Chapter 10 Chapter 4: The Bloody Trend of the Sweet "Beijing Marriage"

On March 20, 2007, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court pronounced a verdict on a "son-in-law killing mother-in-law" case that shocked the capital. The court sentenced defendant Chen Wenning to death with a two-year reprieve. Killing his mother-in-law and seriously injuring his wife, Chen Wenning, a promising IT white-collar worker, was imprisoned, and the originally happy family he worked so hard to maintain was broken into pieces.Surprisingly, at the trial site, even though he admitted that he deserved the death sentence with a reprieve, Chen Wenning still refused to repent for killing his mother-in-law, leaving behind a sigh of embarrassment...

A son-in-law came to the door, and the mother-in-law in Beijing fell in love with an IT white-collar worker In July 1998, Chen Wenning, a 23-year-old Hebei youth, stayed in Beijing to look for a job after graduating from a prestigious university in Beijing majoring in computer science.Chen Wenning's hometown is in the countryside of Zhangjiakou, Hebei. His father died young, and his mother and three older sisters barely supported him through college.Four years of university life in Beijing made Chen Wenning fall in love with this international metropolis.After graduation, he made up his mind to start a family in Beijing.

Because of her excellent grades in school and many times of social practice experience, Chen Wenning was successfully hired by a foreign-funded Internet company in Beijing and became a computer engineer.After the probationary period, his monthly salary reached more than 8,000 yuan, and he became a young and handsome white-collar worker in the office building of China World Trade Center.He wants to work hard to move his household registration to Beijing after he has struggled in Beijing for a few years. Not long after working in an Internet company, when his colleagues learned that Chen Wenning was still single, many enthusiastic people helped him match up.However, when some Beijing girls they introduced learned that Chen Wenning came from a rural area in Hebei, and his family had a heavy burden, they quickly lost track of them. In the spring of 2000, Chen Wenning met Liu Hongling, a Beijing girl, through a friend's introduction.Liu Hongling and Chen Wenning are about the same age. Their parents were originally vegetable farmers in the suburbs of Haidian. Due to land acquisition for the expansion of Beijing, their family has become urban residents and has Beijing household registration.Liu Hongling is the only daughter in the family. After graduating from college, she worked as an accountant in a clothing company in Haidian District, with a monthly income of only about 2,000 yuan.

When they met for the first time, Chen Wenning felt very good about Liu Hongling, who was beautiful in appearance and gentle in personality, and he told the truth about his family background.Liu Hongling also fell in love with the talented Chen Wenning, and seeing that he was so honest and kind, she quickly arranged for her parents to meet and have dinner with him. During the dinner, facing the scrutiny of the Liu family's parents, Chen Wenning behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and behaved politely.Liu's parents also raised no objection to the fact that he was from the countryside, so he and Liu Hongling quickly established a romantic relationship.

What Chen Wenning didn't know was that Liu Hongling's mother Wang Minqin had participated in her daughter's previous love affairs many times.Because Wang Minqin thinks that she and her wife have no formal jobs, and will definitely rely on their daughter and son-in-law to support them in the future, so not only must they find a husband who can make money for their daughter, but the most important thing is to recruit an obedient son-in-law.And Chen Wenning, who comes from the countryside, has a high income and looks talented, is undoubtedly a suitable candidate. Liu Hongling has been a dutiful and obedient child since she was a child, and her parents make the decisions when everything happens.In fact, before meeting Chen Wenning, Liu Hongling had been in love with Li Weifeng, a college classmate for a long time.Li Weifeng's parents were ordinary workers in Beijing who had been laid off for many years. After graduation, he worked as a clerk in a public institution with a monthly salary of less than 2,000 yuan.Naturally, Wang Minqin refused to marry her daughter to him, and she broke up her daughter's relationship decisively and rudely.Although Liu Hongling tried to live and die, but in the end she couldn't hold back her mother.

