An autumn rain fell from night to dawn, and after less than half an hour, it began to fall again. Yi Songjuan was holding a black umbrella that she didn't usually use, which could cover half of her body. She locked the door and looked back at the quiet village in the rain, and then hurried out into the rain.

The courtyard gate of the circuit court was open, and Yi Songjuan looked carefully outside to make sure that there was no one else but the judge, and then walked into the courtyard herself.

Lao Li, the hired security guard of the circuit court, is not there these days, because he is busy telling his son about his family. Yi Songjuan knew from the discussion of the woman in the forest farm that Lao Li had taken a week's leave and would definitely not be in court today. A few days ago, she saw Lao Li move all his flowers and plants indoors.

She'd been here quietly a few times, knowing that every Monday was the Circuit Court's office hours. Rain or shine, the judge will come. But in such rainy weather, no one else usually comes, unless there is something urgent. What's the urgency in the woods? Everyone is used to living idle days, except for people who have nothing to do, there will be no such thing.

Ling Yuan's father, Ling Yande, is her husband Ling Yuan's cousin, and he is a person who has nothing to do.

After Ling Yuan's father was killed in an accidental birth accident on the forest farm, a few months later, Ling Yuan's mother left the five-year-old and ran away with her lover. Ling Yande took in this nephew, probably out of sympathy for this nephew, Ling Yande was never willing to restrain this nephew, so that Ling Yuan developed a bad habit of alcoholism, and often used violence to vent his inner emotions after drinking.

Before Yi Songjuan and Ling Yuan got married, they didn't know that he had such a problem. Soon after getting married, Ling Yande's family built a new house, and Ling Yuan was called to help with the work, and he drank a lot of wine at night before returning. Yi Songjuan saw that his hands and face were full of blood, and his clothes were full of mud, and she just wanted to ask him if he had fallen on the road, but she didn't expect that as soon as he entered the house, he began to drop things for no reason.

Yi Songjuan was terrified, and for the first time she was alone with a madman-like drunkard. Ling Yuan saw Yi Songjuan's frightened and helpless appearance, but he was even more excited, opened his blood-red eyes and smirked, grabbed her hair and slammed it against the wall, and blood flowed from her head in an instant. He walked into the room as if he were unaware, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep.

Yi Songjuan was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she didn't know what to do when she looked at Ling Yuan, who was already asleep. I wanted to wipe the blood on his face and change his stained clothes, but I was afraid that I would wake him up and be beaten for no reason. She lay down on a wooden couch outside the room with her clothes open, and thought about her thoughts all night with her eyes open.

The next day, when it was almost noon to eat, Ling Yuan still hadn't woken up, and Ling Yande saw that his nephew didn't come to help, so he came over to see what was going on. Seeing Ling Yuan lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, his face covered with blood, and looking back at Yi Songjuan's head, there was a bruise-purple lump on his head, so he thought that Ling Yuan had a fight when he went home after drinking, and scolded Yi Songjuan indiscriminately.

He pointed to Yi Songjuan's nose and said, "You are really rare, I have never seen a woman treat her husband like you?" He worked hard all day, and I let him drink a little wine, so you can't let him take care of him? And beat him like this? It doesn't matter if he lives or dies, what if something happens? Is there a woman like you? ”

Yi Songjuan didn't expect that after being beaten by her husband, she was inexplicably insulted by Ling Yande, and her tears couldn't stop flowing again. Ling Yande was even more dissatisfied: "Speaking of you, and squeezing out so many tears, do you want me to think that you are doing the right thing?" Want me to sympathize with you and think you're a good woman? What a joke. What good woman is like you? Still crying? Why don't you hurry up and help him change his clothes and wash them? ”

Yi Songjuan is not a submissive woman, she saw Ling Yande accusing herself unreasonably and unreasonably, and knew that there was no way to reason with such a person. silently wiped away his tears, picked up a piece of cold steamed buns, glanced at Ling Yande, who was embarrassed and angry, and walked out of the door with the usual medicine basket.

After marrying Ling Yuan, she knew that this was a poor family. Although Ling Yuan is a worker in the forest farm and has a regular income every month, that income is only enough for him to drink and smoke. Ling Yuan had no money for her, so she could only rely on going up the mountain to collect medicine to supplement her family and save a little pocket money for herself.

Ling Yande saw that Yi Songjuan ignored him and went out, so he scolded even more annoyedly: "You shameless woman, do you still have me as an elder in your eyes?" Don't think that I can't cure you, if you don't listen to your elders like this, I will let you have a bad life. Try it if you don't believe me, I'll make you notorious in the woods. Don't blame me for not saying hello to you! ”

Yi Songjuan didn't expect Ling Yande to say such a thing, although she also heard that he likes to take care of other people's affairs, and he would talk about the Zhang family's Li family like a woman, but she didn't expect him to do the same to his nephew and daughter-in-law.

