Chapter 131 Let the whole family celebrate the New Year in prison!
Police officers were dispatched and Wu Qianjin was quickly arrested.
Even before Li Min and her daughter Xiaoru returned to the snack bar, they saw public security officers rushing into the yard where they had lived before.
When the police station comrades arrived, Wu Qianjin was still playing cards with his group of friends. The room was filled with smoke and the air was so foul that people couldn't even see clearly.
When they saw the police, their first reaction was - they are here to arrest gamblers!
Several people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands skillfully.
Since they knew that these people were present when Li Min was beaten yesterday, and they could all be considered accomplices, the police did not explain and took them all away.
When they were about to reach the snack shop, Wu Qianjin saw Li Min holding her daughter. He yelled at Li Min, asking her to pay the fine and redeem him.
That matter-of-fact tone showed no awareness of the real reason why he was arrested this time.
When Xiaoru saw him, she was so scared that she buried her head in her mother's arms and trembled.
Li Min hugged the child tightly and covered her eyes with her hands, but she glared at Wu Qianjin's receding back, her eyes full of hatred.
Shi Xiaoai gave Li Min a day off, and then asked someone to vacate a small storage room in the backyard of the snack shop for the mother and daughter to stay temporarily.
Because their employees are basically residents nearby, they had not considered the issue of employee dormitories before.
Fortunately, the small room was big enough for a bed and a small table.
Li Min can bring Xiaoru and eat work meals with the employees, and there is no need for a place to cook.
After settling Li Min, Xiao Ai continued to take Wang Xiaofeng and others to the meeting.
Although she intended to let Li Min take over as the manager of the new store, she certainly couldn't let the work come to a standstill because of her personal affairs.
Besides, she and Cheng Yang had to take the child to Qin City, so she didn't want to waste time.
Wang Xiaofeng always felt guilty about Li Min's matter, so she insisted on taking over the preparation work for the new store first.
Shi Xiaoai didn't stop him. After all, Li Min's injury wasn't serious, and she would be able to return to work after a day's rest.
While Shi Xiaoai and the others were busy working on the new store, Wu Qianjin and his family had already received the news that he had been arrested by the police.
Wu Qianjin had been in jail before for gambling. Usually he would be detained for a few days and released after paying a fine. At the beginning, his family was not worried.
I think Li Min can definitely solve this problem.
Then someone came and told them that Wu Qianjin was not arrested for playing cards, but because his wife reported him to the police station!
The whole family was stunned.
They don't believe it.
I just thought it was normal for a couple to fight. Why did the police intervene in the couple's family affairs?
They also felt that Li Min did not have the courage to sue Wu Qianjin.
But people who came later said that it was Li Min's current unit that spoke up for her, saying that Wu Qianjin's behavior was destroying the unit's economic development and delaying its work progress, so the unit sued him on Li Min's behalf.
Then the police came to arrest people.
Wu Qianjin's family was panicked.
Wu Qianjin is an only child with two older sisters. Although his family may not like him now, they still work together when it matters most.
After learning about this, they immediately split up into two groups. Wu Qianjin's parents rushed to the police station to cry, while his two brothers-in-law took several little brothers to the snack shop to bring Li Min back!
They thought that as long as they caught Li Min and asked her to go to the police station to explain the matter, the problem would be solved.
Shi Xiaoai and the others' meeting had not yet ended when a commotion broke out at the back door.
Even from a long distance away and with the door closed, they could hear the loud noise outside.
Several people ran out to see what was happening, and found that the situation had been brought under control.
Wu Qianjin's two brothers-in-law and several of his followers were all tied up with ropes by Sun Gongan and Li Gongan and tied into a bunch.
The employees of the snack bar, especially the male employees, stood opposite them aggressively and surrounded Li Min to protect her.
When they saw Xiao Ai come out, everyone started talking at once as if they had seen their backbone.
It turns out that Wu Qianjin's two brothers-in-law are also cunning.
When they came, they did not go directly into the snack bar, but asked a person who lived nearby to go in and find Li Min.
Because the face was familiar, no one paid attention at first.
I heard him asking about Li Min and that he heard she was injured and her family asked him to come and take a look. The employee even enthusiastically showed him Li Min's current residence.
The man found Li Min, grabbed her hair and dragged her out the door. Wu Qianjin's two brothers-in-law and others rushed over and came in through the back door to take Li Min away.
The snack bar is a public place, and the front and back doors are open for the convenience of customers, so no one questioned these people when they came in.
By the time everyone reacted, they had already tied up Li Min with the ropes they brought.
Xiaoru was also pinched by the waist and tucked under the arm by someone.
Will the employees agree?!
It was not yet the time for customers to come in, and there were many people free, so everyone rushed forward and started fighting with those people.
