Liang Pandi was unwilling to give up. She had wanted to take revenge on Zeng Xiumei for many years. She was almost there, just a little bit!
Liang Pandi slapped Zeng Xiumei hard, but not feeling satisfied, she slapped her again with the backhand.
Zeng Xiumei whimpered in pain, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. Zeng Xiumei is 42 years old this year. For so many years, she has been arrogant both in her husband's family and her own family.
At her mother's house, her biggest worry was competing with her younger sister for her parents' attention and her brother's affection.
After getting married, what bothered her most was her good-looking sister-in-law with a good figure and her difficult and unreasonable mother-in-law. But fortunately, she was able to control Lu Chungang, and she also had the support of an older brother who was said to be her brother but was actually her lover.
She had a strong backbone and had hardly suffered any humiliation or hardship in her life since Lu Yinglan left, let alone a beating.
Zeng Xiumei finally realized how painful it was to be beaten. Before today, her favorite thing to do was to instigate Zeng Guoqing to beat people. It didn't matter who he beat, as long as he beat them, she would be happy to see others suffer.
She vented all the unpleasant experiences she had in the Lu family on this torturous pleasure.
Especially after she introduced those women who were close to her to her brother and abused them, the expressions of pain they showed after waking up really pleased her. She was almost pathological, deliberately approaching those women she disliked. Then when they trusted her, she sent them to Zeng Guoqing's bed.
The feeling was so refreshing that Zeng Xiumei was addicted. Even now, when her own daughter was molested by Zeng Guoqing, she didn't feel too angry. On her way to Zeng Guoqing, she even imagined what the Lu family's expressions would be when they found out about it.
A "slap" sound hit her face again, bringing Zeng Xiumei back from the mood of running away from home. It was Liu Hehua who hit her. Huang Xiaoju also hated Zeng Xiumei. She was also abused by Zeng Guoqing because she helped Zeng Xiumei.
She will never forget that day.
If Zeng Guoqing is a beast, then Zeng Xiumei is the ghost who is an accomplice to the beast.
Huang Xiaoju picked up a small blade from the wall, held it in her hand, and gently touched Zeng Xiumei's face.
Thin, small and dense blood beads instantly appeared on her face, and Zeng Xiumei only felt pain and itchiness.
Huang Xiaoju also wiped the other side of Zeng Xiumei's face: "Is it uncomfortable? This is a new way of torturing people that your brother came up with. Apart from me, you are the only one who has tried it. Do you feel comfortable?"
Zeng Guoqing had grown older, and his ability in that area had begun to decline, so he was no longer satisfied with physical stimulation and began to like mental stimulation.
The flesh under Huang Xiaoju's clothes was the whitest among all women. Zeng Guoqing used the method he had suddenly come up with on her. The dense wounds on Huang Xiaoju's body have not yet fully healed.
Zeng Xiumei felt itchy and painful, and wanted to reach out to scratch, but because her hands were tied, she couldn't. The more she want to scratch, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the urge to urinate surged up to her belly. Ah Fang stepped on her belly, just like when Zeng Xiumei asked Zeng Guoqing to step on her belly when she was pregnant.
A strong smell of urine filled the air. Ah Fang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Zeng Xiumei, you are such a coward. I thought you were really fearless."
After laughing, Ah Fang almost cried. Zeng Xiumei was so cowardly, but they were bullied by her for so many years. How cowardly were they?
When it comes down to it, they just can't let go because they have concerns from the past.
It turns out that what our ancestors said makes sense: the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, and the tough are afraid of the desperate.
In the past, they were weak, and did not even dare to resist when faced with the tough and domineering Zeng brothers and sisters. Now the roles have been reversed, and they have become the ones who are not afraid of death. Therefore, the tough and domineering Zeng brothers and sisters are afraid of them.
Huang Xiaoju felt more and more hateful the more she thought about it. She smeared Zeng Xiumei's face several times. Looking at the blood on Zeng Xiumei's face, she finally smiled.
Ah Fang said, "Do you regret it? You asked Zeng Guoqing to scratch my face. Look, this scar is really ugly. Now you are uglier than me. Are you happy? Hahaha."
Zeng Xiumei looked down on them and felt no guilt towards them. When she came back and knew who was called here, she would rush up to them like a mad dog and mock them from all sides.
Huang Xiaoju threw the blade behind the window. There was a stream behind the window, and the water would wash away the blood-stained blade.
