Chapter 55: Antecedents and Consequences
Returning to school from Qi Jing's house, Huaying's heart was mixed, no matter what.
What the hell is she going to do? Qi Jing is her student, she naturally wants her to be good, but they are committing crimes now! Can she ignore it? What's more, Qi Jing still has feelings for this child, right? Otherwise, why would you be so excited to hear the news of your child?
Huaying called Xue Bin and told him in detail about the different attitudes of Qi Jing and her mother during the home visit.
Flower Shadow asked, "Should I call the police?" β
Xue Bin said: "If it is really her child, and she really wants to abandon the child, she must call the police, which is a civic responsibility." β
"What if it wasn't intentional?"
"The law will consider it at its discretion!"
As he was talking, the door of the Flower Shadow dormitory slammed and was kicked open from the outside.
Flower Shadow's heart shook violently, and the phone almost fell out of her hand.
Outside the door were two men. A farmer in his forties, tall and large, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a dark complexion, and wrinkles clearly visible. The other is a young man of about 20 years old, with a slightly thin body, a fair face, good facial features, and a little youthful immaturity between his eyebrows. The similarity is that they are all angry and fierce on their faces, as if they have a deep hatred with Flower Shadow. As soon as they entered, they smashed and slammed into a corner, forcing Hana-ying into a corner against the wall.
"Who are you?" Flower Shadow asked loudly with courage.
Xue Bin on the other end of the phone also felt unusual, and he was shouting Huaying: "What's wrong?" What happened? β
The older man said in a vicious voice, "Who am I?" I'm Qi Jing's father, I warn you, don't be nosy, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite! As he spoke, he smashed the desk where Kakage's homework was being done with a punch, and the homework books were scattered all over the floor.
"Are you...... Qi Jing's father? It's illegal for you to trespass on people's houses like this! β
"Don't talk to me about any laws! It's a big deal, everyone will die together! My daughter's business, you'd better rot in your stomach, otherwise, I'll let you bury her! β
"Don't get excited, you have something to say." Hanakage tried to calm herself down and tried her best to calm his emotions, "There is a better solution to the matter, and it may not be as bad as you think, you have to trust me!" β
"Trust you?!" The young boy also became agitated, and he said impulsively with tears, "Believe you? If you go, my sister will kill herself! If she has anything, I will never let you go! β
"What? Qi Jing committed suicide? Why? Flower Shadow was particularly worried.
"Why? It's not you yet! If it weren't for your nonsense, my sister wouldn't be like this! Originally, everything was going to return to normal, and you were to blame! You spoil everything! β
"You're back to normal, should that poor kid die?" Hua Ying retorted sternly.
"What's the solution? We are also helpless, as her teacher, why can't you understand us as parents? I'm not here to talk to you, though! I'm here to threaten you, if you still want to live in peace, keep your mouth shut! β
"I can help you!"
"We don't need to! You remember my words, don't force me! Qi Jing's father said through gritted teeth. Then he left with his son.
Flower Shadow looked at the mess in the room, and cried very helplessly.
I don't know how long it took. Little by little, it got dark. Xue Bin came with the wind.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Little Shadow. Xue Bin picked up the helpless flower shadow huddled in the corner and put her on the bed.
Xue Bin held Huaying's hand and said distressedly, "Who did this?" β
"Qi Jing's father......" Hua Ying said weakly.
"Is that him? We call the police! Xue Bin took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call.
"Can't call the police!" Huaying pressed Xue Bin's hand and said, "I can't call the police, I have to live here for a long time, and I can't make things bigger and bigger!" β
"But they're committing a crime! You just swallow your anger like that? β
"I am not willing to become an enemy like this! I want to find a way, you help me figure it out! β
"Okay, okay, don't worry!"
Xue Bin hugged the shadow of the flower. The two of them struggled to figure out a way. Hua Ying was still worried about Qi Jing in her heart, and she didn't know why she committed suicide and what the situation was now.
Xue Bin said: "That's it, you take a break, I'll clean up first." Tomorrow, let's face it together! β
The two of them basically had no sleep all night.
Early in the morning, it was not too bright.
Hua Ying shook Xue Bin's arm and said, "I thought about it all night, Qi Jing and that boy are the key to the matter!" β
Xue Bin sat up, but still held Huaying's hand, and said, "That's smart!" That's right! β
Flower Shadow also sat up: "Then what should we do!" No one knows where the boy lives or what his name is! β
"So, we must see Qi Jing again!"
"But ......"
