Chapter 33 Help Li Yongtai settle down

For a while, the big tiger's wooden work was a little deserted, he thought, idle is also idle, it is better to take out the tools, wipe and wipe, the big tiger has a habit, when he focuses on one thing, it is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world, he lowered his head and wiped the tools in his hand, at this time, a black thin, stubble man, walked to his side, he didn't notice it at all, when the man opened his mouth and shouted' Da Hu raised his head and glanced at the visitor, he didn't recognize who the other party was, so the person had to introduce himself, he said, 'I am Li Yongtai, I have just been released from prison'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After hearing this, Dahu got up, walked to the man, and looked at it carefully, yes, the person who came was Li Yongtai, a neighbor who was sentenced to life labor for murder more than 20 years ago, but how much has changed his appearance, what surprised Dahu even more is that Li Yongtai's face is full of stubble, and the smell on his body makes it difficult for him to get close to him, making it difficult for him to match the young man who was still a Peugeot more than 20 years ago.

Dahu let Li Yongtai into the house, he told Lan Zhen to go to the kitchen to get food, he wanted to talk to Li Yongtai while eating, Lan Zhen pulled Dahu outside the house, and asked in a low voice, the origin of this bearded man who was dressed in shabby clothes and smelled bad, Dahu told Lan Zhen that he was the original neighbor, why did he become the way he is today, one or two sentences are not clear, he will slowly tell Lan Zhen when he has time in the future, Lan Zhen did not continue to ask, and went to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Lan Zhen was preparing meals in the kitchen, Dahu took out the clean clothes he was wearing, and gave Li Yongtai a basin of water, asked him to wash and replace it, and shaved off the stubble for him, Li Yongtai, who had been briefly combed, compared with just now, really looked like a different person, just when the two people were chatting, Lan Zhen had already prepared the meal, when she brought the food into the house, and saw Li Yongtai again, she almost didn't recognize it, Dahu asked Lan Zhen to eat with him, Lan Zhen said, you two brothers haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, there must be a lot to say, She still had work to do, so she went out of the house.

After Lan Zhen went out, the two of them chatted while drinking, and Li Yongtai told Dahu that since he was sent to the border quarry because of the murder that year, he began to live as a 'living dead', and every day he went between the world and hell, and most of the people who served labor in the quarry were felons, and the guards treated these people the same way they treated animals.

They quarry a very large amount of stone every day, most of the prisoners, tired and sick, the guards threw these sick prisoners into the wilderness, to fend for themselves, when the prisoners still have breath, wild dogs swarmed up, and they couldn't leave a whole corpse, the reason why he can live to this day is that he is young, and his body is still strong.

There were several times, he was smashed by a rock and injured his leg, so swollen that he couldn't even wear pants, let alone walk the road, in order not to be thrown out by the guards to feed the wild dogs, he found a branch, desharpened, and cut the epidermis of the injured leg, squeezing out the pus, so as to save his life, after liberation, the government took over the quarry, because he performed well in the quarry, and was released early by the government.

When he returned home, he learned that his parents had long since died, the old house had collapsed, and now he had become an old orphan with nothing, and he didn't know how to continue his life in the future.

After listening to Li Yongtai's narration, and then looking at his sad expression, Dahu was uncomfortable, thinking of the scene when he was killed, everyone did whatever it took to save his life, Dahu was deeply touched, yes, Li Yongtai's life was saved, and people came back as they wished, but now, his home is gone, his hope is gone, Dahu feels that he should continue to help Li Yongtai settle down as he did back then, there is a saying that 'help people help home'.

After eating, Dahu took Li Yongtai to the village office and found the cadre Li Ming and his assistant Changyuan, and Dahu explained Li Yongtai's situation to Li Ming, and Li Yongtai also handed over the release certificate from the Public Security Bureau to the cadre Li Ming.

