Chapter 95: I Think You’re Filthy
When Song Ping’s emotions stabilized, Song Chu carried her on her back.
“Sister Ping, Second Aunt and my mom are waiting outside. I’ll take you home.”
Song Ping lay on Song Chu’s back. Although her body wasn’t strong, it gave her an unusual sense of security.
“Okay, I’ll go home with you.” Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes again.
Song Chu carried Song Ping out of the room. Outside, the noise and shouting continued.
Upon seeing the two of them come out, everyone outside seemed to hit the pause button.
The Second Aunt saw her daughter’s appearance, and her eyes couldn’t help but redden. “Ping Ping, what happened to you?”
Song Ping saw her mother, tears blurring her vision, and her voice choked with grievance, “Mom, it hurts.”
Tang Feng saw that her niece had clearly been a victim of domestic violence. She rushed towards Li Dong, grabbed his collar, and slapped him twice.
“You bastard, when you married our Ping Ping, you spoke sweeter than a song. Now, is this how you treat her? I’ll beat you to death, you son of a bitch.”
The Second Aunt couldn’t hold back either. She rushed up, grabbed Li Dong’s clothes, and started hitting him wildly. “I’ll teach you to bully my daughter, you animal.”
Li Dong wasn’t drunk at this moment, and coupled with his guilt, he could only dodge the blows without fighting back.
His second brother saw this and cursed him for being a coward. He stepped forward, intending to pull Tang Feng and the others away.
Song Chu narrowed her eyes but didn’t step forward. She just glanced at Song Lao Er.
Song Lao Er’s survival instinct was stronger than usual. Although he was lazy, he couldn’t stand to see his mother being bullied.
So he rushed forward and pushed Li Lao Er away, saying fiercely, “What, you want to bully women now?”
Then he actively charged at Li Lao Er and started fighting him.
Don’t underestimate Song Lao Er. Although he liked to shirk work, he wasn’t a coward when it came to fighting. He and his opponent exchanged blows, getting into a brawl.
People from both villages continued to fight and curse, and the situation became increasingly chaotic.
Song Chu spoke up, “People of Shangba Village, are you all blind? My cousin was beaten like this by the Li family, and you still want to help the villains?”
The people of Shangba Village were stunned when they heard her. Then a woman said, “Since it’s a family matter, you should sit down and talk it out. You brought so many people here. We can’t let you bully people from our village.”
Song Chu sneered, “So Li Dong cheated with a widow and had a child, and you think it’s right for him to ask my cousin to raise it? Shouldn’t we, her family, come and question him?”
“If you were cheated on someday, would you just smile and accept it?” she retorted.
The woman choked, “How can you talk like that? It’s so unpleasant.”
“I’m just speaking the truth. Why is it considered excessive when it involves your own family?” Song Chu believed that it was normal for a village to be united, but it depended on the situation.
If a scumbag like Li Dong appeared in their village, they definitely wouldn’t help or protect him.
Although the people of Shangba Village also felt that the Li family had done wrong, he was still from their village and a relative of the accountant. They couldn’t just ignore it.
Li Mother was heartbroken to see her third brother’s son being beaten. She cried even harder, “Stop fighting. Let’s go inside and talk things out.”
Although many people in the village knew about this matter, she was afraid that something might happen if it was exposed like this. After all, having an affair could lead to public criticism.
Tang Feng heard this, let go of Li Dong, turned around, grabbed Li Mother’s hair, and slapped her twice as well.
“You shameless old woman, we have nothing to say to your family. Since you dared to bully my niece, be prepared for your son to go to jail.”
Her fighting ability was not to be underestimated. She directly stunned Li Mother.
“Ah, you’re bullying us. You’re really bullying us.”
Li Mother wanted to fight back, but she wasn’t as strong or fierce as Tang Feng. Her face was scratched several times, and her hair was pulled painfully. She could only howl.
Just then, a jeep drove into the village. Huo Kai, Gu Yue, and the two police officers from before got out of the car.
◈◈◈
Seeing the commotion, Liu Rong quickly ran over and shouted, “What are you doing? Stop it.”
The noisy and cursing crowd was startled and stopped what they were doing.
Gu Yue went to Song Chu’s side and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
“I’m not okay. I’ll need your cousin to take my cousin to the hospital later,” Song Chu replied.
She had met Gu Yue earlier and asked him to call his cousin from the commune, asking him to help report the case and come to Shangba Village as soon as possible.
Sure enough, he arrived just in time.
Gu Yue nodded. “Okay!”
Zhang Zhenxing and Liu Rong quickly separated the people from the two villages and began to inquire about what had happened.
Tang Feng and the others had no intention of covering up for the Li family. They told the whole truth.
The people of Shangba Village were hesitant, only saying that the Song family had come to make trouble and bully them, and they were just helping.
The Li family denied the affair with the widow and the child.
Song Chu said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. We believe the police officers will find out the truth and give my cousin justice.”
Zhang Zhenxing and the other officer looked at the woman on Song Chu’s back and couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy.
They walked over to Song Ping and asked, “You are the person involved. Tell us what happened.”
Li Mother immediately said, “This is just a small family matter. There’s no need to trouble the police officers.”
“Third daughter-in-law, you and Third Son still need to live together. Don’t act rashly over a couple’s quarrel. I’ll make Third Son apologize to you later.” She gave Song Ping a look, telling her not to say anything out of line.
Li Lao Er also pushed Li Dong. He immediately reacted and went up to Song Ping, pleading, “Ping Ping, it’s all my fault. Don’t be angry anymore. I’ll change whatever you say.”
Song Ping looked at them coldly. “There’s no need to change. I want a divorce. From now on, you can live with that widow. You have nothing to do with me anymore.”
“Comrade police officers, I want to accuse Li Dong of domestic violence and having an affair during our marriage. I want to divorce him,” she said firmly, taking a deep breath.
Her family and the villagers had come to support her. She also had to be strong and stand up for herself. Otherwise, no one could help her.
The domestic violence and Li Dong’s affair over the past year made her want to escape the Li family as soon as possible.
“What are you saying? Don’t talk nonsense.” Li Mother didn’t expect Song Ping to accuse her son and even want a divorce.
Li Dong also looked at Song Ping in disbelief, his heart aching. She actually wanted to treat him like this.
“Ping Ping, you were just angry, right?”
He hurried forward, looking at her pleadingly. “We are husband and wife. I won’t agree to a divorce. Don’t be angry anymore. It’s all my fault.”
“I was wrong. I’ll change, okay?”
He truly loved Song Ping and had never thought about divorcing her. So he couldn’t accept that she didn’t want him anymore and wanted to accuse him.
Song Ping bit her lip and looked at him directly. “No, you’ve said this many times before. I don’t believe you anymore.”
“And I think you’re filthy. I feel disgusted when I look at you. I will never live with you again,” she added.
