Chapter 112: Scumbag amputated, a relief for everyone
Chapter 112
This won\'t do!
She had really learned some bad habits. How could she take pleasure in someone else\'s misfortune?
Upon further learning that the person who had crippled him was Linlin\'s Mother, Gu Sang felt an immense heaviness in her heart.
She immediately found a lawyer for Linlin\'s Mother and inquired about the legal situation. When she learned that running a red light would be considered the main responsibility, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But the relationship between Linlin\'s Mother and He Linpeng was a bit complicated, and a lawsuit was definitely going to happen.
The lawyer said, "If this were a normal traffic accident, your side would only need to bear economic compensation, and most of it would be covered by insurance."
"But analyzing the public opinion online, given the dispute between the two parties, He Linpeng\'s first wife definitely won\'t let this go. She will likely press charges for intentional injury."
"When it goes to court, it will depend on how responsibility is assigned."
"If it\'s judged as a normal traffic accident, there won\'t be a problem. Don\'t worry, just based on the fact that he ran a red light, the impact on my client will be reduced by half."
"For the rest, I\'ll do my best to argue our case. Any accusations without evidence will be invalid!"
Receiving the lawyer\'s answer, Gu Sang felt slightly more at ease.
All she could do was hire a well-known lawyer for Linlin\'s Mother. The rest would depend on the lawyer gathering evidence.
With a good lawyer for defense, plus the fact that He Linpeng was crossing the road while looking at his phone and ran a red light, Linlin\'s Mother\'s side shouldn\'t have too big of a problem.
The big issue was He Linpeng\'s amputated legs.
It was his life worse than death from now on!
Lin Lin.
Do you see now?
The man who ruined your life has now had his life ruined by your mother.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"
Meanwhile, in the ancient plague-ridden city.
Several soldiers sent by the Elder Princess were going through the streets, beating gongs and drums to make an announcement.
"Recruiting for the women\'s guard unit, excellent benefits... Free medical training with the Imperial Physicians... Those interested can sign up at the city gate!"
"Recruiting for the women\'s guard unit..."
After shouting themselves hoarse making the rounds, only about a dozen women came to the city gate to sign up.
There were, however, hundreds of onlookers at the city gate, outnumbering those who signed up by dozens of times.
In the crowd, young unmarried women\'s eyes sparkled with interest.
They heard the soldiers speak of various benefits, such as independent lodging and meals for women, strict control in the military by the Elder Princess to absolutely prevent contact between soldiers and the women, and no need to worry about any rumors spreading.
What was even more enticing was the free medical training!
Even ordinary doctors would charge money to take on apprentices.
But these were Imperial Physicians from the palace!!!
And they were going to teach for free!
The soldiers who had been going through the streets also said that after serving in the military for three years, one could leave with a handsome sum of money.
All of these factors made the unmarried women very interested.
They couldn\'t help but think, if they had a skill, would they no longer need to rely on marrying a man to support themselves?
They wouldn\'t have to be like other sisters, marrying off and dedicating their lives to their husbands and children.
At that time, they would have another choice...
"Mother, I want to go—"
However.
Before the daughter could finish speaking.
The woman beside her, as if guessing what she was about to say from her expression, immediately changed her countenance and scolded her, forcefully pulling the young woman in the direction of home.
The mother said coldly, "No! You can\'t go!"
"The military camp is a place for men. If you, an unmarried woman, go there, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger\'s den."
"I know you long for the future, but the future is the future, and this is our time! If you go to such a place, how will you ever get married?"
"You\'ll be the talk of the whole village!"
The unmarried woman pressed her lips tightly together, looking back longingly.
Until she could no longer see the dozen or so women who had mustered the courage to sign up at the city gate, she decided to make a push for herself and try to persuade her mother.
The daughter took a deep breath and said, "But the Elder Princess said they would separate the men\'s and women\'s camps. We women would only need to treat people, and wouldn\'t have any contact with those men."
"And Mother, if I come back after learning medicine, I can become a female doctor. Then you and Father can have an easier life."
The mother stubbornly struck her daughter and said sternly, "Three years! Who knows what will happen in three years? That\'s a battlefield, anything could happen."
"There will definitely be physical contact when treating people. If you touch hands or see a man\'s body, how will you ever get married? It would be so shameful!"
"Besides, how old will you be after three years? You\'ll be an old maid by then, what family would want you?"
"But... but the Divine Lady..." the daughter cried out in pain, biting her lip, wanting to say that the Divine Lady and the Elder Princess were such outstanding people and they weren\'t married yet!
Why did women only have one path to choose - marriage?
The daughter hesitated for a long time, just about to muster the courage to speak these thoughts aloud!
The mother spoke again, directly shattering all of the young woman\'s ideas: "You want to compare yourself to the Divine Lady and the Elder Princess? You can\'t even recognize a single character, how can you compare?"
"You don\'t have their knowledge, you don\'t have their background, you can barely read a few words!"
"We\'re just poor people, don\'t even think about it."
"You\'re even afraid to kill a chicken, if you went to the battlefield, wouldn\'t you faint at the sight of blood?"
In the plague-ridden city, such scenes were not uncommon.
Many young women, full of passion, wanted to sign up, but were stopped by family members and relatives for various reasons.
Sometimes, ah.
Those who stop you from becoming stronger and better, who suppress you at every opportunity to rise up, who constantly tell you that you\'re not as good as others, are not strangers.
They are the ones you consider your best friends, parents, and relatives.
They will tell you:
Others are others, and you are you. You\'re so stupid, so @#¥%...... How could you possibly succeed? Give up already!
You should just marry someone, get a job, and stop thinking about all these unrealistic things.
But life is short. Women\'s status is already so low, life is already so difficult. Who knows if you can turn things around if you don\'t give it a try!
"What?!"
"You want to go to the battlefield? What about your children? Do you want to leave your children motherless? How can you be so heartless!"
"Haha, you want to study medicine? Look at you, you can\'t even handle small tasks properly. You studying medicine? Don\'t embarrass yourself! If you end up being too stupid and get kicked out, don\'t you dare say you\'re my wife. I\'d be too ashamed."
"Look at your sister-in-law, she\'s so pitiful as a widow with children! Your Elder Brother died on the battlefield after being drafted. And now you\'re telling me you want to go to the battlefield? Are you trying to be the death of me?"
This scene was playing out in thousands upon thousands of households across the plague-ridden city.
Although their reasons for objection varied, they all boiled down to a single cause.
Their rigid mindsets hadn\'t been changed by the Elder Princess\'s conditions, nor by Gu Sang\'s teachings. It wasn\'t something that could be transformed just by watching a few live streams.
Perhaps some people had already awakened.
But that glimmer of light...
Would quickly be suppressed by relatives, friends, and husbands. They would have ten thousand reasons to stop you, never caring about what you truly want.
