Chapter 147
"I won't leave! How do I know if you are lying to me? You two don't look like good people to me! You tried to stop me last time and today too! What do you mean? Are you teaming up with that bitch Shen Wen to lie to me?" Wu Dayou stood up suddenly, his cloudy eyes wide open, his nostrils breathing heavily like an old cow, looking very irritable.
The child suddenly burst into tears: "I want my mother! I want my mother! I want my mother!"
Wu Dayou yelled, "You scared my child and made him cry! Such a young child! He was only eight years old and his mother ran away. You city people, how can you not have any sympathy? You are all women, don't you have to be mothers? Seeing a child crying like this? How dare you lie to me? I tell you, if you don't hand over Shen Wen today, I will never let you go!"
"What's the point? You want to beat someone up?" Chai Qiaoying said coldly, "Look at where we are. Our security guard is standing at the door. If you dare to make a move, he will beat you back immediately. If you are not afraid of losing face, you can give it a try."
Wu Dayou was a man with a bad temper. After hearing what Chai Qiaoying said, he became even more agitated. He raised his fist and rushed onto the coffee table in the reception room, then waved his fist to hit Chai Qiaoying: "Give it a try! Do you think I don't dare? I have beaten countless people since I was a child. The worst that can happen is death. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Can a factory like yours really beat someone to death? I don't believe it!"
Chai Qiaoying was sitting opposite Wu Dayou, but Xia Qingtang did not sit down. She stood beside Chai Qiaoying. When she saw Wu Dayou suddenly jump onto the coffee table, she immediately picked up a cup of tea on the table and splashed it at his face.
Wu Dayou was unexpectedly splashed with water in the face. His action of hitting was suddenly stopped and he stood there in a daze.
At the same time, the security guard at the door also rushed up. He was a tall man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy build. He stretched out his hand and pulled the short Wu Dayou down.
"You dare to hit the leader in our factory? I think you are not going to make it anymore! I have to call the brothers to teach you a lesson today!" The eldest brother was so angry that he grabbed Wu Dayou's thin body and pressed him against the wall, and asked, "Director Chai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't ask our own people to teach him a lesson. Don't do such things. It's not good for the reputation of our factory." Chai Qiaoying said.
"Then what should we do with this person?"
"Xiaocheng has asked someone to call the police. Let's wait for the police to come and take him away. We are a big factory and we must abide by the law."
"You respect your shitty ethics! You old woman, you lied to me! How dare you lie to me!" Wu Dayou was yelling crazily, and his child was also sitting there, crying uncontrollably.
Amid the noise, Chai Qiaoying said, "We really didn't lie to you. There really isn't a worker named Shen Wen in our factory."
"If there really isn't one, why don't you dare let me go to the workshop to look for someone?"
"I told you, there are many sophisticated instruments in the workshop, all of which are very expensive. Do you know the price of electrical appliances? Can anyone be allowed in there casually?"
"Then how do you prove that you didn't lie to me? You damn bitch! You damn liar!" Wu Dayou was still cursing amid the child's crying.
Xia Qingtang had seen this kind of man before, and seeing how out of control he was, she could guess how terrible Shen Wen's life had been over the years.
This man could suddenly attack and hurt someone at any time and anywhere, and Shen Wen has been married to him for more than ten years, so she might be covered in wounds.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingtang thought of Shen Wen's simple dress. She always wore a half-worn long-sleeved homespun shirt and a pair of simple trousers. Even though the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and others were wearing short sleeves, Shen Wen always buttoned the cuffs of her long sleeves tightly and never rolled them up to the elbows.
Seeing that she was sober, Shen Wen probably had some old injuries on her body, and she didn't want others to be surprised, so she buttoned her sleeves tightly.
Xia Qingtang felt a sigh in his heart and looked at Wu Dayou with even more contempt.
Chai Qiaoying said loudly: "How about this, we have already gone to find the police comrades. When the police come, we will let you see the list of all the workers. You can go through it one by one with the police. After reading it, you will know whether they are deceiving you or not."
Wu Dayou was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "How do I know if you will make a fake list to deceive me?"
"Ah? I made a fake list to trick you? Who do you think you are? Do I need to make a fake list to trick people for such a small matter?" Chai Qiaoying sneered, "This is the Future Electric Factory. We have hundreds of employees, but you are the only one. If we really solve the matter you just attacked me privately, do you think you can walk out of this place unscathed today? Think about it yourself. You are a small health worker from a county town. Can you really cause trouble in a factory like ours?"
