Chapter 175
"Back street?" Bai Xiuxiu thought that if she wanted to work on this street, she would have to interact with this family in the future, so she asked more questions with great interest: "I'm not sure, Sister Ning, can you tell me more?"
Ning Meimei saw that Bai Xiuxiu was interested and felt that she had finally found someone who loved gossip.
Usually, everyone in the family has a dead look on their face and no one likes to chat.
Every day at the dinner table, the topic of discussion is who ate an extra bite of vegetable and who used an extra piece of thread.
She was almost dying.
When she met Bai Xiuxiu, she talked more about this: "The Yuan family has three sons and one daughter. The third son and the youngest daughter are not married yet, but the eldest and second sons are married. The one who has been making trouble these days is their eldest daughter-in-law.
In Old Yuan's family, the mother-in-law favors her youngest son, and her second daughter-in-law gave her a grandson, so she has no objection.
He started to bully his eldest daughter-in-law, asking her to do this and that every now and then.
The eldest daughter-in-law's family members are all honest people, but her mother-in-law always asks her to go back to her parents' home to get things. If she refuses, she will beat her and her granddaughter as well.
Her man is as good as dead, and she doesn't care.
A few days ago, the youngest grandson of the Yuan family scratched the face of the eldest son's daughter-in-law with a stone.
The family quarreled, and not only did they not beat their grandson, they also forbade the eldest son's wife and her daughter to eat. This anger led to suicide.
But the person was rescued, and after this moment, she finally understood.
She cried and made a fuss about taking the child away and didn't want to live like this anymore.
What can the Yuan family do?
They treated the eldest son's wife like a donkey, how could they bear to let her go? They refused to let her go no matter what they said. Her husband didn't know what he was thinking, but he beat her up and said he would beat her to death if she made trouble again.
Tell me, who is this person?
Ning Meimei commented on the family in the back street as she spoke, and her disgust was evident on her face.
Bai Xiu Xiu also felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
"How did the Women's Federation handle it?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked her.
"What can we do? Just mediate it. If mediation doesn't work, then wait and calm down. If we wait any longer, I think his eldest daughter-in-law will die. If the matter is brought to the street office, it will be troublesome for the street office as well. My third aunt from my mother's family works at the street office, and she heard that the director of the office is still having a headache these days."
When Ning Meimei talked about this, she wanted to gossip about another thing.
But before she could gossip, Director Wang, who came to see Bai Xiu Xiu, arrived.
"Xiaobai, have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, I was busy with family matters this morning." Director Wang was wearing a white shirt and green pants, and looked energetic and capable.
When he smiles, he looks quite friendly.
She glanced at Ning Meimei who was with Bai Xiuxiu, and said hesitantly: "Am I disturbing you? Do you have anything to deal with first? If so, I'll go over there first. I haven't been here for a long time, and I missed it a lot when I first came here."
"No, Sister Ning and I were just chatting. Director Wang, shall we go? If you want to see this place, we can come together. I've only moved here not long ago, and I want to get familiar with the place." With that, Bai Xiu Xiu called the two children over and locked the door again.
"Sister Ning, let's talk about this after I come back. I have something to go out for."
After saying that, Bai Xiu Xiu took the two children and got on Director Wang's bicycle.
Ning Meimei felt that Director Wang looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.
I am also a little envious of Bai Xiu Xiu. Xiao Bai is so carefree these days and can go out whenever he wants.
How could that be her?
"Second son's wife? What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come in quickly. Don't hang out with the people next door all day. Will they invite you to dinner? Come on, follow your eldest sister-in-law and go fishing in the wild river west of the city.
If we can catch one or two, it can be used to replenish the health of our family.
Don’t just sit there doing nothing all day.”
In the room, the old lady of the Lin family spoke in a sarcastic tone, which gave Ning Meimei a headache and she hurried back.
On the other side, Director Wang took Bai Xiuxiu to the street office of Bai Xiuxiu's area. Their area is called Wutong Street in the county, and many sycamore trees are planted here.
When we arrived at the street office, there was a commotion going on there.
A woman was holding a child of four or five years old, and both the child and the adult were crying.
The woman's face was bruised and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been beaten. The child also had scars on his face, and the mother was crying, and her crying was heartbreaking.
This mother and daughter were immediately identified with the eldest daughter-in-law and her daughter of the old Yuan family that Ning Meimei and Bai Xiuxiu had mentioned.
That should be it.
This woman is so skinny that her bones are just visible.
She was holding the child in one hand and grabbing a person's leg with the other hand: "I beg you, you have to save me."
The woman looked helpless.
The woman whose trouser legs were being pulled was a woman in her late 50s. She had short hair, wore a blue coat, and had a serious expression on her face.
He looks like a serious person.
"Xiao Xu, it's not that I won't help you. Our street office has also tried to mediate for you. The other party has been adamant about not getting a divorce and is determined to do so. Otherwise, I will arrange for you to live with me first, and we can figure out a solution later, okay?
Otherwise, let's report it to the police?"
She looked indifferent, but when she spoke to the woman, she was very considerate and wanted to help her get out of the predicament temporarily.
The woman's heart was moved, but she didn't know what she was thinking. She shook her head frantically: "No, I can't go to your house, Director Wang, I can't go with you. Their family should go to your house to make trouble, no. I... I can't report it to the police either. Even if I report it, they can't control whether I get a divorce or not."
The woman looked at the child in her arms and sadly wanted to hand the child to the man in front of her.
"Why don't you report it to the police? They are not afraid of anything and are so noisy and aggressive. It's better to report it to the police.
They don't care whether the couple gets divorced or not, but they care about committing violence.
The wound on your face is evidence of their crime. They intentionally hurt someone, so they should be locked up for a few days, and it may even cause their family to lose their jobs."
Bai Xiu Xiu also spoke up to persuade them.
Only after she spoke did Director Wang look over here.
Seeing my niece with Bai Xiu Xiu, I remembered a beautiful young wife my niece had told me about, who was doing very well in the Women's Federation. I wanted to bring her here to see if she could come and work in the streets of the county.
She was very hesitant at first, after all, the girl was not even a member of the commune.
Seeing this and hearing what she just said, Director Wang felt that she was still very opinionated and courageous.
When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family heard what Bai Xiuxiu said, she was also tempted. But after being bullied for many years, she still didn't dare.
As soon as she saw that family, she dared not say anything.
Director Wang looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. Her condition was too bad. If no one helped her out of her predicament, she really would not be able to survive.
Why not try and see if we can solve the problem for her today?
"She's right. Your husband's family doesn't understand the law. They should be made aware of the seriousness of the problem. Xiao Xu, do you agree to report the case? If you agree, we will accompany you there now."
