With a bang,
Tong Xuelu slapped the table and said, "This is really too much!"
The two waitresses: ???
Are there people more arrogant than them these days?
The short-haired waitress Chen Dani stood up, put her hands on her hips and cursed: "What are you doing? You are the one who should pay for the damage to the table?"
Tong Xulu turned around, her face full of indignation: "I'm so sorry, two female comrades. I didn't mean to damage public property. I just got so angry when I heard what you said!"
"As a woman, in addition to having children, you have to go to work and earn money, even if you are pregnant. In addition, when you get home from work, you have to do housework and take care of the whole family. You work hard every day, but in the end, no one appreciates you, and you have to be used as a punching bag. As a woman, I was really angry and upset when I heard about that sister!"
At the end, she clenched her fists tightly, the veins on her back were exposed, and she looked like she was going to fight with someone.
Huang Xianglan, a long-haired waitress, is not married yet, so she may not be able to empathize with Tong Xuelu's words very well, but Chen Dani has personal experience.
Although her husband and mother-in-law don't beat her up, they definitely don't look at her in a good face.
Her first two pregnancies were daughters, and her mother-in-law looked at her with displeasure every day, saying that she originally thought she would be easy to give birth because of her big butt, but who knew that she gave birth to a series of money-losing goods.
I remember that when she gave birth to her second child, she didn't even observe the confinement period. She got up in the cold winter weather to wash clothes for the whole family. Her body was the root of the disease at that time, and every time she had her period, she would be in excruciating pain. It was not
until she gave birth to a son that her mother-in-law stopped nagging her son to remarry. As for her husband, he was a jerk who only knew how to bully her at home. If he got mad at her outside, he would definitely come back to her to make trouble! In short, she couldn't stop crying for three days and three nights. Chen Dani changed her stern face and put her hands on her hips: "Comrade, you are so right. We women have such a hard life!" This waitress was obviously a person with a story. Tong Xuelu walked towards her and nodded excitedly: "It's a hard life! We women get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, and work harder than cows. In the end, we don't even have the qualifications to sit at the table to eat during the New Year and other festivals!" Huang Xianglan didn't feel anything just now, but when she heard this, she suddenly remembered that her mother got up before dawn to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner every year, and worked hard for most of the day but couldn't sit at the table to eat. She immediately felt sorry for her mother. And her cousin, she has never had a good day since she married into the He family, and punching and kicking are commonplace. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nod: Women are indeed too hard-working! Tong Xuelu continued: "Comrade Chairman said that women can hold up half the sky. Why do men treat us women like this? I have decided that I will help the suffering working class sister." Huang Xianglan was stunned: "You want to help my cousin?" Chen Dani was also a little confused. Although she was very angry, this was someone else's family affair after all, how could she help? Tong Xuelu nodded: "My father is the director of the Logistics and Oil Department of the People's Liberation Army, my mother is the director of the Women's Federation, and my two brothers and sisters-in-law all work in government agencies. As long as I open my mouth, I have plenty of ways to help your cousin teach her mother-in-law and husband a lesson." Chen Dani and Huang Xianglan did not expect Tong Xuelu to have such a powerful background, and they were both shocked. Although Huang Xianglan wanted to teach her cousin's mother-in-law and husband a lesson, it was difficult for her to make a decision on this matter. Tong Xuelu saw her dilemma at a glance: "How about this, you give me the address of your cousin's work, and I will go to ask her in person. If she is willing, I will help her out. If she is not willing, I will also respect her opinion. What do you think?" Huang Xianglan's eyes lit up: "That's great, thank you comrade." ** After getting the address from Huang Xianglan, Tong Xuelu left the state-owned hotel and took a car to the city. