Chapter 115

The person who was beaten at work was Granny Wang’s son Pang Jianjun, and the girl who was beaten was Granny Wang’s youngest daughter Pang Jianping.

Pang Jianping was married, but she had not been pregnant for two years. Her husband's family said she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and her husband beat her with fists and kicks. Pang Jianping ran back to her parents' home with injuries all over her body several times and did not dare to go back.

But Pang Jianjun didn't want to take her in because he thought she was taking up space at home. He didn't like her and would beat her up when she drank too much.

Grandma Wang felt sorry for her daughter, but she couldn't stop her son. Poor Pang Jianping was beaten by her husband at her husband's house, and was beaten by her brother when she hid in her parents' house.

Hu Qiaoyue couldn't bear it anymore, so she would ask Pang Jianping to go to her home for a while, and wait until Pang Jianjun sobered up before going back.

It's still daylight now, and Pang Jianjun has already drunk too much.

Hearing someone shouting to stop, Pang Jianjun raised a pair of blood-red eyes and stared at Gu Qia: "Mind your own business and get out of here."

Little did he know that the young man in front of him had experienced bullets and bullets on the front line and had performed the most dangerous missions. , the heart is already indestructible. Even though he was injured and confined to a wheelchair, he was able to subdue the knife-wielding gangster with his bare hands. How could a fat drunkard like Pang Jianjun catch Gu Qia's eyes?

"Let her go." Gu Qia said with a sullen face, clenching his fists and striding forward.

"Where did you come from, little red guy..." Pang Jianjun kicked Pang Jianping away and rushed towards Gu Qia with his fists raised.

But the next second, a muffled sound was heard, and Pang Jianjun fell to the ground, screaming as he fell. While shouting, he still refused to accept it, got up and rushed towards Gu Qia again.

Everyone could see clearly this time. Gu Qia blocked his fist and swept his right leg away. Pang Jianjun fell to the ground again.

This time, Gu Qiake didn't give him a chance and pushed him directly to the ground. He twisted his hands and tied them behind his back. He pressed his knees against him so hard that he couldn't move.

"Hitting a woman is nothing!" Gu Qia hated this kind of person the most in his life. He twisted his hand hard and said, "Hit me if you can."

Pang Jianjun was in pain, his face turned red, he held his neck and screamed: " Who are you? This is my family matter. I don’t want you..."

Before the last word could be spoken, Gu Qia raised his palms and slapped him hard on his fat head. Pang Jianjun was immediately beaten to pieces.

He smelled blood. I also saw a drop of blood falling on the soil in front of me.

"Someone is killed -" he screamed and fainted.

"Useless thing!" Gu Qia threw him away and patted the dirt on his body with disdain, "I thought it was so horizontal that I couldn't bear a palm, haha."

Over there, Granny Wang had already pounced on Pang Jianjun: "Jianjun, you How are you? Are you hurt?"

Pang Jianjun regained his composure and shouted aggrievedly: "Mom, they are going to kill someone -"

"No, no, mom is here, mom will protect you, as long as you don't scream. Kill them, they won't move." Granny Wang comforted nervously.

Lin Siwei shook his head helplessly and sighed. Granny Wang did feel sorry for her daughter, but if her son really had a problem, she would abandon her daughter in an instant.

Therefore, it is really not surprising that Pang Jianping suffered such a fate.

She helped Pang Jianping up and said, "Sister Jianping, are you hurt?"

Pang Jianping was already crying so hard that she wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, but she found a trace of blood on her face. She didn't know whether it was blood from the corner of her mouth or a stepped injury on her finger.

Seeing how nervous Granny Wang was checking her son's injuries, she couldn't care less about her daughter. Lin Siwei wanted Pang Jianping to go upstairs slowly, and Hu Qiaoyue happened to lean out from the second floor: "Siwei, bring Jianping up."

Gu Qia had already smiled brightly: "Grandma, I'm coming up too?"

"Come together."

"Okay. !" Gu Qia responded loudly, turned around and turned to Pang Jianjun, and said fiercely, "I tell you, I am Siwei's friend. If you dare to bully any woman again, I will not twist your neck..."

He looked at her. He looked at Pang Jianjun, paused, and said, "I'll just break your neck."

