After the discussion, Aunt Cao and Aunt Xu stayed in the store to clean up, while Lin Minjun brought Yu Caiping out.

When she came out, Yu Caiping was anxious, "Where are we going?"

She was afraid that Lin Minjun would take her directly to her husband and tell him that she wanted a divorce, and her husband would beat her to death.

She was not afraid of her husband beating others, but she was afraid that her husband would get angry and beat Lin Minjun as well. Yu Caiping did not want to implicate others.

Lin Minjun rode her bicycle, turned the car and headed towards the hospital.

She took Yu Caiping to the hospital for medical examination, and got the hospital's diagnosis certificate.

After getting the diagnosis certificate, Lin Minjun took Yu Caiping back to the restaurant.

Yu Caiping was stunned when she received the diagnosis certificate, not knowing what to do.

Lin Minjun went straight to buy bedding and toiletries, set up the warehouse, and told Yu Caiping, "Now we just have to wait for your husband to come to us, and then we'll find a chance to trap him."

Yu Caiping stayed in the restaurant and the restaurant remained open.

On the first night sleeping in the restaurant, everyone went home and only Yu Caiping slept in the bungalow at the back. But she felt that she had the best sleep for the first time in recent years and slept until dawn.

The next day, Lin Minjun came with two aunts to open the door. Yu Caiping felt embarrassed to just stand there idly, so she joined in the work.

Lin Minjun said, "Go and rest. The doctor said you are injured. You should take good care of yourself for two days."

"No, it's not a serious injury. I've suffered more serious injuries before, and I still had to work then. It's much easier now." Yu Caiping smiled and picked up the particularly heavy pot to wash and scrub.

Seeing that Lin Minjun didn't say anything and just looked at her worriedly, Yu Caiping realized belatedly that what she said was a bit -

"Boss, I didn't mean to say that." Yu Caiping said in a muffled voice.

Lin Minjun said: "Sister, you don't have to call me boss. They all call me Xiaolin or Ahjun. If you call me boss, sometimes I don't know who I am calling."

She smiled sheepishly.

Yu Caiping also laughed.

Lin Minjun asked again, "Were the more serious injuries you mentioned caused by your husband?"

"right."

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

Yu Caiping was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, because I knew people who were also beaten up, and they all said that men are bound to be upset when they get home after being bullied outside, but it's nothing, and it's not like they killed anyone anyway."

"It wasn't until I came here that I realized there is another way for women to live." For example, Aunt Cao, Aunt Xu, and Lin Minjun.

Lin Minjun smiled, and seeing that she really couldn't spare any time, she made an agreement with her, "Then I will consider you starting work now, and I will calculate your salary based on the day. After you are officially divorced and take your daughter over, I will calculate your salary based on the month. What do you say?"

Of course it was good. Yu Caiping worked even harder. She was a professional. She cooked in the kitchen and could do all the work in the back of the house by herself. The more she worked, the more excited she became and it felt like she had endless energy.

Yu Caiping lived in the restaurant waiting for her husband to come and see her, but after waiting for several days, she never saw her husband.

A few days later, everyone found it strange. Aunt Cao kept complaining, "Why didn't she come? This is a living person. She hasn't been back since she was driven out that night. Why didn't she come to look for her? Even if a chicken was lost at home, she would still look for it, right?"

Aunt Xu also said, "Could it be that you don't know that he is here? Should we go out and spread some news?"

At this time, Yu Caiping just sat on the chair without saying a word. She looked towards the door and twitched the corner of her mouth.

In fact, how could she not know? She had never spoken to anyone in the capital and had only stayed here.

After waiting for another day, Aunt Cao couldn't help it and said that she wanted to find out what Yu Caiping's husband was doing. Could it be that he ran back to Yunnan?

Aunt Cao volunteered to go and find out the situation. She asked Yu Caiping her husband's name and the guesthouse he was staying in, and then left in a huff.

