Who is the real murderer

author:And light reading

Two days have passed since the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and I have been hesitant to write this article...

When I was six or seven years old, my friend Ping's sister-in-law hanged herself, which caused an uproar in the village at that time, because there was no entertainment at that time, and whoever married his daughter-in-law and married a girl in the village was as lively as a rush to the market, and later whoever died was no exception, and the outside of the door was filled with expressionless villagers. From time to time, there will be whispers.

In the early morning, when people had just finished their breakfast, a news spread in the village, Ping's sister-in-law hanged herself, and after a while, the gate of her house had been surrounded by people, of course, I also went without exception. Only to see Ping's eldest brother running in a panic, showing an indescribable expression. Only to hear the people next to me say: Last night the two of them fought a night of fighting, and today the daughter-in-law went to the West Mountain to hang herself, and the poor three-year-old boy was... I didn't listen to anything more.

I have long known that Ping's brother-in-law quarrels all day, or the two will fight a lot, their family has almost no days of peace, Ping's sister-in-law is also very powerful, when beaten by her brother, she will go to Ping's mother's house to make trouble, and sometimes the mother's family will come to make trouble together. The village was almost angry about their affairs, at least after the tea and dinner.

Because children don't know much about anything, just having to eat and play is not a big deal. Occasionally, I will see Ping listless and say" "My brother and sister-in-law are fighting again"...

It wasn't until such a big thing happened that I didn't know the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Ping's brother-in-law was married for a long time and the two people had various contradictions, and the more and more fierce quarrels escalated into a big fight, of which Ping's sister-in-law went back to her mother's house many times to want to divorce, the word "divorce" was tantamount to an earthquake at that time, whose children were divorced, this family was looked down upon by the people of the village, and even children quarreled and said how your family had a divorce... So the cycle of noise, until there is a boy, but life did not have a turnaround because of the arrival of the child, in the child for a few months when Ping's sister-in-law returned to the mother's house again, perhaps the mother's family really can't bear to see her daughter suffer from this, agreed to the daughter to sue for divorce. The marriage law at that time was not at all the same as it is now, as long as one party did not sign, the marriage could not be separated under any circumstances. So Ping's parents firmly did not support their son's divorce. In this way, this marriage became a tug-of-war, and Ping's sister-in-law was also tossing and turning on the way back...

Once when the war between the two of them escalated into a matter of two families, Ping's father was beaten and carried back, and no matter how beaten Ping's parents refused to sign a divorce for their son. This time, Ping's sister-in-law stayed at her mother's house for several months, and the child was ignored, and ping's mother took it with her.

I forgot how I came back, but Ping's sister-in-law didn't like to talk when she came back, and she didn't even laugh. The days went on like this for a while, and finally evolved into suicide.

It has been more than fifty years since this incident, and every year on the fifteenth day of the waxing moon, I will unnaturally think of Ping's brother-in-law, who has never married again after the death of her sister-in-law, and has brought up her son. Before the age of sixty, he died of cirrhosis. This marriage ended the happiness of both people. In the end, who is the driving force of the tragedy, whether it is Ping's brother or Ping's parents, if you think about it, they are not wrong, they just want to maintain this marriage.

Face is sometimes a good thing, can make people work hard, sometimes it is counterproductive, ruining themselves and ruining others...

The rule of law is sound, the marriage law is suitable for all people, and in the era of independent marriage, what if Ping's brother and sister-in-law are still alive?
