Chapter 500, Section 07: Abuse
Hu Pingtao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his chin. He didn't bother to ask both parties as usual. He raised his hand and pointed at the closed window opposite, complaining repeatedly: "It's such a hot day, why don't you open the window? It's so painful."
Got it?"
Long Xu followed closely. He suddenly saw the air conditioner hanging on the diagonally opposite wall and said doubtfully: "You have an air conditioner at home! Why don't you turn it on? This room is as hot as a steamer. Can you stand it?"
It would have been better not to say this. As soon as he said it, the young woman sitting on the chair burst into tears.
There was an old man sitting on the sofa. The old woman walked over and sat down side by side. It seemed that they were a couple. The two looked at the young woman coldly, with a straight face and said nothing.
The young man wearing glasses hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words of advice, but was pushed away by the woman. He stood there stunned for a few seconds, turned around and walked to the window to open it, then turned and ran into the kitchen.
When I came out, I had a remote control in my hand to turn on the air conditioner.
Feeling the chill gradually coming, Hu Pingtao wiped his sweat, walked slowly to the woman who was sobbing softly, and asked gently: "Did you call the police?"
The woman raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and nodded.
"Please show me your ID card." Hu Pingtao whispered softly: "What happened?"
The woman stood up from the chair, turned around and walked into the bedroom. Hu Pingtao noticed that her movements were extremely slow and she kept holding her stomach with her left hand. Especially when she stood up, her facial expression was somewhat painful.
When she came back, she already had an ID card in her hand.
"My name is Li Yanhui." The woman covered her abdomen with her hands and sat down slowly. Then she raised her finger and pointed at the young man standing diagonally opposite: "He is my husband, Li Xinyuan."
Hu Pingtao observed her movements and asked tentatively: "Are you still in confinement?"
Li Yanhui nodded sadly: "I just had a caesarean section last month, and it's now the third week."
Hu Pingtao asked with concern: "Where is the child?"
Li Yanhui sniffed hard and said with a strong nasal voice: "I developed jaundice a few days ago, and the doctor asked me to be hospitalized for observation. My father and mother are guarding me in the neonatal ward of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital."
At this point, Li Yanhui suddenly became excited. She raised her hand, pointed at the two old people sitting on the sofa opposite, and said through gritted teeth: "I want to sue them, they abused me."
Upon hearing this, the old woman couldn't sit still. She stood up from the sofa and glared at Li Yanhui: "You must have a basis for what you say! Don't just talk nonsense. How can I abuse you?"
Really? You can tell it with your own conscience. From the time you gave birth to your child until now, I have been taking care of you. You have been serving me every day, and you have been sleeping in bed all day long. I have been in charge of everything at home and outside your home.
Why are you still not satisfied?"
Li Yanhui's eyes flashed with anger. She stood up holding her abdomen, turned and walked towards the kitchen. Her husband Li Xinyuan quickly went over to help her, but she threw him away.
Half a minute later, Li Yanhui returned to the living room with two bowls of food in her hands.
She dropped the food bowl heavily on the table, making a loud noise.
One bowl contained most of the pork knuckle, and the other bowl contained mutton. The surface of the meat had turned black, and it could be seen that it had been left for a long time after being cooked. The gravy had condensed into lumps, and it had probably been kept in the refrigerator.
"Big fish and big meat?" Li Yanhui pointed to the bowl of mutton and said coldly to the old woman: "You cooked this two weeks ago. I said at that time: I just gave birth to a baby and I can't smell the smell.
For something heavy, don't stew the mutton. You can also cook a chicken or a fish. But I didn't listen, so I had to buy the mutton and cook it, which filled the house with a foul smell. I smelled it at the time.
Vomiting, let alone eating."
The old woman opened her mouth to retort angrily: "You know nothing! Mutton is very nourishing. It's good to eat it now."
"Then you eat it and show it to me!" Li Yanhui knew that she couldn't be too excited, otherwise the sutures on her stomach might be torn apart. She suppressed her anger: "After the mutton is cooked, you two
Lao Za... you don't even touch it, but you force me to eat it, how can this be reasonable?"