When she went out, Aunt Cao was full of confidence, but when she came back, she had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

No one knew what was going on. At night, when all the guests had left, Lin Minjun asked about it, and then Aunt Cao told them what she had found out that day.

"I'm speechless, I'm really speechless!" Aunt Cao said with a dark face, "I went there to ask around, but when I first told them my name, they didn't recognize me. I thought I had gone back to Yunnan, so I ran to the train station to ask around. Then I couldn't find anyone, so I went to the guesthouse again. This time I told them my appearance and accent, and guess what happened?"

Lin Minjun's curiosity was aroused. "What happened?"

Aunt Cao made a sound of disgust. "As soon as I said I was from Yunnan, they knew who it was right away. They told me that the man had hooked up with the widow in the alley and went to sleep at someone else's house every night. He hadn't returned to the guesthouse for several days."

Since he didn't go back to the guesthouse, he certainly didn't know that Yu Caiping hadn't returned. Or maybe he already knew it, but he was so focused on the widow that he didn't want to come look for Yu Caiping at all.

After listening to what Aunt Cao said, everyone was speechless! Deeply speechless!

Yu Caiping looked the most relaxed among the group. She took the initiative to say, "I have a way to get him to come over."

The next morning, after finishing work, Yu Caiping went out for a while, which lasted only an hour. When she came back, she said that her husband would definitely come to find her within three days.

Aunt Cao was so curious that she chased after her and asked, "What did you do to make him come?"

It was then that Yu Caiping told the truth: "We came to the capital this time to participate in the cooking competition held by the catering company. Their unit leader said that as long as we can win a place in the competition, we can get salary when we return, and we can also be recommended by the unit to continue to take the chef certificate exam. In short, it is a great honor."

She raised her head and smiled. "For this honor, my husband bribed the judges and knew the test questions in advance. The questions were about creativity and innovation, which meant researching new and different dishes. He couldn't come up with one, so I researched the dishes for the competition. I told the person in charge of the competition about this today, and they said they would investigate and handle the matter."

She knew in her heart that no matter how much you hit a man like her husband, it would not be as painful as destroying his career.

The organizer of the competition acted quickly and gave the result within a day, saying that Yu Caiping's husband was disqualified from the competition, all honors he had won in the competition were revoked, and the matter would be reported to his unit for criticism.

Yu Caiping laughed when she heard the news. "This is a big deal. The company might fire him. He will definitely come to see me tonight."

His wife went missing and he didn't come to look for her. His wife lost his job and he came here in a hurry.

That afternoon, Lin Minjun felt someone was hanging around the restaurant. She knew who it was, but didn't say it.

She knew that the opportunity to get Yu Caiping divorced had come.

That night, Lin Minjun said that she was worried that her husband would come looking for her and that it was not safe for Yu Caiping to be alone there, so she asked her to go back to the courtyard with her and sleep with either Aunt Cao or Aunt Xu.

The two mothers went back early to make the beds and decorate the rooms. Lin Minjun and Yu Caiping lagged behind, walking slowly on the road.

Lin Minjun looked back from time to time, and Yan Li followed behind.

When they were halfway there, someone suddenly turned from the alley beside them and stopped in front of them, panting.

As soon as that person came over, a strong smell of alcohol hit my face. Besides the smell of alcohol, there was also a smell of cheap perfume powder.

He just stood in front of the two people, staring at Yu Caiping viciously.

Lin Minjun recognized him immediately; this was Yu Caiping's husband.

She wondered if this person was looking for trouble because of the report or because Yu Caiping hadn't been home for several days.

Yu Caiping's husband was drunk and immediately pulled Yu Caiping to his side, saying angrily, "You've lost your temper after coming to the capital, haven't you? You haven't been back for such a long time, are you planning to run off with someone else?"

Obviously, it is the latter.

Lin Minjun wanted to deliberately provoke him and was about to speak when Yu Caiping seemed to know something. She shook her head at her and ran to the front to talk to her husband.

