Chapter 182 Shu Ying exposes the domestic abuser's pretense on the spot and obtains evidence.
Reading Settings
She had already planned out her future, and she was perfectly capable of supporting herself. Why should she go back to serve a man who only knew how to beat her?
Zhou Dawei lowered his head and confessed: "Zhao Di, I will change everything you don't like about me. If that's not enough, just tell me your conditions, and I will do it even if it costs me my life."
His voice trailed off, and Shu Ying beckoned. Two guards standing nearby came over.
She lowered her voice and made the two of them squat down with him, catching Zhou Dawei, who was bowing his head in repentance, completely off guard.
Two guards: ?
The military dependents standing around were even more confused.
Shu Ying straightened up, her voice sounding like she was singing: "I'll have to trouble you two comrades to tell everyone what you just saw."
The guard's voice was firm and resolute; he even raised his voice—
"This person is laughing!"
The group of people were stunned.
Shu Ying clapped her hands and gently took Song Zhaodi's hand.
"Please everyone open your eyes and see clearly. This man is always an actor. Not only is he unable to support his family, but he also gambles, steals money, drinks, beats and abuses his wife. He will also put on a fake act like today to gain other people's sympathy, and then push his wife into the fire."
Shu Ying's voice was unreadable, but Song Zhaodi knew she was furious.
"Once he's satisfied with torturing someone to death, he can then comfortably pin all the blame on you. Who was it that just advised someone to go back? How could you so easily offer such advice, without knowing their suffering?"
Tian Fang and Li Rong felt ashamed and stepped back, they hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
I originally intended to persuade the two of them to live a good life together, but who knew that this man was an absolute scumbag. While he was repenting, he even dared to secretly laugh in front of so many people.
Song Zhaodi took a deep breath, revealing the scars on her arm that hadn't fully healed. She forced herself to look up and meet Zhou Dawei's gaze, imagining how Shu Ying would handle the situation if the same thing happened to her.
"Over the years, you've inflicted countless wounds on me, big and small. I've given you countless chances, but if I give you a chance this time, I'll be dragging myself into hell. Zhou Dawei, I may not be loved by my parents, but I want to live a few more years. I won't go back to serve you, and I won't become your dog."
Her injuries had mostly healed, with only some dark marks remaining on her arms. But anyone with eyes could tell how much she had suffered and how much hardship she had endured.
Li Rong felt angry at being used. She took out the newly bought eggs from her own shopping basket, but then felt a little sorry for them, so she carefully put them back and replaced them with a rotten vegetable leaf, which she threw forcefully at Zhou Dawei.
"You hypocritical bastard, I even took pity on you and spoke up for you, but it turns out you were just pretending to be pitiful and making a fool of us all."
The situation took a turn. Shu Ying nodded: "He just thinks there are too many people here and wants to take advantage of everyone's sympathy. If Sister Song is really beaten to death by him tomorrow, wouldn't all those who stood up for him be criminals? Everyone would have a life on their shoulders for no reason. Tsk tsk, this man's mind is really terrifying."
Thinking about the possibility that Shu Ying mentioned, Tian Fang and Li Rong became even more furious.
Originally meant well, but almost caused a death by meddling in other people's business.
"This man is terrifying. I think he clearly has psychological problems. People like him should be locked up in the Fourth Municipal Hospital, which specializes in treating mentally ill people, so that he won't harm people outside."
Zhou Dawei's smile cracked as he saw the group of people staring at Shu Ying with murderous intent.
He had never seen a woman as despicable as Shu Ying before!
Having shared a bed for so many years, Song Zhaodi could clearly see the hatred in Zhou Dawei's eyes for Shu Ying.
This man is irrational. When he goes crazy, he's like a mad dog in the village. If this matter hurts Shuying, she will never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
“Zhou Dawei, there was never any marital affection between us. It’s just that we can’t live together anymore. If you have any resentment or hatred in your heart, take it out on me. Don’t drag innocent people into it.”
Shu Ying and Li Qingqing had only helped her out of injustice at the train station; they shouldn't have been dragged into this trouble because of their kindness.
Zhou Dawei's forehead veins bulged, and his voice carried a hint of danger, "You'd better come back with me now, or else—"
"You dare threaten people here? Don't you know where you are! A mentally unstable man like you dares to run around like this? If this were before, you might not even be punished by death. Don't women's lives matter?"
Before Zhou Dawei could finish speaking, someone couldn't contain themselves and, from who-knows-where, found a bag of trash and threw it at him with all their might.
Zhou Dawei was furious. He didn't usually pay much attention to personal hygiene. If he hadn't cleaned himself up before leaving Beijing, he would have smelled even more strongly of smoke and alcohol.
Shu Ying understood Song Zhaodi's worries, and held her hand tightly without backing down.
She lowered her voice and explained seriously, "Sister Song, you should never compromise with this kind of scum. He is clearly a bully who preys on the weak. The more cowardly a man is, the more arrogant he becomes. He just thinks he has your weakness in his hands. But now you have nothing to do with him anymore. As long as you two get your marriage certificate, you can go your separate ways from now on."
Shu Ying's voice inexplicably made people feel at ease, and the weight in Song Zhaodi's heart was lifted.
Although she knew that getting a divorce certificate wouldn't be so simple, she decided to take it one step at a time. Since neither her father nor mother cared for her, she simply decided to put everyone else out of her mind.
The towering mountains that stretch out one after another are by no means shackles that imprison her.
Shu Ying stepped out from the crowd and met Zhou Dawei's gaze directly. She straightened her back and spoke in a gentle yet powerful voice.
"Since everyone is here today, I would like to ask you all to be witnesses. I would also like to ask you to report this to the police and ask the officers to come and help coordinate the matter."
