Like Ma Suqin, both Liu Dakui and Ma Suqin are from the Northeast. Northeast is my country's heavy industry base. In terms of heavy industry, it is second to none in the country. In the early years, many large heavy industry factories such as Nanjing Machinery Factory and Tractor Factory started from the Northeast. I introduced a lot of them and came to Nanjing with my family elders.
The parents of Ma Suqin and Liu Dakui knew each other, and through the help of their elders, the two came together.
Before getting married, Liu Dakui performed well and was always attentive to Ma Suqin.
But after getting married, Ma Suqin discovered that her understanding of Liu Dakui was just the tip of the iceberg.
Liu Dakui, a tall and muscular man, has an impulsive and lazy temperament. He spends all his time delving into crooked ways and thinking about ways to make money without any effort.
You don't need any helpers to do any work at home. If it's just like this, then forget it. The key point is that Liu Dakui is not as smart as a needle. Whenever a man gets a little closer to Ma Suqin, he will put him on guard. It's like something.
What makes Ma Suqin even more intolerable is that she and Liu Dakui have been married for almost a year. In the first few months, Liu Dakui even took his salary from home several times. But since the beginning of this year, Liu Dakui not only has not taken his salary from home. , even every time Ma Suqin paid her salary, Liu Dakui would force her to go there, leaving only enough for Ma Suqin to live on for one month.
Whenever Ma Suqin heard half a step from Ma Suqin's mouth, what awaited Ma Suqin was bound to be a punch and a kick.
Being slapped is common, and being whipped with a belt is even more common.
Ma Suqin also tried to ask Liu Dakui what he was doing with so much money, but Liu Dakui never explained to her. Ma Suqin quietly inquired, but before she could find out anything, Liu Dakui punished her severely.
Ma Suqin wanted to cry, but her parents returned to their hometown in Northeast China last year. She was a woman with no relatives here, so who could make the decision for her?
Ma Suqin, who lost the tooth, could only endure the pain and swallow it in her stomach.
She dresses brightly in front of others, and is praised as the beauty of the machinery factory by her co-workers in the factory. But what kind of life she leads in private, only Ma Suqin herself knows.
Ma Suqin has a more traditional mind. Although she had some thoughts in her heart, she did not dare to divorce Liu Dakui because she was afraid that Liu Dakui would really beat her to death.
The way Liu Dakui looked when he was beating someone, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of evil, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. Ma Suqin is a little woman, not to mention that she has no power to tie a chicken with her hands, but how can she be like Liu Dakui, who is big and thick and powerful? opponent.
As for Ma Suqin's cruel decision to divorce Liu Dakui later, all she could think of was "a woman is weak, but a mother is strong".
"Sister Suqin!" Wang Zhong looked at Ma Suqin intently and said seriously: "If you really think about it, go find the director of our factory's Women's Federation!"
"Director of the Women's Federation?" Ma Suqin frowned and asked in confusion, "What's the point of looking for her?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Why is it useless? The establishment of the Women's Federation itself is to protect the rights and interests of women in our country. In a situation like yours, it is more effective to go to the Women's Federation than to go to the police or factory leaders."
"Is this...is this possible?" Ma Suqin looked at Wang Zhong with a worried look on her face.
Wang Zhong nodded solemnly and said: "Sister Suqin, this is a new society, and it is not the old feudal society. Many old and dross ideas left over from feudalism should have been thrown away long ago."
Ma Suqin's concern was simply that this was a family matter between her and Liu Dakui, and the Women's Federation could not interfere.
"Sister Suqin, I can tell you for sure that domestic violence like Liu Dakui's behavior is illegal, let alone the Women's Federation. Even if you report him directly to the Public Security Bureau, the police can detain him.
Moreover, our country now supports divorce, especially in a situation like yours, but the factory leaders probably don’t want to make a big deal out of it. After all, if something like this happened today, it will also have an impact on the reputation of our factory, but if there is a Women’s Federation It would be different if you have the help of the Women's Federation, and once the Women's Federation intervenes, you will be 100% certain that it will be done. "
Although the Women's Federation does not have any substantive rights, the influence of the Women's Federation must not be underestimated.
"Then what should I say?" The current Ma Suqin is still just a 21-year-old girl, not the later Master Ma who has experienced hundreds of battles, hardships and social beatings.
