Chapter 84: No Daylight 13 He knows his limits.
Chapter 13
Zhou Qian’s parents’ home is not far away, it is also in a nearby town, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.
Her family's situation was indeed not good. Her mother had a serious kidney disease and had to rely on dialysis to sustain her life. Her brother was paralyzed in bed after a car accident. Her father's health was not very good either and he could not do any work. If Zhou Qian did not support them, their lives would be very difficult.
When the couple learned that the police had come to inquire about their daughter, they immediately asked, "What happened to my daughter? What happened?"
"She's fine."
"So why did you come here to inquire about her?"
"There was a case that required her cooperation in the investigation, so I went to her home to inquire about the situation."
Father Zhou served each of them a cup of tea. "Officer, have some water."
"Thank you." Lu Changfeng asked them, "Are you ready? Okay, let's start asking questions."
"You ask."
"How is the relationship between Zhou Qian and Chu Yang?"
"It's fine." Zhou's mother said, "Chu Yang is very filial. He sends us a lot of things every month. He is worried that we are not living well."
Lu Changfeng: "Do they usually argue?"
"It's normal for a young couple to have arguments in their life." Zhou's mother lifted the hair beside her ear.
Zhou's father said: "As the saying goes: quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife."
“Then there will still be some minor friction.”
"What couple can live without any friction at all, don't you think, officer?" Father Zhou looked at Lu Changfeng.
This is true. When you are in a relationship, you will always quarrel. When you are married and living together, you can’t expect to have no friction, unless one of you is a Ninja Turtle.
"According to our investigation, Chu Yang has abused Zhou Qian more than once. Did you know about this?"
Both Zhou's mother and father nodded.
"Domestic violence is not a serious matter. Xixi has forgiven Chu Yang, and they are still living a good life."
Lu Changfeng: "How can domestic violence not be considered a serious matter? He has given your daughter a concussion. Aren't you afraid that he might get violent and beat your daughter to death one day?"
"Chu Yang won't do that." Father Zhou spoke for Chu Yang, "He knows his limits."
Zhou's mother said: "It's not the same thing as this. I've never heard of a man beating his wife to death."
They acted nonchalant, as if Zhou Qian was not their daughter, and seemed to be expressing their opinions on something that happened to a stranger.
The indifference made everyone uncomfortable.
Xiao Du said: "Zhou Qian is your biological daughter, why are you still turning your elbows outward and speaking on Chu Yang's side?"
Zhou's father and mother felt a little hot on their faces after hearing what was said.
Zhou's father said: "This woman is married, she has to listen to her husband."
A bell rang in the house.
It looks just like the school bell.
Several people looked towards the house.
Zhou's mother stood up and said, "My son may have something to ask me."
She walked towards the house.
Zhou Qian's brother had both legs amputated and his upper body was not in good condition, so he has been bedridden.
Zhou's mother asked him, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Qian's brother Zhou Jun said: "I want to talk to the police."
"What do you want to say to the police?" Zhou's mother's face changed slightly, "Don't make trouble."
Zhou Jun ignored his mother. Then ring the bell.
Lu Changfeng and the others also noticed something unusual. Logically, if Zhou Jun pressed the bell, Zhou's mother would go in and help him solve the problem. Even if she couldn't solve it, she would come out and ask his father for help.
Lu Changfeng got up and walked to the door of the room, and saw Zhou Jun lying on the bed.
"Are you a policeman?" Zhou Jun asked when he saw Lu Changfeng at the door.
Lu Changfeng nodded and asked, "Can I come in?"
Zhou Jun said: "Come in, I have something to say to you."
"Zhou Jun, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Changfeng looked at Zhou's mother and said, "Why are you threatening people in front of the police? Although he is your son, he is also a Chinese citizen. He is free to talk to us police officers and say whatever he wants. Even as a parent, you have no right to interfere."
Zhou's father and mother looked at their son on the bed with unhappy expressions.
"Do you want to disrupt the peace of this family?" Zhou's father stamped his feet, looking disappointed in his son.
Seeing how they were trying their best to stop him, Lu Changfeng became even more certain that Zhou Jun must know something.
Lu Changfeng winked at Jing Jue, "Can you two go out first? We want to talk to Zhou Jun."
Zhou's father and mother stood still.
Jing Jue walked up to them and said, "Please wait outside. We won't do anything to your son."
Zhou's father said, "This is my home. It doesn't make sense for you to tell me to leave. So we'll leave."
Before Lu Changfeng and the others could say anything, Zhou Jun on the bed spoke first: "Then I'll go out with them, that should be fine."
It was inconvenient for Zhou Jun to get up, and tossing and turning was simply torture for him.
Zhou's father turned away angrily, and Zhou's mother pointed in Zhou Jun's direction with anger, "Go ahead and make a scene. I'll see how you end it."
Zhou Jun ignored his parents' anger and turned to look at Lu Changfeng, "You are here for my sister's matter. Is she safe now?"
“It’s quite safe.”
"Did Chu Yang beat her again?"