After Li Ming learned that Li Yongtai had been sent to a quarry outside the border for murder before liberation, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and he was thinking that over the years, under the correct leadership of the government and under his leadership, the villagers of Shayu Village were making concerted efforts to carry out the construction of the village, and great changes had taken place in the style and appearance of the village.

Li Ming, who had concerns, did not immediately study the matter of relocating Li Yongtai, but told Li Yongtai that he should go home first and wait for the letter, and that the issue of his resettlement would still have to go through the opinions of the higher-level organization, and he would be notified immediately after the results were available.

Dahu saw Li Ming's worries about Li Yongtai, after Li Yongtai left, Dahu stayed, he presented the beginning and end of Li Yongtai's murder case to Li Ming, through Dahu's narration, Li Ming had a new understanding of Li Yongtai, he said to Dahu, Li Yongtai's placement, he still has to ask the higher level government, after all, he is a person who has been released from prison, but he told Dahu that he will work together with Jin Changyuan to do a good job in his resettlement, he asked Dahu to bring a message to Li Yongtai, the government has reformed personnel, Enjoy the same treatment as the villagers, so that he does not have ideological baggage.

Li Yongtai's current home is a few houses that are about to collapse, and there are no people living in them at all, because at the time of the land reform, his parents have died, and his sister has also married, so Li Yongtai's land has been distributed to the villagers with less land in accordance with the policy.

Faced with Li Yongtai's situation, when he returned home, Dahu began to discuss with Lan Zhen how to help Li Yongtai through the current difficulties, Dahu's meaning was very clear, before the village cadres did not settle Li Yongtai, temporarily let Li Yongtai eat and live in his house, this is based on Dahu's understanding and trust in Li Yongtai, and Lan Zhen is the first time to see Li Yongtai, lack of understanding of his past, including his character, trust can not be established, in her cognition, all murderers, are heinous demons, although Dahu told her, She still couldn't accept the secret behind Li Yongtai's murder for a while, but she also said that it was okay for him to eat, but not to live.

In order to let Lan Zhen slowly accept Li Yongtai, Dahu agreed to Lan Zhen.

It was also time for dinner, Dahu arrived at Li Yongtai's 'home', only to see Li Yongtai sitting in the corner of his own wall, with a thick layer of wild grass under his buttocks, and was sitting there in a daze, Dahu beckoned Li Yongtai to go to the house for dinner, Li Yongtai refused, he said that he had disturbed the life of Dahu's family very much, and under Dahu's repeated insistence, Li Yongtai followed Dahu home.

At the dinner table, Lan Zhen never said a word to Li Yongtai, although the big tiger kept playing round, it did not arouse Lan Zhen's enthusiasm, Li Yongtai is not a child, he has long seen the attitude of his younger siblings, he does not blame his younger siblings at all, he only hates himself for disturbing other people's lives, he hastily finished eating, and returned to his 'home'.

Dahu was worried that because of Lan Zhen's unaccepting attitude, Li Yongtai would have a strong inferiority complex and lose confidence in his future life, so he decided to sit down with Lan Zhen and have a good talk, he said to Lan Zhen:

"Lan Zhen, I told you that after Li Yongtai's accident back then, the whole village vouched for him, and Mr. Zhang also went around for him, begging people everywhere, do you know why? It is because Li Yongtai is an honest person, it was the events of the year that forced him to that job, he did something illegal, if he is a bastard on weekdays, then all of us are sick, and rushed to the county seat overnight to cry out for him, begging the director to keep people under the knife, Lan Zhen, now is the most difficult time for Li Yongtai, we help him, and he will have hope for life. ”

"I understand that, but..."

"But what, you have to be a person and do things with your heart, I remember that year I came back as a laborer, brought back two North Koreans, the family was short of food, once eating became a problem, after Li Yongtai's parents knew, they left Li Yongtai left the crops, unconditionally let our family use, helped our family through the difficulties, now his parents have passed away, the home is gone, the land is gone, we can watch him, huddled in those few broken houses, can't eat, can't drink, can you bear it?" Big Tiger said.

