The woman trembled and clenched her fists tightly. She lowered her head, her eyes filled with strong hatred and killing intent. She gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to kill the person in front of her.
Seeing that Madam Sun did not respond for a long time, Zheng Lianda became impatient and pushed her fiercely. “Did you hear me?”
Madam Sun said with difficulty, “Yes.”
Satisfied with her obedient attitude, Zheng Lianda pushed Madam Sun into the kitchen.
Madam Sun lowered her head and entered the kitchen.
Zheng Lianda looked at Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie, who were busy in the kitchen, and couldn’t stop smiling. He thought that Liu Sanniang was a beautiful girl, but he didn’t expect her to be so good at cooking.
Zheng Lianda. “Did Miss Liu make all of this? It’s great. It smells good. I’m in for a treat.”
When Lin Jie heard Zheng Lianda’s voice, he felt so disgusted that he wanted to hit him. He lowered his head and did not want to look or listen.
Liu Sanniang did not say anything. Zheng Lianda was in a good mood and did not care if Liu Sanniang ignored him or not. In his opinion, Liu Sanniang was fish on his chopping board.
Zheng Lianda instructed Madam Sun, “Keep the wine warm for me later. It’s a cold day. It’ll only feel better if I drink something warm.”
Zheng Lianda knew that Madam Sun did not dare to disobey him and would do as he instructed, so he turned around and left. He hummed a tune and returned to his room to wait for dinner.
Madam Sun brought the wine jar to the stove to heat it up.
She lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes.
The chicken and duck were stewed together and were very fragrant. Liu Sanniang opened the lid of the pot and scooped a bowl of soup for Madam Sun. “Auntie, drink some. This is nourishing.”
Madam Sun blinked and reached out to take the bowl. Without looking at Liu Sanniang, she said in a low voice, “Miss Liu, if you can’t find your second brother, what will you do?”
The soup was so fragrant. Madam Sun took small sips.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “We’ll find him.”
Madam Sun felt a lump in her throat. She finished drinking and put down the bowl without saying a word.
Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie washed their hands and said gently, “Auntie, we’ll go out first.”
Before Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie could leave the kitchen, Madam Sun stopped them in a hoarse voice. “Miss Liu, run. My husband is a beast. He wants me to harm you. 1 know what he’s up to. 1 can’t bear to see you suffer.”
Madam Sun looked at Liu Sanniang’s gentle eyes. They were so clean. Her vision was blurry and tears fell. If her child could be saved, it would be as old as Liu Sanniang.
Madam Sun hated Zheng Lianda to the core. She already had the intention to die with him. Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie’s unexpected arrival ruined her plan. She could not bear to let Liu Sanniang fall into the tiger’s mouth.
Madam Sun choked. “Don’t look for your second brother. You won’t be able to find him. Leave quickly. I’ll think of a way to stall him.”
Zheng Lianda would definitely be furious if he found out that the fish on his chopping board had fled. What awaited Madam Sun was probably a painful beating. However, she knew that Zheng Lianda would not beat her to death. He still wanted to keep her as a slave.
Madam Sun looked at Liu Sanniang and wanted her and Lin Jie to leave.
Lin Jie looked at Madam Sun in surprise. “You’re very different.”
Madam Sun’s kindness was completely beyond Lin Jie’s expectations. After all, Madam Sun had suffered her entire life. Kind-heartedness should have long disappeared in her. However, she was actually willing to protect Liu Sanniang and him.
It was impossible for her not to know the consequences of letting them go. However, even if she knew, she still decided to do it. Lin Jie frowned and tried to think why.
Why was she willing to suffer to save people?
Madam Sun did not understand what Lin Jie was saying. She pushed Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie anxiously. “Just go. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.” Liu Sanniang grabbed Madam Sun’s hand and said softly, “Auntie is kind-hearted. You wanted to save me, but why would you give up on yourself?”
Madam Sun looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes. Her entire body seemed to have been frozen by some kind of force. She looked at Liu Sanniang in disbelief. Looking into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, she suddenly understood something. The girl in front of her seemed to know everything about her.
Liu Sanniang released a force that silently enveloped Madam Sun.
Warmth washed away the pain and exhaustion in Madam Sun’s heart. She shed tears and revealed her heart to Liu Sanniang. “Back then, when 1 got married, my body was weak and I couldn’t get pregnant for a few years. He punched and kicked me. Later, when 1 got pregnant, he kicked me and caused me to miscarry… Later, when I got pregnant again, I was slapped by him day and night and had a miscarriage. He always called me a hen that can’t lay eggs. I’m really glad that 1 didn’t give birth to his children. I hated him for the rest of my life. I couldn’t take it anymore…” 𝓝𝗈𝗏𝔢𝓵𝑛𝐄xt.𝚌𝐎𝓂
Tears streamed down Madam Sun’s face.
She could not even control herself. It was as if this way, she could cry out all the pain and grievances in her heart.
Liu Sanniang gently patted the back of Madam Sun’s hand. “Auntie, the food is ready. Let’s eat first.”
Madam Sun looked at Liu Sanniang in confusion. She did not know why she would open herself up to Liu Sanniang. Instead, she said to Liu Sanniang, “Leave quickly. I’ve survived for so many years. One more beating is not going to kill me.”
Madam Sun knew that Liu Sanniang was looking for her brother. She gritted her teeth and said, “Your second brother has entered the voodoo village. It’s impossible for him to go home. That night, I saw with my own eyes that my husband drugged that soldier and got people to take him away. The voodoo village has taken a fancy to him. There’s nothing you can do. Just pretend that he’s gone.”
As Madam Sun spoke, she was about to push Liu Sanniang out.
But for some reason, she couldn’t move Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang stood there with a gentle expression.
“Auntie, thank you. I won’t leave. I’m here to look for my second brother. There will be a good life for you in the future. Don’t give up on yourself.”
Madam Sun looked at Liu Sanniang in a daze.
Lin Jie went to get the bowls and chopsticks. “Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”
Madam Sun felt that she was no longer herself. The meat was extremely fragrant. At this moment, she could not even remember Zheng Lianda’s existence..
