Chapter 102 White Lotus
◎Want to get away with it? No way!◎
Hearing Zhao Xiangwan's heart-warming words, He Meiyu's tears welled up in her eyes and she burst into tears in an instant.
Since she discovered that her husband Wu Yixin had cheated on her, every day has been a torment for He Meiyu.
I work, take care of the kids, and do housework during the day. There are a lot of things to do, so it's not so bad when I'm busy.
But as soon as she closed her eyes at night, she seemed to see her husband being affectionate with another woman. Even though she saw him lying next to her, her heart was so far away from him that her tears flowed uncontrollably.
At first, she tried to restore the relationship between her husband and wife, and tried to adjust her state. She didn't dare to quarrel or make a scene, for fear of pushing her husband away further. He Meiyu didn't dare to complain to her family, and could only endure it silently, hoping that Wu Yixin would slowly return to the family for the sake of their relationship and their young daughter.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yixin became even more aggressive when he saw that she didn't dare to speak out. She didn't dare to go out at night before, but now she goes out after get off work, eats dinner, and doesn't even bother to come up with a reason. She doesn't come back home until very late.
Smelling the cheap perfume on Wu Yixin, He Meiyu also tried to argue with him, but as soon as she started talking, she couldn't control her tears and couldn't speak. Wu Yixin turned away impatiently and said, "If you can get through it, get through it. If you can't, leave."
He Meiyu didn't know how things turned out like this, and finally couldn't help but complain to her family. At first, she was afraid of being looked down upon by her sisters, so she only dared to talk to her mother.
He's mother, Chen Shuxiang, is an old-fashioned person. She married and gave birth to four daughters in one go. She felt inferior to her husband and always tolerated him. If it weren't for her four daughters, she would probably still have to endure her husband's sighs and complaints.
Chen Shuxiang felt a little numb when she heard her eldest daughter's crying.
Wu Yixin cheated on his wife? How is that possible?!
The eldest daughter, He Meiyu, was born in 1956. She was the first child in the family. At that time, there was no pressure to have a son. It was said that it was a blessing to bloom first and then bear fruit. Therefore, Meiyu grew up in an atmosphere of pampering.
Later, younger sisters were born one after another. He Meiyu helped her mother with housework and took care of her younger sisters. She was sensible, diligent and well-behaved. She had excellent academic performance, but unfortunately she caught up with the great movement. After graduating from junior high school in 1971, she responded to the call and went to the countryside to become an youth educated. There she fell in love with her classmate Wu Yixin. After the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, the two took the college entrance examination together. In 1978, she was admitted to Xingshi Accounting School. After graduation, she was assigned to a state-owned unit as an accountant.
He Meiyu and Wu Yixin have a foundation of affection.
The two were classmates in junior high school. They went to the countryside together as educated youth. They encouraged each other to enter college and study the same major. They got married after graduating from college in 1982 and gave birth to their daughter Wu Xiaohong in 1983. Although one of the couple worked in an electrical machinery factory and the other in a chemical factory, the two units were not far apart. The couple went in and out together, which made others envious.
Wu Yixin's parents and He Meiyu's parents were both workers, and they were well matched. The two families often visited each other and had a good relationship. Wu Yixin worked hard, was friendly to his colleagues, was filial to his parents, and loved his children. Everyone who knew him would praise him as a good man.
He cheated on her? Chen Shuxiang simply didn't believe it!
But her always strong-willed daughter burst into tears, and Chen Shuxiang had to believe it, so she could only say hesitantly: "Yes, is it true? It's not someone else's nonsense, or you are just imagining it, right? Men sometimes have social events outside, and people spread gossip about them, don't take it seriously. Yi Xin treats you and Xiao Hong so well, how could he cheat on you?"
He Meiyu was so heartbroken that she almost passed out. She cried and told her mother the truth, including how she found out that Wu Yixin was not acting right, how she followed him, how she saw him enter a hair salon, how she saw him interacting intimately with a young girl in the salon, and how Wu Yixin admitted that he had fallen in love with her. She told her everything.
