Chapter 62 Xi Hua, Framed
Xi Hua originally planned to quietly return to her room to treat her injuries herself, but she was caught red-handed by her daughter.
Seeing her daughter so angry, she was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain. After all, this was a very embarrassing matter, and she didn't want her daughter to know about such a sordid thing.
Xi Yu suppressed her anger, softened her expression, and pulled her into the room. She quickly fetched an ice towel to apply to her face and then applied ointment to her wounds.
Although Xi Hua is already thirty-eight years old, she is naturally beautiful, with no blemishes on her face and skin as smooth as a twenty-year-old girl.
But now such a beautiful face has such a big red handprint, which has ruined it.
Xi Hua watched anxiously as her daughter ran around treating her injuries. She bit her lower lip, hesitating whether she should explain.
"Mom." Xi Yu half-squatted in front of her, placed her hand on her thigh, and said softly, "We've relied on each other for so many years, but now you have something going on and don't tell me. Am I not a good enough daughter...?"
"No, no! Xiaoyu is Mom's most precious daughter, she's definitely the best! Mom didn't tell you because she didn't want you to worry..." Xi Hua hurriedly explained, her biggest fear being that her daughter would have a knot in her heart.
"Mom, I'm all grown up now. I'm an eighteen-year-old adult now," Xi Yu patiently explained.
She's even married! Xi Yu couldn't help but mutter to herself.
She had been deliberately ignoring the fact that she was married, because the thought of it gave her a headache!
If she knew who her husband was... she would immediately beat him up! Then she would threaten him to divorce her immediately!!
When Xi Hua heard her daughter speak in such a soft voice, she hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind and slowly explained the reasons.
She works as a saleswoman in a shopping mall during the day and as a temporary worker in a factory at night.
The factory owner was a hypocritical man who had long coveted the beautiful Xi Hua and often gave her hints, both openly and secretly.
To make a living, Xi Hua could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and get by, but she was very careful and always accompanied others, trying to avoid being alone with her boss.
But tonight, the boss tricked her into coming to his office and even tried to force himself on her!
Just as she was struggling, the proprietress barged in and slapped her several times without asking why. The frail woman was almost knocked unconscious!
The boss then turned around and falsely accused Xi Hua of seducing him, and fired her on the spot, kicking her out of the factory without paying severance pay or salary.
Poor Xi Hua, a weak woman, had no one to help her and was unable to seek justice. She could only swallow her humiliation and go home.
"Don't be upset, Xiaoyu. It's okay, Mommy is fine. I was just thinking of changing jobs, isn't this perfect? The pay at this factory isn't good, and I've wanted to quit for a long time!" Seeing her daughter's tight little face, Xi Hua quickly comforted her gently.
Xi Yu sighed inwardly. She knew what Xi Hua meant; she simply wanted to settle things peacefully, since they were powerless and had no men in their family.
"Mom, why don't you stay home and rest for now? As for a job, we can look for one later. I'll get good grades and try to get a scholarship to go to university, so you don't have to work so hard to earn money."
She knew that her mother worked so hard to earn money so that she could attend a good university.
Xi Hua touched her daughter's face with relief. As long as her daughter was by her side, she could endure no matter how hard things got.
