62: The aunt next door was also abused during the day!
The woman looked to be in her forties.
However, there were some wrinkles around her eyes.
She looked far, far worse than the stunning mature women around Li Zhiyan.
This kind of Aunt Fang was a truly old Aunt Fang, and Li Zhiyan had no interest in her whatsoever.
“Sure enough, I like beautiful mature women, not old Aunt Fangs…”
With a somewhat strange feeling, Li Zhiyan went upstairs.
“Mom.”
“I’m home.”
As soon as he reached the door, Li Zhiyan called out “Mom.”
Aunt Fang usually lived alone, which wasn't very safe. At least calling out “Mom” a few times could make others less reckless.
This point could be said to be very important.
“Son.”
Opening the door and looking at Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya felt an instinctive sense of security.
This feeling was as if the two of them were not pretending to be mother and son, but were truly mother and son.
He closed the door and looked at the simple but warm room.
He felt in his heart that in this life, Aunt Fang was unlikely to follow the old path of suicide.
However, Aunt Fang was truly beautiful, with the gentle temperament of a modest and refined woman. To be reduced to this kind of life overnight from a wealthy family, yet still have no complaints—such a woman was truly wonderful.
“Aunt Fang, long time no see. I didn’t expect your noodle stall to be set up so quickly. Just now, downstairs…”
“I saw your locked stall.”
Fang Zhiya looked at the approximate mealtime, opened the pot, and prepared to cook noodles for Li Zhiyan.
“Yes, this stall basically used up all the remaining money Aunt Fang had, plus the cost of raw materials.”
“But fortunately, business is pretty good now, and I should be able to live a normal life from now on.”
Li Zhiyan also felt a little relieved, but for now, he still had to solve the problem with the collection company and help Aunt Fang get a divorce. These two points were the top priorities.
After all, it concerned his 100,000 yuan bonus.
He was truly a motivated man.
“That’s good, Aunt Fang, my school is about to start.”
“If I want to see you in the future, I might have to wait until I come home on Sundays.”
University Town was not too far from home. As a mama’s boy, he would definitely have to go home on Sundays.
Although he felt very reluctant, life always had to move forward.
Moreover, Su Mengchen was still waiting for him ahead.
This insecure and fragile girl, in this life, he must protect her well.
“Li Zhiyan…”
Hearing that Li Zhiyan was going to college, Fang Zhiya felt a sudden sadness in her heart.
It felt as if she would never be able to see Li Zhiyan again.
“Aunt Fang, don’t be sad. I’m just going to college. I promise I’ll come to see you every Sunday, and we can chat on QQ every day too.”
Fang Zhiya’s heart was deeply moved. This child truly cared about her.
And he had helped her so much.
“Li Zhiyan, you’ve helped Aunt Fang so much, Aunt Fang doesn’t know how to repay you.”
Favors owed only grow. Now Fang Zhiya felt like she didn't know how to repay Li Zhiyan.
Even if she gave Li Zhiyan a lot of money… she still felt she would owe him a lot, let alone that he wouldn't accept it.
“Aunt Fang.”
“Let’s not talk about this between us. If I want you to repay me, I’ll tell you.”
“However, Aunt Fang, right now, if you cook noodles for me, that’ll be repayment enough.”
“I love your noodles the most.”
Opening the pot and looking at the boiling clear water, Fang Zhiya put in the slightly wider noodles she had made.
“Okay.”
“As long as you come, Aunt Fang will cook noodles for you.”
Li Zhiyan sat beside Fang Zhiya and continued to speak to her as she cooked the noodles, “Aunt Fang, the Aunt Fang next door was beaten so badly that night. Did she get a divorce?”
Fang Zhiya never dreamed that Li Zhiyan would bring up this matter while talking.
Domestic violence? That wasn’t domestic violence; it was adding to the population.
But Li Zhiyan was a child and didn't understand these things, which was why he thought it was domestic violence.
And she had no way to explain it to Li Zhiyan.
As she thought about it, Fang Zhiya’s pretty face began to flush.
After that night, she had gone to talk to the elder sister next door.
But she didn't care at all, saying that it was human instinct, that she was giving her a live broadcast for free, so what was there to be dissatisfied with?
All sorts of vulgar words made the gentle Fang Zhiya turn away in shame.
However, this week they hadn't made any noise.
It had been a full 7 days, and there seemed to be no more domestic violence.
Did she listen to her words?
It seemed this elder sister had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and was very considerate of her feelings.
“No, their relationship is very good. There hasn’t been any domestic violence recently. Child, don’t always think so much about these things.”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Li Zhiyan nodded.
“If it were me, I would definitely call the police. That Aunt Fang was beaten too terribly. The sound alone made it seem like she suffered a lot.”
As they chatted, Fang Zhiya’s face grew redder and redder.
“Aunt Fang, why is your face so red?”
Fang Zhiya looked somewhat alluring at this moment, which made Li Zhiyan’s heart flutter. Unfortunately, Aunt Fang’s 36D was still bound.
He couldn't see it now…
“Steamed by the heat.”
“It’s just hotter in this room. It’s like this in the summer. Li Zhiyan, go over there and let the fan blow on you. Aunt Fang sees you’re hot too.”
Li Zhiyan brought the fan over, plugged it into the power strip, and aimed the fan at Fang Zhiya.
“It’s okay, Aunt Fang, I’m young and not afraid of the heat. You use it.”
The fan’s wind blew against her, and Fang Zhiya increasingly felt that she liked this child in front of her.
If only he were her own son…
After a while, the noodles were ready. Fang Zhiya scooped them out and mixed in chili sauce for Li Zhiyan.
“Aunt Fang, I’ve wanted to eat your noodles for a long time.”
“After I finish eating, let’s go set up the stall together.”
Fang Zhiya wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt a little excited. This child wanted to go set up the stall with her.
It truly felt like a mother and son.
Just as Fang Zhiya was about to say something, the familiar sound from next door rang out again.
At this moment, Fang Zhiya realized that the elder sister next door did not have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Perhaps it was just because relatives came to visit, so she was forced to rest for a week.
The timing just matched!
But this time, Li Zhiyan was still here!
How could a child hear such things…
Immediately, her face grew hotter and hotter.
Li Zhiyan asked curiously, “Is the Aunt Fang next door also being domestically abused during the day?”
“That’s just too tragic.”
