Chapter 218 Mom, they are here to save us!

"I heard from these kids that Comrade Hong Xiu was abused by his family and is now illegally imprisoned in a room. Is this true?"

When Chen Tang had a cold face, he was very deceptive, arrogant and cold, and it seemed difficult to talk to him.

The village chief did not dare to hide it, but was afraid that they would find out that Hong Xiu was being abused and that would implicate him, so he stammered, "Comrade soldier, this, this is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding? Please open the door. We need to verify. Regardless of whether Comrade Hong Xiu is the widow of a martyr or not, assaulting a woman is against our country's laws. In serious cases, she can be sentenced."

"What? You'll go to jail for beating your wife?"

"It's scary, right? I've never seen a man who beats his wife get sentenced."

"That's my wife. I spent a lot of money to marry her. What's wrong with me hitting her a few times? Is it your business?"

Bai Laizi's eyes turned pale with panic, and when he heard that he was going to go to jail, he immediately stood up.

However, he had not yet forgotten the pain he had just felt, and now he did not dare to get close to the two of them.

If the beating was really serious, of course she would go to jail, but at this time most police officers were focusing on mediation, but it did not prevent her from fooling a few villagers in the valley.

"Hurry and open the door. The longer you wait, the more serious the injuries will be and the heavier the sentence will be. Do you all want to go to jail?"

Bai Laizi shuddered and said, "Mom, go and open it."

Bai's mother hid behind him and said, "What sentence? I don't believe they will sentence an old woman like me. I spent fifty yuan as a betrothal gift to marry her. I can beat my wife however I want. I won't open the door!"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to kick the door of their house.

But doing so would give her a chance to be criticized, so she definitely couldn't break into someone's house unless it was absolutely necessary.

At this time, a girl about six or seven years old came running over with a basket on her back and shouted, "I'll drive it!"

The little girl also had many wounds on her body, and was so thin that only bones were left, but her eyes were bright. She gasped for breath, snatched the key from Bai Laizi's hand, and opened the door in no time.

Bai Laizi reacted and was about to stop him, but was scared away by Su Xiaoxiao's look.

Seeing that everyone had entered his house, he hurriedly chased after Dai Yun.

Dai Yun didn't care about the man behind her and ran quickly to her mother's room: "Mom, they are here, they are here to save us!"

Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao followed behind and walked in quickly.

The house smelled terrible, the shabby windows were covered with newspapers, the bedding had turned black, and the person lying on the bed was motionless, his face was swollen and purple, as if he had fainted.

Dai Yun was so anxious: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the person away and took a step forward to check on Hong Xiu's condition. Suddenly, she lifted the quilt and saw that her legs were thin and swollen, with many marks from being whipped. An unknown amount of blood had flowed from her lower body, and the entire blanket was stained red.

Chen Tang was shocked: "Send him to the hospital quickly."

It's obviously a miscarriage!

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the person and walked out. Bai Laizi saw that things were not going well, and put on a fierce expression and tried to stop Su Xiaoxiao: "This is my wife, you can't take her away..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Xiaoxiao kicked him over.

Bai Laizi held his stomach and gritted his teeth, shouting, "Mom, stop them quickly. That's my wife, we can't let her go!"

Bai Laizi's mother picked up a knife from the kitchen and rushed over: "Let go of my daughter-in-law!"

The village chief was shocked. This stupid woman actually held a knife. Was she trying to rebel?

He was also afraid that Bai's mother would get chopped off in a fit of rage, so he tried to stop her twice: "Put down the knife! What are you going to do, you stupid woman? Put it down now!"

No matter what Bai Laizi did, he was still his nephew, and he would never let his nephew be without a wife. But if she raised a knife against someone, especially a soldier, their Dahe Village would definitely be stripped of the title of excellent brigade if the news got out.

Several other villagers also hurried to persuade him: "Dahua, put down the knife immediately. They want to save your daughter-in-law, not take her away."

"Bullshit, you asked them if they would come back if they left?"

She spat at the person who spoke. Fifty yuan was the betrothal gift, but she didn't even give them a son. How could she let him go?

"Why can't you make sense? Go ahead and chop, the next person to be shot will be you."

"That's right. Everyone knows that you value your life."

Zhang Dahua was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? You make it sound so easy. It's not your son who lost his wife."

If their daughter-in-law ran away, who knows how anxious the whole family would be.

Pointing fingers at her now is just because the incident didn't happen to you.

So what if she is a scoundrel and a shrew? If she wasn't assertive, how could she have raised her son during a famine?

Chen Tang was so angry that he said to the village chief: "Village Chief Bai, you are the village chief after all. Hong Xiu is the widow of a martyr, and Dai Yun is the child of a martyr. If something happens to them in your village, can you still sit safely as the village chief?"

Don't think she didn't notice that the village chief didn't try his best when he tried twice to stop him. He was probably thinking about keeping Hong Xiu.

The village chief's face darkened, and he grabbed Bai's mother fiercely: "Stop making trouble, we have already obtained the marriage certificate, you can't run away."

Bai's mother: "Really can't run away?"

Her son is still alive, Hong Xiu can't lose him.

The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's enough. He is a comrade-in-arms of the man in front of Hong Xiu. If he is really pushed into a corner, can we poor people defeat him?"

Besides, Hong Xiu had been married for three or four years and had not conceived a child. If his daughter-in-law could not get pregnant, he would have asked his son to divorce her and remarry.

He saw that the female soldier had a gun on her buttocks.

Chen Tang led Dai Yun all the way to the village entrance.

Dai Yun's eyes fell on the leather bag behind Shen Tang's waist. He bit his lip and wondered how he could skin those two old beasts alive!

Hong Xiu's injuries were very serious. After simple treatment, the four of them had to go to the county hospital.

After driving for nearly two hours, we finally arrived at the county.

Hong Xiu was sent directly to the emergency room.

Chen Tang paid the fee and sat in the corridor with Su Xiaoxiao and Dai Yun waiting.

Seeing Dai Yun anxiously looking at the emergency room, she suddenly asked, "Did you write the letter to the military district?"

The girl's back stiffened and she looked down at her tattered shoes: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Chen Tang walked over and gently touched her head, calming her nervousness: "Don't worry, my husband and your father are good friends. The reason why my husband didn't come is because he had to go on a mission. After he received your letter, he couldn't let you go, so I came here for him.

I think you can write to me and you should know my husband's name. You can call him Uncle He."

Dai Yun then looked up, and with red eyes, he asked tentatively: "Are you Uncle He Xu's wife?"

Chen Tang smiled and nodded, holding her hand and sitting on the stool next to her: "Now tell me, what happened to your mother?"
