How could Lin Sisi possibly listen to him?

Not only did she not leave, but after locking the door latch, she began to take off her clothes.

Gu Mingzhou was already at his limit when the girl's body came into his view. He narrowed his eyes and, as she pulled her skirt halfway off, he immediately got up, pulled her into his arms, and tore the skirt off her body.

This was entirely a manifestation of his lack of self-control.

He pressed Lin Sisi down onto the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at her with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth as he took off his own clothes.

"Lin Sisi, you brought this on yourself."

Then, Gu's mother heard loud noises coming from inside the house and knew what the two people were doing, so she went back to her own room.

The next morning, when Lin Sisi got up, Gu Mingzhou was nowhere to be found.

Last night, Gu Mingzhou tormented her severely. Besides the mottled hickeys, her body was covered with many bruises, which were caused by Gu Mingzhou pinching and kneading her.

That man was truly cruel; it was as if he was deliberately torturing her.

Fortunately, she got what she wanted.

She hopes to conceive Gu Mingzhou's child successfully this time, and that Gu Mingzhou will become dependent on her after experiencing it once.

After Lin Sisi got up, Gu's mother asked her about what happened last night. Of course, Lin Sisi didn't go into details, but said, "Mom, that medicine was really powerful."

Gu's mother nodded. "Now that he has taken you, he shouldn't neglect you anymore. I hope you can get pregnant this time, and then I can finally put my mind at ease."

She subconsciously looked at Lin Sisi's neck, "Take good care of that jade pendant, and don't lose it."

"I know, Mom, I won't lose it."

She treasured this jade pendant even more than Gu's mother.

With nothing to do at home, Lin Qingyan spent her time either tidying up the house or chatting with Aunt Zhang. For the first time, her life was so leisurely.

Yang Qiuyue would also bring out shoe soles to join in their fun, chatting with them while sewing shoe soles.

Sister Zhang suggested, "The mushrooms on the mountain are growing really well right now. Let's go mushroom picking this afternoon."

Lin Qingyan had no objection. "I'm bored at home and was just thinking of wandering around."

“I’ll go too, and pick more. If we can’t finish them all, we can dry them and save them for winter.”

They had just finished discussing it when Lin Sisi arrived.

Lin Sisi was bored at home with Gu's mother. Gu's mother went to sleep, so she went out to find Yang Qiuyue to play.

Before she even reached Yang Qiuyue's doorstep, she saw Yang Qiuyue sitting at her own door, with Lin Qingyan and another sister-in-law beside her.

If she hated Lin Qingyan in the past, it was mostly because of Gu Mingzhou's affection for Lin Qingyan.

Now that Gu Mingzhou has slept with her, the possibility of him getting back together with Lin Qingyan has become even smaller.

She walked over and greeted Yang Qiuyue first: "Sister-in-law Qiuyue."

Yang Qiuyue had no idea about what happened between him and Lin Qingyan.

Even if she found out, their personal grudges had nothing to do with her and wouldn't affect her relationship with Lin Sisi.

"Oh, Sisi's here."

"I was bored at home, so I came out to chat with my sister-in-law."

"Okay, okay." Yang Qiuyue offered her her stool: "Sisi, you sit down first, I'll go home and get another one."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

She sat down on the bench that Yang Qiuyue had used before. Next to her was Sister Zhang, and Lin Qingyan was next to Sister Zhang.

She and Gu Mingzhou had been married for several months and had lived in this compound for just as long. Aunt Zhang recognized her and knew that she was Gu Mingzhou's wife.

Gu Mingzhou's relationship with Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting is not good, so his relationship with his wife is probably not much better. The following conversation may be a bit awkward.

Sure enough, she turned her head and saw Lin Qingyan's displeased expression.

Lin Qingyan didn't want to pay attention to Lin Sisi, but she had no right to stop others from associating with Lin Sisi, so she told Aunt Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not feeling well, I'm going home now."

"Okay, go back and get some rest."

"Um."

Lin Sisi didn't say anything about Lin Qingyan's departure.

When Yang Qiuyue came out, she didn't see Lin Qingyan, so she asked Zhang's wife where Lin Qingyan was. Zhang's wife told her that Lin Qingyan was feeling unwell and had gone home to rest.

"Is she alright? She seemed fine to me just now."

"It's probably nothing serious. I'll go in and check it out later."

"good."

The three of them chatted for a while, talking about trivial things. Around noon, Aunt Zhang went home to cook, and a little while later, Yang Qiuyue also went home.

Lin Sisi said, "Sister-in-law, I'll come see you again this afternoon."

Yang Qiuyue remembered that she was going to pick mushrooms on the mountain that afternoon. "I've already discussed it with Qingyan and Sister Zhang. We're going to pick mushrooms on the mountain this afternoon. Sisi, do you want to come with us?"

"I'll go, I'll go."

"Okay, I'll come and call you when we're leaving."

"Okay, sister-in-law."
