Lu Qinghua was not a gentle and kind person to begin with. She argued with her in-laws, but she was outnumbered and outmatched. She had no advantage against three men, and her in-laws even encouraged her husband to take action. Although she was not a delicate woman, she still couldn't beat a man.
Moreover, her husband showed no mercy. Once, he beat her so badly that she vomited blood. She lay in bed for three days without anyone to even sip water. It was her five-year-old daughter who poured her hot water.
Lu Qinghua had thought about divorce more than once, and thought about it every day, but that family disagreed and used their daughter as leverage to prevent her from taking her daughter with her. Although she often beat and scolded her daughter, she was still her own flesh and blood. She was definitely unwilling to leave her daughter with those wolves.
If that family truly loved their daughter, Lu Qinghua could be ruthless. But they only liked their grandson and would beat and scold their granddaughter all the time. Her husband was the same; when he lost money, he would take it out on her and her daughter. Her six-year-old daughter would hide whenever she saw her father and wouldn't be close to her grandparents.
Lu Qinghua had hoped that Lu Jiangang could help her with the lawsuit. After all, Lu Jiangang was a cadre and knew many people. If he was willing to step in, she might be able to leave with her daughter. She didn't want any property, since that family didn't have much property anyway, and she had been supporting the family all these years.
But when Lu Jiangang heard that she wanted a divorce, he scolded her for being unreasonable, saying that since she had married into the family, she should settle down and live with them instead of thinking about divorce all the time. Lu Qinghua tearfully recounted the evil deeds of that family, but Lu Jiangang only called her husband over and scolded him. As a result, her husband agreed to her in person, but when he got home, he beat her, even more severely than usual.
He Hongxia was more humane than Lu Jiangang. She would help her out with some money from time to time. But like Lu Jiangang, He Hongxia did not approve of her getting a divorce, saying it was shameful and she shouldn't cause any more trouble for the family.
With her parents' lack of support, Lu Qinghua was isolated and helpless. She didn't want to ask her grandfather for help, fearing that Ye Qingqing would find out.
She has a sense of shame too. She looked down on Ye Qingqing back then and said some hurtful things. Now Ye Qingqing is a boss's wife, living a life of luxury, while she married a scoundrel and gambler, struggling to make ends meet every day. She hasn't bought any new clothes in years, and her figure is bloated and unbearable.
When she's in a bad mood, she likes to eat, and the more she eats, the bigger her appetite becomes. Lu Qinghua doesn't even dare to look in the mirror. She can't face herself now, so she simply gives up on herself. By not looking in the mirror, she can comfort herself by telling herself that she's not too fat and that she's okay.
But when Lu Qinghua saw Ye Qingqing today, who looked no different from when she was a young girl, she was devastated. Ye Qingqing was doing better than she had imagined, and was even more beautiful than when she was young.
It is said that a married woman's happiness or unhappiness is written on her face, and Lu Qinghua felt that she and Ye Qingqing were the most stark contrast.
Not only did her marriage fail, but her entire life was also a complete failure. And Ye Qingqing saw her at her worst. She wanted to crawl into a hole and her hatred for Lu Qingquan deepened.
Her unfortunate life was all because of having a brother like Lu Qingquan.
If Lu Mo were her biological brother, she would definitely be very happy, just like Ye Qingqing.
Growing angrier by the thought, Lu Qinghua shrieked again, "Stop treating him! What's the point of wasting money? Let him die! And don't even let me know if he dies!"
Lu Qinghua glanced at Lu Qingquan with disgust, then turned and left. She had come straight from get off work without eating, and her daughter probably hadn't eaten either; she had to go back and cook.