"And this? Why didn't you say it earlier? It seems that I am an unreasonable daughter-in-law, so don't be stunned, hurry up and vacate our small west house with miscellaneous items and let Li Yongtai live. Lan Zhen said.

"I'll just say, my daughter-in-law is the most reasonable person." Big Tiger said.

In order to let Li Yongtai move into the house without any worries, Lan Zhen also followed Dahu to call Li Yongtai, Lan Zhen deliberately hid behind Dahu, so that Li Yongtai could not see, Dahu told Li Yongtai that before the village cadres did not settle him, he wanted him to live in his own house, Li Yongtai told Dahu that he received his mind, and he was really embarrassed to make trouble again, Dahu jokingly said to Li Yongtai:

"I told you, if you don't go, then I'll go home and let your brother and sister come to invite you in person." After speaking, Dahu deliberately turned around to leave.

"Don't, don't, I just don't want to burden my younger siblings." Li Yongtai said.

"Who said they were afraid of burdening me?" Lan Zhen suddenly poked her head out from behind the big tiger and said.

"Oh, you're both here, what do you want me to say?" Lee Yong-tae was excited.

"Don't say anything, come home with us." Dahu said, Li Yongtai dragged it up.

Li Ming and Changyuan have different opinions on the resettlement of Li Yongtai, Li Ming believes that Li Yongtai's housing problem should be solved first, and Jin Changyuan believes that Li Yongtai's land problem should be solved first, one is to live, the other is to eat, and the two people have their own reasons, at this time, Li Ming learned that Dahu temporarily placed Li Yongtai in his own home, he couldn't sit still, Dahu is just an ordinary villager, and he can still actively find a way to solve Li Yongtai's food and housing problem. And he is a village cadre, but he is still here for food and housing, arguing with Jin Changyuan.

So, Li Ming found Dahu, and when talking about solving the problem of Li Yongtai's food and housing, Li Ming said that he wanted Li Yongtai to temporarily live in the village treasury, and then take out a part of the public grain in the village to solve the problem of Li Yongtai's food.

When it comes to the problem of housing, Dahu believes that the warehouse arranged in the village is not a long-term solution after all, he has his own housing base, but it is in disrepair and cannot be inhabited, if he is allowed, he can organize the people in the village to repair Li Yongtai's house as soon as possible, and he also has his own home.

When talking about the issue of distributing Li Yongtai's land, Li Ming told Dahu that his family's original land had already been distributed to the villagers during the land reform, and it was impossible to redistribute it.

Li Ming patted the big tiger on the shoulder and said:

"Our village just counts your brains and ideas, and it's a pity not to be a village cadre."

Li Ming wrote down Dahu's suggestion into written materials and submitted it to the leaders, who quickly approved it, but he particularly emphasized that the number of acres of land newly reclaimed by Li Yongtai must not exceed the standard for the distribution of land by the same labor force; in addition, after Li Yongtai is resettled, the village cadres should supervise and transform him, and the transformation plan should be submitted as soon as possible.

Li Ming also handed over the work of transforming Li Yongtai to Jin Changyuan, that is to say, now there are two transformation objects in Shayu Village, which need to be managed by Jin Changyuan, one is Li Yonggen and the other is Li Yongtai.

Li Ming handed over the matter of repairing Li Yongtai's house to Dahu, and Li Ming also took out a few young and strong people from the villagers to work with Dahu, and at the same time, Li Yongtai carried the dry food and water prepared by Lan Zhen for him every day before dawn, and went to the north mountain to reclaim wasteland, and only called it a day after dark.

A month has passed, Li Yongtai has moved into a new house, he has planted drought-tolerant corn and sorghum in the newly cultivated land, facing the new life, Li Yongtai said excitedly:

"I really didn't expect that people like me who have been in prison can still get the meticulous care of the villagers, not only do not dislike me, but also do so many things for me, I really don't know how to express my gratitude, simply I am here to express my attitude, from now on, I will definitely be a good reform, a new person, report my thoughts on time, please leaders and villagers to see my actions!" Li Yongtai knelt down with a 'poof' after speaking.