She stopped her steps, looked back at the angry Ling Yande and said coldly, "You ask your own nephew, which one hit which?" Can I beat him with a woman? He drank too much ecstasy soup outside, fell like this on the road, and hit me when he came back, are you blind? Didn't you see my head broken by him? How do you ask me to take care of him? He's not a human being. ”

Ling Yande didn't expect Yi Songjuan to scold herself, and she was so angry that her eyes went straight to Venus: "Are you trying to do the opposite?" Say I'm blind? Hmph, count me blind and let Ling Yuan marry a shameless woman like you. You wait and see how I clean you up! I'm so angry, there is such a woman, there is no husband in her eyes, and there are no elders, I must make you stink, and see if you can fly out of the palm of my hand. ”

The result of that quarrel was that he was punched and kicked by Ling Yuan again that night, and Yi Songjuan looked at the scars all over her body and began to hate her father. If it weren't for her father, who was in the timber business, who came to the Phoenix Mountain Forest Farm to buy wood, and was drunk by Ling Yande and promised this family business, she would not have married into the forest farm.

After this conflict, every time she had a quarrel with Ling Yuan, Ling Yande would talk about her in turn outside, saying that she never cared about her husband, family, or children, and was a loser and a broom star. Over time, she became a notoriously bad woman in the woods. A woman who has become a loser in a man's mouth, and a vixen who seduces a man in a woman's mouth.

Yi Songjuan couldn't say it, she didn't know which one to explain, and she didn't know what she should do to stop those idle mouths. She felt that as long as she walked in front of people, someone would point at her back and talk about her and curse her. She felt that even if she had a mouth all over her body, she couldn't explain it clearly, and she couldn't make sense.

What made Yi Songjuan feel most distressed was that she couldn't find someone who could reason with her face-to-face, she felt that everyone in the forest farm was talking about her, but she didn't hear them talking about her in person. Except for Ling Yande and Ling Yuan, who would scold her to her face, the others had never scolded her to her face. Yi Songjuan was not a fool, their eyes clearly told her that it was a kind of disdain and contempt, and after a long time, even the children for no reason began to despise her.

Ling Yuan had an accident when he was drunk and went up the mountain to work, and he was not rescued after being sent to the hospital by his co-workers. Unexpectedly, such a clear thing would also be suspected by Ling Yande, and he actually called the police in the forest farm, saying that someone might have drugged Ling Yuan's wine and deliberately made him fall off the cliff.

Yi Songjuan knew that Ling Yande suspected that she had murdered his nephew, she was not afraid of Ling Yuan's fists, nor was she afraid of Ling Yande's swearing, but she was afraid of the rumors in the forest farm. She was afraid that the police would not find out the truth, so they insisted on putting the charges on her head, and she was afraid that she would never be able to clear her grievances again.

The police arrived in a police car, and the forensic doctor conducted an examination of Ling Yuan's stomach contents, and there was no indication that he had died of poisoning. Ling Yande did not give up, and wanted to make a fuss, the public security organs believed that they could not create rumors that were not conducive to stability for no reason, and in the process of the police investigation, almost all of them proved that Ling Yuan had a bad habit of alcoholism. Finally, under the supervision of the public security organs, the forest farm sent Ling Yuan's body to be cremated.

Yi Songjuan felt that she had escaped, and she remembered what Ling Yande had said when she cursed herself: "You can't escape the palm of my hand." Since then, she has had nightmares almost every night, dreaming that she was pushed off a cliff by Ling Yande. Every time she woke up, she was covered in cold sweat and couldn't sleep peacefully.

Since she knew that there was a circuit court in the forest area, Yi Songjuan had her own affairs, she felt that she could no longer be insulted and ruined by others, she had to live with dignity, and no one could bully her at will.

When Yi Songjuan walked into the courtroom thinking about her thoughts, Dongfang Siyi was discussing a divorce case caused by paternity testing with the clerk Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang looked at the autumn rain that was falling heavier and heavier outside, looked at the visitor in a black dress, and guessed the other party's intention.

Xiao Wang had never seen this woman, and it seemed that she would not be more than thirty years old, with a little light makeup on her face, and only a few understated strokes between her eyebrows and eyes, just right to outline a few traces of charm, if you don't pay attention to it, you won't find it.

Since the establishment of the circuit court for half a year, it has only handled more than a dozen cases, except for the somewhat embarrassing divorce case of Ling Yuan v. Du Shaoyou, the others are some ordinary disputes between neighbors, and after court mediation, both parties shook hands and settled the case. This is also the significance of the establishment of circuit courts, to resolve civil disputes in a timely manner, to reduce major matters to small matters, and to ensure the harmony and stability of grassroots communities in accordance with the law.

Xiao Wang looked at the visiting woman who was not in a hurry to collect the umbrella, and thought to himself: With such a heavy rain, what special thing would make such a visitor walk into the courtroom?