Chen Shuxiang still didn't believe it: "Maybe, maybe he's just playing around? Meiyu, Yixin is now the chief accountant of the company. He has money and power. It's normal for women to throw themselves at him. Don't be impatient. Take it easy. Maybe he'll come back after he's figured it out and is tired of playing around."
Thinking that she had endured for more than three months, only to see Wu Yixin become even more aggressive, He Meiyu was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but lose her temper: "Why should I wait until he gets tired of playing? It was obviously his fault, why do you want me to wait for him to figure it out?"
Chen Shuxiang was sad, but she could do nothing. She raised her hand and touched her daughter's head: "Meiyu, what can I do? This is how society is. If you want to maintain the integrity of this family, you have to endure. The word "endurance" is like a knife in the heart. I know you are angry, but there is nothing I can do. This is the fate of us women."
From her mother, He Meiyu only heard one word - endure.
Can't bear it, should I divorce? My daughter is still young, she can't leave her father. Wu Yixin's career is on the rise, and life is getting better and better. Should I give him up to someone else?
However, the word "forbearance" was like a knife, and He Meiyu's heart was cut very painfully.
I complained to my three younger sisters and their reactions were very different.
He Mingyu, who is a police officer, was very excited: "Divorce! Sister, I support your divorce. We can never tolerate a cheating man. You said your brother-in-law found a hair salon girl? Is it a money-for-sex transaction? Which hair salon? I'll ask the Anti-Pornography Office to check it out! If it's prostitution, I'll make Wu Yixin pay for it."
He Qingyu, a doctor, was very calm: "First take care of the money, and then wait and see. If he still has a conscience and can't bear to leave Xiaohong, then give him a chance. If he insists on his own way, then go to his unit and take his salary card. As for men, it doesn't matter which one you change, it's better to keep Wu Yixin and treat him as a machine to make money for you and your mother in the future."
Ho Chin-yu, a primary school teacher, is objective and rational, and likes to preach: "Sister, shouldn't you also reflect on yourself? Your brother-in-law has such a deep emotional foundation with you. He has always been very good to you, Xiaohong, and your parents. He buys groceries on the way home from get off work and cooks when he gets home. Among the four of us sisters, your brother-in-law is really the most family-oriented one. How could such a man cheat? Did you ignore his emotional needs? I think if you want to save your marriage, you have to start by changing yourself."
All kinds of voices came together, and He Meiyu felt like she was about to collapse.
This time, she thought of how He Mingyu often mentioned Zhao Xiangwan, saying that although Zhao Xiangwan was young, she was insightful and could analyze her true thoughts through her micro-expressions. So she plucked up the courage to find Zhao Xiangwan, hoping to find some spiritual support from a neutral outsider.
Zhao Xiangwan did not let her down. The words "You are good, it's not your fault" successfully touched He Meiyu's heart, and her shaky self-confidence finally regained a little bit of confidence.
He Meiyu's tears rolled down, and it was obvious that she was very emotional. She held Zhao Xiangwan's hand tightly and cried: "But... Jin Yu said that I should reflect on myself."
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "It's not your fault, you don't need to reflect on it."
After saying this, Zhao Xiangwan glanced at He Mingyu, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Can't you see that your elder sister is about to have a mental breakdown and her confidence has collapsed? At this time, you are still adding fuel to the fire and talking about reflecting on yourself. Are you really a sister?
He Mingyu explained hurriedly, "That's what my second sister said. That's her character. She likes to preach about everything, and she's always giving me a bunch of great principles. It's so annoying. Big sister, ignore her. If you believe me, just get a divorce and slap Wu Yixin, that shameless guy, to death!"
He Meiyu cried and shook her head: "He is Xiaohong's father, and I don't want to hurt him."
She actually doesn't want a divorce.
Junior high school classmates, we went to the countryside together as educated youth, studied late into the night together for the college entrance examination, spent time together under the moonlight on campus, went to work together, got married, and had daughters. How can we just throw away or forget all these moments together?
It is difficult for an honest judge to settle family affairs, as every family has its own circumstances.
Different people will make different choices when faced with the same situation.
Zhao Xiangwan cannot make choices for others, she can only make suggestions.
