Owen stayed in the factory for a while, explaining the working principle of the internal combustion engine and other knowledge to Gita and the dwarf craftsmen.

It was up to them to think and solve how to build military vehicles. Owen had already taught him everything he knew.

"You can discuss the rest by yourselves. I'm going back." Owen said goodbye to everyone.

"Your Majesty, walk slowly."

After everyone sent Owen away, they went back to look at the drawings and discuss the above designs.

The air after the rain is fresh and natural, which is really comfortable.

On the way back to the castle, Owen couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt that his whole body and mind had been cleansed.

At this moment, a scene of violent beatings appeared on the street ahead, ruining Irving's good mood.

On the street, a man caught up with the woman who was running away in front of her, knocked her to the ground, and then punched and kicked her very harshly.

The woman on the ground desperately protected a wooden box in her arms, unwilling to let go even though she was beaten until she kept wailing.

"Smelly bitch!"

The man beat and cursed: "Now is the time when the private money you have hidden comes into play, hand it over quickly!"

"This is the last money in the family, you can't take it away." The woman cried, "Otherwise, we won't even be able to eat, and our son will also starve."

"Bring it quickly!"

In this case, the man had no choice but to take action himself and reached out to grab the wooden box in the woman's arms.

"As long as I win the bet, I can have a lot of meat and fish tonight, do you know?"

"But you've never won a bet!"

The woman hugged the wooden box tightly to prevent it from being snatched away.

"That was all before." The man said with an inexplicable confidence, "Today I feel that my gambling luck has come. I can definitely win and get back all the money I lost in the past! Give it to me quickly!"

Seeing something like this happening ahead, Mapel frowned slightly and turned back to Irving for instructions.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Let's go over and take a look." Owen said.

After all, the woman's strength was not as strong as that of the man, and the wooden box in her arms was quickly taken away.

Just when the man looked happy and was about to leave, Owen's guards rushed to the scene and surrounded the two men.

Mapel, who looked serious, then walked up to the two men and said sternly to the man: "You are so bold to beat people and rob things in front of His Majesty!"

His Majesty?!

When the surrounding spectators saw the king walking slowly from behind, they all knelt down.

The man was even more frightened, his legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground quickly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"What happened?"

Owen was a little far away before and didn't know the content of what the two people were talking about.

As if seeing a savior, the woman on the ground quickly crawled to Owen, knelt down instead, and cried: "Your Majesty the King, please save my husband, he is possessed."

Save the husband? These two are actually a couple?! But that man showed no mercy at all.

"Possessed? What happened to your husband? Why did he punch and kick you?" Owen asked.

"He went crazy with gambling and insisted on gambling with the last remaining money in the family." The woman turned back and pointed at the wooden box in the man's hand. "I really couldn't stop him, so I had no choice but to take the money and run away."

gamble?!

Upon hearing this word, Owen immediately became alert.

There is actually a casino in Dawn City? This is not a good thing.

“We’ll talk about the details later.”

Considering that this place is relatively close to the city hall, Irving turned to the guard and ordered: "Bring these two people to the city hall. I want to hear the matter personally. In addition, go and ask the senior priest to come over and treat this woman.

trauma."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the guards nodded.

In the town hall, Owen asked in detail the ins and outs of the matter.

The man is an ordinary carpenter who was originally a member of the construction team of Dawn City. His salary alone is enough for the family to live a relatively good life.

But he got addicted to gambling and became addicted to it day by day. He even quit his job and gambled away all his savings.

Even so, the man still firmly believes that he can win the next gamble, which is a serious gambler's mentality.

Although the woman does not have a formal job, she will find some odd jobs in her spare time while taking care of the family.

The money stored in the wooden box was something she had saved little by little to prepare for emergencies.

Their son is currently studying in school.

What happened is actually very simple. The man gambled away all his money and knew that his wife had the habit of hiding private money, so he went home and forced her to hand it over.

The woman didn't want to, so the man rummaged around the house and successfully found the wooden box where the money was kept.

Upon seeing this, the woman took back the wooden box and ran out of the house, with the man chasing after her. Then the scene she just saw on the street happened.

What was right and what was wrong, it was obvious that it was all that man's fault.

Moreover, Owen also learned that the man had often committed domestic violence against the woman in the past.

But just when Owen was about to punish the man, the woman kept pleading for her husband, saying that she just wanted him to understand his mistakes and didn't want to see him punished.

The man was so cruel to his wife just now, why does the woman still favor her husband? Is it because of feelings? Or is it for other reasons?

This makes Owen a little puzzled. It is really troublesome to try family affairs.

There was no other way. Owen finally warned the man and asked him to return the wooden box to the woman and sign and fingerprint the guarantee letter, promising not to participate in gambling in the future, not to use violence against his wife at will, and to go back and find a job again.

The man didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the king, so he did everything.

After doing these things, Owen told the woman that if her husband still refused to correct his mistakes, he could always seek help from the city hall or the police station.

Thinking that her husband would change his ways after this, the woman kept thanking the king.

"Right."

At the end of the trial, Owen also suggested to the woman: "If your husband is still violent towards you and you really can't stand it, you can apply to the city hall for divorce."

"Divorce?" The woman didn't understand.

Irving explained this: "The couple will dissolve their relationship under the witness of the city hall. From now on, they can live their own lives and are not allowed to harass each other."

"No, no, no." The woman shook her head crazily, "We can't divorce. We still have a son. What should we do if we leave our son?"

After talking for a few words, Owen found that the woman was very afraid of divorce. Not only did she have various concerns, but she also believed that once she got divorced, she would have nothing.

No wonder she is so partial to her husband, even if she is violently treated, she just tolerates it.

After accepting Winster's ideas, Irving was very supportive of women's independence.
