The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Shen Zhiheng saw her doubts and quickly lowered his head to explain in her ear: "Torture resistance means shaving off all the hair on the abuser's body!"

Yu Ruyue frowned. "I thought it was a very severe punishment, but it turns out it's just shaving your hair."

Shen Zhiheng looked at her with a gentle smile, "Shaving your hair may not be a big deal in your place, but here, our hair and skin are given by our parents. If a man loses his beard and hair, it is a huge insult to them!"

Yu Ruyue still felt that the punishment was too light, but when she thought about modern criminal laws, she suddenly felt powerless.

The feudal dynasties have been gone for so many years. With the rapid development of science and technology, people's cognition has also been constantly advancing. However, the protection of women and the legislation on marriage have not only failed to improve step by step with the growth of national strength and the advancement of science and technology, but have even been slowly regressing...

How many women are trapped in marriage for their entire lives, unable to escape?

What is a cooling-off period?

It was just a deadline for those men to beat their wives into submission or kill them...

The seventh day has passed, but perhaps the cooling-off period hasn't yet...

Yu Ruyue thought of this and sighed deeply.

Seeing her sudden bad mood, Shen Zhiheng guessed that she must have been disturbed by the man's words just now. He brought the woman lying on the ground to himself. He quickly reached out and held Yu Ruyue's cold hand through her sleeve.

He whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, those things won't happen."

Yu Ruyue looked at him and said nothing.

When Wei Dong heard Lin Yihao's words, he was very dissatisfied. "There are so many things stipulated in the law. How can I remember them all?"

"And where did you come from? What right do you have to meddle in our family affairs?"

Although he didn't care, Rui Niang, who was lying on the ground, heard what he said. She stood up and said angrily, "So the law actually stipulates this. I thought the country really didn't care about the lives of women like us."

"In that case, I will go to the government office to sue you. All the elders and fellow villagers are my witnesses."

Shen Jiaojiao immediately raised her hand and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will be the first to testify for you."

"Don't be afraid. This kind of person only bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as you go to the government, he won't dare to touch you again."

Wei Dong remained calm and sneered, "Go and sue me? Rui Niang! Should I call you naive or stupid? If you really believed what these people said, which woman hasn't been beaten like this over the years? Whose family? My wife was beaten to death, and I reported it to the police. And you're still thinking of reporting it to the police?"

"Don't you think about your son?"

"I am his biological father. Once you report him to the authorities, it will be very difficult for him to get married or find a job. Besides, my son wants to take the imperial examination! If he has a father with a stain like me, I'm afraid his path to the imperial examination will be difficult as well."

Rui Niang spat at him angrily, "You beast, that's still your son."

Wei Dong smiled smugly, "It's precisely because he's my son that I'm warning you not to report him to the police!"

"Don't you really care about your son's life or death?"

When Rui Niang heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes. At this moment, a young man pushed the crowd aside and ran in excitedly with a thin piece of paper in his hand.

"Dad! I found this deed."

"Let's quickly hand this deed over to the prefect so we can sell this shop. When we do, don't forget to buy me a new set of clothes!"

"Just like this expensive dress you're wearing. That's right! I've made an appointment with my classmates to go boating. When we get there, you have to leave me the boat money. And, there's more! Studying is so boring. One of my classmates said he has a way to become an official without studying. When the time comes, you have to leave me that money too."

Rui Niang looked at the paper and immediately struggled to stand up and tried to grab it, "Chen'er! How did you get this deed? Give it to me quickly!"

"This is the only legacy your grandmother left for mother!"

Wei Chen seemed to be completely oblivious to the injuries all over her body. He sneered and pushed Rui Niang to the ground, his face filled with anger: "Whatever my grandmother gave you, it belongs to me!"

"Since it's mine, why should I give it to you?"

"I can spend however I want and buy whatever I want. I don't want to have to look at your face every day. What else do you let me do besides study? You can't even afford me a piece of brocade dress. Even my classmates have said that there are ways for me to become an official without taking the imperial examination, and you keep stopping me."

Rui Niang's face was filled with sorrow. "Chen'er! I let you study hard for your own good! You can't take those crooked paths. If your classmate really had connections, how could his father and brother still be so mediocre?"

Wei Chen roared angrily, "Enough!"

"You just can't bear to part with your money."

"As expected, what my father said to my wife is right. You just can't stand seeing me doing well. You're afraid that if I become powerful, I won't want you anymore. I won't want you anymore."

"That's why you want to keep me in this crappy place forever, to sell that crappy liquor with you!"

Rui Niang wanted to say something else, but when she heard the word "xiaoniang", her face was filled with shock and sadness.

"Chen'er! What did you call that woman? Little girl? She's just a concubine in a brothel. How could you call her that?"

Wei Chen met Rui Niang's extremely sad eyes and curled his lips nonchalantly, "Ha! You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, how could I have become a concubine who doesn't see the light of day?"

"I am younger than you, gentler than you, prettier than you, and more considerate than you."

"If I hadn't existed, Dad would have divorced you, a jealous old woman, long ago to make room for me!"

"And you're actually ungrateful? Then don't blame me for not remembering the mother-son bond!"

After he finished speaking, he took the deed in his hand and walked towards Wei Dong, "Dad! We have finally got all the money from that woman. We don't have to put up with her anymore. Hurry and divorce this old woman and bring my daughter over."

Shen Jiaojiao and Qin Wanrou were so angry at what was happening in front of them that they wanted to rush up and beat up the father and son, especially Wei Chen. He was obviously Rui Niang's biological son, but he couldn't see the injuries on Rui Niang's body at all. He even helped his beastly father to bully the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and called the woman who destroyed his family "little sister".

Yu Ruyue quickly stopped the two people who wanted to rush out.

She looked at Rui Niang staring at Wei Chen, with a look of pleading and hope in her eyes.

She couldn't believe that her own son would treat her like this, and she didn't dare to face the fact that the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to, and raised with all her heart and soul, would actually completely side with the woman of unknown origin who destroyed their family...