"Sister He, what do you want me to do when you come to see me today?" Zhao Xiangwan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
He Meiyu glanced at He Mingyu secretly, stammered and said nothing.
He Mingyu was anxious: "Just tell me what I'm going to do."
He Meiyu made up her mind and directly stated her purpose: "I, I want you to meet Wu Yixin and judge his inner thoughts through his micro-expressions. Does he really want a divorce? Does he still have feelings for me and the child? What should I do to win his heart back?"
He Mingyu rolled her eyes, her teeth itching with hatred: "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about redeeming the relationship? You're such a jerk! I'm really pissed off! I shouldn't have brought you here if I had known."
Zhao Xiangwan picked up a box of fructose from the coffee table and handed it to He Mingyu: "Here, have a candy. You are pregnant, you can't get angry."
He Mingyu picked up a candy and put it in her mouth. The sweetness spread in her mouth and her mood gradually returned to calm.
Zhao Xiangwan handed the fructose to He Meiyu again: "Do you want some?"
He Meiyu picked up the candy and put it in her mouth. The sweet fruity aroma dispelled her melancholy.
Zhao Xiangwan asked He Meiyu: "Do you think there is still a chance to save your marriage?"
He Meiyu actually had no idea. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, so I want you to help me judge."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "What if I judge that there is no chance of recovery?"
He Meiyu's face turned pale, and after a long while she said, "How could there be no one? We are all made of flesh and blood, and we have such a deep emotional foundation."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at He Meiyu quietly without saying anything.
He Mingyu could see that her elder sister didn't want a divorce at all. She kept talking and crying, just wanting others to help her persuade Wu Yixin to come back.
Zhao Xiangwan's silence made He Meiyu realize something, and she looked at him nervously: "I, I just want to hear your opinion."
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "My opinion is not important."
When problems arise in a marriage, it is difficult to come up with a unified standard as to whether to divorce decisively, repair the relationship actively, or endure it passively.
Zhang Yalan's parents, her father cheated on her and committed domestic violence, but her mother was determined not to divorce. Zhang Yalan tried to persuade her countless times, but her mother refused to give in. The reason was money.
Yuan Dongmei agreed to divorce as long as the money problem was solved.
Wang Qiankun, the man involved in the case of the headless female corpse, was the owner of a Karaoke bar. Cheating was a common occurrence for him. His wife Cao Caiyan had never thought about divorce because she had three children. She came from the countryside and had lived with him for many years. She would not be able to survive away from home.
So she attributed all the problems to those shameless women, and thought that as long as she killed all the women around Wang Qiankun, the family would return to normal.
Wei Meihua and Zhao Qingyun, one is the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, and the other is a poor child in the countryside. They met and fell in love when they were sent to the countryside as educated youth. They returned to the city, even abandoning their infant daughter. They got married and had children, and had money, power and leisure. Their interests and emotions were intertwined, and their social relations had long been complicated. When Zhao Qingyun's affair was exposed, Wei Meihua chose to forgive him at the first time.
Divorce? Wei Meihua can't afford to gamble or lose.
He Meiyu heard Zhao Xiangwan's tone and seemed unwilling to help, and she became a little anxious: "You just said that it was not my fault. Since it is not my fault, it must be his fault. He is wrong, he must admit it, he must change. As the old saying goes, it is good to correct mistakes as soon as you know them, right?"
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were calm: "But he doesn't think he's wrong. Maybe he is wrong, but he doesn't want to change. What can you do?" This is not a crime, and legal means cannot be used to punish him. He Meiyu has deep feelings for Wu Yixin, and she is afraid to take action. What can Zhao Xiangwan do?
He Meiyu was so upset that tears fell again: "Then, then you have to find a way to make him admit his mistake."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "So what if you admit your mistakes? You are the one who wants to save the marriage, not him."
Hearing this, He Meiyu could no longer suppress the pain in her heart. She covered her face and began to sob: "This is not okay, that is not okay, what should I do?"
Seeing her elder sister so sad, He Mingyu thought of how she often carried him around when they were little. She couldn't bear it and put her arm around her shoulders, "Don't be sad, elder sister. You still have me."