Perhaps Chai Qiaoying's tone was too genuine and contemptuous. Wu Dayou was stunned for a while and suddenly said, "Okay, I want to see your worker roster and look for them one by one. I don't believe it. How could my wife not be on it?"
Chai Qiaoying said: "Then please let your child calm down and stop crying. This is a workplace, not a market."
Wu Dayou shouted, "Second brother, stop howling! If you keep howling, I'll break your legs!"
The child was still crying with his mouth open. Wu Dayou couldn't move his hands because his upper body was pressed against the wall. He simply stretched out his right foot and kicked hard at the wooden sofa where the child was sitting.
The sofa flew away with a hissing sound, and the child almost fell off it. The child was so scared that he didn't dare to cry anymore. He just stared at Xia Qingtang and the others with his big red and swollen eyes like a fool.
Chai Qiaoying was so angry that she almost died: "Is this how you tell your child to stop crying?"
"Yes, that's it! Damn it, why are you so talkative? Didn't you ask me to stop the child? He's not crying now, why are you nagging me? It's good enough that I didn't punch him a few times. Wait until we get back and see how I teach him a lesson!" Wu Dayou was still cursing.
Chai Qiaoying walked over, squatted in front of the dazed child, and said softly: "Child, don't be afraid, this is a safe place. Do you want to eat something? Auntie can give you some candy, okay?"
Generally speaking, no one would speak like this to an eight-year-old child, but because the child had a frightened expression, Chai Qiaoying could only communicate with him softly in this coaxing tone.
Perhaps because he saw Chai Qiaoying's amiable face, the child's dull eyes finally came back to his senses. He looked at Chai Qiaoying, pursed his lips and wanted to cry again.
"Okay, don't cry, don't be afraid. Auntie will give you some candy." Chai Qiaoying took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the child's tears.
The child is very good-looking, and looks very pitiful when he cries, which arouses sympathy from others. But when you get closer, you can see that the child's hair is gray and it has been unknown how long it has been since he last washed. He also has a strange smell on his body.
Xia Qingtang said, "Director Chai, there are candies and biscuits in my desk. Can I get some for the child?"
"Okay, go get it, and bring the roster of our factory employees as well."
"Yes, I understand." Xia Qingtang glared at Wu Dayou fiercely before walking out.
Back in the big office, Wang Qing immediately asked, "Xiao Xia, what are you guys doing out there? Don't you have to work anymore?"
"We are just working. We went out with Director Chai. If you think this is not work, then go and talk to Director Chai." Xia Qingtang said as he walked to a row of cabinets against the wall at the back, opened one of them, and looked through the employee roster.
Their employee registration is very clear, with each employee registered according to department. The first few pages are for people who work in the office. You just need to remove the first few pages and take only the workers' part.
She moved the volume to her desk and began to unravel the binding.
"Xiao Xia, what are you doing?" Shi Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"Director Chai asked me to take the workers' registration part over. It's useful." Xia Qingtang said, "So I have to take down the other parts."
"Then let me help you. Let's do it quickly, two of us." Shi Xiaoyu said, and came over to help.
Wang Qing looked at their actions with a squint and muttered something in a low voice, but Xia Qingtang didn't hear it clearly at all. Fortunately, she didn't care.
Shen Wen looked back repeatedly from the first row, wanting to ask something but not daring to.
Xia Qingtang and the other two quickly removed the first few pages, then used a large needle to rebind the rest.
Because I did a good job before, it was very easy to do now and I finished it in a short time.
Xia Qingtang looked at the employee list starting from the first workshop and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master. I'll go over first. Please put the rest of them in the cabinet for me. I'll put them back in when I come back."
"Okay, you go first, I'll take care of this." Shi Xiaoyu said, "I don't know what you guys are busy with, running around."
"That's right. Not only does he run around, he's also very mysterious and won't answer anything you ask him." Wang Qing said sarcastically.
Xia Qingtang opened the drawer, took out a few candies and a small piece of chocolate and put them in his pocket, then said: "The leader doesn't let me tell you, so I can't do anything about it. If you are curious, you can ask the leader."
"You always use the leadership to pressure me. What? Are you so afraid of the leadership?"
