…
The next room,
It was a small room of less than 10 square meters. There was no electricity and only a weak kerosene lamp was lit in the room.
Liu Xiaojuan was lying on the bed still wearing the clothes she wore when she came back from school.
She curled up at the innermost part of the kang, pressed tightly against the wall, her eyes red and swollen, her gaze like a pool of stagnant water.
She cried and made a fuss, but unfortunately her parents' words hurt her the most.
All she lost was her status as a college student, and her life was ruined because she couldn't call him "big brother".
But what did she do wrong?
She studied hard in order to get out of the mountains.
I was about to leave the mountain village, graduating in just one year and getting a stable job in the city...
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaojuan closed her eyes and kept banging her head against the wall, trying to use this method to make a futile protest.
At this moment,
A familiar voice called out from outside the yard.
"Xiaojuan!"
"Xiaojuan!"
Liu Xiaojuan suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned when she heard the voices of Chu Yun and Zhao Ting.
Then, tears began to fall.
She hurriedly climbed out of bed and responded hoarsely, "I'm here!"
Liu Xiaojuan wanted to open the door and go out, but unfortunately the door was locked from the outside. Her red eyes kept blinking.
"Xiaoyun, Zhao Ting, I'm here..."
Outside the courtyard,
The Liu couple looked at the group of people who broke in with vigilance.
Naturally, they also heard their daughter's voice.
These people should be acquainted with my daughter.
Chu Yun and Zhao Ting heard Xiaojuan's cry for help and hurried to the room where she was.
"What are you doing? This is our family affair..."
Liu's mother wanted to step forward to stop them, but was pushed by Zhao Ting and staggered.
Seeing this, Father Liu sighed and said, "You insist on robbing me. We old couple can't beat you, but your behavior is illegal. We can call the police."
Fang Ze smiled, took out his police ID and showed it to me, then said:
"Don't bother, old man. I'm the police. You can tell us what's going on here. We can all figure it out together. Why would you bother a little girl?"
Father Liu stared at the police ID and his expression changed. He nodded politely, "So it's a police officer."
But he was not afraid. It was his family's business and the police had no right to interfere in who his daughter married.
Just treat it as a temporary disturbance and send the person away.
On this side, Zhao Ting kicked the door open with two bangs.
When Liu Xiaojuan saw that it was really her good friends who came to rescue her, all the fear and grievances that she had suppressed these days came up and she threw herself into their arms and started crying.
Chu Yun patted her on the back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. No matter what happens, we can solve it together."
Zhao Ting couldn't help but get angry when she saw the man's disheveled clothes and messy hair.
He looked at the parents angrily, "Other families would be so lucky to have a college student, but why are you ruining her future? If Xiaojuan has a promising future, you will also enjoy the happiness, so why are you doing this to her!"
After hearing this, Liu's mother couldn't stop crying.
She collapsed on the ground, slapping her legs and crying, "If there was no other way, how could we be in this situation? My son bravely stood up for justice, but he received a severe punishment. That family won't let us go. What can we ordinary people do?"
When Father Liu heard his wife say this, he angrily shouted, "Why are you saying this? These young people can't help at all. They're just adding to the chaos."
Mother Liu shrank back at the yelling, shedding tears as she said, "I can't bear to leave my daughter. There might be police officers among these people who can help. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, there's no point in letting Xiaojuan suffer."
When Liu Xiaojuan heard her mother's words, her eyelids twitched, but she hugged Chu Yun even tighter.
Chu Yun patted the person in her arms to comfort him, frowning and saying, "First, explain the whole thing clearly. Otherwise, if you keep it hidden, we won't be able to help you even if we want to."
Father Liu looked at them with some suspicion, while Mother Liu couldn't wait to get up and talked about this matter while wiping her tears.
My son was coming back from his night shift when he saw a hooligan harassing a girl on a small road. The girl cried and shouted for help, so my son stepped forward to help.
It turned out that the opponent was the youngest son of the factory director. The doctor said that his vital organs were damaged. The factory director was furious, and my son was sued and sentenced to a heavy punishment.
I thought the matter was over, but the factory director sent people to my house to smash things. When he accidentally saw the photo Xiaojuan sent back from Beijing, he insisted that my daughter marry their son.
Otherwise, he would try to kill Xiaojuan's elder brother and cause us two old people to have an accident. He also said he would go to Xiaojuan's university to cause trouble...
Later in the story, Liu's mother broke down in tears and choked up as she said, "My husband and I went to see our son once. He was beaten beyond recognition and had to be carried on a stretcher. It was said that he had been hungry for several days... We had no other choice but to ask Xiaojuan to come back. At least we could have saved his eldest brother's life."
"How ridiculous! He's just a small factory director, and he's completely lawless. And you're just going to compromise like that? There are many officials higher up than him, so why don't you file a complaint?"
Zhao Ting asked angrily.
Although their difficulties are understandable, going in to save their son with their daughter is like pushing their daughter into the fire.
Father Liu sighed and took over the conversation, "The factory director has connections. How can ordinary people like us stand up to him? Our neighborhood is under constant surveillance. I'm afraid something will happen the moment we leave the house."
Zhao Ting choked, gritted her teeth and said nothing more.
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. These local snakes don’t think of themselves as local kings.