And some smart people quickly went to find Public Security Sun and Public Security Li who were patrolling nearby.
Catching Wu Qianjin is the most important task of the station today. In addition, Director Zheng came here in person before, so the two police officers certainly understand the situation.
What's more, they have been in the snack bar for a long time and are familiar with the people there, so naturally they have a sense of affection.
When they heard that Li Min was beaten, the two men were already furious and were thinking about how to make Wu Qianjin suffer, but these blind people just walked right into their door!
If it were Wu Qianjin's parents who came, everyone might have been a little concerned, fearing that they were too old and couldn't withstand any bumps.
But the ones coming are a group of strong men, so what are they afraid of?
They immediately stepped forward, subdued these people, and then tied them all up with the ropes they brought with them.
The people who came with Wu Qianjin's brother-in-law only realized at this time that they were in big trouble today!
They originally thought they were just standing up for their coworkers and teaching their brother's wife a lesson, but who would have thought that they would be kidnapped by the police.
At this moment they no longer had the arrogance they had before, and they were all very cowardly. Some of them even had weak legs and were almost crying.
After listening to everyone's explanation, Shi Xiaoai naturally wanted to thank the two public security comrades on behalf of the shop.
Public Security Sun waved his hand. "It's our responsibility to fight criminals and uphold justice for the people. There's nothing to thank me for."
This one sentence made those people tremble with fear.
They don’t understand how they suddenly became criminals?
Public Security Sun and his men tied these people up and sent them to the police station, and Li Min came to express her gratitude again.
Shi Xiaoai said to her, "Don't keep thanking me here. Go to the office and find the comrade in charge of the Women's Federation. Ask them to contact the police station and take you there to complete the divorce procedures with Wu Qianjin."
Li Min nodded immediately, then looked at Shi Xiaoai hesitantly: "What if he doesn't agree?"
Shi Xiaoai said firmly, "He will agree. Go to the Women's Federation first, and when you've finished this matter, go to the police station tomorrow."
Then tell him that as long as he agrees to divorce you, you won't sue him. If he doesn't, you'll fight him and his family to the bitter end! He'll definitely agree."
Li Min clenched his fists and his eyes became firm.
She nodded heavily: "I will fight them to the death! I will divorce him even if it means losing my life!"
Seeing her like this, Shi Xiaoai smiled, patted her gently and said, "It's not necessary. We are such precious people, there is no need to fight with such a scumbag. I just said it to scare him. Don't worry, I have a way, he will definitely agree."
Li Min's eyes suddenly turned red again.
After comforting Li Min, Shi Xiaoai turned around and went back to the office.
Wang Xiaofeng, Aunt Song and the others also hurried back.
After closing the door, Wang Xiaofeng immediately asked, "Sister, what can you do?"
Shi Xiaoai didn't answer. Instead, she looked at her watch and said, "There's still time. Let Xiaolin take me there while I go to the district committee. We can talk about things here tomorrow."
Seeing that she was in a hurry, several people did not dare to ask any more questions. Cheng Lin immediately went out to ride his tricycle.
Shi Xiaoai took her bag and walked out of the office. She was about to go to the back door to wait for Cheng Lin when she saw Cheng Yang standing in the yard.
There was sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had run here.
Seeing him, Shi Xiaoai was a little surprised: "Didn't you take the three of them to the department store today? How come you're back so soon?"
Shi Xiaoai was busy with work and the children were on vacation at home, so Cheng Yang naturally took on the task of taking care of them.
Because they had agreed to go out and play in a few days, the three little ones were very excited and kept chattering about packing their own luggage.
Shi Xiaoai asked Cheng Yang to take them to buy each of them a new set of clothes and a new pair of sandals, and if possible, buy each of them a sun hat as well.
Cheng Yang also promised to take them to the park to see animals today, so it shouldn't be time for them to come back now.
Cheng Yang didn't explain and said directly: "Well, I'm back. You want to go out, right? I'll accompany you."
Since her man was here, Shi Xiaoai certainly wouldn't refuse. She sat directly in the back seat of Cheng Yang's car.
Cheng Yang rode his bike and asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to ask District Chief Ou for support?"
"Yeah." Shi Xiaoai did not hide it.
Cheng Yang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Would District Chief Ou be willing? Do you want me to find someone else? If not, should I go to the Ministry of Armed Forces? In cases like this that endanger social security, the Ministry of Armed Forces should have the right to intervene."
"No, no, it's not a big deal. I'll just go talk to District Chief Ou. He'll definitely take care of it. He's counting on me to do my job. I can't let the horse run away without helping it solve its problem, right? Who would be motivated to work like that?"
Hearing her call herself Ma'er, Cheng Yang laughed.