Hu Pingtao listened a little confused and asked puzzledly: "Eating mutton during confinement is nothing!"
Li Yanhui shook her head and explained: "Officer, you don't know, these two old guys... they are really bad. I gave birth to a son, and they only want the good of the child. They don't even care about me as a daughter-in-law, and they don't even regard me as a human being."
.”
"Ever since I came back from the hospital, they haven't put salt in anything they've given me."
"What did you say?" Long Xu opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "No salt?"
Li Yanhui's face was full of sadness: "Not only was there no salt, but there was also no seasoning. It was just a bowl of boiled mutton... Tell me, this is not intentional to prevent people from eating it!"
"What do you know!" The old man sitting on the sofa stood up and shouted, "Young people don't know what to do. Women who are in confinement cannot touch salt."
The old woman also helped: "If you eat salt during confinement, you will not produce milk, and your baby will not grow strong without milk. I am doing this for your own good."
Li Yanhui stared at the old woman coldly: "So you deliberately cooked mutton for me? No salt in all the dishes?"
The old woman put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "That is the grandson of my Li family. I must take good care of him."
Li Yanhui pointed to the two bowls of meat on the table: "Then you eat it! You can eat it for me now. I'll see if you can eat it."
The old woman glared: "That's for you to eat."
Hu Pingtao couldn't stand listening anymore. He said seriously to the old woman: "There is no salt or condiments in this meat. It's just boiled in water. No one can eat it!"
The old woman said angrily: "She is my daughter-in-law, she can do whatever I say."
Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Then you can show me what you eat. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't you understand this?"
"Also, I've been looking at this meat for a long time, and the surface has turned black. Can I still eat it?"
With that said, Hu Pingtao turned to Li Yanhui and asked: "You called the police today, maybe it wasn't about the meat issue, right?"
Li Yanhui took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling, and couldn't help but shed tears again: "I've really had enough."
"I had a caesarean section and my recovery was very slow. The incision was excruciatingly painful. The doctor said it was related to my physical constitution. I took maternity leave to rest at home and sleep more in the morning. These two old men couldn't stand it. From six o'clock onwards,
From now on, the door will open every half hour."
The old woman screamed: "What's wrong with me holding your door open? Are you okay with sleeping in so early in the morning? When I was in the village, I had just given birth to a baby the day before and had to go to work in the fields the next day. You
Is it reasonable for a lazy woman to sleep until noon every day?"
Li Yanhui ignored her and continued to say to Hu Pingtao: "I slept until after ten o'clock this morning. I felt that the heat was unbearable, so I woke up. I looked up and looked at the thermometer hanging on the wall of the bedroom. It was almost forty degrees.
I quickly struggled to get up and open the window, and then went outside to take a look. The air conditioner was not turned on and I could not find the remote control."
"I had to pee urgently and wanted to go to the toilet first. As soon as I walked to the bathroom door, through the door, I heard this old woman hiding inside calling her son."
"She said that she should take advantage of the inconvenience for me to set rules and discipline me now. Otherwise, she will not be able to control me in the future, and it will never be his turn to have the final say in the family."
Hu Pingtao felt dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked: "Is this the true story?"
Li Yanhui nodded: "I had my mobile phone with me at the time and recorded everything. These old couple are not good people. They obviously don't want me to have a good life."
"I can never explain the truth to them... let's just say fruit! I said I want to eat fresh food. It's okay if it's a little more expensive. I work in a state-owned enterprise and my salary is nearly 20,000 yuan a month. My family only has enough for groceries.
They cost five thousand. I didn’t ask for expensive rare fruits, just
They were grapes, watermelons, pears, apples, etc. that were in season. But they wanted to buy the rotten ones, saying they were cheap, and deliberately put rotten fruits in my room to attract bugs. I threw them away, and they picked them back up while I was there.
If you don't pay attention, you will stuff it at the foot of the bed and the room will be filled with mosquitoes."
Cui Wen felt even more incredible: "Why?"
