Lou couldn't stand it and, after being beaten, naturally ran back to her parents' home.
The Lou couple came to settle scores with Ruan Kewei, and Ruan Kewei, taking advantage of having drunk some alcohol, beat up the Lou couple as well.
Once he sobered up, Ruan Hai made him come to apologize, saying that he had made a mistake due to drinking, but there was no actual punishment.
With Nguyen Hai handling the aftermath, Nguyen Kha Wai became even more ruthless and merciless.
At first, the Lou couple tried to persuade Lou to stay away or say some kind words, hoping to find a way to calm Ruan Kewei down. But nothing worked; Lou's injuries only worsened with each repetition.
The Lou couple couldn't take it anymore and wanted to divorce Ruan Kewei, taking Lou Shi with them. Even if they didn't divorce, being divorced by Ruan Kewei was better than being beaten to death.
However, they could not divorce, and the Ruan family refused to break off the marriage.
Who is Ruan Hai? He is the village chief and clan head of Ruanjia Village, and many people speak up for him.
They said it was Lou's fault, that she hadn't had a child after a year of marriage, and that this was going to cut off the Ruan family's lineage. Naturally, Ruan Kewei was unhappy about this.
They said the Lou family was making a mountain out of a molehill. These days, there are plenty of young wives who get beaten by their husbands. Everyone goes through that. Why is it that only the Lou family's daughters are so precious?
They said that divorce sounds bad these days, and even if Lou's parents didn't think about themselves, they had to think about Lou's younger siblings.
They said it must be Lou's fault for not knowing how to win over and please her husband. If she had been even a little more obedient and diligent, Ruan Kewei wouldn't have hit her.
Lou's parents were almost spitting blood, but they couldn't get a divorce. Ruan Hai not only had help from the villagers, but also had connections in the town.
Not wanting her parents, siblings, and other relatives to be implicated, Lou Shi stopped mentioning divorce altogether, and her days grew increasingly numb. However, the wounds on her body never truly healed.
Ruan Chengchun told Shu Yu, "Last time, my wife saw Lou Shi being beaten by Ruan Kewei. She ran to the riverbank and, in a moment of despair, jumped in. If my wife hadn't rescued her, she probably would have been dead."
Ruan Chengxuan mentioned the Lou family because of this matter.
He thought, if the Lou family isn't even afraid of death, why would they be afraid of joining forces with them to deal with the Ruan family?
Shu Yu lowered her eyes, and Ruan Chengqian spoke up, "If we're talking about who can get evidence of Ruan Hai's wrongdoings, it's only the Lou family. We just need to borrow the title of County Princess to give the Lou family some peace of mind."
"That's no problem, but how do we contact the Lou family?"
Ruan Chengqian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I will think of a way to handle this. County Princess, just wait patiently and I will persuade the Lou family."
Shu Yu nodded, and after discussing the matter, the group went out.
Zhang and Wang had already tidied up Shuyu's room. They were just a little puzzled, wondering what the two were talking about, as they seemed quite serious.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Chengqian walked straight towards Zhang Shi and said, "Sister-in-law, there's something I'd like to ask you."
The elder brother just said that last time Lou jumped into the river, she was rescued by his sister-in-law.
The two had some acquaintance, so Ruan Chengqian wanted to find out about Lou's personality so that he could find a suitable point to persuade her.
Before they could finish speaking, Zhang said, "If you're looking for Lou, she's washing clothes by the river right now."
Shu Yu asked in surprise, "Now?"
“Yes,” Zhang said. “She goes to the river to wash clothes at this time every day.”
It's neither too early nor too late, and there aren't many people by the river except for Mrs. Lou, who is washing clothes there.