[What's the use of you? Can you give me money? Can you cook dinner for me every day? Can you make Xiaohong call me daddy? Can you hug me and say sweet words to me and go to bed with me? Wuwuwuwu... You can't do anything, what's the use of you? ]
Alas, marriage involves money, sex, love, and the affection of children. It is so complicated that it is impossible for an outsider to simply say "you still have me" to support it.
Seeing that He Mingyu felt sorry for her elder sister, and thinking about the complexity of family relationships that the Sheng Chenghao case had made him think about, Zhao Xiangwan decided to say a few more words.
Human anxiety often comes from fear of the unknown.
Because you have never done this before, you don’t know whether it will bring danger, and you will feel worried, fearful and anxious.
Why did the reform of state-owned enterprises that broke the iron rice bowl cause widespread anxiety among laid-off employees? It was because they didn't know what the future would be like. In fact, after the incident really happened, many people got better and better.
The reason why He Meiyu was afraid of divorce was because she was afraid of her future life after the status quo changed.
"Sister He, don't cry. Tears can't solve any problems. Why don't we imagine how your life will be after the divorce?"
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was gentle and clear, like a stream flowing through her heart, which gradually calmed He Meiyu's restless heart. She stopped crying and raised her head.
Zhao Xiangwan handed her a tissue and waited for her to wipe the tears from her face before he slowly began to speak.
Man is the hero, money is the courage.
The first step is to talk about money.
"Whose house do you live in now?"
He Meiyu's voice still had a tremor in it: "We work in the same unit. When we got married, they took into consideration that I would have to get pregnant and take care of the child in the future, so they chose to allocate a house in our unit for my convenience."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Very good, then even if you get divorced, you will still have a house to live in and you won't be displaced, right?"
He Meiyu nodded and said, "I have a work unit and a job, so I'm not displaced."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "You are right. You have a formal unit and do accounting work. Your monthly income is enough to support yourself. If you feel that it is difficult to raise your daughter, you can let your husband pay part of the alimony in the divorce agreement. So... although your life may be affected in the short term, it is not impossible to survive, right?"
All along, her family had either advised her to divorce or to endure. No one had ever discussed with her what life would be like after divorce. He Meiyu was attracted by Zhao Xiangwan's words and her mind became clearer: "Yes, I can live on."
The second step is to talk about sex again.
Chinese people are ashamed to talk about sex, and always feel that anything involving sex would be indecent.
Many married women encounter cold violence due to sexual indifference. This silent torture will make a woman with normal physiological needs fall into constant self-doubt - am I shameless? Am I wrong to ask for things like this? Am I the same as those lowly women?
However, the core of marriage originally includes sex, safe and reliable sex.
Women are relatively conservative and are used to seeking sexual comfort within marriage, but men can obtain it through other means and spend money to enjoy sex of higher quality than within marriage, so men are more likely to abandon marriage than women.
Although Zhao Xiangwan is not married yet, she understands human nature.
"Sister He, although this question is somewhat private, I hope you can answer me honestly. Since your husband cheated on you, how often have you had sex?"
He Meiyu's face turned red, then pale, and she remained silent for a long time.
He Mingyu glanced at Zhao Xiangwan: "Xiangwan, why are you..."
Zhao Xiangwan stopped He Mingyu with his eyes.
The phoenix's eyes are sparkling and majestic.
He Mingyu shut his mouth and didn't dare to interrupt.
He Meiyu clenched her hands tightly together, twisting her fingers into knots. After struggling for a long time, she finally spoke: "He, he refused to be with me...for half a year..."
He Mingyu was so angry when he heard this that his scalp was exploding. He stood up immediately and said, "This beast!"
Seeing her moving so abruptly with her big belly, Zhao Xiangwan quickly held her waist and said, "Be careful, don't get excited, don't get excited."
He Mingyu did not sit down. She held her lower back with one hand and waved the other hand in the air: "Is Wu Yixin still a man? Ah?! Is he a man? Other men who cheated on their wives would at least not dare to ignore them like this, but he is so brazen about it. What does he want to do? Stay faithful to his mistress? Stay faithful to his fucking wife!"
