Chapter 220: Three full pages, all expressing concerns about his wife

When Bai Laizi was arrested, Bai's mother cried bitterly and cursed the two policemen: "My sister works for the government. If you dare to arrest my son, I will tell my sister and ask your leaders for an explanation."

"Old lady, even if you have relatives working in the government, your son has violated the law by nearly beating your daughter-in-law to death. He must come with us."

"I don't care. I don't understand anything. I just know that Hong Xiu is my daughter-in-law. My son can beat her if he wants. I spent fifty dollars to marry her, and she even brought a burden with her. I even support her burden. What's wrong with my son hitting her twice? She is a barren widow, and she still has the nerve to call the police. There is no law. I will sue. I want the Lord of Heaven to make the decision for me. Why can't I beat the daughter-in-law I married with money..."

The two policemen were filled with anger when they heard this: "Old lady, please be reasonable. Even if you are the daughter-in-law, your son can't just beat her like that. Besides, she was pregnant at the time, and you beat her baby to death with your own hands."

Bai's mother was stunned: "Ah, can she get pregnant?"

After Hong Xiu was taken away, she and Bai Laizi became worried and could not eat, for fear that Hong Xiu would run away.

The two were just trying to find a way to go to the city to have a look when two policemen arrived.

During this period of time, the two of them did not notice that Hong Xiu's mattress was covered in red blood.

A few villagers did see it and talked about it in private, but the time was too short for it to reach the ears of Bai Mu and Bai Lai Zi.

Bai's mother thought that if Hong Xiu could get pregnant, she could not let her daughter-in-law run away.

My son finally got married to such a beautiful wife. Won’t he give her an even more beautiful grandson in the future?

Bai Laizi was shocked: "How is that possible? I just had sex with my wife last night and she's not pregnant."

Last night Hong Xiu said she was not feeling well, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Hong Xiu was beaten by him so often, it would be strange if she felt comfortable.

But for women, it’s enough to be useful.

He doesn't care whether she feels pain or not.

Unexpectedly, Hong Xiu was pregnant?

"That, that child..."

Seeing that he looked shocked but showed no remorse, the policeman said coldly, "You beat him to death."

Bai Laizi burst into tears.

That was the child he had been thinking about for a long time!

With his ability, it must be a boy. He should have had an offspring!

Bai Laizi cried miserably, but no one sympathized with him except his mother. The two policemen handcuffed him and left.

The village chief was very worried. If someone in the village went to jail, it would be known far and wide.

It is likely that his term as village chief will come to an end.

Seeing the two men about to leave the village, the village chief quickly took out the cigarettes he had treasured for a long time and rushed over to stop the two policemen: "Comrade police, wait a moment."

He offered the cigarette to the two men, but both policemen were not smokers and refused it outright.

The village chief then asked how many days Bai Laizi would be detained, whether he would be sentenced, and how severe the sentence would be.

The two policemen looked at each other and had to admit that the village chief was quite smart.

However, since the two had promised Chen Tang, they directly said vaguely: “The matter has not been concluded yet, and we don’t know how to judge it for the time being. It also depends on Comrade Hong Xiu’s opinion.”

The village chief wanted to ask more, but when he saw that the two policemen were obviously impatient, he had to give way.

The people who were most affected by Bai Laizi's arrest were the people in the village.

They probably won't be able to win the title of outstanding team this year.

This concerns the food supply of every household.

For a moment, everyone lost their favorable attitude towards Bai's mother.

The men who beat their wives at home also changed their expressions and quickly stopped.

I thought what the female soldier said that day was just a scare tactic, but I didn't expect that she would actually go to jail.

Chen Tang didn't know what the villagers thought. She bought dinner and took it to the ward. Hong Xiu had already woken up.

To her surprise, Hong Xiu was arguing with Su Xiaoxiao again!

Hong Xiu struggled to get up, but Su Xiaoxiao held her down with one hand. Dai Yun kept persuading her mother, but to no avail.

"Mom, what's so good about that beast? Do you have to follow him? He doesn't even treat you as a human being. If it weren't for him, how could the baby in your belly be gone?"

Hong Xiu shed tears: "But he is still your father after all. Only he can accept you."

Su Xiaoxiao: "It's not that I want you to give birth to a son for him, and then I want you to sell him for the bride price when he grows up."

Hong Xiu shook his head: "No, he treated me very well before, always letting me work on the ground, and he was also good to Yunyun..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "After all, he's counting on you to give birth to a baby for him."

Hong Xiu: "You don't understand. Don't talk nonsense. If he didn't marry me, where else would I go? If I go back to my parents' home, my mother will ask me to marry again. Who knows where I'll end up in the mountains..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Then don't go back. It won't be worse than marrying the one you have now."

Hong Xiu felt that it was impossible to communicate clearly with this person and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

She struggled to get out of bed, wanting to go back and explain things to her husband so that he wouldn't get angry and beat her again.

But the woman next to her was surprisingly strong. She couldn't get up when her hands were held down. She was so angry that tears streamed down her face.

When Chen Tang walked into the ward, Su Xiaoxiao quickly withdrew her hand and explained calmly, "She insisted on getting up."

Hong Xiu was a little timid. Seeing Chen Tang in military uniform, he asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Chen Tang walked over and sat beside her bed, showing a gentle smile that was just right: "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Chen Tang, and I am the wife of Comrade Dai Sheng's comrade He Xu. This time I also received your letter and came to see how you are doing."

"A letter? I didn't write a letter..." She seemed to have thought of something and glared at her daughter angrily: "Yunyun, how could you rummage through my cabinet?"

She kept all the letters that Dai Sheng had written to her at the bottom of the box. That was the only thing she could take away from the Dai family.

The people in the Dai family could not understand the words. They only knew that there was no money in the envelope, but they did not know that it was filled with Dai Sheng's arrangements and instructions for her.

The suicide note not only told her who she could turn to when she encountered difficulties, but also hoped that if he died in an accident, she would find someone suitable to remarry and not delay him.

The three full sheets of paper were filled with his concerns about her.

The most precious thing to Hong Xiu was this letter, and even Dai Yun would not let him touch it.

Dai Yun was only seven years old and had never been to primary school. It was only thanks to her instruction at home and two years of free teaching in the village that she was able to understand a few words.

At such a young age, she didn't have a pen, so she practiced writing on the ground with a branch. She also relied on the little knowledge of herbs she learned from the barefoot doctor in the village, and went up the mountain to dig herbs every day. She saved money for nearly a year before she was able to write four letters.

Seeing her guilty look, Hong Xiu knew what she was thinking. She was angry that her daughter was ignorant and actually asked the military district to come. However, she was moved that she had always protected her. She hugged the child and cried, "Mom is sorry for you."

Chen Tang said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, don't cry first, your body is already exhausted, and crying again will be bad for your health."

Dai Yun wiped away her mother's tears and said in a childish voice, "Mom, don't cry. Divorce him. At worst, I will support you. I have learned a lot about herbs from Grandpa Zhang. I will dig herbs to support you in the future."

Hong Xiu burst into laughter and said, "You only have those herbs because you are young and out of pity. How can you afford to support me?"

Dai Yun was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't want to provoke his mother anymore, so he could only puff up his skinny face and swallow his words of rebuttal.

Chen Tang put the food box away and let Hong Xiu eat first.

Seeing that Hong Xiu didn't seem to want to get a divorce, she wondered how to resolve the matter quickly.
