Chapter 54: Domestic Violence in the Era 9
After repeatedly interrogating the two, he finally figured out the whole story. He also learned many little-known secrets from the two collapsed people. He realized that he was too lenient with them before, especially Zhang Qiang.
Lin Xia sorted out the logic of the whole matter and figured out the whole story.
Sun Changjian was a poor little boy since childhood. He was beaten and scolded by his father, but he never dared to resist. Until the three-year Great Famine, he was so hungry that he dared to steal his father's wild vegetable cakes.
He was discovered by Sun's father, who chased him and beat him for most of the team. At that time, everyone in the team stayed at home to save their energy, so no one came out to stop them.
When he was about to be beaten to death, he met Zhang Qiang who was coming back from get off work.
Zhang Qiang maintained his image as a good guy and stopped the violence. Seeing the look in Sun Changjian's eyes as if he was looking at a god, he suddenly handed over a steamed bun to Sun's father as compensation.
From then on, Zhang Qiang tried to find out what Sun Changjian was thinking, intentionally or unintentionally. When he heard that "as long as there's food, you can give it to him and do whatever he wants", he was instantly moved.
He directly asked Sun Changjian to go to bed with him, and gave him a steamed bun every time.
Shocked, Sun Changjian couldn't resist the temptation and quickly agreed to the deal. That was when his miserable life began.
He was not interested in this matter in the first place, and Zhang Qiang was even less gentle and only cared about his own happiness. He endured it for a long time before he gradually got used to it and no longer rejected it.
In addition, he actually had some feelings for Zhang Qiang that went beyond gender. He felt safe nestling in the arms of a fatherly man, so he cooperated with Zhang Qiang very well. Until the famine ended, their relationship stabilized.
Zhang Qiang occasionally felt pity for this poor little guy and would secretly make things difficult for Sun's father. For example, every time after beating Sun Changjian, he would make Sun's father fall into a pit, kowtow, or be put in a sack, which were harmless little things.
Mr. Sun understood that the bad luck he encountered was because of his son. Seeing that his son had indeed grown up and he would have to take care of him in his old age, he stopped beating him and focused on beating his wife.
Sun Changjian was liberated from then on. Apart from still having to work to support his father, he began to hang out in the nearby production brigade, got to know some hooligans, and became a complete second-rate person.
For a long time afterwards, life was very peaceful, until one day, Sun's father, who was addicted to gambling and lost all his money, suddenly saw Sun Changjian and subconsciously prepared to follow him and beat his son to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, he saw a shocking scene. The two men walked into an empty mud house at the end of the village, one after the other. The door of the house was broken at that time, and Sun's father saw the whole process clearly.
Sun's father was also a strange man. He was not angry. In that era when continuing the family line was more important than anything else, he didn't care at all.
He didn't care about such things regarding his son, even though he was his only son.
Otherwise, why would he beat Sun's mother many times to cause her miscarriage when he was young, and finally forced her to give birth to Sun Changjian due to rumors in the team?
When he saw the two of them having sex, he immediately thought of blackmailing them.
He was thinking that when he had money to play cards in the future, with this leverage, Zhang Qiang would have to support him obediently, right?
Afterwards, he threatened Zhang Qiang excitedly.
Zhang Qiang appears gentle on the outside, but is actually a treacherous person at heart. The reason why he did not help Sun Changjian get rid of his father before was purely because the existence of Sun Changjian's father would help him better control Sun Changjian.
Now that the secret was exposed, Zhang Qiang was angry inside but did not show it on his face. He first comforted Sun's father, gave him money, and sent him away.
Sun's father was overjoyed and took the money to drink and gamble.
Zhang Qiang did not tell Sun Changjian about his father asking for money, but he began to casually talk about stories like how someone had drunk and didn't look at the road, and stepped into a pothole and fell to his death.
Then he lamented how Sun's father had such a smooth life. Poor Sun Changjian had to deal with such a father. He was bullied all his life and had to work hard to support him. It was really heartbreaking.