When Li Weifeng learned that Liu Hongling finally found Chen Wenning, he said to her angrily: "You go to your white-collar worker! I want to see who will do well in the future." Liu Hongling thought that Li Weifeng was just talking angry words That's all, I didn't expect that soon after, Li Weifeng really resigned from his work unit and started a company in partnership with others.After that, he stayed away from Liu Hongling's life. On October 1, 2000, at the urging of Wang Minqin, Liu Hongling and Chen Wenning, who had known each other for less than half a year, got married.After marriage, Wang Minqin asked Chen Wenning to quit his rental house in Chaoyang District on the grounds of saving money, and live with his daughter in their government-built three-bedroom house in Haidian District.In this way, it took Chen Wenning more than three hours to go back and forth to work, but considering the kindness of his mother-in-law, he did not raise any objections.At the same time, Chen Wenning believed that he was unfamiliar with people in Beijing, and his mother-in-law's family was his relatives after marriage, so he handed over the financial rights to his wife according to his mother-in-law's opinion, and only kept a little pocket money for himself.Liu Hongling relied on her mother since she was a child, and now she has deposited all the money her husband got back into her mother's passbook.When Chen Wenning figured this out, he felt very uncomfortable, and told his wife that it was enough for them to pay the living expenses on a monthly basis, and there was no need to keep all the money together, which might cause some conflicts.Liu Hongling told her mother about her husband's opinion. Wang Minqin didn't take her son-in-law's opinion seriously, and confessed to the young couple many times: "Your father and I are both elderly people, and all the property in this family will not belong to you in the future. , Why do you share with me. I will help you save the money, not because I am afraid that you will spend it indiscriminately!"

Seeing what his mother-in-law said, Chen Wenning could no longer insist on economic separation.As a white-collar worker working in the CBD business district, he has a lot of social activities, and the consumption level in the Guomao area is relatively high.As a result, his pocket money can generally only last for a week, and sometimes the last time he invites a customer, his pocket money will bottom out.This "problem" was quickly discovered by the mother-in-law, and she asked her daughter to control Chen Wenning's expenses.From then on, Liu Hongling paid more attention to Chen Wenning's pockets. When she saw that there was too much money in his pocket, she took it out, and made up for the shortfall. Generally, it was only kept at around 500 yuan.At first, Chen Wenning felt that his wife was caring about him, and he felt relieved and satisfied.But gradually, Liu Hongling's financial control made him stretched.He asked her for money in private, but unexpectedly, under the instructions of his mother-in-law, his wife not only complained about him, but also reduced his pocket money to 200 yuan.Chen Wenning was very annoyed, because he was under the eaves of another family, so he had to endure it.

The sweetness of the newlyweds passed quickly, and the daily chores became the main content of life.Chen Wenning soon discovered that the situation of the door-to-door son-in-law was not that simple.In this family, the mother-in-law is a nagging woman, and Liu Hongling has poor ability to live independently and obeys her parents in everything.Although Chen Wenning was not used to Wang Minqin's shrewd way of asking about everything, but for the sake of the peace of the family, he didn't want to say anything. In addition, some of Chen Wenning's living habits have become the content of the mother-in-law's frequent swearing.Wang Minqin always criticized Chen Wenning for not sitting or standing.While Chen Wenning and Liu Hongling argued occasionally, Wang Minqin also blindly favored her daughter.This made Chen Wenning feel that he was inferior to others in the Liu family, and dissatisfaction and contradictions began to take root.

Eager to love her daughter, dissatisfaction follows like a shadow under the oppressive roof At the end of 2000, Liu Hongling became pregnant.Under her mother's lobbying, Liu Hongling simply moved to her mother's room and lived in a separate room with Chen Wenning on the grounds of protecting the fetus, which made Chen Wenning very painful.Many times, Chen Wenning wanted to make out with his wife, but he hesitated to speak in front of his mother-in-law, and a sense of loss lingered in his heart. In September 2001, their son was born.Wang Minqin and the old couple were overjoyed, especially Wang Minqin felt that now the old Liu family also had the "incense" to continue the blood, and she made it her own to want the child's surname to be "Liu".The quarrel inevitably began: Chen Wenning thought that his son's surname "Chen" was justified.But Wang Minqin felt that Chen Wenning was too feudal, and the child was their child no matter who had the surname, so the surname "Liu" was better than "Liu".Chen Wenning asked his mother-in-law angrily: Why should he be called feudal? In fact, his mother-in-law is more feudal than him.And the mother-in-law's counterattack made him even more furious: "You are the son-in-law of our family, and you are already a member of the Liu family, so the child must be named Liu." At this time, Liu Hongling was still in confinement, and Chen Wenning had received a higher education after all I feel that fighting with my mother-in-law will make the family restless, which will affect my wife's health.The most urgent task is to find another place to live in the city as soon as possible, and bring his wife and children to live there, so that he can make decisions about the children.

