After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

On the fifth day of the complaints department's rectification, Chen Hong took a leave of absence.

Zeng Li thought about what happened at her home and decided to go check it out after get off work.

I waited for a whole day but didn't receive any news of Lei Guofu's death. I was a little disappointed.

"This Ji family is no good!!!"

Jinbao is considerate and advises Zeng Li from another perspective.

"Mom, it's better not to do that. City D and the drug trafficking village are not far away from taking action."

Zeng Li was not so optimistic. The Ji family might have taken the lion's share of the money, but the managers of these two places must have grown up. Without the Ji family, their influence in the local area would not be easily shaken, especially that village, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Let's go to Chen Hong's house first to see what's going on."

Zeng Li took Yi Xian, the center forward, to Chen Hong's house.

Jinbao still went to the drug trafficking village to stake out.

When I got downstairs, I saw a few women of the same age as Chen Hong, holding their children and... watching the fun?

There were also some grandmothers playing with their children nearby.

"Chen Hong may have found a lover, so she has the nerve to divorce now. She endured the beatings before."

Zeng Li didn't know how to describe this person. He was sloppy, wearing pajamas, pants and slippers. His hair looked like he hadn't washed for many days, and there was eye mucus in the corners of his eyes. Most importantly, the child was not very clean either.

Look away.

Winked at the center forward.

Continue to stand in the crowd and listen.

Chen Hong seems to have a very bad reputation.

It's all just sarcastic talk.

Zeng Li observed their expressions. Being beaten... was normal? Was domestic violence commonplace in this day and age? She began to wonder if she knew too little...

Chen Hong saw the center forward and hurried out of the door.

Sure enough, I saw Zeng Li in the crowd.

He lowered his head, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, and did not move forward, not even having the courage to say hello.

I remembered what Zeng Li in the office said, that I should take care of things at home, but I couldn’t handle it at all.

Zeng Li walked out of the crowd.

I looked at the onlookers.

His eyes were fixed on the first person who spoke nonsense.

"Do you love the baby in your arms? It seems to be a girl."

Cai Lai ignored Zeng Li, hugged the child tightly and moved away, as if Zeng Li was a human trafficker.

This detail proves that she at least cares about her child.

What a contradiction...

"Do you want to fight for it? You can stay at home to take care of your children and receive subsidies even if you don't have a job, instead of just asking for money. Or even choose to go out and find a job when your children need you the most, and miss your children's growth."

“Do you know why it can’t be done?”

Zeng Li withdrew her gaze from Cai Lai and scanned everyone's faces.

"Because you are holding yourself back."

"As women, you are denying women and limiting their possibilities."

"If women had a say and their status was elevated, you wouldn't be left without the right to go to school, without the right to object to marriage, without the right to stop domestic violence, and even without the right to initiate divorce."

Zeng Li asked sincerely, "Is divorce something shameful? Why start a rumor right away?"

"Chen Hong doesn't want to live this kind of life because she was beaten. What's wrong with that?"

"When you were beaten, did you ever think that your husband could answer the phone, or that a neighbor could hear the noise and come to help, or that your children could protect you? What were you thinking when you were beaten?"

Zeng Li's voice became louder, and someone recognized her.

"It's obviously men who are making things difficult for you, but you choose to make things difficult for people of the same sex."

The center forward dragged the man out and said, "Leader, I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He's gone crazy when he saw me. He's been bumping around the room, covered in injuries."

Chen Hong laughed out loud.

They rolled up their sleeves and started fighting. If a man dared to move, the center forward would pretend to stop the fight and hold the man down so that Chen Hong could beat him.

Chen Hong kicked him a few more times when she was tired.

"I've finally waited for this opportunity."

I just turned around and saw my mother-in-law in the crowd, and squatted down and cried.

Zeng Li has investigated and knows something.

Chen Hong didn't want to divorce because her mother-in-law was so good to her. She was one of seven children in her original family and had never been loved. If it weren't for her excellent grades, she wouldn't have been able to finish her studies.