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "No, she is fine now, nothing happened to her, you don't have to worry."
"Then why are you here?" Zhou Jun asked.
Lu Changfeng: "The case is still under investigation, so I can't tell you for now."
"Okay, then I won't ask."
"You know something, don't you?"
Zhou Jun nodded, lying on the bed feeling very weak, "Chu Yang often abuses Xixi at home, and even threatened us not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would not help our family anymore."
"I am completely unable to work in this state. My mother is in poor health and my father is old. Xixi has already paid too much for this family. I don't want her to suffer any more injustice."
"Can you tell me the details of what happened?"
Zhou Jun: "Xixi and Chu Yang met in college. At that time, I hadn't had any accidents yet. Later, I was injured in a car accident, and the responsibility of supporting the family fell on Xixi alone. She had to work hard part-time to afford the expenses of our family."
"Chu Yang was very nice at first, and he didn't dislike our family's situation at all. There was a time when my mother had to go to the provincial hospital for treatment, and he took care of me at my home for half a month. I was very touched."
"Chu Yang is a decent person, but he is a bit paranoid. He is so paranoid about Xixi that it's scary. He doesn't want Xixi to work. He wants her to stay at home all her life and not go anywhere. Everything changed after Xixi started working outside. He is always suspicious. He checks Xixi's phone every day and picks her up to get off work in the morning and evening to assert his sovereignty."
"We have learned some of these from other people," said Lu Changfeng.
Zhou Jun sighed, "These are not excessive. What is really excessive is that they originally agreed to have only one child. Because Xixi almost died in the delivery room during childbirth, Chu Yang had a vasectomy. Later, after Xixi went to work, he went to the hospital to have a vasectomy, trying to make Xixi pregnant so that she could only stay at home."
Lu Changfeng opened his eyes wide in shock.
"After half a year, Xixi didn't see any signs of pregnancy. He took Xixi to the hospital for a checkup in the name of a physical examination. He found out that Xixi could no longer have children. Since then, he has become more paranoid. In order to prevent Xixi from going out to work, he would throw the child into the bathtub and add ice cubes to the bathtub to make the child catch a cold. Later, Xixi discovered something was wrong and wanted to divorce Chu Yang, so Chu Yang hit Xixi."
"Don't his parents know? Don't your parents know?" Lu Changfeng found it unbelievable and unheard of that he would hurt his own son in order to keep his wife at home.
"Over the years, our family has been relying on Chu Yang for support and has been completely dependent on him. My parents don't care much about Xixi. On the contrary, every time Xixi gets hurt, as long as Chu Yang comes to apologize and gives more benefits, my parents will speak up for Chu Yang and persuade Xixi to forgive Chu Yang. Chu Yang's parents have almost no idea that their son has done these things."
Zhou Jun looked at the empty space in front of him where two legs should have been and said, "It's all because of me that Xixi got hurt. I know my parents can't do anything about it. They are old and won't live long. If Xixi and Chu Yang really get divorced, our family's situation won't get better in the future even if we sell all our property. Xixi alone can't bear the pressure of the current family. Besides, if we really get divorced, no one can guarantee what kind of crazy things Chu Yang can do. If Xixi gets into trouble, our family will be finished."
"Then why did you say it?" This is not in the interests their family is pursuing now.
Zhou Jun said: "My parents are typical son-loving people, but I have a good relationship with Xixi. She is my only sister. Our family situation is already like this. She has endured too much for us over the years, endless domestic violence, and has been hurt again and again. I am already like this. Since I broke my leg and became paralyzed in bed, I have been sentenced to have no future. Xixi is still young, and I hope she can be happy, instead of compromising for our family and continuing to endure."
"Xixi has serious psychological problems. Not only Xixi, but Haohao as well. Children are very sensitive. Dad's attitude towards mom and the things he did to him are all psychological shadows. If this continues, Xixi will go crazy and Haohao will also have problems." Zhou Jun pounded his chest and said, "I would rather die now than continue to drag Xixi down."
"Even if it's just to repay her parents for giving birth to her, over the years, Xixi has definitely repaid all the kindness. She really doesn't owe this family anything anymore."
Lu Changfeng felt very uncomfortable after listening to this. If his judgment was correct, Zhou Qian should have gone to extremes.
Anyone who heard that Chu Yang would attack his own son would find it unbelievable.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
It is difficult for children who grow up in such an abnormal family relationship to have a healthy mental health.
Who would have thought that a man who pretends to be a wife-loving man outside would be a beast at home.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Zhou Qian and you should have the best relationship, right?"
Zhou Jun nodded, turned on his phone and handed it to Lu Changfeng, "We chat every day. She used to be afraid that I would be bored, but now I am afraid that something bad will happen to her. My dad and I are probably the only two men she can contact at will. Any man other than us will drive Chu Yang crazy."
It makes one's scalp tingle.
Chu Yang's desire to control Zhou Qian has already reached a pathological state.
"If he finds out that Sissi is close to another man, a beating would be the least of his problems. He could do something even more extreme."
