law of forbidden love

Chapter 18 The Dust Settles

The plastic bag in Gu Dexia's hand fell to the ground, and the plaster box, which was not cheap to her, fell out of it and scattered all over the ground.

The small noise was enough to disturb the three men in the room, and Liu Daqiang was the first to turn to look at her.

"Yo, who did I think it was?" Liu Daqiang smiled disdainfully, and said to the other two people, "My mother-in-law is back, you two go slowly, come again next time, come again..."

Gu Dexia looked at them blankly but disgusted. She didn't care to speak, and rushed into her daughter's room like crazy.

Chunni huddled in the corner of the room, covering her body with a pile of messy clothes, sitting naked on the ground, the braids she had tied up before going out were messed up, and her hair was messed up with tears and snot. face.

"Mom... ah! ah..." Seeing Gu Dexia, Chunni yelled terribly, with her hands spreading her shame-covering clothes and gesticulating in the air, crying even more fiercely, with five fingerprints clearly visible on the side of her face.

Enduring the pain in her leg, Gu Dexia rushed over, hugged her daughter, and before she could speak, tears rolled down her face.

"Chunni, tell Mom, what's wrong? How did they bully you?"

"Ah! Hit... Hit! It hurts..." Chuni cried frantically, tearing at her messy hair.

Gu Dexia understood what happened.

Liu Daqiang asked her for money two days ago, but she didn't give it, and that scumbag was cursing at that time.A tiger doesn't eat its children, she really didn't expect him to hit her daughter's idea.

The more Gu Dexia thought about it, the more remorseful she became. She raised her hand and slapped herself twice on the face, hugging her daughter and crying loudly.

The sound of the door being closed sounded, and the two men were sent away by Liu Daqiang.

A thin monkey-like old man appeared at the door of Chunni's bedroom, holding a wine bottle in his hand, half drunk, staggering when he walked, unable to speak clearly.

"Isn't it just... to sleep with someone... to sleep, and there is no shortage of flesh on her body. It is serious to save her father's...hand, and it is not in vain for me, Liu Daqiang, to support her for so many years. Bah! Fool..." Liu Daqiang said, spitting out a mouthful.

Gu Dexia stood up from the ground with difficulty, rushed over and beat Liu Daqiang.

"Immortal thing, why do you say that about my daughter! If it weren't for you, would she have become like this?"

Liu Daqiang is a drunkard and a smoker.He was skinny and dry, with no blemishes on his face, only a pair of glinting eyes that rolled around, and he didn't know where the strength came from.

He swung Gu Dexia away, and Gu Dexia was hit by him and fell to the ground. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and black in front of her eyes.

"Don't be shameless! You are several years older than me, ugly, old and disabled. I only fell in love with you when I was blind! Give me such a broom star!" Liu Daqiang slapped Gu Dexia's belly hard He kicked fiercely, "I don't know which wild man I was born with, but I gave birth to a fool, and I still have to rely on me!"

Gu Dexia yelled, covered her stomach, and lay on her side on the ground gasping for breath. Listening to these unsavory words, she felt that her life was in vain.I wasted my youth for such a man, and I still hope that he can change for the better.

Enduring the pain, Gu Dexia sat up slowly while leaning on the wall.She heard Chunni crying again, is she scared?Will it be cold?Gu Dexia thought about it, and suddenly realized that with a father like Liu Daqiang, Chunni's life would have been ruined long ago.

She got up slowly, leaning on the wall and walking towards Liu Daqiang.

"Yo, what's the matter? Do you want to fight with me?" Liu Daqiang emptied the wine bottle, raised it up and gestured twice to Gu Dexia's face, and he was unsteady standing still.

Gu Dexia gritted her teeth, and the old man used all his strength to rush towards the devil who had sucked her blood dry. The resentment accumulated for decades finally broke out at that moment.

"go to hell!"

She pushed the man hard. This time the strength was really not small. Liu Daqiang had a cerebral infarction and high blood pressure, and he was drunk. He accidentally lost his footing and fell backward, hitting the back of his head hard. to the wall.

Suddenly, a large amount of blood splattered on the yellow and moldy wall.Liu Daqiang screamed and stared straight at Gu Dexia with his eyes wide open. His head slid down slowly against the wall, leaving a long streak of blood on the wall...

"Blood...Blood..."

Gu Dexia's mind went blank, but Chuni sat there clapping her hands and laughing like an innocent child.

"A lot of blood... red, red scarf..."

Memories were pulled and twisted. At that time, Chunni was still very young, she was very well-behaved and smart, and she was rated as a Young Pioneer early.She usually wears two shofar braids, and she can get up and go to school by herself every morning without Gu Dexia calling her. I didn't listen to it several times.

But Gu Dexia left her for a few days and went back to see her sick mother. Liu Daqiang didn't care about the child's life or death, and didn't take her to the hospital if she had a fever. found out, and locked her in the closet...

