Chapter 384 Are you willing to divorce your husband and remarry? I'll arrange a husband for you
Just then, a man came running after a woman.
The woman looked anxious, and before she knew it, she fell to the ground with a thud. "Please stop hitting me! My son is sick, and this is the last bit of money for his medicine. I can't let you take it to gamble!"
The man's eyes flashed with malice. He rushed forward, grabbed the woman's hair, and raised his hand to slap her, saying, "You've gone too far! I can spend the money in this house however I want. You dare to stop me?"
"If you don't hand over the money today, I'll kill you!"
Dou Weiyi, who was about to go into the building to chase Lin Xi, stopped immediately upon hearing the commotion at the door.
He had been all smiles and jokes, but when he heard the shouts and curses, his face instantly darkened, and he rushed over with a limp.
With quick reflexes, she grabbed the man's raised wrist.
The force was so great that the other person cried out in pain, and the hand that was pulling on the woman's hair loosened.
"You beat your wife in broad daylight and gamble away your child's medicine money. Do you even consider yourself a man, you spineless coward?"
Dou Weiyi's eyes were frighteningly cold, and his tone was filled with barely suppressed anger, "I think you're tired of living, daring to act so presumptuously right under my nose!"
The man winced in pain, but still tried to argue, "I... I was disciplining my own wife, what's it to you!"
Suddenly, the man remembered something, his eyes flashing with malice. He pressed his chest against Dou Weiyi, "Oh, I know, you're this bitch's lover, aren't you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dou Weiyi punched him right in the eye. "You dare to smear me? You're asking for trouble!"
After saying that, Dou Weiyi took out his county magistrate's token and said, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly what this is!"
The man, clutching his face which was swollen like a panda's eye, winced in pain as he saw Dou Weiyi take something out.
But he couldn't read at all, and he slapped the token away with his bare hands.
He was still yelling, "Don't try to fool me with your junk! Who do you think you are!"
Gao Mengli quickly stepped forward, preparing to help the woman who had fallen to the ground up.
Unexpectedly, the moment he touched her arm, the woman gasped in pain.
Her gaze darkened, and she lifted the woman's sleeve, revealing bruises all over the woman's arm.
The wounds were layered, some still bruised, others covered with light brown scabs, and there was even a deep ligature mark around the wrist, a shocking sight.
This man is not only a gambling addict, but also a domestic abuser!
"He did it?"
The woman lowered her head even further, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly. Her voice was trembling with sobs, but she dared not raise it, "It's...it's him who beats me when he loses money. Sometimes he beats me too because he thinks I cook too slowly..."
If things don't go her way, beating and kicking her is the least of her worries; her poor five-year-old son gets beaten up too...
Gao Mengli's voice instantly turned cold, "He abuses you like this, why don't you get a divorce and go home?"
The woman trembled violently upon hearing the words "divorce".
Tears fell even harder, her voice choked with despair: "Divorce...it's not that easy."
Her hands, gripping the hem of her clothes, were thin and bony, clearly indicating that she was someone who was always hungry.
"My family has long since disappeared..."
My parents passed away early, and my brother and sister-in-law also think I'm a burden. If I leave him, I won't even have a place to stay with my child..."
Dou Wei, who was standing nearby, was furious when she heard this.
None of his brothers in the resettlement camp could find wives, but this wicked man did, and instead of cherishing her, he abused her to this extent.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she simply rolled up her sleeves and started beating the man mercilessly.
The man clutched his head, wincing in pain. "Stop! If you hit me again, I'll call the police!"
Dou Weiyi chuckled at these words and beat them even harder: "Report to the authorities? I am an official! Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, I would beat you to death, you piece of trash!"
"Hey, stop! Stop it!"
Magistrate Shi was stunned!
He doesn't know martial arts and can't join in the scene where Dou Weiyi is fighting.
He wasn't very good at talking, and he couldn't get involved in the conversation between the woman Gao Mengli was trying to comfort.
I just stood there anxiously watching!
What, what is going on here!
Magistrate Shi paced back and forth anxiously, glancing at the man groaning from the beating and then at Dou Weiyi, who was rolling up his sleeves and about to hit him again. Finally, he managed to choke out, "Brother Dou! Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"
If they keep hitting, someone will really die!
We...we'll follow the law, we'll follow the law!
But the law can't govern other people's family affairs, look how far this has gone...
If someone were to file a complaint, Dou Weiyi would be in serious trouble for assaulting a commoner!
Ouch!
Finally, he slapped his thigh and decided to just give up!
I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything...
Thankfully, the groans of the man on the ground subsided after Dou Weiyi hit him, and she finally stopped!
He quickly walked up to the woman, put on what he considered a "friendly" smile, and slowly began to speak.
"Young lady, with your husband treating you like this, do you want to divorce him and remarry?"
"If you just nod, I'll immediately help you divorce your husband and find you a new one!"
When the woman heard the words "divorce her husband and remarry," she froze, unable to believe her ears.
She was stunned for a full three breaths before she suddenly realized what was happening.
She knelt down in front of Dou Weiyi with a "plop," tears mixed with excitement, and nodded vigorously: "I want to! I want to! I dream of divorcing him!"
As long as I can sever ties with him, I... I'm willing to do anything, even if he divorces me!
Dou Wei exclaimed, "Excellent!"
He gave the woman a helping hand, then pulled out his "divorce template" from his chest!
He took out a calligraphy brush, twirled it in his mouth, and held it above the name on the contract. Turning to ask, "Young lady, what's your surname and given name? What's your husband's name?"
Gao Mengli's eyelids twitched as soon as he pulled out the divorce papers.
Alright, he didn't just set his sights on the resettlement camp; he's already taken it over!
Now that they've progressed to the point of arranging marriages for them, the next step is definitely to find them jobs!
Seeing Dou Weiyi's posture, the woman was somewhat uncertain, so she turned to look at Gao Mengli next to her for help.
Divorce? She had never heard of such a thing.
Can a woman really divorce her husband?
If this can't be done, she'll definitely be beaten to death by her husband when she gets back; she doesn't dare to gamble.
Gao Mengli immediately grasped the woman's trembling hand and reassured her with her eyes, "Don't worry, this is Dou Weiyi, the magistrate of Pingyao County!"
In our Pingyao County, even if a family beats or mistreats their wife, they will be eavesdropped on... no, the government will intervene and force them to divorce and remarry!
Therefore, the people there treat their wives very well!
It's fair to say that whenever men encounter Dou Weiyi on the street, they all fiercely protect their wives and keep their distance.
Otherwise, today she's your wife, but tomorrow she might divorce you and become someone else's wife!
Therefore, this was the first time Gao Mengli had ever seen someone abuse their wife.
In Pingyao, the moment someone raises their hand to hit another, their wife is already someone else's, and that's irreversible!
"But...but Pingyao County has no jurisdiction over the prefectural city..."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up for a moment before dimming again, regretting that she wasn't from Pingyao County.
"Oh, what's there to worry about!"
Dou Weiyi lowered her hand, glanced around, and pulled Magistrate Shi, who was muttering "I can't see, I can't see" with his eyes closed in the corner, over.
"Look, your magistrate, Magistrate Shi, is right here. You can speak with confidence!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Shi suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What...what did you say?"
