Tong Xuelu and Huang Xianglan went to the state-owned hotel, where the chef was killing a chicken.
She dipped some chicken blood with cotton and covered it all the way back to the factory.
Director Ma of the workshop was shocked when he saw her like this: "Xuelu, what's wrong with your forehead?"
Tong Xuelu frowned and gasped: "Director Ma, I was hit by a bicycle on the way to work and my head was broken. I want to ask you for leave to go to the hospital to clean the wound."
Director Ma signed the leave application and asked concernedly: "Why are you so careless? Where is the person who hit you? Did you just let him run away?"
"No, he was also careless at the time. He compensated me ten yuan because he had an emergency and couldn't accompany me to the hospital."
Director Ma nodded after hearing this: "That's more like it, but then again, why did you have so many disasters? Let's not talk about it. Go and clean the wound quickly."
"Thank you, Director Ma."
After walking a long way out of the factory, Tong Xuelu threw away the cotton soaked in chicken blood, and then met Huang Xianglan at the station.
She had taken too many days off recently, and if she didn't put on a show, it would definitely leave a bad impression on people.
"Have you notified your cousin?"
Huang Xianglan nodded: "Yes, I told her that we will be there in about two hours, so that she won't be beaten too early."
Hearing this, Tong Xuelu felt sad and helpless.
No matter which society or era, women are always in a weak position.
Before she crossed into the book, she saw a news report that a woman who was abused by her husband jumped off a building and became disabled, but she still couldn't get a divorce. Now Su Xiuying has to send herself to them to be beaten again in order to report her husband and mother-in-law.
It's so hard for women!
They were lucky. They only had to wait for more than ten minutes before a bus came. The two got on the bus, bought tickets, and found a seat.
People's adaptability is extremely strong. After taking the bus several times, Tong Xulu is now very adaptable to the bumpy rhythm.
After getting off the bus, the two went straight to the state-owned hotel. When
Su Xiuying saw the two of them, she was so excited that her hands were shaking. She turned around and asked for leave, and then ran out to meet the two of them.
However, after just over a week of not seeing each other, Su Xiuying was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.
She looked haggard, with many bruises on the corners of her face and mouth, and a patch of hair on her forehead was bald. It should be caused by her husband or mother-in-law.
It's hard not to get angry when you see her.
Tong Xuelu said, "Comrade Su, have you really thought it through?"
Su Xiuying pursed her pale lips into a line and nodded heavily, "I have thought it through. I must make sure that those two beasts receive the punishment they deserve!"
She had been enduring for the sake of her daughter, but that beast should never have hit Xiaoqiu!
She could tolerate anything, except hitting Xiaoqiu. Rather than having them beaten to death one day, it would be better for her to send them to hell!
Tong Xuelu saw that although she looked haggard, her eyes were very firm: "In that case, let's start."
Su Xiuying nodded and turned to the steel plant where her husband He Baogen worked.
Huang Xianglan looked at her cousin's back with an uneasy look on her face.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "Why, are you scared?"
Huang Xianglan bit her lip and said: "Actually, I'm not scared, I'm just a little worried. When my aunt and the others find out, I wonder if they will blame me?"
Tong Xuelu patted her shoulder: "Don't care about other people's opinions. You just need to know that you are saving your cousin from danger. You are helping a suffering working-class sister. If anyone dares to scold you for this, That means their thinking is not progressive enough. You have to believe that what you do is great and noble!"
Huang Xianglan was immediately encouraged and said excitedly: "Comrade Tong, you said it very well! I will remember your words. If anyone dares to scold me, I will say that their thinking is backward!"
Although she had made up her mind to help her cousin before, she was actually very nervous. She was worried that her cousin's husband would go to prison and her aunt would blame her for destroying her cousin's marriage.
But when she heard Tong Xulu's words, she felt warm in her heart and felt a fighting spirit burning.
She must save her cousin from the water and fire!
**
Su Xiuying came to the steel plant and asked the guard to call He Baogen out.
When He Baogen saw her appear at the factory gate, he frowned: "Why didn't you go to work again?"
Su Xiuying saw the fierce look in his eyes and trembled subconsciously, but when she thought of her daughter's face covered with blood after being beaten that day, she forced herself to calm down.
"I went to work, but someone came to me and said that my mother fell at home and had to be sent to the hospital immediately. I couldn't move my mother by myself, so I had to come to you."