Since then, Chen Wenning secretly looked around Beijing to search for suitable properties.At this time, the wife had already registered for the child, and the child was named Liu Kaixuan in the account book.Chen Wenning thought, when the house matter is settled, he will move the household registration of his wife and children to the new house, and then he will have the opportunity to change the child's surname.However, he never dared to tell the child's real name to his mother in Hebei, so he had to tell his mother that the child's name was Chen Kaixuan on the phone.That day, after hanging up her mother's phone, Chen Wenning stared blankly at the bustling traffic outside the glass curtain wall of the office, and suddenly burst into tears.He didn't understand why he had fallen into such a useless situation? !

During the Spring Festival of 2002, Chen Wenning wanted to bring his one-year-old child back to his hometown for the New Year.Unexpectedly, as soon as he revealed this meaning, the mother-in-law refused very seriously, and said that he took childcare too simply.The rural conditions in Hebei are so poor. Not to mention the heating, there is no running water, and the weather is freezing. What if the child gets sick? !Liu Hongling agreed with her mother's analysis.During the Spring Festival that year, Chen Wenning, who was alone, had to bring a few photos of his children back to his hometown.Looking at the photos of her mother secretly touching her child under the dim light every night before going to bed, and sometimes muttering to herself with sentimentality, Chen Wenning couldn't help but feel sour. Before returning to Beijing, the mother stayed up all night to buy two pairs of tiger-head cotton shoes for her grandson, and embroidered the word "Chen" on the tiger-head.Unexpectedly, a few days later, when Chen Wenning happily changed the child into tiger-toed shoes and wanted to take some photos of the child to send to the mother, the mother-in-law looked unhappy.After the photo was taken, the mother-in-law hurriedly changed the tiger-toed shoes.Chen Wenning didn't think much about it at the time, but he never saw the child wear it again.Once, he specifically asked his wife about it, and his wife told him that her mother said that there is no child wearing such old-fashioned shoes now, and she gave away the shoes a long time ago.Chen Wenning was furious.You know, the elderly mother had her hands pricked several times in order to embroider shoes. How could the mother-in-law treat her hard work like this? ! In March 2002, Chen Wenning found a 120-square-meter off-plan apartment in the North Fifth Ring Road of Beijing, and mentioned to his wife about buying a house.Liu Hongling thought of her husband's hard work going back and forth every day, and more importantly, she thought about the future education of her children, so she quickly agreed.That night, she told her mother about it.After Wang Minqin learned about it, she even offered to sponsor them to pay the down payment of 50,000 yuan.Wang Minqin also asked her daughter to tell Chen Wenning that since the son-in-law gave in on the child's name, it meant that his heart was still with the Liu family, and she naturally wanted to help.Chen Wenning was a little surprised and moved when he found out. However, on the day of going through the house purchase procedures, Wang Minqin suddenly proposed to go with Chen Wenning and his wife. At that time, Chen Wenning sensitively felt that she had ulterior motives.Sure enough, at the scene of signing the house purchase contract, the mother-in-law insisted on writing her name as the owner of the house.Chen Wenning was furious. He felt that he had paid half of the down payment, and he would have to pay the monthly payment by himself. The owner of the property should be himself.He resolutely rejected the unreasonable request of his mother-in-law, and the two quarreled fiercely at the sales site.Finally, Wang Minqin proposed to make Liu Hongling the property owner of the house.Chen Wenning thought that he and Liu Hongling were husband and wife, and this house was their joint property after marriage, and his mother-in-law would have no right to control it in the future, so he reluctantly agreed. Because the time for handing over the house is far away in a year, Chen Wenning feels that there are still long days to endure at the mother-in-law's house.One day, Liu Hongling asked Chen Wenning to take a bath for his son. He casually undressed his son and put him in a bathtub filled with cold water, and then poured hot water in. The child's delicate skin immediately became red and swollen, and he burst into tears.Seeing this, Liu Hongling hurriedly snatched the child out, and blamed her: "What's the matter with you, my son doesn't even feel sorry for you!" Chen Wenning replied coldly: "My surname is Chen, his surname is Liu, how could it be my son! Unless His surname is Chen, so I recognize his son." Liu Hongling was so angry that she couldn't speak, she turned and went into her parents' room with her son in her arms.After a while, Wang Minqin rushed out and shouted: "What, you don't even recognize your own child! You don't even look at yourself! A country bumpkin!" As a white collar of a foreign company, the last thing Chen Wenning wants to hear is that others say he is a bumpkin, not to mention that his mother-in-law's family is not a serious Beijinger.His forehead was congested, and he quarreled with his mother-in-law.In the end, Wang Minqin slapped Chen Wenning hard, and Chen Wenning also pushed his mother-in-law.This was terrible, Wang Minqin sat down on the sofa and sobbed uncontrollably.Liu Fangyong, the father-in-law who had been ignoring their quarrel, saw that his wife had suffered, so he beat Chen Wenning violently.At this time, Liu Hongling, who came out of the back room, not only refused to persuade her to fight, but also stood blankly watching her mother grabbing a mop and chasing her husband again.Chen Wenning couldn't dodge for a while, his forehead was broken by his mother-in-law, and blood flowed down all at once. Seeing that his wife didn't help him, the sad Chen Wenning covered his head and took a taxi to the hospital for bandages.At this time, Liu Hongling followed and wanted to go with her husband, but Chen Wenning said sadly: "You didn't care when your mother beat me, what do you care about now!" Liu Hongling turned her head and went home. This time, the beating and scolding late at night made Chen Wenning heartbroken.Chen Wenning felt uncomfortable and conflicted.He wanted to break up with Liu Hongling, but for the sake of the child, he couldn't be so cruel.Chen Wenning stayed at the fellow's house for three nights before being called back by his wife.After returning home, Chen Wenning proposed two choices to Liu Hongling in front of her parents-in-law, either divorce or move out with separate families.In the end, Liu Hongling promised Chen Wenning to move to the new house that had just received the keys, and Liu Hongling lived with her parents temporarily, mainly for the parents to take care of the children. Don't Know Forgiveness, Breaking Bitterness "Beijing Marriage" Goes Bloody Chen Wenning lives in a new house that has not yet been renovated. He does not even make phone calls to his mother-in-law's house except for visiting his wife and children occasionally every week.At this time, Chen Wenning, who had suffered great physical and mental injuries, was deeply desperate for this kind of marriage in which his mother-in-law was mixed. To get rid of this kind of life, he had to move his wife and children to a new house as soon as possible. In October 2005, Chen Wenning borrowed part of the money from friends in his hometown, plus his own private money, and raised a total of 100,000 yuan to renovate the new house.Just when he was about to move to a new house, his mother suddenly called him from her hometown, saying that she was not feeling well. After going to the local hospital for an examination, the doctor said that it would be best to go to a big hospital in Beijing.The filial Chen Wenning was very anxious when he heard that, and planned to take his mother to Beijing for medical treatment, and also to visit his new home by the way. Chen Wenning told Liu Hongling about her mother's illness, hoping to get some money from the family to treat her mother's illness.But he never expected that Liu Hongling would say coldly: "What does your mother's illness have to do with me, she has no money!" Chen Wenning's heart was suddenly chilled by these words. On the night when he brought his mother to Beijing, Chen Wenning invited Wang Minqin's family to a restaurant for dinner.At the banquet, the mother just saw her grandson, she was very excited, and hurriedly stretched out her arms to hug her, but Liu Hongling walked away deliberately holding the child.The mother burst into tears at that time, Chen Wenning felt very uncomfortable, and angrily scolded his wife: "Is it okay to let the mother hug the grandson?" Unexpectedly, the wife hadn't replied yet, and Wang Minqin on the side said: "The child admits the birth, scaring him What should I do?" Chen Wenning was so angry that he wanted to jump up at that time, his mother grabbed him hard, and advised him with tears: "Mom just look at the grandson, don't scare the child." Because of her mother's face, Chen Wenning didn't He was angry, but that night, he drank a lot of alcohol in an extremely gloomy mood.After dinner, the mother-in-law insisted on carrying the child back to her home, and Chen Wenning and his wife took their mother back to the new house.With the strength of