Chapter 2 The Matter Is Revealed
The next day, the villagers of Panlong Village woke up in their sleep, the village was full of chickens and dogs barking and the howling wind echoed, in the cold winter, just hide at home, I really don't want to go out!
The owner of a family surnamed Zhu, who was far away from Zhang Changwen's house, dug out his ear socket after getting up, and said to his mother-in-law: "Did you hear the cry of the baby opposite in the middle of the night last night?" ”
His mother-in-law covered her mouth and yawned lazily, squinted her eyes and said, "No! You heard me? ”
"Well, I only cried for a while, and I didn't listen to it anymore."
The hostess of the Zhu family got up from the low stool and stretched her waist: "It can't be raw, right?" After that, he pointed to Zhang Changwen's house opposite.
The male owner of the Zhu family lit a dry cigarette, took a puff, and was silent.
I was really reported.
Five days later, the leaders of a county bureau walked into the homes of Zhang Changwen and Zhu Shuilian with doctors and police.
Qin Fengying couldn't help but tremble when she saw several policemen in police uniforms walking in from the back door of the house.
The leader who led the team saw Zhu Shuilian, whose wound had become inflamed and festering, and blood was still bubbling out, beckoned the doctor to come over to help check his body, and ordered the others to retreat temporarily.
After the doctor helped Zhu Shuilian check her body, treat the wound, apply medicine, and explain how Qin Fengying cared for her, several policemen walked in, one of them took out a notebook and a pen, and began to ask like interrogating a prisoner: "When was the child born?" ”
"Five days ago." Zhu Shuilian lay in the quilt and replied with strong spirits.
"Where's the kid?"
"I don't know, her father took the child away."
Zhu Shuilian passed out after giving birth to the child, she really didn't know what happened to the child.
According to the negotiation between her and Zhang Changwen in the early stage of pregnancy, the so-called negotiation should be said to be Zhang Changwen's arrangement: "If you are still a daughter, give it away!" ”
Zhu Shuilian always thought that the child should be given away.
In the past few days, she has been groggy and very depressed, and she didn't ask Qin Fengying who the child was given to.
The police called Zhang Changwen outside the house in: "Someone reported that you favored sons over daughters and discarded your newborn baby girl, is it true?" ”
"Who reported it? How could I be willing to abandon my own flesh and blood? I'm going to throw away even my own flesh and blood, am I still human? Zhang Changwen's words were loud and loud.
"Comrade Zhang, don't worry. Now there is no conclusive evidence that you abandoned the baby girl, as long as you honestly explain what happened, the organization will find out the reason and give you justice. But before things are clear, you should suspend yourself! The bureau leader patted Zhang Changwen on the back and told him not to get too excited.
The policeman's questioning continued: "Since you didn't throw away your own flesh and blood, where is the baby girl now?" ”
Zhu Shuilian lay in the quilt with her heart in suspense, pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between her husband and the visitor, and she also wanted to know where the meat that fell from her body was now.
She hasn't had to look at the child yet!
"The child was born out of breath, it was a dead baby, and I had someone dispose of it." Zhang Changwen's face did not change, and his tone was flat.
"What?" When Zhu Shuilian heard this, her body kept her body and eyes closed, and she fainted again.
When she woke up, all the people in the house had gone, and Qin Fengying was holding chicken soup in her hand, looking flustered.
"Mom, tell me honestly, what did you do to that child?"
"Covered with a placenta. Do you think the child will turn into a ghost and come to me? I don't want to! But if you target him, he has to force me to do it, what do you think I can do? ”
Qin Fengying wiped a handful of snot with her hand and handed the chicken soup to Zhu Shuilian, "Drink!" Drink it! Let's take care of it. ”
Zhu Shuilian opened the bowl, stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, and her mind was dizzy.
His face was pale and pale with excessive blood loss, and there was not a trace of blood on his lips.
"Mom, you, you, you, how can you do it?" After a while, Zhu Shuilian's lips trembled slightly, and she asked weakly.
The teeth "gurgle" up and down because of the cold.
"Don't you know what kind of temperament your person has? As long as you don't give birth to a son, your hard days are still to come! Qin Fengying wiped her tears and said.
Zhu Shuilian closed her eyes in pain.
She felt that what she should be worried about now was whether Zhang Changwen would be arrested, sentenced, and sentenced to a heavy sentence.
After all, everyone is responsible for their actions, isn't it?
How did it turn into murder?
In the past, her husband was her heaven and her earth, and everything she had revolved around him.
Giving birth to a child for him, taking the child, going to the production team to work day and night, earning work in exchange for food.
Although the husband's salary and food stamps can solve the problem of food and clothing, it is still far from enough to support three daughters.
She lives alone with her three children and her mother-in-law and uncle's family.
My husband works in a foreign country, and at most he spends more than a month at home a year.
Of course, there is still a month for her to take her daughter to visit relatives in his unit.
That was her happiest day, and if she wanted to eat meat in the unit, she would have meat to eat.
When her husband's subordinates saw her, they all called her: "Hello sister-in-law! ”
How energetic and dignified!
When Zhang Changwen is happy, he occasionally takes her and her daughter to the street, and rarely buys a dress for her daughter alone.
The mother-in-law watched her give birth to daughters one after another, and when she gave birth to the first one, she pretended to have a smile on her face to help take care of the child, and when she gave birth to the second, she scolded her for being a broom star, which was unlucky, and the Zhang family was broken.
When she gave birth to the third child, she completely provoked her mother-in-law, pointing at Sang scolding Huai, jumping up and scolding her outside the window every day.
Once Zhu Shuilian was so scolded that she couldn't bear it, and stood by the window to talk to her mother-in-law.
When I woke up the next day, I was shocked: my mother-in-law asked Uncle Boy to fence off her room and prevent her from going out.
"Look at you so recklessly, you have the ability to come out! I'm going to trap you inside! The mother-in-law crossed her feet, opened her wooden window, and her eyes were fierce and provocative outside the window.
The eldest daughter and the second daughter cried in unison, and the third daughter had snot and tears crackling.
Zhu Shuilian forced herself to calm down and asked her second daughter, who was relatively thin, to squeeze out of the fence and call her uncle.
Zhu Shuilian's brother came over with an axe and cut down the fence, freeing Zhu Shuilian and her three daughters.
Zhang Changwen went home to visit relatives, and her mother-in-law said bad things about her, and her husband beat her without asking.
She can only swallow her tears in her stomach, and she eats coptis dumbly, and she can't say what she is suffering from.
The next morning, she still endured the pain and got up to bring her husband's face wash and squeeze the toothpaste.
After cooking breakfast and filling the three daughters, he hurried to the production team to report for duty, wearing a long shirt and trousers to cover the bruises from the beating.
After all, she is a pathetic, pitiful and hateful woman.
She hated that she was incompetent, that she couldn't protect her own flesh and blood, and that she couldn't earn more work so that her daughter could eat more and dress warmer.
