all the way

Liu Chuan's doubts about the relationship between Liu Mao and Liu Dongju stemmed from his own marriage and personal experience with the relationship between husband and wife. On the Dragon Boat Festival that year, he delivered rice dumplings to his home and drove to Luogezhuang. The second brother Liu Mao is there.

At that time, Liu Mao and Liu Dongju had been married for more than half a year, and Liu Dongju had been pregnant for several months, and the pregnancy reaction was very severe.

When Liu Chuan arrived, Liu Dongju had been sitting under the tree in the yard retching, and Liu Mao hadn’t expressed anything to Liu Dongju, really anything—distress, care, disgust, scolding, happiness, boredom, nothing, not even a look It's all owed, as if Liu Dongju didn't exist at all.

Liu Chuan was not surprised by Liu Mao's attitude at the time, because he heard from Liu Kui that before they knew Liu Dongju was pregnant, Liu Dongju's mother went to Liu Mao's house to make a show for her daughter, accusing Liu Mao of drinking too much. Forcing Liu Dongju to have sex with husband and wife, causing Liu Dongju to be injured all over.

A few days later when Liu Kui came to see Liu Mao, Liu Dongju's mother told Liu Kui about the matter again, and even accused Liu Mao of not being a human being in front of Liu Kui, making Liu Dongju afraid whenever she thinks about having sex, and now she is still pregnant. Too scared to come back to live.

In this case, it is not normal for Liu Mao to have a good attitude towards Liu Dongju.

What Liu Chuan didn't understand was Liu Dongju, she had almost the same attitude towards Liu Mao, without any emotion, as if Liu Mao was not his husband, nor was she a few meters away from her.

Under normal circumstances, even if the husband and wife are not too harmonious, women will still be taken care of emotionally when they are pregnant. If there is no such care, women will generally behave very aggressively. Fierce quarrels are a kind, and desperate cold wars are also One kind, but Liu Dongju, who has always been very strong and superior in front of Liu Mao, showed a look of indifference, which confused Liu Chuan very much.

Liu Chuan and Liu Dongju didn't say a word that day, Liu Dongju ignored him like Liu Mao. In fact, in the past six years, Liu Chuan had almost never talked to Liu Dongju, and Liu Yu, who often went to Liu Mao's place, was the same, except that he would Liu Kui complained about Liu Mao's many faults in front of him, and Liu Dongju basically turned a blind eye to the rest of the Liu family who went to visit Liu Mao.

Liu Chuan and Liu Yu almost didn't pay attention to Liu Dongju, but Liu Chuan was a relatively mature person, and when he got home, Liu Yu went to Liu Mao's once, and once he got home, he had to scold Liu Dongju.

It took Liu Chuan a long time to hear Liu Kui talk about Liu Dongju's mother's complaints that day. Liu Kui was only just over [-] years old at the time, and husband and wife affairs were a very taboo and obscure topic. Liu Dongju's mother sued Liu Mao in front of him. When Liu Kui was so embarrassed, he told his own brother that he also felt unable to open his mouth.

The reason why Liu Kui told Liu Chuan later was because he thought about it after he calmed down, and he felt that Liu Mao couldn't do the thing of forcing Liu Dongju after drinking.

Liu Mao didn't drink alcohol before. The day Liu Dongju's mother said was the sixth anniversary of Xu Xiaohong's death. Liu Mao was drunk for the first time. This is a fact. When Liu Kui asked, Liu Mao himself nodded and admitted.

Liu Kui felt that with Liu Mao's obsession with Xu Xiaohong, he was so uncomfortable that he didn't even go to work that day, and drank his sorrows alone, how could he do that kind of thing to Liu Dongju.

Moreover, with Liu Dongju's domineering personality, will she let the drunk Liu Mao hurt her?

Liu Chuan scoffed at Liu's mother saying that Liu Mao was drunk and forced Liu Dongju.

Liu Kui almost doesn't drink alcohol, and the people he usually contacts rarely drink alcohol, so there are some things I don't know. Among Liu Chuan's colleagues and friends in the Public Security Bureau, there are many people who are drunk every three days and five days. And because of their profession, a considerable number of colleagues took the matter between men and women as a joke and said that there was no psychological burden at all. Liu Chuan heard from them that if a man was really drunk, he would not be able to do that kind of thing at all.

"It's good that a man who is so drunk that he can't even walk steadily can walk to the door of the house. He still has the ability to do that?" Liu Chuan said to Liu Kui at that time.

Liu Kui asked: "Then, what does Liu Dongju's mother mean by arranging this matter about your second brother? Of course, if it gets out, it will not be good for your second brother, but it will be good for her daughter? A woman, ask a man to put her on the bed and beat her. If it spreads out, it will make outsiders laugh, right?"

Because of Liu Kui's words, Liu Chuan's mind flashed a thought: Could it be that Liu Mao never slept with Liu Dongju after they got married?Liu Dongju's mother is older and has much more life experience than Liu Dongju. She saw that Liu Mao had no relationship with Liu Dongju at all, and she was afraid that Liu Mao would not want Liu Dongju after divorce, so she created such a momentum to let outsiders know Liu Mao He and Liu Dongju are already married, and it was Liu Mao who forced Liu Dongju on his own initiative. In this way, if Liu Mao dares to file for a divorce, Wan Fu must blame her.

