"What practical benefits are there to subsidize the family? She earns so much money. You ask her how much she takes home? Doesn't it all subsidize her parents' family? She is out in the wild every day, not serving her mother-in-law, not serving her husband, and actually causing trouble outside. Man." Zhou Tianwang's mother raised her triangular eyes and said viciously, rolling her eyes at Zhang Qingxiang from time to time.
Zhang Qingxiang looked back and forth with a puzzled expression.
"You're talking nonsense." Chen Tian scolded angrily: "My sister just visited my dad a few more times and bought me a few plasters, but you guys just bite her and insist that she subsidizes her parents' family. Let me ask you. Son, where did he get the money for drinking and playing cards? Didn’t he steal it from my sister?"
"Why did my son steal his wife's money? Did he let her take the money to raise a wild man?" Zhou Tianwang's mother gave Zhang Qingxiang another look.
"Old cunning woman, you fart. My sister is innocent and has suffered in your family. You still slander her like this. I will kill you, old cunning woman." Chen Tian pretended to go up and beat someone.
Zhou Tianlei grabbed him: "It's important to find your sister."
At this time, some rustling sounds came from the woodshed to the east.
Zhou Tianlei gave Chen Tian and Zhou He a hint of color.
They understood the situation and ran towards the woodshed.
When Zhou Tianwang saw this, he shouted: "What are you doing?" and wanted to step forward to stop him.
Zhou Tianlei blocked his way with a lunge. He stretched out his hand to push Zhou Tianlei, but Zhou Tianlei grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm and buckled him back.
Zhou Tianwang's arm was twisted so hard that he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. He heard Chen Tian's shrill cry from the woodshed: "Sister."
Cheng Xiang was startled and ran towards the woodshed. Zhou Tianlei frowned slightly and twisted Zhou Tianwang's arm forward to push him out. Zhou Tianwang stumbled and fell to the ground.
Zhou Tianlei spread his long legs and walked to the woodshed in three steps.
In the woodshed, Cheng Xiang opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth with a look of horror on his face. Even Zhou He and Zhang Qingxiang stood there dumbfounded.
On the ground, in Chen Tian's arms, Chen Jiao was completely unrecognizable, her head was bleeding, one eye was bruised and swollen with only a seam left.
His face was also swollen, and there were bloodstains hanging from the corners of his mouth. There was no sign of the past at all.
His feet were trapped, his hands were trapped in front of him, and he was dying in Chen Tian's arms.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Chen Tian cried and untied the rope from Chen Jiao's body.
Cheng Xiang squatted down slowly, carefully lifted Chen Jiao's loose hair, and shouted softly: "Sister Jiao."
Chen Jiao tried her best to open her eyes. The moment she saw Cheng Xiang, her lips trembled, tears poured out of her red and swollen eyes, and she made a whimpering sound in her throat.
On this hot summer night, Cheng Xiang suddenly felt cold all over his body and felt desolate inside.
She gritted her teeth and stood up, walked outside the house, stood in front of Zhou Tianwang, slapped him hard twice, and scolded him angrily: "Asshole."
Zhou Tianwang was stunned by the two slaps. After he realized what he was doing, he looked fierce and prepared to slap Cheng Xiang back in the face.
At that moment, Cheng Xiang looked at him steadily, showing no intention of hiding.
Zhou Tianwang suddenly met Zhou Tianlei's sharp, knife-like eyes behind Cheng Xiang. There was a fierceness in his eyes. He suddenly felt that the hair on his body stood on end and slowly lowered his hand.
Zhou Tianwang's mother, on the other hand, rushed over screaming: "You dare to hit my son? You bitch."
Cheng Xiang turned his head, raised his hand to block her outstretched arm, pushed her out with one force, and squatted on her butt. Zhou Tianwang's mother raised her head with an ouch, and when she saw Cheng Xiang's stern look, she immediately withered. , shrank his neck, with an expression like if you hit my son, don't hit me.
At this time Zhou He came out and asked softly in Zhou Tianlei's ear: "Brother Lei, what should I do?"
Zhou Tianlei said in a calm voice: "Go to town and let Lao Li bring people."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou He trotted out the door.
The yard had been in chaos for a while, which alarmed the neighbors, and many people gathered around to watch the fun.
"What's going on here?"
"Zhou Tianwang beat his wife again, and her mother-in-law came to the door and opened the door."
"Hey, I heard her wife screaming so loudly two days ago. This time she was beaten badly."
"Why didn't you come to persuade me?"
"Hey, who dares to persuade Zhou Tianwang, that bastard?"
"Chen Jiao has been making so much money recently, why is she still being beaten?"
"You can make money and not get beaten? Who's mother-in-law hasn't been beaten?"
........
Zhou Tianwang's mother sat on the ground, slapping her legs and crying: "What are you doing? You're kicking in doors and beating people. You're bullying people. Do you still have the law?"
"Wang Fa will be here in a moment. You won't be left without reason." Zhou Tianlei said coldly to Zhou Tianwang's mother, then walked to the woodshed and said to Chen Tian: "Xiaotian, help your sister to the room first, and wait. Let’s wait until the police arrive.”
"Yeah" Chen Tian wiped away his tears and helped Chen Jiao up. Zhang Qingxiang quickly went over to lend a hand and helped Chen Jiao to the bed in the room.
"Public security?" Upon hearing that the police were alarmed, Zhou Tianwang had a trace of panic on his face.
"What kind of public security? This is our family matter, why should the public security bureau get involved?" Zhou Tianwang's mother got up from the ground and shouted at Zhou Tianlei.
"You have caused serious personal injury to Chen Jiao, which is against the law. Of course, you must hand it over to the Public Security Bureau." Cheng Xiang raised his eyebrows and told Zhou Tianwang's mother viciously every word.
Zhou Tianwang's mother became a little timid towards this woman when she saw that she dared to slap her son in the face and pushed her too.
At this time, he looked at her with a vicious look in his eyes and muttered with a straight face: "It's our fault that the police are here. Who told her not to behave like a woman and go out to have sex with others?"
Cheng Xiang was furious when he heard such slander. He looked at Zhou Tianwang with a smile and said, "Who knows who is messing with others?"
Zhou Tianwang avoided Cheng Xiang's gaze with twinkling eyes and said nothing.
At this time, the police siren sounded outside, and everyone moved out of the way.
A police motorcycle parked at the entrance of the courtyard.
Lao Li, wearing a big-brimmed hat, led another police officer and Zhou He into the yard.
Seeing Zhou Tianlei, Lao Li walked over, handed him a cigarette and asked, "What's going on? Are you talking about a couple fighting?"
Zhou Tianlei held a cigarette in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's a bit serious."
In rural areas, it is not uncommon for men to beat their wives. If a man is angry and disobeys, he will be beaten to vent his anger. Women will be beaten. Some of them cry, and some of them swallow their anger and get over it.
I've never seen someone call the police for beating his wife.
Today, Zhou Tianlei sent someone to look for him, so Lao Li came with him. If it was normal, he would ask the village director to mediate and finish the matter.
Since it was a bit serious, Lao Li asked: "Where is the victim? Let's take a look."
"In the room, I'll take you there." Cheng Xiang stepped forward to talk and led Lao Li to the bedroom.
