My mother had no lover. That man from out of town was just her salvation. That year, my father sold her to a Small Boss for money, making her engage in Pimping. The Small Boss fell in love with her. He said, "As long as you get a divorce, I will give you some money." "You can use this money to live a good life with your children." My mother hesitated because my maternal grandparents did not allow her to get a divorce. My father threatened them, saying that if my mother divorced him, he would kill me and Grandma. My maternal grandparents were scared and had no choice but to sever ties with my mother.
The Small Boss felt sorry for my mother when he learned about this. His love for her transcended money. He didn’t mind that my mother had children. He also didn’t care about what she had done in the past. He helped her with legal matters and assisted her in escaping my father's clutches. However, my father threatened my mother with my life. Fearing for my safety, she had to continue enduring the situation.
The Small Boss gave my father some money to treat my mother well. My father agreed. As a result, my mother had a house in the county town. But this did not mean that she began to live a good life. On the contrary, she continued to endure domestic violence. My father often beat her over trivial matters. To protect me and Mrs. Shen, my mother could only tolerate it. She thought that once I grew up, I could escape this life. But she was wrong.
My father became increasingly twisted. He not only beat my mother but also Mrs. Shen. He didn't just hit them at home; he did it outside as well. He didn't only beat them during the day but also at night. My mother truly could not take it anymore.
She wanted to escape.
But every time, my dad would catch her and beat her even harder.
Later, my dad started hitting me.
My mom was truly at her wit's end.
She could only pick up a kitchen knife and strike at my dad.
I asked the police, "Why can't my mom act in self-defense?"
The police said, "Because your mom wasn't harmed."
"The one who was harmed is your dad."
"Self-defense refers to when you are currently suffering from violence and can retaliate."
"But if you are in a safe environment, it cannot be considered self-defense."
I countered, "Are you saying that one can only defend themselves when they have been harmed to a certain extent?"
"Before that, do they have to be beaten to death even if they haven't done anything?"
The police fell silent for a moment and said, "That's not what I mean."
"I'm just saying that self-defense isn't defined that way."
"Perhaps your mom's defense was excessive."
I laughed, "So what?"
The police frowned, "You seem indifferent?"
I retorted, "Why should I care?"
The police said, "Do you know that excessive self-defense also carries criminal responsibility?"
I asked back, "So what?"
"Are you saying you want my mom to go to jail?"
The police replied, "If the law sentences her to prison, then she must go to prison."
I laughed again, "Then why don't those who hit others go to jail?"
The police said, "Those who hit others can also go to jail."
I questioned, "Then why has my dad been hitting for so many years without going to jail?"
The police fell silent.
I continued, "Aren't you supposed to prioritize evidence?"
"What evidence do you have proving that my mom killed someone?"
"Just because my mom admitted it, do you believe she is the one who killed him?"
The police said, "We have considered this issue as well."
"But according to our investigation, there were only four people in the house at the time of the incident."
"You, your mom, your dad, and your grandmother."
"Your dad said he was sleeping at the time and didn't hear anything."
"Your grandmother didn't hear anything either."
"Only your mother said she saw everything."
"We've investigated, and the water meter at the time of the incident shows that someone was indeed using water in the house."
"This means your mother wasn't lying."
I replied coldly, "So what?"
"On what basis do you think my mom can't act in self-defense?"
"Just because she acted after my dad hit her?"
"Can't she endure to a certain point before retaliating?"
The police sighed.
"What you're saying makes sense."
"But we still can't understand."
"Why did your grandmother have to be killed?"
"As far as we know, your grandmother didn't threaten your mother."
"She just wanted to protect your father."
"In that case, why did your mother still attack her?"
I fell silent.
The police continued, "Moreover, after killing someone, your mother didn't flee."
"This is also why we suspect her."
I coldly replied, "Is this what you call evidence?"
The police retorted, "Isn't this considered evidence?"
I laughed.
"Of course not."
"Haven't you heard of turning yourself in?"