"By the way, are there any scars on your body?" Wang Zhong pinched his chin, pretending to be thoughtful, and asked after a moment.
Ma Suqin immediately lowered her head after hearing this.
Wang Zhong hurriedly explained: "I mean, if there are any scars left by Liu Dakui's beating on you, this is the most direct evidence. When you come to the director of the Women's Federation, you only need to tell the truth about your situation, and then show the injuries on your body." Showing it to her is more convincing than any words."
Ma Suqin's eyes flickered and she nodded: "Yes!"
"Last night he hit me on the back multiple times with a belt."
Wang Zhong's eyes flashed slightly, and he clenched his fists subconsciously, "Liu Dakui, this bastard..."
After cursing, Wang Zhong realized his gaffe, and immediately closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and exhaled two long turbid breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Sister Suqin! You are like this..." Wang Zhong took a step forward and whispered to Ma Suqin.
Ma Suqin felt trembling with fear after hearing this, the expressions on her face changed continuously, and the eyes flickered even more.
After Wang Zhong finished speaking and looked at herself, Ma Suqin asked anxiously: "Is this okay?"
"We'll find out if we give it a try!" Wang Zhong said: "Even if it doesn't work, can the ending be worse than it is now?"
Ma Suqin was stunned by Wang Zhong's words. Her beautiful eyes flashed and she blinked. Her thick black mascara trembled slightly. Under Wang Zhong's encouraging gaze, she clenched her silver teeth and clenched her hands. He raised his fist and mustered up the courage to say, "Then I'll give it a try."
At this moment, Ma Suqin's mood was destined to be unable to calm down.
Divorce was a word that was too far away for Ma Suqin. Before today, even though she was treated like that by Liu Dakui and subjected to domestic violence every three days, she had never thought of doing it.
But after what happened today, especially since Wang Zhong was just the younger brother of the same master as him, and they had known each other for only half a year, they were able to stand in front of him in critical moments and save him from the tiger's mouth.
The two of them usually have a good relationship. After this incident, the relationship between Ma Suqin and Wang Zhong naturally became a little closer. In Ma Suqin's heart, Wang Zhong is already closer and more reliable than his so-called friends. .
"Sister Suqin, you really impress me now!" Wang Zhong said bluntly.
"How do you say that?" Ma Suqin looked at Wang Zhong doubtfully and asked.
Wang Zhongdao: "Most women, when they encounter this kind of thing, choose to endure it. Some even dare not tell their family members, so they remain silent and endure the pain for the rest of their lives."
"There are not many women like you who dare to fight against fate and injustice."
Ma Suqin was a little surprised and couldn't understand Wang Zhong's brain circuit, why the topic changed so quickly as he talked.
But Wang Zhong's next words directly made her heart sink: "Sister Suqin, there is one more thing. Since you have decided to divorce, you must be prepared to have your reputation ruined by Liu Dakui."
"Destroy my reputation?" Ma Suqin immediately squeezed out the Chinese character Sichuan on her forehead.
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Although I have not had much contact with Liu Dakui, what I have heard from you, Sister Suqin, is enough to infer that he is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."
"This kind of person doesn't have any bottom line. If you file for divorce with him, if he holds a grudge, he might go around saying that you are out to attract bees and flirt with other people's dogs... ·”
Seeing that Ma Suqin's expression turned a bit ugly, Wang Zhong stopped speaking abruptly and said hurriedly: "Sister Suqin, I'm not saying that you are like this, I'm afraid that Liu Dakui will ruin your reputation outside..."
"I know!" Ma Suqin looked up at Wang Zhong again and said, "Then what should we do?"
Wang Zhongdao: "So we must be quick, we must fight quickly. As the old saying goes, if you kill a snake, you will be harmed by it. So Sister Suqin, you'd better take advantage of the fact that others are detained by the security team and go find them immediately." Director of the Women's Federation, tell the director the truth, and then do what I told you just now and crucify this matter directly. In this way, even if Liu Dakui is unwilling and wants to ruin your reputation, the Women's Federation will never do it. Sitting back and doing nothing.”
In these matters, in some respects, the role of the Factory Women's Federation is even greater than that of the director and secretary of Yuhong Machinery Factory.
