Chapter 423 Stockholm Syndrome 33
Ning Shu knew that Xia Xiaoman went out to work, and the family of three depended on Xia Xiaoman for food, but Chu Xiaoran did nothing. Not only that, he also drank alcohol and beat people when he was drunk, but Xia Xiaoman still had no regrets.
Ning Shu was completely Spartan, and his outlook on life was refreshed. How much tolerance did Xia Xiaoman have to live such a life, and she still treated Chu Xiaoran as a treasure.
Stockholm syndrome is in the late stage, and there is no hope.
It feels like Xia Xiaoman is the kind of person who can still be happy with Chu Xiaoran even if Chu Xiaoran raped her mother, fucked her father, and even the Chihuahua at home.
Xu Wenlang is good to Xia Xiaoman, good, very good, but Xia Xiaoman can't feel the heartbeat of love. Instead, Chu Xiaoran has been hurting her, but she thinks it is love. This guy's view of love is problematic.
There is not even basic respect and love. What kind of love is this? As long as Chu Xiaoran behaves a little better, Xia Xiaoman will retreat. Xia Xiaoman is in a weak position, and she puts herself in a weak position.
Ning Shu just asked people to continue to pay attention to them, and she didn't intend to care about them at all. She looked down from a high position and watched the two people struggling and suffering for survival at the bottom.
In the plot, they were abused and finally lived happily together, which was supported by money. Now there is no capital to abuse them, and they will only be abused by life.
Ning Shu went to court to sue when she had nothing to do, and she would also take time to walk around, look around, relax, and occasionally listen to the things between Chu Xiaoran and Xia Xiaoman.
It seems that Chu Xiaoran is now addicted to alcohol and gambling. He wants to get rich by gambling. He takes away the money at home every time. That is the milk powder money that Xia Xiaoman worked hard to earn for the children.
Chu Xiaoran, who started to steal money, still felt a little guilty and said to Xia Xiaoman, I will definitely win back a lot of money, I don't want to see you so hard, blah blah blah.
Xia Xiaoman didn't say a word and could only work twice as hard.
Isn't Xia Xiaoman tired?
Very tired, but Xia Xiaoman just wants to have someone to rely on around her, even if it's a little tiring, but if Xia Xiaoman is alone, Xia Xiaoman will definitely not be able to hold on.
Xia Xiaoman is a person who is very afraid of loneliness. She has no independent mentality. Chu Xiaoran is her psychological support. Even if Chu Xiaoran is unbearable now, Xia Xiaoman is afraid that Chu Xiaoran will leave her.
Chu Xiaoran doesn't take care of the family and children. He is addicted to gambling all day long, hoping to win a lot of money by gambling so that he can go back to the past.
Gambling is always a bottomless pit. Throwing a lot of money in may not necessarily win a lot of money back. Chu Xiaoran, who lost money, can only take money from home, and gamble day and night.
The whole person became very irritable and often asked Xia Xiaoman for money. If Xia Xiaoman didn't give it, he would beat Xia Xiaoman like an enemy and yelled why Xia Xiaoman didn't sell it.
Xia Xiaoman was hurt. Chu Xiaoran asked her to sell herself and become a prostitute, which completely hurt Xia Xiaoman. However, she was beaten up by Chu Xiaoran as soon as she objected.
Xia Xiaoman often suffered new injuries before the old ones were healed, but Xia Xiaoman still endured it silently, because if she said a word of opposition, she would be greeted by Chu Xiaoran's storm.
Chu Xiaoran, who was not supported by money and power, became even worse. The former scum had money and good looks to cover up, so it was normal for him to be a little willful.
Now Xia Xiaoman can no longer afford the rent, so she can only move to a small house. It costs two or three hundred yuan a month, but there is only one room, and she eats, drinks, defecates and urinates in the same room.
There are migrant workers who rent houses all around and go out early and come back late.
"Boss, there is a woman named Xia Xiaoman at the door looking for you?" Ning Shu was reading the copy, and the secretary came in and said to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. What did Xia Xiaoman come to her for? Xia Xiaoman had no intersection since Chu Xiaoran went to prison, and it had been almost two years.
Ning Shu walked to the window and saw Xia Xiaoman standing at the door. She was wearing simple and dirt-resistant clothes. Xia Xiaoman was very thin, which made people feel shocking. Ning Shu felt something push her heart, and an inexplicable emotion flowed out. This should be the original owner's emotion.
"Call her in." Ning Shu wanted to ask Xia Xiaoman something.
The secretary brought Xia Xiaoman in. Xia Xiaoman looked a little reserved. When she met Ning Shu's eyes, she quickly lowered her head.
Ning Shu saw that Xia Xiaoman's eyes were dark and blue, obviously because she was beaten by Chu Xiaoran.
"Sit down." Ning Shu said lightly, and Xia Xiaoman sat on the sofa with a little timidity.
Ning Shu asked again: "Would you like something to drink?"
"No, no." Xia Xiaoman waved her hands quickly, looking very flustered.
The cruel life has destroyed Xia Xiaoman into a timid and humble woman.
Ning Shu saw that her hands were very rough and had some small wounds. She wore very cheap flat soft rubber shoes on her feet. Although Xia Xiaoman was simple in the past, she was still very beautiful when she dressed herself up, and she would never fall down her high heels when she went out.
The heavy and huge pressure of life made Xia Xiaoman have no money and no time to sort herself out. When survival became a problem, staying alive was the most important thing.
Ning Shu looked at Xia Xiaoman. Her skin became rough and darker than before, but her lips were pale without any color. She was anemic and malnourished.
There was even a dark air between her eyebrows. Xia Xiaoman's body was seriously overdrawn and she might even die young.
Ning Shu felt very upset. Why didn't a woman know how to love herself more? Why couldn't she leave a man? Xia Xiaoman's various behaviors made Ning Shu hate her very much, but she herself indulged in them.
Seeing Ning Shu staring at her, Xia Xiaoman could only lower her head, pinching the corner of her clothes nervously with her hands, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Ning Shu.
The man was wearing a neat suit and a handsome appearance, which made her look even worse. Xia Xiaoman felt all kinds of feelings in her heart and was extremely impetuous.
"Is it worth it for you?" Ning Shu asked. A woman could abuse herself like this.
Xia Xiaoman raised her head and glanced at Ning Shu, then lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Wenlang, I can't go back."
Because there is no hope, she simply saves her energy and is too lazy to struggle? Just live like this?
Xia Xiaoman is less than 30 years old now, but her face looks almost over 40 years old, dark and thin, and tired all over.
It is a great time for a woman, a time to go shopping and drink coffee with her besties in beautiful high heels.
Xia Xiaoman's miserable life is entirely caused by herself, but perhaps she herself does not think she is so miserable. Being with the man she loves and having a child is a perfect family.
Ning Shu originally wanted to ask Xia Xiaoman on behalf of Xu Wenlang if she regretted it, but it was obviously unnecessary.
