"I..." The woman hesitated and grew nervous, her voice tinged with tears. "I haven't worked in over ten years. At my age, how could I possibly find a job..."
"Why not? You don't look very old, and you're still far from the legal retirement age. Why can't you work? Always relying on a man—do you think such a man is dependable? You can work in a supermarket, do cleaning jobs; there are many kinds of work you can do. Why are you so unmotivated and still think the world is unfair?"
There were quite a few clear-headed onlookers, understanding that in this day and age, women must be independent, especially financially independent!
Otherwise, people will think you rely on a man to support you and look down on you.
He still thinks you do nothing at home, spending his money every day, not knowing how to save or dress up, looking worse than a housekeeper with your haggard face.
"Aren't you going to tell the truth yet?" Wen Ying patiently looked at the woman, while the onlookers were very puzzled at this moment.
Isn't this woman telling the truth?
Everyone admitted to domestic violence!
"I..." The woman looked up at Wen Ying, "How do you know about my family? Are you spying on me? Did that man ask you to spy on me?"
The woman's mental state did indeed have some issues.
"He abuses you every day when he's unhappy, and your child has been scared to tears many times, hasn't he? You want to go out to work, but he says someone must stay at home, so you can't go out. If you bring it up again, you'll get beaten. You could call the police, but for the sake of your child, you refuse to, insisting on bearing this grievance yourself."
Your child has already grown up. Have you asked him about his thoughts? Why do you always do things that only move yourself?
"Do you know that growing up in a family like yours, his psychological issues will be very serious! You're not protecting him, you're harming him! Even if he were with a single mother, he would be happier than he is now!"
The woman covered her face and suddenly began to cry, her whole body trembling.
"But the child's father said that without him, the child would be bullied by many people, called a wild child without a father, and even have trouble going to school. I don't want to gamble with the child's future! What did I do wrong? Everything I do is for the child! Where did I go wrong? Why do you all think I'm wrong? Will you only be satisfied if you drive me to death?"
The woman was already crying incoherently.
"Miss, hang in there! I've already called the police!"
"You must be Dr. Wen, right? Dr. Wen, I support you! We are your fans, and we are here to testify for you!"
Suddenly, a few young people emerged from the crowd, shouting loudly.
"Such a woman doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. What has she done for her child? Whatever the man says goes? Why doesn't she learn to investigate and see for herself? Clearly, she's just making excuses for her own laziness! Every day she hides in her self-righteous world, thinking everything is for the child! My friend was driven to death by this! You stupid parents!"
A girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old started cursing loudly and even began to cry.
This world is like this, filled with countless possibilities. Sometimes what seems insignificant to you might be the straw that breaks someone else's back.
"If you continue like this, not only will the rest of your life be incredibly miserable, but even your children will be led down a path of no return under your influence. Take care of yourself."
When Wen Ying finished speaking, the police had just arrived.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Wen. Leave the rest to us."
Wen Ying had been holding on for so long that her arm was indeed a bit sore. As soon as she let go, the man plopped down on the ground with a thud, grimacing in pain.
The man still wanted to resist and slander Wen Ying, but he saw Wen Ying directly take out her phone and show a video to the police.
The surrounding crowd saw it too.
"Beast! Acting so brazenly in broad daylight, who knows what illegal things you'd do in a less crowded place! Officer, you must punish him severely!"
"He also commits domestic violence!"
The woman sitting on the ground suddenly looked up, "No, no, I fell on my own. My husband never abuses me. It's because I'm lazy and troublesome."
Everyone: "..."
The parties involved have made their choices; what right do these bystanders have to make decisions for someone else's life?
Sure enough, there are always detestable aspects in pitiful people.
The police took the person away after exchanging a few words with Wen Ying. The woman hurriedly got up and followed the police, looking every bit like a worried mother.
Fans also asked Dr. Wen for autographs, and Wen Ying took the ballpoint pen out of her hair.
Directly wrote in their notebooks:
Study hard and make progress every day!
Don't pretend to study, really study!
School is not a place for romance; you are all future talents of the nation!
Zhang Wenliang stood aside, watching Wen Ying sign autographs for her fans, his mouth twitching slightly.
Sure enough, his fantasies about Sister Wen Ying all needed to be shattered by reality.
When these people left, Zhang Wenliang pulled Wen Ying away from the crowd as well. "Wen Ying, will that aunt really continue like this forever?"
Wen Ying shook her head, "Maybe it will, maybe it won't."
"Can't Sister Wen Ying tell?"
"I can see it, I can see her tragic fate, and I can see that if this continues, her son will also go down a path of no return. But it's obvious she won't listen to our advice, and her husband isn't normal either. Are we supposed to adopt the child? To him, we're just strangers. On what grounds do we have to care for him?"
Hearing Wen Ying's words, Zhang Wenliang couldn't help but sigh.
He was very happy, from childhood to adulthood he was always happy.
He knew there was too much misfortune in the world, but he never thought that when it happened right in front of him, he would be unable to do anything about it.
There are also too many helpless situations in the world.
It's not that wanting something means you can achieve it or obtain it.
"If his mother could change, maybe their lives would be different. This requires her to make the choice herself. Unfortunate events happen every day in this world. What we can do is remind them as best as we can, but the outcome is not something we can control. Whatever path they choose, they will bear the consequences."
Zhang Wenliang nodded to show he understood.
Wen Ying knew what Zhang Wenliang was thinking, but she couldn't tell him; he had to figure it out on his own.
Reality is harsh, and it is not always filled with blooming flowers waiting for you to admire.
Such things, perhaps Zhang Wenliang will see many more in the future.
This challenge, Zhang Wenliang must face and understand on his own.
Wen Ying cleared her mind and focused on browsing the shops, while Zhang Wenliang followed behind her, somewhat absent-minded.
"Does this dress look good?"
Wen Ying held a light blue modified cheongsam in her hand. The cheongsam was knee-length, with flowing sleeves and frog buttons.
