Chapter 6 Saving the Abused Mother
Ye Xiaoli carried large and small bags, and held her skipping daughter Xiaoxiao's hand with one hand, smiling all the way back to the community.
As soon as I entered the building, I saw a police car and an ambulance parked downstairs.
Her heart skipped a beat. Had she been caught?
Just as she was thinking this, the elderly people who had gathered downstairs to watch the commotion also saw her.
Aunt Niu came over and grabbed Ye Xiaoli's arm, her eyes sparkling with gossip, and asked curiously:
"Oh, Xiaoli, you're finally back! Your husband called the police saying you broke his leg, is that true?"
Ye Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, she was still a step too late!
How did that scumbag manage to break free?
She pursed her lips and forced a smile:
"What are you saying? It's just a couple having a fight! Look at this bruise on my eye, he's the one who hit me!"
After saying that, she broke free from Aunt Niu and hurriedly pulled Xiaoxiao upstairs.
The neighbors behind him immediately started chattering amongst themselves.
"Oh my god, it really was her who did it. She's really a hidden talent."
"That woman is ruthless. How can she make money after beating a man like that?"
"Oh dear, what kind of talk is this? You're telling me it's good that you hit her? Why can men hit women, but women can't hit men?"
"Besides, that man is a domestic abuser. He beats his wife every day. You didn't see how badly she was beaten last time, but I saw it with my own eyes. Her face was covered in blood. I'd rather believe that man broke his own leg than believe..."
The murmurs of the crowd were shut out of the elevator doors. As the elevator ascended, Ye Xiaoli's heart pounded with anxiety, and she gripped her daughter's hand tightly.
Looking at her mother with slight worry, she comforted her:
"Mom isn't afraid, Dad deserves it."
"Yes, Mommy isn't afraid. Mommy still needs to protect Xiaoxiao!"
Ye Xiaoli felt a pang of tenderness in her heart, and she held her daughter's little hand tightly, inexplicably gaining more courage to face the police.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and in the corridor, medical staff carried Liu Wuyang out on a stretcher.
Inside the living room, police officers were taking photos and collecting evidence, accompanied by two community members.
"Officer, it's her! Arrest her! This bitch broke my leg! I'm going to sue her for murdering her husband..."
As soon as Liu Wuyang was lying on the stretcher, he saw Ye Xiaoli and shouted excitedly.
You bitch, you've finally met your match.
Ye Xiaoli's heart raced instantly. Although she had thought everything through, she was still nervous and scared when she actually faced it.
She glared at Liu Wuyang with hatred, her lips pressed tightly together, her heart filled with regret and resentment.
She regretted not tying the rope tightly enough and resented the abusive man for calling the police.
When they were beaten, they said that family scandals should not be aired in public.
When it was my turn, I immediately called the police.
"Auntie, what should we do? Will Mom get arrested?"
Xiao Xiao nervously gripped her mother's hand, and spoke to the system auntie with fear in her heart.
"No, your mother has been beaten multiple times, and the police have a record of it. They will side with your mother. At most, it will be considered mutual fighting, and they will just give her a reprimand and that will be the end of it."
Xiao Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this, but she was still very nervous. After all, it was the first time a child had faced the police, and it was already very brave of her not to be scared and cry.
She clenched her fists, raised her head to look at the tall, burly policeman, and pleaded in a childish voice:
"Uncle, don't arrest my mom! Mom is a good person, and Dad is a really bad guy. Just take him away!"
Ye Xiaoli: "......"
Liu Wuyang: "...You...Ye Xiaoli, I work hard to earn money to support my family, and look what you've done to the children!"
Ye Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.
The policeman smiled slightly and bent down to look at Xiaoxiao.
"Little friend, don't be afraid, uncle won't arrest people randomly."
The police officer comforted Xiaoxiao, then looked up at Ye Xiaoli with a complicated expression and said:
"Your husband has reported you for allegedly assaulting him, Ms. Ye. Please pack your things first, and we'll go to the hospital. Afterwards, please cooperate with the investigation."
This couple were frequent visitors to the police station; everyone there, from the station chief to the gatekeeper, knew them.
