Chapter 43 Chapter 43 The whole family stabbed
It’s too small, this world is really too small!
After returning home, Shen Miao couldn’t wait to tell Shen Wanshan and her parents about this, but they didn’t think it was strange.
The Qin family has a long tradition of scholarship, and all the children in the family are promising. It is not a big deal that they can train a public official. But they think Shen Miao is overreacting a bit.
They usually don’t like to eat melons, so naturally they don’t understand why Shen Miao is so surprised.
This feeling was like going to a convenience store to buy a bag of spicy strips, but ended up winning a bottle of soda. After opening the soda lid, he won a bag of snacks.
Although they are not valuable prizes, the combined odds are too low!
There are tens of millions of people in Yu City, and I just happened to run into someone who is related to Grandma Qin, and he helped me twice... Isn't this probability amazing?!
Seeing that there was no one at home to talk to her about this matter, and as for Chen Xiulan, Shen Miao did not want to contact her for the time being, so she called Jiang Xiaozhen.
She is also a person who loves to gossip, so she must be able to understand her own feelings.
“Your gossip is nothing,” Jiang Xiaozhen replied indifferently after listening to Shen Miao’s gossip, “I’ll tell you a gossip, the probability is even lower than yours!”
"What? Tell me quickly~" Shen Miao urged her anxiously.
Jiang Xiaozhen didn't say it directly, but deliberately kept it a secret, "The report hasn't come out yet. You'll know tomorrow night when you turn on the TV and watch the news."
As the New Year was getting closer, Shen Miao was very busy, and Jiang Xiaozhen, a reporter, was not idle either.
She said that she had been following a big exclusive recently, which ended only the night before yesterday, and she also guaranteed that the news she edited this time would definitely become the hottest and most discussed topic before the New Year.
Since she didn’t speak directly, Shen Miao also hid what she knew about the “Chen, Yao and Hou love triangle”, “Okay, let me taste it tomorrow night, and I will tell you a shocking piece of news the day after tomorrow.”
The original intention of calling was to share gossip and double each other's happiness, but after chatting like this, the happiness didn't increase much, but it did raise each other's expectations.
They even made a bet that whoever's gossip was not hot enough would have to treat the other to a meal.
The agreed day finally arrived.
At 7:30 in the evening, as soon as the news broadcast ended, Shen Miao turned the TV to the Henan Provincial TV Station, waiting for the news report from the province.
Thump, thump…
Thump, thump, thump…
It seems like someone is knocking on the door outside the yard?
"Who is it?"
After turning off the faucet, Wang Dongmei wiped her hands with her apron and walked to open the door.
"Yao Heng? Why are you here so late at night?"
"Are you alone? It's such a long way from your home to my village. Did you come here in the dark?"
Seeing that Yao Heng's nose was red from the north wind, Wang Dongmei quickly took him into the house.
The entire Shen family was there, and there was still the lingering smell of food in the house.
The old man and Shen Shansheng were sitting side by side on the wooden sofa, covering their legs with blankets to keep warm, while Shen Miao was using fire tongs to turn over the sweet potatoes roasted in the coal briquette stove, waiting to eat them later while watching the news.
"Brother Heng? Why are you here so late?"
Yao Heng’s arrival surprised Shen Miao.
Half a month had passed since their last meeting. Shen Miao had thought that he might contact her on his own initiative, but she had never expected that he would come to her house so quietly.
I haven't seen Yao Heng for half a month. He has lost a lot of weight and his shoulders can hardly support the down jacket he is wearing.
He didn't look very well, as if he hadn't rested for a long time. His shoes were covered in mud and his trouser legs were also very dirty. It seemed that he had walked all the way from the city.
"What's going on? What happened?" Shen Miao rubbed his cold hands and asked in a warm voice.
“Miaomiao…”
Yao Heng did not answer, but just hugged Shen Miao tightly in his arms like a wronged child.
Seeing an unfamiliar "pig" sniffing the "cabbage" that they had raised since childhood, Shen Wanshan and Shen Shansheng both became nervous, and one of them almost rushed over to chase him away, but reason made them temporarily hold down their clenched fists.
He probably doesn't want to say it.
Shen Miao did not force him, and gently patted his back to drive away the chill of the winter night for him. After his mood warmed up a little, Shen Miao pulled him to sit down, "You must be thirsty after walking so far, I will go get you a cup of hot water."
Wang Dongmei followed up and said, "Xiao? Are you hungry? There's some food at home. Can I go and heat it up for you?"
"No need, auntie," Yao Heng forced out an ugly bitter smile, "I've eaten."
Wang Dongmei introduced Yao Heng's identity to Shen Wanshan and the others, and the father and son, who had been vigilant just now, gradually let go of their hostility towards him.