Pang Jianjun had just smashed his mouth and chewed mud. He had already woken up from the wine. Hearing Gu Xia's threat, he couldn't help but shudder.

This "Friend in Danger" is tall and strong, with ruthless attacks and extremely strong hands. The smell of blood in his mouth reminded him of how terrible this man was, and he could only mutter vaguely and reluctantly: "I take care of the housework, it's a family matter."

"Stop talking back!" Granny Wang was afraid that her son would suffer again, so she dragged him back to the house. .

Halfway through the drag, Pang Jianjun turned to stare at Pang Jianping and said bitterly: "Don't think anyone is backing you. The Hu family are not good people. The capitalists will take away the house immediately, and I will sleep on the street!"

"Stop it, stop it. !" Granny Wang interrupted in a panic, not even daring to look at Lin Siwei until she entered the room and closed the door.

It seems there are new rumors on Yangchuan Road. Lin Siwei sneered and helped Pang Jianping upstairs.

Pang Jianping was covered in scars, with a bruise on her forehead, the corner of her mouth bleeding, and her fingers being stepped on so hard that the flesh was flattened. Fortunately, no bones were injured. When Hu Qiaoyue debrided her, Pang Jianping burst into tears.

It's physical pain, but also mental pain.

Gu Qia had learned nursing knowledge in the army and skillfully dealt with Hu Qiaoyue and quickly treated Pang Jianping's wounds.

At this time, there was absolutely no movement at Granny Wang's house next door. No one came to ask for news about Pang Jianping, and no one heard Pang Jianjun's curses.

There should be no more conflicts today. Gu Qia was very sensible and knew that the three women must have something private to say, so he left and went home.

Lin Siwei sent him downstairs without saying much, just pinched their fingers and watched him leave.

When she turned around and went upstairs, she heard Pang Jianping crying: "Grandma Hu, you said the world is so big, why can't it accommodate me."

Hu Qiaoyue said nothing, holding Pang Jianping's gauze-wrapped hand and looking at it blankly.

Once upon a time, she was beaten like this. Those people used their leather shoes to push her fingers because she taught English and because her hands had written beautiful English writing on the blackboard.

Her fingers were like this too, dripping with blood and almost shapeless.

At that time, no one came forward. She was thrown on the cold stone slab of the school auditorium until late at night. She was the only one in the dark auditorium. Only then did she dare to use the little moonlight leaking from the roof to tie her hands. He bit off the rope and went home silently.

Fortunately, she still has a small room on the second floor where she can stay.

She is better than Pang Jianping.

She was recuperating in the hut. Sometimes the injury is healed, and the torture continues; sometimes the injury is not healed, and the person is dragged out and humiliated.

Hu Qiaoyue spread her right hand: "Jianping, have you seen my little finger? It was also broken by stepping on it. It was not treated in time, and it has been bent like this ever since."

"Grandma Hu..." Pang Jianping stopped sobbing and stared blankly. That curved little finger.

"It's difficult for us women." Hu Qiaoyue said slowly, "We are used to being bullied. Even if there is a ray of moonlight in the dark room, we can't believe that God is letting us run away."

"Run away..." Pang Jianping She murmured, "But where can I run?"

She staggered to her feet, lifted up her shirt with difficulty with her wrapped hands, and then took off her pants: "Look at what that beast did, I really don't dare. Go back."

Hu Qiaoyue and Lin Siwei were shocked by the scene before them.

Pang Jianping's breasts and inner thighs were covered with horrific scars, bright red and pimpled, like ugly centipedes crawling over the most beautiful place.

"Is this... hot?"

Pang Jianping nodded and shed tears again: "He said that I used these things to seduce him, so that he could marry me, a useless hen that doesn't lay eggs.

"He He said that the hens didn't eat enough. I didn't go to work and didn't make any money, so I still had to eat from his family.

"He said that these things were supposed to be used for fertility. They were born in me and had no use except to seduce men. So every time he got angry, he would either beat me to death or burn these parts of my body with a red-hot saw blade... …

"Grandma Hu, I can't even hide..."

When it came to the most painful point, Pang Jianping wailed and cried loudly,

"I'm going to die. This is a crime!" Lin Siwei clenched his fists in anger, "Do the police don't care?" Call the police and arrest him! "

Hu Qiaoyue looked at her deeply.