"Yes, I am indeed a little afraid of the leader. I am timid, there is nothing I can do about it." Xia Qingtang had already walked to the door of the office while speaking. She paused for a moment and said softly, "We just need to listen to the leader and work hard. Director Chai is a very good leader. I believe in her, and you should believe in her too. Follow her, and you will definitely be right."
She seemed to be talking to Wang Qing, but actually she was talking to Shen Wen. She wanted to tell Shen Wen to just focus on his work and wait for Chai Qiaoying to handle it.
Sure enough, after saying this, Shen Wen's originally worried expression became a little more relaxed.
Xia Qingtang smiled and walked out holding the booklet.
When I returned to the reception room, I found out that the policeman had already come. After asking, I found out that Cheng Shuangmin went to the motorcade and asked the driver Xiao Huang to drive over, so the speed was so fast.
Wu Dayou became much more obedient when he saw the police. He squatted in the corner, holding his head with his hands, and dared not curse at anyone.
Chai Qiaoying was talking to the child in a low voice. I don't know what she said, but the child looked much more relaxed and even smiled.
Seeing Xia Qingtang coming in, Wu Dayou immediately raised his head and asked, "Did you bring the roster?"
"Behave yourself! Stay still!" the police shouted.
Wu Dayou lowered his head again, still whispering, "The leader just told me to look at it."
Chai Qiaoying then turned around and said, "Yes, police comrade, I told him that you can accompany him to confirm. I can guarantee that this is the most authentic list of workers in our factory. You can work with him to find out if there is a female worker named Shen Wen on it."
"Okay, let's take a look together." The police pointed at Wu Dayou, "Come here!"
Xia Qingtang opened the booklet and placed it on the coffee table, then stood aside.
Wu Dayou confirmed with one of the younger policemen. He was as anxious as an ant on hot pan. He flipped the list over and over again and read it front to back countless times. Even when he saw that the policeman was getting annoyed, he was unwilling to stop.
"Is that enough? I have confirmed with you that there is no female worker named Shen Wen in any department. There are a few with the surname Shen, but none of them has this name, and they are all men." The young policeman said, "There is no lover of yours here, you can leave now."
Wu Dayou's face suddenly darkened, as if he had lost his soul. He sat there woodenly, and it seemed that even his breathing was not obvious.
It seems that the fact that he couldn't find his wife was a great blow to him.
Come to think of it, he is so blessed to have a wife at home. There is someone to cook for him and do housework, someone to give birth to and take care of his children, and someone who can always be his punching bag.
What would he be without his wife? There would be no one to cook or wash clothes at home, and the garbage would pile up to the sky.
Not to mention that he has two sons who are still in school, and it will take many years for the children to grow up. How is he going to survive without his wife during these long years?
Marry another one? With his looks, age and conditions, I'm afraid he won't be able to marry a woman who is willing to work like a slave for him.
That's why he looks lost, because he has truly lost the soul of his home.
Another older policeman saw that he looked uneasy and said, "Your wife is not here. You can go to other factories to look for her. This year, many workers have come to this new factory, so other old factories have also hired new workers. If you really want to find her, go ask one by one. As long as she is in our city, you will always find her."
"I can't find it. I'm not from the city. I still have to go to work, and I have children at home. I don't even have that much money for transportation..." Wu Dayou's voice seemed to have lost its strength when he spoke, which made people feel relieved.
The police said, "That's nothing we can do. Who told you to beat your wife every day? You beat her away, and then you came out to look for her?"
"That's right. This kind of thing is very common. Who wouldn't run away if a female comrade got beaten and was scared? If you were beaten every day, wouldn't you run away?" Another policeman said, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself."
Wu Dayou burst into tears, shocking everyone.
Everyone frowned in disgust, but it was not a good idea for someone to cry like this, so the two policemen still persuaded him for a while, and when he calmed down and stopped crying, they took him out.
Xia Qingtang and Chai Qiaoying had been accompanying the child all the time. With candy and chocolate, the child became happy, his eyes brightened, and he even tried to be polite and let Chai Qiaoying eat the candy first.
Chai Qiaoying's eyes were red. She touched the child's head and whispered, "Just eat it. Auntie doesn't like this."
The child then peeled off the candy wrapper and started eating it.
Later, when he saw his father suddenly burst into tears, the child was also frightened. He hid behind Chai Qiaoying and didn't dare to look over there.
