That cut was so deep that I couldn't use my arm properly when it was cloudy or rainy.

She appeared to be a healthy person, but her internal organs and limbs were covered with countless scars.

Li Qingqing was so frightened that she only glanced at it once and dared not look again.

Shu Ying's heart clenched tightly. She immediately went over and carefully covered the scars on the woman's body.

These scars are not just physical pain, but also a thorn in the heart.

Every time Song Zhaodi showed her to others, her heart ached.

Shu Ying grasped her hand: "The police should only detain you for a few days. You'll be released soon, and they'll definitely cause you trouble then. Have you thought about what you're going to do next?"

Now that we've escaped from that house, there's no reason for us to go back.

Song Zhaodi shook her head: "I haven't decided yet. I heard that wealthy families in the capital hire nannies. I can do anything. I'll try my luck and maybe someone will want me."

Shu Ying frowned: "But you don't even have a place to stay right now. How about this, you come with us for now. At least it's safe in the military. Even if that man is released, he won't dare to cause you any trouble in the military. If you still can't find a suitable job, we'll find you a job around the military base."

Li Qingqing nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Although we don't know what the environment is like, it's still better than letting you sleep on the streets."

They shouldn't have interfered, but as women who had also encountered unhappy marriages, taking in Song Zhaodi for one night was just a small favor for them, and they didn't lose anything.

If they were to find themselves in the same predicament, they might just receive a good reward.

Song Zhaodi quickly waved her hand in a flustered manner: "No, no, no, how could I possibly implicate you? Zhou Dawei can't stand seeing others do well. If I dragged you into this, wouldn't that be my fault? Especially since you two have children. I have hands and feet, and I can always find a way to make a living. But I still want to thank you."

She had lived with Zhou Dawei for so many years, and she knew his temperament better than anyone. If she really offended him, he wouldn't even spare the children.

Shu Ying held her hand: "You don't need to worry about these things. The military is safer than anywhere else. He can't come and go as he pleases. Even if something happens, it will be more serious than what he's getting now. Just stay with us and don't worry about the future. We have to live our lives from now on, but we can't slack off right now."

In the past, Song Zhaodi would have thought Shu Ying's suggestion was absurd.

She has no skills whatsoever, and she hasn't even had much formal education. All she does is wash clothes, cook, and do farm work. How could she possibly work near the military base?

But when she looked up and met Shu Ying's gaze, she realized that although the girl was young, she was very opinionated when she spoke, and the solution she offered was the best that Shu Ying could accept at the moment.

“He just said that you two are protected by law, so you must have already gotten your marriage certificate. If you want to escape from that house, you’ll have to plan carefully. You need to support yourself and also find a way to deal with him. This is not something that can be resolved overnight. Neither of us is afraid of trouble, and you don’t need to worry about dragging us down with you.”

Shu Ying's words were sincere, which inexplicably calmed Song Zhaodi down.

She nodded heavily, her voice slightly choked with emotion, and replied, "Thank you."

Throughout the journey, she remained very wary. If it weren't for meeting Shu Ying and Li Qingqing, she might have been captured and taken back to that village long ago.

Perhaps his leg really was broken, or perhaps he would never see the sun rise again.

She's not even afraid of death, so why can't she trust someone just once?

Even the worst outcome is better than being caught and sent back to the village.