Hearing her sister stand up for her and not looking down on her desire for sex, He Meiyu couldn't control her tears and they fell down: "I, I, I dare not say it, for fear that you will scold me for being shameless."
He Mingyu gritted her teeth and poked the eldest sister on the forehead with her finger: "You, you, we grew up together, what can't we talk about? Oh, it's OK for their men to go out and have prostitutes, but women are not allowed to ask their husbands for money?"
He Mingyu is the gentlest member of the Criminal Investigation Brigade's Serious Crime Unit. Unexpectedly, her temper became much more explosive after she became pregnant.
Zhao Xiangwan whispered, "Sister He, if your husband never has sex with you, what's the point of such a marriage?"
He Mingyu also yelled, "Yes, big sister, I support your divorce! This bastard must have eaten too much outside, so he pretended to be dead and tired when he got home. He is not a good person. When he married you, he said so nicely that he would treat you well for the rest of his life and would never let you suffer any grievances. I see, all the grievances that big sister has suffered were caused by him alone."
After speaking out the grievances that were suppressed in her heart, He Meiyu felt much more relaxed. "You ate too much outside, so you pretended to be dead and tired when you got home. You are not a good person." Such words suddenly untied the moral shackles that bound her. He Meiyu sat on the sofa without getting up, but straightened up, holding He Mingyu's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.
Money, she has it.
He doesn't give me sex.
In a marriage like this, what is there to be nostalgic about?
But what about love? What about the vows we made? What about the happy moments we had? Helping each other while working in the countryside, studying together by borrowing textbooks, buying groceries and cooking together after marriage, holding the child's hand and watching her grow up day by day...
What about these wonderful times? Are they all thrown away?
He Meiyu murmured, "I know, I know the reason. I am a career woman, I can survive alone with Xiaohong, but... the lace tablecloth on the coffee table at home was crocheted by me, and the curtains in the living room were made by me using the sewing machine with the cloth I bought. There are so many photos in the album of our family of three taken at the park gate, in the photo studio, and at school. Are you just going to throw them away like this?"
What gives Zhao Xiangwan the biggest headache is the third thing in marriage.
--Affection.
Money, if you don’t have it, you can earn it.
Sex can be had by anyone.
But what about love? Can those years woven with love, the beautiful memories of sharing joys and sorrows, and supporting each other, be wiped out with a divorce?
"Sister! He has already cheated on her, what's the point of you still dwelling on the past? What's the point of you not wanting to give up those things? He is willing to give them up, he is willing to give them up!" He Mingyu stomped her feet, wishing she could knock open her sister's head and put her own courage and determination into it.
Zhao Xiangwan left and served hot tea to the two sisters.
He handed a cup to He Mingyu: "The tea is hot, drink it slowly, don't rush."
He handed the other cup to He Meiyu: "The tea is cold, don't drink it."
The two sisters took the tea and looked thoughtful.
They are all smart people, and they suddenly understood it in an instant.
He Mingyu sighed, took the hot tea, sat down quietly and said nothing more.
He Meiyu took the hot tea, held it in her palm, and sat on the sofa in a daze, her heart as if being cut by a knife: Do I really have to let it go? Do I really have to give it up? Do I really have to return all the past years to zero?
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was like a summer breeze, soothing He Meiyu's anxiety.
"The happiness you once had is real. You and he have been married for so many years, so you must have had happy times. Just leave them in the photo albums, on the furniture, and in every corner. Why throw them away so rudely?"
"Divorce, divorce, just leaving the marriage, it doesn't mean forgetting the past."
"Sister He, a forced marriage is not a happy one. Your husband loved you before, but his feelings have changed now. Why force it? It's better to let go."
He Meiyu thought about it for a long time, took Zhao Xiangwan's words to heart, showed a firm look on her face, and finally made up her mind: "I'm leaving!"
He Mingyu was overjoyed and was about to praise her elder sister when she heard Zhu Feipeng's voice from outside the door: "Mingyu, Mingyu..."
Then there was a knock on the door.
He Mingyu felt a little strange and said to Zhao Xiangwan, "Xiao Fei is here."
