"Young lady, you'd better leave quickly! These two people are out of their minds," the aunt next to her couldn't help but say.
Lu Zhixia looked at Song Lingling's sharp and sarcastic expression and walked over step by step.
"I've been married to your brother for ten years. When you first married into the family, you were just an eight or nine-year-old girl, wearing only thin clothes on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. You were as thin as a little monkey. I was the one who gave you a bath!"
"When you were sick with a fever, I held you and stayed with you all night!"
"Back then, you were so grateful to me, saying you would treat me well for the rest of your life!"
“I’ve scrimped and saved to send you to school, and I haven’t been able to afford to make myself a single piece of clothing all these years. But no matter how difficult things were, I always made sure to buy you new clothes, and I never skimped on your allowance.”
When he got excited, his voice involuntarily rose.
"Song Lingling! You're just my sister-in-law, but I've treated you like a younger sister. How have you repaid me?"
"Your brother cheated on you, and you covered it up for him. What a loving sibling relationship!"
"I treated the bright moon with sincerity, but you siblings treated my sincerity like mud!"
His words were forceful and clear, and those around him understood what was going on.
It turns out that this woman's husband cheated on her, and her sister-in-law was an unreasonable and clueless person.
This woman has such a miserable life!
Song Lingling recalled her childhood, which was her most unbearable experience. Her mother favored boys over girls, and her father died early. It can be said that she grew up under her mother's neglect.
When her sister-in-law married into the family, she discovered that there were such gentle people in the world.
She was so happy at the time because someone really cared about her.
When did things change?
It started when her sister-in-law began to control her more and more. What right did she have to control her?
She did nothing wrong; she just wanted to make herself feel more comfortable.
"Lu Zhixia! It's no use saying any of this. You're just a woman my brother doesn't want. You're a piece of trash!"
Lu Zhixia raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "This slap is for your inability to distinguish right from wrong!" She slapped her again with her backhand. "This slap will sever all ties between us!"
"Song Lingling! From this day forward, we are severing all ties!"
After being slapped twice, Song Lingling covered her face with her hands and screamed in despair.
Ding Xueqing pointed at the woman's face.
"What right do you have to hit my woman?"
Lu Zhixia reached out and grabbed his fingers, dislocating his arm amidst his screams. Her movements were swift and precise, catching him completely off guard.
Song Lingling covered her mouth with her hand, reminding her of Lu Zhixia's fierceness.
Once this person gets ruthless, she simply can't afford to mess with him!
She knelt down and helped Ding Xueqing up, asking, "What happened to you?"
"My arm is broken!" Ding Xueqing gasped for breath, trying to maintain his last shred of dignity as a man.
"How could this happen?" Song Lingling shouted anxiously, "Help! Someone, come and help us!"
Lu Zhixia glanced at them, turned and left; the next bus arrived.
Those who had come to watch the spectacle also boarded the bus. The bus ride was so lively today; they had seen arguments and fights.
As for the young couple, neither of them wanted to pay any attention to them.
The bus was already half full, and once everyone got on, it became incredibly crowded.
But that doesn't stop people from gossiping, especially when they know each other; they just start chattering away.
"That little girl is so stupid, she'll be fooled to death by that scoundrel!"
"Give me a break! It's a matter of mutual consent; every pot has its lid!"
“That makes sense, but if my daughter were like that, I’d rather break her legs and keep her at home than let her run away.”
"You've reminded me. I need to go back and discipline my child. He shouldn't associate with just any kind of person."
Then their gaze fell on the woman in the back of the car. Her face was clean and her eyes were clear; she looked like a blessed person.
This made them think of a saying.
A blessed woman will not marry into an unblessed family!
Although they were all curious about what was going on, no one went forward to ask.
Let's continue talking about some random things.
Since we're just idling on the bus anyway, having something to talk about is a good way to pass the time.
Lu Zhixia listened to their casual conversation and unknowingly arrived at her stop. After getting off the train, she went straight to the ticket window to buy a ticket.
She still had about ten minutes before she could drive off, and she was actually a little scared to go to an unfamiliar place alone. So she brought a folding knife, just in case she encountered any unexpected situations.
But these days, the bold get rich, and the timid starve!
A voice inside her told her that she would regret it if she didn't go this time!
——
On the mountain.
Gu Lingxiao was squatting under the tree roots, eating steamed buns with everyone. It was unclear how long he would stay on the mountain.
Therefore, steamed buns had to be eaten sparingly. Each person's breakfast consisted of half a steamed bun, which was then broken open and filled with a few shredded pickled vegetables.
It was just a simple breakfast; for their usual appetite, it wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Water was easy to solve; they found a mountain spring where they could fetch water to drink.
It's just that the weather is a bit hot, so we have to go over mountains and valleys to find people in the morning or evening.
Zhang Qian put the last crumb of steamed bun into his mouth, licked his lips, and said, "I'm not full from eating so little!"
Liu Chang, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "You think you're the only one who's starving? We're all starving too!"
Zhao Hu leaned over and said, "How about we hunt some game today, then make a fire and roast it?"
Gu Lingxiao kicked Sun Hu's butt, "Why don't you come up with some tricks? We're arresting people right now. If we set things on fire, they'll know someone's come up the mountain."
"If you keep enduring it, those prisoners are enduring it too!"
The brilliant idea he had just come up with was rejected by the captain, and he instantly felt deflated.
Gu Lingxiao stood up and said to them, "Don't worry, I know there are villages down the mountain. If all else fails, we can arrange for someone to go down the mountain and buy some more food to bring up."
They stood up excitedly when they heard that there would be supplies.
"I knew the captain had already thought of a plan; he wouldn't let us go hungry!" Zhang Qian slung his bag over his shoulder. "Where do we go next?"
Gu Lingxiao took out his binoculars and looked at the distant mountains. "If this mountain isn't there, then they can only go to the mountain on the other side."
Zhang Qian spat on the ground. "These guys can really run. Once we catch them, we'll hang them up and beat them!"
"I agree!" Zhao Hu raised his hand in agreement.
Gu Lingxiao: "What are you so smug about? Let's catch them first."
Zhang Qian took out his water bottle and took a big gulp of water. He thought that since he wasn't full from eating, he would drink some water to fill his stomach.
He glanced into the distance.
A wisp of smoke slowly rose up.
He let out a howl.
Everyone looked at him, wondering what was wrong with him.
Zhang Qian choked on the water and coughed violently, unable to speak, only able to point forward with his hand!