Dahu pulled up Li Yongtai and told him that from now on, he must rely on his own hands to live a personal life, so as to be worthy of the fathers and villagers who signed and painted for him back then, and to be worthy of so many people who have paid for him, Li Yongtai kept nodding with tears in his eyes.

Aunt Han, who lives not far from Li Yongtai's house, died of her husband in the early years, leaving a daughter Xing'er, who has already married to another village, Aunt Han herself planted two acres of land, almost sixty years old, a little powerless, Li Yongtai often came to help Aunt Han work, carrying water and chopping firewood have become commonplace, Aunt Han has a headache and brain fever, and he came to take care of it.

Aunt Han's daughter occasionally went home to visit her mother, but she didn't stay long, that day, Aunt Han's daughter Xing'er came back again, as soon as she entered the door, she lay in her mother's arms and cried, under her mother's repeated questioning, Xing'er said her husband, after drinking, she was violent, the mother lifted her daughter's clothes and looked, she was extremely surprised, there were few good places in her daughter's body, the old wound had been knotted, the new injury was still oozing blood, and the mother was distressed and hugged her daughter and cried together.

Speaking of her daughter's marriage, it was her mother's master, and her daughter did not agree to marry this man at that time, the reason was that on the day of the blind date, the man drank a lot of wine, looked at her with straight eyes, and was so frightened that she hid behind the matchmaker, but the mother said that the man's family background is good, in addition to drinking, people are still a responsible person, and the daughter herself has no opinions, and she can't withstand the persuasion of her mother, so she hastily agreed to this family business.

People say that 'candle night in the cave room' is one of the four fortunate things in life, but Xing'er's wedding night is a nightmare night.

The man was drunk, the guests attending the wedding were gone, he was still drinking alone, not only did he drink, but he also wanted Xing'er to accompany him to drink, Xing'er had not touched a drop of wine at home, where could she drink liquor, she refused to drink, the man put her head on the table hard, and poured wine directly into her mouth, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law persuaded to no avail, in that case, Xing'er had to be drunk and ran back to the new house, and plugged in the door.

The man began to bang on the door non-stop, so frightened that she went straight to the closet, and finally her in-laws came forward and let Xing'er open the door, the man entered the house, and the wine was strong, she forcibly took off Xing'er's clothes, and pulled out the waistband of her trousers, and pumped it towards Xing'er, Xing'er was beaten and dizzy, and the in-laws next door heard the sound and entered the house, so she pulled her son away.

When she was beaten, Xing'er didn't feel too much pain, that's because she was poured too much wine and couldn't feel it, and after the strength of the wine passed, Xing'er couldn't move because of the pain, but her husband didn't care about that, he wanted to do that, and he completely ignored Xing'er's body, and Xing'er lost confidence in her husband.

Afterwards, Xing'er knew that the man was an alcoholic, he was a household name in their village, he couldn't eat for a day, and he couldn't live without wine for half a day, his parents were addicted to their son's drinking, and there was no way, Xing'er resented herself, and married him in a daze without understanding the man clearly, Xing'er didn't know, how to live in the future, she wanted to tell her mother about the man, but when she thought that her mother was alone, there was no one to take care of her, if she was worried about her own affairs, in case something happened again, She doesn't even have a dearest person in the world, so Xing'er doesn't dare to tell her mother about men.

The mother didn't know what kind of life her daughter was living in her mother-in-law's house, and said in front of the villagers that her daughter had married a good man, and she was relieved to close her eyes.

One night in late autumn, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the husband had not come back from drinking outside, the apricot lay down and slept, the husband came home at about one o'clock, entered the door, he walked to the bed, looked at the sleeping apricot who was fragrant, and the anger came up, he took the apricot out of the bed, and said in his mouth:

"Your master hasn't come home yet, you girl went to sleep first, don't you know how to serve your master? Go and pour me a glass of water, I'm thirsty. ”

"The water is placed on the table, and when you are thirsty, you don't pour it yourself." Apricot said with a daze.