Zhao Xiangwan walked over and opened the door. He Mingyu walked slowly to Zhu Feipeng and said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiangwan and I still have something to talk about."
Zhu Feipeng looked a little anxious. "The emergency room of the Provincial Third Hospital called my eldest sister, but couldn't find her anywhere. Later, they called me and said that my eldest sister's husband was in trouble and asked my eldest sister to go there quickly."
He Meiyu, who had just made up her mind to divorce, was shocked to hear that her husband had an accident. She rushed to the door, looked at Zhu Feipeng and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to Yi Xin?"
Zhu Feipeng quickly replied, "The emergency room of the Provincial Third Hospital called and said that my eldest brother-in-law was stabbed and is being rescued. They need a signature from your family. They couldn't find you anywhere, so they finally found me."
Although she had decided to divorce, He Meiyu was still a little anxious when she heard that her husband had been stabbed: "Let's go, I'll go over right away."
He Mingyu wanted to accompany her elder sister, but Zhu Feipeng was worried: "You are already more than six months pregnant, you can't run around."
Zhao Xiangwan took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll go with Sister He."
Zhu Feipeng was familiar with her, so he didn't hesitate to nod and said, "Okay, I'll go drive. Mingyu, go home and have a rest, and wait for my call."
After Zhao Xiangwan said hello to Ji Zhao, he rushed to the hospital with Zhu Feipeng and He Meiyu.
He Meiyu sat in the car, clenched her fists, and kept talking: "How could she be stabbed? How could she be stabbed when she was fine? Who did it? Is she in danger? Did you call the police? Has the murderer been caught?"
Zhu Feipeng answered the elder sister while driving: "He was stabbed in the abdomen and lost a lot of blood. The hospital has already started resuscitation and is just waiting for you to sign and pay. We don't know if his life is in danger yet, but we will know when we get to the hospital."
Years of experience in handling cases has taught Zhu Feipeng that if someone is “chopped” with a knife, it is generally not a big problem. If a knife is chopped on the body, the blade is long, the contact surface is large, and there are bones and muscles to protect it, so most of the injuries are external. But if someone is “stabbed” with a knife, especially in the abdomen, waist, or chest, the knife tip is sharp, the contact surface is small, and it penetrates the body and injures the internal organs, then it is hard to say.
He Meiyu was extremely anxious and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "The knife wound has put him in the operating room. He will be out in two hours. Don't worry."
He Meiyu grabbed Zhao Xiangwan's hand, her face pale. "Tell me, did he offend someone outside and make an enemy? Otherwise, who would stab him for no reason? He is just an accountant in a unit. He goes to work and comes home on weekdays. He has no chance to meet those people in society."
Zhao Xiangwan reminded her: "Could it be the one who cheated on you?"
Although she hated her husband for cheating on her, He Meiyu never cursed him and didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, they had been married for more than a decade and had a child together, so He Meiyu didn't want Wu Yixin to die.
After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn it! Who told him to fool around with other people? This is retribution, right? Pah!" As she cursed, tears fell again, "Yixin, you can't die. Once this is over, I will divorce you, and it's up to you whether you live or die in the future."
The three rushed to the hospital.
When the nurse in the emergency room heard that He Meiyu was Wu Yixin's wife, she hurriedly brought the consent form for surgery for her to sign: "When the patient came here, he was still conscious, but he lost too much blood and the incision in his lower abdomen was very deep. The situation was urgent, so he was directly pushed into the operating room for treatment. The person who sent him here said that he was not a family member and could not sign, so he was waiting for you to come. Hurry up and sign and pay the money."
He Meiyu was already confused and hurriedly signed the consent form for the surgery. Zhu Feipeng helped her pay the money, while Zhao Xiangwan asked the nurse, "Who brought him here? Did you call the police?"
The nurse pointed at a man and a woman sitting in the corridor and said, "Look, these two brought him here. They refused to call the police, so we, the nurses on duty, called the police. I guess the police will be here soon."
Zhao Xiangwan walked up to the two men and showed his police ID: "Did you bring him here?"
