Chapter 100 Lu Xiao takes action and divorces completely (two in one)
After hearing what Su Tang said, Lu Xiao's eyes turned cold.
He doesn't care about Su Yufen, but he cares about Su Tang.
Su Tang would naturally protect those whom he wanted to help.
Moreover, he also disliked scum like Zhao Youcai and his son.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Xiao squeezed Su Tang's hand and said, "Leave it to me. It just so happens that I went out to make some connections and met some people. Divorce is troublesome these days, but it's not impossible, especially with legitimate reasons."
"What's the reason?"
Su Tang's eyes lit up, and he seemed very surprised. If it really worked, it would be a great joy.
Lu Xiao's lips curled up in a cold arc. "Didn't you say it all? It's domestic violence. The injuries on your aunt's body are irrefutable evidence. And his long-term mental abuse and humiliation are all worthy of prosecution."
"The bruises on Auntie's body haven't faded yet. And there are neighbors too. Someone must have heard Zhao Youcai beating and scolding her, and they can testify."
After saying this, Su Tang already had a plan in mind.
She had only thought about making her aunt tougher, but had not considered the legal aspects so deeply.
"Just having witnesses and injuries isn't enough."
Lu Xiao's mind was working quickly and he had already come up with a comprehensive plan.
"Didn't Zhao Youcai ask his son to come back? Perfect! Once his son comes back, with his bastard temper, knowing that your aunt wants a divorce and wants a share of the Zhao family's property, he will definitely make a scene, the bigger the better."
"Huh?" Su Tang was a little confused. "Wouldn't it be bad for Aunt if the incident got out of hand?"
"Silly wife."
Lu Xiao tapped her nose, his eyes as shrewd as a fox's: "They make trouble, so we can catch them. This is called luring the snake out of its hole and luring the enemy into a trap."
Thinking of this, Su Tang smiled.
She took the initiative to ask Su Yufen about her son.
Su Tang had never seen this nephew, and he didn't seem to be mentioned much in the original book.
I only know that he is a scoundrel.
"Are you talking about Baozhu or..."
Su Yufen hesitated to speak, and Su Tang frowned slightly.
"Is there any difference between the two of them?"
Not all of them are Zhao Youcai’s sons.
Su Yufen sighed and then said, "Baozhu is the son of Zhao Youcai and me, and Su Ruiang is my adopted son."
Because of Su Ruiang, Zhao Youcai had a quarrel with her for a long time.
Later, Su Yufen said that Su Ruiang didn't need him to support her, so he stopped.
"Ryan's mother helped me, but she later fell ill and passed away, so I adopted him."
Su Yufen was like a child when facing Su Tang. Hearing this, Su Tang took a deep breath.
"Zhao Baozhu, I just need to know him."
After all, this is Zhao Youcai's biological son.
Su Yufen nodded and briefly talked about Zhao Baozhu. She said that except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, Su Yufen took care of this son, and everything else was raised by Zhao Youcai.
Then he was trained to be just like Zhao Youcai, very selfish.
The next day, Lu Xiao didn't rest and went out early in the morning.
He first went to the local Women's Federation.
The director of the Women's Federation is a female cadre in her forties with a righteous look on her face.
Lu Xiao went in and without any nonsense, he directly told her about Su Yufen's situation.
The focus is on emphasizing that Zhao Youcai has been committing long-term domestic violence and abusing his wife, causing Su Yufen physical and mental trauma, and now she is firmly demanding a divorce.
However, the man not only disagreed, but also threatened and intimidated her, and even called his son who was away from home back. His intentions were unclear.
"Director, please take a look."
Lu Xiao took out a set of materials that he had prepared long ago.
In fact, it was a petition written by Su Tang, simple and clear.
However, there were no cameras on the island, so they couldn't get direct evidence. They could only show it to them when they went to investigate.
"My aunt is a weak woman who has been bullied like this. Now she has finally mustered up the courage to resist. If she is suppressed by that father and son again, the consequences will be disastrous."
"The Women's Federation is the mother family of us female comrades. You must uphold justice."
When the director saw this and listened to Lu Xiao's clear and organized narration, he became furious.
Nowadays, it still makes her angry that someone like Zhao Youcai beats his wife so brazenly.
"This is outrageous! Zhao Youcai is completely lawless. Comrade, don't worry, we will take care of this matter. We support Comrade Su Yufen on the divorce. We will send someone to investigate the situation. If necessary, we can intervene directly."
With the director's support, Lu Xiao went to find a friend, Lao Li, who worked at the Public Security Bureau and whom he met on the island, to help him make the connection.
Old Li served in the army in the northwest back then, and was considered a comrade-in-arms with Lu Xiao.
