Chapter 30 You Can’t Save Me

After Ling Xiao changed Zhu Shan's medicine, she picked up the medicine box and checked it.

Zhu Shan put her legs on the sofa and squatted on the side. She looked at the medicine box and then at Ling Xiao, as if she wanted to get a definite answer from him.

She couldn't wait to get closer, "How is it?"

"Do you suspect that she is in the same situation as Wang Huili?" Ling Xiao raised his eyelids.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips unconfidently and looked away, "Do you think I'm making wild assumptions?"

Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan for two seconds, then returned to the medicine box and flipped through it, "You have always been very observant."

Do you agree with her guess?

Zhu Shan's eyelids trembled, and her little face came closer, "So what do you think? You have also seen Yang Mao learn from him. He is really good."

"Um."

Does this mean you agree with Yang Maoxue's character again?

Zhu Shan was depressed. Ling Xiao's ambiguous attitude was really annoying.

She grabbed the medicine box and went back to the room angrily.

After taking a few steps, Ling Xiao's cold voice came.

"return."

Zhu Shan paused for two seconds, then sat back obediently.

Ling Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out his cell phone and dialed a number, not forgetting to joke, "The problem with you is that you don't know much and don't think too much."

Zhu Shan hummed, turned her back, and turned her face to one side.

The call was dialed quickly, Ling Xiao pressed the speakerphone and placed the phone in the middle of the sofa.

He said, "Forensic Doctor Xu, are you free now? I have a question for you."

A young man's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "Are you free? Is there a case?"

Although Zhu Shan was carrying Ling Xiao on her back, she had silently moved her body back and pricked up her ears.

Ling Xiao looked at her back and smiled softly, "It's not a case, just ask... There is an anti-inflammatory drug called 'cefadroxil capsules'. If it is throat inflammation or rhinitis caused by a cold, can it be taken? "

Zhu Shan lowered her eyelids, she had never thought that this would be the case.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Zhu Shan turned around with a smile, lowered her body, and put her face closer to the phone.

Forensic Doctor Xu, "Colds are mostly caused by viral infections. Generally, acetaminophen is taken to reduce inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effect of trauma is to prevent infection, and beta-lactam antibiotics are generally chosen."

Zhu Shan's face was full of doubts, and she raised her little face to signal Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao sighed, "Forensic Doctor Xu, first control your awareness of popular science."

Forensic Doctor Xu laughed twice and said, "'Cefdroxil Capsules' are β-lactam antibiotics. Even if it is throat inflammation or rhinitis caused by a cold, you will not take this medicine, but if it is not caused by a cold, you will not take this medicine." Systemic infection is also possible, but we still need clinical examination to know."

"Okay, thank you."

"No, Ling Lu, why don't you just say thank you for coming to me so late?" Forensic Doctor Xu smiled brightly, "When are you going to go to the bar to relax together?"

"I don't go to that kind of place." Ling Xiao was not angry. Before Forensic Xu spoke again, he raised his hand and pointed at the phone screen, "Hang up."

He hung up the phone and raised his eyelids to look at Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan frowned, bit her lip, and touched her chin, "So..."

After pausing for a few seconds, she turned her gaze to Ling Xiao, her eyes brightening, "What do you think?"

Ling Xiao's eyelids drooped, his body leaned back, and his tone was very calm, "I'll look at the evidence."

"?"

"You are now..." Ling Xiao raised his eyes, "There is obviously insufficient evidence."

Indeed.

Ling Xiao stood up, "We're cooking, you wash the dishes today."

Zhu Shan raised her head and behaved when she got an advantage. She put her right hand next to her cheek and said "OK" obediently!

****

At work on Monday, Zhu Shan was cared for by her colleagues because of her injury, and a lot of snacks were placed on her desk.

When she was in college, Zhu Shan always kept to herself and was not close to her classmates.

After going to work, her first thought was that she had to integrate into the group, so she had to try her best to cooperate with everyone.

But after getting along with each other, Zhu Shan found that it was much better than she imagined.

No one will ask too much about her past and privacy, because she is an adult, and there is a transparent line in the middle called propriety.

But everyone helped each other and showed their goodwill.

Zhu Shan ate the small cakes fed by her colleagues and compiled all Yang Maoxue's interviews. She planned to take a closer look when she had time.

In fact, more than anything, she wanted to break her own doubts.