A small razor like this one is light, thin and sharp. There is no possibility of it sinking to the bottom in the short term.
When Huang Xiaoju closed the window covered with spider webs, the police finally arrived.
Zeng Xiumei heard the sirens getting closer and closer, but she didn't feel happy that she was rescued. Instead, she felt despair. She would definitely not escape legal punishment for what she had done. Her son, the one who brought her honor and made her feel proud when she mentioned his name, was about to fall from the clouds.
The police and the emergency doctors arrived at the same time. The bloody body of Zeng Guoqing shocked the men present.
As men, they know how painful it is to get hurt in important parts of the body. Zeng Guoqing lost so much blood, I'm afraid his flesh must have been crushed? How much hatred must he have felt?
Zeng Xiumei, whose face was covered in blood, also won a lot of sympathy from the medical staff. However, that sympathy disappeared when she heard the accusations made by the "torturer" while she was being treated.
Especially the nurse who was cleaning the blood spots on her face, as she listened, she unconsciously increased the speed of her hands' movements, causing Zeng Xiumei to grimace in pain.
She couldn't help but ask, "Pretty girl, will there be a scar on my face?"
When Zeng Xiumei said this, her face was full of anticipation, and the nurse said expressionlessly: "Yes."
If it were someone else, this would definitely not happen, but if it were Zeng Xiumei, that would not be the case. As medical staff, they would definitely do their best, but whether the patient would listen to them or not depends on the patient themselves.
Zeng Guoqing was taken away under police escort, and Liang Pandi and several others were also taken into the police's car. Lin Shuyue and the other two, as eyewitnesses and participants to a certain extent, also had to follow to make statements.
Zeng Guoqing's wooden gun that he got from Zeng Xiuju was also taken away. It was a small hand-held wooden gun made in the United States. The crime of illegally possessing a wooden gun alone was enough to make Zeng Guoqing suffer.
After finishing her statement at the police station, Lu Yinglan was still a little dazed. She looked at the busy streets and said, "I originally thought that I was the most unfortunate person in the world. But after meeting Liang Pandi and the others, I realized that there are many more unfortunate people in this world than me."
The resentment in Lu Yinglan's heart had long since disappeared after hearing the stories told by Liang Pandi and the others. Compared to them, she was already very lucky.
She had the courage to jump out of the society at that time and escaped the clutches of Zeng Guoqing and his sister. Although her life was not so smooth afterwards, she had enough money to spend, and Feng Junpeng was very good to her no matter what.
Her daughter, Zeng Xiaoyi, was not raised by her side for a single day, but good things may come out of the bad ones. She has unexpectedly good character and is surprisingly upright.
She is content.
Lou Fengqin patted her hands and said, "It's best that you can think it through. Let's go home."
After so much trouble, it was already evening. Bai Wenhua had already made several phone calls. They had all returned home and the ingredients for hot pot were ready, waiting for them to return.
After the temperature dropped, the wind was a little chilly. When Lin Shuyue and the others returned home, the electric hot pot on the table in the living room was already filled with water, with longans, red dates and wolfberries floating on it.
The bowls and chopsticks were also set out, and in front of each person there was a bowl of dipping sauce with chopped chili peppers, coriander, green onions, peanut sauce, and peanut oil.
Lin Shuyue and the other two entered the house, and were greeted by Ah Yang's cheers. Zeng Xiaoyi and Bai Pingping were also unusually cheerful.
Lin Shuyue and the others had already washed their hands in the yard. She sat next to Bai Wenhua and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It wasn't long. Did everything go well today?" Bai Wenhua placed the chopsticks and dipping sauce in front of Lou Fengqin.
Lou Fengqin said, "Not sure." Lou Fengqin was also a little uncertain.
Her appearance actually aroused Bai Wenhua's curiosity. Lou Fengqin didn't know whether to say it or not. Lu Yinglan said beside her: "We found Xiaoyi's biological father."
Zeng Xiaoyi, who came in with rice, paused.
Lu Yinglan didn't want to hide it from Zeng Xiaoyi. She should have known it. "Your father is Zeng Guoqing. He and Zeng Xiumei have harmed many women. One of them is in the hospital and the other is in the police station. The one in the hospital will also have to go in after his injuries are healed."
Zeng Xiaoyi nodded without saying much. Her experience in the Internet addiction school gave her a natural understanding of Lu Yinglan.