After Lu Xiao explained the situation, Old Li nodded.
"Old Li, I'm worried that the father and son will become desperate and do something bad to my aunt, or even my parents-in-law. After all, we're leaving next week, and we can't let anything go wrong at this critical moment."
Old Li was a man of integrity, and he patted his chest and said, "Brother Lu, your business is my business. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on that guy surnamed Zhao and his bastard son!
As long as they dare to cause trouble or take action, I will immediately bring people over and deal with them as disrupting public order and threatening the personal safety of others!
It just so happens that I've also heard about his son Zhao Baozhu's troubles in the next county. He's not a good guy! If he dares to do anything wrong on the island, I'll just settle all the old and new scores together."
With the imperial sword on both sides, Lu Xiao felt much more at ease.
This is called a two-pronged approach. On the surface, there is an organization backing them up, and secretly there are people watching to see how the father and son behave.
Sure enough, within two days, Zhao Baozhu came back in a hurry.
The boy was a big, strong man with a face full of flesh and a scoundrel-like demeanor. When he came back and heard his father's exaggerated complaints, he immediately became furious.
"She's rebelling! An old woman dares to ask for a divorce? Divide the family property? Dream on!"
Zhao Baozhu rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
"Dad, just wait! I'll drag that bitch back and break her legs! And that nosy niece and her man, too! I'll take care of them all!"
Zhao Youcai stopped him hypocritically: "Baozhu, don't be impulsive, they seem to have helpers over there..."
"Helper? Bah! In this world, who am I afraid of?"
Zhao Baozhu spat and rushed to the Su family's courtyard with two brothers who were as ruffians as him.
As soon as he reached the gate, Zhao Baozhu kicked it and yelled, "Su Yufen! You shameless bitch! Get out here! And that little bitch surnamed Su! How dare you instigate my parents to divorce? I'll tear your mouths apart!"
The door was kicked with a loud bang. Su Yufen was so scared that her face turned pale and she subconsciously wanted to shrink back.
Su Tang grabbed her and said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. Lu Xiao is here. Let's do it according to the plan."
Su's father and mother also stood up nervously.
At this moment, Lu Xiao walked calmly to the door and suddenly opened it!
Zhao Baozhu was about to kick again and almost stumbled.
Seeing that the person who opened the door was a tall, stern-looking stranger, he was stunned for a moment, and then became more arrogant: "Who the hell are you? Get out! Let Su Yufen come out!"
Lu Xiao looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage: "Are you Zhao Baozhu? Bringing people, kicking doors, insulting and threatening women, what do you want to do?"
"What am I doing? I'm here to teach my disobedient wife a lesson! It's none of your business!"
Zhao Baozhu reached out and tried to push Lu Xiao away.
Lu Xiao didn't even move, but with a backhanded snap, Zhao Baozhu felt as if his wrist was clamped by a pair of pliers, and he screamed in pain! "Ouch! How dare you do that?!"
The two thugs he brought with him wanted to come forward to help, but Lu Xiao glanced at them, and the cold aura in his eyes frightened them, so they didn't dare to move.
"Do it?"
Lu Xiao sneered: "I was acting in self-defense. You broke into a private house with the intention of hurting people, and everyone saw it."
As soon as he finished speaking, several startled neighbors leaned out and pointed.
"You guys! You're all in the same group!"
Zhao Youcai also rushed over and pointed at Lu Xiao and Su Tang: "It's you who are trying to sow discord!"
"Sowing discord?"
Encouraged by Su Tang, Su Yufen bravely stood up. She lifted her sleeves to reveal the bruises that had not yet healed, and cried to the onlookers and several street officials who rushed over after hearing the news.
"Everyone, look! Look at what Zhao Youcai did to me! And his son, he beat me up as soon as he got home! The comrades from the Women's Federation said that domestic violence is illegal! I want to divorce him! They're trying to kill me!"
At this moment, a resounding female voice rang out: "Comrade Su Yufen, don't be afraid! We will take care of this for you!"
The director of the Women's Federation, accompanied by two staff members, pushed through the crowd and walked in, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
Immediately afterwards, a series of rapid whistles blew, and Lao Li, accompanied by two comrades, arrived at the scene. His face sullen, he asked, "What's going on? Who's causing trouble here? Threatening the safety of women?"
When Zhao Baozhu saw that even the police had arrived, he was a little dumbfounded.
No matter how ruthless he is, he wouldn't dare to take action in front of the police!
Zhao Youcai was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He didn't expect things to get so serious!
The director of the Women's Federation pointed at Zhao Youcai and his son and said righteously, "Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, it's them! Zhao Youcai has been domestically abusing his wife, Comrade Su Yufen, for a long time. The evidence is irrefutable!
