Kiki's arrival to the Chen family home brings uncertainty among the village women who witnessed it. They gathered with curiosity and began to exchange opinions about who Kiki was and what her relationship with the new daughter-in-law in Chen's house was.

Madam Zhang, who was always looking for news and village gossip, greeted with a question mark in her eyes, "Who is that girl? We've never even heard of him before."

Madam Wang, who was sitting next to her, replied, "Maybe she is a friend or sister of the new daughter-in-law. Somehow, that must be the situation is getting more complicated."

Mrs Li added, "Are you guys sure she will actually report the matter to the police? Or is this just a bluff?"

Kiki continued to confront the Chen family who defended this forced marriage. He not only spoke loudly, but also belittled Chen Li with contemptuous words.

"Being disabled is not a sin, especially when the cause is a struggle for the state. But the behavior of letting Mio be hit in front of your eyes is proof that you, Chen Li is not a real man, but a sissy who is not worthy of Mio," Kiki said firmly.

Chen's family felt devastated and angry. They said harshly, "Who are you so fierce and insolent in someone else's house?"

However, Kiki remained steadfast and undaunted. He stood up and declared, "I am a human being who does not need to talk to animals like you."

Chen's family was further provoked and said, "Mio is Chen's daughter-in-law, want him to be beaten or strangled, that's our right and duty."

Kiki knew that they would not admit their mistakes. He spoke to Chen Li in a serious voice, trying to touch the heart of a once soldier.

"I admire a soldier who is willing to shed blood for the sake of the country. But you, Chen Li, are the one who embarrassed the name of a soldier. Rather than you destroying a soldier's name with your actions and your family's, it would be better if you didn't return to this living condition."

Kiki's words were full of emotion, trying to touch the heart of Chen Li who was once a soldier.

Chen Li felt like he had been pierced by her feelings as Kiki mocked him, calling him a person who had given a bad name to his status as a soldier. A feeling of shame and despair surged within him as he pondered how futile the struggle and sacrifice he had once made while being a soldier was.

As she is mortally wounded in her duties, she accepts the fact that her body will never be what it used to be. As a man who used to be strong and tough, now he has to live with physical limitations that are hard to accept.

The act of his family seeking a wife for him is actually more to give him someone who can take care of him and serve him for life. But in the process, he himself knew, if this had underestimated Mio's rights, desires, and dignity. Kiki's actions and words force her, for another reality.

He tarnished the good name of the army personally.

She is embarrassed by her inability to protect Mio from the abusive treatment of her family. Even though she could not speak and move like she used to, she also knew that she needed someone who cared and cared for her. It gets him caught up in a complicated inner conflict.

But in his mind, beating Mio was a natural thing after marriage. He believed that a son-in-law had an obligation to obey in-laws. Although in his heart he felt ashamed, but he could not speak to defend Mio or express his true feelings.

Chen's family did not feel any fear towards Kiki or her threat. Chen's younger brother advanced with the hard intention of taking Mio and putting her into the room, as well as locking her up from the outside. Kiki and Mila try desperately to hold her back, but in reality they are girls who are not as strong as men.

In the end, Mio managed to be forcefully pulled into the room, but soon there was a loud shout from the villagers who witnessed it. The police car came.

It was a police car.

Some say, "The girl didn't lie. He has reported the matter to the police station." The neighbors who gathered talked to each other.

Another aunt teased, "The Chen family is really unlucky. They got a daughter-in-law who's carrying shit."

Although the neighbor whispers permeated the silence, the Chen family felt trembling when they heard that the police came to their house. Especially the younger brother Chen who was previously preparing to put Mio into the room, was now trembling and putting Mio's helpless body on the ground.

In a chaotic situation, Mila hugged her sister tightly and cried hysterically. "My poor brother" he cried with emotion.

As the silence filled with trembling and crying, the Chen family felt that it was in deep trouble.

Three police officers arrived quickly and got off the patrol car. One of them was a member of the Women's Commission, who swiftly entered the Chen family home. Kiki, who saw them coming, immediately played her role and pretended to cry while hugging the fainted Mio.

Officers from the Women's Commission immediately evaluated Mio's unharmed condition. They saw how badly his body was bruised and bleeding.

One of the officers said seriously, "This is a serious matter. The attempted murder charge seems appropriate. We have to get this girl to the hospital immediately."

Chen's family was shocked by the presence of the police officers. Her mother quickly tried to defend herself, "She is our daughter-in-law. It's just a matter of ordinary household."

Her grandmother also tried to justify the brutal act. "This girl-in-law is really bad. He needs to be taught about the duties of a son-in-law."

Officers from the Women's Commission who also work in the police forcefully affirmed, "As a woman, I can understand that this is a matter of marriage. However, we must not forget the fact that he is still a human being."

Kiki boldly conveyed her argument, "There is no marriage here. This is human selling. Mio doesn't know anything. He doesn't even know this family. Where is the dowry mentioned? Would this be called a marriage if on the first day she was beaten like a pig?"

The police officer who recorded this report nodded and recorded all the arguments and evidence presented by Kiki. They remember previous events involving Kiki and strive to perform their duties well.

After the records were made, the police officer said, "Someone who did the beating, please come forward and follow us to the police station."

