Chapter 222: Jail or Divorce

Shen Tang took two stools and sat down with Su Xiaoxiao.

The village chief also wanted to sit when he saw it, after all, traveling was really tiring.

But when he looked around, he found that there were only two wide chairs for their buttocks in the ward, and the rest were some small stools.

The village chief's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart that it was a double room, but there wasn't even a stool. Wouldn't it make the person feel a head shorter than they actually were if they sat on this short stool?

Chen Tan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he saw a group of grown men sitting on low stools, like black toads.

There were definitely high stools, but they were moved away by Xiaoxiao and replaced with two low stools.

Chen Tang took off the gun-shaped leather holster from his waist and placed it on the table. That casual action scared the village chief into a cold sweat.

He smiled wryly and said, "Comrade soldier, I know that Bai Laizi has gone too far, but he and Hong Xiu are husband and wife, and they are a family. They will definitely live a good life in the future. You see, why don't you let Bai Laizi out? You can rest assured that if Bai Laizi dares to hit Hong Xiu in the future, you don't have to do anything. I will teach this nephew a lesson myself!"

Chen Tang tapped the table with his fingertips and said nonchalantly, "Village Chief, if you had this intention at the beginning, Comrade Hong Xiu wouldn't have been beaten so badly, and Bai Laizi wouldn't have been arrested by the police, right?"

The village chief sighed with a guilty look on his face: "Yes, I am not doing my job well as the village chief, but comrade soldiers, beating women in the countryside is common. Every household in our Dahe Village has gone through this. I, a grown man, can't always keep an eye on what's going on in my nephew's room, right?"

Chen Tang nodded: "Yes, so as the village chief, you can't even control your own nephew, which shows how inadequate your work as a village chief is. I also want to ask the captain of your village, how did you choose the village chief?"

The captain next to him seemed very worried. He searched his pockets and was about to smoke a cigarette, but Su Xiaoxiao coldly reminded him that smoking was not allowed in the hospital, so he had to endure it.

Although he is the team leader of the village, he has never gotten along with the village chief. When such a big thing happened in the village chief's family, he was happy in his heart, but he just pretended to be happy on the surface.

But after all, they were from the same village, and Bai Laizi's imprisonment was related to the collective interests. He did not speak on Chen Tang's side, but only said vaguely: "The village chief is elected, and everyone in Dahe Village has the surname Bai."

Village Chief Bai was so angry that he elbowed him. Is this the time to quarrel?

If Bai Lazi goes to jail, the village's reputation will be ruined.

Which girl would dare to marry into this family in the future? How would their daughters marry out?

And the team’s outstanding title and annual rewards will all be gone!

The captain was hit by an elbow, and his dark brows knitted. He said with a kindly tone, "Comrade female soldier, it's really too much to call the police. Bai Laizi grew up under our care, and his family is a poor peasant. He married a wife for three or four years but didn't give birth to a child. Not to mention that Bai Laizi couldn't help hitting people, even we, the elders, have opinions.

Of course! It is wrong for Bai Laizi to hit someone. How about this? When Bai Laizi comes out, let him kneel down in front of Hong Xiu and kowtow to admit his mistake, and promise not to do it again next time. How about living happily together in the future?"

Hong Xiu, who was lying on the bed, moved, but before she could say anything, she heard Chen Tang put the porcelain cup heavily on the table.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were cold and arrogant, with a cold and sharp look: "Captain, you are used to having the final say in the village, and you have brought these habits to the outside world. Bai Laizi has violated the law and has been escorted to the cell by the police. Do you think this is just a family conflict?"

The captain had also seen many "big shots", and when he saw the aura of Chen Tang, the "superior", he couldn't help but shrink back in his heart, and stammered: "Then, then what do you think?"

Chen Tang curled his lips coldly: "Either divorce or go to jail!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Bai's mother had been held back by the women around her. When she heard that Hong Xiu wanted a divorce, she could no longer suppress her temper and rushed out. She was concerned about Su Xiaoxiao's strength, so she took two steps and saw that the people behind her would not stop her. She stopped decisively and stood in the middle, cursing, "Don't even think about getting a divorce! I spent money to marry my wife, and if she doesn't give me a grandson, don't even think about getting a divorce!"

Hong Xiu was crying in her quilt, while Dai Yun was comforting her.

Chen Tang said calmly, "Then there is no way out. If we don't divorce, Comrade Hong Xiu won't issue a letter of forgiveness, and Bai Laizi will have to go to jail."

Bai's mother looked panicked and turned to look at the people behind her. No one in Dahe Village wanted to pay attention to her.

She was so flustered, but still said stubbornly: "Even if Lai Zi goes to jail, we won't get divorced!"

Chen Tang said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Bai Laizi attacked a pregnant woman. Even if you refuse to divorce, we will file a lawsuit in court. The marriage is settled. It will only take a month or two longer. I just don't know how many years Bai Laizi will be sentenced to in prison for intentional injury."

"What is a court?"

“I don’t know.”

"So if we have this, we will have to get divorced even if we don't want to?"

The people in Dahe Village were talking about it in private, but only the team leader's face changed. The court was just reopened a while ago. Although it was not in their city, he had heard about it because it was close.

The captain was not well-informed. Although he knew that the court was a place for lawsuits, he did not know whether he could file a divorce lawsuit there.

He had heard that there was a lawsuit there a while ago, and everyone from high-ranking officials in the city to the village captain were sent to prison.

No matter how big or small the official is, he cannot withstand investigation. The team leader is used to having the final say in the village. Although he did not embezzle a lot, he did embezzle some money after all. If other troubles arise because of Bai Laizi and Hong Xiu's divorce, he will be finished.

The captain said, "Third sister-in-law, stop making trouble. Let's go back and discuss it first."

Bai's mother refused to listen and tried to make trouble. All the curses she uttered were covered by the village chief's hands and she was dragged out.

When they got outside the hospital, Bai's mother bit the man who was covering her mouth, pointed at the captain and yelled, "What are you doing? I'm telling you, I will never let my son get divorced, and he won't go to jail. If you don't help us, I'll go to the county and make trouble. I'll see what you can do!"

"You!" The captain glared at her with his old eyes, and was so angry that his heart felt uncomfortable: "Stupid woman, shut up."

Bai's mother: "How dare you scold me!"

The village chief said with a serious face: "Well, is it not embarrassing enough?"

Bai's mother's eyes were red, and she sat down on the ground: "Then what do you say? I don't care, but my son can't go to jail!"

The captain swallowed hard and said, "Then let's get a divorce."

Bai's mother kicked her legs and threw a tantrum: "I won't divorce you either!"

The village chief also disagreed with the divorce: "If Bai Laizi gets divorced, won't he be single from now on?"

The captain couldn't stand these two idiots anymore: "Then tell me what to do."

The village chief lowered his head and smoked. After a long while, a ruthless light flashed in his old triangular eyes: "Then go and beg!"

Just as Bai's mother was about to speak, he glared back at her.

"If I don't beg, will Lai Zi really go to jail? Besides, don't you know Hong Xiu? She is too soft-hearted. If you beg her twice more, she will definitely be soft-hearted. After those two soldiers leave, you will have the final say on what Hong Xiu wants to do."

Bai's mother thought about it and felt that it was true.

Just beg me, and when Hong Xiu lets Bai Laizi come back, she will make that little bitch Hong Xiu pay the price!
