Chapter 29
Baishui Town is a big town, so there is a police station in the town.
According to the memories provided by Ding Xiang Lingzhu, Chen Biao's first wife could not bear his domestic violence and once went to the police station to report to the police. Officer Zhao, who took over the case at that time, wanted to help her, but Chen Biao brought her father-in-law and mother-in-law to persuade her, and his wife changed her confession, and the matter was revealed. Later, his wife committed suicide by drinking pesticides. Although the fundamental reason was Chen Biao's domestic violence, because it was not the pesticides that Chen Biao poured on her, the case could not be filed.
This case had a deep blow to Officer Zhao. He felt that if he had given Chen Biao's wife more encouragement at that time, things might not have developed like this. Later, Ding Xiaoli was abused by Chen Biao. After hearing this, Officer Zhao took the initiative to contact Ding Xiaoli. Unfortunately, for similar reasons, Ding Xiaoli and Chen Biao's first wife came to the same fate.
In this era, there were no servants, and Su Li could not afford to hire a personal bodyguard. Law would be her main method of self-protection, so Su Li wanted to get familiar with Officer Zhao first to facilitate future needs.
Su Li was lucky. As soon as she walked to the police station, she saw Officer Zhao leading a bald boy out.
Su Li stood by her nervously, her watery eyes looking at Officer Zhao, who was almost fifty years old.
Officer Zhao once again criticized and taught a lesson to the little bald man who had been locked in a cell for stealing something. He noticed Su Li halfway through the lesson. The white and timid girl looked at her and made people want to protect her. Officer Zhao lowered his voice and waited for the little bald man to leave. Officer Zhao looked at Su Li again.
Su Li smiled at him, then lowered her head, looking like she was afraid to speak.
Officer Zhao came over and asked curiously: "What are you doing in the police station to report the case?"
Su Li shook her head and asked uneasily: "Comrade Police, the town's loudspeaker broadcast was previously announced that men cannot beat their wives and children, and that if they make a fuss, they will still be illegal. Is this true?"
Officer Zhao nodded: "It's true that everyone is equal before the law. Even husbands in ancient times could not beat their wives casually, let alone we are all liberated. Why, you were beaten by your family?"
Su Li pinched the corner of her clothes and said worriedly: "Not yet, I work in a clothing factory. I lost the salary I just paid today. I dare not go home because I am afraid that my parents and brother will beat me."
Officer Zhao has handled many cases, and he also knows the people in the countryside that many girls in many families are pure laborers and have to hand over their money to their families when working.
Officer Zhao comforted Su Li and said, "Don't be afraid. You didn't mean to lose your salary. Go back and search first. If you can't find it home, explain it clearly. If your family is angry and want to hit you, you tell them that it is illegal to beat people randomly. If they don't listen to you coming to me, I will explain it clearly to them for you."
Su Li bowed happily to him as if she had found a backer: "Thank you, comrade police!"
He was helpful and felt relieved. Officer Zhao was also very comfortable. He asked Su Li if she had anything to do. Go back and find a salary if she had nothing to do.
Su Li returned to Ding's house.
There is a shabby black and white TV in the Ding family. Ding Hai is watching it inside, but he didn't hear Su Li come back.
Su Li didn't go to the main house either. When she opened the door of the wing room, Su Li quietly went in, put down the door bolt from inside, and looked around. Su Li hid the 22.50 cents she had just sent today in a pair of patched cotton socks that she would not wear for a short time, and then folded them with other socks and put them together. Such a secret location could be discovered, so Su Li recognized her loss of money.
After hiding his salary, Su Li opened the door bolt, and then lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Wang Haixia would come back from the steel mill at around 2 pm to give Ding Hai the packaged canteen food to her.
When Su Li heard her go in, Ding Hai sued her and Ding Jianjun separately, scolding her daughter for not cooking for him, scolding her son for not be willing to buy food for him, and scolding Wang Haixia for coming here late today, and whether she wanted to starve him to death. In short, he is the only good person in this family, and no one else is sorry for him.
Wang Haixia was already used to men's insults every few days. While Ding Hai was having dinner, Wang Haixia quickly cleaned the room. After she finished her work, Ding Hai finished eating. Wang Haixia cleaned the packed lunch box, so she had to go back to the steel mill to prepare the workers' supper in advance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Haixia came out of the house, she saw her daughter Ding Xiaoli standing in the yard with red eyes and extremely aggrieved.
"Why are you back? Who bullied you?" Wang Haixia asked anxiously.
When Ding Hai heard the movement, he turned off the TV and stroked his legs to see the situation.
Su Li threw herself into Wang Haixia's arms and cried, "Mom, I only paid my salary at noon. I want to get it back to my dad, but when I walked on the road, I might have lost it accidentally when I was rummaging my pockets. I searched for that road several times but couldn't find it."
When Wang Haixia heard that her daughter had lost money, she immediately felt distressed and pulled her to take her over to find her.
Of course, it was a return without success.
Wang Haixia still felt distressed, and she wanted to hit her daughter with a broom bump, but her daughter cried so hard that she couldn't bear to hit her.
Ding Hai was even more angry. He was willing to take action. He grabbed the fire stick in front of the stove and tried to suck it on Su Li.
In terms of force, Su Li is afraid of Wang Haixia and Ding Jianjun, but she is not afraid of Ding Hai, who walks with one leg.
Ding Xiaoli was too honest before, and her parents beat her and she stood there motionless. Su Li moved and circled around Wang Haixia, while running while pretending to cry. Su Li was still running fast, she deliberately ran a few steps away and then slowed down, making Ding Hai feel that he could catch his daughter if he ran faster. When Ding Hai really got closer, Su Li ran again.
Ding Hai cursed and chased after him for a few rounds, angry and aggrieved. He didn't step on it in a hurry, and fell a dog to bite the mud.
Su Li continued to whimper on her mouth, and her eyes gloatly looked at Ding Hai on the ground.
Wang Haixia hurried to help Ding Hai, and Ding Hai stared at Su Li angrily: "Did you want to rebel, do you? Come here, see if I won't beat you to death!"
Su Li was more than ten steps away from him and pretended to rub his eyes: "If you beat me to death, I can't find the money back. It's better to find me a job that makes more money. The clothing factory has a lot of work and is tired. I have already quit."
Ding Hai and Wang Haixia looked at her in disbelief.
Su Li said stubbornly: "I have no future in working in a clothing factory, and my salary is low. I am still young and don't want to stay there all my life."
Ding Hai raised the fire stick and wanted to beat her again. Wang Haixia thought that Aunt Li from the steel factory canteen was going home to take care of her grandson. She said happily: "Okay, Xiaoli can do it if she doesn't go to the clothing factory. Come with me to cook with you. Get thirty yuan a month for cooking. You can earn back what you lost today after working for two months!"