"Let's go! Take advantage of the quiet, squat down, and find out about Qi Jing's current situation! If it really doesn't work, let's let Director Sun lead someone in! β
Flower Shadow was amused: "Then aren't we just like them?" You might as well directly imitate those ancient heroes, fly the eaves and walk the wall, and directly rob people out! β
After all, the two of them soon began to listen to the movement in front of Qi Jing's house.
October mornings were a little cold, and there was a layer of hoarfrost on the grass on the roadside. They wandered around, rubbing their hands and wiping their faces from time to time, revitalizing their stiff muscles.
Suddenly, there was a "creak" and the door opened. A figure quickly flashed out. She looked up in the direction and hurried to her way.
It's Qi Jing! Her slender body grew weaker and weaker in the haze of the future.
Huaying stopped her and held her shoulder: "Jingjing, are you okay?" Where are you going? β
Hua Ying saw that she still had bandages wrapped around her wrists, and instantly understood Qi Jing's father's anger.
"Teacher! I'm looking for you! Qi Jing's eyes suddenly brightened, "I want to find my child!" I can raise him, Cao Zhi is also willing, he said it! He said it! It's just, my mom ......."
"Jingjing-Jingjing-" Soon, the family behind him was found.
Qi Jing wanted to run away, but Huaying stopped her and said, "Child, tell me, which village does he live in?" I'll go find him for you! β
"Caojia Village!" Qi Jing said, pointing in the direction again.
"Okay, go back with your parents! Don't worry about them! β
Before Qi Jing's parents could catch up, Hua Ying and Xue Bin slipped away, avoiding a head-on conflict.
The two of them inquired and came to Caojia Village. Sure enough, the material conditions here are much better than those in Yushan Village. There are all kinds of shops, all kinds of buying and selling, which shows that life is still rich.
They saw a young man carrying goods to a pesticide and fertilizer store.
The lad also saw them, carrying a bag of fertilizer, and still greeted them warmly: "Welcome! Own small shop, feel free to take a look if you need it! β
Flower Shadow said, "Ask! Seeing that he is about the same age, he should be able to recognize Cao Zhi. β
Then he said to the young man, "Hello! Do you know where Cao Zhi's family lives? β
"I am, you're looking for me?" The young man put down the contents of his shoulders, straightened up, clapped his hands, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and leaked a handsome buckwheat-colored face, full of vitality. Except for the chestnut curls on his head, he doesn't seem to be able to associate with that kind of irresponsible prodigal youth.
"You are Cao Zhi?"
"That's right! Is there something wrong? β
"Oh! Do you know Qi Jing? β
"I don't know!" He said no, turned around and wanted to leave.
Flower Shadow's heart was half cold.
However, he turned around slowly and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with her?" Huaying could see clearly, and in that sad eyes, he still couldn't hide his concern.
Flower Shadow decided to hit the snake and hit the seven inches, hitting the vital point.
"She gave birth to the child and now she wants to kill herself......"
"What? Did she give birth to the baby? Didn't you knock it out? β
"Who told you to knock it out? It can be seen that she wants this child! β
"Her mother came to us when she was more than five months pregnant, and just found out she was pregnant. She didn't know it herself, and thought it was a late adult, and her period was not allowed. But her mother asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan with one mouth, and my mother felt that it was an opportunity to blackmail and disagreed. Her mother said, if you don't agree, you will sue us for rape! Therefore, the two families have been quarreling for a long time, and my relationship has become shaken......"
"In the end, your mother didn't agree either? So how did you solve it? β
"My mother finally compromised, she said that she could take out 200,000 yuan, but she wanted her to kill the child, and it had nothing to do with us from now on."
"Then have you seen Qi Jing? Do you think this is what Qi Jing means? β
"I don't know, she didn't come, I went to look for her, her mother didn't let us meet, her mother said, don't give a dowry, she wants to see her daughter!"
"Then what if that's not what Qi Jing meant at all?"
"I don't know, my mom won't agree to it......"
"What about you? What do you mean? If you are a good boy who listens to your mother, you should not provoke her at all! β
"I didn't want to have a child so early, and she's not old enough......"
"She's not old enough! She's still a minor at all! You are seducing a minor in this way, and you can even be charged with seduction! Xue Bin said.
"I didn't lie to her! Who the hell are you?! Cao Zhi also began to get anxious.