Lin Siwei suddenly woke up and realized that he was not in Mr. Lin's era. Even in Mr. Lin's era, domestic violence cases were often dismissed as "it is difficult for upright officials to resolve household affairs," let alone this

"Does your mother know about these injuries ? Hu Qiaoyue asked.

Pang Jianping nodded, then shook his head: "I don't know completely." Besides, it would be useless if she knew. I can't give birth to a child, and she doesn't have a strong waist. My brother said that the neighbors on Yangchuan Road were gossiping behind our backs, pointing at the backbone of our Pang family, saying that I always ran back to my parents’ house, causing him to be looked down upon.

"Nonsense! " Hu Qiaoyue was angry, "People on Yangchuan Road are not so boring." Anyway, I've never heard of anyone gossiping about you behind your back. Lin Siwei

thought to herself, grandma, you used to lock yourself at home every day, what could you hear?

She believed that gossip must be gossiped, but there is no need to be afraid of gossip. What's more, most of the neighbors on Yangchuan Road are kind-hearted. .

Furthermore, Pang Jianjun often sends his wife back to her parents' home. Is he afraid that his sister will be looked down upon when she goes back to her parents' home? Lin Siwei thought of what Pang Jianjun said just now - "Don't think that anyone is supporting you, not even the Hu family

. "

Good guy, the capitalists will take the house away immediately, and I will sleep on the street! She

thought with a thought that Pang Jianping should have kept some words out of favor.

"Sister Jianping, your brother has to drive you away not just because of losing face." Lin Siwei said, "He has other reasons. Sister Jianping, you don't have to be embarrassed to say it." "

Pang Jianping turned pale from crying, but when Lin Siwei asked this question, she suddenly blushed.

She said: "He said... He said that half of the street here used to be the property of the Hu family, and the government wanted to return it to the Hu family. We They all have to move away..."

Lin Siwei and Hu Qiaoyue quickly looked at each other, and the news of the disappearance spread very quickly.

"He said that even if it is not returned to the Hu family, Yangchuan Road will be demolished sooner or later, and he said that I came back just to occupy the house. He told me to give up on this idea. If we move out, the government will allocate houses, and if we demolish my house, the government will allocate houses. Those are all allocated to him. I am a married daughter, so I should go back to my husband's family.

"But...but he doesn't know that I'm like this, how dare I go back...wuwuwu..." She started crying again.

Because of the house again.

Hu Qiaoyue raised her eyebrows and sneered, feeling that she had nothing to say.

Lin Siwei knew that it had touched grandma's sadness, so he walked over, gently pulled up Pang Jianping's clothes, and said: "Sister Jianping, I came late. I didn't know your situation before, but grandma said that you are the one she looks up to. The family was once a beautiful and happy girl. No woman should have to endure such hardships. The world is not limited to her husband’s family and her natal family.”

Pang Jianping stared at her blankly: “I don’t even have a job, where can I go?” "

She was one of the last batch of educated youth to go to the countryside. She went to the farm and returned to the city within a year or two to become an unemployed youth. After getting to know the man, she believed the man said he would arrange a good job for her. Not only did they get together easily, but they also refused the job arranged by the government.

The current predicament is certainly due to her being unkind to others, but it is also due to her naivety and gullibility.

"You have hands and feet, but are you afraid that you won't be able to support yourself?" Lin Siwei originally wanted to persuade her to divorce, but then he thought, she must not dare to divorce because she is afraid that she will have no source of income after the divorce, so she should first have a source of income before mentioning it. divorce.

Hu Qiaoyue also said: "Siwei is right, the most important thing is that you can support yourself. If you have money, you don't need to look at other people's faces."

Pang Jianping nodded. But his eyes were still confused.

Tell a city girl to "support yourself", and indeed she can't think of any other way except to find a job arranged by the government.

Not as good as a rural girl.

Lin Siwei sighed secretly, my mother could raise me up by herself, and my aunt could raise chickens and vegetables for the supply and marketing cooperative to buy in exchange for money. People who don't have the concept of "work" are "working" all the time.

After dinner, Granny Wang came to ask Pang Jianping to go home.

He said that your brother is sober, and your sister-in-law and nephew have also returned from their parents' home. I will definitely not beat you tonight.

Lin Siwei was silent for a while.

"I will definitely not hit you tonight", this is actually a safety promise, how ridiculous.