Zeng Guoqing was very good to her, but this kind of kindness changed after she knew that he was the same person as before. Compared with what he did to Lu Yinglan and what they did to those women, his little bit of kindness was not worth mentioning.
After talking about Zeng Guoqing, out of consideration for Zeng Xiaoyi's feelings, no one talked too much about it and instead started eating.
Chicken is a famous variety in Guangdong. It is marinated with soy sauce, peanut oil and shredded ginger in advance. Put it in a pot of boiling water and cook for a while, then dip it in peanut oil and light soy sauce to preserve the freshness of the chicken to the greatest extent. The chicken is tender and melts in your mouth.
In addition, the mutton and beef were very tender, and the prawns were sweet. Bai Wenhua and Luo Zhengjun drank two bottles of beer. In the cold wind, everyone was sweating while eating the meal.
It is very hot in spring, summer and autumn in Guangdong Province, and very cold in winter. This kind of cold is different from the dry cold in the north. The cold in Guangdong Province seems to bring a hint of cool air. Even if the quilt is covered very thickly, the quilt that was just warm will become wet and cold as soon as it comes into contact with the cold air.
The next day, when she got up and washed up, the water was so cold that her hands were icy, and the cold air she breathed in made Lin Shuyue sneeze violently.
Lou Fengqin poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Come and have some ginger soup."
"Here I come." Lin Shuyue poured out the water in the cup, went to the bathroom to get warm water to wash her face, and when she came out dry, Lou Fengqin had already prepared the ginger soup.
Finely chopped ginger is rinsed and soaked in hot water, and brown sugar is added to it. It tastes sweet with a hint of spiciness. This is the drink that Lou Fengqin makes for her daughters every year when the weather gets cold to prevent colds.
Maybe it is of some use. Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuxing have rarely caught a cold in winter since they were young.
Without Lou Fengqin's urging, she drank the ginger soup in one gulp and then asked, "How was Xiaoyi's mood last night?"
Lou Fengqin was very worried that Zeng Xiaoyi would be affected by Zeng Guoqing's incident. After dinner last night, she had been thinking about her all the time. After Zeng Xiaoyi returned to her room, she followed her back.
Seeing her go in, Lin Shuyue did not go. She returned to her room and wrote the manuscript. After sending it to Huang Qiang, she could not stand the cold winter and went to bed.
It was morning after a good sleep.
"It's nothing. Xiaoyi is very open-minded about these things. No matter how good Zeng Guoqing is to her, he didn't support her for a day. At most, he just gave her some food and some things, just like sending away cats and dogs. How can it be that just because he is Xiaoyi's biological father, this kindness is upgraded?"
Lou Fengqin felt that Lu Yinglan and Zeng Xiaoyi, mother and daughter, really grew up in misery.
In the past, Lou Fengqin would complain about her miserable life, but now, she no longer feels that way. She stopped her hurried steps, walked slowly, and realized that all living beings suffer.
Lin Shuyue didn't say anything else, but she still decided to pick up Zeng Xiaoyi from school in the afternoon.
Lin Shuyue had breakfast and went back to her room to read the newspaper from the future on the bedside table.
The title of this newspaper is "Revenge from Women" and the article was published in April 2005.
The article is written in a flashback style. It begins with a man and a woman being found dead in the wilderness in winter, with many wounds on their bodies, especially the man, whose flesh had almost been removed.
Especially the thigh bone, which only had a few scattered pieces of flesh. The woman's body was slightly better, although her face was unrecognizable and there were many wounds on her body, at least her flesh was still hanging on her body.
The police took the discovery of this body before the Chinese New Year very seriously, as the method of committing the crime was so cruel and brutal. After more than ten days of investigation, they finally traced the bodies to Zeng Guoqing and Zeng Xiumei.
After confirming the victim's identities, the police checked their social relationships one by one. At that time, Liang Pandi had already gone north to the city where her son worked and lived.
When the police called to inquire, she expressed her deep sorrow for Zeng Guoqing's experience and answered the police's questions without leaving any holes. Because the relationship between the couple was really bad, and neighbors from the same village testified for them, Liang Pandi left because Zeng Guoqing beat her away. And when she left, many people saw her.
The police did not suspect her. Zeng Guoqing did not have a deep hatred with anyone in Zengwu Village. There were occasional minor frictions, but he was not suspected of committing a crime. The investigation reached a deadlock here. Zeng Xiumei's social relations were even simpler. She was an ordinary rural woman who rarely went out except to her parents' home.