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the state-owned hotel in the city, she was told that Su Xiuying did not come to work. The waitress at the state-owned hotel in the city stared at Tong Xuelu's face with her swollen eyes, with a bit of jealousy in her eyes: "Who are you to Sister Xiuying? Why haven't I heard her mention you?" Tong Xuelu took out two candies from her military bag and stuffed them into her mouth, smiling: "I'm a friend of Sister Xiuying's cousin. She asked me to bring a message to Sister Xiuying, but unfortunately she didn't come to work. What should I do?" The waitress was jealous of Tong Xuelu's good looks. After being stuffed with two candies, she suddenly felt that she looked much better: "If you are in a hurry, I can tell you her home address." Tong Xuelu was surprised: "Thank you so much, comrade." Su Xiuying lived some distance away from the state-owned hotel, and Tong Xuelu asked for directions along the way. When she walked into an alley paved with bluestone slabs, she suddenly heard a woman's miserable cry for help and a man's angry curse, mixed with the crying of a child. Her heart sank, and she quickened her pace to run over. When she turned the corner, she saw a tall man punching and kicking a woman. The woman huddled in the corner of the wall, her hair disheveled, her forehead was smashed by something, blood flowed from her forehead, staining the clothes on her chest red. Facing the beating from the man, she did not resist, but stretched out her hands to tightly protect the child in her arms. Tong Xuelu: My fist is hard! She did have selfish motives when she came to Su Xiuying before, wanting to exchange work positions with her, but now she feels that it doesn't matter whether to change work positions or not, but the man in front of her must die. She stepped back, then ran back again, shouting as she ran: "Comrade Public Security, we are just ahead. I heard a woman crying and a man scolding. Hurry up." Hearing this, He Baogen stopped moving and stretched his neck to look at the entrance of the alley. Although he didn't see anything, he could clearly hear the footsteps approaching from afar, and the voices of "Comrade Public Security", which made his face change greatly. "You are lucky today. If you dare to talk back to me next time, I will kill you!" After saying that, he kicked Su Xiuying hard, turned around and ran away. When he ran away, Tong Xuelu ran out from the corner. "You are Sister Xiuying, right? What's wrong with you?" Su Xiuying was beaten so hard that her whole body hurt and her head was dizzy.
When she heard Tong Xuelu calling her name, she raised her head a little late, but she saw a strange face: "You... know me?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "I am a friend of your cousin Huang Xianglan, I will explain the rest later, I will take you to the hospital now!"
Su Xiuying shook her head: "No, I'm fine."
Tong Xuelu guessed that she probably didn't bring any money with her: "Sister Xiuying, even if you don't worry about yourself, you should take the child to the hospital for a check-up!"
The child in her arms had his eyes tightly closed, and his little face was as white as a piece of paper. I don't know when he was scared and passed out.
Su Xiuying realized that the child was fainted, and she was so anxious that she struggled to hold the child and stand up, but she was so weak that she couldn't even stand up.
Tong Xuelu quickly supported her, took the child from her arms, and took her to the hospital.
**
Su Xiuying was covered in bruises, but she only let the doctor treat the wound on her forehead.
Her daughter He Xiaoqiu didn't have any obvious wounds, but she was scared and was dazed after waking up.
At this time, they came to the small garden of the hospital.
Tong Xuelu helped her sit down and asked, "Sister Xiuying, what are you going to do in the future?"
Su Xiuying looked at her in confusion with a swollen face.
What else can she do?
No matter how uncomfortable it is, she can only spit out the broken teeth and blood.
If she wants to blame someone, she can only blame her bad luck.
Tong Xuelu guessed her thoughts as soon as she saw her expression: "Sister Xiuying, haven't you ever thought about divorce? You have a job and it's no problem for you to support yourself and the child. Why do you want to live like this?"
Su Xiuying pursed her cracked lips and said nothing.
Divorce?
She did think about it, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was beaten by her husband and lay in bed for three days and three nights.
No one in her family agreed with her divorce, saying that she would lose face if she divorced. If she really dared to divorce, she would never go back!
And if she really divorced, what would happen to the child?
The He family would definitely not give the child to her. How could she bear to leave her daughter alone in the He family.
So can she get a divorce? She can't!
