Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Haihai seemed to be persuaded by her words, but then she said timidly, “But he’s too ruthless. I don’t have the guts to mention divorce to him at all. Besides, I work in this shop. Even if we get a divorce, he definitely won’t let me have it easy. I’m afraid I’ll even lose my job.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes darted around slightly. After a while, she thought of an idea and said, “How about this? Since Li Lin and I are neighbors now, when Wei Gang goes to look for Li Lin, call the police station. The chief of the police station is my husband. When I go back, I’ll inform him in advance and ask him to pay attention to whether anyone calls the police to say that their husband cheated on them.”

“If you trust me, tell me your address. I’ll get my husband to record it. When the time comes, as long as you call, the police will rush straight to Li Lin’s house and capture the two of them. That way, we’ll have evidence.”

“After Wei Gang is locked up, he can’t cause trouble for you girls anymore. If you’re still afraid, you can hide while he’s locked up. If he dares to attack you in the shop, you can call the police.”

When Li Hai heard this, she hesitated. Her fear of Wei Gang was imprinted in her bones, but Wei Yan was very satisfied because Zhou Yu’s arrangements were very thorough.

According to the current law, if a man cheated, he would be sentenced to less than seven years in prison. Of course, if the other party was rich and paid the corresponding bail and fine, he could get out faster.

Li Hai looked at Wei Yan. “Yanyan, do you think this is a good idea?”

Zhou Yu looked at the two of them in surprise. She thought that between Li Hai and Wei Yan, Li Hai would make the decision. She didn’t expect Li Hai to ask her daughter.

However, when she thought of Li Hai’s family’s situation, Zhou Yu understood. It was said that children from poor families matured earlier. Living in a family with a meek mother and a violent father might force Wei Yan to mature earlier.

Wei Yan nodded. “Mom, her arrangements are very good. I believe that even if Dad wants to attack us, he will be restrained by the police.”

Seeing that Wei Yan trusted her, Zhou Yu continued, “In addition, I’ll help you write a report about what Wei Gang did. After everyone knows what he’s like, they’ll automatically pay attention to whether or not you guys get abused by him. Of course, if you do that, everyone outside will know about your family’s private matters. I wonder if you mind?”

As she spoke, Zhou Yu looked at the two of them. It was up to them to decide if they were willing to let the matter be reported. Otherwise, the other party would think that she was being nosy. It wasn’t like she had not experienced such a thing before.

Wei Yan said excitedly, “Thank you. We’re willing to let you report. I hope everyone can find out about what Wei Gang and Li Lin did. An irresponsible man like him is not worthy of being a father. With your help, my mom’s divorce from him will be much smoother.”

Zhou Yu nodded and said confidently, “Of course. Not only will it be much more convenient for you to get a divorce, but Wei Gang will also have to compensate you. You will get the most benefits during the division of assets.”

Li Hai was a little hesitant. “But if Wei Gang goes to jail, he will have a criminal record. Will that affect Yanyan’s future?”

Zhou Yu didn’t answer immediately. Li Hai’s worry wasn’t unreasonable. She couldn’t say for sure how the police would deal with Wei Gang.

Wei Yan knew that her mother was worried about her future. She immediately grabbed Li Hai’s arm and said with determination, “Mom, I’m not afraid. No matter what the price is, I want you to divorce him. If we continue to live with him, we’ll either be driven crazy or forced into a dead end. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

Wei Yan’s tears fell. She wasn’t acting. She really felt extremely upset.

In her previous life, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t obtain her father’s love. She even lost her mother, the only one who loved her. In her next life, she had to change everything, no matter what the price was!
