1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

183. Chapter 183 Domestic Violence

Li Duoyu dismantled the old bed, and then assembled the new bed in the bedroom.

The 1.8-meter-long bed was put down.

There was not much space left in the bedroom, and everything seemed very crowded.

After installing the new bed.

Li Duoyu lay down, it was not very hard, but not very soft. Although the palm shed mattress was not as comfortable as Simmons, it was breathable, warm in winter and cool in summer, and not easy to grow insects.

However, for Li Duoyu, after changing to this mattress, his knees were not so easily scratched.

And Xiao Tutu was also very satisfied with this new bed. He lay like a turtle and patted the mattress from time to time.

Aunt Chen Huiying is now responsible for taking care of him. In fact, compared with other children.

Xiao Tutu is very good.

Not only does he have a bottle, but he also has diapers, and someone is looking after him 24 hours a day.

There are many newborns in the village, and there is no such condition at all. Some parents have to support their families. If they can't take care of them, they can only put them on the bed. No matter how miserable they cry, no one cares.

Some tied their children on their backs to work together. The group of people weaving nets at the dock often carried their children on their backs while weaving nets.

Li Duoyu pinched little Tutu's face: "Uncle, you are already very happy, please stop crying?"

Li Duoyu pinched like this.

Little Tutu cried very hard.

Chen Huiying glared at him: "How can you coax a child like you? Hurry up and do your things. I will take care of the child."

"When I was a child, no one cared about me and my brother."

"Is it the same now?"

Chen Huiying quickly picked up Tutu and shook him from side to side: "Tutu, are you hungry?"

"Your mother will be back soon, don't cry."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch. It was past eleven o'clock. In elementary school, it seemed that the class ended at eleven thirty in the morning.

So Li Duoyu rode the 28-bar bicycle and went to the school.

This year, I have sailed more and ridden less bicycles. I am a little rusty, but fortunately it will not be like the first time.

I fell downhill directly.

When Li Duoyu rode to the school gate, the school bell just rang.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come out was not a student, but Principal Zhu of Dandan Island Primary School. He seemed a little anxious.

He walked in front.

The students behind him really didn't dare to pass him.

When Zhu Yuanzheng saw Li Duoyu, he hurriedly greeted him: "Director Li, why are you here? Are you here to pick up Xiaoying?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "You are so anxious, where are you going?"

Zhu Yuanzheng sighed: "Teacher Lin in our school is asking for a divorce, and Secretary Wang hopes that I will go over to do some ideological work for her."

Li Duoyu frowned.

This teacher Lin should be Lin Shanshan. Li Duoyu remembered that this woman was very patient. She didn't get divorced so quickly in her previous life.

How did it speed up in this life?

However, getting a divorce in the 1980s was not an easy thing. It might be the traditional thinking that was at work. Everyone regarded divorce as a bad thing.

First of all, your relatives, aunts and uncles, will take turns to talk to you.

Then, the unit leader will come to you to do ideological work, and finally the village women's director and village cadres will come to you for a talk.

At the end of the talk, some were successfully brainwashed, and some were tired of talking, so they gritted their teeth and continued to live.

After Principal Zhu left.

Xiaoying, wearing a white shirt and black pants, also hurried out of the school.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Zhou Xiaoying was very surprised, and then immediately asked: "Tutu, you didn't cry, did you?"

"No."

"It's good that you didn't cry."

Li Duoyu patted the back seat of the bicycle: "Come on, I'll take you home."

Zhou Xiaoying sat on it sideways, and then she found that Li Duoyu was not riding fast, and was crooked.

"Can you ride faster?"

Li Duoyu said embarrassedly: "I've been very hard."

"Forget it, I walk faster."

Li Duoyu was a little embarrassed. Because it hadn't been pumped for too long, and the road was full of sand, it was okay for one person to ride, but it seemed a bit difficult for two people to ride.

Zhou Xiaoying walked back home quickly.

Li Duoyu rode a bike and followed her. He was a little embarrassed, but he thought to himself, why not just buy a motorcycle.

But buying a motorcycle on the island is also stupid, because there are not many places to ride, and once you ride to the beach, it is easy to corrode and rust.

Because Zhou Xiaoying walked very quickly, she arrived home in about ten minutes.

Before entering the door, she heard the crying of little Tutu, with a distressed face. It was the first time she had been away from him for so long since the child was born.

"You cried so hard, and you said you didn't cry."

Li Duoyu said: "It's not normal for a child to cry. When you were here, you often cried."

Zhou Xiaoying walked into the house quickly, took Tutu from her mother, lifted her shirt, and fed her on the spot.

"Slow down, don't be anxious."

With the sound of clacking, the little kid stopped crying and making trouble instantly.

Seeing Xiaoying come back.

Chen Huiying also hurried to cook.

The previously orderly family became a little messy because Zhou Xiaoying suddenly went to teach.

