(I forgot to update a chapter on the 17th, so I've made up for it. If you're interested, please go back and read chapter 160.)
Dong Qing was sleeping at home when his mobile phone rang. The call was from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The police said his employee was involved in a case and told him to go to the city police station immediately.
Li Yuzhu asked, "What happened again?"
Dong Qing said, "I don't know. They said one of our employees is involved in a case and they want me to go to the municipal bureau immediately."
Li Yuzhu said, "Who could it be? I'll go with you to see."
I sent the three kids to my parents' house during the day today, so it's convenient for the two of us to go out together.
Dong Qing nodded, got out of bed with his wife, dressed, and then walked into the yard.
Dong Qing opened the door and got into the car. His wife opened the gate, he drove the car onto the street, his wife locked the gate and got into the car, and Dong Qing started the car and drove towards the Municipal Bureau.
Dong Qing drove to the municipal police station, where the police recounted the events of the evening to him. The police stated, "After investigating the scene, Su Guifang's actions were entirely in self-defense and do not constitute a crime."
After hearing this, Dong Qing understood everything. He asked, "Since they are innocent, they should be released. When will my employee be allowed to go home?"
The police said, "Su Guifang's self-defense is clearly established, and the case can be dropped with her acquitted. However, the case still needs further deliberation. It's too late today, so whether she will be acquitted or not can only be decided tomorrow."
Dongqing asked, "Can I see her?"
Su Guifang was not considered a repeat offender, so the police said of course it was okay and led Dongqing into a temporary detention room.
Su Guifang sat on the bed in handcuffs, her face extremely pale. She saw Dong Qing and his wife crying.
Li Yuzhu said, "We know everything. The police said you acted in self-defense, and the law will give you a fair judgment. If things go smoothly, we can pick you up and take you home tomorrow."
Su Guifang cried, "Please, officers, sentence me to death. I don't want to live anymore."
With so much happening these past two days, Su Guifang's heart is dead; she has completely lost her will to live.
The police officer said, "If you are guilty, the law will judge you; if you are innocent, you will be released. Life will bring many setbacks, and you must be strong and live on when you encounter them."
At this point, Dong Qing and his wife could only offer comfort. After talking with Su Guifang for a while, they left the detention room. The police told them to come back at eight o'clock the next day to hear the results.
The next day, around 8 a.m., Dong Qing and his wife drove to the Municipal Bureau.
Su Guifang's actions were deemed legitimate self-defense, and the municipal bureau ultimately dropped the case, processed her release procedures, and released her on the spot.
The police entered the detention cell, unlocked Su Guifang's handcuffs, and said, "Su Guifang, the facts of your killing in self-defense are clear. You are released without charge and can go."
Su Guifang cried, "I won't leave! Please sentence me to death! I really don't want to live anymore!"
The police officer said, "I have a feeling you might not want to live because of this. I don't know what happened to you, but there's hope as long as you're alive. I hope you won't do anything foolish after you get out. I'll say it again, if you're guilty, you'll be sentenced; if you're not, we won't take you in. You can leave now."
Su Guifang followed the police into the courtyard, where the landlord was also waiting. Seeing Su Guifang being released, the landlord said, "Su Guifang, I don't care whether you're guilty of murder or not, but you've turned my house into a haunted house. Who will I rent to now? How are you going to compensate me for my losses?"
Dong Qing asked, "How much compensation are you planning to ask for?"
The landlord said, "I have a small courtyard with two rooms; give me 5,000 yuan to sell it to her."
Dong Qing took 5,000 yuan out of his bag and handed it to the landlord, saying, "Here's the money. Just bring me the keys to the house and the property certificate."
The landlord, perhaps prepared in advance, took out the property certificate and keys from his bag and handed them to Dongqing.
Even if it's a haunted house, it's still a house. Since Dongqing bought it, he should take it back. He said, "Give me a receipt, and write down your address so you can cooperate with me when transferring the property certificate."
The landlord said of course, found paper and pen, wrote out a receipt, added his workplace and address, and then handed the receipt to Dongqing before returning home.
Su Guifang didn't say a word. At this moment, she seemed like a foolish woman. No woman could bear such a big thing happening.
Su Guifang was his employee and also his mother-in-law's neighbor. With such a serious incident happening to her, Dongqing and his wife couldn't just ignore it from any perspective.
Li Yuzhu helped her into the car, saying, "I'm worried about where you stay in your current situation. Why don't you stay at my place for now?"
After listening to his wife's words, Dong Qing started the car and drove home.
Back home, the three of them got out of the car and went into the villa together.
They sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Li Yuzhu said, "Sister-in-law, it's all over now. I hope you can cheer up!"
Su Guifang lay on her lap and cried bitterly. After crying, she said, "Sister, what kind of fate do you think I have? I married your brother and he died of illness not long after. Believe it or not, I have to say that I have never provoked a man at home, but I have been called a slut in the village. Tell me, who did I offend?"
After your second brother Wang died, I wanted to remarry but no one wanted me. I just found someone I liked, but he committed suicide the day before yesterday. Am I really destined to bring bad luck to my husbands? I'd rather be dead than live like this.
Li Yuzhu also heard a lot of gossip from Su Guifang at her parents' home. Sometimes, spittle can really drown a good woman.
Li Yuzhu once believed that Su Guifang had problems with her conduct, but she no longer thinks so. In the two years that Su Guifang has worked at the bean product factory, she has never had an affair.
After what happened last night, Li Yuzhu finally realized that Su Guifang was a good woman.
If she were that kind of despicable woman, she would have submitted to the man who raped her, because chastity wasn't that important to her, and she wouldn't have lost anything afterward, which fully demonstrates that she was a virtuous woman who kept her chastity pure.
Li Yuzhu said, "I believe you are a good woman. I don't believe in superstitions, and I certainly don't believe you brought Erwang to his death. My friend's wife died during childbirth, but Dongqing and I introduced him to someone, and now they have a child and are doing just fine!"
Dong Qing said, "You're 27 years old this year. This can't go on. Master Zhang from the tricycle factory is a very honest man. His wife died of illness not long after they got married. He's 28 years old this year and has no children. If you're willing, I can introduce you to him."
After hearing this, Su Guifang remained silent for a long time. In the end, she still wanted to find a man to spend her life with, and then nodded in agreement.
Dong Qing picked up his mobile phone and dialed Chen Hong's number, asking him to tell Zhang Jian to come to his house immediately.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jian arrived. He was about 1.7 meters tall and had a very ordinary appearance, even below average in the general population.
He walked into the living room, glanced at Su Guifang's red and swollen eyes, then sat down on the sofa and asked, "Did the general manager need to see me about something?"
In his view, the general manager would never invite him to his home for a talk, as he was not at that level.
Dong Qing cut to the chase: "Have you found a wife yet?"