Li Yanhui said coldly: "They think that I have a high income in this family and I have the final say. So they deliberately punish me and make me obey their arrangements honestly."
As she said that, she pointed at her husband Li Xinyuan, who was standing in the corner, cowering and saying nothing, and cried: "Think about it with your own conscience, from falling in love to getting married, how have I ever failed you? You clearly know that I
You have conflicts with your parents. Every time we quarrel, you hide outside and wait until the storm calms down before coming back. Are you still a man?"
"When I was pregnant, you said you wanted your mother to take care of me. I said no at that time. It would be fine if I had my mother here. If that doesn't work, just find a nanny. But you can bring your parents over the next day.
, and also said that we are all a family, there is no need to spend extra money.”
"For your sake, I endured it."
"You say you work overtime at work every day, and you don't go home until dark every day. I don't understand. You are not a civil servant. You are just an ordinary business employee in the district agriculture and forestry bureau. How can you be so busy?"
"Public institutions are also busy. I have friends in the Greening Engineering Office, and others in the Airport Police Department. They don't have holidays during the holidays, and rarely take a break on weekends. But what are you busy with at the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau? I always
When you are on the phone, you are either in a meeting or writing a report. The public institution works from nine to five, and you have asked your colleagues in your unit. They usually get off work at five o'clock, and you are alone in the office. What do you want to do? "
"If you didn't like this family, why did you marry me then?"
"I know you don't want to come back and listen to me quarreling with your parents. You were not like this before. After you get married, you go home every day. Whoever comes back early will buy food and cook. Sometimes when you don't want to do it, you go outside.
Eat...since you know that I don’t have a good relationship with your parents, why did you bring them here?”
"It's okay now. The house is in a mess, and you don't want to get involved. You go out and hide under various excuses every day. You... who are you!"
As she said that, Li Yanhui didn't know where the strength came from. She quickly walked up to Li Xinyuan, grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard a few times: "Speak for yourself, who is right and who is wrong in this matter today? It's a hot day.
Your mother closed all the windows, turned off the air conditioner, and hid the remote control. Did you deliberately want to heat me to death?"
"And the meat." Li Yanhui dragged Li Xinyuan to the table: "I will let you try the mutton the same day it is cooked. Don't say you have eaten it. You can't stand it just by smelling it. Your mother will let you taste it."
What kind of peace of mind does she have when I eat something that no dog would touch?"
"Stick out your tongue and lick it, there's no salt in this pig's knuckle! I know this stuff produces milk, but who can eat it? You three of you, Lao Li, bully me, do you want me to die?"
"Explain to me again, what is pinching? What is rectification? What is setting rules for me? Li Xinyuan, let me tell you, I called the police, I also called my parents and my brother, they will wait a moment
That’s it, you must speak clearly to me today, otherwise I will never be done with you!”
Li Xinyuan lowered his head, clasped his hands in front of him, and said nothing.
He was originally an extremely honest person... no, he should be a cowardly person.
Hu Pingtao coughed lightly and said to Li Xinyuan: "I also think you have gone too far in this matter. This is your wife! And she just gave birth to a child. It is your own child, not an outsider. Originally it was a housework matter.
We police should not interfere. After all, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, but you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the scream of the old woman standing opposite.
"Get out, get out of here. Our Lao Li family doesn't want a wife like you."
Li Yanhui stared at the crazy old woman and said coldly: "This is what I want to say to you. Get out now, take your things and get out. This is my home."
The old woman looked furious: "In this family, my son has the final say."
"This is my house!" Li Yanhui covered her abdomen. Her voice was not high, but every word was clear: "My parents gave me this house, and their names are on the property certificate."
The old woman wanted to continue shouting, but she was stopped by the old man next to you. He stared at Li Yanhui with fierce eyes: "We tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen... In this case, you and my son will have no choice but to divorce."
Li Yanhui was not to be outdone: "Let's go, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today to go through the formalities. When my parents and my brother arrive, everyone will go together."
The old man's expression was grim: "This house is half owned by my son. If you want to get out, you have to get out."
Li Yanhui didn't understand what he meant at all and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?"
