Chapter 34: Learn that the Xu family has a hereditary mental illness
"What? You're not going?" Zhong Hong stood up quickly, staring holes into Zhong Xiaohua with her eyes.
Zhong Xiaohua clenched her chopsticks tightly, feeling uneasy and not even daring to raise her eyes. However, she mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, you didn't tell me that this position originally belonged to Sister Zhong Qiao. Sister Zhong Qiao has children to raise now."
She looked up at Zhong Hong, her voice growing weaker.
"Can we return this position to Sister Zhong Qiao?"
"return?"
Zhong Hong was so angry that she almost died. She pointed at Zhong Xiaohua's head and cursed her in frustration.
"Zhong Qiao left on her own accord, what the hell is it to you? I worked so hard to find you a good job that no one else could get even by begging, and you, a spineless bitch, are going to give it back to her?"
Zhong Xiaohua didn't dare to say a word.
"Dream on!"
Zhong Hong slammed her chopsticks on the table and said without question, "You've lost your job. I'm telling you, you don't have to go home. You might as well just die out there. We in the Zhong family will just pretend you don't exist."
Zhong Xiaohua's heart tightened, her face turned pale, and she hummed very lightly, not daring to mention the matter again.
On the other side, police station personnel were taking statements from everyone present one by one.
The leaders who were beaten had droopy faces and cried about their bad luck, especially the injured Accountant Chen. She was the youngest and was quite frightened. Her parents rushed to comfort her as soon as they received a notice from the police station.
When Zhong Qiao arrived, the female comrade who was taking the statement looked up and asked, "Name?"
"Zhong Qiao."
"What does this have to do with the beating and the Jinxing Machinery Factory?"
Zhong Qiao lowered her eyes and said, "The one who beat me up is my ex-husband's eldest brother. I used to work at Jinxing Machinery Factory, and I'm here to ask for my wages."
After asking a few more questions, the female comrade frowned and tapped the table with her index finger, feeling a little troubled.
"Comrade Zhong Qiao, Xu Xiucheng has nothing to do with the Jinxing Machinery Factory, but he has an inseparable connection with you. According to the law, we can temporarily detain you."
Zhong Qiao raised her head and her expression changed slightly, but the female comrade who was taking the statement signaled her to calm down.
"But we have verified that you are indeed divorced from the Xu family, so Xu Xiucheng will be detained. After the victim Zhou Qiang wakes up, we will make appropriate compensation and coordinate. You can go back, but if the police station contacts you later, you must report the situation to us immediately."
"We will definitely cooperate." Zhong Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The female comrade gave Zhong Qiao another meaningful look. After a moment, she slowly said, "Comrade Zhong Qiao, are you aware that Xu Xiucheng and Zhou Ping have a mild form of schizophrenia that runs in their family?"
Zhong Qiao was stunned, and then a chill went from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if the whole world was spinning because of these words.
Does schizophrenia run in the family?
From the time she married into the Xu family and gave birth to two children, she never knew that the Xu family had a mild hereditary schizophrenia.
In his previous life, Xu Xiucheng was about 38 years old and finally married a middle-aged woman, but his behavior became a little abnormal after marriage.
It is said that he often talked to himself facing the wall, and once he inexplicably ran naked onto the main road to chase a truck and was almost run over to death.
Afterwards, everyone asked him what happened, and Xu Xiucheng answered in a daze that he saw a headless ghost waving at him on the road, and he chased after it uncontrollably, and it felt like his body was not his own.
At that time, she also asked Xu Shaojun what happened. Xu Shaojun hesitated and replied that Xu Xiucheng encountered a ghost while fishing at night and was shocked, so he believed it to be true.
It turns out that it wasn't a ghost.
Rather, the Xu family has a family history of schizophrenia, and some children are likely to develop the disease when they reach a certain age.
Zhong Qiao's face gradually turned pale, and he suddenly thought of Zhong Siwan who was still in his infancy.
Wanwan is still so young, and there's a high probability that the family's genetic disease will be passed on to the next generation...
Zhong Qiao took a deep breath, and her hand under the table slowly tightened, gradually clenching into a fist. Her nails dug deep into the flesh, drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.
Xu Shaojun, you really deserve to die.
He lied to her again and again.
It's been a lie from beginning to end.
The female comrade taking the statement noticed Zhong Qiao's increasingly pale face and tentatively asked, "Comrade Zhong Qiao, you've been married to the Xu family for a year and a half... You wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
Zhong Qiao came back to his senses.
She felt as if there was a layer of cotton in her throat, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
After a long while, Zhong Qiao calmed down and shook his head with difficulty: "I have no idea."
