Five.

The woman's name was Bai Jie.

Originally living in Beijing, she moved to Luozhuang Town with her mother two years ago, rented a small two-bedroom house, and lived in her husband's 30-year-old house not far from the car repair shop.

It seems that she has never been seen working, but she has never been short of money to spend, so it was once rumored that she was being taken care of, because she could not see the light, so she could only live quietly in such a small place. But it's just a rumor, and Ah Xiu doesn't think it's very credible, because when it comes to support, it seems that no rich man would hide his lover's golden house in such a poor place. No woman who follows a rich man would be willing to condescend to a place where she can't even buy high-end clothes and cosmetics.

But the woman was really pretty, tall and thin, wearing long cotton skirts or cotton pants all day long, with long wavy curls with big eyes and white skin, and if it weren't for the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that slightly revealed her age, at first glance she would look like she was in her early thirties.

But in fact, she is in her forties, lives in that building with her mother, and rarely goes out and rarely has contact with others. Every time she talks to someone, she is always in a hurry, so although she has lived there for two years, let alone Ah Xiu, even the neighbors who live on the same floor as her are not impressed by their mother and daughter, and they don't even know that Bai Jie has a daughter.

So when the news spread that Bai Jie's daughter was crushed to death by a car, the people around were surprised.

But no one dared to visit and comfort her at her home because of this, because this accident made Bai Jie look like crazy. This was the first time they had seen this woman completely different from before, such a crazy and extreme look, her hair was not combed all day long, she didn't change her clothes, she was crying and making a fuss in front of the Li family's store, even if the Li family found the police, they couldn't persuade her to stop.

However, it is understandable that people have become like this, so many people at that time said to Ah Xiu and the Li family father and son, how much to prepare some money, and send compensation to others in a good voice, even if it is not your responsibility, but the car was parked in front of your store at the time, and people died there, more or less inseparable.

But Lao Li was unwilling.

At that time, he retorted to these people very angrily, saying: Why do you say that it is our shop? If it is because the truck affects the driver's vision on the turn and causes the accident, then I will admit it. But the child was obviously run over when the truck reversed and left, and it was the driver's responsibility, so why should we blame the head of our shop and ask us to take the money to make amends?

"So what's the reason, did you find out later?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but interject and ask.

Ah Xiu shook his head: "No." But just like my father just said, when the truck reverses, it will turn on the alarm sound of the reversing reminder, even if it is not turned on, the engine is so loud, for a ten-year-old child should not know what is going on. It was a puppy and a kitten, and when he heard that kind of movement, he would have run away, but the child didn't run away, so there was such a tragedy, it was simply ...... It's like a bolt from the blue. ”

"What did the traffic police say?"

"The traffic police said that there was no monitoring in this area, so no one could explain what was going on at that time. But looking at the scene of the car accident, it really has nothing to do with my store. ”

"Since the traffic police also said so, why do others want you to go to Bai Jie's house to pay money and make amends?"

Ah Xiu smiled bitterly again: "Speaking of which, I really want to live like a ghost, just because she was almost hit by a car in front of our store, so she insisted that her daughter's death must be related to the safety hazards of our store, and the driver who ran over her daughter is just an indirect killing tool in the accident caused by the safety hazards, so the responsibility is all in our store, and our store is the murderer of her daughter." ”

That's how she understood it...... Can't we communicate?"

"Communicate, how to communicate?" After smoking and returning to the house, Lao Li muttered a sentence because of my words while carefully locking the iron door. "Sister, there are too few people who are watching, in fact, because there is no road monitoring, so the driver who caused the accident has not been found to take responsibility, so now she can frame one by one. To put it bluntly, for the money. ”

I don't know if the blow was too deep and I couldn't extricate myself, or if it was really as Lao Li said, in order to pay compensation, Bai Jie stubbornly blamed the Li family for her daughter's death, and hated their family to the core.

Because there was no road monitoring around, the car and the driver who caused the accident have never had any clues, so no matter how the Li family explains it later and the traffic police enlighten it, they can't change Bai Jie's mind. It may be that people have suddenly suffered a great deal of pain, and they must find a breakthrough that can vent this feeling, otherwise they will collapse. Thinking of this, although Lao Li's family was wronged and angry at Bai Jie's accusation, they always swallowed their anger, thinking in their hearts that fortunately, the law was on their side.

But perhaps because of this, Bai Jie became even more angry, so the extreme behaviors she and her mother made later began to feel unbelievable.

At first, she went to the door of the Li family's car shop every day to make trouble.

The cloak is scattered, crying and making trouble, and no one can persuade anyone to come.

After making trouble like this for a week or two, her body may be really unbearable, and she obviously felt that the eyes of the people around her looked at her from the initial sympathy to a kind of banter of watching the excitement, so she changed her way. No longer making a big noise, he painted the word murderer on the door and walls of Li's shop with red paint, and then sat there motionless from morning to night, like a sculpture.

Although this form of noise is quiet and relatively civilized, the effect quickly becomes noticeable over time. The front of the Li family's shop, which was originally not bad, gradually became more and more deserted, because those who knew the inside story were afraid of getting into trouble, and those who didn't know were afraid of seeing it, so they would rather take a long detour and go to other places to repair the car. Moreover, because of Bai Jie's complaint, the local government has strengthened the management of this place, and those larger trucks can no longer be parked indiscriminately, so these customers also left him one by one and chose a regular store with more parking space to repair, although the price is more expensive there.

Seeing this, Lao Li, who had been swallowing his anger out of sympathy for the woman, could only go to the police.

But mediation after the police came also had no effect, and Bai Jie remained the same as always, so she was taken to the detention center and detained for a few days.

After being released, it seemed to be settled down a little, and during that time she silently held her daughter's funeral. At that time, many people went to her house to send wreaths, and Lao Li also bought a large one to send it, but was blocked from her door, so he could only put the wreath at the door of her house, and the next day, Lao Li saw that the wreath had the name of Lao Li's family written on it, and it was placed in the center of the open space in front of the gate of his shop.

"It's okay to write the names of our adults, even a child as young as Nan Nan won't let go, do you say that woman is poisonous?" When Lao Li said this, Ah Xiu couldn't help but say angrily.

Lao Li looked at her and sighed, and continued: "I thought that this would be the way to let her out of her anger at most, and after waiting for a long time, she can always recover a little reason and be reasonable." But who knows, something happened later that made her become Bengali instead, and what she did became quite terrifying. ”
