Suzhou folded up the newspaper, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, let's go to my house."
Chi Yin blinked in surprise, "Why are you going to your house?"
Su Zhou said as if it was a matter of course, "Just sleep for a night. Do you really want to spend two dollars to stay in a hotel?"
That's true. Money is something that can be avoided if it can be avoided. If it must be spent, try to spend as little as possible. However, Chi Yin asked a little embarrassedly, "Who are the people in your family? It's not good for me to go to your house like this."
"What's wrong with that? You're already married, so what are you afraid of?"
Chi Yin nodded, thinking that it made some sense.
Chi Yin followed Su Zhou and walked slowly towards Changfeng Mountain. On the way, they met a man selling buns. Chi Yin spent one dollar to buy four buns with sauerkraut stuffing. The two of them ate as they walked.
Su Zhou's home was on the first floor of a tube-shaped building. He pushed the door open and went in. The 30-square-meter house looked empty because there was no furniture.
Su Zhou pulled down the light cord, and the dim light filled the room. Chi Yin was attracted by two side-by-side black photo frames hanging on the wall. The people in the photo frames were wearing old-fashioned police uniforms, and their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Su Zhou.
Su Zhou explained to her, "Those were my parents. When I was about two or three years old, my dad was stabbed to death by a drug addict, and my mom was beaten to death by a thief who had been caught in revenge."
...
...
"Is there no one else in your family?"
"No, except for me. After my parents died, I lived in an orphanage. When I grew up, I joined the army. After I was discharged, I started doing this business."
When talking about his parents, there was an unshakable sadness in Su Zhou's eyes.
Chi Yin sensed that he was in a bad mood, so she stopped asking.
But I couldn't help but look at him a few more times in my heart, and couldn't help but sigh that if his parents were still alive, his life as a member of a police family would definitely be better than it is now.
Su Zhou poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Chi Yin. Chi Yin took it and felt her energy restored after drinking the water. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"What do you want to eat? I see there's noodles here, how about cooking some for us?"
Su Zhou thought of the fingers that had touched the corner of his clothes yesterday. They were as white as jade and the nails were as pink as flower petals. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and ask her, "You don't look like a kitchen person, but you can cook?"
Chi Yin poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a faint smile, "Not only can I cook, my two daughters love the food I cook."
What? Not only are they married, but they also have two children?
Su Zhou looked surprised.
To be honest, he didn't feel at all that Chi Yin was a married woman with two children. She was beautiful, had a good figure, and fair skin. Who wouldn't think she was a little girl when seeing her?
Chi Yin started to make trouble in Su Zhou's kitchen.
Although Su Zhou was a real city dweller, his parents died early and his family was penniless. He built a simple stove with a few stones. He probably didn't like to cook, so the iron pot on the stove was rusted.
Chi Yin picked up dry firewood and stuffed it under the stove. She lit the firewood with a match. While the fire was getting stronger, she poured water into the iron pot and rubbed the rust off the pot with an iron brush.
The kitchen was filled with smoke, and Su Zhou had no idea what Chi Yin was doing. At work, he was either catching thieves or smugglers. He was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart, so he half-lay in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I vaguely smelled the fragrance of noodles, and my stomach instantly tightened.
Su Zhou slowly opened his eyes and saw Chi Yin coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.
Chi Yin held up the bowl and handed it to Su Zhou, "Come, try my cooking."
Su Zhou sat up and took it. He saw that there was only noodles but no meat in the bowl. However, it smelled so delicious that it made him salivate. Moreover, his bowl was full, while Chi Yin's bowl only had half a bowl.
Chi Yin was afraid that he would not eat well, so she comforted him, "I've eaten some buns and I'm not that hungry. You have to eat more to have energy to catch thieves and run around during the day."
Su Zhou didn't say anything, but a warm feeling passed through his heart.
Chi Yin moved a stool, placed the bowl on it and squatted down to eat. While eating, she said, "You too, you don't even have a table to eat at home. You're not poor, but you don't look like one. The bachelors in our rural villages know how to live better than you."
After she finished her nagging, she smiled and said, "But it's okay, I'll clean up for you later, and even if there's no table, I'll set one up for you."
Su Zhou ate while looking at Chi Yin and thought her smile was gentle and very pretty.
After eating, Su Zhou half-lay in the chair and took a light nap. When he closed his eyes, he was thinking that this house would only feel like home if there was a woman.
Chi Yin has become accustomed to cleaning the house. After eating, she washes the dishes and rolls up her sleeves to get to work. There is no dust in Su Zhou's house, so she can clean it within an hour.
The next morning, Su Zhou got up early and went to work to ask for a day off, then took Chi Yin to the court.
The two men walked quickly, taking a shortcut, and went straight to the judge's office who often dealt with Su Zhou when they arrived at the court.
The man was very happy to see Su Zhou leading a beautiful young woman. "Xiao Su, you are doing great things quietly. When will you find someone to date?"
Su Zhou touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Aunt Li, you misunderstood. This is my friend. I came here with her to ask you about filing for divorce."
Chi Yin quickly handed over the divorce agreement in the plastic bag and said apologetically, "Sorry to bother you at work. This is the agreement I wrote earlier. The man didn't want to sign it, so I thought about taking the prosecution procedure."
Then she took out the police receipt and handed it to Aunt Li, "This is evidence of domestic violence. Do you think it's enough to write a complaint?"
Aunt Li took it and read it for a while, then looked at Chi Yin with appreciation, "Very good, the most critical step in filing for divorce is to collect evidence. Your evidence is much better than the testimony of the neighbor's witness."
Su Zhou frowned after hearing this. He didn't expect Chi Yin to suffer domestic violence.
Chi Yin was immediately overjoyed. "Then can you apply for a personal safety protection order for me? I know that a divorce lawsuit takes at least three months to be concluded. For a case like mine involving child custody, the trial time may be longer. I don't want the man to harass or contact us during this period."
Aunt Li nodded. "You have done your homework. Yes, if the man does commit harassing and violent acts, you can apply to the court for protection."
At this moment, a colleague was waiting at the door with documents, apparently dealing with urgent matters.
After Aunt Li glanced at the door, she picked up a pen and paper and wrote a few lines on the notebook, then handed it to Chi Yin, "Well, go to the legal advisory office on the second floor, and my colleagues will help you with the indictment and protection order."
Chi Yin looked at the paper with the introduction information written on it. She was very grateful and bowed deeply to Aunt Li, "Thank you for your help."
Aunt Li smiled and nodded slightly, praising Chi Yin's behavior from the bottom of her heart. It was very common for men to beat their wives these days, and it was rare to see cases of divorce filed for domestic violence. Chi Yin not only had the courage to divorce but also called the police to get a receipt. She was really wise.
