Tiger Police

Chapter 574 The Man Who Beats His Wife

Hu Pingtao asked with a smile: "In other words, Cao Zhong has a good relationship with his wife?"

Pang Zhonghua hesitated for a moment, and replied: "This...it's really hard to say."

Hu Pingtao observed his words and expressions: "Oh, what's wrong?"

Pang Zhonghua lowered his voice: "Old Cao, he looks very honest on the surface, but at home... especially with his wife, he is really good at it."

Hu Pingtao asked suspiciously: "Hit someone?"

Pang Zhonghua nodded repeatedly, with an exaggerated expression, and gestured with both hands at the same time: "The first time I saw Lao Cao beating his wife was when I just moved here. Speaking of which, I'm also to blame. At that time, my shop just opened, which happened to be the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. In March, the store is full of walnuts, chestnuts, and all kinds of mountain products from the Northeast through friends. My wife is impatient, and I can’t wait to get everything done at once. But the new opening is full of people. It was unavoidable, and since there was no one to hire at that time, she and I were the only ones watching in the shop."

"I run outside most of the time, and she is the only one in the store. The news of my job recruitment has been sent out, but there are very few applicants, and the quality of the personnel is not very good. My wife looked at Lao Cao and his wife. I usually take care of the children at home, cook and so on, so I thought that the two sides are close anyway, or I will bring the old Cao's wife over to help with the work."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and said, "This is normal!"

Pang Zhonghua said: "It's normal. My wife didn't treat her badly. She paid her a salary of 2000 yuan a month. Anyway, I don't have anything to do at ordinary times. I just help to look after the store. When there are customers, I will say hello and call me. Or my wife will do."

"Because Lao Cao just went out to make goods at that time and was not at home, so his wife agreed to come over to help take a look every day when she was free. I didn't expect..."

"Wait a minute, you wait a moment." Hu Pingtao was a little puzzled, interrupted Pang Zhonghua, and asked: "Why didn't I understand... Your wife hired Cao Zhong's wife to help look after the store, and Cao Zhong himself He runs a dry goods store. He's not usually at home, so it should be his wife who guards the store, right?"

Pang Zhonghua nodded: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "Cao Zhong's dry goods store has no workers. In other words, his wife is the only one in the store. But you just said that you gave Cao Zhong's wife 2000 yuan a month to help look after the store. what happened?"

Pang Zhonghua quickly explained: "That's right, our two shops are connected together. My side is larger, and Cao Zhong's shop is only eight square meters, and there is a door between our two shops. It is said to be looking at the store, but in fact it is just a glance, and if there are customers, I will help sell it and yell casually."

After saying this, Hu Pingtao understood: "Why, your wife is not usually in the store?"

Pang Zhonghua sighed: "She likes to play mahjong. Every appointment is at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the four of them play until five o'clock. I have told her several times, but it is useless. As long as someone calls, she will run away. Although the win or loss is not big, I feel uncomfortable! This doesn't look like a business."

Hu Pingtao straightened out the situation: "So your wife is willing to spend money to hire Cao Zhong's wife...two thousand a month, are you willing to pay this money?"

Pang Zhonghua spread his hands: "What can I do if I don't want to? I can't control her. We have quarreled several times over this matter."

Hu Pingtao nodded lightly: "You continue to talk about Cao Zhong."

Pang Zhonghua said: "I always thought that Cao Zhong knew about her wife helping to look after the shop. Half a month later, one day I was in the shop and Cao Zhong was there, so I asked him to come over for tea. In fact, he How do you know tea! Anyway, it’s the kind of cow’s drink that can’t taste the taste. After all, it’s hard work for people to look at the store, so I said a few words on the scene, saying that 2000 yuan a month will be less, and the business will be better in the future. Yes, I will raise the salary a bit more. After all, we are neighbors, and we have to take care of each other."

"Before I finished speaking, Cao Zhong's expression changed. He asked me what was going on, but I didn't realize it at the time, so I told him everything and thanked him all the time. As a result, Cao Zhong Without saying a word, he stood up, ran back, grabbed his wife's hair, and dragged him from the front shop to the corridor here..."

Hu Pingtao interrupted it again: "You see clearly, are you dragging people by their hair?"