The man was about twenty years old, with dyed yellow hair and a black T-shirt with a big skull printed on the chest. He looked like a gangster, but he was no longer arrogant. He was shaking all over, obviously scared. "I, I didn't expect it. I was just angry that he, a married man, was still clinging to Yan Zi, so I argued with him. I only stabbed him once, and I was scared when I saw the blood, so I sent him to the hospital. He, won't die, right?"
[What will I do if I die? Will I be shot? I’m only 22 years old, I don’t want to die yet, Mom…Mom…]
You stabbed someone, and now you know how to call mom?
Zhao Xiangwan snorted in his heart and turned his gaze to the woman sitting next to him.
A very young girl, without any makeup, with long hair draped over her shoulders, a pretty and delicate face, and a red dress that made her exquisite figure look very sexy. Her hands were clenched tightly, her knuckles were a little white, and she was obviously very nervous.
The woman in the red dress noticed Zhao Xiangwan's gaze, raised her head, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
[Police? So what if the police come? I didn't stab the person, so even if he dies, it has nothing to do with me.]
Zhao Xiangwan stood in front of her, his tone was very cold and hard: "Name?"
The woman in the red dress turned her head away and replied reluctantly, "Miao Chunyan."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Miao Chunyan, what is your relationship with the injured person?"
Miao Chunyan didn't know how to answer and hesitated for a moment.
The gangster answered, "The old man was pestering her and she had no choice."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at the gangster again: "Your name?"
The gangster immediately lowered his head and said sadly: "Comrade police, my name is Shan Zhenghao."
Zhao Xiangwan pointed at Miao Chunyan and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"
Shan Zhenghao said: "I am her boyfriend."
Boy friend?
It seems that Miao Chunyan, the woman with whom He Meiyu's husband cheated, is playing both sides.
While he was questioning, He Meiyu rushed over like a gust of wind and slapped him in the face.
"Snap!" There was a crisp sound.
He Meiyu slapped Miao Chunyan's face hard, and her cheeks turned red immediately.
Miao Chunyan didn't react at all. She covered her face and stared at He Meiyu blankly.
Shan Zhenghao's face changed, he stood up suddenly, and was about to take action, but was knocked to the ground by Zhu Feipeng who came running. Zhu Feipeng pressed Shan Zhenghao's back with one leg, twisted him behind his back, and quickly handcuffed him.
He Meiyu was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Miao Chunyan and cursed: "It was you, the shameless one, who caused my husband to be rescued in the operating room! You evil person!"
Even though Shan Zhenghao was pinned to the ground by Zhu Feipeng, he still loudly defended Miao Chunyan: "It has nothing to do with her. I stabbed her. If you have anything to say, come at me!"
Zhu Feipeng used his right knee to hit Shan Zhenghao hard in the lower back, causing him to scream in pain.
Zhu Feipeng said coldly: "You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to be a hero!"
The Third Provincial Hospital is under the jurisdiction of the Wufulu Police Station. Looking at Huang Yi and Yao Guocheng rushing over, Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyebrows: Seeing old friends again.
Yao Guocheng is about to retire, but he still sticks to his post. Huang Yi is promoted to deputy director of the police station. The master and apprentice work diligently. As soon as they received the call from the hospital, they rushed over immediately. Seeing Zhu Feipeng handcuffing someone, Zhao Xiangwan stood solemnly by the side, and his heart sank: "What happened? Someone was murdered?"
If someone dies, the nature of the situation is completely different.
Two people from the City Bureau's Serious Crime Squad have arrived. It looks like there's a big problem.
Zhao Xiangwan saw that they were acquaintances and nodded and greeted them: "Officer Yao, Director Huang, hello. The injured person is He Mingyu's eldest brother-in-law, and he is currently being rescued."
Huang Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the injured person was not dead.
The people from the police station met with those from the serious crime squad and all looked at Shan Zhenghao and Miao Chunyan.
Shan Zhenghao is single: "I just saw that old man pestering Yan Zi. Yan Zi told me that the old man named Wu Yixin always came to the hair salon to do something to her. She was young and worked under the boss, so she didn't dare to offend him. I was so angry that I asked Yan Zi to ask him out. We had a few arguments and then we did it."
