Zhang Qing followed suit and also asked for a dowry of 60,000 yuan. It seems like he is setting an example for himself?

Ever since I asked for a dowry of 60,000 yuan, the other sisters in the family, including my son's, cousins, and sisters-in-law, all asked for the same standard. This really set a bad precedent.

The dishes for today's dinner were made by the future chef Liu Kai. The food was served, but the old man had not come back yet. My mother-in-law made several phone calls but no one answered.

As soon as Tangbao woke up, she wanted to drink milk. After Jiang Shuya finished feeding her, she saw that it was getting late and Liu Kai and the others had to go back, so she didn’t wait for them and ate together first. After the meal, she sent them to the door. The mother-in-law stuffed each of them with a red envelope, saying that it was a must when visiting for the first time. They did not refuse, after all, they came with gifts.

Zhang Qing turned around three times and said that she would come again next month to pick some grapes for people. Before her mother-in-law could say anything, Jiang Shuya took over and said:

"Don't worry, we have grapes and we will give you a reasonable price."

Zhang Qing smiled dumbly and nodded, "Okay." The mother-in-law glared at Jiang Shuya, handed Tang Bao in her arms to Shuya and said she was going to clean up the kitchen.

Seeing that it was not dark yet, Jiang Shuya carried Tang Bao to the grape field to take a walk and help digest the food.

There are not many weeds on the ground in the vineyard. The grape trees are lush and leafy. There is no fixed wire fence to be seen. Clusters of grape vines can be seen through the cracks in the door. The green and purple bunches of grapes are as crystal clear as emerald pearls and agates. They are growing particularly well and make people salivate.

I stood there for a while, but was afraid there might be bugs inside and it would be inconvenient to hold Tangbao in my arms, so I didn't open the door and go in.

I was walking along the riverside path aimlessly, holding some candy and digesting my food. I reached the end and was about to turn back.

I saw a man dragging a woman by the hair and pulling her at the door of a house without a courtyard wall. The woman screamed in pain.

Some of the neighbors were eating at home, while others were busy working in the fields. There were no people watching the fun. Several frightened children stood there, and a boy was crying with red eyes. The woman helped him to the ground, but the man did not seem satisfied. He punched and kicked her again. Blood came out of the woman's mouth and nostrils.

Seeing that someone was about to die, Jiang Shuya stepped forward, picked up a stick from the firewood pile, pointed it at the man and said, "If you don't stop, I'll call the police."

The man saw Shuya still holding the child and yelled, "Stop meddling in my family's affairs and get out of here."

The woman was shouting for help and sobbing in pain.

Shuya picked up the phone and dialed 110. "Hello, is this Jiangzhou Police Station? ... This is Xixia Village. There is a fight in House 211. Come quickly. Someone is about to be beaten to death."

When the man saw Jiang Shuya really called, he rushed towards her with a face full of anger, swearing and pointing at her. Shuya clenched the stick in her hand and stepped back a few steps. Suddenly, the crying boy hugged his legs and murmured, "Dad! Please save mom! She's dying. You're going to beat her to death!"

The man kicked the boy away, picked up a stick from the firewood pile, and hit Jiang Shuya randomly. Jiang Shuya subconsciously protected Tang Bao in her arms. When she was about to be unable to resist, she turned her back. A woman holding a child was no match for a man. The stick hit Jiang Shuya on the back, and she almost fainted from the pain.

Tang Bao burst into tears and saw that the man was about to attack her again. At this time, the neighbor Uncle Pan ran out and pulled the man over.

Uncle Pan pushed the man and cursed, "You are f*cking crazy. You are going to die. You dare to hit anyone. You hit the Huang family's wife today. Do you think Haohao will punish you when he comes back?"

It implies that Huang Minghao is the best fighter on Zhou Island. Uncle Pan saw with his own eyes how ruthless he was, beating his cousin Huang Tao to death.

Only then did people come over in groups of three or four to watch. They saw Wang Hongjuan also coming over. With a pair of curious eyes, she was holding a bundle of freshly picked grape branches in her hands. She walked up to Shuya and asked what had happened.

At this time, no one was paying attention to the conversation between Shuya and Wang Hongjuan. They were all looking at the woman who was beaten to death. There was blood all over her body and the ground, and she seemed to have fainted. Some people shouted to call 120 for an ambulance, while others suggested sending her directly to the hospital. The woman could only lie on the ground with her body bent, unable to get up.

At this time, two 110 ambulances drove to the door, and several public security policemen walked over majestically and asked what happened. One asked, one took notes, and the other two looked at the woman's injuries. After one look, the two nervously lifted the woman and put her in the car. One of the policemen told the other two that saving people was the most important thing first. The two drove the woman directly to the hospital, and then the boy got in the car.

The police officer who was questioning walked up to the man and gave him a verbal lecture. The person who was taking notes asked, "Who called the police just now?"

Jiang Shuya stepped over the stick on the ground and walked over: "It's me."

The policeman came over and said seriously: "Do you know why the fight happened?" Jiang Shuya shook her head.

The police officer who was taking notes asked for Jiang Shuya's ID card and other questions such as her relationship with the people involved in the fight.

Jiang Shuya told the truth about what she saw and also told about the beating she had suffered.

The police officer who was taking notes nodded and praised, "You did a great job. You are very courageous and a good citizen."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and two policemen took the man to the police car. The police car passed through the crowd and drove away quickly.

Uncle Pan came over and said, "You are Huang Guohua's daughter-in-law, right?... Hey! Fighting between her and her husband is common. We would have dealt with it long ago if we could. We are neighbors, and it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. Don't bother with this family next time."

Wang Hongjuan looked at Jiang Shuya and felt that what the neighbor said was right. She showed an expression of approval and indicated that she should not interfere in such matters in the future.

He pulled up the silent Jiang Shuya, thanked her, and walked back.

Along the way, I heard Wang Hongjuan say that the man in that family often stole things outside and did not do good things. He was in jail a few years ago and now likes to play slot machines. The woman is called Zhang Xiaohui. She has been married here for ten years. Her parents' home is also in another place, which is quite far away. It takes two days by train. No one knew how she was abducted by this man. Her son is 8 years old. The man is not home every day. Zhang Xiaohui usually takes care of the child alone. There are also several acres of grape fields at home. Zhang Xiaohui doesn't talk much to others. People at the door call her a taciturn person.

Jiang Shuya dug into the woman's memory. Zhang Xiaohui married here 10 years ago. After the demolition, she was allocated two houses (one of which belonged to her husband). One was big and the other was small. Before she could get the big one, her husband went to Macau to gamble and lost it.

If you sell your housing ticket before getting the house, you will become homeless.

Later, Zhang Xiaohui and her son lived in a small house.

The man came to make trouble every few days. Zhang Xiaohui was unwilling to be disturbed, so she mustered up the courage to divorce the man. However, the man was still like a scabby dog ​​and refused to repent. He made a scene at the door of the house and asked Xiaohui's father to sell the small house to help him pay off his debts. Zhang Xiaohui was miserable, so she sold the small house, arranged for her son to go to boarding school, and went to work in Jiangning Electronics Factory, with food and accommodation provided. She lived there and no one saw her since then.
