Volume 3 The Prodigy Case Chapter 20 Let's start from the beginning
Cong Xi took a long breath: "Then we have to start from the beginning, the words are a bit long, please listen patiently." About half a year ago, one day there were more than a dozen patients in Grandpa He's medical hall, a family ate moldy and poisonous food, and there were different symptoms, I and Congran happened to help in the hospital that day, and we were busy until the last patient was placed at night. Let's not be nosy, and climb up the bridge railing, I and Congran were busy dragging her down, we asked her what was difficult, maybe we could help, she ignored us, scolded us angrily, continued to climb the bridge railing, we continued to drag her down, back and forth seven or eight times, the man still did not stop, determined to seek death. I thought this was not the way to go, so I knocked her unconscious. We didn't know who she was, and where she lived, so we carried her back to our house, and when we got to the house, we saw under the lamp that it was a young woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face, and she should not be rich in her clothes.
She woke up during the day, and wanted to seek death, asked her why, she only kept silent, I and Congran dragged her and did not let go, tossing for a day, I and Congran were exhausted, she was also tired, suddenly sat down on the ground, crying, I thought this is good, no matter what happens, cry out, cry out of the mood is more comfortable, she cried for two hours, crying hoarse voice before stopping, but asked her still refused to say, just sat still, but than before only looking for death is already very good, she sat for three days, In those three days, Congran and I took turns looking at her, and tried to persuade her, but my throat was hoarse, so I persuaded her to eat something.
On the evening of the third day, she finally spoke to us, she said that she was married, with her parents-in-law and two children, and that her husband was not very capable, but he was honest and very good to her, and that although their family was not rich, they were also happy and peaceful, and that her husband had received some extra money a few days ago, and gave it to her, so that she could help herself, her parents-in-law, and her two children, and that she should buy a suit for the season, and that her husband also said that he had been working outside all the year round, and that he could not wear new clothes, so he should not buy him, and the sister-in-law said, in fact, she knew, Her husband thought to herself, she could buy a good cloth for her parents-in-law, the child was growing up, and the clothes would not be worn for too long, so she didn't need any good clothes, and she knew that her husband loved her and was satisfied, and she didn't need a good dress, and she could buy a dress for her husband with the money she saved. The sister-in-law calculated, so she took the silver money to the street to help the family find dresses, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, as well as her husband, children's dresses were all selected to buy, there was not much silver left, she heard that the Wutong Street Yuan embroidery clothing store sold women's ready-to-wear, and the price was cheap, so she happily walked into the Yuan embroidery clothing store, and wanted to use the remaining little money to add a dress for herself, who knew that she walked into the devil's cave. ”
Old Madam Wu frowned and said, "My shop is just doing business, how did it become a demon cave, you can make it clear?" ”
Congxi: "The sister-in-law said that when she was choosing a dress in the store, an ordinary-looking maid told her that they still had a layer of clothes on the second floor, with more novel styles and more affordable prices. ”
Old Madam Wu frowned and said, "She is talking nonsense, we have no clothes on the second floor at all." ”
Congxi stared at Mrs. Wu and said: "Mrs. Wu, do you know, I dressed up as on the portrait that day, pretending to go to the Yuan embroidery shop to choose clothes, Lu Lian also used the same rhetoric to trick me to go up to the second floor, I had a chance to stun her, and what I know, in addition to the sister-in-law I just said, there is also an aunt who was deceived by Lu Lian to go to the second floor, but she was saved by me and Congran, and I don't know, I don't know how many other women have been poisoned by Wujiang." ”
Old Madam Wu: "What nonsense are you talking about, what did Ah Lian lie to you to go up to the second floor, what did Wu Jiang do to them, can you tell me clearly?" ”
Congxi stared at Old Madam Wu and said slowly: "Old Madam Wu, you actually guessed it, didn't you?" It's just that you don't want to believe it, you don't want to believe it. ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Wu to answer, she paused and continued: "That sister-in-law just stepped on the second floor, Lu Lian suddenly sprinkled some medicine powder on her face, the sister-in-law didn't understand what was going on, so she passed out, and when she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, her hands were tied to the left and right sides of the bed, and the cloth was still blocked in her mouth, she looked up and saw a man sitting next to the bed, undressing, the man was slightly fat, his face looked majestic and dignified, she had just seen it in the store downstairs, it was really the shopkeeper Wu Jiang. ”
"You're talking nonsense." "You're." "She wronged me." Old Madam Wu, Wu Jiang, and Wu Yong opened their mouths at the same time to reprimand angrily.
