After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige couldn't see what was happening over there, so she had to keep leaning back.

A waiter passing by saw her and asked with concern: "Miss, is the chair uncomfortable? Do you need help?"

Jiang Baige hurriedly sat up and waved her hand: "No, thank you... just now... just now I was looking for something."

As I was distracted, Dai Yanling's voice was heard again from the other side.

When she spoke again, there was a tearful tone in her voice and she said thank you again. Jiang Baige guessed that she was crying.

"I had lost hope at that time. I thought my life was a rotten one, so I just let it go... Then my son was born."

After their son was born, Wang Liang was indeed nice to her for a while.

It's not that he loves her so much, but at least he doesn't hurt her all over. Dai Yanling thought that her hard days were finally over.

Just like what the older women I met at work said - "Who hasn't been beaten by their man?" "Just bear with it and it will pass..." "Give birth to a son... Men hope for a son, giving birth to a son will be enough!"

She gave birth to a son, and her life really got better.

But his son hadn’t been weaned yet, so Wang Liang started again…

He didn't know when he got involved in gambling. In the past, he just played cards with his fellow workers to kill time, but now he gambles more and more.

Every time he lost a bet, he would beat Dai Yanling, snatch the money she had saved and use it for gambling.

But he also knew that if he beat Dai Yanling to death, he would have no way to make money, so he never hit her in the face, nor did he beat her to the point where she could not move.

Dai Yanling was beaten, but she had to continue working. Her body could not bear it and she could not do many jobs. If she did not earn enough, she would be beaten more.

Sometimes she really wanted to die, but when she thought of her two children, she couldn't bear to do it.

Finally, Wang Liang owed a lot of gambling debts, so he took Dai Yanling and his son and hid back in his hometown.

"What about your daughter?" Zhou Ling asked curiously.

"To be honest, I didn't want my daughter to see her father beating me, so when I went out to work, I left her in the care of my parents."

This is even stranger.

Zhou Ling asked again: "Since Wang Liang doesn't care about his daughter, and your daughter lives with your parents, why did she go to Wang Liang's place..."

"He doesn't care about his daughter, but I do! I missed my daughter all those years, so after I went back, I asked her if she was willing to live with me. She said yes, so I took her in..."

Returning to the countryside and staying away from those bad friends did not make Wang Liang a better person. He even became more violent.

Finally, a year ago, Dai Yanling was completely disappointed in him.

Taking advantage of the fact that he used her money to gamble again, Dai Yanling abandoned her two children and left Mang County.

This time, she no longer worked in the towns around Mang County, but took her remaining savings and took several buses to Anjing.

When she first arrived in Anjing, she had no money, so she started by picking up scraps.

She didn't know that there were territories for scavenging, and even time periods in the community. But she had no territory, and no connections, so she sneaked around picking up trash in various communities when everyone was asleep.

While talking about picking up trash, she was eating the pan-fried salmon that Qu Lu ordered for her.

She realized the disharmony and felt a little embarrassed, so she grinned, like a red wound on her dark face.

But her face was clean and her smile was warm, and she had dignity at this moment.

Dai Yanling, a ragpicker, even has a dream. She hopes to make money in Anjing, send her children to college, let them work in big cities, and get rid of the shadow of the past.

Later she found a job as a housekeeper.

She was quick and skillful, had a simple personality, and had a good reputation, so she soon had a lot of work.

The company also arranged collective dormitories for them, and they only had to pay a symbolic amount of accommodation fees.

The colleagues are all very nice. Some of them who do not live in the dormitory will bring the leftover food from home and share it with them.

For the first time, she saved her own money and even opened a bank card to accumulate some savings.

“Those were the happiest days of my life.”

But good times never last long. Wang Liang finally showed up and even made a scene in the dormitory.

One night, he broke into Dai Yanling's dormitory, picked up the thermos beside the bed, and poured the water on Dai Yanling.

Dai Yanling’s roommate quickly called the police and an ambulance.

Fortunately, the water splashed on her arm and was not boiling, but even so, it still kept her from working for a long time.

What’s more troublesome is that because of the unstable factor Wang Liang, the company fired her.

After this incident, Dai Yanling became completely disillusioned with Wang Liang and decided to divorce him.

"Then she found me." Qu Lu took over the conversation, "I contacted the Women's Federation for her, found volunteers, applied for a personal protection order for her, and found her a new place to live...but the problem is..."

Qu Lu stopped talking, and Dai Yanling also stopped talking.

They didn't say anything, so Jiang Baige guessed what happened: Wang Liang used the child to threaten Dai Yanling and refused to let her divorce.

Of course Zhou Ling knew this, but her role today was "impulsive newcomer", so she had to use a more direct approach to force out Dai Yanling's true thoughts.

"But, Sister Dai, he beat you in the past, and you gave him chance after chance, but you only got beaten even worse... Now, he's throwing hot water on you, so what will happen in the future? What will happen?"

Dai Yanling stopped talking.

Others have told her this many times, and she knows it herself, but she has no choice.

Her child was in that man's hands, what could she do?

Jiang Baige was separated from them by the back of a tall leather sofa and could not see what was happening over there. If they didn't talk, it would make almost no difference whether there was anyone sitting next to them or not.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Baige heard a slight sobbing sound.

Very low, as if suppressed in the heart, or as if covered with a quilt. Dai Yanling tried hard to suppress herself, just like the past twenty years.

She had actually known Wang Liang for more than twenty years. Except for the initial period of their love, she was not beaten or scolded. But in the days that followed... she was abused for nearly twenty years.

Jiang Baige thought of the characteristics of women who suffered domestic violence that Qu Lu wrote about in his book.

At that time, those were just words in a book, and what they actually were was entirely up to Jiang Baige's imagination.

But now, right next to me, there sat a woman who had been abused for nearly twenty years. She had escaped time and again, and returned time and again. She finally decided to divorce out of despair, but now she was in hesitation...

If she had only seen it in a book, she would have been furious and scolded you for not fighting back, why couldn't you be braver! Love yourself more! Why are you so cheap! Can't you live without a man?

But now, Dai Yanling was right behind her—a living, struggling person!

Jiang Baige pursed her lips, and the pages of the book were unconsciously pinched by her fingers, leaving tight lines.

At this time, she heard Qu Lu ask: "Has your husband come to see you again recently?"
