After Zhu Zihu said these words, he said that he had other tasks and left in a hurry, leaving Chen Yang and Teacher Zhou looking at each other.
At this time, the stamina of Li Dahua's wine came back, and he actually sat on the ground and fell asleep with his head hanging down. His hairless head shone brightly under the light, making people feel sick to their stomachs.
Everyone looked at the balding man with disgust. Hu Xinzhou had already regained her composure. She first comforted her crying siblings, then opened the door and comforted her mother. Then she went to find a broom and dustpan to clean up the messy living room.<
/p>
Teacher Zhou and Chen Yang watched silently at first, but Hu Xinzhou's calmness and skill in handling the aftermath made their hearts clench. How common is such a chaotic and dangerous scene in this family?
Teacher Zhou walked towards Hu Xinzhou with a loving and reproachful tone:
"How can you sweep the floor with these hands? The teacher will take you to the hospital for a checkup. Come on, go check it out right away."
Hu Xinzhou lowered his head and neither spoke nor moved his feet.
"Xinzhou, you have to believe the teacher! Teacher Chen Yang and I didn't know the situation of your family in detail before. Now, we probably know it, and we will definitely not stand idly by."
Teacher Zhou said gently but firmly.
"Yes, Xinzhou, if anything happens to you in the future, Teacher Zhou and I will help you. You have to trust us. Go to the hospital right now. My car is downstairs. I'll start the car first."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs without waiting for a reply.
"Let's go, Xinzhou!" Teacher Zhou gently held Xinzhou's shoulders. Seeing that Hu Xinzhou didn't resist, he hugged her tighter.
"Teacher, I have no money." Hu Xinzhou's voice was trembling.
Teacher Zhou was stunned and said with a smile: "Don't be stupid, there is a teacher here."
Teacher Zhou turned around and said warmly to Xincheng:
"We are your sister's teachers. Now your sister is injured. We will take her to the hospital for bandage. You and your brother will be obedient."
Her sincere big eyes stared greedily at the gentle and beautiful female teacher with long hair hanging down her shoulders. She nodded heavily, pointed to the messy dining table, and added:
"Okay, teacher, I have to wash the dishes. My sister injured her hand and can't wash the dishes today."
Teacher Zhou looked at the little girl who was less than one meter tall in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad. He bent down and touched Xincheng's head:
"So good!"
When Teacher Zhou raised his head, he saw Mother Hu standing in the middle of the door, looking at them. Her eyes were blank. Teacher Zhou didn't say anything, just nodded to her.
In silence all the way, Chen Yang drove to the hospital and went to the emergency room. The doctor debrided the wound and applied medicine for tetanus. When the doctor used tweezers to pick up the broken glass embedded in the flesh, Teacher Zhou felt pain when he saw it, but Hu Xinzhou didn't say a word.
.
After bandaging, the doctor prescribed some medicine and said it was nothing serious. He applied red liquid for disinfection twice a day and couldn't touch water for three days. It was basically fine.
On the way back, Chen Yang couldn't help but say:
"Xinzhou, you should have told us about your family's situation. Also, your stepfather is such a bastard. You should seek help from relatives and friends, report the situation to the neighborhood committee, and the Women's Federation. That person is such a bastard, and you are a middle school student.
How can you bear it?"
"I've tried everything, but it doesn't work. As you can see, teacher, calling the police is useless. In housework, others can intervene for a while at most, and then nothing changes."
Hu Xinzhou sat leaning against the car door, looking at the brightly lit building outside the car window, and replied to the class teacher in a calm tone. There was no resentment, no complaints, and no excessive sadness.
Zhou Yiyun felt that Hu Xinzhou had returned to alertness and defense after going through the previous emotional ups and downs. Nothing Hu Xinzhou said would change, and maybe he was also talking about her and Chen Yang.
Perhaps in Hu Xinzhou's view, these spur-of-the-moment kindnesses could not solve her problems. After tasting the bitterness of the world, she chose to carry it all by herself instead of coveting those short-lived whims of tenderness.
