"Hey, why are you saying that kid in my family is so unlucky?" Zhang Wei reluctantly complained to his friend Li Ming, and the two were sitting on a bench at the entrance of the community, chatting about family life.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with your brother?" Li Ming asked curiously.
"His daughter-in-law, you know, that one named Fu Mei is pressing him for money again. Zhang Wei frowned, looking worried, "I heard my mother say that this time I want more than 100,000 yuan to buy a house for my younger brother in the city." "
"Oh, isn't your brother working on a construction site, and although the salary is not high, he must have saved a lot, right?" Li Ming said suspiciously.
"That's right, but Fumei just doesn't let him save his own money, so he has to buy a house now. Zhang Wei sighed, "You also know that my younger brother works on the construction site, working hard from 9 to 5, how can he have so much spare money." "
Li Ming nodded, as if he was no stranger to this situation. Zhang Wei's younger brother Xiao Zhang and daughter-in-law Fu Mei are indeed a "family has a scripture that is difficult to read".
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Wei deliberately took time to visit his elderly mother. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother sitting in the living room with a sad face.
"What's the matter, Mom, are you worried about Xiao Zhang's affairs again?" Zhang Wei hurriedly walked over, sat beside his mother and asked with concern.
The mother nodded, revealing a sad look, "Yes, Fumei came to Xiao Zhang again to ask for money, this time for 150,000 yuan, saying that she wanted to buy a house for Xiao Zhang to live in the city." "
"But isn't Xiao Zhang's salary so small, where does he get so much money?" Zhang Wei said indignantly, "And they don't have a house to live in, don't they still live well in the small house in their hometown?"
"You're right, but Fumei just won't listen. Mother shook her head helplessly, "She always felt that living in her hometown was too shabby, and she had to buy a house in the city, you know her temper, she was simply a shrew." "
Zhang Wei frowned, feeling extremely angry at Fu Mei's approach. His younger brother Xiao Zhang is honest and hardworking, but his income is not high. And after Fu Mei got married, she was simply a white-eyed wolf, disgusted with this and disgusted with that, forcing Xiao Zhang to scrape together and live a life of tightening his belt.
"Otherwise, let's go see for ourselves. Zhang Wei said to his mother, "It's good to persuade Fu Mei, don't always be embarrassed by Xiao Zhang." "
The mother nodded with satisfaction, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
He knew that Fu Mei was a short-tempered and vindictive person, and it might be in vain to go there. But at least, he wanted Fu Mei to know how selfish and unkind she was doing now, and not always embarrass Xiao Zhang.
"When we arrived, it was the little house. Mother pointed to a small, old tiled house in front of her.
Zhang Wei nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. They parked their cars and walked slowly to the little house.
"You're here?" A woman opened the door and shouted at them. She is not tall and not outstanding in appearance, but a mouth makes people think that she is quite spicy.
"Plum, let's let. Xiao Zhang hurriedly ran out of the house, blocked in front of his wife, and smiled at Zhang Wei and his mother a little crampedly.
"Come in, we'll live in such a small house, and you'll just see. Fu Mei said sharply, turned her head and walked inside.
Zhang Wei frowned, very dissatisfied with Fu Mei's unreasonable attitude. He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang, only to see that Xiao Zhang was helplessly spreading his hands to them, his eyes full of apologies.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Wei was shocked by the scene in front of him. In the cramped room, apart from an old double bed and a dilapidated wardrobe, there was only a small table and two chairs. There was no decent furniture or household items in the house.
"Just a little possessions, you will sit down. Fume muttered and dragged the two chairs to the table.
Zhang Wei looked at Xiao Zhang, only to see Xiao Zhang hanging his head and his eyes were gloomy. His heart ached, he didn't expect his brother's life to be so embarrassing.
"Meizi, you're forcing Xiao Zhang like this, it's too much, right?" Mother finally couldn't help but speak, her tone full of accusations.
Fu Mei snorted coldly, her eyes were full of disdain, "Excessive? What do I have to be excessive? Just such a little money, Xiao Zhang is reluctant to give it to me, do you think he is too stingy?"
"But Xiao Zhang's salary is only so much, don't always embarrass him. Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Otherwise, let's live a good life first, and it won't be too late for Xiao Zhang to buy a house after earning money in the future." "
Fu Mei turned a deaf ear, and instead glared at Zhang Wei angrily, "Do you two also think that my current life is too shabby?"
