"Two days before Zhou Zhuo's exam, on the night of July 5th, I saw he was tired from studying, so I asked him to go to the wheat field and fetch some firewood to refresh his mind.
Unexpectedly, he had been gone for a long time and hadn't come back. I was worried, so I went to the wheat field to look for him. But when I got there, I saw him lying on the ground with a brick thrown beside him. I immediately thought someone had knocked him unconscious while he wasn't paying attention..."
"I was terrified. My family are all honest people and have never offended anyone. Why would they be so cruel to Zhou Zhuo? I was about to go find the village chief when someone suddenly emerged from the shadows, grabbed my neck from behind, and threatened to kill my entire family if I told anyone about this."
"That person's tone was very fierce. It doesn't matter if I die, but Zhou Zhuo and Zhou Yuan are all my flesh and blood. If they are killed, how can I face their dead father...
Seeing that Zhou Zhuo didn't bleed, I thought he was fine, so I swallowed my anger and carried him back. But when Zhou Zhuo woke up the next day, he had forgotten everything that had happened. I felt like the sky had fallen..."
Lin Qingqing tried her best to control her emotions: "You didn't go to see the village chief?"
"No, I thought about going to the village chief, but before I could go, that man came out and threatened me again. He threatened me several times. I thought Zhou Zhuo was already like this. I found several doctors to treat him, and they all said that he couldn't be cured. I couldn't let him continue to be hurt. I was afraid that the man would really kill my whole family, so I accepted my fate..."
"Have you ever seen that man's face?"
Xue Guixiang shook her head sadly: "He always appears at night, with something on his head. I can't see what he looks like..."
…
Lin Qingqing didn't expect that her mother-in-law had such a big secret in her heart, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
It would be fine if Zhou Zhuo fell by himself, but he was beaten like this. Otherwise, Lin Qingqing would not be able to swallow this anger unless she got to the bottom of this matter.
She decided not to even tell the village chief, but to call the police directly and use the weapon of law to protect the people she cared about.
She couldn't sleep until late at night and finally fell asleep, but woke up very early the next day.
This was the first time she suffered from insomnia since her rebirth.
After she woke up, Zhou Zhuo also woke up. In the dark, he wrapped his big hand around hers and whispered, "Wife, are you unhappy?"
"No, I just remembered something."
Zhou Zhuo didn't know whether he understood or not, but he stretched out his strong arms and hugged her in his arms.
Both of them slept with their clothes on. Lin Qingqing didn't have the mind to think about anything else at the moment. She just felt that the hug was very warm and she could lean on it with confidence when she was tired.
Xue Guixiang also got up early. She prepared medicine for Zhou Zhuo and kept it warm on the stove.
A few days ago, Lin Qingqing bought a coal-burning stove and some coal, saying that with the stove, her mother-in-law wouldn't have to chop wood and cook so hard.
At this moment, the medicine was warming on the stove, and the smell of herbs was wafting through the yard.
At 5:30, they both got up on time, ate the breakfast prepared by Xue Guixiang, Zhou Zhuo took the medicine, and then they went out together.
They went to the police station first, and when they arrived, the police station had just opened.
Lin Qingqing went straight to Director Ma and told him what had happened to Zhou Zhuo. Director Ma asked the staff in charge of criminal investigation to record Lin Qingqing's words.
She asked Director Ma to solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise her mother-in-law would always live in the shadow of being threatened.
Director Ma listened to her words very carefully and asked, "When was the last time your mother-in-law was threatened?"
