Chapter 45: Resistance is the Only Way to Save Oneself
"Ma Daya, what are you doing? What did you put in my food, you bitch? You've gone too far! You just wait, I'll make sure you're dead."
Looking at his fierce appearance, Ma Daya paused slightly. The fear deep in her heart made her tense up, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. Her hand gripping the broom trembled involuntarily, and her breathing became more and more rapid. She dared not take another step forward.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Li, who had been a little scared, instantly relaxed.
"Look at you, you cowardly wretched thing. You lowly, despicable creature, even if I gave you a hundred lives, what would you do to me? I'm your man, you'll depend on me for the rest of your life. Let me tell you, if you dare to put poison in my food today, once the effects wear off, I'll break your legs or I'm not a Zhang."
"And those few money-losing items of yours, sell them all for cash. You son of a bitch, if you dare to turn things upside down, I'll send you to the farm, to the Xiangyang Production Team. Who dares to disobey me then?"
"You damn slut, I knew it! You've been with that guy surnamed Chen for a few days and you've already gone bad. A woman is just a woman, what future can she have? She'll rely on a man her whole life. Ma Daya, let me tell you, hurry up and call that guy surnamed Chen over. While there's still some medicine, make her take a few bites. Put her and that scoundrel together. When we get the money back, it'll all be for our future, it'll all be for our son."
.........
Future prospects? The future isn't some heartless child. He talks about the future, but isn't it all for his own sake?
The one surnamed Chen? That's not Chen, that's her sister!
She wasn't Ma Daya; her name was Shen Yuming. She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Haicheng. She wasn't an unwanted girl; she was the apple of her mother's and grandparents' eye. Her younger sister had overcome countless difficulties and traveled thousands of miles to find her.
She has support; she has family who are on her side and care about her!
Zhang Li's cursing grew softer and softer. Suddenly, he was hit hard on the forehead, followed by blows to his mouth, face, and body. He was hit everywhere, his consciousness fading, only to be jolted back to reality.
"Ma Daya, you bitch, how dare you hit me?"
"I'm not Ma Daya, I'm Shen Yuming. I have a name and a surname. I'm Shen Yuzhu's older sister. You dare to scheme against my sister right in front of me? My dear sister, how dare you scheme against her? And you're such a scoundrel like Lai Pitou! How can I let you get away with this? How can I let you get away with this? Zhang Li, you beast! You're trying to harm my sister! You're trying to harm my sister! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death..."
Ma Daya gripped the broom handle tightly, screaming loudly as she tightened her grip. Zhang Li was also going through cycles of unconsciousness and lucidity. When he heard Ma Daya say that her name was Shen Yuming and that she was Shen Yuzhu's older sister, a hint of joy flashed through his mind. However, the pain in his body continued, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness as he looked at her.
This woman dared to hit him like that today; once he recovers, he'll definitely kill her!
Exhausted from beating them, Ma Daya found a rope and tied up Lai Pitou and Zhang Li. Then she collapsed to the ground, clutching her collar and breathing heavily.
Thinking of the suffering I had endured in the past, tears streamed down my face.
But I felt more at ease than ever before. My sister said that we must rebel, because only by rebelling can we have a self, only by rebelling can we have a future, only by rebelling can we truly be reborn, and only by rebelling can we save ourselves. The help of others is just a lifeline extended to you. The one who is truly transformed is yourself.
She hadn't understood before, but now she suddenly understood. She understood why her sister had told her to beat Zhang Li up when she gave her a packet of medicine.
Just as she was crying uncontrollably, Shen Yuzhu appeared and hugged her tightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, sis, don't cry."
"Yuzhu, Yuzhu, I'm fine. I'm so happy! I beat him up so badly. I'm so happy, hahaha... I finally vented my anger."
"Okay, very good. Sister, you go back to your room now and take good care of the child. Don't go out all night!"
Ma Daya jumped up and looked at Shen Yuzhu in a panic, saying, "What are you going to do? Tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it. You're a perfectly good girl, don't get your hands dirty. If all else fails... if all else fails, I'll kill them, and then I won't bother you anymore."
Shen Yuzhu: "!!!"
"......"
The discipline was a bit too harsh!
"Sister, what are you thinking? I just wanted to teach them a lesson so they wouldn't dare to have any more harmful thoughts in the future. You can go back to your room without worry!"
It took Shen Yuzhu a while to coax Ma Daya into the room. She looked at Zhang Li and Lai Pitou, who were tied together, snapped her fingers, and put the two of them into her space.
As the night passed, some early-rising commune members were still discussing that Zhang Li had started beating people again last night, and many people had heard Ma Daya's screams and cries.
It's just that the noise in the middle of the night is really disturbing people's sleep.
The elderly men and women, having finished inspecting the crops in the fields and preparing to go home for dinner, suddenly heard a "hmm hmm hmm~" sound and rushed over to investigate.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Yuzhu carried her bag and headed to the brigade headquarters. From afar, she saw several people hurrying from the end of the village.
Xu Sanmei was a well-known loudmouth in Xiangyang Production Team. She ran forward with cheerful steps and enthusiastically pulled Shen Yuzhu along to watch the excitement.
"What's wrong, Auntie? Why are you dragging me here?"
"Oh, girl, come on, Auntie will take you to see the show, hahaha... You don't know, do you? This morning, those two old bastards, Zhang Li and Lai Pi Tou, were stripped naked, tied up together, and thrown into the latrine. When they were pulled out, they were covered in excrement and urine, stinking horribly. Their arms and legs were broken. The brigade leader had several buckets of water brought in, but they still couldn't get them clean. Oh my, the people who tried to clean them vomited several times. Hehe... They looked so pitiful."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Judging from her tone, she didn't seem pitiful at all!
"Let me tell you, that Zhang Lixiang was talking, and who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited all over his head and body. Only then did the people watching realize that they also had mouths full of shit and piss. Oh my, it made me laugh so hard, cough cough cough... I don't mean to laugh, I'm just saying that this is something that's really funny."
When Shen Yuzhu was pulled over, she saw Ma Daya and several children crying not far from Zhang Li and Lai Pitou, looking very pitiful.
Lu Jianshe and Zhou Li were also present. Looking at Shen Yuzhu's expressionless face, they were shocked. They were certain that the incident involving Zhang Li and Lai Pitou was related to her.