Zhang Wei was shocked by Fu Mei's resolute tone, he looked at Xiao Zhang, only to see Xiao Zhang covering his face in pain, his shoulders trembling slightly. It seems that Fu Mei's pungent temper made Xiao Zhang tortured.
"Enough!" Zhang Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up suddenly, his voice full of anger, "Meizi, you are a complete shrew! Xiao Zhang is so good to you, is this how you repay him?"
"You know what? You're not living my life!" Fu Mei glared at Zhang Wei fiercely, her eyes full of anger.
"Then are you just forcing Xiao Zhang to scrape together and live a life of tightening his belt? just to buy a house?" Zhang Wei was furious and extremely disgusted with Fu Mei's selfishness.
"Shut up, both of you!" Fu Mei suddenly burst into a rage, slapped the table vigorously, and roared: "What do you know? It's because we don't have any money, so I want Xiao Zhang to hurry up and buy a house! You rich people don't understand our sufferings at all!"
Zhang Wei was startled by Fu Mei's roar and was speechless for a while. He looked at Xiao Zhang, only to see Xiao Zhang standing silently aside, his eyes gloomy and helpless.
At this moment, the mother suddenly spoke, "Enough, Meizi! I know you have a hard time, but you can't torture Xiao Zhang like this." He works so hard, is that how you treat him?"
Fumei was annoyed by her mother's words and was about to open her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by her mother mercilessly.
"If you really want to buy a house, then wait until Xiao Zhang has saved enough money! But you are like this now, you are simply a shrew! I really misjudged you!" The mother said angrily, picked up Zhang Wei and walked out.
Zhang Wei took one last look at Xiao Zhang, only to see Xiao Zhang hanging his head, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. He had mixed feelings in his heart, feeling extremely angry at Fu Mei's behavior, and at the same time deeply feeling sorry for Xiao Zhang. He secretly decided that he must try to help Xiao Zhang, and he couldn't let him be tortured by Fumei like this.
When he returned home, Zhang Wei told her husband Wang Gang about Fumei's persecution of Xiao Zhang. As the head of the family, Wang Gang was naturally extremely angry.
"This shrew, it's too much!" Wang Gang said angrily, "Xiao Zhang is so honest, is this how she treats him?"
"I also think Fumei is too much. Zhang Wei sighed, his eyes full of helplessness, "But Xiao Zhang is too weak, and she is used to being bullied." "
"That's not good, we must find a way to help Xiao Zhang. Wang Gang said categorically, "Even if you spend money to buy a house for them, you can't let Xiao Zhang be bullied by Fumei like this." "
However, Zhang Wei did not agree with Wang Gang's idea. "Even if you buy them a house, Fumei may not change. The key is to make Xiao Zhang realize that he can't be bullied by Fu Mei like this. "
"You're right, but Xiao Zhang is too honest to resist at all. Wang Gang said with a frown.
At this moment, the mother also interjected, "Then we are the only ones who will come forward and teach that shrew a good lesson." She's gone too far, she's a scourge!"
As soon as he pushed the door, Fu Mei's pungent face appeared in front of him. "What are you doing again? Do you want to make any irresponsible comments?"
"Shut up, shrew!" Wang Gang stepped forward and coldly reprimanded: "You are a complete shrew, you are simply a scourge! Xiao Zhang is so good to you, is this how you repay him?"
"How old are you, can you control me?" Fu Mei didn't take Wang Gang in his eyes at all, but glared at them angrily.
"That's our own brother, of course you have to take care of it! You, a shrew, are a white-eyed wolf, forcing Xiao Zhang to buy a house all day long, have you ever thought about his feelings?" Zhang Wei was also furious and yelled at Fu Mei.
That's when something unexpected happened.
Fu Mei suddenly picked up the hot water kettle on the side and aimed at Zhang Wei and the others for a burst of wildness!
"Shut up, mind your own business!" Fu Mei roared and poured a pot of boiling water at Zhang Wei and them.
"Meizi, are you crazy?" Zhang Wei took a few steps back in surprise, watching his sister go berserk like a crazy woman.
"You rich people don't understand our pain at all! I just want to buy Xiao Zhang a decent house to live in, is there anything wrong?" Fume shouted hysterically, but the movement of his hands did not stop at all.
"Enough, Meizi, you're going too far!" The mother finally couldn't take it anymore and stepped forward to try to stop Fumei.
"Mom, be careful!" Xiao Zhang suddenly blocked in front of his mother, and used his body to block the hot water for his mother.
