Jiang Shan sat on the chair crying out to heaven and earth, but no one answered her. She planned to avenge her family once she was free.
She looked at Ding Qiu angrily: "Woo woo..."
Why are you pretending to be such a good person? Why didn’t you stop your son from hitting someone just now?
Ding Qiu knew she was cursing as soon as he saw her eyes: "Okay, don't be angry. What man doesn't beat his wife? You think my son is wrong, but are you a good person yourself?"
"You married my Mingsheng and secretly peeked at Shuisheng. Don't think we don't know. You're mentally ill and you drugged Shuisheng. Humph, do you think we're stupid? Others don't know whether you're sick or not, but how can we not know?"
What he meant was that it's normal for outsiders to get beaten up since they know you're mentally ill.
But Xiao Mingsheng and she were all thinking about Jiang Shan because she was not sick.
Jiang Shan didn't expect that they actually knew about this.
Seeing her shocked expression, Ding Qiu muttered softly and cleaned up the house. Not long after he finished cleaning, Xiao Ye'an and Xiao Yetong came running back carrying their schoolbags and notebooks.
Xiao Mingsheng was eating in the living room when the two children came up to him with their new schoolbags on their backs, showing them off. An An said happily, "Daddy, look, these are the schoolbags that Aunt Jiang Zao and Uncle bought us, as well as pencils and erasers. When I grow up, I'm going to study hard and become a doctor like you."
After overturning the table full of food, Ding Qiu casually made some rice and some pickled cucumbers. Xiao Mingsheng swallowed the pickled cucumbers in his mouth and rubbed his son's head with his free hand: "You look so happy."
Xiao Ye'an nodded wildly, it was so beautiful.
Xiao Yetong found something wrong in the room.
Why is Dad the only one eating?
The table seems to have a broken corner, and the food is not what I originally planned to prepare...
Xiao Yetong ran into the house with her schoolbag and saw her stepmother tied to a chair.
"Don't go there to eat for free every day. Eating too much will make people dislike you." Ding Qiu had no appetite and didn't eat. He was sweeping the dust on the cabinet with a feather duster in his hand. He saw Xiao Yetong writing a few words.
When Xiao Yetong was very young, she remembered some scenes of Xiao Mingsheng beating people, so she didn't find it strange to see Jiang Shan like this.
She put her schoolbag on the chair and glanced at Jiang Shan: "Grandma, why did you tie up my stepmother?"
When Jiang Shan heard the word "stepmother", she rolled her eyes. What a useless child, he refused to call her mother for such a long time.
Xiao Yetong and Xiao Yean were both raised by Ding Qiu, and he knew that the child was very brave: "She had a mental illness and wanted to go out and kill people. Your father was afraid that she would kill people, so he tied her up."
A hint of secret joy flashed across Xiao Yetong's young and thin face.
Grandma is lying again.
It must be that the stepmother talked back to the father and was scolded by the father.
So happy!
She was the one who did the bad thing and sent them to the countryside. She and An An had suffered so much, and finally it was her turn to suffer.
"Oh, then tie her up tightly. Don't let her run out and beat or kill anyone. It would be bad if she hurts Aunt Jiang Zao."
Humph, she said that on purpose. Who made the stepmother scold the aunt at home every day?
Xiao Yetong's seemingly 'unintentional' words hit Jiang Shan right in the sore spot.
Jiang Shan rolled her eyes in anger.
She was so angry.
Damn child, I’m going to beat her up as soon as she can move.
Xiao Yetong saw that Jiang Shan wanted to beat her, and that was exactly what she wanted. If her stepmother beat her, she would kneel outside and let everyone know that her stepmother was not a good person.
If everyone blames the stepmother, they will not think that the father is bullying others. She indirectly helps the father and grandmother, so the father will not say anything to her when the time comes.
Jiang Shan was tied up until the next morning. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back and her lips were dry and cracked.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
Xiao Mingsheng removed the rag that was blocking Jiang Shan's mouth. There was no emotion on his face, and he was completely different from the elegant man he used to be.
Jiang Shan's throat was dry, and the corners of her mouth were cracked. "...I know. I won't talk back to Mom anymore. Come on...give me some food, please."
She felt like she was losing feeling in her hands and feet.
Xiao Mingsheng sneered and made half a bowl of porridge to feed her. Jiang Shan was so hungry that she felt dizzy and didn't bother to be picky. She took the spoon he handed her and ate it in big mouthfuls. She ate some of it in a hurry and spat it out. She didn't want to waste it, so she licked the rice grains around her mouth with her tongue.
Xiao Mingsheng looked at Jiang Shan's embarrassed appearance and felt very satisfied.
"You can go complain to your parents later. I'll tell everyone that you're mentally ill. Your parents are not good people for allowing you to harm others. I don't know if they can keep their jobs then."
Jiang Shan slowed down her eating and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Why are you doing this? Do you really want to kill us?"
"I just gave birth to a child for you, don't you appreciate it at all?" The good days I imagined before getting married turned out to be nothing.
It also caused the family to spend money and effort, and to run around and worry about everything. Even if Jiang Shan was ignorant, she felt guilty towards Feng Miao and Jiang Dahe.
Jiang Zao also married into the Xiao family and lived a happy and fulfilling life. She always felt that things shouldn't be like this, and Jiang Zao's good life should be hers.
She felt bad that she couldn't live the good life that Jiang Zao had, and she also felt bad seeing Jiang Zao living a good life.
Somehow, Jiang Zao shouldn't have lived such a happy life!
Xiao Mingsheng chuckled and shook his head nonchalantly: "I already have three children, so why should I care about you having a daughter? I think you are a smart person and you know what to say."
Only after feeding Jiang Shan half a bowl of porridge did Xiao Mingsheng untie the rope.
After being tied up all night, Jiang Shan's arms were numb and she didn't dare to move at all. She wanted to bite off the flesh of Xiao Mingsheng, but she couldn't stretch out her hands to slap him.
Out of concern for Feng Miao and Jiang Dahe, Jiang Shan didn't dare go home to complain, so she could only swallow her anger. It took several days for the bruises on her face to fade.
Jiang Shan had been on leave recently, and when she suddenly came to work, she looked even more gloomy.
"Jiang Shan, are you feeling better?" a colleague from the pastry class asked curiously.
Jiang Shan took leave on the grounds that she had not fully recovered from childbirth, and everyone thought she was just feeling unwell.
Jiang Shan ignored her, changed her clothes and went to check on the fermentation room.
Everyone felt that she was like a different person after giving birth.
Jiang Zao also knew that Jiang Shan had taken leave. As neighbors, he naturally knew that Jiang Shan was beaten by Xiao Mingsheng.
In her previous life, Jiang Shan had treated her like neither human nor ghost, and now her retribution had finally come.
Serves you right!
Jiang Zao returned to the pastry room to make the dough. When he saw Jiang Shan, who had lost weight, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Jiang Shan felt uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Zao's smile. She walked out of the fermentation room with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Jiang Zao, what are you laughing at?"
