Chapter 22 — Don't tease your wife

Three days later, my father's condition stabilized. The day he was discharged from the hospital, the sun was very beautiful. My mother put a coat on him, and along the way, she repeatedly told him to slow down. My father looked at me, smiling a little tiredly. "Daughter, I have implicated you." The bridge of my nose stung. "Dad, it's because they are too evil." "It's not because I implicated you." Dad patted my hand. "Then let's end this matter." "Don't look back in the future." On the day the court opened the divorce trial, Ha Thua An sat opposite, his whole body visibly skinny. He wasn't wearing his hospital clothes anymore. Because now the whole internet knows, that arm of his is not as disabled as he claimed. Ma Thuc Mai did not dare to come. It is said that after being summoned for questioning several times, she began to pretend to be sick. But her feigning illness did not affect the progress of the case. Bach Vi has arrived. Tham Man also came. They sat in the audience, not far from each other. My mother and father sat on the other side. When I turned my head to look, my mother nodded slightly at me. At that moment, my heart was as strong as a block of iron. Ha Thua An's representative still wants to focus on my defensive behavior to make things difficult. His lawyer said I used to practice Tan Thu and used too much force. Say a husband and wife quarrel, you can't knock each other down like that. Thieu Ninh stood up and refuted each point. Public camera video of the apartment complex. Camera video in the hospital hallway. Livestream video on the rooftop. Ex-girlfriend's injury record. Evidence of messages provided by Bach Vi. Chain of evidence of personal information leaks at the company. Testimony of blocking the hospital room door. One by one, Ha Thua An's lies were crushed, making him unable to raise his head. Ha Thua An suddenly spoke up. "I have a video recorded at home." The whole court was silent. Thieu Ninh glanced at me. I was also a bit taken aback. Obviously we don't have cameras in our house. Ha Thua An stared at me, as if he had finally grabbed a lifeline. "Does she think I didn't prepare anything?" "I videotaped the entire process of her beating me." "I have to show the judge how cruel she is." His lawyer's face changed slightly, clearly unaware of this. I looked at Ha Thua An and suddenly understood everything. After ten days of marriage, Ma Thuc Mai moved in together. It turned out right then and there that these things were not just a sudden outburst. They have been plotting for a long time: how to tame me, how to capture me. It's just a shame they forgot. The camera lens doesn't always know how to defend the wicked. I slowly sat up straight. "Okay." "Show it." Ha Thua An's smile stiffened. 21 When the indoor video was connected to the projection device, Ha Thua An was still staring at me. He thought I would panic. But I didn't. The footage begins that evening. Ha Thua An smelled strongly of alcohol. As soon as he entered the door, he threw his jacket on the sofa. Ma Thuc Mai stood at the bedroom door, coldly looking at me. He walked towards me, cursing my name. He said that when a daughter-in-law gets married, she must be obedient. He said he had to set rules for me today. He raised his hand high and slapped me straight in the face. I dodged, caught my wrist, broke my elbow, and knocked me down. Neat movements without any excess. After falling to the ground, he still tried to get up and try to rush at me. I pressed his shoulders tightly, locking his arms in a safe corner. During that process, I did not hit his head, did not kick him in a dangerous place, and did not add any additional blows. In the video, Ma Thuc Mai rushed to push me, I backed away to avoid it. Missing, she started screaming. Ha Thua An lay on the floor cursing, threatening to defeat me

list. The image stops there. The courtroom was silent. Ha Thua An's face lost all color. He probably never expected that the surveillance camera he secretly installed would clearly record the scene of him hitting me first. Thieu Ninh spoke up. "Mr. Ha arbitrarily installed a recording device in the couple's common living space without the consent of the couple. This act itself is a violation of privacy." "At the same time, this video is also complete evidence proving that Ms. Phuong Anh Tuyet took defensive measures when faced with actual abuse." "Her movements were moderate, had a stop, and were not at all a revenge attack." Ha Thua An suddenly jumped. "It's not like that!" "She has martial arts!" "She deliberately humiliated me!" The judge knocked on the gavel and asked him to sit down. I looked at him. "Ha Thua An, I practice martial arts, not to bully anyone." "It's so that when people like you raise your hand, I don't have to kneel down and ask you not to hit me." His lips trembled, he couldn't say another word. The trial that day lasted a long time. Before getting married, Ha Thua An hid the fact that she had a child of her own. After getting married, she tolerated her biological mother's appropriation of my personal property and forced me to pay her salary.