Yu Caiping said, "You go back by yourself. I'm not going back."

"What did you say?" The husband raised his hand and slapped her.

Lin Minjun was startled and wanted to go over to help, but Yu Caiping winked at her.

Yu Caiping shook off her husband's hand and said directly, "I'm not going home, you go back by yourself."

She thought about it, then mustered up the courage to say, "Not only will I not go back, I was the one who reported your competition."

Yu Caiping's husband was drinking when he received news that his qualification for the competition was cancelled and he was reported by someone.

He was stunned at the time, and soon received a call from the leader of his unit, who scolded him. After returning to the guesthouse, he kept wanting to get angry and smash things, but he couldn't smash anything in the guesthouse, so he wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.

Only then did he think of Yu Caiping. After asking the staff at the guesthouse, he learned that Yu Caiping had not returned for several days.

Yu Caiping's husband came over and wanted to drag her back and beat her, but he learned the news from her.

Yu Caiping's husband was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry. The anger rushed to his head and he completely lost his mind.

He looked at Yu Caiping with bloodshot eyes, his teeth clacking, "What did you say?"

"I was the one who reported your competition." Yu Caiping said again.

Before she could finish her words, Yu Caiping's husband had already lost his mind. He raised his fist and punched forward, aiming at Yu Caiping's face.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Yu Caiping was terrified. The fist looked too scary. She was hit by the fist countless times and lost her voice. She lay in bed and couldn't get up.

She stayed there and forgot to get away.

When the fist was still one centimeter away from Yu Caiping's head, someone suddenly rushed up from behind and grabbed Yu Caiping's husband's arm.

Yan Li said in a deep voice: "Comrade, let's talk it over nicely, don't use force."

Yu Caiping's hands were shaking. She forced herself to continue, "It's no use for you to scold me. I've made up my mind. We must get a divorce."

She looked into her husband's eyes, her eyes were brave and firm, "You said everything was fine before we got married, but it turned out to be all lies. You also took my job and sent my child away. I don't want to live with you anymore."

Yu Caiping's husband was so angry that he stamped his feet. His hands were controlled by Yan Li, so he couldn't hit anyone. He just kept stamping his feet, "Do you want to die? Have you ever heard that family disgrace should not be made public? You bring up this matter and you want a divorce. If you dare to divorce, I will beat you to death!"

The more furious her husband became, the calmer Yu Caiping became. She kept talking about getting a divorce.

Yu Caiping's husband wanted to hit her until she shut up, but he couldn't move at all. He was so angry that he lost his mind. He turned his hateful gaze to Yan Li and clenched his other hand into a fist.

He actually wanted to hit Yan Li, "I told you to mind your own business, why do you care about our family affairs!"

His fist hit him, but Yan Li did not fight back. He just controlled him and raised his voice and said, "Comrade, I am a police officer. Please calm down. If you have anything to say, please communicate properly. Hitting people is wrong, especially domestic violence!"

"What Gongan Muan, I don't care who you are, get out of here, what does our family's affairs have to do with you!" Yu Caiping's husband was already furious, his eyes could only see Yu Caiping, he stared at Yu Caiping, there was only one thought in his mind, beat her to death! Beat this woman to death!

The more anxious he became, the harder it was for him to break free from Yan Li's control. He got so anxious that he found a stick nearby and hit Yan Li on the head, "I told you to stay out of my business!"

He finds this person annoying!

A stick came down and Yan Li grabbed it and broke it in half, then stepped forward and controlled Yu Caiping's husband.

Yan Li said coldly: "I told you not to hit someone, hitting someone is wrong, but you didn't listen and wanted to hit me. This is an attack on a police officer."

He twisted Yu Caiping's husband's hands behind his back to stop him from hitting her, and then asked, "Come with me to the police station now. Can you calm down?"

"Public Security Bureau?" Yu Caiping's husband seemed to have a bucket of cold water poured over his head and suddenly regained his senses.

