Chapter 196 Dispute and prevarication

Several people followed the sound and saw a tall, thin middle-aged woman walking in with raised eyebrows.

"I'm just talking about you! What's the matter?!" Bai Shuke slapped the table and stood up, glaring at the woman: "Did I say something wrong about you? Look at your virtue now! Have I wronged you? "

"Bah!" The woman spat, pointed at Bai Shuke and asked, gnashing her teeth: "I don't have time to listen to your fart now, tell me! What's the matter with my daughter!"

When Bai Yanli was mentioned, Bai Shuke's anger that was still strong just now was half extinguished in an instant. Before he could reply, Jia Yi hurried forward and pulled the middle-aged woman to a place far away from Bai Shuke: "Auntie, Come on, sit down first, are you Bai Yanli's mother? What's your name?"

"Zhou Ping."

Bai Yanli's mother, Zhou Ping, has a narrow face. Although it looks a little neglected now, her complexion is dull, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are more clear due to dry skin, but it can be vaguely seen that it should be the same when she was young. A rather pretty woman, with only a pair of eyebrows, which were trimmed thin and tall, making her look a bit savage.Zhou Ping's eye circles were slightly red, as if she had cried on the way here.

"Aunt Zhou came here very quickly."

"My house is not far from here," Zhou Ping replied casually, still staring at Bai Shuke with burning eyes: "I ask you, when did you know that something happened to your daughter? Why didn't you notify me immediately? Let me tell you, Even if the court awarded the child to you, she is still my daughter, and I am her mother! I have the right to know about my daughter!"

"I just found out!" Bai Shuke's anger that had just subsided a little bit was provoked by Zhou Ping's words: "You still have the face to say that you are a beautiful mother?! You have cared for me for so many years. Is she? Have you ever taken care of her? When you got divorced, who didn't want a child? Now that something happened to your daughter, you know that you are her real mother! How many times have you paid her child support over the years? The daughter is still alive When you asked for child support, you forgot that you were her mother!"

Zhou Ping's face turned red, and she couldn't help retorting: "I was forced by life! What about you? What kind of good thing are you? When you lived with the woman you married later, did you take care of your daughter? The daughter of the younger generation is a treasure, and the daughter of the ex-wife is like weeds! Have you ever asked how your daughter has been bullied by your wife? Have you ever helped her to uphold justice? I think you are obsessed with how busy you are all the time. !"

As soon as Cheng Feng saw that the investigation would turn into mediation by the neighborhood committee, he quickly interrupted their dispute before Bai Shuke could refute: "You two, I can understand your feelings. Sad, but accusing each other and insulting each other under such circumstances will not help solve the case at all!"

After all, Bai Shu is a man. Hearing what Cheng Feng said, even if he has a lot of resentment towards Zhou Ping, he still has to behave in a more general and graceful manner. He glared at Zhou Ping and stopped talking. Forget it, before he could speak, he met Cheng Feng's majestic gaze, and the words stuck in his throat when he reached his mouth, and he didn't dare to continue making noise.

Jiayi and Ma Chunlei exchanged glances helplessly. They both had the same feeling in their hearts. Bai Shuke and Zhou Ping must be enemies in previous lives. They have been divorced for so long, and they can quarrel as soon as they meet. Such a close relationship, and then again, with such a pair of parents, Bai Yanli's childhood situation can be imagined.Jiayi began to feel more sympathy for this poor girl who unfortunately died.

"Aunt Zhou, when was the last time you saw Bai Yanli or had any contact with her?" Seeing that both of them were willing to calm down, Cheng Feng resumed his questioning.

Zhou Ping thought for a long time, then said in a low voice, "It was more than two months ago."

"What? You haven't seen your daughter for so long?" Bai Shuke jumped up from the chair, his tone full of accusations, as if he had forgotten that he hadn't contacted his daughter for more than a month: "How did you give What kind of mother?!"

Afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, Ma Chunlei hurriedly stepped forward to pat Bai Shuke on the shoulder, and pressed him to sit down again.

Zhou Ping raised her eyebrows when she heard that Bai Shuke was blaming her, but before she could speak, she looked at Cheng Feng, who was sullen, curled her lips, turned her face away with her arms in her arms, and ignored Bai Shuke.

"What was the last time you and Bai Yanli met?" Cheng Feng continued to ask Zhou Ping.

"I asked her to go home, and I wanted her to help with something." Zhou Ping obviously lacked confidence when answering the question, and her tone was much lower than before.

"whats the matter?"