Pang Jianping looked back three times step by step, and finally returned home in horror. It is conceivable that even if the family gave a safety promise, she would not dare to sleep that night.

"Sister Jianping was only 26 years old, and she was so damaged that she lost the motivation to live."

Lin Siwei soaked all the clothes he had changed into a wooden basin, scrubbing them while chatting with his grandma.

Grandma said nothing.

"Grandma, are you still sad about Sister Jianping?"

"Yes."

"Grandma, don't be too sad. Her character determines her destiny. Only if she has internal motivation can she have the possibility to change her destiny. Others like us can't force it..."

"Siwei." Hu Qiaoyue interrupted her, "Help her. "

Hu Qiaoyue rarely asks for help from others. She doesn't want to bother others with her own affairs, let alone others.

She has always been cold-tempered. Even though she has opened her heart now and is much more enthusiastic, she is still someone who doesn't want to get into trouble.

Lin Siwei smiled and said: "Tell me the reason, grandma."

Hu Qiaoyue stroked the curved little finger and said quietly: "Back then, when I came home with my hands full of blood, the food was spoiled, the water tank was empty, and the mice climbed on the stove. I was hungry and cold, had a fever in the middle of the night, and was feeling groggy.

“I wanted to go to the north balcony to get some fresh air and wake up for a while. But at that moment, my whole body ached, and looking at the mighty and turbid water in the canal, I couldn't help crying. I was lonely and helpless in this life, and there was no one to care about, so I might as well just go like this.

"I climbed up to the stone wall of the balcony and was about to jump down when a little hand stretched out from the crack of the brick and said, Grandma, don't cry, I'll give you an apple to eat.

"It was Jianping. She hid an apple and secretly hid it at night . Hide on the north balcony and eat. When she heard me cry, she wanted to comfort me.

A smile appeared on Hu Qiaoyue's face: "Half an apple was so chewy that it saved my life. " Siwei, do you know that feeling? "

Lin Siwei can understand, but he doesn't understand everything.

"Jianping doesn't remember it herself, but I do. That half apple is a ray of moonlight shining in the dark auditorium. So Siwei, help her.

Lin Siwei squatted in front of her grandma and held her hand, including the bent little finger. She nodded heavily

: "Okay, I'll find a way." "

...

When he arrived at school the next day, Wu Shanhai said that he had received a new order from an electromechanical company. The other party was in a hurry. He wanted to study and arrange new courses to ensure delivery on time.

Lin Siwei looked at the course schedule and said: "Wu Teacher, you said last time that internship courses can also be arranged during evening self-study time to reduce the burden on other teachers?

"Yes, haven't you seen that we have to arrange some evening activities for the students every week? Otherwise, they will easily get into trouble if they are idle at night. " Do you think the teachers are willing to stay here at night? There are seniors at the top and young at the bottom. Who doesn’t want to go home? But forget it, that's what I'm saying, we are both older..."

When he thought something was wrong, he chuckled: "Teacher Xiaolin is only older, not younger, haha. But I can't lock Teacher Xiaolin here to work overtime. The boy at the school gate will eat me. "

Gu Qia said.

Lin Siwei's face turned slightly red, and he ignored it and said: "I have a neighbor who is a high school student and unemployed. I think she should be able to live here 24 hours a day.

"How old are you? " Male or female? "

"26 years old, female. Wu Shanhai smiled and said: "

At this age, we are about to start a family and start a business. Who is willing to sell here 24 hours a day?"

"To be honest with you, Teacher Wu, she has a family and can't go back. Her husband's family doesn't want her, so there's no need to worry about her not being able to stay. " "

So pitiful..." Wu Shanhai thought for a moment and said, "It's enough to be a teacher on duty with a high school degree. Food and accommodation here are convenient. However, we can't pay much, and people won't mind if the salary is too low." Bar?

"No. " She just wanted to have a roof over her head.

"Then what's the problem? " With our treatment, I'm afraid no one will come. If she wants, she can come tomorrow. "

When I went home in the evening, Pang Jianping was already at Hu's house, helping Hu Qiaoyue to marinate meat.

Seeing Lin Siwei coming back, Pang Jianping was very embarrassed and whispered: "My brother is drinking again, so I hurried out to get away. If he drinks too much and is done making trouble, he will go to sleep. I'll wait until he falls asleep before I go home.