"You still dare to talk to the master, I think you are looking for a fight again, you really don't fight for three days, go to the house to expose the tiles." As the husband spoke, he casually threw Xing'er a big mouth.

Xing'er cried aggrievedly, and her husband saw this and pushed her out of the house, and his mouth was not idle:

"Today, I asked you to stand outside, I won't speak, and you are not allowed to enter the house."

Xing'er only wore thin underwear, in the late autumn night, she was standing outside the door again, she was shivering with cold, she wanted to knock on the door of her mother-in-law's house, but she was afraid that her husband would hear and not do it, so she had to grit her teeth and persist until the next morning, her mother-in-law got up early and found that her daughter-in-law had fallen to the ground, they called open the door of her son's house, and Xing'er went back to the house.

Things like this happened to Apricot too many times, so much so that later, Apricot was a little numb.

Why did she take the initiative to tell her mother this time, it was because her patience had reached the limit, she was worried that one day, she couldn't bear to find a short-sighted, her mother didn't know the reason, after listening to her daughter's crying, her mother decided to make decisions for her daughter, and asked her daughter to leave the man, and she also told her daughter that she would stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life, and she would not let her daughter continue to be tortured by her husband.

The mother took her daughter to her mother-in-law's house, and saw the son-in-law who was addicted to alcohol, the mother said that she had something to say when she came to her mother-in-law's house this time, and her daughter could no longer endure the unprovoked beating and scolding of men, she wanted to make the decision for her daughter, and she wanted to bring her daughter home, and the mother-in-law hurriedly dissuaded her, and hoped that her in-laws would give her son a chance, and the mother took off her daughter's clothes in front of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law also saw the scars on Xing'er's body, but for the sake of her son, she still tried her best to persuade her daughter-in-law to stay at her mother-in-law's house.

At this time, the nature of the apricot man was exposed again, he went into the house and picked up a knife, pointed at the apricot and the two and said:

"I see who dares to take Xing'er away, I'll kill whomever I want, if you don't believe it, let's see."

I didn't expect the son-in-law to threaten the two of them with a knife, Xing'er's mother was a little stupid, and the mother-in-law hurriedly persuaded her son to put down the knife in her hand and have something to say, but the son didn't listen at all, and in the end, it was the elders of the clan who came forward to temporarily calm down the turmoil.

The daughter stayed at her mother-in-law's house, and the mother returned home alone.

Aunt Han, who returned home, was worried about her daughter all day long, couldn't eat or sleep, and soon fell ill, Li Yongtai took time to take care of Aunt Han, and Aunt Han talked about the trouble she and her daughter encountered in the chat with Li Yongtai.

Li Yongtai found Dahu and told what happened to Aunt Han's daughter, Dahu said that if the situation is really as Aunt Han said, Xing'er is in her husband's house, and she will be in danger at any time, he told Li Yongtai to go to Xing'er's mother-in-law's house first, tell Xing'er's mother that she is sick, and ask her to go home to take care of her for a few days, listen to Xing'er's plans for her future life, and then decide how to help the couple, Li Yongtai went to Xing'er's mother-in-law's house according to Dahu's words.

When he rushed to Xing'er's mother-in-law's house, Xing'er's husband went out for a drink, and he told Xing'er's mother-in-law that Xing'er's mother was sick and needed her daughter to go back to take care of her for a few days.

On the way home, Xing'er said to Li Yongtai:

"I am so grateful to hear my mother say that you have been taking care of her when I am not at home."

"When I say this, I see that they are all living in the neighborhood, and they should be taken care of." Li Yongtai said.

"Big brother, you're very good, why don't you have a family?" Apricot asked.

"I'm this age, and I've been released from prison, who wants to marry someone like me, I don't want to, now that I'm living like this, I'm very content, I can eat and dress warmly, and I can't ask for too much." Li Yongtai said.

