraid, he was afraid but had nowhere to hide, he could only bury his head in his arms and cry silently.
How long will this day last, and when will he grow up and leave this **** called home.
After Jiang Wu left the Lin house, he was listless all afternoon.
When Lin Lan was cleaning and passing by her door in the afternoon, she saw her leaning on the chair in a trance, so she quietly brought a basin of succulent from the reception room and placed it on her desk.
This child is gentle and caring, knowing that Jiang Wu may be in a bad mood, so she doesn’t ask or disturb, come quietly, walk quietly, leaving only a little green in front of her.
When Jiang Wu went home, he took the pot of little succulents with him.
When Jiang Wu entered the house, Shen Mu also came back not long ago, and the two walked back and forth.
“We are truly blessed by God.” Shen Mu said intoxicated.
Jiang Wu has long been surprised, but Shen Mu didn’t say that it was a promise they had made thousands of years ago that they happened to go home together. Don’t say it, otherwise, I don’t know what Shen Mu will radiate.
Jiang Wu is not the kind of person who doesn’t take work emotions home, so in the two hours from cooking to eating, Shen Mu really didn’t notice anything wrong with Jiang Wu .
But at eight or nine o’clock in the evening, the two of them were sitting on the sofa watching TV together, and they didn’t know how to press the button. They just came to the legal program channel, which happened to be talking about domestic violence. The victim narrated his tragic experience after the mosaic scene, and the language could not accurately convey the scene at that time. The program team then broadcast the scene restoration of the cast and crew simulating the shooting.
The cry of the woman, the cry of the child, the beating, the abuse, the knocking, the sound of breaking, all of a sudden stimulated Jiang Wu’s sensitive nerves.
The screen suddenly went black.
Jiang Wu rushed over to get the remote control and turned off the TV directly.
Shen Mu sat up and looked at Jiang Wu, who was still a little excited.
“I’m going to wash my face.” After Jiang Wu finished speaking, he went straight into the bathroom.
Shortly after Jiang Wu entered, there was the sound of running water.
Shen Mu kept looking in the direction of the washroom, but Jiang Wuren hadn’t come out for a long time, and the sound of water never stopped.
Shen Mu was a little worried, walked to the door and knocked lightly.
“I came in?” Shen Mu asked aloud.
No one answered, no one refused, Shen Mu turned the doorknob and pushed in.
Jiang Wu’s face was full of water, she obviously just washed her face as she said, but she didn’t dry it immediately, and didn’t turn off the faucet, she just looked in the mirror He was stunned.
Shen Mu was taken aback, she didn’t know what happened to Jiang Wu, and she didn’t know if she could ask, she could only take Jiang Wu’s towel down, pulled her gently, and pulled her Dry the water on the face little by little.
Jiang Wu suddenly said, “Actually, I understand that feeling.”
Shen Mu couldn’t understand.
Jiang Wu didn’t seem to need her answer, just said to himself, “I used to be helpless and hopeless, I also hope and pray, even if I am alone, a little Well, if anyone can help me, please help me…”
Jiang Wu’s words also evoked Shen Mu’s memories, her hand holding the towel trembled imperceptibly.
Jiang Wu blamed himself, “I can do more, even if I didn’t talk to her mother, but I can think of other ways, I don’t have to file a lawsuit for divorce, I can Looking for a third-party agency to intervene to solve the problem of domestic violence against children, but I just left, no way…”
Jiang Wu seemed to suddenly think of something, and went straight around Shen Mu to open the door.
Shen Mu looked at Jiang Wu, and her memory was pulled back to when she was six years old. She seemed to see the little girl wearing a red cotton jacket and a porcelain doll again. She desperately held the hand of the other dirty crying little girl, raised her head bravely and asked loudly, “Let go of my sister, don’t take her away.”
Jiang Wu has always been like this, obviously it has nothing to do with her, but with her passion, she will never learn to stay out of it.
