Chapter 821 Mom, Don’t Cry
Jiji was happy, "Is it a gift from uncle to mom?"
Xu Xiaoen looked at the shoes in her hand and responded vaguely. The shoe tags were removed, the packaging box was removed, and they were placed in an ordinary cloth bag. No matter how stupid she was, she still felt the man's thoughtfulness.
She squatted down and put on her shoes, and instantly her feet seemed to be released from the shackles. Although there was still some pain in the worn areas, she felt much more comfortable.
Holding Jiji's hand again, mother and daughter walked home.
After arriving, Xu Xiaoen started packing things without daring to delay too much.
She met Zhu Nan today, and with Zhu Nan's disgust for her, she would definitely tell Zhu Jun her news. He might come to her door again when he was drunk, so she had to move out as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoen was secretly glad that Cheng Hanyu suddenly provided her with the job. They definitely would not have thought of her moving there, and even if they knew that the Rose Valley was strictly guarded, Zhu Jun would not be able to enter.
In the past three years, every time I thought about my choice at that time, I felt extremely regretful. With a sigh, Xu Xiaoen continued to lower his head to pack things, but he heard a childish sigh from the side. He raised his head and looked at his daughter, "What are you sighing for?"
Jiji looked at her mother with an innocent face, "I'm learning from you."
Xu Xiaoen was stunned, "Little rascal, what do you do to imitate your mother?"
"Then why is mom sighing?" Jiji asked Xu Xiaoen with her pretty little face raised.
Xu Xiaoen was stunned by her daughter's question. She reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead with her fingertips, "Okay, okay, mommy won't sigh anymore."
"Well, and Jiji is not a little bad guy." Jiji nodded with satisfaction and did not forget to correct his mom.
Xu Xiaoen smiled, "Yeah, he's not a little bad guy, he's a smart guy."
After hearing this, Jiji tilted her head and tried hard to think about whether Smart Guy was a good thing. Then she saw her mother take out the suitcase, and her little face instantly drooped, "Mom, are we moving again?"
Xu Xiaoen was stung by her daughter's words. She lowered her hands and kept moving. It took her a while to collect herself before looking at her daughter with a smile. "Well, but this time we will move to a big house with a beautiful yard, Ji." Ji will definitely like it when the time comes.”
But after she finished speaking, she saw her three-year-old daughter's eyes were red and her beautiful big eyes were full of tears. She rushed over and hugged Jiji into her arms, "Jiji, be good, don't cry."
"Mom, is it because Jiji is not good? Did Jiji not do it on purpose? Did aunt complain to Jun's father and let him beat us..." Jiji said incoherently with tears rolling down her eyes.
Xu Xiaoen stretched out her hand to wipe her daughter's tears and explained, "Mom knows it's not Jiji's fault, and we didn't move because of Jun's father. It was your Uncle Cheng. He introduced mom to a part-time job, helping an uncle and aunt look after the house. It's next to Uncle Cheng's house, don't you like Uncle Cheng very much? After we move there, we can see Uncle Cheng often."
Jiji was still crying. When she heard Uncle Cheng's tears stop, her little body was still trembling. She opened her big washed eyes and said, "Mom, are everything you said true? Don't lie to Jiji."
"How could mom lie to Jiji? We can see Uncle Cheng tomorrow." Xu Xiaoen didn't want Jiji to have too much contact with Cheng Hanyu, but Jiji obviously liked Cheng Hanyu, and whether it was about the house or today She owed him a favor for everything in the dance class.
Fortunately, Cheng Hanyu didn't see anything else. She would just find a way to return his favor in the future.
Hearing that she would see Cheng Hanyu tomorrow, Jiji finally turned from crying to laughing, and started to help Xu Xiaoen pack things together. From time to time, she would bring Xu Xiaoen a small thing to throw in the trash. She was so cute and cute, which made Xu Xiaoen's heart soften. , the humiliation and pain once became worth it at this moment.
After packing her luggage, Xu Xiaoen made some food for herself and Jiji, and then called the landlord. She suddenly quit the rent because the lease period was not up. The landlord was very dissatisfied. After arguing with her for a while, he still withheld the deposit and One month's rent.
Although Xu Xiaoen felt distressed, she also knew that there was nothing she could do.
At night, I coaxed Jiji to sleep. I sat in a small room of about twenty square meters with a desk lamp and settled my accounts. Occasionally, I glanced at the pair of light-colored low-heeled shoes in the corner, looking a little dazed. The one from three years ago. The night was an out-of-control derailment in her cautious life, like a sweet and erotic dream. When she woke up, her life only got worse.
With a self-deprecating smile, Xu Xiaoen lowered his head and continued to look at his small account book, thinking that he would not be able to join the dance class here. The chance of tuition refunds was smaller than the rent, but Jiji's dance still had to be learned...