Then he said, "Okay, then you try it first. If you really need it, don't force yourself. I should be able to take care of it by going for a run."
Shi Xiaoai nodded in agreement.
In fact, she was quite confident about this matter. After all, Shi Xiaoai had some foresight.
Although the most vigorous crackdown did not begin until 1982, in fact, all localities had received notices before that to crack down on various criminal activities.
As a second-tier city, although Yuncheng cannot compare with Beijing in being the first to grasp political developments, it must have received this kind of notice.
Today she deliberately asked Director Zheng some questions, and heard from Director Zheng his anger and dissatisfaction with Wu Qianjin causing trouble at this time.
If you add fuel to the fire at this time, this person will basically be finished.
Shi Xiaoai never had the intention to harm anyone, but she couldn't possibly be soft-hearted towards this kind of extremely evil scum!
She would not suggest Li Min to tell everyone that she was raped. Whether she was willing to sue Wu Qianjin about this matter depended on Li Min's decision.
After all, this era is still very unfair to women, and people still look at women with tinted glasses.
Shi Xiaoai will not use her own thoughts to demand others, because Li Min will have to bear the subsequent pressures by herself.
But no matter whether that incident was used as leverage or not, she would never let Wu Qianjin escape easily!
When Shi Xiaoai arrived at the district committee compound, it was almost time to get off work, and District Chief Ou had already come out with his bag, ready to go home.
District Chief Ou was very surprised to see her coming with Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang greeted District Chief Ou from a distance and did not come over. Shi Xiaoai ran to District Chief Ou alone.
He panted and said, "Oh, I finally made it."
District Director Ou immediately laughed and said, "Manager Shi, why are you here now? Shouldn't you be very busy these days? What big thing has happened?"
I've heard that your first branch will be opened on Qingyun Street and you're already looking for a storefront. That's pretty quick! "What's wrong? Are you having any trouble?"
Shi Xiaoai didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm really in trouble. I came here specifically to ask for your help, District Chief."
Hearing her say this, District Director Ou's face immediately turned serious, and he immediately said, "Let's go to the office to talk."
Shi Xiaoai and District Chief Ou reported the entire situation of the incident and also emphasized the possible adverse effects it might cause, especially the injustice to the female educated youth group and the hidden factors of instability.
She said, "Director Ou, please don't think I'm deliberately exaggerating this matter out of sympathy for our employees. In fact, domestic violence itself is a social cancer. Its hidden dangers may not be seen for a while, but once it breaks out, the consequences will become uncontrollable.
Just like Li Min's behavior yesterday, when she saw her daughter almost drowned, she immediately took out a knife and attacked Wu Qianjin. At that time, she was so angry that she didn't have time to think, and then the group of people snatched the knife away.
But what if Li Min had controlled her emotions, suppressed her hatred, and chosen a time when Wu Qianjin was off guard?
When a family lives together, there are always opportunities for mischief. If this is indeed the case, what kind of vicious incident would it become?
I am not just talking about Li Min's case. Domestic violence should be a common phenomenon in Yuncheng now.
It is so common that even the streets and the Women's Federation do not take it seriously. They just give routine dissuasion and do not give female comrades any say in the matter.
It is so difficult for educated youth, especially female educated youth, to return to the city!
In the past, many female comrades must have compromised in order to obtain the return to city indicator.
Their grievances are caused by society, not their own fault. Should they suffer such grievances for the rest of their lives?
And the rest of us can just watch numbly and do nothing?
And then wait until they can no longer bear it and finally explode, what will be the consequences? Who dares to imagine? "
When Shi Xiaoai started talking about Li Min, District Chief Ou did feel that she was making a big deal out of nothing.
He came here just before getting off work to talk about something as trivial as a quarrel between husband and wife.
As a result of her explanation, District Chief Ou realized that this matter must not be taken lightly and had to be put down lightly.
Although Shi Xiaoai was not a community cadre, her shop accepted educated youth, and two-thirds of them were female.
The key point is that all these educated youth are from various districts in the district.
This incident has already happened, and it has caused such a big fuss. If Wu Qianjin is not given a severe sentence, it will definitely discourage the female educated youth who are aware of the situation.
Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until the bad reputation of inaction and failure to speak up for female comrades gets out, and the district will definitely be the one to take the blame.
What’s more important is that if Wu Qianjin goes back, it will be hard to control what will happen between him and Li Min. If something happens again, the responsibility will be even greater!
District Chief Ou was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "I will personally inform the comrades in charge of security about this matter, and all those who committed the crime will be severely punished!"
Only then did Shi Xiaoai smile in relief.
But she didn't forget to add fuel to the fire, saying, "District Head Ou, I knew that this matter needed to be consulted with the leadership, and the leadership would definitely make the decision for us educated youth comrades.