"Let's go, let's go out." The police pulled Wu Dayou out.
Wu Dayou said, "Second brother, go home."
The child shrank back and didn't want to leave.
Wu Dayou no longer had the energy to curse. He just stared at the child and repeated, "Are you going home or not? If not, you can starve to death here. I will never come back to find you again."
The child could only run to his side with red eyes. Chai Qiaoying sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
This is someone else's family affair and she really has no control over it.
The young policeman took the child's hand and they walked out together.
Xia Qingtang and Chai Qiaoying also walked out. Chai Qiaoying said, "This child is so pitiful."
"Yeah, but there's nothing we can do." Xia Qingtang also sighed.
As he was talking, he saw Wang Qing running over there, holding two pieces of paper in his hands. He said in a panic: "Director Chai, I want to ask, what should we do with this thing? Just now Shen Wen sorted it out and showed it to me, and I saw that she made all the mistakes, so I can only come to ask you..."
"What did you say? Are you talking about Shen Wen?" Wu Dayou suddenly jumped up as if waking from a dream.
Xia Qingtang noticed a sly flash in Wang Qing's eyes, and then he said calmly, "Yes, Secretary Shen Wen, he is my colleague. Who are you? Do you know Secretary Shen Wen, too?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Dayou ran towards Wang Qing frantically. He grabbed Wang Qing's collar tightly and said, "Take me there! I am Shen Wen's man! She is my wife! She ran away from my house! Take me there quickly!"
The two policemen were also very surprised. Chai Qiaoying's face was as gloomy as water. She stared at Wang Qing's face without saying a word.
Normally when they talked about their colleagues, everyone would only call them by their last names, and no one would call them by their full names. However, Wang Qing deliberately rushed to this place and suddenly called out Shen Wen's full name. It was obvious at a glance that he did it on purpose.
Although it is unclear what this person's purpose is, for some people, doing evil is an instinct, and he himself may not even be able to figure out what his purpose is.
"Director Chai, what is going on? Didn't you say that there was no worker named Shen Wen in the factory? But now this young man says that his colleague is called Shen Wen. Why are you lying?" said the older policeman with a frown.
Xia Qingtang said loudly: "We are not lying. This person came here to look for a worker named Shen Wen. You have also seen the roster of our factory. There is no worker named Shen Wen in it. This is true!"
Wang Qing shook off Wu Dayou's hand, dodged to the side, and began to pretend that he didn't exist.
The police said, "No, you are playing tricks on me, aren't you? You say you didn't lie, but how is that different from lying?"
Chai Qiaoying said in a deep voice: "We didn't lie, but this is what happened. Police comrade, you have seen this man beat people for more than ten years. Now he works in our factory. As a leader, I naturally have to protect my employees. Besides, how can you prove that the Shen Wen in our office is the same person as the Shen Wen he said he was talking about?"
"Then call Shen Wen out! Call him out and let's ask him face to face!" Wu Dayou shouted frantically.
Chai Qiaoying said sternly: "Who do you think you are? You are here to cause trouble. You can shout whoever you want? We don't have such rules here!"
"Police! Police, don't you want to do anything? They kidnapped my wife! Police!" Wu Dayou rushed to the police again, grabbed his sleeve and asked them to solve the problem.
The policeman sighed and said to Chai Qiaoying, "Comrade Director, I know the situation now. Look, the child has been brought here, and the person is indeed with you. I'm afraid this matter is difficult to resolve. Otherwise, you should call the person out. If there is any problem, it must be resolved face to face."
Chai Qiaoying's expression was very ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "I told you, this person is here to cause trouble. As a leader, I will only protect my employees."
Xia Qingtang whispered, "Police comrade, this matter is very easy to solve. As far as I know, the two of them are not registered, and they don't have a household registration book. How can they prove that Shen Wen is his wife? Rely on this child? Then I can say that Shen Wen was kidnapped by her family. They are kidnappers. They forced an innocent female comrade to give birth to a child for their family. Now that the female comrade has escaped, she should be protected by you police officers! If you don't protect the victim, but speak for a murderer, what will happen? However, I believe that you police comrades are serving the people wholeheartedly. You must protect the weak masses, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the compliment was already placed on his head. Even if he had wanted to smooth things over just now, he couldn't do so now.
Moreover, the older policeman heard a very crucial point from Xia Qingtang's words, and he said, "Wu Dayou, you said you came to find your lover, but you don't have a marriage certificate, which doesn't mean you have a lover."