Li Duoyu said: "Didn't you notice that a new bed was changed?"

After Li Duoyu's reminder.

Zhou Xiaoying realized it, but her face was full of worry, and she couldn't help but say:

"Duoyu, if you have time, go and see Shanshan. She is at Mrs. Wang's house now. She is so pitiful this time. She has refused to eat even a morsel of food since she was beaten yesterday."

Li Duoyu sighed: "I went to see it, is it useful?"

"I don't know if it's useful or not. Let's take a look. She often played with us when she was a child. Besides, during the time when I was raising children, she was always helping me teach."

"Okay, I'll go see her later."

Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "But if I go to see her, will I support her divorce or not?"

Li Duoyu asked.

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

Although she also hopes that Lin Shanshan can get rid of her bastard husband, in this era, divorce is very difficult, and most people encourage reconciliation rather than divorce.

"I don't know either."

After Li Duoyu finished lunch, he originally wanted to go to the women's director Liu Xiuzhu to ask about the situation.

But there seems to be no need to ask, who her husband Xiao Weidong is, Li Duoyu may know better than everyone else.

After all, in his previous life, he was a figure who dominated the news headlines in Xiasha Village all year round.

This guy would hit women every time he got drunk. After losing money in gambling, he would also hit women when his temper got angry.

At that time, Xiao Weidong's family was relatively wealthy because he had a relative who was doing business in Nanyang and would send them some foreign exchange every year.

With the overseas remittance coupons in hand, his family could afford to eat meat when other families were unable to eat meat. It was considered a relatively good life in the village.

When Lin Shanshan first became a teacher, there were many people chasing her, including Xiao Weidong. Lin Shanshan's family also liked this, so they agreed to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after getting married, Xiao Weidong showed his true nature, relying on having such a relative.

He doesn't do any work, he just idles around all day, and often plays cards and gambles.

In the past two years, I don't know what happened. His relative who was doing business overseas suddenly stopped sending money to his family.

The economy plummeted instantly.

The entire family relied solely on Lin Shanshan's salary. After becoming moneyless, Xiao Weidong not only failed to restrain himself, but also became more and more irritable, beating Lin Shanshan at every turn.

Whenever the two of them quarrel, Xiao Weidong will definitely say:

"It wasn't because of my family's money that you fell in love with me in the first place. Now that I have no money, why don't you look down on me?"

And the two of them are not in an arranged marriage, nor are they involved in human trafficking. They are husband and wife issues, and it is difficult for others to intervene.

Li Duoyu took two steps and arrived at Mrs. Wang's house. As soon as he arrived at the door of her house, he saw a stunned scene.

Lin Shanshan's husband, Xiao Weidong, knelt directly in front of Mrs. Wang's house, while his mother kept shouting:

"Shanshan, Weidong has been kneeling to you for so long, and he knows he was wrong. Just forgive him. He just drank too much last night. I promise he will never do it again next time."

After seeing Li Duoyu, Xiao Weidong's mother immediately came over and said:

"Village director, you have a better relationship with Shanshan. Go and persuade Shanshan. The child is still so young and cannot live without his mother."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, "How is my relationship with Shanshan so good?"

Li Duoyu glanced at this woman and said that the fact that Xiao Weidong, a giant baby, could become like this is inseparable from the doting of the woman in front of him.

What do you mean, just drank too much?

What do you mean, a child cannot live without a mother?

Li Duoyu walked into Mrs. Wang's house. Sure enough, half of the village cadres were here, and Principal Zhu who was in a hurry just now was also here.

Even Wang Dapao was there. Li Duoyu took a look at him and found that something was really wrong with him.

The one whose hands were shaking didn't look like he was pretending, and he started to stutter a little when he spoke. Could it be that this guy really had convulsions?

When the tearful Wang Po saw Li Duoyu, she quickly said: "Duoyu, please persuade Shanshan to let her eat something."

"Don't worry, I just came back from a meeting in the county. I want to understand the situation first."

Women's director Liu Xiuzhu said: "Let me speak on this matter."

After listening to Liu Xiuzhu's speech.

Li Duoyu roughly sorted out the whole story. Two days ago, Xiao Weidong went to the next town to gamble, lost all his money, and still owed a lot of money.

Then, once home.

I just wanted to sell the chickens, ducks and piglets raised by Lin Shanshan to pay off her gambling debts.

Lin Shanshan refused.

The two had a quarrel, so Xiao Weidong picked up the bench and threw it at Lin Shanshan, and also punched and kicked her.

Until the neighbors heard the screams,

This was stopped.

During this domestic violence, Lin Shanshan needed seven stitches on her head, one side of her face was swollen, and she had many bruises and abrasions on her body.

After Lin Shanshan went to the health station to get seven stitches, she packed her things overnight, took her children, and ran back to her parents' home, arguing for a divorce. (End of chapter)