"Then I'll go right now!" After thinking for a moment, under Wang Zhong's firm and encouraging gaze, Ma Suqin's eyes became more determined, and she put the medicine given by the doctor in the infirmary into Wang Zhong's hand and said: " You should hurry up and ask for leave from the director, go back and rest for two days, and then come back to work when you are sure everything is fine."
"It's just right. It can also avoid the limelight."
As she spoke, Ma Suqin's face showed a bit of guilt, and her bright eyes were filled with mist.
Why! Wang Zhong sighed in his heart: "Women! They are indeed emotional animals, and they are a little too easily moved."
But then I thought about it, this is good, it can be done in one step, and it can save me an unknown amount of time.
Speaking of which, Wang Zhong had to thank Liu Dakui. If it hadn't been for him, there wouldn't have been such an unexpected surprise.
After saying goodbye to Ma Suqin, Wang Zhong took the medicine and went to the workshop director, explaining that he was injured and wanted to take a few days off.
Although the workshop director did not see what happened at the factory gate this morning, he had already heard about it. He also went to the security department to verify it afterward. This matter also spread to the ears of the factory director and secretary.
A member of his own factory was beaten by an outsider at the gate of his own factory. Wasn't this putting Yuhong Machinery Factory's face on the ground and stepping on it?
Nowadays, the efficiency of the factory is mediocre, and when the factory leaders are irritable, they immediately call the director of the security department and give him a severe scolding. I, the workshop director, also did not escape. He was scolded with noses that are not noses and faces that are not faces. Had a meal.
"Wang Zhong, tell me clearly, what is going on?"
The workshop director asked with a straight face and an unkind expression.
"Director, I came to work in the morning and saw Sister Suqin being dragged by her husband and blocking the door of the factory. Sister Suqin looked reluctant. After all, Sister Suqin usually takes good care of me in the workshop, so I wanted to go there. Ask about the situation and see what the situation is. Who would have thought that Sister Suqin’s husband would attack me without saying a word after asking me my name. Sister Suqin tried to pull him away, but he immediately threw him away. I was even beaten. He punched me, and if there weren't a lot of people at the time, everyone helped to hold Sister Suqin and her husband down, I guess you would have had to go to the hospital to see me now!"
After listening to Wang Zhong's words, the workshop director's face brightened slightly. The director also knew that Wang Zhong was also one of the victims. Besides, no one in the workshop usually heard anything wrong between Wang Zhong and Ma Suqin.
The relationship between the two is also normal. When Wang Zhong was assigned to Master Wu, it was the workshop director who personally arranged it. Even Ma Suqin, the old people in the unified workshop, took more care of Wang Zhong at ordinary times. It was also the workshop director's original request. The people in the workshop do this.
"I heard someone said that it was Ma Suqin who sent you to the infirmary just now?" The workshop director's tone softened a lot.
"Yes, director, Sister Suqin also paid for the medical expenses." At that time, Ma Suqin rushed to pay the medical expenses, and Wang Zhong did not stop her.
"You didn't ask Ma Suqin what happened?"
"How could I not ask? I was beaten for no reason. I must find out the reason!"
"Hurry up!" The workshop director glared.
Wang Zhong shrank his head and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Yesterday, I saw the bruises on Sister Suqin's face. Thinking that Sister Suqin usually takes good care of me, I gave her a bottle to reduce swelling and relieve pain. A plaster that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. I want to thank Sister Suqin for taking care of me."
"I didn't expect that just because of this bottle of ointment, Sister Suqin would be severely beaten by her husband. He insisted that Sister Suqin was unclear about me. What does it have to do with it? Isn't this a slander of innocence out of thin air!"
Wang Zhong had an angry look on his face: "I am a grown man, and it doesn't matter if someone says a few words to me, but Sister Suqin is a woman, doesn't this ruin her clear statement!"
"The first thing I wanted to do was explain to Sister Suqin's husband, but before I could say anything, he took action. You know the rest."
Wang Zhong looked aggrieved.
"How come Ma Suqin still has such a husband? You are only sixteen years old and still a half-grown baby. How could he..." The workshop director was also speechless.
In their opinion, although Wang Zhong, who is over 1.7 meters tall, looks quite tall, he is not yet an adult. Everyone usually only regards Wang Zhong as a child. Moreover, the workshop director also investigated it just now. Normally Wang Zhong Zhong and Ma Suqin only had more contact with each other because of work. Moreover, the ointment Wang Zhong gave Ma Suqin yesterday was delivered in front of everyone in the workshop. Wang Zhong could see the injury on Ma Suqin's face. Of course, the co-workers can also see it.