"It's not wrong to think like this, but don't be like me, just find someone to marry, and make it too boring to live without people and ghosts." Apricot said.

"You also have to think about it, if you can get by, you can be together, if you can't get by, you will be separated, don't wronged yourself." Li Yongtai said.

The two of them chatted and chatted, and they arrived at Shayu Village, just walked to the entrance of the village, and met the 'little fast mouth', the 'little fast mouth' was like finding a gold bar, and the excitement could not be self-controlled, during this time, she was very lonely, because there was no news to dig in the village, today I accidentally met Xing'er and Li Yongtai, providing a topic for her to go to the east and west, she chased Xing'er and asked, how could she be with Li Yongtai, Xing'er knows the human nature of 'Xiao Kuaizui' too well, and said casually, I met on the road,' Xiao Kuaizui listened to Xing'er's answer, the corners of his mouth reached the root of his ears, and he snorted at the backs of the two people.

After Xing'er entered the house, she saw her sick mother, she lay on her mother and cried, her mother looked at the work of only a few days, her daughter who had lost a lot of weight, also began to cry, seeing this scene, Li Yongtai walked out of the house, picked up the bucket and the flat pole, and went to the well to fetch water, and when Li Yongtai brought the water back, he saw Xing'er was going down to the kitchen to cook for his mother, and his mother asked Li Yongtai to stay at home to eat, Li Yongtai refused, and went home alone.

Xing'er stayed at home to take care of her mother, and her mother asked her daughter what her plans were when she came back this time, and her daughter told her mother that she was not going to go back to her mother-in-law's house, and after a while, when her mother's illness was cured, she was ready to file for divorce from her husband, and her mother said that she supported her daughter's decision.

Just when Xing'er stayed at home for a week, Xing'er's husband, with a full body of wine, came to Shayu Village, his purpose was very clear, that is, to bring Xing'er home, at the entrance of the village, he met the 'little fast mouth' who had nothing to do, 'Little Kuaizui' saw that Xing'er's husband was coming, this is a topic to talk about, so, she asked Xing'er's husband:

"You're here looking for Apricot, aren't you?"

"Nonsense, she's my wife, I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for you." Apricot's husband said.

"Whose wife is not necessarily that, people may not be willing to go with you." 'Little Quick Mouth' said.

"You make it clear, what is the name of whose wife is not necessarily that?"

Xing'er's husband had already drunk wine, and when he heard 'Little Kuaizui' say this, his wine also woke up a lot, he stared at his red bloodshot eyes, and pushed 'Little Kuaizui' to the wall, Xing'er's husband forced 'Little Kuaizui' to tell the truth, she was half frightened to death by this sudden move, and she had no interest in pulling his wife's tongue at all, and wanted to run away quickly, but Xing'er's husband's hand suddenly choked her neck, she instinctively shouted for help, her husband heard the shout, ran out of the house, and saw the scene of his daughter-in-law being pinched.

The husband of the 'little fast mouth' stepped forward to try to pull the man away, but because the man's strength was too great, it didn't work, and in desperation, he began to call the people in the village for help. Xiao Kuaizui's explanation, otherwise, he would still make trouble.

The matter is upside down, the two of them want to get out quickly, her husband Han Qisheng told the "little fast mouth", and quickly said that he knew, "little fast mouth" said, in fact, it was nothing, that day she met Xing'er and Li Yongtai walking together, and as soon as the words of "little fast mouth" fell, Xing'er's husband set aside the villagers who were watching the excitement, and ran to Xing'er's house like a madman.

Xing'er was cleaning up in the yard, and when she saw her husband running in like a madman, she had a premonition that things were not good, so she hurried into the house, and just wanted to plug the door, her husband rushed into the house, he grabbed Xing'er's braids, and slammed his head against the wall, and after a few hits, Xing'er's head was broken, and blood flowed down her face to her neck, and her mother shouted. Help', Li Yongtai was the first to rush to Xing'er's house, in order to rescue Xing'er as soon as possible, Li Yongtai and Xing'er's husband wrestled, and soon, Dahu and Lan Zhen also arrived, and everyone worked together to finally press him to the ground.

