In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

With Shen Wenjun's persistent arguments, the emperor finally agreed to establish a domestic violence law to protect women's safety.

The Domestic Violence Law was immediately implemented after the draft was finalized.

Not to mention the whole country, even in Beijing, there are many women who suffer from domestic violence. Previously, this matter was a family disgrace and must not be made public. What's more, there is oppression from the men in the family. Many women who can't stand the torture have nowhere to seek justice and have to end their lives hastily. Every case is heartbreaking.

Fortunately, once the domestic violence law was implemented, many women who had been severely abused bravely stood up and, with the help of this domestic violence law, escaped from the place that made them terrified.

Jiang Yiqing also chose to use this opportunity to escape from her husband's family and regain her freedom.

But despite the legal sanctions, some people still don't take it seriously. When Jiang Yiqing learned about the promulgation of this law, she asked for a divorce, but her husband slapped her in the face, "Bah, bitch! You've married into my family, and you're still restless. What? Do you really think anyone will back you up?"

Jiang Yiqing stared at the man in front of him with hatred, and said word by word: "Now you hit me, but it's against the law. If I go to the government to sue you, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble!"

Hearing this, the man standing in front of her became even more furious. Jiang Yiqing was not afraid of him at all. No matter how badly injured she was, she struggled to get up from the ground and stood tremblingly in front of the man.

The man stretched out his hand and was about to hit Jiang Yiqing. At the critical moment, Su Zhizhi's voice rang out from the door: "Stop!"

When the man heard the voice, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then he stared at Su Zhizhi who walked in slowly with hatred.

Su Zhizhi glared at the man, "What were you trying to do just now? Do you know that you are breaking the law by doing this?" As she spoke, she protected Jiang Yiqing behind her.

The man slowly lowered his hand. "Who do you think you are? You dare to meddle with me? That bitch behind you is already married to me. She's my person. Whether I beat her or scold her, that's my business. No one else can say anything. If you don't want to get involved, leave now, or I won't hit you hard and end up hurting you."

After saying that, the man wanted to step forward and pull Jiang Yiqingdong out from behind Su Zhizhi.

Fortunately, the people Su Zhizhi brought grabbed the man's hand and said, "Stop it! If you don't want to go to the government office today, you'd better behave yourself!"

Su Zhizhi took a deep breath. She knew that even if the domestic violence law was enacted, there would still be many people who would not believe it and still want to give it a try, but today she had to take Jiang Yiqing away.

With Su Zhizhi's support, Jiang Yiqing calmed down and looked at her husband weakly but firmly, "I said, I want to divorce you!"

The man saw that he couldn't do anything to Jiang Yiqing today, so he struggled to free himself from her hand. Then he said angrily, "If you want a divorce, fine, but you must leave the house empty-handed! Don't even think about taking a single cent of my property with you!"

Jiang Yiqing widened her eyes and wanted to say something, but when she thought of what she had experienced before, she fell silent, lowered her head, and didn't know what she was thinking.

When the man saw Jiang Yiqing like this, a smug smile appeared on his face. He thought that this would be enough to restrain Jiang Yiqing.

Before the man could speak, Jiang Yiqing raised her head, her eyes filled with determination, "Okay, I promise you, I'll leave the house with nothing. As long as I can divorce you, I don't need anything else!"

Jiang Yiqing actually thought very clearly that she and the man in front of her had no children, which was why the man was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yiqing. However, since they had no children, he could not use emotions to trap Jiang Yiqing to this man.

Furthermore, the man was addicted to gambling and had squandered all the family property long ago. She didn't have much dowry, so even if the property was divided, she wouldn't get anything.

The man immediately quit and was about to go back on his word when he was stopped by Su Zhizhi's men. Su Zhizhi walked up to the man with a look of disgust on her face. "Since she has already agreed to your request, you'd better be sensible. Otherwise, I will hand you over to the authorities today. It just so happens that since the law was passed, no one has actually been punished. How about using you as a warning to others?"

The man saw that Su Zhizhi was not joking, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. His throat rolled and he said in a trembling voice: "Divorce... Divorce... I want a divorce..."

Su Zhizhi was much more satisfied. After Jiang Yiqing got the divorce papers, Su Zhizhi took her people and left the house.

After walking out of the cage that had trapped him for so long, Jiang Yiqing felt a rare sense of relief. Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Jiang Yiqing felt that there was hope for his future.

Su Zhizhi looked at Jiang Yiqing like this and felt that she was completely different from the first time she saw her. Now, she was surrounded by vitality and no longer looked lifeless.

Su Zhizhi walked over to Jiang Yiqing and said softly, "Aunt Jiang, now that you've left that person, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing Su Zhizhi's question, Jiang Yiqing looked at her gently, "Zhizhi, I want to thank you for what happened today. As for the future... I plan to go find your mother first. For so many years, your mother has been alone thousands of miles away, and I haven't been able to help her. I feel very guilty."

"That's fine. My mother misses you so much, so I'll send someone to take you there. I have some things to do here, so I'll come back to see you in a few days." Su Zhizhi said with a smile, then called two people over and ordered, "You two, make sure to send Madam Jiang to my mother. If anything happens, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Meng Mu usually stayed in the yard alone and rarely went out, let alone stepped out of Xie's house.

When Jiang Yiqing came in, Meng's mother was still tending to the flowers and plants, looking very uncomfortable.

"Sister Meng!" Jiang Yiqing looked at Meng's mother's back and could no longer control her emotions, tears welling up in her eyes.

When Meng Mu heard the familiar voice, her body stiffened suddenly, then she turned her head and looked at Jiang Yiqing standing in front of the courtyard gate in the distance.

"Yiqing?!" Meng's mother was extremely surprised. She didn't care that the shower head in her hand fell to the ground, and hurriedly went to greet Jiang Yiqing.

The two sisters hugged each other tightly, "Sister Meng, that's great, I can finally be with you again." Jiang Yiqing hugged Meng's mother tightly, and her voice was filled with tears.

Mother Meng felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay as long as she comes out, it's okay as long as she comes out."
