Although it is during the New Year holiday, the police station has police officers on duty 24 hours a day.
When he arrived at the police station, Lin Mai walked straight in with his head held high.
But Yao Cuihua hesitated a little, emboldened herself, and shouted bluffingly as she walked in: "I spent money to marry my wife. I don't believe that the police are unreasonable and don't recognize the marriage!"
After taking two steps, I found that my son was not following me. I turned around and saw Wu Xiaoyu standing at the gate, not daring to come in. She said angrily: "Why are you still dawdling? Come in quickly!"
It was true that he and Lin Bei dug a hole at the beginning, taking advantage of Lin's father and Lin's mother, deceiving Lin Mai and tricking her into marrying her.
If Lin Mai really wanted to sue for marriage fraud, Wu Xiaoyu was worried that she would not be able to eat and walked around, so she did not dare to go in.
The more his mother called him, the more he refused to go in, and finally turned around and ran away.
The neighbors who came to watch the excitement booed.
It seems that what Lin Mai said is true. She was indeed deceived into marriage by Wu Xiaoyu and her sister, otherwise Wu Xiaoyu would not have run away with a guilty conscience.
When Yao Cuihua saw her son running away, she felt very panicked. She walked back and forth at the door of the police station for a long time, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of the two thousand yuan in Lin Mai's hand, so she bravely went in.
In rural areas, it only cost three to four hundred to build a two-story house. What was two thousand yuan? She had never dreamed of spending so much money!
Today, no matter what, I will take the little bitch back and force her to hand over the two thousand yuan, otherwise I will beat her to death!
People in this era are afraid of the police. Even though Yao Cuihua is tough and strong, she is still trembling when entering the police station.
Seeing that Lin Mai was already sitting in front of the policeman on duty, describing the case, he had no choice but to bravely walk over, stand aside and listen with open ears.
The policeman signaled Lin Mai to stop, and then asked Yao Cuihua: "Comrade, are you okay?"
Yao Cuihua pointed at Lin Mai: "She is my daughter-in-law."
The policeman nodded: "Are you one of the victims of this gay marriage fraud case? Then please sit down."
After that, he made a gesture to sit down.
Yao Cuihua felt relieved when she saw how friendly the police officers were, and sat down next to Lin Mai.
Lin Mai had almost finished speaking. Yao Cuihua only heard her say: "Wu Xiaoyu's family kicked me out of the house in the snow on the day before New Year's Day. Let alone a de facto marriage, even a de facto marriage has come to an end."
Yao Cuihua suddenly jumped up from her chair with excitement: "If we have a quarrel and kick you out of the house, this marriage will be over? You think so!
Let me tell you, you are the daughter-in-law who was brought into our family with a high betrothal gift. You are a member of our family when you are born, and you are the ghost of our family when you die!"
The policeman who had been so amiable before shouted: "Comrade, please pay attention to your words and deeds. This is the police station and we will not tolerate you making noises!"
Only then did Yao Cuihua remember that she was in the police station, and she was so frightened that she sat down hurriedly.
With a pitiful look like a little quail, she said to the police: "Comrade Public Security, she is the daughter-in-law that our family paid a high price to marry into. You must let her return to our home."
The policeman on duty was young, only in his twenties, but he was still very intimidating when he looked serious.
"Paying a high price to marry someone who has just entered the family? Are you buying a wife?"
Yao Cuihua was so frightened that she kept waving her hands: "I'm panicking. Slip of the tongue. Slip of the tongue. I want to say that she is the daughter-in-law that our family married with a high betrothal gift..."
She wanted to ramble on, but the young policeman stopped her with a gesture.
"Although I sympathize with your situation, this marriage is invalid. This Comrade Xiaolin does not need to return to your home."
Yao Cuihua forgot her fear in a hurry, stared and asked: "Why!"
The policeman explained patiently: "Of course it's based on the Marriage Law, but am I just talking nonsense?"
Then I will give Yao Cuihua a popular science on marriage law and de facto marriage.
His voice was loud and clear, and the neighbors who crowded around the police station door could hear him clearly.
"The so-called de facto marriage means that a man and a woman live together continuously and stably in the name of husband and wife.
Moreover, this kind of cohabitation must meet the conditions for marriage, that is, both parties have reached the legal age for marriage and both parties voluntarily marry.
Neither party has a spouse, they are not direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations, and they do not suffer from medical diseases that are deemed inappropriate for marriage.
The marriage between your son and Comrade Xiao Lin was neither voluntary nor 20 years old, the legal age for women to get married as stipulated by the country.
And you and your son have not continued to live together, so the de facto marriage does not exist and both parties are unmarried."
Yao Cuihua was dumbfounded. Seeing that Lin Mai could no longer be her daughter-in-law, she turned to the next best thing.
Pointing at Lin Mai with a straight face, he said: "Our family has gone through a lot of trouble. We married a daughter-in-law who doesn't care. She must compensate us. If there is no compensation of two thousand yuan, you just drag me to be shot. I
I can’t just agree to let her go!”
In this era, not to mention country people, even city people don’t know much about the law.
Yao Cuihua only wanted to maximize her own interests, so she was so tough, not knowing that her words would cause disaster.
The young policeman put a straight face on his face and asked: "Comrade Xiaolin is the biggest victim in this whole thing. How can it make sense for you to ask for compensation from the victim?"
If the claim fails, you won't let her go!
If you really dare to do this, you have violated the law. Now we are cracking down hard, so you can just wait to go to jail."
Yao Cuihua was confused and stammered: "My family is also a victim, so who will bear our losses?"
Lin Mai squinted at her: "Whoever defrauded your family of the bride price, you will go after!"
The policeman nodded: "Comrade Xiaolin is right."
Yao Cuihua rolled her eyes and said firmly: "Lin Mai participated in defrauding my family of a large amount of bride price with her parents and sister. Comrade police, you must make the decision for me."
After that, she started her performance and burst into tears.
Lin Mai said disdainfully: "I participated? What benefits did I get from it?"
Yao Cuihua retorted: "Who doesn't know that you and your sister have a deep love as sisters, and you are willing to help her cheat so that she can study!"
Lin Mai spread his hands: "This does not prove that I am willing to help her deceive, it only means that I was also deceived by her.
Otherwise, I would not have revealed the truth on the wedding day that your son and my sister tricked me into marrying me into your family.
Your son acquiesced at that time, and you scolded him in public, as all the folks in the village can testify."
The neighbors crowded in front of the police station were talking a lot: "I heard that I thought Maizi was sick and kicked her out of the house, but now I suddenly want her to come back, and I have made it clear that I want to take money from her."
"That's right, that's right. I asked for two thousand yuan at the asking price. I guess I heard the news somewhere and knew that Maizi was getting rich, so I came to steal the money."
Ever since Wu Xiaoyu and her son appeared in the town, Aunt Wu had been hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement. Then she heard the villagers' comments and ran away immediately.
She wanted to stab Lin Mai in the back, but she didn't mean that she wanted to get into trouble.
No one noticed Aunt Wu until she slipped away. Even if she slipped away quietly, she was still noticed by several villagers around her.
One of the villagers knew that she was Wu Jingui's distant cousin, and immediately lowered his voice and guessed: "Is it Wu Jinhua's letter to Maizi's mother-in-law's family? She and Maizi's father-in-law are from the same family!"
Wu Jinhua is Aunt Wu’s name.
The villagers all nodded: "It's very possible that their family went to the city to grab the wheat business and lost their money. Wu Jinhua couldn't swallow this and borrowed the help of Maizi's mother-in-law to deal with her. She can do this!"