"Without a lover, how could my child fall from the sky? Without a wife, how could I have a child? Call Shen Wen out! As soon as Shen Wen comes out, look at Shen Wen's face, then look at my second son's face, and you will know that Shen Wen is my wife!" Wu Dayou shouted hysterically: "Shen Wen! Call Shen Wen out!"
After shouting, he rushed to Wang Qing again, and this time he grabbed his neck directly: "You know where Shen Wen is, take me to find Shen Wen! Take me there!"
Wu Dayou was in a very crazy state and seemed quite out of control. He was used to beating people and had great strength. He pinched Wang Qing so hard that he couldn't breathe and his eyes rolled back.
But Xia Qingtang and Chai Qiaoying didn't react. Only the younger policeman saw that he had rolled his eyes and walked over to stop him: "Wu Dayou, let go first! Let go!"
Wang Qing was able to escape only after the police had forcibly pried Wu Dayou's hands apart. He rolled his eyes and slid down like a puddle of mud, sitting on the ground, almost dying.
The police pulled Wu Dayou away and had no time to care about Wang Qing. Chai Qiaoying and the others would not check on his condition, so he just huddled on the ground to rest.
Wu Dayou was dragged by the police, but he refused to give up and kept shouting, "Take me to see Shen Wen! Take me to see Shen Wen!"
There were a few porters passing by not far away, and when they heard the noise here, they looked curious.
Cheng Shuangmin quickly ran over and told them to go to work and not just stand there and watch.
The old policeman said, "Director Chai, I understand your thoughts, but since this person knows that Shen Wen is in your factory, I'm afraid he will come here every day. We police officers can't run here every day for this matter. We are also very busy. You have to understand us."
"Comrade police, what do you mean?" Chai Qiaoying asked in a low voice.
"Go ask Comrade Shen Wen what she thinks. Can you let me meet her and talk to her? Then we can discuss it together. We have to solve this matter thoroughly. I also know that your factory's security is very good, but Comrade Shen Wen can't hide in the factory forever, right? Wu Dayou has some relatives and friends. What if they all come to ask for the person together? Or what if he abandons the child here?"
Chai Qiaoying said, "Okay, I'll go over and ask. You guys go wait inside first, so that no one else can see the fun."
"Okay." The old policeman and his colleagues dragged Wu Dayou into the house. The child seemed to be scared silly and didn't dare to move. Xia Qingtang could only peel another candy and then talk to him slowly.
Chai Qiaoying had just walked a little way out when she stopped and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Qingtang leaned over and saw Shen Wen and Shi Xiaoyu walking towards them. She looked at them and her eyes slowly began to turn red.
The child had already seen her and immediately ran over: "Mom!"
Shen Wen squatted down, hugged the child who ran over, and tears flowed down his face.
Inside the house, Wu Dayou became even crazier after hearing the noise. He shouted desperately, "Shen Wen! You bitch, you dare to run! I'll break your legs, you stinky bitch!"
"Shut up! Be quiet!" The young policeman was a little angry. He took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and handcuffed Wu Dayou directly.
The old policeman said, "You stay in the room and keep an eye on him. Put something in his mouth to stop him from shouting. I'll go out and talk."
"yes."
The old policeman came out and closed the door of the reception room.
Outside, Shen Wen and the child were both crying. Shi Xiaoyu looked at everything here in surprise, her eyes full of questions.
Chai Qiaoying whispered, "Why did you come out? Did something happen in the office?"
Shi Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Director, it's like this. Secretary Wang asked Secretary Shen to help him compile a list. After it was done, Secretary Wang said that Secretary Shen did it wrong, and then said he would come to ask the director, and he ran out with the documents. I don't know what happened, I just know that Secretary Shen became panicked. She couldn't sit still in the office and said she wanted to come out and take a look. I was a little worried about her, so I came with her."
"I understand." Chai Qiaoying turned her head to look at Wang Qing who was still lying on the ground, a hint of contempt and anger flashed in her eyes.
Shen Wen and Wang Qing had no grudges against each other. They were colleagues in the same office. Instead of helping each other, this person was thinking about how to cause trouble.
Would it be any good for Wang Qing to sell out Shen Wen? They were two people who had nothing in common.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Chai Qiaoying rarely sees such people who harm others without benefiting themselves.
