The apocalypse descended, and after enduring numerous hardships, Chu Xi lost all her loved ones, barely surviving.
Fifteen years into the apocalypse, accustomed to being low-key and cautious,...
Without caring what the man behind him thought, Shi Peng quickly arrived at the Shi family's old house. Just as he was about to push open the door, he heard the sarcastic voice in the yard.
"It's all the fault of that jinx from the Third Brother's family. She's always been a magnet for attention. She's seduced every girl my precious daughter likes. She's also so vicious and violent that she dares to hit people. She should be sent to a labor camp. She's made it so hard for my Xiu to eat all day..."
"Exactly. When I see that bitch now, I want to tear her vixen-like face apart!"
"That's an unlucky woman. Nothing good has happened to her since she married into our family!"
However, Shi Xiu had not recovered from the beating she received from Chu Xi in the past two days, and her face had accidentally started to become inflamed again. She was in so much pain that she couldn't eat. You know, Shi Xiu was never polite when eating in this family. She was always spoiled by her parents, but she didn't know how to take care of others. It could almost be said that she was spoiled.
Feeling the waves of pain in his body, Shi Xiu felt uncomfortable looking at the food in front of him. Although it was not the kind of pain that pierced his heart, it was still very uncomfortable. Moreover, it was a tearing pain on his face. He could hardly open his mouth, and it hurt so much that he sweated when he ate.
Here we have to talk about the sanitary conditions in the countryside. Although Shi Xiu has developed a good habit of cleanliness in high school, how can she keep her wounds dry and free of water in such a simple environment?
Eventually, several areas of her body and face began to itch, become inflamed, red, and swollen. She felt so uncomfortable that she always wanted to scratch them, but her family's financial situation did not allow her to go to the hospital whenever she wanted.
She could only cry helplessly, helplessly enduring the torment of pain. So, with her malicious heart and never finding fault with herself, she started cursing Chu Xi again in the afternoon, which naturally resonated with Old Lady Shi...
The eldest and second son's wives, who were bored, chimed in. Before they got married, they could share the allowance sent back regularly every month by the third son, and their family life was quite good compared to the other villagers. But since the family split up, they've been working harder but their lives have become worse...
Of course, these words were also heard by Shi Peng, who had finally managed to visit his relatives. He felt that something was wrong with his family the last time he came back, and he gradually learned about the life his wife and children had lived before. He felt guilty for not being good enough for his wife, and could only secretly swear to treat them well in the future!
As for the people in the Shi family, they were his parents and siblings who gave birth to him and raised him. He could only gradually distance himself from them, there was nothing else he could do.
Hearing these vicious words again, he couldn't help it. His face turned pale, his fists were clenched so tightly that they even made crackling sounds, which showed that he was extremely angry!
This is simply not treating his family as a family! Suddenly, he once again remembered a passage he accidentally heard when he was a child, an ambiguous passage.
"This third child is a useless bastard. He can't even do any work properly. I should have gotten rid of him earlier..."
"Back then, you were not the one who only cared about money, but in the end, you had to worry about and work hard to support such a big family..."
Although it was just two simple, incoherent sentences, they planted a seed of doubt. As he grew older, his appearance became increasingly different from that of the Shi family. He had long doubted his origins, but he hadn't thought about it too much, nor did he want to! This was his home, where he had lived for as long as he could remember!
But since he came back last time and saw with his own eyes how his parents' family treated his wife and children, as well as the scars all over their bodies and their pale and emaciated appearance due to hunger, he gradually realized the greed and viciousness of this family.
At this moment, he secretly decided to find out about his own life experience...
