A powerful country in scientific research

The next day, Su Ran did not go to the experimental field as usual after getting up. She planned to go to see her cousin Jiang Hongmian with her grandmother later. It happened that He Cheng did not need to pick her up, otherwise he would have made another wasted trip. Sister Zhang Xue and the others saw that she had not gone, so they should have guessed that something happened at home.

When Grandma Jiang heard her granddaughter say that she wanted to go with her to see Jiang Hongmian, she did not refuse. Her granddaughter meant well and she had no reason to refuse.

However, the grandparents and grandchildren did not go right after dinner. Grandma Jiang was afraid that if they went too early, Jiang Hongmian would not wake up yet. After all, she was a patient and needed more rest, so they decided to go later.

At around nine o'clock, Grandma Jiang saw that it was almost time and took Su Ran to Jiang Dawei's house.

When Grandpa Jiang and his team went to pick up people yesterday, many people in the team knew about it, so today many people who have a good relationship with Jiang Dawei's family came over with their things to take a look, but most of them needed to go to work, so they left at the appointed time.

When Grandma Jiang and Su Ran arrived, only Jiang Dawei and his wife, Jiang Hongmian and her daughter, and Jiang Hongnan's two children were left in Jiang Dawei's house. Jiang Dawei was taking care of his grandchildren in the main room, while Jiang Dawei's wife was in the room with Jiang Hongmian. Xiaoyu was naturally also in the room with her mother. She was scared by what happened yesterday, especially when her mother looked like she was dying. Zhang Xiaoyu was very afraid that her mother would leave her like this, so she had been staying with her mother from yesterday until now and did not go anywhere.

After Grandma Jiang and Su Ran came in, they greeted Jiang Dawei and went into the house.

As soon as I came in, I saw Jiang Hongmian lying weakly on the kang, and Zhang Xiaoyu sitting timidly beside her.

Jiang Hongmian was in a very bad condition, with gauze wrapped around her head, her face was pale and bloodless, and the corners of her eyes were swollen and bruised, as if she had been punched hard. Although most of her exposed arms were covered by her sleeves, bruises could still be seen on the exposed areas. The visible parts were so horrible, one could imagine how serious the invisible parts would be.

Looking at the extremely thin cousin next to him, Su Ran felt his fists harden. There are scumbags every year, but there are especially many this year.

When Grandma Jiang saw Jiang Hongmian's condition, her eyes immediately turned red. She felt sorry for her niece and secretly cursed Grandpa Jiang in her heart, asking why he didn't tell her yesterday that Hongmian's condition was so serious. If he had told her earlier, she would have come yesterday! !

Jiang Dawei's wife, Su Ran's second grandmother, saw Grandma Jiang coming and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Grandma Jiang and Su Ran coming in, Jiang Hongmian forced a smile at them, "Aunt, you're here. This is Ranran, right? I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown up so much."

Grandma Jiang also forced a smile, "Yes, it's Ranran, Hongmian, are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?"

Su Ran quickly said, "Aunt, I'm Su Ran."

"Much better, nothing happened. Ranran is really a grown-up girl now." Jiang Hongmian said with a smile.

Seeing her forcing a smile, Su Ran felt even more distressed. Damn Zhang Jianjun! !

Grandma Jiang hurriedly asked what was going on. Zhang Jianjun was obviously a decent person before, but how come he suddenly changed into a different person and even beat his wife?

Jiang Hongmian smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the first time. Ever since he knew I could no longer have children, he has become a different person. At first he would beat me whenever he drank, and later he would beat me whenever he felt like it. But he is better at pretending in front of others, and he used to beat me in places where no one could see, so naturally no one else knew about it."

When Jiang Hongmian gave birth to a daughter, her body became damaged and it became difficult for her to get pregnant again. As Zhang Jianjun was the youngest and most pampered son of the Zhang family, how could his parents and sister accept that he would be extinct? So from then on, they always targeted her, making her do all the dirty and tiring work. In the Zhang family, she lived a life worse than a dog.

"Then why didn't you tell your family? Why have you been enduring this? Your parents worked so hard to raise you, so why would Zhang Jianjun treat you like this?" Grandma Jiang said helplessly, her tone full of heartache for her niece.

Jiang Hongmian lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Grandma Jiang with eyes full of sadness, helplessness and grievance.

She choked up and said, "I didn't hide it from my family on purpose, but Zhang Jianjun said that if I dared to tell anyone else, he would beat Xiaoyu. I had no choice. Xiaoyu was still so young, I couldn't just watch Zhang Jianjun beat her." At the end, her tears fell even harder.

Su Ran quickly took out a brand new handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

Grandma Jiang was sitting close to Jiang Hongmian. She was afraid that it would be too difficult for Jiang Hongmian to raise her hand, so she took her granddaughter's handkerchief and wiped the tears from her niece's face.

Seeing her niece's increasingly red and swollen eyes, Grandma Jiang sighed, "It's not a solution to keep going like this. Why don't we just not go back?"

Grandma Jiang felt sorry for her niece. Although she felt it was inappropriate to file for divorce at this time, she couldn't help but say, "Hongmian, why would you live with such a beast? If he wants a son, let him have one with someone else. Why bother with our Jiang family's daughter? Divorce her and come home. When you get better, you can work with me to build a greenhouse. I won't let you eat delicious food, but as long as I have food, I won't let you go hungry."

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything but their expressions relaxed, Grandma Jiang continued, "You all know about Hongmei's affairs. Look how well she is doing now. Although there will be some gossip, what's wrong with listening to gossip? It won't cost you a piece of meat, isn't it better than being beaten and bullied?"

"I also want a divorce, but every time I mention it he beats me, and he said if I divorce I will never see Xiaoyu again, how can I do that? Zhang Jianjun's mother has always disliked us and bullied us. I can still protect Xiaoyu, but if I'm not here, what will happen to her? How can I feel at ease leaving her alone at the Zhang family?"

Jiang Hongmian's tears kept flowing, her body trembled slightly, and her face was full of despair.

Grandma Jiang opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say. Zhang Xiaoyu's surname is Zhang, and in their countryside, when people get divorced, it is common for children to live with their father.

She sighed, "Your brother Fusheng and your nephews beat Zhang Jianjun like that yesterday. Will you be okay when you go back? What if he gets even worse?"

Jiang Hongmian forced a smile and said, "It's okay. After this, everyone will know what kind of person he is. If he hits me again, I will find the captain. If the captain doesn't care, I will find the police."

"Since you have such an idea, I won't persuade you." Grandma Jiang lowered her eyes to hide the bitterness in her eyes. She knew her niece said this to reassure them. It was normal for rural families to beat their wives. Even if they went to the team leader, the team leader would not care. Besides, the team leader of Zhangjiatun would definitely side with the Zhang family, and Hongmian would definitely perfunctorily go to him. And it was useless to go to the police if a man beat his wife. The police were unwilling to deal with such "family affairs". As long as they didn't beat their wives to death, it wouldn't be a big deal.