"Xiao Zhang! The mother was so frightened that she hugged her son tightly and cried.
Zhang Wei and Wang Gang on the side were also stunned by the scene in front of them, Zhang Wei was furious, and he wanted to rush up and beat Fu Mei now, but out of concern for Xiao Zhang, he still suppressed his anger and did not move.
At this juncture, there was a sharp knock on the door, and then a neighbor rushed in: "What's going on? I hear movement here, what's going on?"
Seeing Xiao Zhang and Wang Gang on the ground, the neighbor was startled: "Oh my God, what's wrong with you? Quickly, let's call the police!"
The incident was quickly reported to the police by neighbors, and soon a team of uniformed police officers arrived at the scene. They quickly brought the scene under control and called an ambulance to rush Xiao Zhang and Wang Gang to the hospital.
Fu Mei was taken back to the police station by the police for questioning. Zhang Wei and his mother watched the whole process in a daze, their minds were blank, and they couldn't accept everything that had just happened.
In the hospital, although Wang Gang was not life-threatening, the burns on his arm were still quite serious. Xiao Zhang's condition was even worse, his back was scalded by hot water and required immediate hospitalization.
"It's all that crazy woman, it's a scourge!" Wang Gang groaned in pain, his eyes full of anger.
Zhang Wei sat silently on the side, with mixed feelings in his heart. Of course, he was extremely angry at Fu Mei's behavior, but more importantly, he was worried about Xiao Zhang's tragic fate.
Why did Xiao Zhang suffer such torture? What a kind and honest man he was. But Fumei treated him like this, it was simply a cruel mockery from heaven.
Just when Zhang Wei was in great pain, the police came to inform them that Fu Mei had been controlled. They decided to put Fumei in detention first and wait for Zhang's injuries to stabilize before deciding whether to prosecute her.
Zhang Wei nodded, looking at the figure of the police leaving, his heart was mixed. Of course, he hoped that Fu Mei, a crazy woman, could be severely punished, but on the other hand, he didn't want Xiao Zhang to suffer more because of this.
At this moment, Wang Gang spoke: "Zhang Wei, we can't just forget it. That crazy woman is simply a sinner, and she should pay for what she has done. "
"Let's feed him!" Wang Gang said without hesitation, "Just think that we owe him, he was burned so badly in order to protect his mother." From now on, he will stop doing manual work, and we will find him an easy job and live a good life. "
Zhang Wei was deeply shocked by Wang Gang's words, he didn't expect Wang Gang to be so generous. Looking at Wang Gang's firm eyes, Zhang Wei nodded, as if relieved in his heart.
Yes, instead of dwelling on how to punish Fu Mei, it is better to repay Xiao Zhang and let him live a happy and healthy life from now on. Only in this way will Xiao Zhang not suffer this misfortune in vain.
A few days later, Zhang was finally discharged from the hospital. Although his back is not completely healed, it is fortunately fine.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Wei, Wang Gang and his mother all came to visit Xiao Zhang. As soon as he saw Xiao Zhang, Zhang Wei stepped forward and hugged him, and his tone was extremely kind: "Xiao Zhang, don't do that kind of manual work in the future, I'll find you an easy job and take care of your injuries." "
"Xiao Zhang, you can rest assured that you can recuperate from your injuries. Wang Gang also stepped forward and patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, "From now on, you will be a member of our family, if you need anything, just ask." "
Xiao Zhang choked up, his eyes full of emotion. The mother also came over and hugged her son tightly, and the two hugged each other and cried, finally relieved.
Since then, Xiao Zhang has moved into Zhang Wei's house and started a new life. Wang Gang found him a light clerical job in his company, and although the salary was not too high, it was enough for Xiao Zhang to live a healthy life.
Fu Mei, on the other hand, was sentenced to several years in prison for assault. However, Xiao Zhang said that he did not want to pursue her criminal responsibility, and only hoped that she could turn over a new leaf.
In this way, the family started a new life, and Xiao Zhang was like a flattered child, grateful. Zhang Wei and Wang Gang sincerely hope that Xiao Zhang can start over and live a happy and healthy life.
The whole experience made Zhang Wei and Wang Gang deeply experienced. It turns out that the harm of domestic violence is so great that it will not only seriously harm the physical and mental health of the victim, but also bring irreparable trauma to the entire family.
If Fu Mei's behavior had not been stopped in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Zhang may suffer more physical and mental torture and even risk losing his life. And Wang Gang and his mother may also be saddled with legal lawsuits because of this.