Sitting on a small bench, Yao Heng held the cup of hot water, taking a sip from time to time, without saying a word.
He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to do anything else, just sitting like this was fine, and feeling the harmonious atmosphere of Shen Miao’s home was enough for him.
Since he didn't say anything, Shen Miao didn't ask any more questions, but peeled the baked sweet potato and gave him half.
Shen Miao guessed that Chen Xiulan and Yao Yuan must have quarreled at home again, so he came to her to seek a little family warmth.
"...Here is a social news report for you:"
"This year, our city has achieved considerable results in the 'crackdown on pornography and illegal publications' campaign. A total of ten pulse seal dens have been destroyed and nearly one hundred pulse seal personnel have been detained. However, some people have stepped on the red line of the law and conducted shady transactions. However, their transaction methods are somewhat special. What are they like? Let's take a closer look..."
The camera turned from the studio to the scene shot by the camera.
The reporter in the picture is Jiang Xiaozhen, wearing a clean and neat dark uniform. It is an interview of her with the police.
The explosive news that Jiang Xiaozhen mentioned is the province-wide "crackdown on pornography and illegal publications" campaign.
Different from the past, this time the operation is not limited to the urban area of Yu City, but covers the entire province.
Because 1997 is a special year, everything must be treated strictly.
The first scene was secretly filmed, and it shows Jiang Xiaozhen pretending to be a job applicant and taking the opportunity to inquire about the market situation under the pretext of applying for a job at a printing factory.
As the background audio explained, a phone recording soon played:
"I don't want this to happen, but if I don't report it, my family will be ruined... Please, please save my family!"
The recording was changed using special technology, but it was still possible to hear the voice of a woman crying to a reporter.
This is the recording of the woman reporting to the TV station. After listening to her crying, Shen Wanshan and Shen Shansheng couldn't help but sigh:
"Prostitution, gambling and drugs have always been harmful to people since ancient times."
"Yeah, don't even touch it. If you do, your life will be over."
Listening to their contemptuous discussion, Yao Heng's expression turned even worse. He put down the cup of water in his hand. It seemed that the atmosphere here also made it difficult for him to breathe.
He wanted to get out of here.
After the previous preparation, we finally come to the highlight of this news: the arrest.
With reporters and police conducting advance reconnaissance and reports from the criminals' families to the TV station, they were able to quickly destroy known dens in the city.
The scene captured by the camera shows the reporter following the police's actions.
"Don't move! Get down in the corner!"
"Don't take anything! I say again! Don't move!"
The stern voice of the police crushed those dirty activities and cleared away the tainted atmosphere.
The camera quickly flashed past the people squatting in the corner. Although their images were blurred to protect their privacy, their dignity and face were completely shattered the moment they paid to do that.
Jiang Xiaozhen: "...After this investigation, we found that the projects provided by such pulse seal places are not just simple blue transactions, but also more incredible and jaw-dropping star behaviors."
Following Jiang Xiaozhen's introduction, the camera came to a special room in a hideout somewhere.
The color in the room was very ambiguous, and the light was rose-red when turned on.
There was a row of leather props on the wall, and on the table there were ropes, whips, and...
etc? !
As the camera quickly scanned past, Shen Miao couldn’t help but straighten up, while staring at the screen with wide eyes.
Hiss, these things look so familiar, why do they feel...
It was not until she saw those fox tails and dog tails that Shen Miao was so shocked that she almost choked to death on the roasted sweet potato in her mouth.
Oh my god! The things in Yao Heng's father's box are the same as these props in the house!
So, Yao Yuan’s things are also a kind of blue, just in a different form?
Shen Miao thought she had eaten a lot of melons, but she still couldn't help but be shocked. It was the first time she knew that these could also be entertaining.
Next was Jiang Xiaozhen’s interview with the den owner. In order to find out how these things were used, Shen Miao turned up the volume a few more points out of curiosity.
Soon, Yao Heng, who had been feeling uneasy, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Miao Miao, I'm leaving."
Seeing Yao Heng getting up to leave, Shen Miao hurriedly stopped him: “It’s so late, how are you going to go back? The village is not like the city, the temperature can drop below zero at night in winter, you should stay for one night, there is an empty room in my house.”
"No, no, I still..."
"No, it's not safe outside at night," Wang Dongmei also tried to stop him, "Does your mom know you're coming to my house? How about I give her a call and let her know?"
When Yao Heng heard that Wang Dongmei was going to call Chen Xiulan, he panicked: "No need, auntie. Don't bother."
"Oh my God! You bastard, you, you..."
At this moment, the sound of a woman crying suddenly came from the TV.
Sound familiar?
Wang Dongmei and Shen Miao turned their heads to look at the TV screen at the same time, and sure enough, they saw Chen Xiulan in the reporter's camera.
