Chapter 595: 595 Her Difficulties
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Let’s go to my room. It’s not convenient to apply medicine here,” Tan Ron said. Moreover, she had to disinfect the wounds before applying the medicine. The greenhouse did not have the conditions to disinfect them. It would be too troublesome to move everything here.
Aunt Tao didn’t refuse and left with Tan Rou. After entering the manor, Tan Rou closed the door to prevent anyone from barging in and causing trouble for them.
Tan Rou used the key to open her cabinet. Ever since the incident last time, she had locked all the cabinets and changed the lock on the door.
“Auntie, come over and try this ointment. See if you can accept the smell of it.” Tan Rou opened a small white porcelain urn sealed with wax.
Mrs. Tao sniffed the ointment. There was indeed no smell at all. “Sure.”
She took off her down jacket and lifted her upper body, revealing the crisscrossing scars on her back.
Tan Rou saw this and didn’t say a word for a long time. She held the porcelain urn in a daze, thinking about how Aunt Tao’s injury came about.
“Did I scare you?” Aunt Tao put down her clothes in embarrassment. “Why don’t you give me the ointment? I’ll bring it back and apply it myself.”
“Who injured you? Did that family hit you again?” Tan Rou asked in an unfriendly tone. The family she was referring to was the family of Aunt Tao’s late husband, which was her former in-laws and sister-in-law.
How did Tan Rou know about this? It was because Grandma Tao had mentioned it. Grandma Tao liked to chat with others, especially about her family. She talked about her daughter most of the time.
Grandma Tao said that after Aunt Tao’s husband died, she had been abused by her husband’s family. Aunt Tao’s personality was too weak and she did not dare to resist at all. Moreover, her husband died to save her and it gave her more reasons to keep quiet.
After the Tao family found out about this, they brought Aunt Tao and her son back. Because the Tao family had a high status, her husband’s family did not dare to come over and cause trouble. However, the children had to meet their grandparents, so Aunt Tao would bring the children back to the Jin family every once in a while. Every time she went back, Aunt Tao would be tortured by her husband’s family and she would not say a word about it.
Grandma Tao had noticed it once. She was about to settle the score with the Jin family, but Aunt Tao stopped her.
This time, Tan Rou saw the wounds on her aunt’s body and knew that the Jin family had beaten her again. The wounds were new. It was obvious that he had been injured in the past two days.
“Auntie, take off your clothes. I’ll disinfect and apply medicine for you.” Tan Rou turned on the air conditioner in the room. The room was as hot as a stove when the heater and the air conditioner worked together.
“Just put a simple bandage on it. It doesn’t matter.” Aunt Tao didn’t want to trouble Tan Rou too much.
“No!” Tan Ron’s expression was very serious. “You have to listen to me!”
Aunt Tao had a very weak personality and did not even have the courage to argue with Tan Rou.
Tan Rou was really disappointed. With her aunt’s personality, it was no wonder that she was beaten up by that family. No one would believe that a pampered young lady would be beaten black and blue by her in-laws.
The weather was cold, and wounds would take a longer time to heal. Her wounds would bleed at the slightest touch. Tan Rou didn’t dare to use too much force, so she could only use a disinfectant cotton ball to wipe it bit by bit.
Aunt Tao clenched her fists. “Rourou, it’s okay if you use more strength. 1 can endure it.”
“I can’t stand it.” Tan Rou stared at her wound. “You’re my dear aunt. I’m heartbroken to see you beaten up like this. How could 1 bear to use so much strength?”
Aunt Tao’s nose turned sour and she was about to cry. “Xiao Rou, thank you.”
“I don’t want to hear you thank me. 1 just want you to live a better life. In our family, you’re the little sister who’s doted on. However, when it came to the Jin family, you became their punching bag. I can’t allow this to happen!”
“My husband died to save me, so they should be angry with me.” Aunt Tao said sadly.
“Uncle saved you so that you could live well, not so that you could live to be scolded by them.” Tan Rou said, “1 have to tell my parents about this. Our family will definitely seek justice for you.”
“Forget it.” Aunt Tao wasn’t seeking justice. “I’ll just endure it.”
“If they dare injure you severely this time, they have the guts to kill you too. If you were killed by them, would Uncle’s sacrifice still be meaningful?” Tan Rou asked. “And do you think Grandma won’t be heartbroken when the time comes?”
“I’m sorry!” Aunt Tao replied with a pained expression..