The old policeman walked over. He looked at Shen Wen's face, then at the child's face, and knew that this must be her biological child.
When Shen Wen saw the police coming, she stopped crying and stood up with her child: "Police comrade, is there someone looking for me..."
"Yes, his name is Wu Dayou. He said he came to see a female comrade named Shen Wen, and said Shen Wen was his wife."
"I'm Shen Wen, but I'm not his wife. He and I don't have a marriage registration, and my name is not on his household registration book. I asked someone about it, and someone like me, if I'm gone, will have nothing to do with his family." Although Shen Wen's face was full of tears and her eyes were red, her look suddenly became strong, and it was obvious that she was going to face this matter on her own.
The old policeman said, "According to the law, it is true. You did not register your marriage, so you and he are not considered husband and wife. But you have been together for a long time and have two children. This child... is obviously yours."
"Then I will raise the children. I can do that. As long as he is willing to give the children to me, I am willing to raise them alone. Our factory will be able to allocate houses next year. Even if it is a little hard, I can afford to raise two children by myself." Shen Wen said firmly.
The old policeman said: "So, you just don't want to go back with him."
"Go back? Where to go? I'm originally from this city, and this is where I should go back." Shen Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Back then, the university was closed, and I was sent to the village below to work with a few classmates. Everything was fine at first, but one day I got acute appendicitis and was sent to the county town for treatment. I've been educated and know that acute appendicitis is not a serious disease. Coincidentally, the director of the county health center could perform this operation. The villagers in the commune helped me raise the surgery fee, and I was waiting there for the operation. But..." When Shen Wen said this, tears suddenly fell.
She didn't bring a handkerchief, so she could only wipe it with the back of her hand, but the more she wiped, the more there was. Xia Qingtang quickly felt her pocket and saw that there was only toilet paper in it, so she handed it to her.
The old policeman asked, "What happened back there? Did something happen?"
Shen Wen wiped away her tears and said, "Take my child over there first. I don't want the child to hear it."
Shi Xiaoyu quickly said, "Let me take the child over there to play. There is a big flower bed over there. Auntie will take you over there to play."
As she said that, she pulled the child over there, but the child refused to go and grabbed Shen Wen's pants and refused to let go: "Mom, I won't go."
"Mom won't leave either. I'm here to talk to someone. You go over and play first. I'll come find you later." Shen Wen touched the child's head.
Only then did the child listen and left with Shi Xiaoyu.
After the child was out of earshot, Shen Wencai said, "But the director suddenly told me that unless I agreed to marry his son, he would not perform the surgery on me. If I didn't have the surgery, I might die. I don't know why they suddenly fell in love with me, and I don't know why it had to be me, but I was in so much pain at the time, and I didn't want to die. I still have parents and relatives, and I want to live. So I had no choice but to agree. He was still worried, so he...he asked his son to come in and take off all my clothes first...and said...I said that his son had touched and seen me, and no one would want me anymore, and I had to marry his son, so they performed the surgery on me. After the surgery, I was confused for several days, and by the time I could think again, they had already notified the commune about my marriage. The whole world knew that I was getting married, and I was the only one who was still confused."
When the old policeman heard this, he also showed a look of pity. He said softly: "Why didn't you ask the people in the commune for help?"
"Who can I ask for help? They gave money to the secretary of the commune, and everything was settled. Before I was discharged from the hospital, my relationship had already been transferred from the commune to the supply and marketing cooperative in their county. Tell me, who can I ask for help? I went to the police station in the county, and they said I was fooling around. I was engaged and still had conflicts. I had no choice but to go back. In the end, I got married and stayed in the county until this year." Shen Wen whispered, "I thought that might be my fate, but over the years, I have been beaten to the point of having no strength. I don't know what crime I committed to endure all this, but I only know one thing, his mother despised me at the beginning, so she didn't let him register with me, nor did she let me register with their family. She said that their family is very precious, and a woman like me is not worthy. Since I am not worthy, then I am leaving now, isn't it right? I can't sue for the past, and there is no place to sue, but if I leave, what can he do to me? I am not married. I am an independent person. I am a clerk at the future electrical appliance factory."
When Shen Wen said this, her back straightened up suddenly. She looked at the closed wooden door over there, and a flash of anger appeared in her eyes.
Xia Qingtang knew from the look on her face that this person had completely stood up. That was good. There was no need to worry about other things. No matter what happened in the future, she would not back down.
