Entering the courtyard of Huang Liqin's house, I saw a sturdy middle-aged woman walking out of the room when she heard the sound of someone entering the courtyard door, her appearance was not clear for a while, she only felt that her skin was dark and rough, one of her eyes was blue, and her lips and half of her face were also swollen. When they saw a large group of us coming, they were stunned in the courtyard and didn't know what was going on. At this time, Cheng Jiahui didn't know when he got out of the car and followed us into the yard, and when he saw his mother, he walked over and took his mother's hand, looked at her face, and reached out to turn her sleeve up to look at her arm, Huang Liqin pulled her sleeve down hard, and said, "It's okay, it's okay", and then stroked Cheng Jiahui's arms and shoulders and looked at him carefully, presumably she hadn't seen Cheng Jiahui for a long time, and she already understood what was going on.

The village chief who entered the courtyard together asked loudly, "Where is Zhang Dezhu?" ”

Huang Liqin pointed to the door and whispered, "Inside the house."

The village chief shouted while walking into the house, and heard the village chief in the house scolding: "You fucking got into trouble, you sleep here like no one else, get up quickly." The people from the police station are coming," and then heard a crackling sound.

After a while, a sleepy-eyed man came out with the village chief, and when he saw a large group of people standing in the courtyard, he didn't know what was going on, so he looked at the village chief in front of the door and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The village chief stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Dezhu on the head and said, "What's wrong?" You beat your daughter-in-law like that, and someone from the police station came to arrest you."

"I beat my daughter-in-law, what's the matter with the Public Security Bureau? Who called the police? As he spoke, he looked at Huang Liqin. Seeing Cheng Jiahui standing next to Huang Liqin with his fists clenched and glaring at him angrily, he was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily straightened up and looked at Cheng Jiahui.

Seeing Sha Rui and the two policemen walking towards Zhang Dezhu, I walked up to Cheng Jiahui and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go to the car, we will handle the matter here."

Cheng Jiahui reluctantly let go of Huang Liqin's hand, I pulled him to lead him to the car outside the hospital and let him sit in the car, I stood by the car and did not enter the courtyard again, this is not a case we are in charge of, and my identity is not suitable for me to participate.

After a while, Sha Rui and the women's director came out of the courtyard and walked up to me, and Sha Rui said to me: "Huang Liqin didn't want to report the case, she said that Zhang Dezhu drank too much wine and the two had a quarrel, and the two of them bumped into each other and didn't need to be taken care of by the Public Security Bureau."

I knew that Cheng Jiahui had heard this, I squinted at Cheng Jiahui in the car, and saw that he sat in the car with his head down and did not look up at us, while Li Haoyu stared at us with puzzled eyes, he didn't understand why Cheng Jiahui's mother said this.

I wanted to keep Shari and the women's director away from Cheng Ka-fai from hearing our conversation, but I didn't think it was appropriate, after all, I had said that I would face this matter with him. So I looked at the women's director and asked, "Why is he drinking when everyone else is working in the fields during the day?" Doesn't he work? ”

The women's director is a little daughter-in-law in her thirties, not tall, but she is stocky, and her eyes are very flexible and very smart, because this case is not handled by us, and I don't want irrelevant people to know my relationship with Huang Liqin, so I haven't talked much, but her curiosity about me was revealed from her flexible eyes from the moment we met. At this time, when she saw me talking to her, she quickly replied: "Zhang Dezhu generally does not work in the field, unless he is particularly busy with farm work, most of the time Huang Liqin works in the field, Zhang Dezhu sends Huang Liqin and the people hired to help with the work to the field, and he goes to the village store to play cards and drink."

"I think Huang Liqin, this woman is also honest and capable, why does Zhang Dezhu often beat her, has it always been like this?" I asked, puzzled.

The women's director pouted and smiled: "Zhang Dezhu wants a boy wholeheartedly, but he doesn't have the ability to give birth, so he takes Huang Liqin out of anger." Zhang Dezhu's ex-wife gave birth to two girls in a row, Zhang Dezhu often beat and scolded her, and she had a bad relationship with her parents-in-law, so she couldn't stay in that house anymore, so she divorced Zhang Dezhu, and took away her youngest daughter when she divorced, leaving Zhang Dezhu with an eldest daughter. After Zhang Dezhu married Huang Liqin, Huang Liqin gave birth to a daughter again, according to the policy, he couldn't have another life, and Huang Liqin didn't want to have another life, so he sprinkled all his grievances on Huang Liqin, and often did something to Huang Liqin after drinking a little wine, Huang Liqin didn't want to divorce again, so he always endured it.

I felt very uncomfortable when I heard this, and glanced at Cheng Jiahui sitting in the car again from the corner of my eye, and saw that Cheng Jiahui was still sitting with his head hanging and expressionless.

