When Li Yuzhu found out, she couldn't believe her husband would do such a thing. She believed even more that her own sister wouldn't do something so shameful.
The saying "no wind, no waves" is not absolute. In a sense, waves can rise even without wind, and those with ulterior motives can create waves out of thin air.
But the only thing to fear is that there is one person who will believe these rumors, and that person is Li Yuzhu's brother-in-law, Ruo Zhiwei. He doesn't expect Li Yuzhu to understand so quickly.
When Li Yuzhu returned home that evening, she asked, "Dongqing, are the rumors about you and my sister true?"
Dong Qing said, "Wife, you can insult your husband, but you can't insult your own sister's character. I swear to God, I have never done anything shameful with your sister. The rumors outside are pure fabrication. I hope you can believe me."
Li Yuzhu said, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come back to ask you. I would have divorced you directly. The one thing I can't tolerate in my life is a husband with questionable conduct, and I can't tolerate you and my sister..."
Before his wife could finish speaking, Dong Qing said, "Don't say any more. I swear to God, I have never done anything shameful with your sister. Please believe me."
“I believe you, but will my brother-in-law believe me? I’m really afraid he’ll get angry with my sister when he gets home. He’s a respectable man; will he be able to handle it?” Li Yuzhu paused for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, “Let’s not stay at home. Let’s go to my sister’s house quickly. I’m really afraid something bad will happen.”
This is also what Dongqing is most worried about. Unlike him and his wife, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law do not have a deep bond of affection and trust. His sister-in-law has only been married for a short time, and there is really no strong love between them. Any setback could destroy their marriage.
After listening, Dong Qing nodded and walked out of the house with his wife.
The couple drove to their sister's house. As they approached the villa, they heard the sound of things being smashed in the living room. Without a doubt, what was going to happen had already happened.
Li Yuzhu and her husband rushed into the living room, where they were stunned by what they saw. Li Yuqiu was lying on the floor, crying uncontrollably. Her dress was torn to shreds, indicating that she had just been beaten by her husband; the dress must have been ripped during a fight.
Dong Qing was furious at the sight. He grabbed his brother-in-law by the collar and slapped him. Li Yuzhu cried and said, "Stop making a scene! Don't you think this house is chaotic enough already?"
After listening to his wife's words, Dong Qing finally lowered his raised right hand.
Li Yuzhu pulled her younger sister up from the ground, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Dong Qing released her brother-in-law and said, "Let me tell you, Ruo Zhiwei, you can insult my character, but you can't insult your wife's character."
Ruo Zhiwei said, "Dong Qing, there's no smoke without fire. If you and my wife were completely innocent, would there be so many rumors circulating? Don't treat me like a fool, okay?"
Men often act impulsively in this situation. He can tolerate anything except his wife's conduct, which is also the area where he can most easily trust her.
If Zhiwei treats his wife exceptionally well, then he must believe the rumors circulating outside are true. He loves his wife very much; otherwise, he wouldn't have come back and beaten her so badly.
Once something happens, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate; he will never tolerate his wife's infidelity.
If Zhiwei wasn't as trusting of his husband as Li Yuzhu, and Li Yuzhu and her husband had a deep emotional foundation, he and his wife only had love, but no deep emotional foundation.
Moreover, his wife and Dong Qing had been getting so close lately that he had suspected his wife and brother-in-law of having an affair, though it was just a suspicion before.
People tend to think about whatever illness they have, and he had this suspicion in his mind long ago. With so many rumors circulating outside, he had no reason not to believe them.
Because Dongqing's help to his wife went far beyond that of relatives; he would only help her in that way if he had an affair with his sister-in-law.
It's obvious. Any normal man would think this way, no matter how good his relationship with his wife is.
When it comes to a wife's behavior, inner demons often truly overshadow the wife's true feelings and tend to guide the husband's thinking in the right direction.
Li Yuqiu cried and said, "I never thought you were this kind of person. You beat your wife to death just because of some rumors. Let's get a divorce. I, Li Yuqiu, can't live with someone like you for even a day."
In the heat of the moment, neither was afraid of the other. Ruo Zhiwei said, "Don't try to scare me with divorce. Divorce is divorce, I may be poor, but I have my pride. I can't live without you, Li Yuqiu."
Dong Qing and his wife never expected things to escalate to this point. Li Yuzhu said, "Zhiwei, sometimes what you see isn't necessarily true, and what you hear is even less likely to be true. Are you really going to believe all the rumors circulating outside?"
Ruo Zhiwei took out three photos from his pocket and handed them to Li Yuzhu, saying, "I wouldn't believe it if it were just rumors. Look at these three photos; they show the good deeds your husband and his sister-in-law did."
Li Yuzhu took the photos with a puzzled look and looked at them. All three photos were taken in the same place, and they were all taken while sitting on a bench in the woods.
In the first photo, Li Yuqiu rushes into Dong Qing's arms, and Dong Qing reaches out to hug her, in a posture that is about to embrace her.
The second photo is very clear: Dongqing hugs his sister-in-law and kisses her directly.
The third photo shows the moment Li Yuqiu opened Dongqing's mouth.
After seeing the photo, Li Yuzhu looked at it in disbelief and showed it to her husband. Tearfully, she said, "I never imagined my husband was this kind of person, and I never imagined my own sister would stoop to this level. Look at this for yourself. I'm not saying anything more. Let's get a divorce tomorrow."
After Dong Qing took the photos and looked at them, he was so angry that he wanted to curse. After seeing them, he understood everything. The woman who bumped into him in the park a while ago was a conspirator. Her purpose was to take photos to frame him and his sister-in-law.
These three photos were taken really fast; they were taken in a maximum of two seconds.
Dong Qing said, "Ruo Zhiwei, are you going to hit your wife just because of these three photos?"
Ruo Zhiwei said, "Isn't that enough? Do I have to catch you in the act before you'll admit it?"
Li Yuqiu snatched the photo from her brother-in-law's hand. After looking at it, she was furious. She cursed, "Damn it! Who hurt me like this? Ruo Zhiwei, who gave you this photo?"
Ruo Zhiwei said, "Does it matter where the photos came from? What matters is that you and my brother-in-law did everything. I never thought my wife was so shameless."
"Ruo Zhiwei, you're a complete bastard!" Li Yuqiu paused for a moment, then cried, "I never imagined that there wouldn't even be this much trust between us as husband and wife. I don't want to explain myself to you; someone like you doesn't deserve my explanations. You're not worthy of being my husband, Li Yuqiu's husband. Let's get a divorce tomorrow."
"You said it yourself, I won't be staying home tonight."
After finishing his sentence, Ruo Zhiwei went into the bedroom, packed his luggage, and then walked to the living room, saying, "Li Yuqiu, I'll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you won't break your promise."
After finishing his sentence, Ruo Zhiwei picked up his suitcase and walked out of the villa.
