-5- Divine Blessing I.
Irena's eyes flickered.
The original partner was sued by the junior and won the lawsuit, and she was sent to prison?
Lady Lucia's eyes were filled with unconcealed sadness and remorse.
Of course, without anger, the civilian women of this era do not deserve to be angry.
"Yes, the crime is 'harassing the other person after they have formed a family with the intent to destroy the happiness of the other person'."
Irena listened silently to Lucia's words.
She could feel how helpless the civilian woman was at the moment, wanting to moan but not being able to make an audible sound.
It's like being in an abyss of incomparably darkness.
"How so? You are the original partner, and if you want to destroy it, it will also be the junior who will destroy your family! She was completely shocked and asked in confusion.
Lucia sighed:
"When I was unmarried and pregnant, I had to keep my home, pay the not too high utility bills and rent, buy daily meals, and raise my children."
"At that time, Blaise was still working hard to make money, working three part-time jobs a day, and I was very confident that I would stay with this man who was trying to support his family for the rest of his life.
When we were young, we worked hard together, and when our children grew up, we went on vacation together in the coastal cities of the Ranfert Empire. β
"Blinded by momentary happiness, I didn't care at all that he said, 'Don't register your marriage to save money,' because I knew he wouldn't betray."
Speaking of which, what kind of expression can Lucia have?
The complete betrayal of her husband, the merciless ridicule of the beautiful mistress, and the unbearable torture in prison......
She was already disheartened......
Irena has also heard about 'not registering the marriage in order to save money'.
After the marriage is registered, the municipal population department will issue a marriage certificate in red skin, and such a marriage will have legal benefits.
But it costs 1 sule, or 12 pence, or about 36 soft girl coins.
Such a "huge amount of money" is almost two days' expenses in many poor families.
8 pounds (4kg) of brown bread costs 9p.
A glass of rye beer is 1p a cup.
A fresh fish (variety, weight unknown) 5p.
A piece of beef with black pepper sauce sold in the store is 5p and 1 pound of cream is 1 sso 3p.
This is some basic price and not the daily expenses of the family.
The expenses of poor families are basically about 5 pence a day, they eat black bread, drink white water, and usually buy a glass of rye wine to treat themselves.
Spending 12p at once would leave them without food for at least two days of the month.
But men also have to marry and live.
Under such economic conditions, marriage without registration became a means of saving capital and proving mutual love and loyalty.
Of course, the latter is just a fig leaf to cover up the former.
After listening to Lucia's description, Irena knew that she was one of the poor people who fell in love with the vast expanse.
Who would have thought that the husband who was originally in love with each other would directly leave everything behind because of his wife's double failure in appearance and figure after giving birth, and his financial burden increased, and he was miserable.
Finding another woman outside and ignoring his wife and children, or even throwing his wife into prison to save trouble?
It can only be said that Lucia is blind.
Marriage registration is so expensive, naturally there is a reason why it is expensive.
Like Xiao San, he can find her, and he can blackmail her for a sum of money.
Because the laws of the Ranfert Empire will protect all those who pay taxes for it.
Balances need to be balanced.
So naturally it does not include the poor who do not pay.
Irena was about to put her hand on her slightly trembling shoulder to comfort her, when the sharp whistle of the prison guard sounded again at an inopportune time.
Seven minutes had quietly faded away from listening to Lucia's past.
It's time to get to work again.
It was the first time Irena had come to prison that she didn't want to go to work so quickly.
Lucia rubbed her squatting thigh muscles, shook her head with a wry smile, and touched Irena's white hair with her calloused hands that belonged to a working woman, like the caress of an elder:
"I know what you're trying to say, Miss Caslana, but you don't have to, because I've put it down."
"My experience is a past that I can't bear to look at directly, but it is different for you."
"Think about it, you're only 16!"
"You have to take it as a lesson, be wary of yourself not to find bad men, go back quickly, otherwise the prison guards will beat people again."
Even if it's not my own lesson?
And I'm definitely not looking for a man!
This was Irena's reaction after listening to it.
She watched Lucia's thin, devastated back walk towards the quarry in the bright sunlight at the door of the cafeteria, and knew that what she was approaching was not redemption, but dark torment.
Mental and physical torture.
The scrawny, blood-scarred back couldn't speak, but it could speak, like the Riddler.
The only word is: she will never let go.
It was a lifelong wound that needed time to cover up rather than erase.
"Lady Margaret!" Irena didn't call Blaise but her own surname, and Lucia suddenly turned around to see the little girl smiling, "Isn't it unfair that he's out there and you're still crying because of him?"
Although we are in prison, our hearts are free.
Life should move on, throw away your worries, and fill the vacated space with flowers! β
β¦β¦
After Lucia returned to the construction site, every time she swung the hammer in pain, she could see the girl in front of her who seemed to have inexhaustible strength, she was so special, even if her appearance was not good, she was as warm as an angel.
"Throw away your worries and fill the vacated space with flowers......"
She always had that phrase in her head.
Yes, the child was starved to death, the husband ran away, and no matter how sad he is, he can't get anything back, so it's better to selectively forget those grief and start a new life!
Maybe she can find an honest, responsible man who has the same experience as her after being released from prison and start a happy marriage.
Let's have a lovely child together.
There is still more than half of life to go, and you can't choose to die in place just because you fell hard in the middle.
Gradually, she seemed to figure it out.
γDing~ You successfully influenced a poor woman who suffered marital violence, so that she regained her confidence in life and obtained a blue magic ball. γ
Irena, who was swinging the hammer, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lady Lucia next door.
I saw her smiling, although the scorching sun sprinkled on her body, it gave people endless peace of mind.
Looking at her relieved look, Irena smiled too.
This time it wasn't because she got another ball, but because she really redeemed someone.
"System, open the blue magic ball, let me Kangkang have something good in it!" Irena muttered merryly.
γDing~ You have received a bonus: Divine Blessing I.γ
"Come on! Bless me!! She shouted in her heart.
But after a few seconds......
Huh?
Nothing appears after getting the bonus?
There were no wings on his back, and no holy light erupted on the spot.
So what's it for?
Irena knows the world, but she still burns books to the extent of mysteries.
Divine Blessings...... Something to do with the Holy See?
When she was puzzled, she suddenly felt that her physical strength, which was about to be exhausted, was miraculously slowly recovering!
So......
Is this a rush for me to do a rock-smashing perpetual motion machine?
It's really a special mother's sleepy and send a pillow!
Miss Lucia, love you!!