Sha Rui looked at me with eyes, I know that if the parties don't want to sue for such a case, we can't do it hard, even if the effect is not good, anyway, it is Huang Liqin's family matter, even for Cheng Jiahui, we can't ignore Huang Liqin's thoughts. I said to Sha Rui: "Since you have started to investigate this case, you will collect all the materials according to the requirements of the case, and the injury evaluation will also be done, as for how to deal with it in the end, it still depends on the intention of the party, she is really unwilling to cooperate, and we have no choice, but all the procedures must be completed, I don't know what will happen later, in case of emergency!" ”

Sha Rui nodded, I thought about it and said, "When you finish taking your materials, I will meet Huang Liqin alone."

Sha Rui took Huang Liqin to the village committee office, and I sat her on a chair and poured her a glass of water in front of her. This time, I looked at Huang Liqin up close, although she was injured on her face, she could see that this was a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a good appearance. She looked at me with a wary look, not knowing what I was going to say to her. I think she may have guessed my identity, and I avoided Cheng Jiahui to see her alone, and I also wanted to say something to her alone. I am sure that the formation of Cheng Jiahui's current character has a lot to do with what happened to her, Cheng Jiahui's anger towards his grandfather and grandmother, and his hatred for Cheng Shaojie also stem from her. There's nothing I can do to change that now, but I want to try to avoid this kind of sudden occurrence from now on, especially in the period before the college entrance examination. Cheng Jiahui is a tough person, which can be seen from his attitude towards Cheng Shaojie, once he really does something impulsive, his life will be ruined, which is what I am most worried about.

I asked Zhang Dezhu about the violence he had committed against her in the past, and Huang Liqin had always treated me like a police officer, warily denying it or downplaying it.

This tense and slightly confrontational state made me feel that nothing would come of her and Zhang Dezhu anymore. I was silent for a while, thinking that no matter what reason I married Cheng Shaojie, how good my relationship with Cheng Jiahui is now, she is Cheng Shaojie's ex-wife and Cheng Jiahui's biological mother after all, and I am a little embarrassed with her in terms of identity. And I didn't think that I would be able to resolve these embarrassments at this time, and she may not be able to fully understand what I am saying now, and it will cause misunderstanding to say the opposite. Besides, since I don't want to get too close to Cheng Shaojie's family, and I don't want to be like a sister with her, I'm just taking care of this matter because of Cheng Jiahui. So I took out a notebook from my bag, tore off a piece of paper, wrote my phone number and name, handed it to her and said: "If you have something in the future, you can call me directly, don't call Cheng Jiahui, he is still too young to do things, he cares about you very much, I don't want him to do anything irreparable because of this."

Huang Liqin obviously understood what I meant, and was silent for a while and said: "I didn't call Jiahui today, in the afternoon Jiahui called and said that school was going to start and wanted to come and see me, I was about to go out to work, so I stood in the yard and talked to Jiahui, I didn't notice that Zhang Dezhu drank some wine and came back, he heard that I was talking to Jiahui on the phone, and when he heard my "son" and "son" called Jiahui, he slapped me and scolded in his mouth, 'You have a son?' Take that wild seed to demonstrate to Lao Tzu? Then he started beating me, and before I could hang up the phone, Jiahui probably heard Zhang Dezhu beating and scolding me on the phone." Huang Liqin paused for a while and said: "In the past, I never said anything about Zhang Dezhu beating me in front of Jiahui, but six or seven years ago, he secretly came to see me and saw that I was injured by Zhang Dezhu. Three years ago, when I was hospitalized by Zhang Dezhu, his second aunt took him to the hospital to see me, and I told his second aunt not to tell me about me, I don't know how Jiahui knew about the beatings I was often beaten."

From the conversation with Huang Liqin, it can be seen that this is a very strong woman, and she is also very reasonable, she doesn't want us to deal with Zhang Dezhu because she wants to continue to maintain this family, I can understand her thoughts, no matter how sad her life is, her life will continue. No matter what Cheng Jiahui and I want to do for her, we can only scratch the itch in our boots, and we have no way to live for her.

The bright sun shone on this woman's beaten and deformed face, the bruises and purples made this face more and more poignant, she stubbornly tried her best to close her swollen mouth to make herself look less pitiful and dignified in front of me, but her futile efforts made me look even more sad, and I could understand Cheng Jiahui's resentment and anger towards Cheng Shaojie.

I stroked Huang Liqin's arm and said to her: "If you have anything in the future, you can call me directly, I like Cheng Jiahui very much, and I will try my best to take care of him."

I could see that Huang Liqin was very excited, but her distorted face couldn't express her feelings, and she paused for a while and said: "I know that you are good to Cheng Jiahui, he also told me about you, he said that he also likes you too, thank you for taking care of him so much, Cheng Jiahui is also a poor child." Saliva flowed from the corners of her unclosed mouth as she spoke, and she quickly wiped it with her hand and lowered her head. I tilted my head to the side, not knowing what to say