The female comrade who was taking the statement couldn't help but feel a bit of pity and guessed that it was about 80% correct.
This girl looks no more than 20 years old and has a child. She probably doesn't know how treacherous people are and thinks marriage and dating are too simple.
In order to get married, men can lie at any time. Even if they have no advantages, in order to pass on the family line, any mediocre man can be labeled as "honest", "down-to-earth" and "stable". The purpose of doing this is to deceive the next unlucky person.
Obviously, Zhong Qiao is one of these unlucky guys.
"Alright, we won't be using you for anything else for now." The woman held her forehead helplessly and waved her hand. "We've roughly understood the situation here, you can go back."
Zhong Qiao's mind was in a mess at this time. He nodded absentmindedly, dragged the chair away very slowly, and walked out with half of his body feeling cold.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong finished taking the statement first and were already waiting at the door. When they saw Zhong Qiao coming out in a daze, they immediately went to greet him.
"Qiao Qiao, how is it? Can I let you go back?"
Zhong Qiao didn't respond as if he was deaf.
"Qiao Qiao, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking? You're making us so anxious!" Mother Zhong shook her anxiously.
Old Li was eavesdropping on the side.
Hearing this, he looked a little ashamed and thought that when the female comrade in charge of taking the statement came out, he would definitely help and say a few good words for her.
Accountant Chen was sobbing on the side, his face full of hatred. He blamed Zhong Qiao for the misfortune he had suffered this time!
I couldn't help but sneer out loud: "God has mercy on me, evil will be punished, it's best if you can't go back, I'll lock you up for ten days to half a month."
Mother Zhong frowned: "Hey, you little girl——"
But the next second, Zhong Qiao grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Okay, Mom, let's go back first. Wanwan is still waiting for us at home."
She can't wait to go back and see her daughter.
Mother Zhong looked away, her tone somewhat complaining: "You finally said something definite. I thought you couldn't go back."
Father Zhong frowned: "Wanwan, it's this little girl who made you look like this now. In my opinion, give that child a -"
He didn't dare to say the rest of the words, but Zhong Qiao understood the meaning of his words.
Nowadays, there are many families who cannot have children and want to raise them. However, in 1976, the laws were not very complete and the supervision was not in place. Some families gave birth to girls and thought they were a loss of money. They either threw the children into the river to drown or sold them to others.
Zhong Qiao is a female college student in her twenties. After this scandal, if she wants to "turn over a new leaf", she can only give her child to someone else to raise. This is a unique idea of this era.
Zhong Qiao shook his head and said firmly, "No, Wanwan is my daughter. I will never allow anyone to take her away from me."
Mr. Zhong was so disappointed in his son, but because Zhong Qiao was still in confinement after giving birth, he endured it and had nothing to say.
"Okay, let's go home first." Father Zhong sighed, thinking a lot in his mind.
Zhong Qiao nodded softly, still thinking about Wanwan.
When Accountant Chen saw that Zhong Qiao was able to return home safely, his eyes immediately turned red with anger. He cried to the female comrades who came out behind him, "I am so miserable today because of Zhong Qiao and the Xu family. How can you let her go so easily?"
The female comrade frowned and scolded him harshly, "Comrade, please don't make a loud noise in the police station. This decision was ordered by our superiors. We are just doing our job. Besides, Xu Xiucheng is already in our custody. What else do you want? Are you going to chase him down and fight him back?"
"What orders from above? I think you are either abusing your power for personal gain! Or you have someone powerful behind you!" Accountant Chen was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and his already disheveled face became even more ferocious due to the intense anger.
The people present at the police station looked a little unhappy.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Wen Yijin, who had remained silent, spoke.
"Chen Xiu." Wen Yijin glanced at Accountant Chen and slowly shook his head, his eyes containing an indescribable warning.
Accountant Chen was stunned, as if he understood something. He stared at Zhong Qiao with complicated and fearful eyes for a while, then turned his head away and dared not say a word.
The Xu family is in trouble.
Except for Xu Lili who did not take any action, Zhou Ping and Xu Xiucheng, as accomplices, were all rudely thrown in and temporarily detained.
Xu Lili was panicked and hurried to inform Xu Shaojun.
Zhou Ping grabbed the iron railings, his mouth full of blood, but he did not forget to roar at the backs of the Zhong family at the top of his lungs, his eyes looking as if he wanted to eat Zhong Qiao alive.
Of course, no one except herself could understand what she was saying.
The female lesbian who passed by and turned back: ...
Why does it feel like the curse is very dirty?
