I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

Liu Dabao was gripped by immense fear, and the moment the heating furnace was being lit up in his mind kept replaying.

Liu Dabao and his colleagues were eating meat and drinking in the break room, thinking that since it was the Spring Festival, no leaders would come to check on them.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from outside, and Liu Dabao instantly sobered up. He knew very well what the loud noise in the heating furnace workshop meant.

He ran quickly towards the workshop. A ball of fire was billowing out of the heating furnace, which was still heating up. He knew what to do: turn off the power and cut off the source of heat. But he couldn't lift his feet.

The electric switch is very close to the heating furnace; if another explosion occurs, death is certain.

In a moment of panic and hesitation, he saw a figure of fire running out from behind the heater; it was Chen Yan.

He risked his life to turn off the power, and the flames from the furnace burned him.

Colleagues rushed to the scene to rescue people. The heating furnace was making muffled explosions from time to time. Some of the colleagues suffered minor burns, but fortunately, no major explosions occurred.

Liu Dabao has been detained for three months and has been interrogated several times, but there has been no trial yet.

How did it turn out like this?

It all started with the nonsense I uttered that night.

After Liu Dabao got married, he and his wife Yu Huaxiang were considered to be loving. Until that day, when they were making love, a sudden storm broke out outside. Liu Dabao lost control and grabbed Yu Huaxiang by the neck, roaring, "Why? Why do you have to like Lu Han? You bitch, what's wrong with me? Since you say you'd rather die than be with me, then die... die... you filthy bitch."

Yu Huaxiang was terrified by Liu Dabao's ferocious face and struggled desperately to break free. Liu Dabao gripped her tighter and tighter. Yu Huaxiang grabbed a book on the bed and smashed it hard on Liu Dabao's head, thus escaping a terrible ordeal.

Yu Huaxiang fled back to her parents' home that very night. Liu Dabao came to apologize to her parents multiple times, but Yu Huaxiang insisted on getting a divorce no matter what.

He divorced his wife after spending all his parents' savings to marry her. How could he get a divorce?

Yu Huaxiang was a sent-down youth who had spent many years working in the countryside; she was no pushover.

She inquired around and learned that a young and beautiful woman named Kong Xiange from the machinery factory had been raped and murdered on a stormy night.

Yu Huaxiang was convinced that the murderer was Liu Dabao, and that if he could kill Kong Xiange, he could kill her too.

When Yu Huaxiang met with Liu Dabao, she bluntly said, "If you don't agree to the divorce, I'll spread the word that you murdered Kong Xiange."

Liu Dabao was both angry and resentful, and his mood was also very irritable, so he drank with his colleagues to relieve his sorrow.

The heater kept heating up, and Liu Dabao's mind was filled with Kong Xiange's wails, so he completely forgot about turning off the power.

When the furnace exploded, in addition to Chen Yan suffering severe burns, seven or eight other colleagues were also injured.

The police are investigating the cause of the accident and the factory's losses, which are important data for sentencing.

Yu Huaxiang came once, not to visit Liu Dabao, but to get Liu Dabao to sign the divorce papers.

Liu Dabao signed the papers; he had no reason to try and keep Yu Huaxiang.

Yu Huaxiang said coldly, "Liu Dabao, you look honest and kind, and I thought you were a good man to settle down with. Who knew that behind your honesty was a twisted heart? Kong Xiange was just a friend you'd met a few times, and you didn't even know her well, yet you raped and murdered her?"

How wronged she was! How agonizing her parents' suffering! It's not that I lack evidence; I would have sued you and made you pay for her death. By the way, I'm pregnant, but I didn't keep the child. Your genes are truly terrifying.

Liu Dabao's face turned ashen, his lips pale: "You, you, that's your child too?"

"He's my child, but I don't want to end up like your mother, begging and pleading for a son like you, crying day and night. You're probably thinking you'll kill me after you get out of prison, right? Liu Dabao, I won't be a wrongfully killed ghost. Once I get the divorce certificate, I'll leave Huailin, and you'll never see me again in this lifetime."

Yu Huaxiang left heartlessly, vowing never to see this man again in this lifetime.

His wife was gone, his child was gone, and his parents begged and pleaded everywhere. Liu Dabao roared and banged on the iron bars of the detention center, shouting, "Let me out! Let me out!"

Liu's parents sought out Yang Zheng, hoping to appeal to Commander Zhou on their behalf out of consideration for their past relationship, but Chen Hong scolded them away.

For his son's future, he went to see Tang Ping again. Tang Ping was so angry that his head hurt. Because of Liu Dabao's mistake, the heating furnace burned out, and the eighth-level fitter could no longer hold the pliers. He, the factory director, almost got dismissed. All the losses added up to at least three or four hundred thousand.

Tang Ping said to Liu's parents, "Master Liu, considering you're a long-time employee, I advise you to stay home and wait for the police investigation results. No one can save Liu Dabao."

No one could save Liu Dabao. Three months later, the procuratorate held a public trial for the machinery factory explosion case. Liu Dabao was sentenced to eight years in prison and dismissed from his public office for dereliction of duty, which caused significant damage to the factory.

Other employees who drank alcohol were also found to have committed serious misconduct and were all dismissed from their posts. The deputy team leader was sentenced to three years in prison.

The accident at the machinery factory has finally come to an end, but Chen Yan, who was injured, will have to undergo a long period of treatment.

"Little Grass, here's some braised pork Mom made for your brother."

It was visiting day again. Aunt Liu packed her clothes. She wasn't going today; she knew that going would make her sick. Xiao Cao wouldn't let her go.

"Alright, stop worrying about my brother. Get well soon and wait for him to come out. That's more important than anything else."

"You child, you hold such a grudge. Even if he broke the law, he's still your brother."

"Yes, he's my brother. I've never denied it. Just because he's my brother, I'm laughed at at work, my boyfriend broke up with me, and I have nothing left. And you're still thinking about whether he eats braised pork or not," Xiaocao retorted angrily.

"I know you're upset, but what can we do? We're in this mess. Are we, as parents, just going to ignore him and watch him fend for himself?"

As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll bring it. I'll bring him all the good food." Little Grass couldn't bear it when her mother started crying.

"When disaster strikes, even birds scatter. If Yang Zheng had just said a word in your defense, your brother wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Uncle Liu sighed, still harboring resentment towards Yang Zheng.

"It was his master who was burned, and you still asked him to plead for him? Dad, wake up! Why should he help us?"

"Don't even mention it, it's upsetting. He used to be so close to your brother, but now that your brother is in trouble, he hasn't said a single kind word to you," Aunt Liu said angrily.

"Are you all possessed? Yang Zheng made him drink the wine. If it weren't for Master Chen, your sons would probably have been blown up long ago."

"You brat, whose side are you taking? Are you even a member of the Liu family?"

Aunt Liu was so angry that she wanted to hit Xiaocao, but Xiaocao, carrying a bag of things, turned around and left.

My brother's personality is a result of being spoiled by our parents.