"I was just too impulsive, I should have been more sensible. Wang Gang often reflected on his own approach afterwards, "If we could have handled it more tactfully, maybe we wouldn't have angered Fumei and caused her to do such a hurtful act." "
But she's gone mad. Zhang Wei sighed, "Even if we are calmer, she may not listen." The key is to let Xiao Zhang get rid of her control and harm as soon as possible. "
Yes, for victims of domestic violence, the most fundamental thing is to get out of the control of the perpetrator. Only then can they truly attain physical and mental freedom and liberation.
For the perpetrators, they also need to reflect on their own behavior and realize how harmful domestic violence is to both parties. Only by truly recognizing their mistakes can they stop themselves from hurting their loved ones again.
In order to help Xiao Zhang completely get out of the haze and regain the courage and confidence in life, Zhang Wei and Wang Gang specially sought professional psychological counseling for him.
"Xiao Zhang, you have to know that you have not done anything wrong. The senior counselor gently said to Xiao Zhang, "Everything you have suffered is because of the abuser's problem, not your own reasons." "
"No, you're not weak. The counselor shook his head, "On the contrary, you have shown a very resilient heart. It's not easy for you to be optimistic and kind in that environment. "
"You know, it's not your fault that you're experiencing domestic violence. The main culprit is the perpetrator's own distorted values and ways of behaving. What you have to do now is to reaffirm your self-worth and pick yourself up for a new life. "
"I would like to thank my brother and sister-in-law for giving me the courage and direction to rediscover my life. Xiao Zhang said sincerely, "I will definitely work hard to live a happy and healthy life." "
Seeing this, Zhang Wei and Wang Gang were also sincerely happy for Xiao Zhang. Yes, after going through so many hardships, Xiao Zhang finally regained hope and confidence in life, which is the most important thing.
In addition to psychological counseling, Zhang Wei and Wang Gang also realized that a sound legal protection mechanism is equally important for preventing and punishing domestic violence.
"If we had called the police in time and the police had intervened, we might have avoided the tragedy. Zhang Wei sighed.
"Yes, we underestimate the power of the law. Wang Gang nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, I finally asked the police to intervene, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." "
Indeed, timely legal intervention is essential to stop domestic violence and protect the safety of victims. Without the deterrent power of the law, perpetrators cannot receive the punishment they deserve, and then harm others with impunity.
"We need to actively call for the improvement of laws and regulations related to domestic violence and increase the punishment. "Only in this way can we effectively deter potential perpetrators and prevent domestic violence from occurring at the source." "
"At the same time, we also need to raise the public's awareness of the law, so that more people can understand the dangers of domestic violence and know that they should call the police for help in time. Wang Gang added.
Yes, only by raising the attention of the whole society to the problem of domestic violence and improving the relevant laws and regulations can we create a safe and harmonious family environment for all. This is not only about the happiness of every family, but also an important cornerstone of the harmony and stability of the whole society.
With the support of his family and the help of professionals, Xiao Zhang finally came out of the haze and regained his confidence and courage in life.
"I want to thank you for allowing me to rediscover the meaning of my existence. Xiao Zhang said to Zhang Wei and Wang Gang from the bottom of his heart, "From now on, I will definitely work hard and live a happy and healthy life." "
Seeing this, Zhang Wei and Wang Gang were also sincerely happy for Xiao Zhang. They saw that Xiao Zhang's eyes were full of brilliance again, and a sunny smile appeared on his face again.
In this way, with the help of Zhang Wei and Wang Gang, Xiao Zhang quickly found a clerical job in Wang Gang's company. Although the salary is not too high, it is enough for Xiao Zhang to make a decent living.
"Brother, I swear that I will work hard to make money in the future, and I will definitely buy a house in the future and live a good life!" Xiao Zhang said to Zhang Wei with a smile.
"Silly brother, you can work with peace of mind, and talk about the future in the future. Zhang Wei patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, and his tone was kind, "As long as you are happy and happy, it is our greatest comfort." "
Yes, Xiao Zhang has gone through so many hardships, and now he can finally start a new life. He no longer has to be tortured and hurt by Fumei, he only needs to work hard to live a healthy and happy life.
All of this is thanks to the timely help and support of Zhang Wei and Wang Gang. Without their rescue, Xiao Zhang might have fallen into the quagmire of domestic violence and could no longer extricate himself.