Only then did he feel scared, because it turned out that the person he hit was a police officer. This was an attack on the police!

He suddenly stopped moving and quickly explained, "I'm not going to the police station! I'm not going! I'm telling you, I don't want to hit you, I want to hit the woman in front of me, that's my wife."

"Is your wife not a human being? Can you beat your wife at will? She married into your family, not sold to you." Lin Minjun said standing by, "Your wife is also a human being. You said you came for your wife, so you intentionally harmed her."

Another sentence came down, making Yu Caiping's husband dizzy.

He said in a fierce voice, "I didn't hit anyone. That person is my wife. I didn't mean to hit anyone."

To him, his wife is not a human being and can be beaten at will.

Lin Minjun wanted to kick him when she heard this. She sneered, "If someone hits someone, you have to call the police. What do you mean by that? Was it an assault on a police officer or intentional injury?"

Attacking police officers sounds too serious, so beating public security officers should be very serious too, right?

Yu Caiping's husband weighed the matter in his mind and felt that compared with attacking a police officer, intentionally injuring someone seemed much easier. Besides, he did not attack anyone else, he only attacked his wife.

So he weighed the pros and cons in his mind and immediately made a decision, "I intentionally hurt someone, not attacked the police."

Yan Li pulled him up and said, "Come with me to the police station."

Yu Caiping is the victim and she wants to call the police.

When they arrived at the police station, Lin Minjun helped call the police, saying that Yu Caiping was being abused.

Yu Caiping seemed to understand what was going on immediately. She didn't even need Lin Minjun's reminder and went to talk to the police on her own.

After a while, a female police officer came and said she wanted to take a look at the wound.

Yu Caiping first took out the hospital's diagnosis book, then took off her clothes for the female police officer to check. She hesitated for a moment, and seeing that only Lin Minjun and the female police officer were in the room, she took off her pants again.

After seeing the injuries on Yu Caiping's body, the female police officer immediately went out to call a forensic doctor to come and do an appraisal of the injuries.

Yu Caiping's husband was detained, and Yu Caiping received the report receipt.

After walking out of the police station, Lin Minjun put the hospital's diagnosis and report receipt in Yu Caiping's hand, looked at her and said, "This is the last hurdle. If you don't want to get divorced, you still have a chance to regret it. Once you get over this hurdle, there will be no turning back. Think about it carefully."

Yu Caiping looked at the rising red sun in the east and smiled with relief. "No regrets, I want a divorce."

…

Because Yu Caiping refused to reconcile, her husband was detained.

While Yu Caiping's husband was in detention, Lin Minjun began to help Yu Caiping file for divorce directly without going through her husband.

It didn’t matter that they didn’t know how to write a complaint. Lin Minjun thought of her teacher at night school.

The teacher used to study law at the China University of Political Science and Law. Later in the decade, he went to teach at night school.

Lin Minjun ran to the school and told the teacher about Yu Caiping's situation and asked her to help write a petition. The teacher agreed immediately after hearing it.

In that era, people did not understand why people wanted to get divorced. The judge wanted to mediate, but Yu Caiping showed him the hospital's diagnosis and police report, proving that she had suffered domestic violence and could not go on.

After seeing these things, the judge stopped trying to persuade Yu Caiping.

She successfully got a divorce.

After getting the marriage certificate, Yu Caiping borrowed money from Lin Minjun for the trip home and quickly took the train home.

The house they live in now was allocated to her by the work unit and it belongs to her. Yu Caiping went to the work unit herself and expressed that she could take the house back. She would not stay in Yunnan anymore and showed the work unit her divorce certificate.

After dealing with the house, she immediately went to pick up her daughter and brought her back to North City, where they set up home behind the restaurant. Lin Minjun formally hired her to work in the restaurant and even advanced her salary a little, allowing her to take her daughter to see a doctor first. Yu Caiping refused to take any money and only took the money for the first visit.

"I'll take my children to see the doctor once first, and then I can afford it after I get my salary," she said.