But Liu Chuan immediately denied this speculation by himself, because Liu Dongju was about to give birth at that time. On the one hand, Liu Chuan did not believe that Liu Mao would have a husband and wife relationship with Liu Dongju so soon, on the other hand, he felt that although Liu Mao's personality was relatively gentle compared with their brothers No matter how much he doesn't care about his marriage with Liu Dongju, he will never tolerate Liu Dongju cuckolding himself.

For the first time, Liu Chuan's suspicion of Liu Dongju was based on a criminal policeman's intuition, but because there was no evidence to support it, it was slowly forgotten over time.

Liu Chuan and Liu Mao are only two years apart. Like Liu Yu and Liu Ling, they grew up together and went to school together. The relationship between them is very close. Although seeing Liu Dongju is disgusting, Liu Chuan still often sees Liu Dongju when he comes home. Stop by Liu Mao for a while, sometimes Liu Mao is on duty at the weighbridge outside, and the two brothers talk a few words there.

Liu Chuan became more and more worried about Liu Mao's future, because Liu Dongju would often quarrel with Liu Mao for no reason. Occasionally, Liu Mao's colleagues said that Liu Dongju sometimes looked hysterical, just like a lunatic. Desperate to live, she looks like a full-fledged shrew, but she often puts on a noble face immediately, lives in Liu Mao's unit, and looks completely unrelated to Liu Mao, cooks and eats by herself, Treat Liu Mao as nothing.

Liu Chuan really couldn't imagine that his second brother, who was so happy before, would live like this for the rest of his life.

After Liu Dengke was born, Liu Chuan gave up the plan that had been brewing for several months to persuade his elder brother Liu Kui to join him in persuading his father to let Liu Mao get a divorce, probably because he was young. Angry, but not as concerned as Liu Changqing and Liu Kui.

What he saw was that after Liu Dongju gave birth to Liu Dengke, her temper seemed to have calmed down. He thought that Liu Dongju's previous unreasonable troubles might be due to her personality and family education, but also because she gave birth to a girl first, while Liu Mao Having a son with Xu Xiaohong, Liu Dongju feels insecure because of this, so she strives for a more powerful position by constantly fighting with Liu Mao, so as to increase her right to speak at home in the future. After having a son, Liu Dongju feels at ease, and should I will gradually restrain my bad temper and live a good life.

But things were not as Yanagawa imagined. Liu Dengke only let Liu Dongju settle down for a few months. Liu Dongju brought Liu Dengke back to her natal home for more than a month. When pregnant with Liu Mao, she wanted to cut her wrists. That time she stabbed herself with scissors. If she hadn't been dragged by the bystanders, according to Liu Mao's endorsement, she might have stabbed the scissors in. own chest.

It was then that Liu Dongju started to treat Nana in the cold.

And Yanagawa suspects that Liu Dengke is not Liu Mao's child. It started when he saw Liu Dengke's second-year-old commemorative photo when he went to Liu Mao's place after this year.

It is easy to magnify a person's characteristics in photos. When Liu Chuan saw Liu Dengke himself before, he also had the idea of ​​"he doesn't look like the second brother at all" in a flash, but such a small child can't tell that he looks like him. Which one of the parents is too normal.

But the five-inch color photo that Liu Dongju specially took for Liu Dengke made Liu Chuan suddenly suspicious. The photos of Liu Mao Baitian and when he was three years old are still hanging in the frame on the wall of Liu Changchun's main room. You can see a very obvious similarity with Liu Mao in the photos, and Liu Dengke has big eyes, obvious double eyelids and thick eyebrows, and Liu Mao has slender eyes, single eyelids and clean "one" eyebrows The difference is too big.

Once the suspicion started, Liu Chuan, who was a criminal policeman, began to recall Liu Dongju's previous behaviors, and found that Liu Dongju seemed to be neurotic and violent, or occasionally very noble and glamorous, and lived peacefully with Liu Mao in an extremely indifferent way. It all happened after she returned to her natal home for a period of time.

If Liu Dongju lived in Luogezhuang for a little longer, the middle and Liu Mao were still very cold, and she would have a bit of a moth attack from time to time, not when she didn't act like a lunatic, but compared to when she just came from her natal home When coming back, the degree is always less, and the time of madness is also shorter.

Liu Chuan began to secretly investigate what happened to Liu Dongju and who she had contact with after returning to her natal home.

But he didn't know much about the situation. After all, it was a woman's family matter. If it wasn't a close friend, neighbors would have no chance to know. Moreover, if Liu Dongju was really having an affair with other men, it must have been done secretly, and even fewer people knew about it. .

It is impossible to ask someone to interrogate this kind of matter like a case. Before there is no conclusive evidence, Yanagawa does not want to let outsiders know about this family scandal, so his investigation is progressing slowly.

