Chapter 10 - 010. Big Brother’s Remorse
Shuzhen had no idea her second sister-in-law was planning to stay by her side, otherwise she would have raised both hands in opposition. She put aside whether it was comfortable or convenient, because having just acquired a superpower, what she was most concerned about was having a private space to experiment as much as possible. She heard that the more you practice with this power, the more skilled and powerful you become. She was eager for a prosperous future, and couldn’t wait to start practicing. Why would she want to be watched by her brother and sister-in-law day and night?
The Liu Shuzhen who lived and died for Dai Weiguo and wished for death over life for him was already dead. Now her only concern was marrying Brother Lianshan and giving birth to their five adorable kids from their past life. A happy and harmonious life for their family, sweet and loving. As for Dai Weiguo, he was nothing but a symbol of a scumbag, a mismatched partner she chose when blinded. There was naturally resentment and grievance after being divorced, humiliated, and having her child taken away, but revenge was beyond her ability, so she could only consider him a pile of dog crap and endure his stench.
As for anything else, Shuzhen didn’t want to waste any thought on him. As for losing her mind over him, she had even less interest in doing so.
Sadly, in her brother and sister-in-law’s view, her attempt to jump into the river for a heartless person just this morning was concerning, so keeping an eye on her was absolutely necessary until they were sure she had truly come to her senses.
Of course, this unfortunate reality would gradually dawn on Shuzhen in the days to follow. How she would regain her freedom depended entirely on her behavior.
Under the insistence of her second sister-in-law, she first had a bowl of millet rice with beans stewed with potatoes, stir-fried eggplant with green chili, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and cucumber salad. After soothing her growling stomach, Shuzhen firmly rejected her second sister-in-law’s kind offer to let her take a nap in bed. The two women anxiously watched the entrance, worried about the brothers who hadn’t returned even as the sun set and the moon rose.
The later it got, the more anxious they became, fearing the two brothers would suffer under the hands of the Wu family’s bunch. They worried so much that they almost lit torches to go meet them on the path, finally waiting for the brothers to return, clothes dirty and faces bearing a few suspicious scratch marks.
Seeing her normally treasured husband was actually injured, Su Hongying exploded on the spot: "What’s going on, the father of my child? Who the hell has the guts to lay hands on Su Hongying’s man? Tell me who it is, and I’ll go back to my family and rally people. This won’t end until that bastard is beaten so badly their parents won’t recognize them!"
You think you can bully the Liu family’s two brothers because they’re outnumbered?
