"Comrade Zhou, if you need witnesses, the villagers and I can go and testify," the captain said in a flattering tone.
"Thank you, Captain. It is indeed necessary." Zhou Yubai nodded slightly to the Captain. "My second sister has been bullied by the Zhang family, and Zhang Daqing has had improper relationships with many people. I want a divorce."
"We can't get divorced. What will we do if Daqing comes back and loses his wife?" Zhang's mother said hurriedly.
"As for the divorce, it is indeed difficult to make a decision without Zhang Daqing around." The captain was also a little embarrassed. After all, divorce is not something that can be decided by just one family saying so.
"If the village can't make the decision, we will go to the Women's Federation. We will always be able to give my second sister a reason." Zhou Yubai said coldly. He looked at the Zhang family and said, "What do you think? Will you give me a divorce?"
Zhang's mother wanted to refuse.
Zhang Erqing grabbed Zhang's mother's arm. He had just been beaten badly.
It looked just a little red and swollen, but it actually hurt a lot. He was sure that Zhou Yubai would hit him, and the look he just gave him clearly told him that if he didn't agree, he would never have a peaceful life in the future.
Zhang Erqing didn't want to get beaten up often because of Zhang Daqing.
"Second brother, why are you pulling me along?" Zhang's mother said unhappily.
"Mom, don't say anything. Just listen to me." Zhang Erqing looked at Zhang's mother and whispered, "Mom, you should know that my eldest brother is missing now. You can only rely on me to support you in your old age."
Zhang's mother opened her eyes wide, but finally closed her mouth and tilted her head to the side.
"Comrade Zhou, we have no objection to your suggestion of divorce. My eldest brother is always fooling around outside, and my eldest sister-in-law often cries. It's better to get a divorce. I will tell my eldest brother when he comes back." Zhang Erqing smiled. His face, covered with bruises and mottled spots, looked very funny.
"That's good that you agree." Zhou Yubai's expression softened slightly.
"But this matter also requires the consent of my sister-in-law..." Zhang Erqing said tentatively.
"I will talk to my second sister, you just need to be prepared." Zhou Yubai said and looked at Gu Qichuan.
"Captain, let's go to the Public Security Bureau first. We can't let the innocent Comrade Zhou Mingyue continue to be detained. If this matter gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of your Zhangjia Village." Gu Qichuan said.
"Okay." The captain responded quickly.
"Zhang Erqing should go with us. We can complete the divorce procedures together." Zhou Yubai looked at Zhang Erqing.
Zhang Erqing dared not refuse and hurried to follow.
Gu Qichuan and his companions came by car, but there were too many people passing by and the car could not accommodate them, so the captain directly called for the tractor in the village to take everyone to the county public security bureau.
County Public Security Bureau.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Qichuan greeted his acquaintances.
Captain Zhangjiacun, Zhang Erqing and others suddenly felt a huge pressure and dared not act rashly.
Zhou Yubai's friends are very familiar with the people in the county public security bureau. If there really were to be a fight, they would definitely help their acquaintances.
Their impression is that it is easier to get things done with acquaintances, rather than fairness and justice.
In fact, the people in the Public Security Bureau are familiar with Gu Qichuan because Gu Qichuan helped them solve cases, and Gu Qichuan would not abuse his power for personal gain, so it would be fine to just put some pressure on him.
The team leader, Zhang Erqing and the villagers all explained the situation truthfully.
Zhou Mingyue was finally released. During the time when Zhang Daqing was missing, Zhou Mingyue had been working and went home to take care of Zhang's mother at night.
Never left.
There were witnesses at home and at work.
Zhou Mingyue has nothing to do with Zhang Daqing's disappearance.
Gu Qichuan arranged a room for Zhou Yubai and Zhou Mingyue.
"Yu Bai, talk to my second sister first if you have anything to say. Wait until you've discussed it before leaving," said Gu Qichuan.
"Thank you." Zhou Yubai thanked.
Gu Qichuan turned around and went out and closed the door.
Zhou Mingyue didn't have any injuries on her body, she just looked rather haggard. She was extremely thin, even thinner than the last time Zhou Yubai saw her, and a lot darker.
The woman is no more than 30 years old, but she looks like she is in her early 40s.
She used to be so bright and beautiful, but now...
"Second sister." Zhou Yubai called in a low voice.
Zhou Mingyue looked at Zhou Yubai and couldn't help crying.
"Yu Bai." Zhou Mingyue spoke with a sob, her voice trembling, and it took her a while to calm down.
"I really don't know where Zhang Daqing has gone."
"It doesn't matter where he goes. Just get a divorce and I'll take you back to Kaoshantun. Song Lai Di has been sent to a farm for reform. You can live at home or at my place." Zhou Yubai said.
He severed ties with the Zhou family, but Zhou Mingyue did not. After she divorced and returned home, her household registration was still under Zhou Sicheng's.
"Divorce..." Zhou Mingyue was stunned. She had never thought about divorce. She believed that once you are married, it will last a lifetime no matter good or bad.
So she dared to resist with all her might before she got married, but after she got married, she just accepted her fate.
Zhou Yubai told her that she could get a divorce...
Zhou Mingyue lowered her head, not knowing what decision to make.
"Second sister, I can only help you this time. You have to think clearly and answer me. The Zhang family doesn't treat you as a human being at all. If you go back, they will continue to bully you. Whether Zhang Daqing is at home or not, you will suffer."
"Leaving them and returning to Kaoshantun, you won't be able to enjoy the best food and drink, but as long as you go to work, at least you won't be hungry or cold. You won't have to take care of a whole family, and your life will be better than now anyway."
After Zhou Yubai finished speaking, he stopped talking.
If Zhou Mingyue chooses to go back to Zhang's house, this will be the last time he helps her.
If she chooses to divorce, he will help her in the future.
The room fell into a strange silence. After a while, Zhou Mingyue suddenly stood up and wiped away her tears. "Yu Bai, I'm divorced, but I can't live in Song Lai Di's house. Zhou Sicheng, that little beast, is still at home."
"What did Zhou Sicheng do?" Zhou Yubai immediately realized that something was wrong.
"He, he..." Zhou Mingyue almost couldn't help herself. After a pause, she said fiercely, "When you went to the army, it was him who put Zhang Daqing in my room and raped me. That's why I had to marry Zhang Daqing."
"Yu Bai, I'm sorry. When you came to me, I was being badly abused by Zhang Daqing. He tortured me as soon as you came. I was scared. I have never had a child, and I was afraid that I would become a burden. I was really too scared, so I..." Zhou Mingyue burst into tears.
Zhou Yubai stepped forward and patted Zhou Mingyue on the shoulder.
"You can live in my house first." Zhou Yubai said.
"I will go back and register my household registration separately. When the time comes, I will apply for a residential plot and live in my own thatched hut. I won't disturb you." Zhou Mingyue promised with a sob.
Zhou Yubai helped her up and said, "Let's take care of the matter first, and we can discuss other things when we get back."
"good."
The brother and sister went out together.
Zhang Erqing and everyone in Zhangjia Village were in the conference room.
Gu Qichuan specially invited people from the county women's federation to come and give them lessons... focusing on how to respect women comrades who hold up half the sky.