Pang Zhonghua nodded emphatically: "How could I lie? I really didn't lie to you! In this way..."

Immediately he stood up, gestured and said, "Old Cao used to do farm work, with great strength, he grabbed his wife's hair, and just like that, he fell back and almost fell to the ground. His wife was in great pain at that time." Yelling and clasping his head tightly with both hands, I think that if he didn’t do that, Lao Cao’s hair would be pulled out forcefully.”

"Old Cao dragged the man into the corridor, picked up the mop placed at the door, and greeted his wife. He was really ruthless, and the stick was broken after a few hits."

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "Did no one persuade you at that time?"

"Yes, there must be!" Pang Zhonghua said: "I didn't react at all at the time. Think about it, people who are drinking tea suddenly ran out to grab women and beat them. I was really shocked by Lao Cao's actions. I was terrified, and I was wondering if Lao Cao might have a brain problem, right?"

"Later, a lot of people came out to persuade him. I saw something was wrong and hurried up to hug him. Because I really couldn't figure it out. It's not good. I just gave his wife 2000 yuan to look after the store. What's wrong with that? As for beating people to death?"

"That day, including me, five men and two women managed to persuade Lao Cao. His wife was beaten so badly that she couldn't even stand up. The two women supported her in the bed Sitting down on the stool by the corner, I took a chance and asked Lao Cao, why are you beating someone when you're fine?"

"Guess what Lao Cao said? He said that his wife was so courageous that she dared to collect money outside behind his back."

Hu Pingtao was stunned when he heard that, subconsciously let out an "ah", and asked in surprise, "Just because your wife asked her to help run the shop and give her two thousand a month?"

"Yeah!" Pang Zhonghua sighed when he talked about this: "What a big deal! As for beating people like that? You didn't see that the old Cao's daughter-in-law was grabbed a lot of hair, and the hair was stripped one by one. At that time, he waved the stick and pointed at the woman’s buttocks. Later, when the two women saw that something was wrong, they helped his wife to find a clinic nearby. After returning, he quietly told us: Cao Zhong’s wife had two thighs. It was full of injuries, bruised and purple. Fortunately, it didn't reach the bones, but it was really difficult to walk properly. After taking medicine, the doctor asked her to go back and have a good rest... But at night, I saw his wife get out of bed again Wake up and cook."

"Later, I got acquainted with Lao Cao and drank twice. I took advantage of the drunkenness to persuade him not to be so cruel to women. After all, he is my daughter-in-law and will live a lifetime."

Pang Zhonghua paused, and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Do you know how Lao Cao replied to me at that time?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head.

Pang Zhonghua said: "This woman must be beaten. After the beating, she knows it hurts, so she will be obedient."

Hu Pingtao frowned.He didn't like this so-called "theory" very much, but Cao Zhong was the one he was talking about, and he was not easy to get angry.

Pang Zhonghua continued: "Old Cao said that as long as there is him in the family to earn money outside, women must stay at home and look after the children. It would be great to let her look after the shop. If it wasn't for his wife, she would have no looks, no body. figure, he won't let her show up at all."

"He also said that a woman can't have money, because if she has money, she will have other thoughts. Maybe she will raise a wild man outside, and when the time comes, the inside and outside will conspire to swallow his family property, maybe there will be more They plotted for money and killed him, and the two partnered to poison his food and kill him alive."

"Poisoning?" Hu Pingtao was particularly sensitive to this word: "Is this the original words of Cao Zhong?"

Pang Zhonghua quickly explained: "The original words are all original words, and I haven't changed a single word."

Hu Pingtao fell into thought.

I didn't expect to learn these things from Pang Zhonghua... It was unexpected and surprising.

Cao Zhong thought his wife would poison the food?
The whole family got food poisoning from eating dumplings?

Will there be a connection between the two?
Or is it that Cao Zhong's wife can't bear the torture and has long thought of murder?
Pang Zhonghua watched Hu Pingtao sitting there and fell silent, and he didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought. He just picked up the teapot from the table and filled his cup.

After a long time, Hu Pingtao asked: "According to what you mean, is Cao Zhong's wife normal?"