When He Baogen heard that his mother was in trouble, he hurried back to ask for leave, and then the couple hurried home.
Tong Xuelu and Huang Xianglan had been waiting nearby. When they saw Huang Xianglan taking He Baogen home, they hurried to follow them. They
followed until they reached the entrance of the alley, and then they stopped.
Tong Xuelu: "You wait here, I will go there alone. When you hear a quarrel, you go to the police station and report it. Do you understand?"
Huang Xianglan clenched her fist: "I understand, you hurry up!"
Tong Xuelu nodded, turned around and walked towards Su Xiuying's house.
He Baogen was worried about his mother, so he ran home in a hurry. But when he ran into the yard, he saw his mother sitting at the door sewing shoe soles.
He paused, turned around, glared at Su Xiuying fiercely and asked: "What's going on? Didn't you say my mother fell and was injured?"
Su Xiuying took a step back because of his glare.
Before he could answer, Mrs. He heard their voices, raised her head and asked curiously: "Baogen, why are you back? Did something happen?"
He Baogen was furious: "It's all because of this bitch. She told me that you fell and had to go to the hospital immediately, so I asked for leave and came back!"
Mrs. He jumped up and cursed: "You are a useless chicken that can't lay eggs, are you cursing me to death? Baogen, you see your daughter-in-law is getting more and more lawless. Now she dares to ride on your mother to shit. You have to teach her a lesson!"
He Baogen frowned, stared at Su Xiuying and shouted: "You'd better explain it to me clearly, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you!"
Although Su Xiuying had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but tremble in the end.
She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I lied. I asked you to come back to discuss divorce with you!"
He Baogen's eyes were as big as cow's eyes: "What did you say? If you have the guts, say it again!"
Su Xiuying clenched her fists and said word by word: "He Baogen, I don't want to live with you anymore. I want to divorce you!"
"Pa"!
As soon as the words fell, Su Xiuying was slapped hard in the face.
He Baogen was tall and his slap was like a palm leaf fan, which immediately slapped Su Xiuying's face to the side.
Su Xiuying's face was burning, and her ears were buzzing: "He Baogen, if you have the guts, beat me to death today, or I will divorce you!"
He Baogen was so angry that veins on his forehead were exposed, and he raised his hand to slap her again!
Su Xiuying did not dodge. After the slap, her face was swollen, her nose was hot, and two nosebleeds flowed.
She did not wipe the blood off her face, and said in a voice that only He Baogen and He Pozi could hear: "He Baogen, you are a useless bastard who only knows how to bully others. You and your mother are both worthless and worse than animals. I curse you to go to the eighteenth level of hell after you die!"
He Pozi saw her son beating up Su Xiuying and originally did not want to do anything. But when she heard Su Xiuying actually curse her and her son to go to hell, she could not help but get furious.
"You bastard who can't even lay eggs, I will beat you to death!"
He Pozi ran over, stretched out her hand to grab Su Xiuying's hair, and scratched her face with her nails, scratching Su Xiuying's face in an instant.
Su Xiuying felt like her scalp was about to be torn off. She screamed, "Help! Help! He Baogen and his mother are going to kill someone."
The He family made such a big commotion that people in the yard ran out one after another.
"Mrs. He, why are you guys fighting again?"
"That's right, stop fighting, and talk it over."
It was working time, and the people who stayed in the yard were either the elderly or children. Seeing He Baogen and his mother and son beating Su Xiuying, they didn't dare to come forward to stop them.
Mrs. Ho grabbed Su Xiuying's face and cursed like a mad dog: "This loser has only given birth to a money-losing child in seven years of marriage. She still has the nerve to ask for a divorce? Pah!"
Su Xiuying's face was cramped with pain: "Why can't I get a divorce? I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my body. The problem is your son. He is tall and strong, but he is a coward!"
Wow~
It turns out that the person who can't give birth to a child is not Su Xiuying, but Ho Baogen!
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Ho Baogen.
Ho Baogen felt a surge of blood rushing to his face, and he clenched his fist and swung it towards Su Xiuying's face!
"Bang"!
Su Xiuying was beaten so hard that she took two steps back and fell to the ground.
Tong Xuelu ran in with a look of shock on her face: "How could you hit someone?"
