Ms. Lou couldn't take it and of course ran back to her parents' home after being beaten.
The Lou family couple came to Ruan Kewei to settle the score, but Ruan Kewei, emboldened by alcohol, beat the Lou couple too.
Once he sobered up, Ruan Hai asked him to go and apologize, saying it was the alcohol's fault, but no actual punishment followed.
With Ruan Hai handling the aftermath, Ruan Kewei became more aggressive, and his actions became less considerate.
At first, the Lou family couple thought to advise Ms. Lou to avoid him or to say nice things, thinking there would be some way to cool Ruan Kewei's anger. But nothing worked, and the injuries on Ms. Lou became more severe each time.
The Lou family couple couldn't stand it anymore and decided to take Ms. Lou away and separate from Ruan Kewei. Even if they didn't separate and were just divorced by Ruan Kewei, it would be better than being beaten to death.
