"No no no, don't tell the police!"
"We're Xu Guangzong's parents, Lin Xiu. We've come to apologize to you. Guangzong is young and doesn't know any better. How could he hit you just because of a momentary argument? It's his fault. We'll definitely teach him a good lesson when we get back!"
"Let auntie take a look. How's your injury? Where were you hurt?"
Yu Linxiu's eyelids twitched. She quickly stepped back and subconsciously looked at Hua Qingqing.
She didn't want to see the Xus or have any contact with them now.
Hua Qingqing had finally managed to stir things up to this point. How could she let these two ruin it?
Hua Qingqing stepped in front of Yu Linxiu. Her big, black - and - white eyes stared intently at the two people in front of her. These two were dressed like city folks. Having a son as old as Xu Guangzong, they were a bit younger than Yu Jianshan and Feng Xiang.
However, even though they were so desperately worried about their son in the police station at this moment, it couldn't hide the shrewdness and calculation in their eyes.
These two were definitely not good people.
Hua Qingqing immediately formed an opinion in her mind.
"Uncle and aunt, this wasn't just a momentary argument. Playing word games with us won't work! There are plenty of people in the cadre building area who know the truth, and the police also have records. Right and wrong have already been determined. Instead of going to see your son and thinking about how to atone for his sins, you come to pester the victim. Do you want your son's crime to be aggravated? Then your son might end up in jail for life!"
Hua Qingqing's small mouth rattled on non - stop.
The Xu couple was dizzy from listening, but they could tell that these people weren't going to let their son off easily!
Xu's mother's face changed instantly. She pointed at Hua Qingqing and angrily scolded, "Who do you think you are, daring to curse my son! If anything happens to my son, I won't let you off. I've been nice to you and you don't listen. Do you want to make everyone miserable?!"
Hua Qingqing opened her mouth and shouted, "Help! Someone's trying to kill us! Help!"
The Xu couple was stunned by her outburst.
This place was not far from the police station. As soon as Hua Qingqing shouted, someone immediately ran out.
When the Xu couple saw the uniformed police officer in front of them, their faces turned pale with fear.
Hua Qingqing said, "Uncle police officer, these two are the parents of the criminal Xu Guangzong. They won't let us leave and threatened that if we don't give up pursuing Xu Guangzong, they'll make our lives difficult!"
"Woohoo, we're just honest rural folks, poor peasants for three generations. How can we withstand their coercion? Is it really that hard to be a decent person? Why do some people always bully us honest folks? My sister is such a beautiful girl. She almost got disfigured from the beating. How is she going to get married in the future!"
The police officer had a square - faced and imposing manner. With just a glare, the Xus' legs went a bit weak.
"Both of you come in with me!"
Xu's father quickly waved his hand and said, "We didn't say anything. We just wanted to communicate about the subsequent compensation."
"I told you to come in. Don't talk so much nonsense. We'll investigate other things clearly. We don't need you to tell us."
Hua Qingqing took Yu Linxiu to the hospital. She saw the female doctor who had given her candy last time. Obviously, the doctor didn't remember her anymore. Hua Qingqing went straight over to strike up a conversation and in a few words, jogged the doctor's memory.
The doctor said, "Oh, I remember you. You've changed a lot. How's your wound healing?"
As she said this, she reached out to push aside Hua Qingqing's hair to take a look. Two months had passed, and the once - hideous wound had turned into a faint scar.
In these two months, Hua Qingqing had eaten well and lived decently. She had bought a lot of things to apply on her face, and finally, her sun - tanned face had regained its luster.
However, compared to her before, the change was really great.
Hua Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "Doctor sister, I've applied the medicine you prescribed seriously. Look how well the wound has healed."
The doctor couldn't help but laugh.
"Did you come here just for a follow - up?"
Hua Qingqing quickly shook her head and then pushed Yu Linxiu forward.
"Doctor, this is my cousin. Her fiancé beat her like this. I'd like you to take a look and write a medical certificate for her, in case that man comes to blame us later."
The doctor's expression became serious. She asked Hua Qingqing if they had reported it to the police.
"Yes, we just came from the police station."
The doctor didn't refuse. She carefully wrote a medical examination certificate and made an extra copy for them.
Hua Qingqing was so sweet - tongued that she said several nice words, which made the doctor grab another handful of candy and stuff it into her hand.
The two of them took the certificate back to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask for leave.
When the people in the supply and marketing cooperative saw Yu Linxiu beaten like this, they all advised her to take a few more days off to recuperate. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to attend to the customers in this state.
The sun was moving towards the west, and the sunlight became gentle.
Since Yu Linxiu was injured, Hua Qingqing let her sit in the back.
After a while, sobbing sounds came from behind.
Hua Qingqing said, "Cousin, why are you crying? This is a good thing. Fortunately, you saw his true colors before getting married. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get divorced after marriage."
It was obvious that Yu Linxiu wasn't a very brave person. She had a strong sense of responsibility and morality and was easily persuaded by a few words from her family. If no one pulled her, she would be like a person stepping into a swamp, struggling more and sinking deeper.
After a while, the sobbing gradually subsided.
"You're right. This is a good thing. Thank you, Qingqing. To be honest, if I had discovered this by myself, I might not have had the courage to bring it up."
Since Yu Linxiu could say this, it seemed that she had really figured it out.
Hua Qingqing said, "You're welcome. We're sisters. Of course I care about you. How could I let you fall into a pit?"
Hearing this, Yu Linxiu was filled with gratitude, but there was also a sense of melancholy. Qingqing cared about her so much, but when she got home and told her parents, how would they react?
Yu Linxiu didn't dare to think any further.
...
"What did you say? You want to break up with Xu Guangzong?!"
"Yu Linxiu, did you get your head knocked out by the beating? Don't you know how good Xu Guangzong's family conditions are? You just break up like that?"
"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You have a good fiancé, good - looking and from a good family, and you're pushing him away. Do you know how popular he is? Do you really think you're an angel and he has to be with you? I'm telling you, you'll go apologize to him tomorrow and coax him back! Otherwise, your father and I won't forgive you!"
Yu Linxiu's head was buzzing. She came back injured like this, but her parents didn't ask a few more questions. Instead, after hearing that she was going to break up with Xu Guangzong, their words were all about trying to keep him.
It was as if she, their daughter, was unimportant. The important one was this son - in - law.
This attitude couldn't be compared with Qingqing's.
Yu Linxiu's heart turned cold.
"Don't you even want to know where my injury came from? Don't you want to know why I'm breaking up with him?"