"I'm her teacher, I'm a police officer, we're all people who want to help you! You have to tell the truth, you have to be a little responsible, otherwise Qi Jing will be ruined! β
"I don't know what to do, my mom really won't agree, the two families are very stiff. Moreover, she is not old enough to get married, so she can't be registered, and my mother said that she was pregnant before marriage, which is very embarrassing! β
"It's a shame to be pregnant out of wedlock, but who is to blame? A girl's reputation is more important! What do you let her do? What do you let that kid do? β
"Yes, kid, boy? Girl? It can be seen that Feng came out that this boy named Cao Zhi is not incorrigible, he still remembers Qi Jing in his heart, and he also thinks about the child.
"Boy!"
"Is he okay?"
"He was thrown in the mountains and almost died, do you think it's okay?"
"What? So how is he doing now? Saved? Cao Zhi was anxious to know the child's situation.
"That kid has a big life! After he was rescued, he was sent to a welfare home. β
"What? Welfare? It's disgusting! Why did you give birth to him and throw him again? Cao Zhi began to misunderstand Qi Jing again, he clenched his fists and said angrily.
"How can a mother be willing to throw away her child? If she wanted to throw it, then she would have knocked the baby out early in the morning, how could she give birth? β
"Why is that? β¦β¦β
Because Qi Jing's mother lied to her that the child died when she was born, she actually threw the child away. Later, Qi Jing knew that the child was still alive, so she wanted to find the child, but her parents never agreed, so she chose to commit suicide when she was very helpless, but fortunately she was saved in time, but what about next time? How pathetic she is! Only you can save her! β
"However, I don't know what to do......" Cao Zhi looked sad.
"First of all, you have to stand firm, as long as you want, and with other things, we will help you! So, would you still like to be with Qi Jing? β
Cao Zhi thought for a while and nodded.
"What about the kids? Are you willing to raise it? β
"Kid? Of course! I didn't think it was so early...... But I love kids! Cao Zhi's attitude towards children is much firmer than Qi Jing's.
Flower Shadow thought: Although I was young and ignorant and made mistakes, maybe I wouldn't have been so miserable. If it weren't for Qi Jing's parents, who favored sons over daughters, and wanted to make a savings for her brother through Qi Jing, the two of them probably wouldn't have had so many waves.
"Good! You remember your attitude today! "Xue Bin said, we will do your mother's ideological work! Is she home now? β
Cao Zhi said: "Yes." β
"Okay, you can keep busy, we'll visit you later!" Xue Bin said.
Cao Zhi still had the heart to work, so he went directly into the house to find his mother.
Xue Bin called the town's police station and found two policemen to help.
Flower Shadow said, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say okay, don't call the police first? β
Xue Bin smiled and said, "Dress up the faΓ§ade!" β
I see.
Sure enough, many things, the police came forward, and it was much smoother to solve.
When they came to Cao Zhi's house, Cao Zhi's parents had already settled with their son.
Xue Bin said: "Cao Zhi probably told you about the situation!" We're here to ask, what are you going to do about this? β
Cao Zhi's mother looked at the two police comrades beside Xue Bin, and her attitude softened: "The children have already been born, they are still boys, after all, they are grandchildren, what can they do?" I don't want to throw my child away! Moreover, I heard you say, this girl Qi Jing is still different from her mother, and if they still have feelings, I don't care. It's just that her family ......"
"It's okay, you take a stand, and we'll take care of the rest! Wait for the letter at home! β
Xue Bin and his entourage came out of Cao Zhi's house.
Flower Shadow said, "What are we going to do again?" β
Xue Bin said: "Go to Qi Jing's house again!" β
"But can we convince them?"
"Don't worry!" Xue Bin turned his face again and said to the two colleagues beside him, "I have to bother you to accompany us again!" β
The four of them came to Qi Jing's house. Two policemen knocked on the door. Qi Jing's mother saw that it was the police from the crack in the door, and she felt a little panicked, but she didn't dare not open the door.
After opening the door, she saw the flower shadow and immediately said angrily, "Why are you again?" Did you call the police? Have you forgotten yesterday's warning? β
Qi Jing's mother said very loudly, and when Qi Jing's father and brother heard it, they immediately ran out of the house, still holding a shovel in their hands, looking like they were going to do it.
Qi Jing also staggered and staggered out.
When the flower shadow saw that everyone was together, she said to them, "That's right! I've called the police! You have now committed the crime of desertion, and you are also suspected of trespassing on people's houses, making physical threats and intimidation! β
"So what? Who is afraid? Qi Jing's father and brother shouted, and wanted to step forward, but were stopped by the two policemen.
