Chapter 034: Difficulty, the First Case
There are several low old houses behind Lixin Primary School, which were the school’s teaching buildings and offices that had not been completely demolished.
Ten years later, because no one used or lived in the place, the houses collapsed and were in a state of disrepair.
The person Feng Rui was looking for lived in a half-collapsed old classroom.
Before the three of them could get there, they saw a little head poking out from the dilapidated wooden house, and the boy smiled when he saw Feng Rui.
Feng Rui waved and greeted, "Dongzi, is your mother here?"
The child nodded, turned around and called into the house, "Mom, Uncle Feng is here."
Soon, the unbolted wooden door was opened from the inside, and a woman who looked to be about 24 or 25 bent over and came out, smiling at Feng Rui, "Teacher Feng, you're here."
Feng Rui laughed and introduced the woman to Tian Xiang and Chen Yong. Her name was Yan Xiaomai, and she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family of the Ninth Hospital.
"Comrade Xiaomai, these are two new staff members in our office, Tian Xiang and Chen Yong. If you have any needs in the future, you can also contact them."
Yan Xiaomai rubbed her hands and smiled awkwardly, looking at the two of them with envy in her eyes.
He has a job at such a young age, and in a machinery factory.
"My dear comrades, it's too messy inside, there's no place to sit, so I won't invite you in to sit down. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll treat you to tea."
Yan Xiaomai said it reluctantly, and it was obvious that this could not be achieved in a short time.
Tian Xiang looked into the house through the doorway and saw a lot of matchboxes piled on the ground.
It seems that this person is also a member of the matchbox group.
But as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family, why would she live alone in this shabby house with her son?
The three of them didn't stay here for too long. There was not even a place to sit, so it was not convenient to talk.
Feng Rui briefly asked about the mother and son's recent living conditions, then left with Tian Xiang and Chen Yong.
Going outside, the three of them stood under a tree and talked.
Soon, Feng Rui told the two about the situation of Yan Xiaomai and her son.
Yan Xiaomai’s husband Huang Wenhua, formerly a skilled worker in a machinery factory workshop, has been dead for almost a year due to a brain tumor.
Half a year ago, Yan Xiaomai and Du Zhiqiang, a loader at a textile factory, developed feelings for each other.
Du Zhiqiang asked a matchmaker to go to Yan Xiaomai's house, hoping to marry her.
Yan Xiaomai's father-in-law Huang Hongyun, Huang Wenhua's father, firmly disagreed with this matter and instead advocated that Yan Xiaomai marry his youngest son Huang Wenbiao.
The elder brother passed away, and the younger brother married his sister-in-law and treated his nephew as his own son. It doesn't sound good, but it does not violate the regulations. In some places, there are even such customs and habits.
It’s just that Yan Xiaomai wants to marry Du Zhiqiang, not Huang Wenbiao.
She couldn't accept the idea of her sister-in-law marrying her brother-in-law.
The parties involved each had their own ideas, and they argued and fought.
Yan Xiaomai refused to marry her brother-in-law, and the street and neighborhood committee came to mediate. Huang Wenhua had passed away, and there was no reason to force Yan Xiaomai to marry her brother-in-law. She had the right to freedom of marriage.
Huang Hongyun also knew that his reasoning was not convincing, so he detained his grandson and kicked Yan Xiaomai out of the house.
She can remarry, but she can never take her grandson away.
He couldn't let his own bloodline go to another family to be the son.
If Yan Xiaomai just married into the Du family, the matter would be settled, but she couldn't bear to leave her son. Huang Qidong was raised by Yan Xiaomai since he was a child, and her son didn't want to leave his mother. The mother and son couldn't live without each other, so this matter wouldn't work.
In that incident, the mother banged her head against the wall at the outer door, while her son cried so hard inside that he had a fever. Finally, the factory union was found on the street side, and Chairman Jiang stepped in to reunite the mother and son.
But the conflict has not been resolved.
Huang Hongyun acted like a rogue and refused to let the mother and son in, nor did he allow Yan Xiaomai to take her son to the Du family. Unless Yan Xiaomai married his younger son or left her grandson behind, nothing could be done, no matter who came.
Yan Xiaomai had no choice but to move here with her son.
Tian Xiang: "Doesn't Yan Xiaomai have a mother's family?"
Why didn't the girl's family intervene in this kind of situation, allowing her daughter who married out to be bullied by her husband's family like this?
Feng Rui: "Yan Xiaomai's parents live in a village more than 200 miles away, half a day's drive from here. And this has happened for so long, it's impossible for them not to know about it. The fact that no one came means that her parents are unwilling to accept the two of them and can't do anything about it."
This too.
Tian Xiang: "No, why is it that Yan Xiaomai is the one trying to leave the Huang family? What about Du Zhiqiang? Doesn't he want to marry her? Hasn't he come up with any solution or contributed anything?"
Feng Rui: "Du Zhiqiang did contribute, but he didn't have many people at home, and he had a blind old mother. Huang Hongyun was determined not to let the two of them get married. He held the household registration book and refused to give it to them. He also stopped the street from issuing a letter of introduction for the two to get married. After Du Zhiqiang took Yan Xiaomai over, he went to her house and cut his wrists."
Feng Rui emphasized, "It was a real wrist cut! Such a deep cut..."
Feng Rui gestured to the two of them with great emotion.
"Originally, the street office and Chairman Jiang wanted to handle this matter privately. They wanted the police station to return Yan Xiaomai's household registration to her hometown, so that she could marry from her parents' side. The street office would testify for the two of them, issue a certificate, and force the marriage. After Huang Hongyun did this, no one dared to move.
After all, if someone really dies, no one can take the responsibility! ”
The situation remained at a stalemate afterwards, and Yan Xiaomai and her son had been living in that dilapidated house for several months.
Feng Rui sighed, "It's pitiful, but there is no better way for the time being."
The three of them pushed the bicycles back to the factory.
Feng Rui still had to go to the factory, so he left first.
Now that she has become an employee of the factory, Tian Xiang no longer has to leave her bicycle outside, she can just put it in the bicycle shed.
When Tian Xiang followed Chen Yong to park the car, she asked him, "Did you hear about Yan Xiaomai's incident?"
This was the first time that Tian Xiang took the initiative to talk to Chen Yong. Although they were only talking about work, Chen Yong was also very happy inside.
He flicked his hair in what he thought was a cool way, "With all that going on, they must have heard about it."
Tian Xiang: "Besides what Teacher Feng just said, do you know anything else that's different?"
Tian Xiang was very curious why Old Man Huang was so obsessed with having Yan Xiaomai marry his youngest son.
I heard that after Huang Wenhua passed away, the job was transferred to his younger brother. Now Huang Wenbiao is also an employee in the machinery factory. There is no reason why he can’t find a wife!
Chen Yong scratched his head. "I'm not too sure about this, after all, it's about the resettlement area. But I have seen Huang Wenbiao a few times. He has a pointed face and monkey cheeks. Before he started working, he was always wandering around. He was just a street urchin."
Tian Xiangxin said, how dare you call him a street urchin, weren't you one before?
Tian Xiang opened her notebook and wrote down what Chen Yong had just said.
Chen Yong was puzzled, "How come you even remember this?"
“This may be one of the clues.”
Chen Yong thought it was funny, "Here we are investigating a case, and there are still clues."
Tian Xiang glanced at him and asked, "What do you know?"
"Okay, okay, I don't understand."
Chen Yong doesn't compete with Da Piaoliang.
Tian Xiang: "By the way, do you know Aunt Peng's son?"
