Zhou Yuting cried out hoarsely, "No, no, he's my brother, please, let him go."

Liu Atu didn't believe her. Over the past year, she had lied to herself countless times.

"If he weren't so smart, this woman would have run away long ago," he said stubbornly. "He said he would take you away, how could he take you away? Brother? Do you think I'm stupid? I think he's a lover!"

Zhou Yuting shook her head desperately; "No, he really is my brother, his name is Zhou Ziqing. Please let him go, and I'll stay here and live a good life with you from now on, okay? I'll never run away again."

Liu Atu had heard this sentence at least eight or ten times, so how could he possibly believe it? "Seeing how nervous you are, I almost believed it myself."

He walked step by step toward Zhou Ziqing, who was so dizzy that she could not stand up.

Having been poisoned and having just fought with Liu Atu, he was now nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

Zhou Yuting crawled forward two steps, grabbed Liu Atu's leg, and pleaded tearfully, "Don't kill him, he really is my brother, please let him go, I'm begging you."

Seeing Zhou Yuting heartbroken over another man, the malice in his eyes intensified. He knelt down, pried her fingers apart one by one, and patted her face, saying, "Don't cry, this will all be over soon, and no one will bother us anymore."

Zhou Yuting was on the verge of despair. She would rather her brother had never found her than see her die in front of her.

Liu Atu walked up to Zhou Ziqing, took out a dagger from his pocket, and stabbed him in the chest several times until he stopped breathing.

"No, no!"

Zhou Yuting felt like she had cried all her tears out, and she crawled step by step toward Zhou Ziqing.

Liu Atu stood aside and watched all of this with indifference.

Zhou Yuting crawled to Zhou Ziqing's side and threw herself on him, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Her lower abdomen was still throbbing with pain. She couldn't die; she had to avenge her brother.

On the night her brother died, she gave birth to Liu Atu's child.

She hated him so much; she hated the child, and she hated Liu Atu for ruining her life.

On the same day after she gave birth, Liu Atu took her away from the deep mountains and traveled to Guangyuan.

He wanted to avenge his brother, but Liu Atu was too wary.

But the moment she saw Su Li in Guangyuan, she thought of a good idea.

Since Su Li dislikes her so much, then let them go to hell together!

Su Li always felt that Zhou Yuting's gaze was very strange when she looked at her from behind.

It seems she needs to be more careful in the future.

After returning home, Su Li changed the baby's diaper and gave him formula.

After seeing that he had fallen asleep, she went straight into the space.

The space has already stored up several warehouses of food, and also a lot of herbs.

There were so many kinds of fruit that it was impossible to count them all.

But these things can't be taken out now, so Su Li picked a small durian from the tree.

This is her spiritual nourishment; she never gets tired of the durian in her space.

Before I knew it, I had eaten almost half of it.

It was almost noon, and I figured Gousheng and Xiaocao would be back in a little while.

She quickly brushed her teeth and took a shower, worried that the durian smell on her body would cause people to mistake her for having diarrhea, just like last time.

Since Gousheng and Xiaocao came, they've basically taken care of all the housework. I thought I'd have some free time today.

Su Li planned to cook something delicious today; she was actually craving braised goose in an iron pot.

But there were no geese in the room, so she thought she'd make chicken stew in an iron pot! She also made some steamed buns and put them on top.

Just thinking about the taste of the steamed buns soaking up the stewed chicken broth makes her mouth water.

Su Li caught a chicken in her spatial dimension, killed it and plucked its feathers with her consciousness, then took it out, cleaned it, and chopped it into pieces.

She also took some vegetables out of the storage space and put them in the vegetable cabinet.

During this time, when they cooked, she didn't dare take any food from her spatial storage; they ate what was available in the yard.

Su Li was halfway through cooking when Liu Xiaocao returned. Seeing Su Li in the kitchen, she quickly came over to help.

"Sister Su Li, next time you can wait for me to come back and cook dinner."

Su Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to make something different today and let you taste my cooking. How have you been working at the factory lately?"

Liu Xiaocao said happily, "It's great. Deputy Factory Director Li arranged for me to do cleaning work. He also told me that he would pay me twenty-five yuan a month. Sister Su Li, I don't want the salary. You saved my life back then, and now you're giving me food to eat. I'm already very grateful."

Su Li smiled and said, "You will be paid. Work hard, and if you have time, take a literacy class during your breaks to enrich yourself. Once you know more characters, I will ask Deputy Factory Director Li to arrange other work for you."

Liu Xiaocao felt very lucky to have met such a good person as Su Li; "Sister Su Li, you are so good to me, I will definitely do my best in the future."

As soon as Gousheng reached the gate of the courtyard, he smelled a delicious aroma, and he immediately guessed that his sister must have cooked for him today.

Whenever Su Li cooks, the food smells especially delicious.

He entered the yard and went straight to the kitchen. "Sister, what are you making today? It smells so good!"

When Su Li saw him return, she smiled and said, "Go wash your hands quickly, dinner will be ready soon. Today we're making stewed chicken in an iron pot."

The three of them had just sat down at the table, and Su Li had only taken a bite of the steamed bun, not even tasting the chicken, when they heard a "bang bang bang" knocking on the courtyard gate.