At that time, Sun Changjian seemed to be thinking about something, but he was too timid to do anything.
Two days later, he happened to run into Sun's father playing cards and coming back drunk.
Sun's father was drunk and pointed at Sun Changjian happily, saying that he knew his secret and then he would ask Zhang Qiang for money.
Upon hearing this, Sun Changjian became furious.
He would not allow anyone to destroy the relationship between him and Zhang Qiang. Brother Qiang knew that he would definitely abandon him, so he gradually developed murderous intent.
Looking at his father who could barely stand, Sun Changjian had never felt his father so weak. Impulsively, he picked up the stone mortar used to pound garlic and cracked his father's head open.
Looking at Sun's father lying on the ground, he panicked and remembered the story Zhang Qiang told him. He hit Sun's father again, killing him completely.
Then he dragged Sun's father to a large ditch with stones at the entrance of the village, smashed Sun's father down with his face facing the stones, and threw him in the ditch.
The next day, I heard that Sun's father had drunk and didn't look at the road, and fell into a ditch and died.
No one suspected that after Sun Changjian had been feeling uneasy for a while, he realized that his mother always looked at him with fear. He guessed that the patricide had been exposed, so he got angry and beat her up.
From then on, Sun's mother escaped from Sun's father's tiger's den and entered her son's wolf's den.
From then on, Sun Changjian completely became the second father of his grandson. He stopped working and let his grandson's mother support him. Occasionally, Zhang Qiang gave him some money to spend, and he lived a very comfortable life.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet.
Their affair was discovered by Zhang Qiang's wife Zhou Guilan. Zhou Guilan found it disgusting and wanted to divorce, but she felt it was unrealistic as divorce was not possible in the countryside, so she asked the couple to break up.
In order to appease Zhou Guilan, Zhang Qiang swore that they would have no further contact with each other. Zhou Guilan took the opportunity to suggest that Sun Changjian get married.
In her opinion, Sun Changjian got involved with Zhang Qiang because he had no wife.
But no one was willing to marry Sun Changjian, so they both turned their attention to the original owner who had just gone to the countryside.
Judging from his clothes and personality, I knew that the original owner was easy to control.
Sun Changjian is stupid, so Zhang Qiang gives him some advice. He has reaped the benefits of being a hero saving a beautiful woman, so he has the same experience as the original owner.
During the year when the original owner was living a good life, the two of them didn't really break up, they just reduced the frequency, and later they simply returned to normal. Zhou Guilan knew about it, but she couldn't control it and could only let it go.
After more than ten years of sneaking around, the two got tired of it. It happened that the Sun family was owned by Sun Changjian and they were not afraid of anyone finding out, so they boldly returned home, which led to the tragic death of the original owner.
Another small thing to mention is that Sun Changjian is not doing well because his father beat him severely when he was a child. It is not that Sun Changjian is not interested in men as Zhang Qiang imagined, nor is it that he was ruined by Zhang Qiang as Lin Xia thought.
Only Sun Changjian himself knew the truth, and then he was frightened by Lin Xia and blurted it all out.
......
After listening to the whole story, Lin Xia couldn't calm down. She usually didn't sympathize with the weak, but this weak person was the original owner and also her.
She was protecting her own people, so she might as well just kill these two scumbags.
But letting them die now seemed too easy for them. She really didn't want to go to the underground. There was money in the space, but it couldn't be seen in public.
If Sun Changjian is dealt with, and she doesn't have to work in the fields, and the family still has money to spend and food to eat, isn't it obvious that there is a problem?
So we have to find a reasonable way to make money before dealing with them.
It is not easy to let them off before then. It is best to plan a way to torture them, both mentally and physically.
Seeing that it was still early and the crowd of people fighting the fire gathered at the end of the village, Lin Xia had an idea.
Each of them knocked the two men unconscious with a palm strike, then pushed the family's wheelbarrow, stacked the two men on top of each other, and put straw on top to barely cover them.
Lin Xia went out.