Her relationship with her husband's family was relatively good and had not reached the point of vendetta. Her husband, Lu Chungang, was working away from home during the time when Zeng Xiumei was murdered, so he had 100% proof of his alibi.
The police searched day and night for a breakthrough in the case, but to no avail for several months.
It was not until February of the lunar calendar that female criminal police officer Ye, who came to investigate, saw Lu Aling playing on the roadside.
The first time, Officer Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Aling's vomiting. After all, everyone has gastrointestinal problems, and it's really torturous with vomiting and diarrhea. But when Officer Ye came the second time, she found that Lu Aling was still vomiting, and it was just dry heaving, and she couldn't vomit at all.
Now, Officer Ye felt something was wrong. After all, half a month had passed since she came here. No matter how serious the gastroenteritis was, it should have been cured.
Officer Ye took Lu Aling to see a doctor, and only then did she find out that Lu Aling was three months pregnant.
The whole Lu family was furious, especially Lu Dahai, who could not accept it. Lu Yinglan's pregnancy before marriage brought shame to them. After more than ten years, the villagers had forgotten about it. Lu Aling got pregnant before marriage again, and at such a young age.
He immediately ignored everything and grabbed Lu Aling and started beating her, while questioning her. Lu Aling cried and told her about how Zeng Guoqing raped her.
Zeng Guoqing raped her and she was very scared. She went home and told her mother Zeng Xiumei about it, but Zeng Xiumei ignored it. While crying, Lu Aling met Zeng Guozhu who was sent by Lu Ercai to deliver something to the Lu family.
Under Zeng Guozhu's coercion and intimidation, Lu Aling told Zeng Guoqing that she had been bullied by him. After Zeng Guozhu found out, he also assaulted Lu Aling.
Lu Dahai never dreamed that the person who abused Lu Aling was Zeng Guozhu, his second son-in-law! He was so angry that he fell to the ground, his eyes and mouth were crooked, and he couldn't even speak.
Lu Aling was terrified and told everything she knew, including the affair between Zeng Guoqing and Zeng Xiumei.
This was undoubtedly good news for the police who had been investigating for several months. They questioned Lu Aling in more detail. As a result, Zeng Xiu-ju, another person involved in the brother-sister incest, also came into the police's sight.
Before Lu Aling was ten years old, Zeng Xiumei thought that Lu Aling was still a child, so sometimes she did not avoid her when she had an affair with Zeng Guoqing. Sometimes when Zeng Xiujiu came back, the three of them would play together.
After hearing the news, they arrested Zeng Guozhu, who had raped a minor, and interrogated Zeng Xiuju, who had been in prison for many years.
Zeng Xiuju already knew that Zeng Xiumei and Zeng Guoqing had both died. When the police didn't find any clues, she didn't say a word. When the police found a loophole, she told them everything she knew.
Including Zeng Xiumei's "tributes" to Zeng Guoqing several times, including Zeng Xiuju and Zeng Xiumei drowning Liang Pandi's first child, and killing Yunhua together. Including how the five of them planned to ruin Lu Yinglan and let her marry Lu Yinglan.
Their statements shocked the experienced criminal police officers. After getting Zeng Xiujiu's confession, they split into several groups and captured Liang Pandi who was cooking for her son and Lu Yinglan who was sunbathing abroad.
None of the villagers, including Huang Xiaoju, Liu Hehua, etc., were left behind.
Except for Lu Yinglan and Liang Pandi, Liu Hehua and other three did not even leave the village.
The suspects were caught, and the case of the brother and sister dumping their bodies in the wilderness was solved. After being arrested, facing the police's questioning, Liang Pandi and others confessed to their crimes, and Lu Yinglan was also involved.
She was meticulous and she was the one who chose the place where the body was dumped. She was also the one who provided the first crime scene, which was in a bright house not far from Zengwu Village. This bright house had a basement, and the basement was where they sliced Zeng Guoqing's flesh and abused Zeng Xiumei.
After being arrested, they showed no remorse for what they had done, and in court, they did not ask for forgiveness from the families of Zeng Guoqing and Zeng Xiumei.
After much consideration, the procuratorate sentenced the main culprits Lu Yinglan and Liang Pandi to death with a two-year reprieve, and the other four to fixed-term imprisonment of ten to fifteen years.