He Baogen said fiercely: "This is our family affair, it has nothing to do with you!"
He walked forward and tried to hit Su Xiuying again.
Su Xiuying lay on the ground groaning, her face covered in blood.
Tong Xuelu was afraid that she would be beaten to death, so she ran up to protect her: "You'd better stop it. If you dare to touch me, I will report you to the police station for being a hooligan!"
He Baogen stopped and glared at Tong Xuelu with gritted teeth.
He Baogen was afraid of being reported for being a hooligan, but He Pozi was not afraid.
She jumped up and pointed at Tong Xuelu and cursed: "
You meddle in everything, from heaven to earth, from cats to dogs, but when will it be your turn as a little girl to meddle in the affairs of our He family?" "It's wrong for you to hit people! This is a new society, and you still dare to use the old society's methods to torture your daughter-in-law. I'm going to report you to the police station!"
"It's none of your business! It's none of your business!" Mrs. He was so angry that she jumped up and rushed forward to grab Tong Xuelu's face.
Tong Xuelu pretended to be frightened and screamed: "Murder, help, murder--"
She screamed while waving her hands and feet wildly, and when she wasn't paying attention, she suddenly kicked Mrs. He's body.
Kicked her out!
Mrs. He fell to the ground and screamed, "Ouch, my waist is going to break! Baogen, hurry up and beat this little bitch to death for your mother!"
He Baogen was furious when he saw his mother being beaten, and his fists clenched loudly: "Bitch, who told you to meddle in other people's business? Believe it or not, I will slap you to death?"
Tong Xulu sneered, glanced at his trouser pocket and said, "A tree without bark is doomed to die, and a shameless person is invincible. You have an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless. You have no nerve and yet you scold your wife for not laying eggs. Bah, you are so shameless!"
After that, she turned around and ran away without waiting for He Baogen to react.
He Baogen screamed, a burst of anger rushed to his head, his face flushed purple, and he ran after him.
"You bastard, if I don't kill you, I'll take your last name today!"
Tong Xuelu ran wildly, ran to the door and hid to the side, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, counting down in her heart "three, two, one..."
When He Baogen was about to rush out of the door, she stretched her foot forward - there was
a loud "bang"!
He Baogen was caught off guard and was tripped, and the whole person fell forward to the ground, hitting his face heavily on the ground.
He got up and felt that his nose bridge was about to be broken. His nose was sore and painful, and he cursed his mother: "Bitch..."
"Bitch your mother!" Tong Xuelu interrupted him, "You are infertile and still want to have children. I have never seen a man who is so eager to be cuckolded as you are!"
He Baogen's chest was burning with anger, and veins on his temples were throbbing: "Bitch, I will kill you!"
Being called a coward again and again, any man will be angry!
He Baogen endured the pain and got up to beat Tong Xuelu.
Tong Xuelu turned around and ran again, shouting as she ran: "Help, someone is killing me, someone is trying to kill me!"
There was a domestic violence pervert chasing her from behind. Tong Xuelu's heart was pounding. Fortunately, just after she turned the corner, she saw two police officers coming towards her.
She quickly shouted: "Public Security Comrades, help me! Someone is trying to kill me!"
When the two police officers heard the shouting, they ran over at full speed.
He Baogen was furious and didn't even hear what Tong Xuelu said. When he caught up with her, he saw the police officer standing next to her and his face suddenly changed.
Tong Xulu pointed at He Baogen and said, "Comrade Public Security, it's him, it's him who wants to kill me!"
He Baogen froze in an instant: "Comrade Public Security, you've caught the wrong person. This woman beat my mother, so I ran out to chase her!"
Tong Xulu's eyes were red: "Comrade Public Security, he's talking nonsense! I passed by here and heard someone shouting for help in the yard. I ran in and saw this man and his mother teamed up to beat a woman."
"The woman's face was covered in blood. I ran in to stop them, but they scolded me for meddling in other people's business. His mother was going to beat me, and I accidentally pushed his mother, so this man chased me out and wanted to kill me. You should have heard it just now. I was really scared!"
As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.
The two policemen saw that Tong Xuelu looked weak and frail, crying and shaking with fear, while He Baogen looked fierce. They heard the curses from the other party when they ran over.
Comparing the two, they naturally chose to believe Tong Xuelu's words without thinking.
