In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Section Chief Xing and Secretary Chang chatted quietly for a few more minutes before Section Chief Xing got up and left.

On the other side, Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu left the mine manager's office and headed straight for the Women's Federation. As soon as they sat down, they stayed still, sprawled out in their chairs, each more relaxed than the last.

Seeing this, several middle-aged women laughed and asked, "What delicious food did you eat for lunch that made you look like this?"

Luo Yu waved his hand, "We didn't eat much, just three big meat buns, a big bowl of mutton soup, and a plate of fried fish each. We didn't finish the fish, so we took half back for dinner."

Luo Yu only ate two meat buns, giving the last one to Xi Beizhan. Even so, she was still stuffed. Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh that the state-run restaurants these days were really conscientious, making such large meat buns. If this were in later generations, two of them wouldn't be as good as one.

The two women tacitly avoided mentioning that they had gone upstairs to the mine manager's office. It wasn't that they couldn't talk about it, and there wasn't any secret. The women weren't gossipy either. The key issue was that their frequent visits to the mine manager's office would have a negative impact and could easily make petty people think they were showing off, which would then cause them to hold a grudge.

It's hard to guard against a villain, so it's best to be careful.

As the group chatted, Xi Beizhan was called away by Section Chief Xing, who had a lot of things to do in the security department.

Not long after Xi Beizhan left, a woman came into the Women's Federation office crying and knelt down as soon as she entered.

Luo Yu was startled and quickly got up to help the person up.

"What's going on? Why are they kneeling? The People's Republic of China has been established for so many years, this isn't allowed anymore. Isn't this making us make a mistake?"

Luo Yu helped the woman sit down in a chair next to him and poured her some water. The woman took the water, her eyes red, and said thank you.

Only then did Luo Yu notice that the woman's outstretched arm was covered in bruises.

Luo Yu's eyes narrowed.

Is this a case of domestic violence?

Several middle-aged women with sharp eyes also noticed the scars on the woman's arm. They exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.

Another person with a tragic fate!

After drinking the water, the woman finally recovered after a while and looked at the older women and Luo Yu with a sorrowful expression.

"My surname is Miao, and my name is Miao Xiaohua. I am the fifth child in my family. I have five sisters, and I am the youngest."

In 1949, I married Lü Dali from the same village, and the following year I gave birth to a daughter.

My husband and I had a good relationship. We grew up in the same village and had a good bond.

But in 1953, Lü Dali came to the city and started working at our Wulong Mine. I followed her, and after giving birth to five more daughters, Lü Dali stopped being able to handle me.

At this point, Miao Xiaohua started crying again.

“Lu Dali is a bastard. He said that I failed to give him a son and cut off his family line, so he found a mistress outside.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu and the other women were taken aback and stood up.

"What? He found a younger woman?"

Luo Yu looked at Miao Xiaohua in shock.

Miao Xiaohua nodded, crying, "It's true, I'm not lying. He kept a mistress outside, and she even had a son with him."

The women were furious.

If this is true, then we're in big trouble!

Finding a mistress right under the noses of the Women's Federation at Wulong Mine shows that they haven't done their job properly. Not only will they be held responsible, but even the mine manager and secretary might have to take responsibility.

Aunt Zhang slammed her hand on the table in anger, “How dare he? What era are we living in? He’s still practicing that feudal practice of taking concubines? What does he think of the law?”

Aunt Liu was breathing heavily with anger. "He... he really found a younger woman?"

Miao Xiaohua nodded. "It's true."

Aunt Hu was so angry that her hands were trembling. "You can't lie about this, the consequences will be very serious."

Miao Xiaohua cried loudly, "I know what the consequences will be if this gets out, but I have no other choice. If I don't come to you, my daughter and I won't be able to survive."

Miao Xiaohua was crying uncontrollably. Seeing that Miao Xiaohua's face was red and she was about to faint, Luo Yu was afraid that something bad would happen, so he quickly went over and patted her back. "Don't get excited. Come on, breathe with me. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Don't rush."

More than three minutes later, Miao Xiaohua felt a little better and looked at Luo Yu gratefully, "Thank you."

Luo Yu waved his hand and wiped away his cold sweat. "It's good that you're alright."

If something really happens in their office, none of them will escape punishment. Fines are one thing, but they'll also bear responsibility, and her promotion to deputy director might even fall through.

Miao Xiaohua took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

"After I gave birth to my third child, I noticed something was wrong with him. He was always running around outside, never home. Sometimes he would come back in the middle of the night, and sometimes he wouldn't come home at all. When I asked, he would say he was working overtime."

At first, I didn't suspect him. But one time, my eldest child went out to play and hadn't come back by night. I went out to look for him and ran into his colleague on the way. I was wondering why he wasn't working overtime.

I went over and asked him, but I didn't mention that he was working overtime. I just asked him what he had been doing.

His colleague said he had just finished eating and was taking a walk, and asked why Lao Lü hadn't come out for a walk with me. I knew something was wrong.

Later, I secretly followed him twice and discovered that he wasn't working overtime at all; he had gone to that little bitch's place.

I was completely stunned. I didn't understand why he treated me like this. Apart from not being able to give him a son, what had I done to wrong him?

I take care of everything, both inside and outside the house. I even brought his parents to the city for medical treatment and care, and I saw them off in their final days.

When he came back, I asked him about it, and he said that I couldn't give him a son and that he wanted one.

I told him I could still have children, and that he should break up with that other woman.

At that time, I still wanted to live a good life with him and never thought of reporting him. He also said that he would break up with me and asked me to give him time.

That's twelve years! Twelve years!

Miao Xiaohua thought of her lost youth and the suffering she had endured, and burst into tears again.

Luo Yu looked at Miao Xiaohua with sympathy and handed her a towel.

Aunt Zhao's eyes also reddened. "Don't cry. You still have children to take care of. What will happen to the children if something happens to you?"

After saying that, Aunt Zhao paused for a moment before realizing that Miao Xiaohua's eldest daughter was nineteen years old this year, and the youngest was probably about to start school.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Luo Yu quickly asked, "So, your arm... was it from him?"

Miao Xiaohua nodded. "It was him who hit me. He's hit me more than once. Every time he tries to force me to get a divorce, but I'm just a woman from the countryside. I haven't worked for so many years. How am I supposed to work? If I don't work, how am I supposed to support my child?"

My youngest daughter is only in elementary school this year, and my eldest daughter is getting married soon. We all need to spend money!

I didn't want a divorce, but he disagreed, so he hit me.

Luo Yuping hates mistresses and domestic violence more than anything else in her life, and this Lü Dali really embodies both.