alcohol, the more he thought about it, the more he felt angry. After a big fight with his wife, he fell asleep.When the mother saw that she had caused her son and daughter-in-law to quarrel when she first arrived, she blamed herself and left her son's house silently. The next morning, when Chen Wenning woke up, his mother was gone. He guessed that the sad mother might take the train back to her hometown at this time.Fortunately, he finally found his mother who was queuing up to get on the train before the train left.At this time, Chen Wenning realized that the poor mother had walked for most of the night in the lonely late night, asking all the way from the North Fifth Ring Road to Beijing Railway Station.Chen Wenning was standing in the waiting room and weeping silently. The mother looked at her son with heartache, tears streaming down her face... After diagnosis, Chen's mother was suffering from uterine cancer. The hospital decided to perform an operation immediately, but a deposit of 30,000 yuan was required.At this time, because Chen Wenning had just finished renovating the house, he didn't have much money on hand.He had no choice but to discuss with his wife, but in the end, his wife only paid 10,000 yuan.In desperation, Chen Wenning had no choice but to borrow 20,000 yuan from a colleague before performing the operation on his mother. After her mother was discharged from the hospital, Chen Wenning originally wanted her to stay in Beijing for a longer period of time.But when her mother saw Chen Wenning's situation, she returned to her hometown with tears in her eyes.This incident deepened Chen Wenning's resentment towards his mother-in-law's family, and the depression accumulated for a long time made him gradually become irritable.Out of revenge, he passed on his grievances to Liu Hongling, swearing at her and punching her when things went wrong.As soon as Liu Hongling cried, Wang Minqin knew it immediately, and came to make a fuss again.The relationship between the family is getting more and more tense. Wang Minqin had the idea of ​​letting her daughter divorce, especially after she met Li Weifeng at the end of 2005, this idea became stronger.That day, when Li Weifeng, who was driving a BMW, suddenly stopped in front of Wang Minqin, Wang Minqin was stunned!After chatting, Wang Minqin found out that Li Weifeng married soon after Liu Hongling got married, but divorced again within 3 years. After several years of hard work, Li Weifeng is already a wealthy boss who drives a BMW and has a villa in the suburbs.What's even more rare is that Li Weifeng still misses Liu Hongling. He offered to arrange a better job for her, and gave Wang Minqin his business card for her to pass on to Liu Hongling.Wang Minqin secretly sighed, regretting that she really had no foresight back then and beat the mandarin duck with a stick. That afternoon, Wang Minqin gave Li Weifeng's business card to Liu Hongling. Under Wang Minqin's repeated urging, Liu Hongling got in touch with Li Weifeng.Liu Hongling did not expect that Li Weifeng still had a deep affection for her, not only invited her to some luxury hotels for dinner, but also arranged a good position for herself in his company.Since then, the two began to communicate frequently. On July 25, 2006, Liu Hongling was sorting out the photos on the computer at home. She stared at Li Weifeng in the photos in a daze, but was discovered by Chen Wenning who had just entered the house.Chen Wenning saw that his wife was hugged tightly by a man in the photo, so he kept asking who was in the photo, but of course Liu Hongling dared not tell, Chen Wenning was so angry that he slapped his wife. That night, Liu Hongling took her son back to her natal home.When Wang Minqin heard that her daughter was angry again, she encouraged her to propose a divorce to Chen Wenning. In August 2006, Liu Hongling filed a lawsuit for divorce in the People's Court of Chaoyang District, Beijing, and the disheartened Chen Wenning agreed. On August 6, 2006, Chen Wenning went to his mother-in-law's house to find his wife and discuss property distribution.However, Liu Hongling and Wang Minqin refused without hesitation. On August 7, Chen Wenning went to his mother-in-law's house again and asked his wife to go home to discuss, but was still refused. At 8 a.m. on August 8, 2006, Chen Wenning chose a very auspicious time and decided to have a showdown with his mother-in-law and wife. perish together.When going out in the morning, Chen Wenning put a Mongolian knife on his waist, took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and put it on his waist, and went to his mother-in-law's house again.At this time, it happened that the father-in-law took the children out to play, and only the mother-in-law and wife were at home.Chen Wenning straight to the point said to Liu