They missed what happened before, but at this moment, the reporter's camera was following Chen Xiulan, witnessing her family destroyed by "Huang".
Unlike the pulse mark dens that were filmed before, most of the people squatting on the ground in this den were men. Among these men, there was not only her nominal husband, but also another person she loved.
When the police brought them out of the house, they were squatting side by side, and the conspicuous fox tail was stuck behind Yao Yuan, and he had not had time to pull it out.
At that moment, Wang Dongmei and Shen Miao fell into deathly silence at the same time.
Shen Miao seemed to understand why Yao Heng was so anxious to escape...
*
"Hello? Is this the TV station? I want to report it!"
"mom!"
As soon as Chen Xiulan dialed the TV station's reporting hotline, Yao Heng rushed over and hung up, "What are you doing? We are all family, you..."
"Who is his family?"
Chen Xiulan didn't want to hear the word "home", especially when she heard her son begging for mercy for the one who hurt her, she was furious, "Xiao, who are you on the same side with? He beat me up like this, and you won't help me at all, right?!"
Chen Xiulan became more and more choked up as she spoke. At this moment, she felt more pain in her heart than in the injuries on her body.
When the couple started fighting, the son didn't think of coming out to stop them. Now that he is injured and wants his father to pay the price, he is not happy about it... Haha, is this the good son I raised?
"Mom, why are you saying that? Who said I won't help you?" Yao Heng put the phone back to where it was. "But no matter what, don't make a big deal out of it. If this gets on TV, will my dad still have face?"
Chen Xiulan snorted and asked coldly, "Which do you want, your father's face or your mother's life?"
Yao Heng didn't say anything, but he had actually made his choice: he wanted Chen Xiulan's life...
A few days ago, Chen Xiulan and Yao Yuan had another fight.
The cause was that Yao Yuan drank outside at night. After returning home, he accidentally dropped the gift that Chen Xiulan was going to give him for the New Year. As a result, they started fighting again after a few words.
Yao Yuan was very strong after drinking and almost killed Chen Xiulan.
Chen Xiulan originally thought that the New Year was coming soon, and any unpleasantness could be dealt with after the New Year, but he just made this family uncomfortable, so she decided to fight to the death with Yao and reported him.
Chen Xiulan already knew about Yao Yuan's visit.
As a man, how can you control your lower body?
Everyone says that the more capable and profitable a man is, the more he needs sexual satisfaction. A man like Yao Yuan, who can become a small boss in a company, is even less likely to live a plain life like a "monk".
Chen Xiulan first discovered it shortly after giving birth to Yao Heng.
At that time, Yao Yuan went to the bathhouse every few days. Chen Xiulan secretly followed him outside and watched him. Although she didn't catch him red-handed, she guessed what was going on when she saw some beautiful girls appearing there.
Later, Yao Yuan moved to another place and often went to a tube-shaped building in another village in the city. Chen Xiulan saw those dirty toys in his cabinet again, and she became more certain that he was cheating on her.
But she didn't care. After all, they no longer had a star-studded life after giving birth to Yao Heng. Even if he went out, it wouldn't affect her. As long as he sent money home honestly every month, she could pretend not to know.
Another reason was because of what happened between her and Hou Wentao... She knew that what she did was not honorable, so she had no right to interfere with him.
But this time, Chen Xiulan really couldn't stand it anymore, she had to make Yao Yuan pay the price!
I can't beat him, but the police can't control him.
It doesn't matter whether it's face or not, this time he must stay in the detention center for a few days to teach him a lesson!
It was not convenient to make a big fuss about business matters, and it would not be good for her if the company was closed down, so Chen Xiulan wanted to take advantage of the recent "crackdown on pornography and illegal publications" to send Yao Yuan to jail.
Seeing that the corners of Chen Xiulan's mouth were beginning to bleed again, Yao Heng stopped talking and silently put the phone down.
The New Year is coming soon, maybe there is nothing wrong in letting the police arrest him.
What if he got drunk again during the Chinese New Year, and caused unrest in the family, and beat Chen Xiulan severely...
The crime against Liao should not be serious. He will be released after being locked up for a dozen or twenty days. This will be just enough time for them to spend the New Year in peace.
After some hesitation, Yao Heng acquiesced to his mother's act of calling to report.
Reporting it alone is not enough. If you want Yao Yuan to be put in detention, you have to let the police catch him red-handed.
So Chen Xiulan took the initiative to contact the TV station's reporters, ostensibly saying that she hoped they would help bring her man home, but in fact she wanted to ensure that when the police took action, they would catch Yao Yuan himself.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the Chinese New Year, the operation was finally about to be concluded.