Pang Zhonghua nodded: "It's commonplace. In short, there is a big fight every three days, and a small fight every two days. Usually, if there is nothing to do, you can punch your body or slap it twice... At the beginning, the neighbors around us every time The first time I see you, I will go up to persuade you. In the end, everyone is too lazy to care about it."

Hu Pingtao let out an "oh" and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Pang Zhonghua explained: "At the beginning, we all felt that Lao Cao was a wild man, probably because he was used to being overbearing outside, and he would vent his anger on women when he returned home. So every time he beat his wife, we would try our best to hold him back. But later we found out that his wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"She likes to take advantage of small things. As long as Lao Cao is not in the store, she will be short of money when buying peppers. I have quarreled with him several times because of this. She is very afraid of Lao Cao, and she doesn't want Lao Cao to know. Because Lao Cao is very honest in his business, if there is less than a few dollars, he will grab a handful of peppercorns and give them to others. His wife is obviously out of the ordinary."

"There is also a problem with this woman herself. This... Let's talk about it, no matter what the reason, it is definitely wrong for Lao Cao to beat someone. And he hits hard every time, and once even beat his wife's teeth Fly away. Ms. Chang from the No. 22 shop in front couldn’t see it, so she reported this matter to the community, and then people from the community and the Women’s Federation came to ask Lao Cao and his wife to understand the situation, and the woman was like a boring gourd It's like not saying a word."

Hu Pingtao found it more and more difficult to understand: "Why didn't she say it? Is it because she was afraid of being beaten, or something else?"

Pang Zhonghua said: "It happened that Lao Cao was not at home that day, and he went out to do business. There were people watching in my store, and I usually like to watch the excitement, not to mention that there is a door across, so I also went to listen. The community and The people in the Women's Federation are very nice, and they all say they want to uphold justice for that woman, but the premise is that she herself must first explain the situation."

"Old Cao's wife didn't have any objections at all, and she didn't resent Lao Cao. Instead, she said that he was a good man, housekeeper, and able to make money. When I heard these words, I was so surprised that my jaw almost dropped."

"She also said that it's natural for a man to beat a woman, and that's what her father did to her mother. The old couple have been fighting for decades, and now they are reconciled and beautiful. The same is true for Lao Cao. She doesn't blame him. Anyway, this is fate, God. All the girls out there are the same."

Hu Pingtao was full of surprise, and subconsciously blurted out: "No wonder Cao Zhong's two daughters, one is called Cao Zhaodi, the other is called Cao Pandi. So the roots are here."

Pang Zhonghua agreed: "Old Cao and his wife both like boys. The two daughters usually put food and clothing behind at home. Although his son is young, he wears new clothes and changes every other day. , the two daughters are not treated like this."

Hu Pingtao sorted out the clues he had so far, and asked, "Does Cao Zhong have any enemies?"

Pang Zhonghua thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "There really isn't one. He is a guy. Except for some problems with women and children, he really has nothing to say to outsiders. He is sincere and has a good reputation."

As soon as I said this, a woman came out from the inside and interjected disdainfully: "That daughter-in-law Cao Zhong is also a careless one. You only look at the surface of people, and there are many things you don't know!"

Pang Zhonghua quickly stood up from his chair and introduced to Hu Pingtao with a smile: "This is my wife Liao Yan, you can call her Swallow."

Hu Pingtao also stood up and greeted him politely.

Liao Yan is a bit fat, but her skin is very fair, and she looks much younger than Pang Zhonghua.She pulled a chair from the side and sat down, and told Hu Pingtao in a low voice: "I'm telling you something, don't go out and talk nonsense. I think, what happened to Cao Zhong's family is actually His wife did the trick."

Hu Pingtao and Pang Zhonghua looked at each other, and they asked in unison: "How do you know?"

"I guessed it." Liao Yan just finished saying this, and quickly changed her words: "I have evidence, and I am not talking nonsense."

Pang Zhonghua was a little anxious: "You... Officer Tiger is not one of your friends who likes to listen to your crazy talk. Let me tell you, this kind of thing can't be messed up."

Liao Yan glared at him in disbelief: "Why did I mess up? I saw Liu Xiao'e having a room with a man outside with my own eyes. I really didn't talk nonsense."
