Chapter 79: Face Sitting
on a chair in the reception room of Tongguan Town Police Station, Meng Changli was holding a cup of hot water to warm her hands.
It was a very cold day when the snow had melted. It was a ten-minute walk from the dormitory to the police station, but her hands were frozen like lumps of ice.
Meng Shulan was right next to her, always accompanying her sister.
There was no one in the reception room. Because of the snow, some staff members of the police station had asked for leave, so not many people were at work. And with a case like this happening, there were not enough people to handle the case.
The two sisters just sat on the chairs without saying anything.
After a while, crying and shouting were heard outside the reception room, and someone was calling Meng Changli's name.
It was Zhuang Bailu, she just came back from the health center.
Earlier, when Huang Jialin was taken away, the old couple of the Huang family rushed over, one of them fainted, and the other was frightened silly.
At that time, Meng Changli didn't care about the two of them and just followed the people from the police station.
Later she heard from others that Huang Yaozhong was sent to the health center, and Zhuang Bailu went to see what happened.
So, this was arranged over there, and Zhuang Bailu turned around and went back to the police station.
Zhuang Bailu's voice soon reached the door. She wanted to come in and talk to Meng Changli and plead with her.
As things have developed to this point, the old couple are clear about the situation on Huang Jialin's side.
There were people in the hall outside, including Gu Hansong, who stopped Zhuang Bailu from coming in.
Zhuang Bailu was shouting and talking outside, and began to persuade them earnestly.
The house was made of stones and bricks, so it was not soundproof. And the man was outside the door, so naturally the people inside could hear what he said.
At first, Zhuang Bailu said that this was a family matter and asked Meng Changli not to make it known to everyone and make a fool of herself.
If there is any problem, the family should sit down and discuss it properly. There is nothing that cannot be solved.
Obviously, Zhuang Bailu still retained a trace of pride at this time. Even if she bowed her head, it was not completely. She just did it out of necessity.
Meng Changli ignored her and just sat there silently no matter what she said.
Meng Shulan also ignored it. There was no need to say anything more. She just had to make sure her sister's attitude did not change.
Zhuang Bailu spoke for about ten minutes, and seeing that the people inside had no reaction, she knew that this would not work, so she changed the subject and talked about how miserable her life was, how the Huang family was an only-in-law family, and how difficult it was for her to give birth to this son, and how Meng Changli was not only trying to take her son's life, but hers as well.
Zhuang Bailu cried and shouted, and the layer of pride in her heart was finally torn off.
Meng Changli turned a deaf ear and waited for the results of the investigation.
Outside, Zhuang Bailu cried for a while, and then her voice gradually became quieter. After all, she was tired too.
But soon, cries of "Oh my God" were heard outside the window again.
This time it was not Zhuang Bailu, but Huang Yaozhong, who also ran over from the health center.
Although Huang Yaozhong had fainted before, his mind was quite clear, at least better than Zhuang Bailu's.
So after arriving, he didn't say anything nonsense, but knelt directly outside the window of the reception room and said to Meng Changli: "Changli, you are a good child. It is my poor parenting that has let Jialin down.
That beast deserves to die.
But Chang Li, I only have this one son, and I can do nothing about it. It took a lot of effort for the Huang family to get to this point, and today, the whole family will be destroyed. But it doesn't matter, it's Jia Lin's fault, I admit it. But Chang Li, don't kill him like this, leave him a chance to live, otherwise, after I, Huang Yaozhong, die, there won't even be anyone to hold the brazier."
Zhuang Bailu agreed after hearing this, "Yes, Chang Li, please leave us a chance to live. Listen to Jialin's words and give him a chance to explain and reform. I know my son well. He will never do anything to let you down. There must be some hidden story behind this..."
The two of them took turns to fight, one in front and one behind.
In the reception room, tears rolled down Meng Changli's cheeks, and it was obvious that she was not at peace either.
Meng Shulan quickly persuaded her.
"Sister, they are just pretending to be pitiful. The two of them came here in a hurry as soon as the road was opened today. It is obvious that they already knew about the matter between Huang Jialin and Jiang Tao.
Sister, the day you left, I went to Huang's house to look for you, and I happened to see two of them putting on their rain boots and getting ready to go out.
That day, they wanted to bring you back, but it snowed so heavily that they didn’t make it in time. Plus, there was a problem with the telephone in town, so they couldn’t notify us, which is why what happened today happened.”
Meng Shulan was really afraid that her sister would be persuaded by others like in her previous life, so she quickly explained the whole thing to her and saw through the Huang family's sinister hearts.
Meng Changli nodded, "I know, if I still don't know what's going on, then I'm really stupid.
I just…”
Meng Changli paused and said, "I just feel a little sad. I don't know how to tell my two daughters in the future."
The adult’s problem was solved, but what should she say when the two children asked about it?
Meng Shulan: "Good is good, evil is evil. Instead of letting Hui Na and Si Jia live in lies, it is better to let them distinguish right from wrong earlier, learn how to protect themselves, and avoid the same thing happening to them."
In the previous life, in such a depressing family environment, the two nieces were not happy.
Meng Changli was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her sister, "You are right, I will not be soft-hearted."
Yes, it is impossible to give them a complete family. A father who is both good in character and in study should at least let them know what is good or bad.
Meng Changli knew very well that her life was ruined. This was almost the end of her life and her marriage.
But the two daughters' lives have just begun. In order to prevent them from following his old path, he must see clearly the evil in this world and the badness of human hearts.
As for the rest, the worldly gossip and strange looks...
It’s nothing. She is just an ordinary person. She can take care of one thing but not the other. There is a limit to what she can do. She can only choose the path that she thinks is relatively correct. She cannot protect the overall situation.
Meng Changli opened the window behind her and said to Huang Yaozhong who was kneeling outside, "It's meaningless. You can lie with your eyes open, but I can't. So, stop working and leave quickly. What happened to Huang Jialin was all his own fault. You just said that he deserved it. In this case, why are you still kneeling outside to beg for mercy? It's useless to pretend. I won't buy it."
Meng Changli didn't want others to think she was hard-hearted because of Huang Yaozhong's self-torture, so she wanted to get rid of this man quickly.
Huang Yaozhong, who was kneeling outside, was stunned. He stared at Meng Changli with a pair of sinister eyes, and couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.
Is this still the daughter-in-law he knew? The Meng family, Meng Changli, is this still the person he chose for his son after comparing many options?
Yesterday was a special case, so I will update at noon from now on~ (End of this chapter)
