Chapter 236 Mom, I was wrong

Chapter 236 Mom, I was wrong

The person who came was Huo Xinran. She was carrying a small package on her back and looked flustered. When she saw Huo's mother, she rushed over and tears streamed down her face: "Mom, I was wrong."

Mrs. Huo took a step back, her face a mixture of emotions.

Shen Zhixia said speechlessly, "Huo Xinran, you still haven't told me how you got here?"

Seeing Huo Xinran here is really not a good thing. Besides, this is not Huo's mother's house, but the place where she and Huo Chenzhou live. I really don't know why Huo Xinran would find this place.

Huo Xinran glanced at Shen Zhixia and said through tears, "I had no other choice but to flee here. There's nowhere left for me in the village. If I stay here any longer, I'll die!"

As she spoke, she began to take off her clothes. Her arms and back were covered in scars, some old and some new, making her look horrific.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huo couldn't bear it and said, "Did they do all this?"

“Yes! It was Li Chao and his mother who beat me. Ever since I married into the Li family, they have beaten me every day and forced me to do chores every day. But even if I do the chores, they will still beat me. I have run away many times, but they still catch me and bring me back.”

Huo Xinran cried uncontrollably: "I told the village chief about being beaten, and he immediately sent me home. But they beat me even more severely. I really had no other choice. Mom, please save me. If you don't save me, I really won't survive."

In fact, Huo Xinran was hiding some things. She did have injuries, but Li Qiang and his mother also had injuries; they had fought each other.

Huo Xinran was no pushover either; she would beat up those two, but being a woman, she wasn't very strong, and there were two of them, so she couldn't defeat them at all.

As for chores, Li's mother and Li Qiang urged Huo Xinran to do chores every day, but Huo Xinran was not an honest person. She just wouldn't do chores, so the three of them often fought. Of course, in the end, Huo Xinran was the one who got beaten the most.

Although Shen Zhixia felt that domestic violence was wrong, she didn't want to get involved in Huo Xinran's matter. She said, "Huo Xinran, if you are dissatisfied, then go to the police station and let them stand up for you. I believe they will definitely uphold justice for you. Don't forget that you have already reunited with your biological parents, and we have nothing to do with you anymore."

Huo's mother was so good to Huo Xinran, but Huo Xinran was a scoundrel. Huo's mother raised her with great care, but Huo Xinran got angry because Huo's mother couldn't find her a good partner, and she broke off all ties with Huo's mother.

She hurt Huo's mother so much, how could she still have the nerve to come back? Sometimes Shen Zhixia admired these people; she found that these people were really shameless.

No matter what they've done, some people can still turn back and ask for help.

Shen Zhixia then said, "Huo Xinran, do you know? When you wanted to marry Li Qiang, Mom didn't agree. She even went to see you, and what did you do in the end?"

“Li Qiang was never a good person, and I think you must have known that, but you still married him without hesitation. You never cared about your mother’s opinion at all.”

Huo's mother had wanted to help Huo Xinran before, but Huo Xinran didn't trust her mother at all. She also knew that Li Qiang was not a good person, but she still wanted to take a gamble. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and lost the gamble. Now she found that Li Qiang was much more of a scoundrel than she had imagined, so she wanted to turn back.

Where in the world can you find such a good thing, where can Huo Xinran do whatever she wants?

Huo Xinran suddenly slapped herself hard, her face turning red. "Yes, it's all my fault, all my fault. If I had listened to Mom, I wouldn't be in this situation today. I know now that all my decisions were wrong. I shouldn't have left the Huo family in the first place. In this world, only Mom is the best to me."

"Mom, I beg you, please let me come back. I don't want to go back to that hellish place, and I won't acknowledge my biological parents. No, they weren't my biological parents at all. They abused me, didn't give me food, and they were just using me."

Huo Xinran knew that her mother was soft-hearted, so she chose to talk about the most difficult parts of her mother's life. Of course, she embellished some of her words, but most of them were true, because she had indeed had a very hard time during this period.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Huo listened, a sad expression appeared on her face.

Even if Huo Xinran wasn't a close adopted daughter, Huo's mother still put in a lot of effort and had spent many years with her. It would be a lie to say that there was no affection between them.

Moreover, even if a stranger had suffered so much, given Huo's mother's strong empathy, she would not have been able to bear it.

Shen Zhixia couldn't help but interrupt her: "So what do you want to do now? Should we call the police for you?"

She did want to get rid of Huo Xinran, but it seemed impossible. Huo's mother's eyes were full of tears, but she was unwilling to get completely involved in the matter.

If this happened to anyone else, Shen Zhixia might be happy to help, but Huo Xinran is not worth it at all. If they help her wholeheartedly, she might just turn around and swindle them. Anyway, it's not like Huo Xinran hasn't done this kind of thing before.

Huo Xinran lowered her head and said, "Don't call the police yet. It won't do any good. After all, it's a family matter. I don't want to lose face. I just want to stay here for now and talk about it later."

Shen Zhixia said, "It's not appropriate for you to stay here. Besides, there's nowhere for you to stay here."

Huo Xinran pursed her lips, looking at her mother with a wronged expression, hoping that her mother would speak up for her. Huo's mother had indeed softened her heart, but she also knew that this place was not in her hands, so she could only remain silent.

"Mom, can I stay in the dormitory where my sister used to live? I heard she's married now and definitely doesn't live there anymore. Can I stay for a few days? I promise I won't cause her any trouble. I'll just stay for a few days."

Huo Xinran said anxiously, "I will divorce Li Chao. After the divorce, I will leave here. Just give me a place to live."

When it comes to where Huo Chunyan lives, Shen Zhixia has no say in the matter.

Just then, Huo Chunyan came over for a visit and bumped into Huo Xinran. She immediately frowned and said, "Huo Xinran, what are you doing here?"