The two policemen twisted He Baogen's arms and took him back to the yard.
After seeing her son chasing out, Mrs. He became more and more angry. She climbed up and rode on Su Xiuying, beating and cursing -
"You are a sick chicken that can't lay eggs. I told you not to file for divorce. I told you not to file, and I will beat you to death!"
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Slaps were slapped on the face again and again. Su Xiuying did not dodge or struggle.
She knew that the police officers should be here soon. The worse she was beaten, the heavier the punishment would be for these two scumbags!
She had been beaten so many times anyway. She only needed to endure this time, and she and her daughter would be free in the future!
This was the scene that Tong Xuelu and the two police officers saw when they came in.
Tong Xuelu took off her shoes and smashed them at Mrs. He's face: "Public security comrades, you see, this is a new society, and this old woman dares to use violence in private. It's simply lawless!"
The shoes hit Mrs. He right on the face!
Mrs. He cried out "Ouch!" and her nose was sore from being hit.
When she heard Tong Xuelu talking about the police officers, she thought she was scaring her, but when she looked closely, she saw her son's arm being twisted by two police officers.
She trembled all over and almost peed herself with fright!
A police officer stepped forward and said, "Get up and go to the police station with us!"
Mrs. He's face turned pale and her hands shook like she was having epilepsy: "Comrade police officer, I didn't use any violence. That person is my daughter-in-law. Every family has quarrels. If you don't believe me, ask my daughter-in-law!"
But just as she finished her words, Su Xiuying sat up with blood on her face and said loudly, "Comrade police officer, I want to report He Baogen for beating and abusing women, and Wang Guihua for restoring the old social style. "They tortured my daughter-in-law at home. The wounds on my face and body were caused by them!"
Tong Xuelu: "I can testify! This female comrade was beaten to the ground, and this man did not let her go. This is a new society now. The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky, but there are still people who dare to abuse women like this. People who have no regard for laws and regulations should be shot in my opinion!" When
He Baogen and He Pozi heard the word "shot", their faces changed drastically, and their eyes were as big as cow eyes.
He Pozi gritted her teeth and said kindly: "Xiuying, are you sick and confused? We are your closest relatives, Baogen is Xiaoqiu's father, you can't talk nonsense in front of the public security comrades!" You
come to please us now, what were you doing before?
Su Xiuying looked at Mrs. He and sneered: "Public Security Comrade, I am not talking nonsense, they were the ones who beat me, and more than once. All the injuries, big and small, on my body were caused by them. I will report them, you quickly catch them!"
Mrs. He was scared and angry, and burst into tears: "Oh my God, what sin have I committed to marry such an unscrupulous daughter-in-law! Come and see, there are actually people who report my husband and mother-in-law. She is going to kill our whole family!!"
The people in the compound did not expect things to turn out like this, and they all tried to persuade her.
"Xiuying, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely. It's not good to go to the Public Security Bureau!"
"That's right, we are all family. We can make peace after a quarrel. Xiuying, quickly explain it to the police!"
Mrs. He was really stupid and mean. She wanted to guide public opinion to put pressure on Su Xiuying at this time.
But Su Xiuying was determined. No matter what people around her said, she would not change her mind.
Mrs. He wanted to cry and howl, but was stopped by the male police: "Shut up, and say anything at the Public Security Bureau!"
Mrs. He was like a chicken with its neck strangled. The sound of her crying was stuck in her throat, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Then He Baogen and his mother were taken back to the Public Security Bureau
together. In addition to Tong Xuelu and Su Xiuying, there were also people from the compound.

Public Security Bureau
Pu Jianyi saw Wen Rugui appear at the door of the office and was surprised: "Rugui, why are you here?"
Wen Rugui said in a faint voice: "Tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday. I have to go home and come here on the way. What did you talk to me about last time?"
Pu Jianyi exaggerated: "You just said 29 words in one breath! This is really rare!"
Wen Rugui ignored his surprise, walked in and sat down on the chair: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Pu Jianyi Pu Jianyi shook his head : "I called you because I wanted to tell you about Comrade Tong."
Wen Rugui's expression changed slightly, and his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised: "Speak clearly."
Pu Jianyi chuckled twice: "This is a long story. Didn't I suspect that you were having an affair with her? That day, I went to the station to see someone off and happened to see her, so I wanted to trick her. I asked her if she was your girlfriend. Do you know what she said?"