Hongling: "If you change the name on the property certificate to my name, I will divorce you immediately." Of course Liu Hongling refused to agree. It fell into your hands? Stop dreaming, get out of here quickly!" Chen Wenning waved his fists to force Liu Hongling to go home and change his name. He finally asked his wife with what little patience he had left: "Now tell me, should I go home with me, or listen to your mother?" Liu Hongling's answer was very Simply: "I listen to my mother." Wang Minqin became angry when she heard it, and yelled at Chen Wenning: "Chen Wenning, why did we treat you badly, you country bumpkin, you are really a wolf!" Chen Wenning, who has endured and backed down again and again, feels that he has fallen into the end of the road, and those bitter past events that cannot be recalled are reeling up: marrying a Beijing wife not only did not bring happiness and glory, but made himself bruised and bruised.If he endured it any longer, would he still be considered a man? !Frustrated, he wrapped his left hand around Liu Hongling's neck, and with his right hand, pulled out the Mongolian knife from his waist, and put it on her neck. Blood gushed out of Liu Hongling's neck all at once. Seeing this scene, Wang Minqin was so frightened that she yelled loudly: "Killer, come and save him!" Hearing the shout of his mother-in-law, Chen Wenning let go of his wife, went straight to Wang Minqin, and stabbed Wang Minqin's chest before fleeing the living room. , Then he picked up the kitchen knife and slashed wildly. The blade fell like raindrops on the mother-in-law's head, chest, and face.Just like that, 54-year-old Wang Minqin fell limply in a pool of blood.Then, Chen Wenning turned around and pulled out the kitchen knife, and slashed at his wife. Seeing that his mother-in-law was no longer breathing and his wife was dying, Chen Wenning seemed to feel compassion.After chopping his wife dozens of times, the crazy Chen Wenning finally stopped, turned around and left his mother-in-law's house, and surrendered himself to a nearby police station.When the police arrived, Wang Minqin died of hemorrhagic shock combined with craniocerebral injury after being stabbed in the neck and head, while Liu Hongling was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. On March 20, 2007, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court heard the case. At the scene of the trial, when Chen Wenning saw the old and haggard mother and three sisters in the auditorium from a distance, he pretended to be calm. There was a violent twitch. The court made a judgment in court: the defendant Chen Wenning failed to properly handle marriage and family conflicts, intentionally and illegally deprived others of their lives, resulting in the death of one person and the serious injury of another. His behavior constituted the crime of intentional homicide.In view of the fact that the defendant, Chen Wenning, was able to truthfully confess the main criminal facts after voluntarily surrendering the case, that he surrendered himself, and that the case was caused by family and marital conflicts, he was sentenced to death for intentional homicide with a two-year reprieve and deprived of political rights for life. What is touching is that after the presiding judge read out the verdict, Chen Wenning admitted that he deserved the death sentence with a reprieve.But facing the hostile eyes of his mother-in-law's family, he still refused to repent for killing his mother-in-law Wang Minqin. There must be a degree of tolerance and forbearance.Under the oppressive roof, day after day, the seeds of hatred germinated due to unnecessary concessions all flew into the Pandora's box in the heart of Chen Wenning, an IT white-collar. It was swimming, waiting for the increasingly "prosperous" evil thoughts to be opened. incinerate.Participation and interference must also be limited. Marriage has always been an exclusive territory. How can we bear the excessive participation of the mother-in-law who loves his daughter again and again.In the end, this "Beijing marriage", which was originally a love between a man and a woman, changed its taste and changed its normal direction.As a daughter and a wife, Liu Hongling should have played the role of the balancer in this unbalanced marriage, but she allowed the situation to quickly slide to the opposite of her husband time and time again, causing him to lose his self-esteem and eventually his mind. Even so, even if all the suffering is unbearable, this IT white-collar worker with blood on his hands still doesn't understand: for the harm suffered, forgiveness is more noble than revenge; it is more dignified to take it lightly and start another life again than to avenge shame!The flower of forgiveness that blooms from the thorns always gives us a chance to love again!