"It's okay. Sister Jianping is welcome in my home. " Lin Siwei happily asked Pang Jianping to sit down together, "Sister Jianping, I have something to tell you."

Pang Jianping sat down in panic: "What's the matter? " "

But I was praying in my heart, don't drive me away, let me do whatever I want here.

I just heard Lin Siwei say: "Our school is short of a teacher on duty, are you willing to go?

Pang Jianping was startled: "Me? " teacher? "

This means that you can't associate yourself with the identity of a teacher. Lin Siwei smiled and said: "There are classes in the practice center in the evening, and you have to lead the class. The classes are not complicated, but you are responsible for distributing raw materials and counting and cleaning up after class. Also, you have to live on campus.

"Live on campus? " Pang Jianping's eyes lit up.

Lin Siwei nodded: "Yes, according to school regulations, it is six days a week."

Pang Jianping immediately responded: "It's okay. I can work seven days a week. I don't want to rest, as long as there is a place for me to live. "

"There must be a place. " There are plenty of dormitories on campus, or you can live in the practice center. As for meals, the cafeteria provides three meals a day, and the school will issue meal tickets to faculty and staff according to standards. Pang Jianping became even more excited when she heard that she was still in charge of the job: "

No problem, no problem. Can I really do such a good job?" "

She didn't even ask about the salary, and she even began to feel that she was not worthy of the job.

"Sister Jianping, listen to me. This job is different from that of a school teacher. Strictly speaking, on-duty teachers are not paid.

Hu Qiaoyue disagreed a little: "How can we do without a salary? Even if we take care of food and housing, we still have to buy some daily necessities. " "

But I think...it doesn't matter..." Pang Jianping was a little at a loss.

Lin Siwei said seriously: "There is no salary, only a living allowance of 60 cents a day."

She thought Pang Jianping would settle the accounts, but unexpectedly Pang Jianping burst into tears: "Can I really make money? " Siwei, pinch me quickly. Wuwuwu..."

"Sister, do you think it's enough? Pang Jianping

's face was full of tears: "Sixty cents a day, almost twenty a month, woo woo woo..."

Okay, now Lin Siwei is sure that she can settle accounts, and she can do it very quickly.

Lin Siwei knows that high school these days Some of the students are quite naive, and if you look closely, there are many who have not studied seriously for a few days. Pang Jianping usually seems to have a good conversational skills, and he is also good at calculating accounts. I think this high school degree is worthy of the name.

However, I am happy. Lin Siwei asked Pang Jianping not to tell his family where he would go to work, but to pack his things overnight and meet at the gate of the Grain School tomorrow morning.

My husband's family hasn't come to pick up someone for so long, so I think they're very happy to have one less freeloader. Her mother-in-law had a brother who wanted her to get out as soon as possible. As long as she left, he didn't care where she went.

But if he knew she had found a job, he might want to come and search for something.

Pang Jianping is still a "rookie" in the workplace, and she can't deal with these two top families yet. Leaving quietly would be good for her and the school.

What Lin Siwei didn't expect was that Pang Jianping left overnight and didn't wait until dawn.

When she saw Pang Jianping at the school gate the next day, the guard stuck his head out and said hello: "Oh, I didn't know she was Teacher Xiao Lin's friend. She huddled at the school gate all night. If I had known she was Teacher Xiao Lin's friend, come in." Find a place to sleep."

Pang Jianping became a member of the practice center.

She refused to live in the staff dormitory, saying that since she was on duty, she had to live in the practice center. Fortunately, the practice center is quite large. The old teacher had already retired, and the vacant office was given to Pang Jianping.

There was a small cubicle for naps in the office, and Pang Jianping regarded it as her home.

Within a few days, Wu Shanhai had a new experience. Now when he comes to work every morning, the floors are mopped, the tables are wiped, the hot water is poured, and even the day's internship courses are written on the blackboard.

"With Teacher Xiao Pang, can there be a few more?" Wu Shanhai sighed.

Lin Siwei blinked: "Wait until our practice center's income triples again?"

"Are you having a dream so early in the morning?" A voice sounded at the door of the practice center.

It turned out to be Xiao Huiyu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Lin Siwei then remembered that the students who had gone out for internships were all going back to school.
