"What a coward, he doesn't deserve to be a man. All he does is beat his wife and children. Lu Qinghua is at least somewhat kind-hearted, having supported their family for seven years. It's only because she has no family connections that she's allowed to be treated like this. Otherwise, what parents would let their daughter be humiliated like this?"

“She has connections on her mother’s side. I’ve seen her mother-in-law a few times, and she doesn’t seem easy to get along with. Moreover, Granny Jiang said that her in-laws are high-ranking officials with very good conditions. I guess Lu Qinghua isn’t her biological daughter, otherwise how could she just watch her suffer without doing anything about it!”

"Then it must be adopted, no doubt. How could biological parents be so heartless?"

...

The neighbors were gossiping, their voices growing louder and louder. They didn't take the Jiang family seriously at all; they were already fed up with them. They were even somewhat pleased that Jiang Xingzhi had gotten into trouble. It was better that such scum was dead; he was of no use to society.

Ye Qingqing rolled up Lu Qinghua's sleeves again, revealing that his arms were covered in scars, both new and old, including several bloody knife wounds with bloodstains that had not yet dried.

"You beast! You were making all those promises just now, and then you turned around and started hitting me. I should never have let you two talk; I should have just gone to court to get a divorce!" Ye Qingqing cursed angrily.

“I wanted to have a proper talk with him and part ways amicably, but I don’t have 500,000 yuan to give me… but he wouldn’t listen to me at all. He threatened to strangle me as soon as you left…”

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Lu Qinghua's mind became much sharper, and she cooperated with Ye Qingqing in their acting, perfectly portraying the character's weakness, grievance, pain, and anger.

"Can't you call for help? We're right downstairs," Ye Qingqing said deliberately.

“I couldn’t scream. He was choking me. I had no choice but to grab the knife. I didn’t mean to kill him… but if I hadn’t grabbed the knife, I would have been strangled to death… Big brother and sister-in-law, if I die, please take care of Yin Yin. Just give her something to eat. Yin Yin is easy to take care of…”

Lu Qinghua's acting was phenomenal, even better than an Oscar-winning actress. Several soft-hearted neighbors were moved to tears by her performance, their eyes reddening, and their sense of justice overflowing.

"This should be considered legitimate self-defense, right? I saw a case in Legal Weekly last time that was similar to Yin Yin's mother's. In the end, she was convicted of excessive self-defense and only served a few years in prison, not the death penalty," someone said loudly.

“I’ve seen it too. He was sentenced to three years and has already been released.”

People sympathize with Lu Qinghua. Marrying the wrong person is a woman's greatest tragedy. The man Lu Qinghua married can be described as the worst kind of scumbag. No wonder she was forced to fight back. The most pitiful one is the child.

Yinyin was incredibly unlucky to be born into this family. Fortunately, Lu Qinghua is a responsible mother. If it were some other woman, she wouldn't be able to bear it and would abandon the child and run away, leaving the child to suffer alone. That would be a real tragedy!

Hearing the neighbors' chatter, Ye Qingqing relaxed a lot. Public opinion was also very important. The police would definitely go to the neighbors to investigate. The neighbors were basically on Lu Qinghua's side, which was very important.

She walked over and checked Jiang Xingzhi's nose, which looked like a corpse. There was still a faint breath. She shouted, "He's still breathing! He's not dead!"

Lu Mo walked over at the right time and felt Jiang Xingzhi's carotid artery. Although the pulse was weak, it was not to the point of near death. Moreover, after checking, he found that although Jiang Xingzhi looked badly injured, none of the injuries were fatal. As long as he received timely treatment, he would definitely not die.