Lan Zhen was at Xing'er's house, found a strip of cloth, bandaged the wound on her head, and asked the neighbors to invite Langzhong in the village.

Although Apricot's husband's body was pressed to the ground, his mouth was not idle, and he began to shout loudly:

"No wonder I didn't want to go back as soon as I returned to my parents' house, it turned out that there was a wild man, and that wild man was called Li Yongtai."

"Don't be crazy about drinking here, I don't go home because of you, I beat people every time I drink, but any woman can't live with you." Apricot retorted.

"You are determined in this red mouth and white teeth, Xing'er has another man, what evidence do you have, if not, you are pouring dirty water on Xing'er, and Xing'er has the right to seek justice." The big tiger asked.

"Do you still need proof? The people in your village have just confirmed that they saw the two of them together, without wind and waves, if she didn't do it, why did people say about her? Apricot's husband said.

"In my opinion, this matter you said is related to the reputation of Xing'er and Li Yongtai, this is not a joke, we can't solve this matter personally, it must be handled by the officials, let's go to the village office and let the cadre Li Ming preside over justice, do you think it's okay?" Big Tiger said.

Dahu thought that Xing'er's husband would object, but unexpectedly, he also agreed, he thought that with the villagers' 'little fast mouth' to testify, even if he went to the village cadres, he would not lose.

Dahu took them to Li Ming, after sitting down, Li Ming asked Xing'er and her husband to explain the ins and outs of the matter, Xing'er's narration, so that Li Ming heard the crux of the two of them, but, because her husband insisted that the daughter-in-law had an improper relationship with Li Yongtai, which caused problems in the marriage of the two, the two people's narratives were very different, in order to verify the truth of the facts, Li Ming asked the 'little fast mouth' two to call the two to the office.

'Little Kuaizui' told him about seeing Xing'er and Li Yongtai go back to the village together that day, and Li Ming asked 'Little Kuaizui', in addition to seeing the two of them go back to the village together, what else did they see? 'Little Kuaizui' said, I didn't see anything else, Li Ming sternly questioned 'Little Kuaizui', just because you saw two people walking together, you decided that Xing'er and Li Yongtai had an improper relationship, to put it lightly, you are telling right and wrong, saying that it is serious, you are slandering, if people sue you, you will have to eat a lawsuit.

After Li Ming's words were finished, Dahu testified for Li Yongtai and Xing'er, he said that Li Yongtai told him that day that Xing'er's mother was sick and wanted her daughter to go home to take care of her for a few days, or he asked Li Yongtai to go to Xing'er's mother-in-law's house to pick it up, 'Xiao Kuaizui' saw them go back to the village together, it was not strange at all, as for what 'Xiao Kuaizui' said, the two people had an improper relationship, it was purely her own trouble, made up.

In the face of the facts, the 'little fast mouth' couldn't quibble, the two of them hid in the middle of the house, and Xing'er's husband listened. Xiao Kuaizui's rhetoric is also like a deflated ball, deflated, and then, Xing'er said to Li Ming that she wants to divorce her husband, and she doesn't know how to go through the procedures, as soon as she heard her daughter-in-law mention divorce, her husband, who just lowered his head, began to be furious again, he said, he swore to die in this marriage, if Xing'er insisted on leaving, then he would go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, Li Ming sternly warned him that the basis of marriage is feelings, if the relationship has indeed broken down, the court will support Xing'er's divorce request, not to mention, until now, he is still threatening Xing'er.

Xing'er shed tears, pulled up her trouser legs, revealing the wounds that her husband beat with the soles of his shoes and sticks, some of them were scabbed, and some were still oozing blood, seeing the wounds on Xing'er's legs, everyone present sighed, and Li Ming was even more angry and questioned Xing'er's man:

"You hit it? It's illegal for you to do this, and if you don't make a deep reflection on your behavior, I support Xing'er to divorce you. ”

"Xing'er is my wife, how I treat her and her, that's my housework, and outsiders can't ask about it." Apricot's husband said.

