Chapter 42 The Best is Too Hateful
Lu Xiang didn't know what kind of scumbag could give his own daughter such an insulting name. She lost her mind and wanted to beat the bastard up.
Children as young as one or two years old can sense the outside world's emotions, and my niece is already five years old. How much harm does such a name cause to her!
Fu Qinhui put his arm around Lu Xiang's shoulders from behind, which helped her calm down a little.
Her body was trembling slightly just now.
Mother Lu paid all the forty-plus yuan she had, tears streaming down her face.
When Lu Xiang came to her senses, she realized that her whole family had collapsed. She couldn't collapse, so she had to say, "Mom, don't cry."
On the bench outside the hospital, the white door curtain had the word "Silence" written on it in large letters. They could only cry silently and suppress their emotions. This made the man hugging Lu Xiang say, "I really didn't know your eldest sister lived like this!"
Mr. Lu said that when they first got married, they went to see Lu Ping, but as soon as they got there, their son-in-law angrily mocked them for coming to ask for money and to take advantage of their married daughter.
They both wanted to scold this jerk, but they were afraid that Lu Ping would be bullied by his son-in-law, so they never went there again after they came back. Unexpectedly, this jerk became even more of a jerk.
Lu Xiang had wanted to wait for her eldest sister to come back and see what she meant before making a decision, but now her eldest sister was in the emergency room, her life uncertain, her niece malnourished and skinny, and the man was still at large. "Bastard, I'm going to kill him."
Fu Qinhui said, "I have a junior high school classmate who also lives in your eldest sister's village. I'll ask him about the situation there first."
Lu Xiang said, "Let's split up. I'll call the police. It's a disgrace to the law if this kind of person can get away with it."
Fu Qinhui also knew that Lu Xiang was getting angry. He said, "Okay."
Father and Mother Lu were usually timid and afraid of offending others. They were even more afraid of how the other party would retaliate against them before they even started to offend them.
But now, seeing Lu Xiang was about to call the police again, they didn't object at all. What their eldest son-in-law had done was too much. They all wanted to die with him.
Lu Xiang found out where the police station was, and then went there with her little niece in her arms.
Lu Xiang is the only pillar of the Lu family now, and she must not fall.
But when it comes to reporting crimes, many police officers are reluctant to go to the countryside to enforce the law. This is because the village is protective of its own shortcomings, and the clan is powerful. Police generally don't like to get involved in family affairs, but this time, the behavior of that scumbag touched her bottom line.
She must win the sympathy of the police and get them to agree to file a case.
She wanted to cry pitifully, pretending to cry, and then calmly deal with the family affairs after the case was filed. But holding her little niece was so light, and tears fell uncontrollably.
When I got to the police station, I couldn't stop crying.
"Comrade police officer, I want to call the police." Lu Xiang said.
The policeman said, "What's wrong? Don't be anxious. Just speak slowly."
Lu Xiang said, "I'm going to sue my eldest brother-in-law for intentional homicide and child abuse." She paused and cried, "My eldest sister was the most honest girl in the surrounding villages. After she married an old bachelor from another village, she was beaten and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. This is my five-year-old niece!"
There were also some parents among the police officers. When they saw the child, they said, "I thought she was only two or three years old!"
Lu Xiang showed the doctor's diagnosis for the child: "Severe malnutrition." This was the 1980s. It wasn't the era of starvation. Now, everyone was eating state-funded food, and every family ate from a large pot. How could a child starve like this? It was pure abuse.
Lu Xiang said, "You don't even know this child's name. You shouldn't mistreat someone like this. My family isn't wealthy, but we've raised our daughters with care. And now, in his house, they're treated worse than animals. I'm going to sue him."
In the 1980s, legal education hadn't been fully implemented, and the term "litigation" was still a foreign term. The county court hadn't seen a single case in years. Lu Xiang was really furious this time!
The police officer said, "This matter..." They were supporting the city on some major cases and were short-staffed. They needed someone to come on duty every day. Although he felt sympathy for Lu Xiang's situation, he really couldn't deal with it with him.
But seeing Lu Xiang holding the child, crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Just as he was about to refuse him, Officer Chen, who had just returned from studying in the city, said, "Lu Xiang?" It was Officer Chen who had handled the substitutionary marriage case.
Police Officer Chen has a strong sense of justice. He was very angry after hearing what Lu Xiang said. He also has children, and when he saw the mother and daughter being tortured like this, he felt the same way.
But he quickly said, "The office is having difficulties right now and is short-staffed." Those like him who were studying abroad would soon be seconded to the municipal bureau. Only three people would remain in the county.
Lu Xiang said, "First, help me file a case, then do a medical examination and issue a report. I will sue them myself."
The police were stunned, and the look in Lu Xiang's eyes seemed even more unfathomable. Could an ordinary person know so much about the materials needed for a lawsuit?
However, doing so can relatively reduce their workload without requiring them to make adjustments.
The police soon sent people to the county hospital, where they had a department cooperating with them to issue a professional disability assessment report.
At Lu Xiang's insistence, a case was filed for her.
As they walked out of the police station, they saw Li Yucai riding his bicycle past. He also saw Lu Xiang, stopped to greet her, and asked, "Why did you go to the police station?"
Lu Xiang said, "There are some things. By the way, do you know any lawyers?" She had almost no connections in the county.
Li Yucai said: "Yes, I recommend it to you."
Lu Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to duck neck next time."
Li Yucai had always felt that he and his grandfather owed Lu Xiang a favor. He had offered financial compensation several times, but Lu Xiang had always refused. Now that he could finally be of use, he had to do his job well and not let down his team.
This time Lu Xiang must have come to the police station because she had something wrong. Seeing that Lu Xiang was anxious, he did not stop her. Anyway, he had acquaintances in the police station, so he would go in and ask them and find out!
Lu Xiang went to the hospital with Officer Chen. She happened to see the doctor talking to Lu's parents outside the emergency room, so she went to meet them.
The doctor said, "The patient suffered lung damage, three broken ribs, and urinary incontinence from the beating. He has recovered after emergency treatment, but will need to rest for at least a year."
The Lu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had been rescued.
Lu Xiang and Officer Chen went to get the medical reports. Officer Chen left only after getting the medical reports for both the adult and the child.
Lu Xiang said to her mother solemnly: "Mom, I will make him pay the price." She swore!!!