Moreover, there was nothing wrong with Wang Zhong's words. Wang Zhong usually brought some fruits, snacks and other food to his master, Master Wu, and the workers in the same workshop, saying he wanted to thank everyone for taking care of them.
Besides, the plaster was not given secretly in private.
After being beaten for no reason and suffering an unreasonable disaster, the workshop director naturally turned towards Wang Zhong and felt angry in his heart: "Who is this Ma Suqin looking for?"
After complaining, he looked at Wang Zhong and asked with concern: "By the way, what did the doctor say? How is the injury?"
Wang Zhong forced a smile on his face: "Thank you, director, for your concern, but it still hurts a little. However, the doctor said that my body is strong and I can't see any major problems for the time being. It is recommended that I rest for two days and see how things go."
The workshop director nodded and said: "The doctor is right, this cannot be done carelessly. The work in the workshop is not light. In this way, you can go home and rest for two days, just to avoid the limelight and prevent Ma Suqin's husband from coming to the factory to trouble you again. "
"Thank you, director."
"Don't think too much." The director thought for a while and comforted Wang Zhong: "I don't blame you for this."
"I know."
Wang Zhong said: "Director, I will go back first."
"let's go!"
At the same time, outside the factory office building, Ma Suqin, dressed in blue overalls, was pacing back and forth outside the gate. From time to time, she raised her head and looked at the gate. Her young and pretty face was full of indecision and hesitation.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked in.
Arriving at the door of the Women's Federation director's office, the door was open. Standing at the door, you could see the Women's Federation director sitting behind the desk. Ma Suqin mustered up her courage, walked forward, and knocked on the door.
"Ma Suqin?" The director of the Women's Federation heard the knock on the door, looked up and recognized Ma Suqin.
Ma Suqin is the beauty of Yuhong Machinery Factory, but her reputation in the factory is pretty good. Although she is beautiful, she is considered clean and has no bad rumors with her male workers. At most, some female workers saw Ma Suqin being raped by men. The co-workers praised me, feeling a little envious and jealous, but it was just some harmless remarks.
"Director Li!" The director of the Women's Federation, whose surname is Li, is a woman in her forties and almost fifty. She worked as a nurse in a field hospital when she was young, and her husband is in the public security system.
"What's the matter with you?" asked the director of the Women's Federation. He had also heard about what happened this morning.
"Director, it's like this..." Ma Suqin followed Wang Zhong's instructions and told what happened between her and Liu Dakui. As she spoke, her tears fell down and she sobbed in a low voice. She closed the door, took off her clothes, and showed Director Li the injuries on her back.
Director Li became more and more angry as he listened, especially after seeing the bruises on Ma Suqin's back. He was so angry that he immediately slapped his penis and cursed at Liu Dakui.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"Director, what you hear is false and what you see is belief. Liu Dakui was stopped at the factory gate today. If he goes back, he will definitely do something to me..."
After listening to Ma Suqin's words, Director Li calmed down and looked at Ma Suqin with some surprise, then frowned, but nodded: "You are right, hearing is false, seeing is believing, everything must be based on evidence, I will call the comrades from the police when the time comes, and if Liu Dakui really attacks you, we will break down the door and go in to rescue you, and we will see how he makes excuses."
"Thank you, director, thank you, director!" Ma Suqin thanked her repeatedly.
Director Li said that this was all within the responsibility of the Women's Federation.
······
"Brother-in-law?" Erqiang, who was feeding the chickens, was somewhat surprised when he saw Wang Zhong coming back. He was also holding a small bowl with rice in his hand. The rice in it was the dry food for the three reeds in the cage.
"I have to go out for something, so I asked for leave from the factory." In fact, the main reason was that Ma Suqin was too worried and forced Wang Zhong to go home to rest and wait until he was sure everything was fine before going to work.
How could you say words of rejection to a pretty lady with pear blossoms and rain in her eyes?
"Why are you the only one? Where are Yichen, Sanli and Simei?"