Until May of this year, when he went to the Yangmiao Township Police Station to do business, he accidentally saw a man named Han Zhongxiao in the Yangmiao Township Government.

Liu Dengke and Han Zhongxiao look so much alike.

When Liu Chuan saw Han Zhongxiao's face, he almost immediately concluded that both Nana and Liu Dengke were children of this person.

Half an hour later, Liu Chuan and the director of the Yangmiao Police Station chatted and laughed, and learned that Han Zhongxiao's family belonged to Renbao. After marrying Yang Qiaoli, the daughter of Yang Wanqiang, the former deputy secretary of Yangmiao Township, she was transferred to the township judicial office. She just went to the party school to study for three months after the end of this year.

Liu Chuan knew that all his guesses had been confirmed: Renbao was the westernmost village of Yangmiao Township, bordering Wangning Township, and the easternmost village of Wangning, next to Yangmiao Township, was Liu Dongju's natal family, Liu Village.

Geographically, Liuzhai is closer to the seat of Yangmiao township government than Wangning, and Yangmiao is more prosperous than Wangning. Generally, if people in Liuzhai want to buy something, they go to Yangmiao instead of Wangning. rather.

Liu Chuan asked Liu Xia: "The day Yu Baozhong called you to say that Bu was ready, you sent me a page and I didn't reply. Do you know where I went?"

Liu Xia said: "Didn't you say that you went to Luogezhuang to do some business and couldn't find a phone on the way?"

Liu Chuan nodded: "Yes, but you don't know, I went to the second brother Luogezhuang from Yangmiao, and I entrusted someone to greet Liu Dongju for me, and that person told me that Liu Dongju took Liu Dengke to the place the night before. Yang Temple.

That day in Wangning, I was not surprised to see the wound on Liu Dongju’s head, because the first time I saw the wound on her head was in Yangmiao, the wound was still fresh and bleeding, hehe , probably because Han Zhongxiao didn't have the guts to divorce, she forced her to die and bumped herself into it, isn't she used to playing tricks of looking for life and death? "

Liu Xia asked: "Do you think Second Brother knows about this?"

"I don't necessarily know that it's Han Zhongxiao, but I can definitely see Liu Dongju's matter as close as possible.

If it wasn't for Liu Dongju being too mean to Nana after having Liu Dengke, and knowing that Liu Dongju went crazy this time because Han Zhongxiao's wife Yang Qiaoli was pregnant, I guess the second brother would stand on the sidelines for another three to five years until he felt his age We can convince our uncle and uncle that we will never force him to marry again. "

Through the window, Liu Xia looked at Maoer, Ma Pengcheng, and Chu Hao chasing each other to the gate, and asked, "If Liu Dongju stays at her mother's house and never comes back, what will my second brother do?"

Liu Chuan smiled: "The ones who are worried and scared now should be the clever mother and daughter of the Liu family, why are we so anxious?

If my guess is correct, Liu Dongju is still holding on to a glimmer of hope, betting that Yang Qiaoli's second child will not be able to give birth to a boy. Na has been young for more than three months, and Yang Qiaoli will give birth in about four months.

The second brother and Liu Dongju have been married for almost six years, and have never been to Liu Dongju's house once, and he doesn't plan to go now, he has already written the indictment, and I am preparing to go to the court to find someone, and the Civil Affairs Office needs to mediate for a divorce. There are a lot of things, let's directly sue for divorce, and it's useless for Liu Dongju to hide anywhere.

If their mother and daughter intend to use Han Zhongxiao's place to get rid of Liu Dongju, and use Second Brother's place as a retreat, then it's better to save yourself, they really think that our family is from a valley and we are stupid, let them play around! "

Liu Xia watched the cat rushing toward the family, and couldn't help but smile: "Then, what about Nana?"

Liu Chuan shook his head: "I don't know, I just told my elder brother about this, I haven't told my uncle, my mother, my uncle, etc., I want to tell them after my second brother leaves, so as not to make them worry about it all the time." .

Brother thinks it would be pitiful for Nana to follow Liu Dongju, but if she doesn't follow, in our house, every time we see her, we will think of Liu Dongju, which is really bad enough. "

The door of the living room slammed, and the cat yelled over there, "Uncle, Ma Pengcheng told Chu Hao that he would treat you to some biscuits and rice noodles after swimming. Don't agree. They are shameless. As soon as they treat guests, they will eat to death, I'll go wash my face!"

Liu Xia said: "Got it, I don't care about them, you eat a chicken leg first after washing your face, swimming on an empty stomach is prone to cramping, the water in the reservoir is very deep, if you have leg cramps, it will be terrible.

Brother, I always feel that even if the second brother sues for divorce, it will not go smoothly. Liu Dongju and her mother are a bitch, unless that Han Zhongxiao divorces and marries Liu Dongju, or..."

Liu Chuan sneered and said, "It's nothing. If they think that spoiling is omnipotent, then they will continue to spoil. They want to use our family members as stepping stones for spare tires and blind them."

Neither Liu Xia nor Liu Chuan expected that this matter would unfold in a way that was completely beyond their expectations. The Liu family brothers still underestimated Liu Dongju's tough character.