Chai Qiaoying said, "Police comrade, the matter has been made clear. What do you want to do? As Shen Wen's leader, I can only say one thing. Even if there is a marriage certificate, they can still get divorced. Moreover, they don't have a marriage certificate at all, and their marriage relationship cannot be proved. That person wants to take away our factory employees? This is impossible."
The old policeman nodded and said, "I agree with what you said. There is no marriage relationship between them. But what about the child? What if Wu Dayou comes here every week?"
Shen Wen said, "Police comrade, just tell him that he and I are not married, I belong here, and I will not go anywhere. He can come as many times as he wants, as long as he doesn't feel tired. If he wants to raise the child, then he can raise it. If he doesn't want to raise it, he can send it to me and I will raise it alone. These are all I have to say. No matter what happens, I will only stay here."
"Okay, I'll go in and talk to him." The old policeman sighed and said, "It's not easy for you either. I personally support you. But you have to think about the child. It would be better if you can bring the child to your side. If the child stays with him, I'm afraid none of the children will survive. You have to think about all these."
"I know, I've thought about it, but I have to survive before I can think about them." Shen Wen whispered, "I'm not afraid of you scolding me. I love children very much, but I also hate them. Their appearance proves all the humiliation and pain I suffered over there..."
"Well, I understand. It must have been difficult for you after what you went through. I can't advise you, but you should think it over carefully."
After he said that, he walked into the house.
Xia Qingtang said: "Secretary Shen, don't listen to the opinions of male comrades, just listen to what you think in your heart. If you can only save yourself, save yourself first. Their family forced you to get married in that way, so they must not harm the child's life."
Shen Wen turned his head and looked at Xia Qingtang, with a flash of surprise and gratitude in his eyes: "Secretary Xia, thank you, I...if possible, I am willing to raise the child."
She waved over there again and shouted, "Xiaobao, come here."
"Mom!" The child ran over like a little cannonball.
Next to his mother, the child shines.
Shi Xiaoyu came over and whispered, "Is the matter resolved?"
Xia Qingtang said: "Not yet, but don't worry, everything can be solved."
"That's good." Shi Xiaoyu said, "Although I don't know what happened, Secretary Shen, I support you."
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Thank you, I am sorry for causing trouble to everyone."
"What's the problem? Who doesn't have some chores to deal with?" Chai Qiaoying said, "Little Master, why don't you go upstairs and work first? We should all be going back soon."
"Okay." Shi Xiaoyu looked at Wang Qing lying on the ground and whispered, "Director Chai, is Secretary Wang okay?"
"He is so capable, so it must be no problem." Chai Qiaoying smiled, not even bothering to look at Wang Qing.
There were pig-slaughtering howls and swear words coming from the reception room. No need to ask, it must be Wu Dayou who was yelling.
The child shivered and hugged Shen Wen's legs tightly: "Mom... I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, mom is here, don't be afraid." Shen Wen squatted down and held the child in her arms again.
After a few minutes, the shouting and cursing suddenly stopped. The old policeman opened the door and walked out, saying, "He doesn't accept it. He said he wants to find your factory manager."
"That's impossible. It's useless for him to go to the mayor. Our factory director won't meet with such a person." Chai Qiaoying said, "We have said everything that needs to be said. Police comrade, you should take him away. I can also assure you that if he comes again, our factory will handle it on its own and will never alarm you again."
The old policeman said, "Okay, we'll take him away first, and then we'll try to persuade him, but I don't think he'll listen."
"What about the child?" Xia Qingtang asked, "Does he still want the child?"
"He just swears, and we don't know whether he wants the child or not." The old policeman said, walking into the house and bringing Wu Dayou out.
His hands were handcuffed and his mouth was stuffed with something, but as soon as he saw Shen Wen, he immediately showed a crazy expression.
Shen Wen shuddered at first, but immediately looked at him without flinching, not giving in at all.
Xia Qingtang walked up to her and whispered something in her ear. Shen Wen was startled for a moment, but quickly nodded.
She pulled the child towards the police. Wu Dayou looked at her with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.
Shen Wen took a deep breath and whispered something. Wu Dayou was still trying to kill with his eyes, but after hearing these words, he suddenly trembled and his eyes changed from scary to horrified. He looked at Shen Wen as if he was looking at a ferocious monster.