Following the reporters, Chen Xiulan was ready to act. She wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone know about Yao Yuan's scandal. Even if it would destroy the family, she would make Yao Yuan lose his reputation and never be able to hold his head up again.
Until, until she saw that the person brought out with Yao Yuan was not a young lady, but Hou Wentao...
"You, you two, me, you guys..."
At that moment, Chen Xiulan's mind went blank and she also lost the ability to control her facial expressions.
She clearly wanted to cry and scream, but after her eyes moved back and forth between them several times, the corners of her twitching lips only managed a bitter smile.
One was her husband who existed in name only, and the other was her lover who had been with her for more than ten years...
He, how could the two of them get together?
Chen Xiulan could accept her husband's glance, and she could also accept that Hou Wentao got tired of her and fell in love with another woman, but what she absolutely could not tolerate was that the two of them had any shady connection!
Chen Xiulan achieved her goal, Hou Wentao was arrested by the police, but she also tore off the fig leaf of this family with her own hands, exposing these two shameful relationships completely under the camera.
"You like men? Are you a pervert?!"
"How could you, how could you...you, you...!"
Chen Xiulan did not take the initiative to expose her affair with Hou Wentao. She was just accusing Hou Wentao of his despicable behavior. But the people around her were not blind and their eyes were sharp.
Her attention was not on herself or her husband, but she was staring at Hou Wentao. And the tone and expression... there must be a shady relationship between her and Hou Wentao!
In this incident, the biggest victim was Yao Heng, the simple boy who longed for love.
Hou Wentao is the only person he likes in his life and the person he loves the most.
Who would have thought that the man he had called "brother" and regarded as his idol since childhood actually had an improper relationship with his parents.
He couldn't even imagine that when he kissed Hou Wentao, his lips...
vomit!
In the following days, Yao Heng listened to Chen Xiulan confess to him what had happened over the past decade.
He knew that when Hou Wentao came to his house as a child, he coaxed him to sleep and then made love with his mother in the living room; he knew that when he got first place in the class in the junior high school entrance examination and went to his store to celebrate with him, his mother was hiding naked in the warehouse; he knew...
Yao Heng's worldview was somewhat shattered. He began to doubt whether Hou Wentao was lying to him with all those sweet words he said to him, and whether he was also treating him as one of his playthings.
Of course, Yao Heng did not tell Chen Xiulan about what happened between him and Hou Wentao. He didn't want to provoke her anymore and also wanted to let himself go.
Today, he went to the police station and found his biological father Yao Yuan, and heard from him about his relationship with Hou Wentao:
Yao Yuan is a homosexual and has been so since before he got married, so no matter how good Chen Xiulan is, he can never live with her. As for why they want to get married and torture each other, it is just to continue the family line and maintain face in front of others.
As for him and Hou Wentao...
It was an accident, just an accident. He didn't know about Hou Wentao and Chen Xiulan. There was no such thing as him doing anything to Hou Wentao in order to take revenge on Chen Xiulan.
At first he just paid for fun and accidentally saw Hou Wentao when he was selecting people.
That was six or seven years ago. At that time, Hou Wentao's store was almost unable to sustain itself, and he could only make money by selling his body.
The woman earned too little money, and it was only after someone introduced her to the man, saying that the man earned more, that she took the first step.
It was also in the process of selling his body again and again that he gradually discovered that he liked men more than women, and that the fun and toys added during venting could arouse his interest and pleasure more.
Yao Yuan, who is the boss in front of others, is also willing to be a "dog" in front of Hou Wentao.
They also maintained this kind of relationship for many years. At the beginning, it was purely for money, but later, it became a relationship of sex friends for both parties to vent their emotions to each other.
The reason why Yao Yuan acted as if he didn't want Hou Wentao to have any contact with Yao Heng was, firstly, because he was afraid that his son would see through their relationship, and secondly, it was to make it easier to hide it.
It was also at this time that Yao Heng learned about a major event that happened a few years ago:
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
"Stay today and celebrate the New Year with us."
"Yes, yes, Brother Hou, there's nothing to do when you go back anyway."
"OK."
On New Year's Eve, when Chen Xiulan and Yao Yuan were busy cooking in the kitchen, in the bedroom, Yao Heng hooked his arms around Hou Wentao's neck and gave him a kiss for the first time. It was also the first time he felt Hou Wentao's passion for him.
After dinner, Yao Yuan went out to visit the brothers who stayed behind in the company. Just when Yao Heng was drowsy, in the bedroom separated by a wall, Hou Wentao held Chen Xiulan tightly in his arms.
As it approached twelve o'clock, Yao Yuan called Hou Wentao to pick him up and go home to celebrate the New Year together.
Just downstairs, in the back seat of the car, Yao Yuan was also biting his socks while acting like a "dog" with a tail...
