The police officer and the man, Liu Tianbao, explained the seriousness of the incident. "This is a crime! Whether it's your child or not, it's a life. If you're sentenced, you'll lose your job, and you're treating it like a small matter!"
"How can it be so serious!" Liu Tianbao fidgeted. "In the past, people in the village would drown baby girls."
"You said it was in the past. In this new society, this is illegal!" The police officer glared at me. "If we report it to your factory, you'll lose your job, and you still don't repent."
"Repent, repent, I promise I will sincerely repent. Can you please let my mother go and not implicate my work?"
Zhou Yian watched the show while cracking his wedding melon seeds. "So it's all about getting your mother out. You're not going to let her out and then abandon the child, are you?"
Liu Tianbao glared at her, and Zhou Yian rolled her eyes at him again. What the hell, who’s afraid of him?
Song Songbai stood behind her and also stared at him.
Liu Tianbao shuddered when he was looked at. He really didn't dare to look anymore and just kept saying nice things to the police.
Just then, his daughter-in-law Wu Mei came out with the child in her arms. Liu Tianbao grabbed her and said, "Come and speak well of the police. My mother treats you and Yingzi and the others well."
"She's not mean at all. She eats fine noodles herself and gives Yingzi and me vegetable porridge every day. In the freezing weather, she insists that Yingzi wash clothes with cold water. If she doesn't agree, she'll beat her." Wu Mei said quietly.
"After they pissed me off and made me lose my pregnancy, they thought I was going to have a son and had to hospitalize me. But when it turned out to be a daughter, they wanted to throw her away, which is why they ended up in the police station."
"You just called me a bitch and asked you to deal with me."
Liu Tianbao was stunned. "I asked you to beg for mercy. Why are you saying all this? Although mother is usually a little stingy, she is very kind to you."
"If I don't plead for mercy and ask for her to be released, Yingzi and I will suffer again!"
"Mom is in jail, and I can't keep my job. My family is starving."
"I'm not afraid. I didn't rely on your salary at all. I gave it all to your uncle's family in the countryside. If it's gone, it's gone. If she goes to jail, Yingzi and I will have a better life."
"Isn't that because you haven't given birth to a boy? If you had given birth to a boy, my mother wouldn't treat you like this."
Wu Mei started crying again, "Anyway, if I don't beg for mercy, I won't have a good life even if I do."
The man raised his hand as if to hit her, but then he put it down awkwardly, remembering he was in the police station. "What do you want in exchange for mercy?"
"First, send your mother back to her hometown. Second, let me manage the family's money." Wu Mei thought for a long time in the house before she came up with these two points.
He threatened her in a low voice, "Don't go too far, she's my mother."
"Then let her go to jail." Wu Mei thought about what the policewoman and Zhou Yian had just taught her. "I'm not afraid to go back to my hometown with you to farm."
"You must be tough. Your husband is definitely more afraid of you than you are now. Only if you are tough can you protect yourself and your children better." Wu Mei, the daughter-in-law, thought, they are right.
She had been as soft as she could be in recent years, but was it any use? They still bullied her and her daughter, and even went so far as to threaten to harm a newborn baby.
So cruel!
After Wu Mei finished speaking, she stopped talking to show her determination.
The entire police station was silent, with only the man's heavy breathing and the sound of Zhou Yian eating melon seeds.
"Okay, I promise."
"Don't even think about taking it back. If you do, I'll ask the police to make the decision."
"You've thought about it a long time ago. I didn't expect you to be so vicious."
"No matter how vicious she is, she's not as vicious as your mother. She threw her own granddaughter away just like that."
"Okay, okay, you can talk. I can't argue with you, so I'll do as you say." Liu Tianbao glared at her. "Now you can always go and beg for mercy."
"Words are not enough," Zhou Yian said, cracking melon seeds. "Let's get a written agreement."
"Yes, let's make a written agreement." Wu Mei replied.
"You also want me to sign a document?" Liu Tianbao looked at Wu Mei, "We've been married for so many years, and you still don't trust me."
"Why would I believe you? I'd believe you so much that even my child would be thrown away." Zhou Yian added coldly, "Who would dare to believe you?"
Liu Tianbao took a breath and said, "Just write it."
"Make two copies, and take one to file at the police station."
"What's the matter with you? You always interrupt." Liu Tianbao was almost driven crazy.
"You righteous people. I can't bear to watch this anymore. What do you think? No, look at how thin your wife is. She just gave birth to a child, and you don't feel sorry for her at all."
If her husband did this, she would beat him to death. If she couldn't beat him face to face, she would do something sneaky in the middle of the night.
Bah, bah, bah, Song Songbai would never do that.
She couldn't curse herself like this.
In the end, things developed as they expected. Liu Tianbao gave in and agreed to what Wu Mei said.
Wu Mei did not pursue the matter of her mother-in-law abandoning the child.
Of course, the old woman was determined not to go back to the countryside, but Liu Tianbao was determined. If she didn't go back to the countryside, she would lose her job. Even a fool would know what to choose.
No matter how much the old woman cried and screamed in the police station, it couldn't change the situation.
It can be seen that the reason why the old woman bullied Wu Mei in the past was not only Wu Mei's own cowardice, but also Liu Tianbao's indifference.
The matter was resolved, and Wu Mei warmly invited Zhou Yian to visit her at the steel plant when he was free.
Zhou Yian responded with a smile.
Song Songbai pulled her out of the police station and squinted his eyes at Zhou Yian, who was very happy for her brave act.
"Let's go to the tailor shop first." Song Songbai said, let her be happy first, and then take care of her in the bridal chamber.