The reporter interviewed the children of Liang Pandi and others.
Liang Pandi's son Zeng Xuyong expressed his understanding of Liang Pandi's choice. As Liang Pandi's son, he knew better than anyone what kind of life Liang Pandi led in the Zeng family. When Liang Pandi suddenly went north to find him, he already knew what happened to Zeng Guoqing.
The children of Liu Hehua and her friends were shocked that their mother, who usually accepted everything they did and never raised her head, had committed such a serious crime. Some of them could not accept it, but others also blamed themselves very much.
At the end of the video, there are individual interviews with Liang Pandi and others. They did not regret their choices, but Lu Yinglan asked the police to help her find her daughter who escaped from the Internet addiction school in 2004.
Lin Shuyue let go of the newspaper and it disappeared. Lin Shuyue felt like there was a huge rock blocking her heart, unable to get up or down.
[ Ding ~~~ Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden side quest "The Dedicated Women", assisting the police, solving this impending case within a case, and saving the lives of several women. ]
[ The lucky wheel has been activated, would you like to turn it on? ]
Lin Shuyue's gaze fell on the very familiar yet very unfamiliar big turntable on the screen in front of her. Last time, she turned on the big turntable and spun out the realm of reincarnation. She didn't know what would come out this time.
[ Turn it on. ] As soon as Lin Shuyue finished speaking, the turntable began to spin frantically. Twenty seconds later, the turntable stopped and the grid pointed by the pointer was revealed.
The words \"Thank you for your patronage\" appeared in front of Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue was still guessing a lot, but when the thank you for patronage came out, she was speechless. She never expected that the system would have such an empty prize!
Although Lin Shuyue can now participate in flash sales in the system mall every Thursday, she hasn't found anything good in a long time.
She didn't have high material desires. Now that she had a car and a house and was not short of money, she really didn't want anything. So her silence in 'thank you for your patronage' was only temporary. She packed up her things and went out.
Lin Shuyue did not report Zeng Guoqing's case. She knew that the case could not be concealed, but she did not want to be the one to report the news. Not only was Zeng Xiaoyi involved in the case, but also Liang Pandi, Liu Hehua, and Huang Xiaoju were also involved in the case. Their lives were already very difficult.
She didn't want to be the one adding stress to their lives.
Lin Shuyue didn't know if what she did was right or not, but at this moment, she followed her heart.
She wrote the case given to Huang Qiang last night, which was about the Vietnamese Wang Bingchang.
When she arrived at the newspaper office, she opened the local forum in Pengcheng and, as expected, it was already in an uproar with posts denouncing Wang Bingchang and the money-hungry Liuwu Village.
She had just opened the one that floated the highest, and before she had time to look at it, she was stopped by Wang Mingzheng.
Lin Shuyue originally thought that Wang Mingzheng would scold her, but unexpectedly Wang Mingzheng handed Lin Shuyue a stack of information.
"The mission given to us by the higher-ups is to stop reporting on certain cases and to tell our readers about the truth, kindness and beauty of our city of Pengcheng."
"This is the information about our Pengcheng Love Orphanage and Love Nursing Home. Take it back and read more about their deeds, then go to the original site to interview them and write a loving report."
Lin Shuyue took the information and asked in surprise, "Editor-in-chief, you're not going to reprimand me?"
Wang Mingzheng handled the documents without even looking up: "No matter what you do, our newspaper does not have any rigid requirements for reporters. We only seek truth from facts and freedom of speech."
"You chose not to report the case of Zeng Guoqing insulting a woman. It is your freedom. Although I don't know what you think, I respect you."
"And I received many calls from bosses in the same industry this morning. They all said thank you to Lin Ji for giving them a way to make a living and allowing them to occasionally enjoy a meal with explosive sales. They also said they would treat you to a meal." Wang Mingzheng laughed when he said this.
Lin Shuyue's heart was finally at ease and she smiled.
Wang Mingzheng saw her smile and waved at her: "Go and get to work. Look at the information carefully and write a loving and positive report."
Lin Shuyue felt okay after hearing the first half, but after hearing the second half, she thought about the accidents that had occurred wherever she went since the good and evil discrimination system awakened, and she was a little unsure whether this loving orphanage and loving nursing home were truly loving.
She asked cautiously, "Editor-in-chief, what if I go there and find that this loving orphanage and loving nursing home are not actually that loving?"