Huang Yi asked: "Did you bring a knife?"
Shan Zhenghao nodded: "I have seen that old man, he is tall and fat. I was afraid that I couldn't beat him, so I brought a knife with me to scare him. But I didn't expect that he was so stubborn. He kept saying that I was the one who was pestering Yan Zi and he wanted to stand up for Yan Zi. I got angry and took action."
Huang Yi took the statement and asked Shan Zhenghao to sign it.
This case doesn't seem to be very complicated. It just depends on whether Wu Yixin is dead or alive.
He Meiyu looked at Miao Chunyan viciously: "You evil bastard! You are such a scumbag! You have no shame!"
She always used the same few insults over and over again, without coming up with anything new.
Miao Chunyan shed tears silently.
Her long black hair was shiny and smooth. She lowered her head halfway, looking very pitiful: "Sister, I'm sorry for hurting Brother Wu. I don't blame you for hitting me."
He Meiyu was so angry at her that she was lying on her back, and Wu Yixin was stabbed by her and was lying in the operating room with no one knowing whether he was alive or dead. And she still has the nerve to say that she doesn't blame me?
Everyone's eyes were on Miao Chunyan. She bit her lip and continued to speak: "When Brother Wu entered the operating room, he held my hand and said that he didn't blame me. I was really sad. I didn't expect it to be like this. I told Brother Wu very clearly that I had a boyfriend and I couldn't date him, but he always came to me, giving me flowers and gifts. I was a working girl and didn't dare to offend customers. I could only respond casually. I didn't know that he would be so sincere and come to me every few days. I'm sorry, sister, I know Brother Wu and you are a couple in distress. I wish you all the best, and please let me go. I really, really don't want to hurt him."
After saying this, Miao Chunyan cleared herself of all blame.
It is truly a peerless white lotus.
Just like Xie Xianyun, everything was done by others and had nothing to do with her.
He Meiyu was so that she trembled all over. "You, you are so shameless! My husband has been hooking up with you for half a year. I don't know how much money he spent on jewelry and clothes. He doesn't even want me, his wife who has been through thick and thin, and he wants to divorce me. Now you say he is angry you? You don't want to date him? I... I'm 39 years old, and this is the first time I've seen such a shameless woman like you!"
Miao Chunyan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, as frightened as a deer in the forest: "Sister, don't wrongly accuse me. I didn't ask Brother Wu for any jewelry or clothes, and I didn't ask him to divorce. I have a boyfriend. Does Brother Wu have other women outside? You must have misunderstood."
[I've seen many yellow-faced women like you. All you know is talking about face and feelings. Tsk! What's the use of these things? Can face bring money? Can feelings make money? I don't know how many men have died under my hands. Why do you still care about that old man who is almost bald? Humph! ]
How many men have died under his hands? Zhao Xiangwanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Want to escape unscathed? Forget it!
Zhao Xiangwan took a step forward and stood beside He Meiyu, looking at Miao Chunyan coldly: "Miao Chunyan, you are good at playing with two men."
Miao Chunyan lowered her eyelids and said calmly, "What did you say? I don't understand. You policemen are the ones with good tactics. Do you want to team up to bully a weak woman like me?"
Shan Zhenghao shouted again: "Don't bully her. I am responsible for my own actions, and it has nothing to do with Yan Zi."
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at him and said, "Everyone has his own responsibility. Can you bear it? If intentional injury causes serious injury, the penalty is more than three years but less than ten years. If it causes death or disability, the penalty is more than ten years, life imprisonment or death penalty. Can you bear the consequences of this?"
Shan Zhenghao's heart sank, and he was actually scared to death, but with the beauty beside him, he had to act like a hero: "I'm not afraid! For Yan Zi, I can even give up my life."
[God bless, please don't let that Wu die. If he dies and I go to jail, what will happen to my mother? She is old and one of her eyes is blind. If she gets sick, who will take care of her?]
Zhao Xiangwan laughed sarcastically: "If you go to jail, your Yan Zi girlfriend will fly away. If you go to jail, your family will cry every day. You are sold and you still help others count money, you idiot!"
Shan Zhenghao opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
