Chu Yanhe actually said to Liu Zhenzhu, "That's how women live their whole lives."
Which man wouldn't hit his wife if Liu Zhenzhu got a divorce?
She had nothing left. Compared to those poor men in the countryside who beat their wives, Liu Zhenzhu's husband was much better.
Ye Zhaozhao recalled the time when Liu Zhenzhu and her man had argued, and Chu Yanhe went to mediate.
At the time, she wondered why Liu Zhenzhu hadn't gotten a divorce.
Now it seems that if Chu Yanhe persuaded her in this way, it's no wonder Liu Zhenzhu didn't get a divorce.
Actually, Ye Zhaozhao doesn't think divorce is that scary.
Rather than facing a man who doesn't cherish you, it's better to take charge of your own life.
Ye Zhaozhao couldn't understand Chu Yanhe anymore, she suddenly realized.
Could it be that Shen Yun's last blind date was also an attempt to please the brigade commander?
The two were talking when someone shouted something.
"Someone fell into the well."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua didn't have time to think about anything else and told the children to stay home and behave themselves.
The two women went to the well, and when they arrived, a large crowd had already gathered around it.
"Make way, make way."
When they saw Ye Zhaozhao arrive, everyone knew she was a doctor and asked her to take a look.
Ye Zhaozhao realized that this was the same woman who had climbed over her wall earlier.
"Sister-in-law Sun, do you know her?"
"Isn't this the child Zhu Cui's family hired to look after?"
Ye Zhaozhao examined her and found that she had only choked on water, so she pressed on her head to help her spit out the water.
After a while, the woman woke up.
She was initially upset that Ye Zhaozhao was ignoring her, but when she heard everyone say that Ye Zhaozhao had saved her...
He quickly smiled and said to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Thank you, comrade, you saved my life. You're my savior from now on. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Ye Zhaozhao was caught off guard, and it seemed that she was a little frightened by her.
The woman smiled shyly, believing it to be her sweetest smile.
However, the woman's appearance was rather rough, and her smile was not only unappealing but also quite unsettling. Seeing that everything was alright, Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua went back.
That evening, Ye Zhaozhao and her family were having dinner at the table when Ye Zhaozhao was organizing her thoughts.
After telling him about the research institute, Gu Yunduan already knew that his wife was not simple, but he did not expect her to be this capable.
Upon hearing that the research institute had invited her to work there, Gu Yunduan readily agreed.
"Honey, don't worry, I'll take care of things at home."
"Yes, Mom, we will take good care of Dad even when you're not here."
Ye Zhaozhao was very moved. She felt that having a man who loved her and these sensible children was enough for her. That was what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, startling everyone.
It's the woman who fell into the well. She came with her child.
Seeing Ye Zhaozhao and the others eating, he took the things out of the basket.
"These are mulberries I found on the mountain for the children to eat. This is mustard greens; you can make dumplings with them later."
Ye Zhaozhao knew that she wanted to thank her for saving her.
"Saving you is a small matter to me; you can take these things back."
"Saving me is a small matter? Then what would be a big matter?"
Without saying a word, the woman left her things behind and told Ye Zhaozhao before leaving that her name was Han Guifen and that she would come again in the future.
Looking at the dark mulberries, the five children turned to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Mom, what is this?"
Ye Zhaozhao then told them it was a mulberry, so they knew it was something to eat.
The five of them quickly finished their meal, and Ye Zhaozhao washed the mulberries and handed them to them.
The five children cautiously put the wild mulberries in their mouths at first, as they were already ripe for this time of year.
It tasted sweet, and soon the children had eaten a lot of it.
But after they finished eating, they found that their tongues and mouths had changed color, so the triplets quickly went to find Ye Zhaozhao.
"Mom, are we poisoned?"
Ye Zhaozhao smiled and said no, that's just how eating mulberries is. Hearing that they wouldn't get poisoned, the children went to sleep reassured.
Two days later, the day for the research institute's seminar arrived. This time, Ye Zhaozhao didn't ask them to pick her up; she chose to go on her own.
She saw Liu Zhenzhu as soon as she got on the bus. Her face was covered in injuries. Hearing Sun Xiuhua say that was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes was another.
Ye Zhaozhao couldn't understand why Liu Zhenzhu had anything to insist on if such injuries could be considered domestic violence in later generations.
"Comrade Ye, please sit here."
There happened to be an empty seat next to Liu Zhenzhu, so she invited Ye Zhaozhao to sit down. After sitting down, Ye Zhaozhao noticed that Liu Zhenzhu also had an injury on her arm.
"Comrade Ye, do you really think women can't get divorced?"
Liu Zhenzhu took the initiative to ask, as she had no other choice but to ask Ye Zhaozhao.
Because Ye Zhaozhao is the most capable person in their family compound.
She believed that listening to her would be the right thing to do. Ye Zhaozhao knew that if she did what Chu Yanhe said...
Liu Zhenzhu might get beaten to death any day.
"Who said that? If things aren't going well, you should still get a divorce."
Liu Zhenzhu didn't expect Ye Zhaozhao to say that; she thought Ye Zhaozhao would also try to persuade her.
After all, that's what everyone thinks; life is all about making do.
"Comrade Ye, are you serious?"
Ye Zhaozhao saw the hope in Liu Zhenzhu's eyes, and then told her about the benefits of divorce.
First, her husband is at fault, so even if they divorce, he will still give her a sum of money.
Secondly, even after the divorce, Liu Zhenzhu can still support herself through her own abilities.