Flower Shadow said again: "I'm not you, I still hope that there will be the best solution to the matter, and I hope that there will be a result that everyone is happy with." So just now, we went to the child's father's house to investigate. Fortunately, the child's father is willing to re-accept Qi Jing and pick up the child again, now it depends on your attitude! β
Qi Jing was very excited when she heard this, she was so happy, in the final analysis, this matter was caused by her stealing the forbidden fruit too early. But later, she did suffer a lot and had a lot of grievances. Therefore, at this moment, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and the big drops fell to her chest and the ground, and she was really in tears!
"Mom, I beg you, don't use me as a cash cow! My brother's marriage money is almost up, so let me get my children back! β
"What nonsense are you talking about! Raising you so big, it's embarrassing to just follow it! Qi Jing's parents scolded her together, "Which girl is not beautiful when she gets married?" Which one doesn't have a 100,000 bride price? What's more, you're pregnant with a child and hurt your body, so if we don't ask for more, will it be difficult for others to say that you are a bargain? β
Every sentence is heart-wrenching, it's really unbearable! Where can this be the words of his own daughter? Huaying is very sad for Qi Jing: Born in such an indifferent family, Qi Jing is really lacking love, so she took this step!
"Mom-" Qi Jing shouted weakly and loudly, "Don't say it!" Hasn't this always been what you arranged? After Qi Jing finished speaking, his whole body began to tremble!
"Dead girl! I'll let you talk nonsense! Did I let you give birth to this seed? Qi Jing's mother raised her hand and was about to hit her.
Xue Bin stopped her. "Now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong!" Now it's time to solve the problem! Either you'll fulfill them, or we'll go through the legal process! β
Xue Bin added: "However, let me remind you that once you go through the legal process, things will get even bigger, and you and his father will at least be detained and even sentenced, which will have an impact on Qi Jing's brother's employment and marriage!" β
"Don't, don't, we don't take the legal route, we negotiate and settle!"
Sure enough, it's a deep love for a son!
"Then are you willing to accept Cao Zhi? Will it fulfill them? Flower Shadow asked again.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, isn't it just to keep them together? She's willing to go, whatever she wants! Anyway, it's enough to be embarrassed with her! Qi Jing's mother is still unforgiving.
The matter is finally settled. Cao Zhi did a paternity test with the child, and then took the child back to his home with Qi Jing.
The moment Qi Jing saw the child, she was in an uproar again, crying a lot, crying a mess.
As the saying goes, intergenerational pro-generation. Cao Zhi's mother saw her little grandson and saw the likable appearance of the little guy, and her anger gradually subsided, and then she said vigorously: "Yo, this pink-looking one is really similar to my son when he was a child, I really never get tired of looking at it!" β
Hua Ying thought to herself: Cao Zhi's mother, much stronger than Qi Jing's mother!
A few days later, Cao Zhi's family paid the child social support money, which was a fine, so that the child's household registration was lost.
Later, Cao Zhi's parents held a wedding for Cao Zhi and Qi Jing in accordance with local customs, which can be regarded as marriage. Then just wait for Qi Jing to officially get the certificate when she is old enough for marriage.
One day, Flower Shadow went to see Qi Jing. They sat on the steps in front of Cao Zhi's house for a while.
Flower Shadow asked, "Jingjing, how are you doing lately?" β
Qi Jing nodded: "It's good, teacher." β
"And when are you going to school?"
Qi Jing's expression was a little sad: "No, teacher." I'm content to be able to do that! β
Hua Ying still had a lot of questions in her heart, she wanted to ask Qi Jing why she didn't beat the child; She wanted to know what kind of hard and tragic struggle Qi Jing had made in the middle; She also wanted to find out what kind of perseverance Qi Jing relied on to give birth to the child alone. However, she didn't say anything. Maybe this is: women are weak, but mothers are strong!
She put her arm around Qi Jing's shoulders, and the two of them sat quietly for a while.
Finally, Flower Shadow said, "Jingjing, I'm leaving." Take the rest of your own way! Take good care of the people around you! Now life should be cherished! β
Qi Jing is still the habitual, but it is indeed from the heart - thank you, teacher!
In the "Book of Rites", it is said: "Those who are teachers are also taught to teach them to be virtuous." "Definitely. Hua Ying thought: The cause of Qi Jing's tragedy is that he is young and ignorant, and second, his parents are ignorant, in fact, third, school education also has blind spots, for example, the lack of love education. We don't give our children enough love, and we don't teach them how to love!
Guiding to seek truth and guiding to goodness is really much more important than guiding to seek knowledge!
