JUR-352 Unending construction noise. A married woman’s cries for help are cruelly drowned out… She is forced into a degrading situation with laborers. Ayaka Mutou

My in-laws were going to move in next door, and a renovation crew started working a few days ago. But the contractor they hired turned out to be a rough group of construction workers. The noise from the work continued late into the night, and there was trash left all over the place. When I went to complain, the argument escalated, and I was assaulted by them. After that, the sound of hammers and drills kept drowning out my voice, and I was forced to endure their abuse day after day. Before long, I found myself drawn to the crude, vulgar attention of those wild men in a way I had never felt with my husband.