On Tuesday, Xu Wenwen was going to the hospital to do a follow-up report on Wang Huili. Zhu Shan happened to be going to change the dressing on the injury on her forehead, so they went together.

Wang Huili's case attracted public attention, and the police quickly intervened. Soon Wang Huili's husband was arrested.

He confessed to what he had done.

Zhu Shan had seen the interview materials of Wang Huili's husband, and he said that he did not think this was a criminal act.

In the final analysis, he believed that Wang Huili was his wife and his property, so he could not disobey him.

Wang Huili's mood improved, and her parents came from their hometown to stay with her.

When Zhu Shan and Xu Wenwen entered the ward, Wang Huili was eating fruit, and the person sitting next to her should be her mother.

Wang Huili apologized immediately when she saw Zhu Shan. She had not forgotten her kick.

After the interview, Wang Huili took Zhu Shan's hand and thanked her seriously, "Thank you very much. If you hadn't hugged me at the last moment, my parents would have been so sad now, and I couldn't wait for that devil to be punished." Punishment, now I... really realize what you said, the world is still beautiful."

Zhu Shan's eyes became numb after being told that, and she almost cried.

Only now did she truly feel that she had indeed saved a life.

After Xu Wenwen finished the interview, he returned to the TV station.

After Zhu Shan changed her medicine, she took out her mobile phone and wrote in a notepad.

——Domestic violence never only refers to behavioral violence, but also includes restriction of freedom, verbal abuse and intimidation, as well as mental abuse, etc.

——A brave man is angry and draws his sword against the stronger; a timid man is angry and draws his sword against the weaker. Domestic abusers are cowards. Girls, please don’t act like a weakling.

——Society is progressing and the law is improving. All this is because there are always people in the corners you can’t see, and they are also trying their best to protect you.

...

Zhu Shan wrote nearly a thousand words in a short time, and she was really filled with emotions.

Later, considering the time limit, Zhu Shan deleted a lot more.

Perhaps it was because she saw Wang Huili's despairing eyes filled with stars, that she came to Yang Maoxue's community again.

Today is a work day, Yang Maoxue should not be here.

Zhu Shan did not go upstairs, but sat at the gate chatting with the old guard.

The uncle is very talkative and tells everything he knows at once.

He said that Fang Xinnuo came here right after graduating from college, and his Mandarin had a strong northern flavor, which was incompatible with Lao Yu and others in the community.

I have never met or heard of Fang Xinnuo’s family.

Fang Xinnuo worked for the first two years after coming here. Later, there was a time when she and Yang Maoxue had problems, but it didn't last long and the two were as close as before.

Hearing this, Zhu Shan spit out the melon seed shells and said, "Did they have a relationship problem at that time, or something?"

"How do we know this? It's all other people's housework." The old man looked like he had been there before, "But how can a couple not quarrel? Fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed."

Zhu Shan responded, "That's right."

The old man chatted some more. Zhu Shan didn't hear any useful information, so she clapped her hands and said she was going to play with Fang Xinnuo.

Zhu Shan stood at the door and knocked for a long time before hearing Fang Xinnuo's voice.

She asked softly and softly, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Shanshan."

It was quiet inside for a while. Fang Xinnuo opened the door and smiled lightly, "Maoxue didn't say you were coming today."

"Weren't you sick last time I came here? So I stopped by today to see you." Zhu Shan stood at the door, looked inside, and asked obediently, "Can I come in?"

Fang Xinnuo lowered his eyes and said softly, "Hmm."

The home is still quiet, neat and tidy, without a trace of clutter.

Even the books on the table were stacked like tofu cubes.

Zhu Shan pointed to the injury on her forehead, "Sister Xinnuo, do you know how I got injured here?"

"I don't know." Fang Xinnuo brought some water and asked cooperatively, "How did you get hurt?"

"Help!"

Zhu Shan sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to her.

Fang Xinnuo didn't know why, but still sat over.

Zhu Shan saw that she was a little defensive, and her suspicions became even more intense.

She took out her phone and opened Wang Huili's news.

The news lasted for twelve minutes, telling the story of Wang Huili’s experience from beginning to end.

Zhu Shan's eyes were not on the phone, but kept staring at Fang Xinnuo's face.

She looked calm, but Zhu Shan noticed that her eyelids trembled slightly when she heard Wang Huili's accusation on the rooftop, and her hands were clasped stiffly.