Now his son Zhao Baozhu has returned, not only has he refused to mediate, but he has brought people to threaten and intimidate the couple, intending to commit violence! This is extremely despicable! We, the Women's Federation, strongly demand that this be handled in accordance with the law, and we support Comrade Su Yufen's legitimate request for an immediate divorce!
Old Li nodded seriously and walked up to Zhao Baozhu: "Zhao Baozhu, come with us! Someone reported that you have a history of provoking disturbances in the neighboring county, and now you are causing trouble on the island, threatening the safety of others! And you two,
He looked at the thugs Zhao Baozhu had brought with him and said, "Let's go back and help with the investigation!"
Zhao Baozhu and his two "brothers" were so angry that their faces turned green. They wanted to run away but it was too late and they were taken away by the police.
When Zhao Youcai saw his son being arrested, he was shocked and scared. He was completely panicked and collapsed on the ground.
Lu Xiao walked up to Zhao Youcai, whose face was ashen, and looked down at him. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable power: "Zhao Youcai, now, are you still going to divorce?"
Zhao Youcai looked at the angry neighbors, the serious Women's Federation cadres and the police around him, and then at Lu Xiao's cold eyes. He knew that he was completely finished.
If my son is arrested, I will definitely lose my job and my reputation will be ruined... If I insist on not getting a divorce, it will only get worse!
He was completely broken, as if all his bones had been pulled out. He had a mournful look on his face and nodded weakly, "Divorce... Divorce... I want a divorce! I'll sign! I don't want anything! Please let my son go..."
The director of the Women's Federation immediately took out the divorce application documents she had prepared long ago: "Comrade Su Yufen, come and sign! We from the Women's Federation will be your witnesses! The public security comrades are also here to ensure fairness!"
Su Yufen looked at the divorce application form, her hands trembling with excitement and tears streaming down her face.
She picked up the pen and, under Su Tang's encouraging gaze, signed her name with great determination!
The dust has settled! The scumbag father and son, one was caught, the other admitted to being a coward!
Su Yufen finally got rid of this nightmare marriage!
Su Tang looked at her aunt's face, which was relieved and full of hope after she signed, and then looked at Lu Xiao who was strategizing and solving all her problems. Her heart felt warm and full of security.
It’s great to have him around!
Lu Xiao felt her gaze and looked down at her. His eyes softened instantly. There was no trace of the coldness he had just shown when he was facing the Zhao father and son.
He quietly squeezed Su Tang's palm: "I've done what my wife asked me to do! Next, I'll take my father-in-law and mother-in-law and head towards a new life!"
The divorce procedures went exceptionally smoothly.
With the dual witnesses of the Women's Federation and the police, Zhao Youcai no longer dared to play any tricks. His hands were shaking when he signed, as if he was afraid that a second late would bring him a heavier punishment.
The moment Su Yufen walked out of the Civil Affairs Office with the divorce certificate, the sunlight fell on her face.
She raised her hand to cover her eyes, but tears flowed down through her fingers. This time, it was not grievance, but relief.
"Aunt, let's live a good life from now on."
Su Tang handed over a clean handkerchief with a light tone in his voice.
Lu Xiao stood aside, carrying Su Yufen's simple luggage in his hand.
Su Yufen took the handkerchief, nodded vigorously, and finally a real smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Well, live well."
The Zhao family became the laughing stock of the neighbors.
Zhao Baozhu was imprisoned for half a month because of old and new accounts. After he was released, he returned to another place in disgrace and never dared to set foot on the island again.
Zhao Youcai became a lonely man, sitting at the door sighing every day, lowering his head to everyone he met, and his former arrogance was gone.
Some people felt sorry for him and wanted to persuade Su Yufen to go back and be his companion, but Su Yufen refused outright: "I will never serve that kind of person again in my life."
She does what she says.
First, with the help of Su Tang, he cleaned up his small side room, and then asked Lu Xiao to find him a job mending fishing nets in the dock warehouse.
Although it was hard work, I could earn work points every day, and with money in my hands, I could stand up straighter.
In her spare time, she would go to Su Tang's house to help with cooking or give Su's mother a back massage. She smiled more and more, and the light in her eyes brightened little by little.
When Lu Xiao and Su Tang were about to leave the island with Su's father and mother, they also asked Su Yufen if she wanted to go.
But Su Yufen felt that she was a burden and was afraid that she would get in the way.
Plus, she didn't have the necessary paperwork, so it was difficult for her to leave.
Dad Su was a little worried, but Su Yufen said that she would definitely go to see them when she had time.
The Su family boarded the boat and left. Su Yufen looked at her brother who was traveling far away and shed tears.
If she had listened to her brother, would everything have been different?