When the little girl first came, she was timid and pitifully thin. Her big eyes blinked and she held onto her mother's legs and didn't dare to leave.

Lin Minjun went to buy some delicious food for her and teased her. Soon she stopped being shy and started chasing after Lin Minjun, calling her sister.

Since Yu Caiping came, Lin Minjun no longer needed to work in the kitchen and was solely responsible for entertaining guests and purchasing raw materials.

Half a month later, Yu Caiping's husband came to see her.

As soon as he was released from the detention center, he received a call from his unit, whose leader said that the unit had decided to punish him and that his house had been taken back.

After hearing this, Yu Caiping's husband felt as if he was struck by lightning.

He originally came out to participate in a competition, but ended up losing his wife, house, and job!

After thinking it over, he still couldn't get over his anger and felt that he had to teach this bitch a lesson.

He squatted at the door, not going in, staring at Yu Caiping, waiting for her to come out.

Lin Minjun originally planned to kick her out as a troublemaker, but just as she walked out, Yu Caiping came out from the kitchen.

Not only did she come out, she also held a kitchen knife in her hand and walked up to her husband.

Aunt Cao was so scared that she yelled, "Xiao Yu, you can't be impulsive. You didn't kill him before you got divorced. Now that you are living a good life and finally got divorced, you will go to jail if you kill him. If you go to jail, what will happen to your daughter?"

"I didn't mean to kill anyone. I just went out to talk reason with him," said Yu Caiping.

Lin Minjun was watching in the restaurant. She saw Yu Caiping walk up to her husband. The two of them didn't really fight, they just started talking. But Yu Caiping's husband looked particularly unhappy.

After a while, Yu Caiping's husband ran away in shame, and Yu Caiping also came back.

Everyone went over to see what was going on. Yu Caiping said, "Well, he won't come again."

"What did you say to him?" Aunt Cao asked curiously, "Why is he willing to listen to you? Didn't he want to beat people before?"

Yu Caiping showed the kitchen knife and said, "I told him that we are divorced anyway, and he and I have nothing to do with each other. If he dares to attack me, I will dare to use the knife. Anyway, I have nothing now, and the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."

This time when she went back, she was more cautious. She sold her house and lost her job, but Yu Caiping used her connections to find the leader of her workplace, gave him gifts and money, and begged him not to fire her husband outright, but to send him to the kitchen to wash vegetables or cut chop vegetables, or simply to do odd jobs, and let him do the most basic work in the kitchen.

When her husband came to her just now, Yu Caiping threatened him with his job, saying that if he came to bother her again, she would go to her leader and fire him directly.

In this way, Yu Caiping's ex-husband had to think twice before taking action. He originally thought that he had nothing, but now that he heard that he could still have a job and a stable income when he returned, he became afraid and did not dare to take action.

Yu Caiping smiled and said, "I finally understand. Dealing with a man like him is like boiling water. You have to leave a gap in the pot lid. If there is no gap, he will make a puffing sound and will lift the pot lid off. But if there is a gap, he will not lose everything, so there is no need to be afraid. He is more vicious than me. If he wants to attack me, I am not afraid of death."

Just now, the husband was scared away by the ruthlessness in her eyes.

On her way back to the restaurant, Yu Caiping kept recalling her husband's expression. She suddenly felt that she had been so stupid before.

It turned out that the man she was afraid of before was so weak that he was scared like that by a kitchen knife.

She was so stupid before...

Seeing her like this, Lin Minjun felt relieved and said, "Sister, now you don't have any burdens. Just work hard for me. If business is good, I will give you working capital. You should take good care of the children, save more money, and try to settle down in North City as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"If it were in the past, if you told me that I could work in North City and get a divorce, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. I don't know what I can do after getting divorced. My life now seems like a dream." Yu Caiping sighed.

No matter who Lin Minjun looked at, she didn't feel the same way as Yu Caiping.

That’s right, life is so good now. She never dared to dream of such a beautiful life before.
