But no matter what Wang Huilian said, Chen Hongmei pretended not to hear it and played dead.

Seeing this, Wang Huilian couldn't help but feel anxious: "Hongmei, you can't do this. Do you think your grandfather will keep you at home?"

"Even if I tie you up tomorrow, I'll still send you back. Since you're going to have to go back eventually, why don't you take the initiative and save yourself the suffering?"

Wang Huilian felt a little disappointed with her daughter, although she always protected her daughter when talking to Shen Chunshu.

But in fact, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Hongmei in her heart.

As a little girl, if you don't know how to use your advantage as a woman to coax men, but always go against men, how can you live a good life?

Wang Huilian kept nagging at Shen Hongmei for a long time, but to no avail, so she got up and left in anger.

Before leaving, Wang Huilian looked at Chen Hongmei lying on the kang and said with some heartache: "As a woman, this is our fate. You have to accept it whether you want to or not. Who made you reincarnate into my belly?"

"If you want to escape from this quagmire, you can only pray to be reborn as a man in your next life!"

After saying this, Wang Huilian walked out of the west room without looking back.

No matter how Chen Hongmei returns to Zhaojiawan tomorrow, she has said what she should say and advised what she should advise, and she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

She couldn't possibly drag her entire family into this just for one daughter.

Wang Huilian's words not only touched Shen Hongmei, but also Hu Lili who was standing beside her felt the same way.

Her parents were both prominent figures, but when faced with the quota for going to the countryside, her parents, who usually doted on her, chose their daughter without hesitation and gave the opportunity to stay in the city to their son.

Hu Lili lowered her head with some sadness and said softly: "Your mother is right. Whether in the countryside or in the city, we women must give way to men."

Shen Hongmei didn't know that Hu Lili also had a lonely side. She opened her eyes and looked at Hu Lili next to her, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Don't your parents like you either?"

Hu Lili gave a bitter smile: "I can't say I don't like him, but I can never have more than my brother."

Shen Hongmei never expected that this seemingly pampered city girl would be abandoned by her parents like herself.

"If you were me, what would you do?" Shen Hongmei asked Hu Lili with lifeless eyes.

She is very confused now.

I can't live, and I don't want to die.

She is less than 20 years old, but she sees no hope for her future life.

Now Shen Hongmei desperately hopes that someone can give her some guidance.

Hu Lili didn't expect Shen Hongmei to ask her such a question. She frowned and thought for a while: "If it were me, I would never let myself fall to your situation."

"First, I will not marry a vulgar man like your man. Even if I marry a man like that, I will not let myself be beaten every day."

"What is a woman's mouth for? Besides eating, it's for talking! Saying the right thing to the right man is a real skill."

"Your mother was right. Women should use their strengths to earn the life they want in difficult situations."

"There are good and bad ways to live, but the most important thing is to make yourself happy."

"As for the misfortunes in life, just find a way to get rid of them. Otherwise, unless you are determined to die, you will be the one who suffers in the end!"

"Life is only a few decades long, why bother?"

The life you want?

Unlucky? Remove it?

Shen Hongmei kept chewing these two sentences in her heart.

Before she married Zhao Changgui, she had also imagined her future life.

She imagined her life to be to marry a tall and handsome man, just like... just like Zhao Ping'an, then have a few kids, and live happily every day.

Thinking of Zhao Ping'an, Shen Hongmei felt a pang of pain in her heart.

The man she fell in love with at first sight now doesn't even dare to look at her in front of outsiders.

He is so handsome and speaks gently, not at all rude like Zhao Changgui.

But I was like a grain of sand that was stepped into the mud, being carried deeper and deeper by the mud.

I once naively thought that it would be good to marry him so that I could see him every day.

But every time when it was late at night and that disgusting man Zhao Changgui touched her, she wanted to go crazy when she thought of the man she loved lying beside her.

My heart feels like there are ten thousand ants gnawing at it.

Next, Shen Hongmei remembered what Hu Lili said about getting rid of the things that are not going well. So what is not going well for her?

Shen Hongmei stared at the window in a daze. All her misfortunes came from Zhao Changgui.

If Zhao Changgui is gone...

Then does that mean I don’t have to get beaten?

Can I still be with the person I love for a long time?

Once this idea came up, it was like a spark falling on dry firewood, and it was out of control.

Shen Hongmei suddenly hugged her head tightly with both hands, she knew that she was caught up in a terrible idea.

But no matter how she persuaded herself to give up, this vicious thought continued to rise in her mind.

Hu Lili looked at Shen Hongmei with some surprise as she suddenly rolled around on the kang, and quickly moved away from her.

She suddenly felt that these people in the Shen family were a little abnormal.

What Hu Lili didn't know was that because of some of her unintentional words, she completely pushed Shen Hongmei onto a path of no return.

The next day, Wang Huilian thought that there would be chaos at home again and she would tie up Shen Hongmei and take her back to Zhao's house, but she didn't expect that she would get up by herself.

Wang Huilian thought she had figured it out, so she held her hand, stroked Shen Hongmei's hair, and taught her earnestly: "It's great that you can figure it out, Hongmei, you have to change your temper, otherwise you will suffer, do you understand?"

Shen Hongmei looked up at her mother and suddenly smiled: "I've figured it out. I have to create a happy life by myself."

Wang Huilian hugged Shen Hongmei excitedly: "Yes, yes, it's great that you can come to your senses. My Hongmei has finally grown up."

"You go back with your father and make sure to talk to Changgui and ask him to give the family a chance to live. Whether the whole family can be safe this time depends on you."

"Hurry up and wrap your scarf around you so you don't get cold."

Shen Hongmei looked straight ahead, numbly following Old Man Shen and the remaining two brothers, Shen Chunshu, into the wilderness.

Wang Huilian looked at their backs, with both expectation and worry in her eyes.

What she didn't know was that after this departure, Shen Hongmei would never be able to turn back.