Congxi stared at Mrs. Wu's gaze and said: "Mrs. Wu, if you firmly believe that Wu Jiang is wronged, can you patiently listen to me after I finish speaking, the clear is self-purifying, and the turbidity of Wujiang is in his own heart, not whether others accuse him or not, if I finish speaking, Mrs. Wu still firmly believes that Wu Jiang is wronged, and still has to report to the official. ”
Old Madam Wu gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's listen and see what tricks you can say." ”
Congxi continued: "That sister-in-law was powerless to resist, so she could only grieve and tear, and let Wu Jiang bully her, and after Wu Jiang bullied her, she also threatened her that if she dared to report to the official, she would be ruined, and told everyone that it was the sister-in-law who took the initiative to seduce Wu Jiang, so that her family and neighbors knew that she was a water-based Yanghua woman, and her family and children, the Wu family would not let go." That sister-in-law was only from a small family, unable to fight against the wealth of the Wu family, and was more worried about the safety of her family, so she could only endure her anger and leave in tears.
When she returned home, although she tried her best to hide her abnormality from her family, she finally felt sorry for her husband, felt that she was an unclean woman, unable to face herself, and thought that she could only die in the middle of the night.
I didn't expect to be saved by me and Congran, in my house for three days, I and Congran explained her day and night, in fact, she is more in her ears, and she also has two children, is young, she is also very concerned, life is not easy, I don't know if the two children lost their mother, will it be more difficult to live, she also wants to watch the two children grow up, start a family, and start a business, but she just doesn't know how to face her family, face her husband, not to mention, she can't even face herself, if her parents-in-law, children, especially her husband know what happened to her in the future, how will she face it?
I and Congran explained her for two more days, the sister-in-law's mood was a little slower, I think the sister-in-law's biggest knot should be that she can't face her husband, and she feels ashamed of her husband, this knot is buried in her heart, even if she goes back now, I don't know how many curses will be buried in the future.
I went behind the sister-in-law to find her husband, her husband was anxiously looking for her at that time, I told her husband the whole story, her husband's first reaction was to kill Wu Jiang, I persuaded him to stop, told him that if he killed Wu Jiang, he must pay for his life, who will take care of his parents and children? I relieved the husband again and swore to him that I would definitely make Wu Jiang pay the price, so he gave up his obsession with revenge for the time being. I asked him to make a decision, and if he was sad about this threshold, he would divorce the sister-in-law, and from then on the two would have nothing to do with each other, and each would find his own life, and if he could let go of it, he would relieve the sister-in-law and let her go home, and his husband would think for an hour and say to me, 'I'll go and take her home.' When I arrived at my house, Cong Ran and I waited in the courtyard, and he went into the house to persuade the sister-in-law for an afternoon, and the two hugged their heads and cried for an hour before they came out together.
The sister-in-law's husband half-believed me and asked me, 'Will he really make Wu Jiang's beast pay, otherwise he will not be reconciled, even if he doesn't kill Wu Jiang, he will find a chance to castrate him?' I said that Wu Jiang should not only bully that sister-in-law, but in order to prevent more women from being abused by Wu Jiang, I will also think of stopping him and ask him to give me a month to wait for my news. I asked the sister-in-law what characteristics Wu Jiang could have, and she endured her nausea and grief, and struggled to recall for a moment, saying that Wu Jiang had a palm-sized red birthmark around her waist. ”
Old Madam Wu couldn't help but speak: "This is all her one-sided words, you believe it, the birthmark may have been heard by her from elsewhere, and you humiliated Wu Jiang like that?" ”
Congxi: "What Mrs. Wu said is right, it is indeed a one-sided statement, but she is a woman from a good family, who wants to jump into the river to seek death, and later tells others and her husband that she has been bullied by others, if she is only to frame Wu Jiang, what does Mrs. Wu think Wu Jiang can do to her, so that she will not hesitate to destroy her innocence and sacrifice her life to wronged Wu Jiang? ”
Old Madam Wu paused, "Maybe it's an excuse you made up for exonerating, there is no young woman at all, and you haven't saved anyone." ”
Congxi smiled: "It does make sense, but that's all it takes, even if I'm making up a story, the story has no ending, everyone feels sorry, I'll finish the story, and it's up to Mrs. Wu to decide whether it's true or false." ”
Old Madam Wu snorted coldly and did not speak again.