Boom, boom, boom!
Xu Xiaoen was lost in thought when suddenly there was a rapid knocking sound outside the door. She was so shocked that the pen in her hand fell down on the notebook. Then she turned around and rushed to Jiji's side, trying to cover her daughter's ears.
But it was too late, Gigi woke up with a start, her eyes full of fear, and threw herself into her arms.
Xu Xiaoen hugged her daughter tightly, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. The knocking outside became more violent, accompanied by the sound that gave her nightmares. "Xu Xiaoen, open the door. I know you are inside, open the door!"
"Mom..." Gigi called her mother in fear, her body shivering and shaking.
"Jiji, don't be afraid. Do you still remember what your mother taught you?" Xu Xiaoen tried to calm down her emotions and coaxed her daughter in a low voice.
"Well, cover your ears and hide, there will be a protector to help us drive away the bad guys..." Gigi repeated the words her mother had given her countless times in her childish voice.
Xu Xiaoen nodded, "Jiji is the best-behaved, smartest and bravest. Can Jiji hide now?"
The little girl nodded to Xu Xiaoen with tearful eyes, hummed, then crawled out of Xu Xiaoen's arms and hid under the bed skillfully.
Xu Xiaoen bit her lip fiercely, then stood up and walked to the door. Through the door, she said, "Zhu Jun, we are divorced. If you harass me like this again, I can call the police."
"Bitch, how dare you? I've heard all about it. That lawyer is your new mistress, right? Why do you really think you've reached a high branch? Open the door for me!" Zhu Jun shouted drunkenly, with all the strength in his hands. It's bigger, and the wooden door vibrates as a result.
Xu Xiaoen's face turned pale, "Zhu Jun, we originally agreed to get married. We agreed to help each other at the beginning, and now we are divorced. Do you have to bring things to this point?"
"I regret it, don't you? You women are all despicable, and you are always messing around. I thought you were different from others, but I didn't expect you to be a bitch. Open the door quickly..." Zhu Jun became more and more filthy and irritable the more he cursed, The whole floor shook.
Xu Xiaoen moved the table over and propped it against the door. She gritted her teeth and stopped talking, but her body shook uncontrollably. She grew up with Chen Kai, Zhu Nan and Zhu Jun. She never knew that one day they would become It looks like this now.
She never thought that the person who she thought would hold her hand for the rest of her life would plot her every step of the way, push her into a pit of fire, and think he had her best interests at heart.
Xu Xiaoen still remembered that the first time Zhu Jun hit her, she had just given birth to Jiji less than two months ago. After being shocked, she thought that he was just because of his career failure, plus her boyfriend was in love with someone else and was stimulated. Momentarily out of control.
It's a pity that she was too naive, and her subsequent life was like a nightmare from which she could not wake up. She proposed divorce countless times, but Zhu Jun refused. Every time, they made trouble at her house, and her parents took turns to persuade her, but in the end she always Nothing settled. For the sake of Jiji's mental health, she kept moving, but she was always found in the end.
He was like a lingering devil, haunting them.
It wasn't until Cheng Hanyu took over her case that she finally got rid of their relationship as husband and wife, but she didn't expect that he was still unwilling to let her go.
With all the past three years rolling through his mind, Xu Xiaoen closed his eyes and said, "Zhu Jun, I have nothing to do with you now. If you don't leave, don't blame me for calling the police."
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell your family that your child is not mine? Then do you think your parents will still have the nerve to stay in Zhujia Village?" Zhu Jun threatened sadly through the door.
This is not the first time Xu Xiaoen has heard these words, and every time he hears them, his heart gets cold, "Zhu Jun, don't forget that I know about you. The worst we can do is break up together!"
"Bitch, if you dare, you won't let me hide our divorce. You don't even dare to talk about our divorce. Do you really dare to ask me to talk about it? And do you have any evidence about me? Even if you Do you think they believe me or you? Open the door!" Zhu Jun finished speaking brazenly and started knocking on the door again.
Several people nearby were disturbed and yelled a few times, but Zhu Jun not only did not hold back, but slapped him harder and started yelling again. A person who usually seemed gentle and polite seemed to have completely changed after drinking. people.
In the end, the landlord upstairs was quarreled. Originally, the landlord was not happy that Xu Xiaoen was quitting the rent today. Now he called this person and called Xu Xiaoen directly to tell her to get out now and not to affect other tenants.
Xu Xiaoen felt panicked after hearing this, so he begged the other party, but the landlord who was woken up was very angry and didn't listen to Xu Xiaoen's explanation at all, so he hung up the phone.
Outside the door, Zhu Jun changed his rudeness and explained to the people around him that he had an argument with his wife, and then her wife refused to open the door for him. Zhu Jun's face was so confusing that some people outside actually believed it. Advise her to open the door.
