"Does that mean you're not doing housework, but working as a maid at home?" Li Aimei mocked. "Then you're at a disadvantage. I eat meat every day at your house, while you have to count the bean sprouts you eat at home."

"You..." The woman from the compound was so angry that her face turned green: "I'm doing this for your own good, and you don't appreciate it."

Li Aimei was not to be trifled with: "You're not my mother, why should you be nice to me? You're just jealous because I'm living the good life at my sister-in-law's house, and you want to take my cricket away so you can curry favor with her, right?"

The woman from the compound couldn't argue with Li Aimei and, not wanting to join her, turned around and went to queue at another window.

Later, she and her other sisters-in-law gossiped behind her back, saying that Li Aimei was stupid and whoever married her would be unlucky.

Li Aimei was unaware of this, but Yun Jin happened to overhear it while she was out for a stroll.

Yun Jin didn't say anything and walked over directly: "Sister-in-law, are you talking about Li Aiguo's sister, Li Aimei? She's beautiful, educated, and has a brother who dotes on her. She's also hardworking and polite. No man would be blind enough not to marry her."

"However, whether or not you marry him isn't up to you. It depends on whether Aimei is willing." Yun Jin chuckled. "Anyway, I think Aimei definitely won't marry a man who likes to beat his wife after drinking a little. Don't you think so, Sister-in-law Lin? That injury on your face, was it from Battalion Commander Lin?"

Before Sister Lin could explain, Yun Jin covered her mouth in surprise: "Sister Lin, you've suffered so much. Should we go talk to the political commissar? How could he hit his wife? A wife is meant to be pampered, not beaten. Sister Lin isn't unable to get married, how can she suffer this injustice?"

Sister-in-law Lin instinctively covered the injury on her face. She had just told the other sisters-in-law that she had bumped into something by accident, but Yun Jin had exposed her.

Everyone had been watching but hadn't said anything, but Yun Jin was so blunt, that they stopped pretending.

They all chimed in, saying that men should never be spoiled.

In particular, Yun Jin's resounding statement: "Domestic violence, once it happens, will happen countless times. If you slap someone in the face today, you'll beat them to death tomorrow!"

Sister-in-law Lin: "......"

Is it...is it that serious?

It's just a few hits, just bear with it and it'll pass.

The gossiping housewives: "......"

That makes some sense.
