The woman watched as the man walked away, her eyes red with fury as she stood up and grabbed her shoe, hurling it at the man’s head.
While throwing the shoe, she cried and cursed, "Liu Xueliang, you bastard! Am I cursed to have married you? When I first chose to be with you, I came here from BJ, cutting ties with my family, believing you would treat me well. But only after we got married did I realize how much of a scoundrel you are. Your whole family is worthless, forcing me to work like an animal while pregnant. During my confinement, I had to serve everyone, with no one cooking or doing laundry for me. The baby would cry out desperately at night, and no one heard. I am a human being, not some dog in your household, to come and go at your beck and call!"
"Your brother gambled away our savings, and now without even a word, you want to sell our house. You don’t just want to sell the house; you want to drive me out to borrow money from my family. Liu Xueliang, have you no shame? The baby isn’t even one hundred days old yet, and you want me to go back to my parents’ house alone with the child? Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind my back. Neighbors, do you know what he took me to do today?"
Thinking about what had happened during the day, the woman cried even more desperately. The man had already walked away, but suddenly, he turned back. Listening to the woman, he slapped her across the face. Caught off guard, the woman fell to the ground, and the baby also tumbled down due to the shaken balance, making the woman freeze as the child’s cries grew even louder.
Meanwhile, the man started punching the woman relentlessly like raindrops. Gong Mingxia couldn’t stand watching any longer; as he raised his fist again, she grabbed it. The red-eyed man turned and saw Gong Mingxia interfering, and growled threateningly at her.
"Who the hell are you? We’re just having a domestic spat. Why are you interfering? Get lost, or I’ll beat you too!"
Gong Mingxia narrowed her eyes and challenged him fiercely, "What are you afraid of? Why won’t you let her continue? Have you done something unspeakable? Sister, don’t be scared. Tell everyone. If you don’t fight back today, who knows if he will beat you to death when you get home? Domestic violence never stops after the first time. It will happen again and again. Once it starts, it can’t be stopped. If you keep giving him chances, his punches will only become more frequent and severe. In the presence of so many people, he still won’t treat you or your child properly; how do you think he will treat you behind closed doors?"
After Gong Mingxia’s reminder, the woman suddenly raised her head, her forehead, mouth, and arms clearly bruised, appearing utterly exhausted. "He wanted to sell me and the child to human traffickers. I realized something was wrong and managed to escape."
"Meng Xiuying, you slut, how dare you spew such lies! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? How dare you accuse my son — I’m not letting this go," This content belongs to noᴠelfire.net
Just then, an old lady suddenly appeared in the crowd and lunged at the woman on the ground. Seeing the old lady, the woman instinctively recoiled, protecting her child. Gong Mingxia immediately let go of the abusive man, rushing to help Meng Xiuying. But just as Liu Xueliang realized his deeds had been exposed because of her, he swung his hand toward Gong Mingxia’s face...