Usually, it's the woman who gets beaten up who calls the police, but today it was the woman who beat up the man and made him call the police.
It looks pretty serious; the leg is swollen and deformed, it's probably broken.
"Okay, I'll definitely cooperate. Officer Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Ye Xiaoli forced a smile, went inside to pack her things, and then took her daughter into the ambulance. A police car followed behind the ambulance to the hospital.
Inside the ambulance, paramedics are conducting initial checks and registration.
Ye Xiaoli sat expressionlessly to one side, while Xiao Xiao also looked seriously at her father lying on the stretcher, her little cheeks puffed out.
Aside from answering the doctor's questions, Liu Wuyang spent the rest of his time verbally abusing Ye Xiaoli.
"You bitch, just you wait, I'll show you what I'm made of..."
Ye Xiaoli looked down at her daughter and softly instructed her:
"Xiaoxiao, cover your ears and close your eyes."
Little Xiao looked up and saw her mother's serious expression, so she had no choice but to obediently cover her ears with her chubby little hands and close her eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoli could no longer hold back. Unfortunately, she had no tools at hand, so she had no choice but to swing her fist and smash it hard into Liu Wuyang's broken leg.
Liu Wuyang suddenly yelled and sat up, startling everyone in the car.
With a slight shudder, she opened her eyes and saw her father clutching his leg and howling. Medical staff came over, comforting her while re-attaching the splint to her calf.
Liu Wuyang gasped in pain and was about to start cursing when he saw Ye Xiaoli raise her fist threateningly again.
He had no choice but to shut his mouth tightly, glaring fiercely at Ye Xiaoli.
If looks could kill, Ye Xiaoli would have been killed a hundred times over.
The little girl watched this scene with sparkling eyes, thinking that her mother was amazing.
She wants to learn too.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Liu Wuyang was immediately taken for a CT scan through the emergency room entrance and then put on an IV drip. At this time, the police began taking his statement.
Finally, Officer Liu asked:
"Mr. Liu, do you accept mediation?"
"No, I will not accept mediation. I will make sure that the law punishes her severely."
Liu Wuyang glared fiercely at Ye Xiaoli and said through gritted teeth.
Officer Liu nodded noncommittally, then calmly said:
"Okay, if you don't accept mediation, our police will classify this incident as mutual assault."
"Why? I didn't even fight back. This bitch beat me up unilaterally. This is intentional assault, intentional assault! Don't you understand? How can you be a police officer?"
Liu Wuyang was unconvinced and angrily shouted back, his neck stiff.
Officer Liu remained expressionless, turning to look at Ye Xiaoli. He had noticed the marks on her face earlier and said:
"I suggest you also get a medical examination to assess your injuries. In short, the police's determination of this case will not change much. I still suggest that you two mediate."
"I accept the mediation. Thank you, Officer Liu."
For the first time, Ye Xiaoli sincerely thanked the police.
Liu Wuyang was unwilling to do it, and immediately widened his eyes and shouted:
"I don't accept this! This is a violation of the law! I refuse to accept it..."
"Mr. Liu, if you are not satisfied, you can file a complaint with my superior. Now please take a look at the case record. If you have no objections, please sign here."
Ye Xiaoli took it and saw that the record was filled with dense writing on an entire page.
In short, the husband, Liu Wuyang, got into a fight with his wife, Ms. Ye, after getting drunk over a trivial matter, which resulted in a fracture of his right lower leg, classified as a minor injury.
She picked up the pen and signed her name below with a smile.
“I will not accept this. I will make sure she is severely punished by law.”
Liu Wuyang pointed a trembling finger at Ye Xiaoli, who couldn't hide her smile, and roared angrily.
"Okay, according to the Public Security Regulations, Ms. Ye, you will be detained for ten days and fined 500 yuan. Please pack your personal belongings and report to the police station at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow."
"What? That's it? So light? My leg is broken, are you guys protecting her?"
Liu Wuyang's eyes widened, and he angrily questioned him.
“Mr. Liu, domestic violence is a private prosecution case, not a public prosecution. If you are not satisfied, you can sue Ms. Ye in the People’s Court.”
The police officer explained impatiently.