What's even more frightening is that someone suggested that Zhu Jun go to the landlord to ask for the spare key. Xu Xiaoen was so frightened that he trembled and shouted, "Zhu Jun, I'm calling the police!"
After speaking, she didn't hesitate and dialed 110 directly.
After a while, an alarm sounded downstairs. Zhu Jun was warned by the court not to disturb Xu Xiaoen's life. He ran away as soon as he heard the sound. The person who had persuaded Xu Xiaoen to open the door was dumbfounded. He didn't know what he had done until the police came to interrogate him. What.
Xu Xiaoen opened the door with a shake and told the police about the situation. Because the person had already run away, the police had nothing to do. They just made a registration and asked her to be careful next time. But after such a fuss, the landlord felt unlucky and directly gave Xu Xiaoen a thousand dollars. He threw her suitcase out of the room and ordered her to move out immediately.
In the middle of the night, Xu Xiaoen was kicked out of the house, holding the suitcase in one hand and holding the frightened Jiji in the other. She was also worried that Zhu Jun would suddenly run out, shivering in the cold in the early winter night.
"Mom, where are we going now?" Jiji poked her little head out of Xu Xiaoen's arms and asked softly. There was still restlessness and fear on her beautiful little face, but she tried hard not to cry. She knew that her mother It’s already been hard, I can’t cause any more trouble to my mother.
"Let's... find a hotel to stay for one night, and then move next to Uncle Cheng tomorrow, okay?" Xu Xiaoen asked her daughter apologetically.
"Okay." Jiji nodded obediently.
Xu Xiaoen's eyes turned red in an instant. She lowered her head and rubbed her daughter's face with her cheek, murmuring in her heart, Mom, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry for you...
"Mom, don't cry." Jiji felt the moisture on her face and patted Xu Xiaoen with her little hands.
Xu Xiaoen almost burst into tears, raised her head to hold back the tears, and then put on a smile, "If mom doesn't cry, baby won't cry either."
"Yeah." Jiji hummed obediently again, and then pointed to the ground, "Mom, put me down, so I can walk by myself."
"No, mommy wants to hold Jiji." At this moment, Xu Xiaoen felt like the only thing she could hold on to was the soft person in her arms, and she couldn't bear to let go.
Jiji's beautiful and ambitious little face was full of worry, "But mommy will be tired."
"Mom, you're not tired." Xu Xiaoen kissed Jiji's forehead, hugged her daughter tighter, and dragged the heavy suitcase forward with one hand, because she was worried that Zhu Jun lived nearby and she didn't dare to look for it. The hotel was too close, so I was afraid of bumping into it if I took a single step, so I could only move forward.
Fortunately, she came out to wear the shoes Cheng Hanyu gave her today. Although they were heavy, they were easy to walk on. However, after a while, light snow started to fall in the sky.
First snow today.
It is said that Chuxue is romantic, but Xu Xiaoen feels that she will never experience this kind of romance, and only feels cold.
The snowflakes were accompanied by the north wind, which was bone-chillingly cold.
She paused to cover Gigi's face with her hat, then pulled up the suitcase again.
It was late at night and the hotel was not easy to find. She walked for who knows how long before she found one with lights on. When she went through the formalities and entered the room, Jiji was already asleep in her arms.
She carefully placed Jiji on the bed, clumsily took off her daughter's coat with stiff hands, and found hot water to wipe Jiji's cold face and feet. After settling Jiji, she finished The person slumped aside and looked at the time, which was already three o'clock in the morning.
I don't know how long I sat there before Xu Xiaoen regained his composure, stood up and rubbed his sore arms, and then entered the bathroom.
It wasn't until the hot water washed down that Xu Xiaoen felt that her body came back to life. When she walked out of the bathroom and saw the dirty shoes she was wearing, she squatted down and found a tissue and wiped them carefully. She lay down with a sigh of relief until they were clean. Go to bed.
Jiji was not sleeping soundly on the bed. She would occasionally murmur, but when she wanted to listen, the sound was gone. This repeated, Xu Xiaoen was so nervous that she didn't sleep much all night, just because she was afraid that Jiji was not feeling well.
Because of her unexpected pregnancy and the stimulation from Chen Kai and Zhu Nan, she was in panic all day long. She wanted to keep the child for a while and wanted to get rid of it for a while, but she was also afraid that her family would accidentally find out. This repeated, and later she married Zhu Jun hastily. After giving birth to Jiji, due to poor nutrition during pregnancy and the fact that Jiji was born prematurely and weighed less than four pounds, her health was much worse than that of ordinary children.
It wasn't until the morning light came on that Xu Xiaoen breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that Zhu Jun looked for her again not long after the police left. He found her moving and went out angrily.
