When Chun Niang's mother-in-law saw that the woman was pregnant, she immediately made arrangements to marry the woman into the family without saying a word, and even asked Chun Niang, the first wife, to serve the woman.

That woman of unknown origin, not only stole Chun Niang's husband, but also wanted her, the main wife, to serve her every day.

If others had made trouble long ago, but for the sake of this family, Chun Niang swallowed her humiliation and served the woman extremely attentively, thinking that when she gave birth to a child, their Lao Yu family would have a baby, and the family would live smoothly in the future. Just get on with the day.

But when the woman gave birth to a son, things got even worse. Chun Niang had to take care of the child again and take care of the concubine during the confinement period. At the same time, her mother-in-law and the store also needed her help. The whole family completely ignored Chun Niang. My mother treats me as an old mother.

Today, shopkeeper Yu went crazy and suddenly said he wanted to divorce her.

When Chun Niang refused, the man beat her severely.

Hearing this, Shen Ruoyan was so angry that she forgot the etiquette of ladies, slammed the table and said loudly:

"divorce your wife? He treats you like this and still has the nerve to say that he wants to divorce his wife!"

If it hadn't been getting late, Shen Ruoyan would have wanted to rush to the clothing store right now and give the shopkeeper a good beating to vent the bad breath in her heart.

Chun Niang took Shen Ruoyan's hand and whispered:

"He said I couldn't give birth to a son and I was guilty of seven crimes."

"Bah, does he know what Qi Chu is? Still Qi Chu!"

Shen Ruoyan sighed hard. She had learned rules and etiquette since she was a child and was very familiar with these rules and regulations. She explained to Chun Niang:

"Let me tell you, the so-called childlessness refers to childlessness under 49 years old. It is not suitable for birth. How old are you? This is simply not true! Besides, the doctor only said that it is difficult for you to become pregnant, but he did not say that it is impossible. Why should he divorce you because of this?"

Chun Niang suddenly raised her head, looked at Shen Ruoyan blankly, and asked:

"This is real?"

Seeing Shen Ruoyan nod seriously, Chun Niang felt a lot more relaxed, and the shackles that had been weighing on her for many years were suddenly removed.

Over the years, she has been feeling guilty for not being able to give birth to a child for the Yu family.

So when the woman came in with a big belly, she didn't dare to say anything. She just hoped to use her patience in exchange for a safe place, for fear that her husband would divorce her if he was not satisfied at all.

Seeing Chun Niang sitting there blankly without saying a word, Shen Ruoyan continued:

"You caught the cold for the sake of this family, but he was so ungrateful that he even yelled at you, and now he even beats you. How could he have the face to bring this up with you? Why didn't he talk about us? Is there still a ‘three no-go’ rule in Daning?”

If you don’t leave for three years, you will have something to gain and nothing to return. You will not be able to leave for three years of mourning. You will not be able to leave if you were poor or lowly or rich or noble.

If a woman has no other relatives in her natal family, or has been mourning for her husband's family for three years, or if her husband's family was poor when she first married into her husband's family but later became rich, she cannot divorce her wife in these cases. .

Shen Ruoyan explained everything to Chun Niang with her fingers, and finally concluded:

"Look, which of these three things have you not taken advantage of? Even if you go to the government, he will never divorce you."

"That's good, that's good!" Chun Niang patted her chest, showing a hint of relief, and said gratefully to Shen Ruoyan, "Miss Shen, thank you so much."

Shen Ruoyan frowned, looked at Chun Niang doubtfully, and asked:

"What? From your tone, do you still want to go back?"

Chun Niang did not dare to look at Shen Ruoyan, she just lowered her head and said softly:

"As long as he doesn't hit me again, I'm willing to go back."

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan was furious and couldn't understand Chun Niang's thoughts.

As the saying goes, mourn for its misfortune, and be angry for it.

Shen Ruoyan asked anxiously:

"Why are you still staying in a place like that? If you go back this time, it will be equivalent to compromising with him, and your family will definitely torture you even more. Are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Chun Niang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Shen Ruoyan asked tentatively:

"Are you still happy with him?"

Chun Niang shook her head. She and Shopkeeper Yu grew up together and had some friendship at first, but there had been too many sad things over the years, and no matter how deep the relationship was, it had long since been smoothed away.

Shen Ruoyan was confused, "Then why do you still stay there?"

Chun Niang lowered her head, struggled repeatedly and finally expressed her worries:

"Miss Shen, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I have no father or mother, and I don't have any relatives to rely on. If I leave the Yu family, I don't know how I will live?"

Shen Ruoyan was very puzzled and said:

"Look, they dare to bully you like this just because they see you as helpless! But so what if you have no relatives? You are so capable, can't you live on your own?"

In her last life, Shen Ruoyan's entire family died, and even the child in her belly could not be saved.

Even so, she never gave up. Until the last moment of her life, Shen Ruoyan was thinking about how to escape from Lu Yan and start her life again.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't understand why Chun Niang would stay in such a cannibalistic place now that she clearly had the chance to leave.

However, Chun Niang also couldn't understand Shen Ruoyan's thoughts.

She was born an orphan.

For Chun Niang, the Yu family is her relatives and everything in her life.

Therefore, even though she knew very well in her heart that she could not stay in that place, emotionally Chun Niang could not make up her mind to cut off that family from her life.

Chun Niang pinched the corner of her clothes uneasily and said in embarrassment:

"But I am a woman."

"There are so many widows in Daning whose husbands have died. Can't they survive?" Shen Ruoyan took Chun Niang's hand and persuaded her, "I ask you, if that fat pig suddenly died suddenly, would you also follow suit?" Has he gone?"

Hearing Shen Ruoyan's extreme metaphor, Chun Niang couldn't help but smile.

After experiencing the despair of her previous life, Shen Ruoyan hoped that Chun Niang could be braver and said slowly:

"Don't always think that patience will solve everything. When others see that you are weak, they will only bully you even more. But your efforts over the years have long repaid their upbringing. You have nothing to do first. You owe them, why should you let others bully you! You are hardworking and capable, why can't you fight for yourself?"

Chun Niang looked at Shen Ruoyan. Although she was only a girl of sixteen or seventeen, there was a look in her eyes that she had never seen before.

It seemed that as long as I believed in her, I could live like her, confidently and freely.

This is a life she can't even imagine.

A seductive smile appeared on Shen Ruoyan's face, and she said sincerely to Chun Niang:

"Chun Niang, you deserve a better life! Are you willing to believe me?"