"Damn! Are you... are you going to kill me?" Liu Daqiang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, half of his eyes were covered with thick blood, he was like a rakshasa in hell, "I'm a ghost

I won't let you go!Even if I die, I will pull you two on my back! "

Gu Dexia froze in place, her legs trembling.She couldn't stand up anymore, she knew that she was going to die too, she couldn't be with Chunni anymore, she was going to leave her favorite girl...

So why not take this demon too?Why keep him to continue to harm Chunni?

The daughter's laughter seemed to encourage the white-haired old woman. She looked around and saw a wooden stick as thick as a child's arm standing on the ground.

she picked it up.

She smashed down on Liu Daqiang's head one after another. With Chunni's laughter and Liu Daqiang's screams, everything was over.

……

"Defendant Gu Dexia." The majestic voice of the presiding judge sounded, "Do you agree with what the prosecutor said?"

Gu Dexia raised her head, her emotions finally regained her composure.She was like a primary school student who had done something wrong, evasively daring not to look into the judge's eyes, but she also felt that Liu Daqiang was dead, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

"Judge, it was me. I killed Liu Daqiang." Gu Dexia cried again as she spoke, "It has nothing to do with my daughter. It doesn't matter if you sentence me for a few years. Find her a good place, please. You guys, save her..."

There were also low sobs in the auditorium. Fu Xiaojia's nasal cavity had been sore for a long time, and he tried very hard not to let himself cry.

"I'm asking you, is what the prosecutor said true? Please answer my question, just say yes or no." The presiding judge sighed and asked again.

"...Yes." Gu Dexia said hesitantly.

"Then why didn't you mention it when you recorded the statement?" the presiding judge asked her again.

"I'm afraid...I'm afraid it will affect Chunni's reputation." Gu Dexia lowered her head, buried her face in her palms, and sobbed.

"Well...if you had sought help early, the matter wouldn't have gotten to the point where it is today." Although the presiding judge was well versed in the professional ethics of a judge and knew that it was inappropriate to say such things in court, as a woman , a mother whose sympathy compelled her to do so.

The female lawyer who had been silent all this time recovered from the accident and found her chance to speak.

She was upright and kind, and was deeply moved by Gu Dexia, eagerly hoping that under the authority of the law, the old man's desperation and helplessness could be accommodated.

"As the prosecutor said, the defendant Gu Dexia wanted to protect her daughter from being abused. This is self-defense!" the female lawyer said angrily.

Shang Kai looked at her calmly and paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"Justifiable defense needs to be carried out at the same time as the infringement. When Gu Dexia committed the crime, the illegal infringement had ended. This does not constitute legitimate defense."

The female lawyer regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. She was indeed too impatient to make such a mistake in a hurry.

"Don't you think the defendant is very pitiful? She is a great mother. May I ask which mother in the world can continue to swallow her anger when encountering such a thing?" the female lawyer asked Shang Kai.

"It's true that it shouldn't be tolerated, but there are always other solutions." Shang Kai said, his tone softened a little, "I can understand the defender's compassion, but your direction is completely wrong. You didn't You should be smart enough to plead not guilty, but you should focus on finding the truth, and plead not guilty within a reasonable range. Do you know that because of your too strong desire to win, and your cleverness of opportunism, Let you pass over details that are extremely beneficial to the defendant?"

The female lawyer was hit by Shang Kai's words, she lowered her head and said nothing.

That's right, these evidences should not have been submitted by the public prosecutor.

"The facts of this case are clear and the evidence is complete. According to Article 230 of the Criminal Law, I believe that the defendant Gu Dexia was convicted of intentional homicide, but since the circumstances are relatively minor and the defendant is over 75 years old, he should be given a lighter punishment; plus The victim has a relatively large subjective fault and should be dealt with lightly. My sentencing recommendation is... six to eight years."

six to eight years.

Fu Xiaojia burst into tears the moment Shang Kai finished speaking.

Gu Dexia in the dock sighed deeply and accepted the number calmly.

The presiding judge looked at Shang Kai, looked away again, and then continued to say in a solemn voice without any personal feelings: "This trial is over, and the announcement of the trial results will be postponed after discussion by the collegial panel."

The bailiff helped Gu Dexia to leave from left to right, and the people in the auditorium stood up quietly, and followed the guidance of the court staff to exit the court.

The female lawyer hesitated on the official account: Xi Tulanya was reading the documents in the Wanshiwu, and looked at Shang Kai in the public prosecutor's seat from time to time. There was guilt in her eyes, but also gratitude. Shang Kai taught her a lesson with actions, probably It would turn out to be the most impactful scene of her career.

Fu Xiaojia sat there without moving, he looked at Shang Kai, and Shang Kai's eyes happened to meet his.

For a moment, Fu Xiaojia's heart seemed to be supported by an invisible force. Shang Kai looked at him quietly, with eyes as deep as sea water, which inexplicably calmed Fu Xiaojia's emotions.

He stood there, like a green pine that has experienced severe winter, and like a towering oak tree...
