That's why Wei Qishan and his family of three argued with them.
These three people were clearly there to rescue someone.
[I've also heard that people in this village sell girls like commodities, raising them to be used as dowries to support the families' sons. I hope the relevant departments will intervene.]
When Lu Mengmeng and her two companions arrived at the Qin family's gate, a large crowd had gathered there.
Three policemen stood in the middle, knocking on the door repeatedly, trying to get the Qin family to come out.
They were all covered in sweat, looking as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
Bai Tiantian looked utterly exasperated. "This is just too much. I only had to go to work, but I still had to climb several mountains."
I wonder if the police station will pay them their back wages.
Wei Qishan nodded. "It's probably because of yesterday's live stream; things got out of hand."
Netizens called the police, and local police came to handle the situation after discovering the incident.
However, this small village is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
We had to cross four mountains to get in. This police station's jurisdiction is huge!
That's really going over someone's head.
When Wu Heng saw the family of three arrive, he also brought Qiao Shanshan and Gao Baobao over.
He lives close to the Qin family, and from last night until this morning, he was forced to eat melons until he was stuffed.
Even Gao Baobao has dark circles under her eyes.
When Wei Qishan saw them, he patted Gao Baobao's head like he was petting a dog and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
He was yawning non-stop first thing in the morning.
Wu Heng said somewhat helplessly, "It started making crackling noises around 11 p.m. last night."
A bunch of people rushed out in a flurry, and then rushed back in a flurry around 12 o'clock.
Then came a mixture of cursing and screams.
It basically didn't stop all night.
He himself has a history of domestic violence, but he doesn't think there's anything wrong with hitting people.
But hitting someone and disturbing their sleep is not a good thing.
Wei Qishan was also helpless.
What can be done? The houses in the village are dilapidated and obviously poorly soundproofed.
Any sound is normal.
He reached out and patted Wu Heng on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Clang!"
Just as the group was chatting, the door was suddenly opened.
The middle-aged woman started cursing loudly.
"What are you knocking on all morning? What are you knocking on?"
"Can't a person get any sleep?"
The police usually mediate disputes, and they've seen plenty of unreasonable old ladies like this.
She didn't argue with him, and directly said in a businesslike manner, "We heard from someone that your family is suspected of human trafficking and obstructing freedom of marriage."
The police initially intended to say, "Please come with us for questioning."
But the thought of having to cross four mountains both ways, making it impossible to take a car, came to mind.
Calling people in for questioning is clearly inhumane.
The conversation then shifted to: "Please let the person involved come out and explain to us."
The middle-aged woman glared angrily.
Her tone was extremely harsh, and she angrily asked with her hands on her hips, "What explanation do you need? Do I need to explain my child's affairs to you?"
No matter how much you explain, you can't stop us from educating our children!
The police saw that the old woman was being unreasonable and wouldn't let her out, but they also couldn't physically assault her.
Without a search warrant or anything, we can't just force our way in.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate at the entrance.
Finally, the middle-aged woman simply stopped being reasonable.
No matter what he says, it all boils down to this: "I'm in charge of my own daughter. I raised her, so she has to be responsible for paying my living expenses in her old age."
Nothing else matters.
The money from the bride price will be my retirement fund.
If you feel she's been wronged, give me 10,000 yuan, and she'll be none of my business anymore.
The police were also helpless.
They've seen plenty of these kinds of mundane family matters.
In the end, most of them just fizzle out.
They can only try to reconcile the situation.
He advised gently, "There's no use in you arguing like this."
Even if you marry her off, if your daughter calls the police, you'll both be breaking the law. You'll end up in jail.
The middle-aged woman wouldn't listen at all.
She heard someone say yesterday that it's all nonsense without actual evidence.
Just have the old cripple keep an eye on her daughter and prevent her from going to the police, right?
Even if he has a leg problem, he's still a grown man. How could he not be able to keep a woman by his side?
A middle-aged woman stood blocking the doorway, like a gatekeeper, refusing to let anyone in.
Just then, the middle-aged woman was suddenly bumped from behind, lost her balance, and fell face-first to the ground.
Qin Meimei was bound hand and foot, her mouth gagged with a rag, and she had injuries on her face and body. She staggered out.
The police were shocked to see her like this, and quickly stopped the middle-aged woman who was about to hit her, and untied Qin Meimei from the ropes.
The moment Qin Meimei was untied, she burst into tears.
"I won't marry him! I won't marry that old cripple! You can kill me, but I won't marry him!"
Even if you kill me, I'll haunt you as a ghost!
