A group of people said something to each other, and the weak line of defense that Zhang Fang had built for herself collapsed. The courage she had saved for a long time was as dry as a balloon pricked by a needle.

Zhang Fang moved her dead lips, making an inaudible sound, and her originally straight back gradually hunched down.

That is something Xiao Tao is most familiar with.

Xiaotao pushed away the man's hand holding Zhang Fang's arm and said loudly: "Listen to their farts!"

She stared straight at Zhang Fang: "If you go back with him, you will not only be beaten worse, but they will also gossip about you. You will live with his beatings and scoldings for the rest of your life!"

Zhang Fang's breathing became heavier, and her throat felt like there was sand in it, "I..."

Xiao Tao said word for word: "If you don't want to be beaten every day, wait for him to grow old and wait for him to poop and pee, and don't want to live in fear every day, you can get divorced."

"But my son..." Zhang Fang closed her eyes, "He can't be delayed because of me."

"You thought about him, but did he think about you?" Xiao Tao asked, "You compromised again and again for him and got beaten again and again, but what about him?

If he stands up to protect you, he has a conscience, but if he takes it for granted, then his future is none of your business!"

"Why are you so worried about persuading people to divorce!"

"That's right, you have no shame!"

"If you destroy other people's families, be careful of being struck by lightning!"

The female police officer said nothing, and another police officer also began to persuade her to make peace and promised to give her husband a strict education.

On one side, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt said that it was Zhang Fang's own fault, and on the other side was the policeman who was very convincing. Zhang Fang was silent until a heartbreaking pain spread throughout her body.

She turned her head in disbelief and saw Xiaotao pinching her wound and looking at her coldly.

Does it hurt?

painful.

Zhang Fang suddenly raised her head, pointed at her husband and screamed: "You beast! I want to divorce you! I want to call the police! I want to sue you!"

She said tremblingly but loudly: "Comrade police, my husband has been beating and insulting me non-stop for twenty years, and slapped me at every turn. Everyone saw it at the vegetable market yesterday, and they are all witnesses! I have evidence!"

I have proof!"

She cried and murmured: "Everyone has seen it... Everyone has seen it..."

Zhang Fang grabbed Xiao Tao's hand tightly and obtained a steady stream of courage and spiritual support from her, and Xiao Tao was not stingy.

The scene was in chaos. The man took advantage of the chaos and picked up an object and threw it at Zhang Fang. His aim was very sure, but Xiao Tao escaped with Zhang Fang.

The policeman turned around to look and found that it was his own glass.

Without further ado, the evidence was conclusive and the man was handcuffed away.

Zhang Fang fell heavily on the chair, with a dazed expression on her face, as if she couldn't believe that the person who had oppressed her for more than 20 years was taken away like this.

Relatives were all pointing at Zhang Fang. She listened carefully and then smiled.

It was as if she had not sent her husband to prison, but had won a battle.

Xiao Tao has been accompanying Zhang Fang, taking notes with her, going to the hospital with her, running back and forth between the police station, hospital and home.

On the morning of the third day, the group of monks were about to leave after reciting sutras. Xiao Tao met them on the way back from the hospital carrying a thermos bucket. The old monk stopped, bowed to Xiao Tao, and recited a Buddha's name.

Just left.

Xiao Tao now could not understand the deep meaning in the old monk's glance. It was not until the day when the sky turned orange that Xiao Tao understood who the old monk was bowing to.

Half a month later, the results came back and Zhang Fang's husband was sentenced to six months' detention.

The good news is that Zhang Fang successfully divorced.

That day, Zhang Fang trembled and made a phone call. The other end was silent for a long time and said:

"Congratulations, Mom."

Zhang Fang couldn't help but shed tears. She hung up the phone. She held Xiao Tao's hand and said tremblingly, "Sister, thank you... thank you... thank you..."

Xiao Tao smiled and shook her head and asked her: "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhang Fang wiped away her tears: "I don't want to find a man anymore. I want to make some money. When my son gets married, if he is willing, I will take care of his children. If he is not willing, I will find a place to retire."

"Live well."

Xiao Tao said this calmly, which made Zhang Fang stunned. She felt as if she was talking to an old soul.

This feeling passed quickly, she smiled and nodded, the two talked for a while, and then Xiao Tao left.

When she went back in the evening, Xiao Tao cooked a large table of dishes while humming a song.

Chu Bai began to drool when he smelled the fragrance: "So many delicious things!"

Xiaotao smiled, said nothing, opened a bottle of red wine given by Fu Jia, and poured some after Chu Hanxing sat down.

She raised her cup and said to Chu Hanxing: "Master, I won't look for him anymore."

"Congratulations."

Chu Hanxing clinked glasses with her and drank it all in one gulp.

"You still know." Xiao Tao smiled.

Chu Hanxing raised his eyebrows without comment.

After a while, Xiaotao sighed softly, "Master, life is hard."

She put down her wine glass, "You must understand that feeling better than me. When you step out of your own world, you realize that all living beings are suffering."

"Look at the mountains and see them as mountains, see the water as water."

Chu Hanxing raised his eyes, "You want to help them?"

Xiaotao hesitated: "Can I?"

"You can." Chu Hanxing confirmed her.

Xiao Tao bit her lip, "I want to do charity."

"What's your plan?" Chu Hanxing asked.

Xiaotao clenched her fists with firm eyes: "I want to go to the mountains and help more girls."

Chu Hanxing nodded, "That's good."

She pulled out a card and said, "There are ten million in it. Do what you want."

Xiao Tao fearfully refused: "This, how is this possible!"

She plans to save money first and then do charity. She can sing and can ask Gao Min for help, dubbing, performing, anything. In short, she doesn't need sleep or material things, so she can save a lot of money.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Hanxing put the card in front of Xiao Tao, "I believe you can do a good job."

Xiao Tao gritted her teeth, "I will not let down your support!"

Chu Hanxing shook his head: "If you are worthy, you can do it yourself."

Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with tears, and she was filled with indescribable emotion in her heart. Chu Bai's lazy voice interrupted her emotion.

"Then you're not coming back until the Chinese New Year? We can only eat the food you cooked during the Chinese New Year!"

Xiaotao burst into tears and smiled, remembering that Zhang Fang was looking for a job.

Zhang Fang is an honest person, and after half a month of getting along with her, her character is good.

If she leaves, no one will cook for Master and Chu Bai, but Master can cook by himself.

But cooking is troublesome, and the master is very busy. She wants Zhang Fang to buy food and cook, not to mention the salary, just in case the master doesn't like strangers disturbing her.

Xiaotao was very confused.

Before she could speak, Chu Hanxing said: "Let her come over, there is still a spare bedroom."

Xiao Tao paused, put down her chopsticks, and was about to kneel down to Chu Hanxing. An invisible force helped her stand up.