The Chen family began to panic, shouting that they were innocent, that this was a legitimate marriage. However, the police officer, with his patriotic soul, firmly said, "Let's explain everything at the police station. We'll take this girl to the hospital, and the cost will be borne by this family."

Soon, two brothers-in-law, Chen's mother, and Chen Li's younger brother were pulled into a police car with their hands in handcuffs. In the car, two brothers-in-law started crying and shouting, repeatedly shouting that they did not know what was going on.

Sangking scared her, their trousers were immediately wet by something new.

But it couldn't stop each other's cries and shame.

"i'm innocent! I don't know what's going on!" they wail non-stop. Meanwhile, Chen's mother also tried to defend herself with her pitiful crying voice. "Huuuu, I'm innocent, this is my daughter-in-law huhuhu, my husband, help me."

San Mio, who was still helpless, got into the police car accompanied by two officers from the Women's Commission and her sister Mila who were crying nonstop.

Meanwhile, Kiki follows the police car from behind with her bicycle, the first place she goes to is the police station, where she and San Mila have already made police reports on the kidnapping case .

Mio is being taken care of by two women from the female commission while Mila is waiting for Kiki at the police station.

Seeing Kiki coming, Mila immediately smiled bitterly.

Kiki did not immediately greet Mila when she arrived at the police station, but she directed her first words to the officer handling the case.

"In the beginning, I reported a kidnapping case, but after seeing Mio's condition, I also wanted to report this as an attempted murder case" Kiki said firmly.

The police officer frowned and replied, "The kidnapping case may be invalid because he seems to have come here on the initiative of his family. However, if we consider this a case of attempted murder, the sentence may not be so severe, given the marriage that took place."

Kiki understood the rule, but she insisted, "However, a marriage that does not get the consent of the related individual is not a legal marriage. Moreover, Mio was brought here in an unconscious state. If this is considered a marriage, it means we open the door for many women to experience something similar in the future. I'm begging you to follow up on this case and give justice to us women."

The police officer did not immediately give a decision, but he said, "Wait until the family is present and we listen to what they say."

Mila who was listening to the conversation became worried. He realized that his family would probably claim that it was a legitimate marriage and left his older sister in a wounded condition.

Mila began to cry and said, "Are we, women, just items that can be thrown here and there? We are not valued at home, and when the family is bored, they throw us into a house we do not know in an inhumane way. Is this what we call life?"

Mila told me more about the unfortunate fate of her older sister, without feeling ashamed. It made the people at the police station even more interested to find out more.

She is a stubborn girl, without shame, when she tells of the tragic fate of her older sister. While it might be embarrassing, Mila felt that this action was supported by Kiki, and that was what made her even more courageous in speaking out.

Not long after, the San family arrived in a police car. When she saw Mila there, Mila's mother was embarrassed and quickly slapped Mila while saying, "Shut up and don't embarrass us here!"

Meanwhile, San, Mila's mother, faces the police and glances at Kiki before she speaks. "Sir police, this is just a household matter. This is a misunderstanding. I hope this reporting can be stopped."

The police officer had previously suspected that the San family would support this forced marriage, but he kept asking, "Did the victim know about this marriage plan? When did he find out about this, and how did he react back then?"

He continued to throw questions in search of more profound information. The longer he talked to the San family, the more convinced that there were serious acts of domestic violence going on, and this is what should be revealed.

Grandpa San, without knowing that the police had started suspecting them of domestic violence, confidently spoke at the police station. He said, "We, ordinary villagers, teach our children in such a way. With a little bit of corporal punishment, we think it will make our children more devoted. Is that not true?"

Proudly, he continued, "First, these two sisters were very devoted children. They always work hard and help at home. In winter, they even go up the mountain in search of firewood. But somehow, lately they've changed, and I don't know why."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced sharply at Kiki, as if blaming Kiki for the cause of this change.

The comment was a very accurate guess, as Kiki did have a big impact in changing the views of the village women and helping Mio and Mila to reveal the truth.

In the middle of this conversation, the condition of the police station was getting chaotic. People who wanted to know the true events began to throng the room. They listened to every word spoken by the Chen and San family members.

The police officer handling the case feels closer to the truth. He realized that it was not only cases, attempted murder and forced marriage that had to be uncovered, but also serious domestic violence.

 Over the past few years, the state has been advancing gender equality as a fundamental principle, with the phrase that "a woman is also capable of holding up half the sky."

However, there are still many societies that have not accepted this thought fully and continue the feudal tradition in which boys are considered everything, while girls are considered only as tools.

When San's grandfather told him more about the changes in his family, the policeman smiled, not because he supported domestic violence, but because he began to see that this family could be a model in the face of feudal thinking that had to be changed.

 While weddings are arranged by matchmakers and parents, it still happens a lot, but now the state has passed a law that promotes free marriage in which both parties who will marry have the freedom to choose their partners without coercion.

Thus, the Chen family and the San family could be examples for other citizens if they reported the matter to the authorities. This will be an achievement for the police station and drive greater social change.

More than that, the victim will get the justice he deserves, and this act can be seen as "killing two birds with one stone," that is, addressing individual problems while providing examples of necessary social change.

And the most important thing is the promotion that will be obtained if this case can be resolved.

This is a bonus, Hahahaha.