All her micro-expressions and movement ranges are so small that if Zhu Shan hadn't gone out of her way to capture them, she wouldn't have noticed them at all.

Zhu Shan suddenly had an uncomfortable thought, that is, Fang Xinnuo had suffered more and longer than Wang Huili.

That's why she can control her emotions like that.

After the news was played, Zhu Shan spoke calmly, "That man has been arrested now. The next step is to go through the procedures and wait for the verdict. He will receive the punishment he deserves. Wang Huili is free."

Fang Xinnuo still lowered his head.

Zhu Shan gritted her teeth, "I helped her."

Zhu Shan felt that she just had to say: As long as you ask, I am willing to help you.

But after she waited for nearly a minute, Fang Xinnuo didn't say anything.

But she didn't say anything, that is, she didn't deny it. Zhu Shan already had the answer in her heart.

She felt extremely distressed and grabbed Fang Xinnuo's hand, "Your blind forbearance will only make him treat you harder."

"..."

"Isn't it?" Zhu Shan gently shook her hand, "Don't you feel any pain?"

A tear slipped down and landed on the back of Zhu Shan's hand.

Fang Xinnuo said timidly, "It hurts, but...I can't help it..."

Zhu Shan clenched her hands tighter, "Just tell me, I'll find a way and I'll help you."

Fang Xinnuo lowered her voice, "My family values boys over girls. I have not been favored by my parents since I was a child. When I came to Yuhe with him, it was partly because I liked him, and partly because if I didn't go with him, my parents would sooner or later If you want to marry me to someone else, you say you are marrying me to someone else, but in fact you are selling me to someone else, and the money is called a bride price."

Zhu Shan felt even more sympathetic to Fang Xinnuo.

Fang Xinnuo continued, "When I came to Yuhe, I lost contact with my parents, so I had nowhere to go."

Zhu Shan's philosophy is that 'the world is big enough to accommodate her', so she thinks Fang Xinnuo's idea is cowardly, but she can't use this excuse to irritate Fang Xinnuo now.

Fang Xinnuo added, "At first, we had a good relationship. Later, he seemed to have misunderstood that I was having an affair with a colleague, so he wouldn't let me go to work. Later, he started to control my freedom."

Zhu Shan, "This is wrong. It is against the law. He has no right to do this."

"I also resisted, but I couldn't run away. I had no money and no place to go. If he caught me, he would...he would..."

"Hit you? Why didn't you call the police?"

"He didn't hit me." Fang Xinnuo raised his head, his eyes a little red, "He...he..."

"What?" Zhu Shan was confused.

Fang Xinnuo was a little speechless, so she leaned close to Zhu Shan's ear and whispered.

Zhu Shan's face immediately turned red, like a cooked shrimp.

But she quickly calmed down and asked, "So you're embarrassed to call the police?"

"Can you guarantee that I can convict him if I call the police? If not, I will die."

"What?"

"Usually when I make him angry, he just tortures me in that way, but if I file for divorce or call the police..."

"What will happen?"

"That was many years ago. I filed for divorce from him. He wrapped me in a sheet and threw me into the bathtub. I really almost drowned. The feeling of suffocation was really scary. I was really scared. I'm scared, so I can only rely on him." Fang Xinnuo's eyes dimmed, "If I obey, he won't torture me."

"..."

"I've seen a lot of similar news. Women have been beaten to the hospital, and they can't be convicted, let alone my situation."

"The law is improving, you have to believe in the law, believe..."

"Can you 100% guarantee that I can sue him?" Fang Xinnuo interrupted Zhu Shan and looked at Zhu Shan, "If I can get a divorce, why wouldn't I divorce him? If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do about it. .”

Zhu Shan can't guarantee it.

"And... he is a good person in everyone's eyes, and everyone will believe what he says." Fang Xinnuo raised his head with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Have you forgotten the good person you reported?"

Zhu Shan bit her lip and was speechless.

"You can't save me." Fang Xinnuo calmed down his emotions and softened his tone, "Your help is to tell me to be brave and help me with your words, but I will bear the consequences. Just think of me as a coward, I don't Dare to try to resist."

Zhu Shan, "Sister Xinnuo..."

"I can see that you are sincere. I have been alone for so many years, so I want to tell you. I hope you don't do anything. Maybe I can still live a good life."
