Chapter 73 It's Bigamy
"At that time, Ye Yunshuang was not married yet. The girl was too embarrassed to talk about such things and kept covering her face. It was Dalong's sister who was talking."
"I asked the patient, and she nodded and said that what Dalong's sister said was correct. I took her pulse again and found that she was indeed suffering from menstrual irregularities. That's when I prescribed Taohong Siwu Decoction for her."
"Then she came here by herself. Then she got married and her lover came with her."
"After I left the hospital, I really thought about not prescribing medicine anymore, but they came to me and insisted that I prescribe medicine. I thought that I had been treating this patient for a long time and her condition had indeed improved, so I started prescribing medicine again."
Xu Lai raised his finger and said, "Comrade, I can swear that this is really the only patient. I just prescribed those three prescriptions again."
Knowing that Xu Lai didn't know, Shen Zhiqiu softened her attitude towards him. She continued to ask, "Then do you know what the relationship is between the woman Wang Fengqin brought with her?"
"She seems to be her cousin. I heard the girl call her cousin. One time I went to have a drink with Dalong and ran into the girl at their house."
Shen Zhiqiu suddenly thought that since Xu Liang had a good relationship with Wang Yuelong, he should know something about the affairs of Wang Fengqin and Shen Daqiang.
She also read the information Yue Mingyuan found about Xu Liang. After sending Old Dong and several other people down, Xu Liang changed his name and moved to this area. At that time, her parents had just confirmed their relationship.
"By the way, are you familiar with Wang Fengqin's husband?" Shen Zhiqiu looked at Xu Liang.
"Old Shen? We know each other! I met him when he was dating Dalong's sister."
Speaking of Shen Daqiang, Xu Lai obviously relaxed a lot: "Old Shen is very generous. Every time he comes, he will buy me good cigarettes and good wine. I am looking forward to his coming."
"Then do you know when he and Wang Fengqin got married?"
"This..." Xu Lai thought for a moment: "It happened in the early spring of 1965."
"I remember that year when the cold snap hit in spring. It was so cold when they got married that icicles hung from their hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, like two snowmen."
"But the banquet was pretty good. Dalong's sister's relatives and friends all said that she married a capable and good man..."
Seeing Shen Zhiqiu's pretty face gloomy, Xu Lai didn't know what he had said wrong, his voice became lower and lower, and he didn't dare to continue.
Yue Mingli patted Shen Zhiqiu on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down. He then asked Xu Liang, "Did they invite a lot of people on their wedding day?"
"Yes, almost all of our neighbors have gone there."
“Are there many old neighbors still living here today?”
"A lot. Many of them are still there. Only a few have moved away."
Yue Mingli looked at his colleague who was responsible for recording the interrogation records. When he nodded, a young man next to him stepped forward and took the interrogation records.
After quickly scanning it, he handed the paper, pen and ink pad to Xu Liang: "Take a look. If there is no problem, sign and put your fingerprint at the bottom."
After Xu Liang signed and put his fingerprints on the document, his face was full of confusion. He didn't understand what they were looking for.
"Xiao Li, you go with him and ask him to bring a few more people who attended the wedding that year." Yue Mingli instructed the young man beside him, who was also his apprentice.
"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?" Yue Mingli warned Xu Liang.
Xu Liang nodded heavily: "Comrade, I understand, I understand."
The people who were brought here later told similar stories to what Xu Liang said. Shen Daqiang and Wang Fengqin's wedding was held more than half a year after he married Shen Zhiqiu. The neighbors didn't know that Shen Daqiang had another wife and they all thought he was Wang Fengqin's husband.
If we can find evidence that Shen Liya is Shen Daqiang's biological daughter, we should be able to basically convict Shen Daqiang and Wang Fengqin of bigamy.
But Shen Zhiqiu did not feel happy about this, instead he felt very upset.
How much pain did her mother go through?
She must have found out about Shen Daqiang and Wang Fengqin later, right?
She remembered that her mother had an argument with her father and said she wanted a divorce, but in return she was severely beaten by her father.
After that, her mother's health worsened and it became difficult for her to even get out of bed.
"Comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Lai asked nervously to Shen Zhiqiu, bringing her back to her senses.
Shen Zhiqiu stared into Xu Liang's eyes: "Xu Liang, do you still remember the Dong family?"
Xu Liang's face instantly lost all color, and he pointed at Shen Zhiqiu in horror: "You...are you a member of the Dong family?"
"I am half a member of the Dong family. My godfather is Dong Hesong."
"Here they are, as expected. I knew they wouldn't let me go."
Xu Liang knelt down in front of Shen Zhiqiu with a thud, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Comrade, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please let me go!"
"Back then...I was confused for a moment. I was still young at that time, and I was just following orders."
Shen Zhiqiu dodged to the side and avoided Xu Liang: "It's no use telling me these things, you should go and tell my grandfather."
"You said you were confused and you were still young, so you want to erase the things you did back then?"
"Do you know that my grandfather's parents were forced to death by you? His daughter died of illness on the road. The child was only four years old!"
"I...I know. I know everything."
Xu Liang trembled and replied: "It is precisely because I know that I am afraid."
"I didn't expect Dong Bo to commit suicide. I really just wanted to vent my anger. I didn't mean to kill him."
"I have had nightmares since Uncle Dong died. I always dream that Uncle Dong came to take my life, so I changed my name and where I live."
"But what is coming will come. You can't escape it. You can't escape it."
Xu Lai stood up and wiped away the tears and snot on his face. His eyes were firm, as if he had made some kind of decision: "Comrade, where is Brother Dong now? I will go and apologize to him!"
She knew that this was a concern for Mr. Dong, so she promised Xu Liang that she would take him to see Mr. Dong in a few days.
The weather was a bit hot today, which made Shen Zhiqiu, who was already in a bad mood, even more depressed.
"Zhi Qiu." Tian Man waved to Chen Zhi Qiu on the roadside.
Shen Zhiqiu forced a smile, stopped beside Tian Man, and got out of the car: "Sister-in-law."
"Zhi Qiu, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well." Tian Man asked with concern.
Shen Zhiqiu touched his hot face and said, "Maybe I ran outside for a long time and got a little heatstroke, but it's nothing serious."
"You have just finished the confinement period, so don't overwork yourself. Your health is the most important thing." Tian Man patted Shen Zhiqiu's hand.
Shen Zhiqiu nodded: “That’s what my sister-in-law said.”
"By the way, I wanted to tell you that our editor-in-chief has approved the report and it can be published again."
"That's great." Shen Zhiqiu excitedly grabbed Tian Man's hand.
