On the day Zhou Ling, Qu Lu and Dai Yanling met, Jiang Baige disguised himself and followed them secretly.

Because it is summer, it is not easy to disguise. Because everyone is wearing cool clothes, it is okay outdoors, but if someone wears a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, and long sleeves indoors, it will be very strange.

Jiang Baige was a little distressed and even considered informing the people in the store in advance and pretending to be a waiter.

Zhou Ling laughed at her for watching too many TV dramas, and Dai Yanling had never seen her before. As long as Jiang Baige arrived early and sat back to back in the booth next to her, and pretended to read a book or look at her phone when Dai Yanling stood up, the other party would not recognize her.

The reason for disguising was that they might meet in the future. If it was someone they had met before, but they pretended to be a stranger when they met for the first time, it would be hard to explain.

Fortunately, Dai Yanling did not ask for a meeting in a closed room, but instead asked for a meeting in the place where the sun was strongest at noon. She also asked Qu Lu and the others to choose a place with large glass windows that overlooked the roadside and where there were many people and it was particularly lively.

Zhou Ling recounted: Because that makes Dai Yanling feel safe.

Jiang Baige asked, is this a common reaction for people who have been subjected to domestic violence for a long time? She took out a small notebook and planned to record it.

Zhou Ling shook her head and said that everyone’s situation is different. She had not yet met Dai Yanling and could not make any rash judgments.

However, she heard that ever since Dai Yanling left home to work, her husband has been looking for her everywhere, harassing her at her workplace, and even threatening to beat her to death... So she prefers crowded, lively and bright places.

According to the arrangement of Qu Lu and Zhou Ling, Jiang Baige arrived half an hour early.

She was holding Qu Lu's recently published book in her hand, and was thinking of asking her to sign it after the meeting.

When I was reading a case of domestic violence in the book, my phone vibrated: [Look outside. ]

Jiang Baige raised her head and saw Zhou Ling through the huge bright glass. There were two people standing next to her, one was Qu Lu, Jiang Baige had seen her in many interviews and was familiar with her face; the other must be Dai Yanling.

Dai Yanling was wearing a hat, so her hair color couldn't be seen. She was wearing a simple T-shirt, sleeves on her arms, casual pants, sneakers, a backpack slung across her body, and a straight body.

When they got around to the main entrance of the restaurant, Jiang Baige could no longer see them.

But soon she heard Zhou Ling's voice: "Three of you. We have reserved a seat in advance...Yes, right there."

Footsteps came from behind Jiang Baige's head. She was so nervous that she could hardly speak. She guessed that Zhou Ling had seen her hair spinning with nervousness. She smiled softly and said, "Sister Dai, please sit by the window."

After Dai Yanling sat down, Jiang Baige also moved inward to the window side.

In front of Jiang Baige was a brunch consisting of vegetable salad, grilled sausage, two slices of bread, eggs Benedict, a few cherry tomatoes and a cup of coffee. She doubted whether Dai Jie could get used to such Western food.

However, from what she heard from the calm middle-aged female voice next door, the orders were all fried, deep-fried, and soup-like foods, and berry sparkling soda.

After the waiter left, Zhou Ling explained apologetically: "Because this is the best and most lively place nearby, and it is also suitable for conversation, so..."

Dai Yanling said, "It's okay. I haven't had a good appetite lately... but you guys are the ones who spent the money."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they got straight to the point before the food arrived.

Jiang Baige held the book in front of her face, occasionally taking a sip of coffee, but her eyes were at the back of her head and she didn't read a single word in the book.

"Lawyer Qu, I know you also have children, so you must understand my thoughts..."

Qu Lu nodded, but said, "But as a mother, I hope I can ensure the safety of myself and my child, rather than putting us all in an uncertain risk."

Dai Yanling did not argue and instead talked about her two children.

She has two children. The eldest daughter, Wang Yu, is fourteen years old this year and attends junior high school in the county. She will be in the third grade starting next semester.

Wang Yu has excellent grades, always ranks among the top three, and receives scholarships every semester.

But Dai Yanling's husband Wang Liang wants his daughter to go to work after graduation, because he thinks "it's enough for girls to be literate. It's useless to read so many books. It costs money, and it takes many years before they can work and earn money. They may even run farther and farther away and even be hard to find."

This is also the reason why Dai Yanling has been working so hard.

She wanted to take her daughter out and send her to school. If her daughter could go to college and find a good job, she would have a better future than her.

Dai Yanling talked about herself - in fact, Qu Lu had heard it all, but did not interrupt her.

She left home to work when she was 16 and met Wang Liang at work. He treated her well at first and they got together. But she was not yet of legal marriage age, so she did not get married.

After they turned 20, they got married, and Wang Liang's true nature gradually revealed itself. He would beat her if he was not satisfied at the slightest thing on the construction site; if she spoke to another man, even if he was a vegetable vendor, he would get angry and beat her.

Later, she was beaten so hard that she had a miscarriage, and it was said that the baby was a boy.

Wang Liang felt a little regretful and treated her better. But he was too lazy and dishonest, so he was fired from the construction site.

He simply took Dai Yanling back to his hometown. Dai Yanling felt that she could make money faster in the city and didn't want to go back, so he said that she could be supported by farming and she wouldn't have to suffer. If she didn't suffer, she wouldn't get angry and wouldn't beat him.

After hearing this, Dai Yanling went back with him.

But after returning home, Wang Liang became even more violent: Dai Yanling did all the work, and he didn't care about anything else but beating people. Moreover, everyone around was his acquaintance, and Dai Yanling had no one to turn to for help after being beaten... Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.

Unexpectedly, not long after she escaped, she was found to be pregnant. She wanted to go back to her hometown to find her family, but she was pregnant. After her family persuaded her and Wang Liang came to find her again, she followed him back.

In the end, he still got beaten.

Dai Yanling had no choice but to ask Wang Liang to go out to work with her. This way she could find a way out, which was better than being lazy at home.

But after giving birth to a child, Dai Yanling, who could not be driven away, became the woman that Wang Liang had taken advantage of.

In those years, Dai Yanling did all kinds of work to support her family and take care of her daughter. She worked as a cleaner, waitress, waitress, dish-washer, vendor... As long as she could make money, she would do it. She had to serve Wang Liang when she came home, but Wang Liang never brought any money home.

When talking about these things, Dai Yanling's voice was very calm, as calm as if she was telling someone else's story...

But suddenly, she stopped talking.