"Her sister... I mean, the daughter of my remarried husband got married last month. I asked her to go to the wedding. I wanted her to go to the wedding, prepare gifts and so on, and dress decently at that time, but this The child was so stubborn that she refused to go no matter what she said, and later she said goodbye. She didn't go last month, so I thought she was angry with me, so I didn't think much about it..." Zhou Ping's eyes were red again, full of tears. Regret: "I never thought that the last words Yanli and I said in this life would be to tell her never to come back after leaving that door, and now she really will never come back..."

"Aunt Zhou, how is your relationship with Bai Yanli? Do you know anything about her life and social life?" Jiayi took out a tissue to help Zhou Ping wipe away her tears, and changed the topic by the way, lest she would get stuck in a sad mood.

Zhou Ping wiped her eyes silently and shook her head.

"What can she know?!" Bai Shuke panted heavily, pointing his index finger in Zhou Ping's direction a little angrily: "Ask her if she has ever had the self-consciousness of being a mother! My daughter doesn't treat her well and remarries. Afterwards, they used other people’s children as ancestors! They served me obediently in every way! When I was living with me, it seemed like I was filled with gunpowder, but when I got to that house! I suddenly changed from a tigress to a lamb Let her step-husband’s daughter bully us Yanli all day long! How many times did Yanli come back from her with red eyes!”

"Don't talk about me so angry!" Zhou Ping became angry at Bai Shuke's words: "What's wrong with you? Did you know that when you were not at home, the woman you found would secretly beat you up?" Yanli? Do you know that every time Yanli quarreled with your younger child, you never turned to her, how many times she came to me and cried! I am her mother! Who would not love her child when she is a mother! I have no choice! Otherwise, you think I will let Yanli suffer so much with you?!"

"Aunt Zhou, may I take the liberty to ask why you didn't want Bai Yanli's custody?" Jiayi felt that Zhou Ping's appearance was not acting, but it was also true that she didn't care about Bai Yanli, which made her very puzzled.

"I can't help it!" Zhou Ping sobbed: "When I divorced this dead man, the factory I worked in was not efficient, and I was arguing every day to reduce the number of people. I am a woman, and my salary was very low when I had a job. What's more, when it's still precarious, another one, it's difficult for a woman to remarry, and if I bring another daughter, it will be even more difficult, so I thought, no matter what her father said, the income from the sports car is not enough. That's right, my daughter can suffer less by following him, who knows that he is so worthless, marrying a woman to come in, and leaving everything to others, making my daughter look like a doormat at home, poor thing!"

Bai Shu wanted to refute, but was a little short of breath, so he could only blow his beard and stare at Zhou Ping.

"I also thought about letting my daughter come and live with me, but there is really no way. This child has a stubborn temper. After I remarried, my current husband is a businessman, and the family's expenses are all supported by him. He was in charge of all the money and things. I was laid off at that time and had no source of income. I could only cook at home and clean up the house. I didn’t have much confidence when I spoke. My husband’s daughter was two or three years older than Yanli. She is as spoiled as a little princess, and she is always competitive in her studies. She has always been her father's favorite child. She is gorgeous in her studies, and she wears street goods. When she came to my place, her husband's daughter looked down on her. , she was jealous that the child was favored for good things, so she always quarreled with me. Seeing that I had no choice, she found fault and fought with her little sister. Later, my husband couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked me to send Yanli back Go to her father's. On the one hand, I can't control her, on the other hand, I'm afraid that she will learn how to compare at a young age when she looks at other people's clothes and clothes, so I agreed. After that, Yanli treated me She's getting more and more distant, she might think I'm an incompetent mother!" Zhou Ping's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she didn't wipe them away.

After Jiayi heard this, he felt very sad. Bai Yanli's growth process was heartbreaking, but her mother's situation made it impossible to accuse her of being selfish.

"I'm having a hard time too! My daughter is with me, and she has a lot of trouble with her stepmother every day. I run a sports car by myself, feed and dress the whole family, and I have two children who are studying. The maintenance you give to Yanli is always the same. If it drags on, my wife has to miss me, my sister is young, I care about her a little bit more, Yanli gets into a lot of trouble, and my wife and I are either quarreling or fighting, sometimes I would rather go out for a long distance run!" Bai Shuke also expressed his helplessness.

But after talking for a long time, apart from talking about their own difficulties, the parents complained about each other's incomprehension. When it comes to Bai Yanli's independent life, and what kind of people she associates with, both of them are the same. I don't know about three questions.

There was no way, in order to prevent the investigation from turning into a talk show for emotional mediation, Cheng Feng had no choice but to end the investigation of Bai Yanli's parents.

The victim's parents had no way to go. Cheng Feng and the others discussed it and decided to go to the C City Department Store where Bai Yanli worked the next day to take a look.

Since there is nothing to gain from the family, the only way to start is from the work unit!