"You are talking about the old society, now it is the new society, men and women are equal, even if it is a husband, it is a crime to beat and scold a daughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law wants to divorce you, that is her right." Li Ming retorted.

Li Ming told Xing'er and her husband that they are both adults and should be responsible for their own choices, and now the government advocates freedom of marriage, including freedom of divorce, but the premise is that the relationship between the two people has indeed broken down, I suggest that the two of you go home and calm down for a while, and make a decision carefully, Xing'er agreed, but her husband still refused to accept it.

Before leaving, Li Ming pulled the big tiger aside and whispered:

"You also heard what Xing'er's husband said just now, I'm worried about Xing'er's safety, during this time, you have to worry more about protecting the safety of Xing'er and her mother, and if there is anything abnormal, look for me immediately."

"Don't worry." Big Tiger said.

Since that day, Dahu and Lan Zhen often take care of Xing'er's family, Xing'er's husband at the beginning, and came to make trouble a few times, but was blocked by Dahu's family, and then he didn't come, Xing'er told Dahu that she and her husband's affairs, don't want to continue to drag on, she has already thought clearly, she wants to divorce her husband, but she is worried that her husband will be violent to her when going through the formalities, Dahu quickly told Li Ming what she was worried about, Li Ming in order to prevent Xing'er's husband from doing it, the day of the formalities, Let Dahu and Changyuan accompany Xing'er to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Sure enough, Xing'er's husband jumped over the wall in a hurry, pinned a knife to his waist, and stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau angrily, threatening to kill Xing'er, Dahu quickly reported the situation to the leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau hurriedly called the police, and after a while, the police came, subdued Xing'er's husband, and found a knife on him, despite the twists and turns, but in the end, Xing'er and her husband still went through the divorce procedures.

Xing'er, who has gone through the divorce procedures, feels like she has lived again, she carefully takes care of her mother at home, with her care, her mother's health is slowly getting better, her mother is worried, in case she leaves one day, leaving the lonely Xing'er without anyone to take care of, she has an idea, she wants to give her daughter to Li Yongtai, Xing'er didn't say anything here, it was tacit, but when she brought Li Yongtai and said her thoughts, she was rejected by Li Yongtai, Li Yongtai said to her, people are terrible, if he and Xing'er are really good, The rumor of 'Little Quick Mouth' became true, he was thinking about Xing'er, he just escaped from the tiger's den, and was drowned by human words, Xing'er shouldn't be hurt, and she can't afford to be hurt.

Although Xing'er's mother understood Li Yongtai's thoughts, she still didn't give up, she found Dahu again, and asked Dahu to do work for Li Yongtai, Dahu also looked for Li Yongtai for this, but Li Yongtai was resolute, he said to Dahu, he is a prisoner released from prison, and now he is still reforming, if Xing'er follows him, not only ' Xiao Kuaizui's words can no longer be said clearly, and he has to carry the reputation of his husband as the object of transformation, he is already a person of this age, he is not willing to take a hard life for his own happiness, he also thinks about it, and he will live alone in this life.

Dahu expressed respect for Li Yongtai's idea, and truthfully conveyed it to Xing'er's mother, and she also expressed her understanding.

Later, it was Lan Zhen who came forward and introduced a distant cousin of her mother's family who lost her daughter-in-law to Xing'er, after the two met, they fell in love, because the cousin's parents died a few years ago, the cousin said that he would take care of Xing'er and his mother for a lifetime, go to his house or come to Shayu Village to live, he respected Xing'er's choice, Xing'er was reluctant to leave Shayu Village, reluctant to leave such a good fellow villager, she discussed with Lan Zhen's cousin, or came to Shayu Village to take root and live.

Li Yongtai saw that Xing'er had a happy home, and congratulated her from the bottom of his heart.
