Chapter 258 Dog bites dog

After the final discussion, they decided to go to Bai Xiaoming's house, and then they could ask Song Saozi and Jiang Hong to help Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia had no objection. She agreed on a time with Song's wife Jiang Hong and set off early in the morning to buy groceries first.

They live in a desolate area, with the nearest village 10 miles away, so they can only go to the city to purchase goods.

All three of them had bicycles, so they just rode out.

We talked and laughed along the way. Although the road was not smooth, I didn't feel lonely.

When we got to the city, we went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Meat is indispensable. People are short of oil and water nowadays, so both men and women like to eat meat. Lin Chuxia bought a lot of pork and mutton, and even bought a fish when she saw one.

Vegetables are seasonal vegetables. I bought whatever was available. I also bought some pears and apples.

Then there are all kinds of canned food.

Even though people in later generations may think canned food is not nutritious and that eating too much of it is bad for your health, canned food nowadays is actually a good thing.

I bought three big baskets in total.

The baskets they brought were woven by Jiang Hong herself.

After Jiang Hong came here, she found that there were a lot of packing tapes used to pack equipment on the construction site. Some were collected by people and sold as scrap, while some were simply thrown away.

She had nothing to do, so she picked up some baskets to weave.

It’s no wonder that the basket she wove is sturdy and weighty, and the pattern combination is quite nice (as shown in the picture).

Each person tied one to the back of his bicycle, and then they walked back.

Before he had taken a few steps, a woman screamed and rushed out from the alley next to him, followed closely by a bearded man who was cursing.

The woman moved quickly, but she couldn't escape the man's clutches.

The man grabbed her hair and slammed her to the ground.

Before she could even scream, a slap as big as a palm fan hit her in the face.

Suddenly blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Even so, the man did not stop and slapped the woman again and again.

The woman couldn't escape and could only hold her head and scream.

The commotion here quickly attracted a lot of onlookers, and some kind-hearted passers-by stepped forward to try to stop the fight.

The man reeked of alcohol and waved those people away with slurred speech.

"I'm beating my own wife, why do you want to mind your own business?"

"Even if she's your own wife, you can't hit her. Look at what you did to her. She didn't marry you for you to hit her."

I don’t know what the other party said touched the man’s sore spot, but he attacked even more fiercely.

The woman begged for mercy again and again under his hands, her wails getting louder and louder.

"Ask her why she married me? I'll tell you, she married me just to get a beating. This woman is a slut. This is how you treat a slut like her."

"Tell me, tell everyone, why did you marry me? You bitch, you deserve a beating."

"Tell me now, do you feel good about the beating I gave you? Do you really think I'm blind because you've tricked me? I told you to flirt with other men, but now you don't like me anymore. It's too late. There's no way you can get rid of me."

…………

It is said that even a judge cannot judge family affairs. Although I feel sorry for the woman, it is not easy to interfere when I hear the man cursing.

Even the few kind-hearted people who had sympathized with the woman retreated into the crowd when they saw the man's violent expression.

Lin Chuxia frowned slightly when she saw that when the man was beating the woman, there was a little boy of four or five years old next to him.

The little boy's face was full of fear and timidity. When he looked at the woman, tears welled up in his eyes. It was obvious that the child was hers.

Lin Chuxia has always been compassionate towards children. No matter what happens between adults, children are innocent.

Children who grow up in an environment of domestic violence have more or less psychological problems.

Just as she was about to stop the car and move forward, Mrs. Song beside her grabbed her arm.

Looking up in confusion, Mrs. Song shook her head at her, glanced at the man and woman in the distance, and pushed her bicycle straight around the crowd.

Lin Chuxia knew Song Saozi's character. There must be a reason why she stood by and watched, or even ignored her.

She seldom came to the Northwest, but Mrs. Song had been living in the Northwest, and there were reasons she didn't understand from time to time.

Without any hesitation, he pushed his bicycle and caught up with Mrs. Song. Jiang Hong also followed the two of them quietly.

After they had walked quite a distance and could hardly hear the couple's voices anymore, Mrs. Song finally spoke.

"It's not that I'm cold-hearted. I know that man. He used to work in our unit's union and was the union's vice chairman. He was later fired because of his work style."

"Is he Xu Sijin's ex-husband?" Lin Chuxia asked.

Mrs. Song was a little surprised, "You know?"

She was still thinking about how to tell Lin Chuxia that the two people just now were Xu Sijin's ex-husband, Sha Jianqi, the former vice chairman of the trade union.

And when that woman brought the child to find Qin Yang, it also caused rumors.

Then, somehow, he got involved with Vice Chairman Sha and was caught in bed by Xu Sijin.

Lin Chuxia nodded calmly, "Qin Yang mentioned in his letter that he had saved a mother and son before and they came to him, wanting him to take responsibility."

Now that Lin Chuxia knew, Mrs. Song no longer felt any psychological burden and sighed.

"What kind of thing is this? Engineer Qin saved their lives with good intentions, but in the end he was blamed. And the union asked Engineer Qin to adopt the child as his godson. Do you think they would solve the problem this way? I think Sha deserves it. Since he has good intentions, let him take in the mother and child."

"Aren't you going to take them in?" After knowing the identities of those two people, Lin Chuxia could no longer feel any sympathy for them.

As for the child, although she couldn't tell his character after a quick glance, she had heard some things about his past life.

In order to please Qin Yang, Lin Jiayi took good care of the child he brought back and at least did not let him suffer any grievances.

As a result, the child did not appreciate Lin Jiayi's upbringing at all. When his biological mother came to visit, he and his biological mother even framed Lin Jiayi for abusing him.

In her previous life, Lin Jiayi had always lived with Qin's father and mother. Given the character of Qin's father and mother, it was impossible for them to watch Lin Jiayi treat her child harshly.

So most likely the child was lying.

Mrs. Song sneered after hearing what Lin Chuxia said, "Indeed, she took him in. Vice Chairman Sha and Secretary Xu really lost more than they gained. I would say that woman is quite capable. She couldn't get through to Engineer Qin, so she immediately hooked up with Vice Chairman Sha. But she didn't expect that Vice Chairman Sha's wife was not a pushover either. She had an even stronger backing and couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. In the end, she made a big fuss. Vice Chairman Sha not only lost his position but also his job, which helped the two of them."

Mrs. Song looked around and continued, "I heard that Vice Chairman Sha became useless after he lost his job. He smoked and drank all day and did nothing. He let that woman do odd jobs to support him. He would fight when he was not satisfied. He blamed the woman for seducing him. It was really a dog-eat-dog situation in my opinion."