"The eldest brother is taking the two of them out." Er Qiang looked at the large oil paper bag in Wang Zhong's hand, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Although they still didn’t know what was inside, but with Wang Zhong’s temperament, as long as it was food, no matter what it was, the four brothers and sisters would be able to share it in the end.
"Are you greedy?" Er Qiang is a child with a straightforward temper and no sense of authority. Whatever is on his mind is written on his face, and you can tell it by just looking at him without guessing.
"Yeah, yeah!" Erqiang nodded immediately.
"Uncle, what did you buy?" Erqiang asked curiously and expectantly.
Wang Zhong raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile: "Taosu!"
The second strongman immediately forgot about the reed flowers in the cage and ran to Wang Zhong in a very dog-like manner. He licked his smile and shouted: "Brother-in-law!"
"Come on, come on!" Wang Zhong quickly retreated and distanced himself, "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you!"
"Go wash your hands quickly."
"Thank you, uncle!" Erqiang ran to the faucet in a hurry. Wang Zhong had no other requirements for the Qiao brothers and sisters. He only asked them to wash their hands frequently, especially before meals and after going to the toilet. Wang Zhong got off directly. After receiving the order to die, he would not be given food if he did not wash his hands.
Although the family doesn't eat meat every day, they can't help but think that Wang Zhong's cooking skills are so good that they can't be compared to a dabbler like Yicheng who only learned from his mother for a while.
After the brothers and sisters tasted Wang Zhong's cooking, they realized that the dishes that Yicheng had cooked before were even a bit unsightly.
After entering the room, Erqiang quickly walked to the table and stared at the oil paper bag on the table without moving for a moment.
Wang Zhong opened the oil paper bag, took out a piece, and handed it to the second strongman.
"Thank you, uncle!" Although there was only one piece, Erqiang still had a bright smile on his face.
"You can only eat three pieces a day."
"I'll give you a piece first, and I'll give you the rest after Yi Cheng and Sanli Simei come back, so that you don't get greedy at them."
There are actually a lot of peach cakes, but Erqiang is so greedy that he doesn't know how to restrain himself when eating. Moreover, children of their age cannot eat too many sweets, otherwise they will easily get tooth decay.
Erqiang held the peach cake in one hand, and raised the other hand to put it under his mouth. The palms of his hands were closed and sunk slightly. Every time he took a bite, it was only a small bite.
Especially the look of enjoyment on his face, as if he was eating some exquisite delicacy that is rare in heaven and rare on earth.
Living expenses of five yuan per person per month include clothing, shoes and socks for several children, snacks and money for schooling.
Someone helped him raise his son, and Qiao Zuwang was now completely free and unrestrained. Yicheng, Erqiang, and the others had not seen Qiao Zuwang for four or five days in a row.
At night, Yi Cheng and his younger brothers and sisters went to bed. Qiao Zuwang was still outside playing mahjong with Li Heman and the others. When Yi Cheng and the others went out during the day, Qiao Zuwang still hadn't gotten up.
Especially now that it's summer vacation, Yi Cheng doesn't have to go to school. He leads Er Qiang and Wang Zhong to tinker with the vegetables in the yard, take care of three reed chickens and two puppies, clean and tidy up the house, basically He spent more time at Wang Zhong's house than at his own home.
······
Early the next morning, at dawn, Yizheng led Er Qiang and the others to Wang Zhong's house. The four of them were all wearing Wang Zhong's custom-made long-sleeved tops and loose and breathable sports pants.
"Stand at attention!" Wang Zhong put his hands behind his back and kept a straight face, looking like a cold-faced instructor.
"Take a break!"
"Spread out at arm's length from left to right."
Four dolls stood in a row, almost filling the small patio in front of the house.
Wang Zhong led the four children to move their limbs and joints in the courtyard. Five minutes later, he took the lead and led the four children to run outside.
After running from home to the city tower for fifteen minutes, Sanli and Simei were already dead. Running became walking. The top two also gave up their game in ten minutes, leaving only The next ten percent insisted on running the entire distance.
"Today, my uncle will teach you a set of eight sections of Jin to preserve your health."
"Stand still, follow me."
Wang Zhong was also wearing white training clothes. He stood in front of the Fourth Elementary School, chanting the formula in his mouth and making movements with his hands.
"Both hands hold the three energizers of heavenly principles, and the bows are drawn left and right as if shooting..."