But don't be too angry, there are two sides to every coin. If we can use this incident as a breakthrough to properly catch the hooligans, street thugs, and gamblers in our jurisdiction, then we can be at the forefront of the city in terms of maintaining public order.
A few days ago, I heard from a friend in Beijing that they have started to crack down on criminals. Has it started here too?
District Mayor Ou did receive such news, but because there were too many such routine notifications, he did not take it seriously and just issued it according to the procedure.
At this moment, Xiao Ai was shocked when he heard this.
Because no matter how low-key Cheng Yang is, his identity and family background are well-known in the area.
District Chief Ou didn’t know who the friend in Beijing that Shi Xiaoai mentioned was, but he felt that it might be a relatively powerful person.
If people like this say that we need to crack down severely, then we really need to think about this matter carefully.
So he nodded and said seriously, "It has begun. So you are right, this matter can indeed be used as a breakthrough.
We must not only deal with the Wu Qianjin case strictly and severely, but also publicize this incident as a typical case!
Let everyone learn from this and handle the same thing the next time you encounter a similar incident!"
With District Chief Ou's special emphasis, it would be difficult for Wu Qianjin to come out after entering the police station.
His parents originally wanted to make a fuss, but before they could start, they saw their two sons-in-law being arrested.
Wu Qianjin's mother wanted to find Shi Xiaoai and fight her to the death, but before she could take any action, two leaders from the police station came.
As soon as the two leaders entered the police station, they said that the branch wanted to interrogate Wu Qianjin and his accomplices, saying that the case was too serious and the police station could not handle it, so the branch took over.
Wu Qianjin's parents were confused and didn't understand what was going on. They saw their son, son-in-law, and a series of people being taken onto a truck brought by the police station and then taken away.
They were terrified and grabbed the police from the police station to inquire about the situation.
Then the police told them not to make trouble here, but to go to the district.
Their sons and sons-in-law have now become serious criminals and are being imprisoned in the police station’s prison.
A police officer advised them that they'd better stop making trouble and think about their son-in-law.
Everyone is equal before the law. I have never heard of anyone being exempted from legal responsibility because of their age.
Go ahead and make a fuss. If you continue, not only will your son be guilty of a more serious crime, but you will also be locked up. By then, your whole family will have to spend the New Year in prison!
These words made the old couple go home dejectedly, not daring to say anything.
The next day, Li Min went to the police station accompanied by comrades from the Women's Federation and met Wu Qianjin.
If Wu Qianjin didn't take this seriously yesterday, today he was basically scared to death.
He didn't even dare to scold Li Min anymore. As soon as they met, he cried and begged her to let him go for the sake of their marriage and to drop the case.
He also said that he would treat her like a slave for the rest of his life.
Li Min looked at his appearance and felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Because the incident between Li Min and Wu Qianjin caused such a big stir, the director of the street office where Li Min lived and the comrade in charge of the Women's Federation were summoned by district leaders last night and severely criticized!
Say they are doing nothing.
Only then did they realize that marital quarrels were also a source of social instability. They needed to intervene if they encountered wife-beating again! They also had to take the bastards to the police station!
In this situation, the street cadres who always like to smooth things over and persuade couples to reconcile rather than separate when encountering marital problems did not dare to persuade Li Min to swallow her anger this time.
The female comrade in charge of the Women's Federation did not wait for Li Min to speak, and directly handed Wu Qianjin the letter of introduction issued by the street agreeing to their divorce and asked him to sign it.
Wu Qianjin was now considering Li Min as his lifeline, so he definitely wouldn't sign! Li Min said, "Sign first, and I'll close the case after the divorce."
Wu Qianjin signed immediately.
The comrades from the Women's Federation took Li Min to the District Civil Affairs Bureau again.
The district committee worked overtime yesterday and called together all the district leaders for a meeting. Starting with this case, they discussed how to vigorously carry out a crackdown plan.
Therefore, every unit in the district is well aware of this matter.
When they saw that Li Min came to handle the divorce procedures accompanied by comrades from the Women's Federation, no one asked Wu Qianjin whether he agreed or not, and they directly issued the divorce certificate.
Their family has no property at all. The house they live in is a small room separated from the old house of the Wu family, so there is no issue of property distribution.
Xiaoru naturally belonged to Li Min.
After receiving the divorce certificate, Li Min knelt down in front of the counter and burst into tears.
She cried so hard that the people watching couldn't help but shed tears too.
Li Min cried for a long time, crying out all the depression in her heart.
Then she wiped her tears and said to the comrades from the Women's Federation, "I'm going to the Public Security Bureau to report Wu Qianjin for rape!"