Tong Xuelu sighed and said, "Sister Xiuying, I know I shouldn't say this, but I really feel sorry for you! This would be fine if it happened in the old society, but now it's a new society. Comrade Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. Sister Xiuying, you are so beautiful and capable, why do they treat you like this?"
Su Xiuying had been trying hard not to cry, but now she was filled with grievances.
Before marrying into the He family, she was also a flower in the factory. If He Baogen hadn't vowed to treat her well, she wouldn't have chosen him.
Life changed after marriage. The first time she was beaten was because she didn't want to give her newly bought clothes to her sister-in-law, and the second time she was beaten was because her mother-in-law scolded her and she retorted. Later, she was beaten so many times that she couldn't remember the reasons.
She didn't get pregnant after three years of marriage, and her mother-in-law kept scolding her for being a sick chicken that didn't lay eggs. But when she went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her body. She suspected that her husband had a physical problem, and wanted to persuade him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but she was beaten again.
That time, the beating was really fierce, and two of her teeth were knocked out and a finger was broken.
The next year, she got pregnant, but it was a daughter. When her mother-in-law saw that she was giving birth to a daughter, she turned around and left. The child is now three years old, but her mother-in-law and husband have never hugged her.
Tong Xuelu saw her biting her lower lip tightly, knowing that she was already a little shaken, and continued: "Sister Xiuying, even if you don't plan for yourself, don't you plan for the child?"
"Look, the child was scared today. If she lives in this fearful environment for a long time, do you know how much damage it will cause to her? And your husband has such a bad temper, will he do something to the child in the future?"
"No, he won't..."
Su Xiuying denied with a pale face.
But the words she said were so weak that I'm afraid even she herself didn't believe them.
"Even if he doesn't beat the child, he beats you. How long can you endure this? Let me tell you a story. There was a woman who was often beaten by her husband like you. No matter how hard he beat her, she never thought about divorce. Guess what happened to her later?"
Su Xiuying looked at her and shook her head in a daze.
Tong Xuelu suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Later, she died! Killed by her husband!"
Su Xiuying screamed, and the blood on her face seemed to be drained away in an instant, and her eyes were wide open in horror.
Tong Xuelu: "After her husband killed her, he pretended that she died of illness. Less than a month after her death, her husband remarried. The new woman took over the job of the previous woman, slept with her husband, and tortured her daughter. Do you think that woman is miserable?"
Su Xiuying couldn't help but shudder when she heard the latter part.
The daughter in her arms seemed to feel her mother's fear and cried like a cat: "Mom..."
It was this call of "Mom" that made Su Xiuying's tears run down: "Oh my God, what should I do?"
She didn't think Tong Xuelu was scaremongering at all.
If she couldn't have a child again, her husband might really beat her to death. He would not divorce her because divorce would bring shame to the He family. In this case, the best way would be to kill her and remarry.
Tong Xuelu said sternly, "You should report them!"
Su Xiuying stopped crying, "Report?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, "Yes, report them! The wounds on your body are the best evidence, and I am the best witness. As long as you report them, they will definitely be sentenced."
In later generations, domestic violence often does not receive any punishment, but in this era, the criminal law is very severe.
As long as Su Xiuying dares to kill her relatives for the sake of justice, she will definitely let them receive the lesson they deserve.
However, Su Xiuying was hesitant to make up her mind.
She looked at Tong Xuelu with a pale face: "No, I can't do that..."
If she really reported it, how would others look at her?
Others would definitely think she was too vicious to even kill the child's biological father.
And her family would definitely not understand her.
It's really pitiful that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Tong Xuelu was very disappointed in her heart.
But it was getting late, and if she didn't go back now there would be no more cars, so she had to give up trying to persuade him for the time being.
After saying goodbye to Su Xiuying, she took a bus directly back to Yanqing County.
As soon as she walked into the family compound, she saw Lao Lin's wife walking towards her: "Hey, my dear daughter, you don't know that your grandma called the factory this afternoon!"
The author has something to say: Tong Xuelu: Hey, people from Beihe have come thousands of miles to deliver their lives!