Wen Rugui's dark eyelashes drooped slightly, and she didn't say a word.
Pu Jianyi pinched his voice and imitated Tong Xuelu: "She said, 'Yes, Rugui and I have been dating for more than a year.' You didn't see her look at that time, with a shy face. Who would have thought that she was actually lying? Do you think she is a thief!"
Wen Rugui glanced at him: "It's not her who is a thief, it's you who is stupid."
"......?"
Pu Jianyi tried to save his dignity: "It's not that I'm stupid, but she didn't play by the rules. What woman would joke about her own reputation?"
Wen Rugui said calmly: "What happened next?"
Pu Jianyi felt his face flush when he thought of what happened that day: "Later, she asked me how I knew about her and pretended to be scared. I was afraid that she would cause misunderstandings, so I told her what you asked me to do for her."
Wen Rugui raised his eyebrows: "You still have the nerve to say you're not stupid?"
"…………"
Pu Jianyi's smile fell: "I was caught off guard at that moment. Who would have thought that such a delicate and weak girl would have as many thoughts as a beehive of coal! But there is one thing I am sure of, I think she is definitely interested in you!"
Wen Rugui frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!" Pu Jianyi
was dissatisfied: "I am not talking nonsense! If she is not interested in you, how could she say that she has been dating you for more than a year? If this gets out, how can she and you find a partner in the future? By the way, did she pester you because she knew your family background?"
Wen Rugui glanced at him coldly: "Comrade Tong is not that kind of person, and he is not as cunning as you."
Pu Jianyi: "……"
Come on, no matter how wrong he is, it is all his fault.
He is protecting her like this before they are together, what will happen if they are together?
Wen Rugui stood up and said, "Since you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. And don't be so stupid again in the future!"
Pu Jianyi: QAQ
Wen Rugui ignored him and walked out of the office with long legs.
When passing by an interrogation room, a crisp voice suddenly came from inside -
"Do you think you won't offend the He family if you don't testify for Comrade Su? I tell you, if you don't tell the truth, you are giving false testimony, and giving false testimony is illegal!"
Why does the voice sound familiar?
Wen Rugui stopped and looked in through the window.
I saw a slender figure leaning against the window. Her black hair was braided and hung in front of her chest. Her fair and delicate skin looked even whiter and more dazzling against the black hair.
Wen Rugui's attention fell on the small red mole under the corner of her eye.
Her eyelashes were long and thick. When her eyelids were lowered, they just covered the red mole under her eye. When her eyelids were lifted, the red mole appeared again, looming, reminding people of the red plum blossoms on the snowy mountains in winter.
The people in the room heard her words and couldn't help but get anxious.
"Comrade, if we say we know nothing, is that also false testimony?"
"Of course, you clearly saw Comrade Su Xiuying being beaten, but you said you didn't know. If that's not false testimony, then what is false testimony? This is a society ruled by law. If you dare to do something illegal, you will be sent to the farm for labor reform!"
"Comrade, it's not that we don't want to help Su Xiuying. She is also a poor person, but we are afraid!"
"Yes, comrade, you don't know that the He family has relatives in the Public Security Bureau. If he is released later, will he cause trouble for us?"
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "What position does his relative hold?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard it was an official."
Tong Xuelu sneered, "Are you so scared of an official? My target's friend is the captain of the criminal investigation department of this public security bureau. What did I say?"
"I tell you, as long as you tell the truth, I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you afterwards!"
"Are you telling the truth, comrade?"
"Of course it's true. My target's surname is Wen, and he and the captain grew up together. Can he watch me being bullied?"
Tong Xuelu said, feeling as if someone was looking at her.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the window. The sun was shining outside the window, and there was no one.
She shook her head, thinking that she might be too sensitive.
Wen Rugui walked out of the Public Security Bureau, and his mind was like a repeat button, repeating Pu Jianyi's words over and over again -
"I think she must be interested in you! If she wasn't interested in you, how could she say that she had been dating you for more than a year?"
The scorching sunlight fell on him, and his dark eyelashes trembled slightly.
Could it be that she really had that kind of interest in him?
Not knowing what he thought of, his eyelashes trembled again.
Although his face still looked indifferent, his ears couldn't help but turn red.
