"I counted the days one by one, and when I was little, I looked forward to growing up, thinking that when I grew up, I would find a man who loved me, and I would be able to escape the beatings and heal the old wounds in my heart.

Later I found out that when I grew up I still had to obey the arrangements and marry the man my mother wanted me to marry. On the surface, this man was praised by everyone, but in fact he was a morally corrupt man who would sneak into the bathhouse and peek at the female workers taking a bath.

So I would rather find a disabled old man who is well-known in the countryside than a man like this who looks good on the outside but is rotten on the inside.

I am a person and I have the right to choose who I want to marry or not, but my biological mother has always wanted to deprive me of this right and push me into the fire pit again and again.

With a mother like this, I really can no longer respect and be filial to her as I used to.

You can say I'm crazy or that I'm drifting, but Lu Manyue will never be the same person again.

Mom, I hope you will remember this firmly from today on." Lu Manyue calmed down and let out a long breath, her eyes slowly changing from bitter and confused to firm.

Lu Dashan clenched his hands and looked at Li Fen with bloodshot eyes.

Only then did Li Fen realize that she was afraid and no longer dared to act arrogantly.

If her brother doesn't come, she will be half paralyzed. The father and daughter of the Lu family have already stopped buying her account. If she continues to act like this, she will only bring trouble to herself.

"In fact, it's normal for your brother not to come to see you. You treat him like a treasure and put him first in everything, but he may not value you in the same way.

Look, he's here, but he doesn't even want to come and see you after meeting his girlfriend. This is enough to prove that you are not as important to him as you think." Lu Manyue said faintly.

Li Fen was provoked again, but the situation was not in her favor. She didn't dare to shout like before, so she just held it in.

Seeing her look as if she wanted to jump up and curse but didn't dare, Lu Manyue curled her lips.

After Zhu Yan finished eating the soup cake, she rushed to wash the dishes and clean up.

Seeing her working so hard even though she hadn't done much work, Lu Manyue smiled gently.

"Mom, did you see that? Even an outsider knows how to feel sorry for me. But you, who always claims to be my biological mother, are not even as good as an outsider."

Li Fen was so angry that her face turned blue and black. She felt guilty and always felt that every word Lu Manyue said today was full of profound meaning, as if she was pointing at her.

Or more like a test.

She kept bringing up the topic of her biological mother, but her words kept proving that what she had done over the years was not what a biological mother would do...

Is Lu Manyue starting to doubt?

Li Fen became more and more frightened.

What was done back then could indeed be considered flawless, but what if, what if there were any omissions?

Lu Manyue kept keeping an eye on Li Fen out of the corner of her eye.

Not a single expression of hers escaped her gaze.

She has also found a way to break through Li Fen's defenses.

That is her almost obsessive attention to Li Ruliang.

On this day, the Lu family was unusually quiet.

Li Fen no longer insisted on going outside to poop and pee, and she no longer cared about the saltiness or softness of the food.

However, Lu Manyue would mention Li Ruliang from time to time to stimulate her.

Li Fen had been gritting her teeth from gritting her teeth so much that they were sore.

At noon, Zhu Yan and Lu Manyue lay side by side and took a nap together.

Lu Manyue closed her eyes and rested.

Zhu Yan thought she was asleep, so she kept sighing beside her and cracking her knuckles from time to time.

"If I had known your mother was such a person, I should have been nicer to you when we were in school together. Lu Manyue, I'm sorry, I'm not a qualified friend.

But in the future, I will learn slowly and be a good friend, and I will never let you be bullied so badly again.

You were so young at that time, being abused and helpless every day. My scalp is tingling just listening to you talk about those things. It was really not easy for you to survive.

If I were you, your mother would have driven me crazy a long time ago."

"Okay, the past is past, and we all have to look forward. I now have Wei Dingbang, my dad, and you, and I'm satisfied." Lu Manyue hummed, and sleepiness slowly came over her. After a while, she fell asleep with her head tilted.

Zhu Yan suddenly heard dull banging sounds coming from next door, as if someone was smashing something with a wooden hammer.

She didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but she just wanted to spend more time with Lu Manyue so she lay down with her.

Hearing the strange noise at this moment, he was afraid that Li Fen was doing something naughty again, so he quickly slipped on his shoes, quietly opened the door, and tiptoed to the next room.

The door of Lu Dashan's room was not closed, and a mosquito net was hung up for ventilation.

Lu Dashan's eyes were red. He covered Li Fen's mouth with one hand and smashed her down with the hammer in the other hand.

Li Fen was terrified, but her hands and feet were injured, and her waist was also injured when she sank down into the toilet pit. She couldn't even struggle, and could only watch the wooden hammer fall on her forehead.

"You vicious woman, you abused my Man Yue. I really want to smash you to death with a hammer..." Lu Dashan said gritting his teeth.

"Lu, Uncle Lu, don't, don't be impulsive. Beating someone to death is against the law. Man Yue has suffered enough, think about her, she definitely doesn't want you to bear the reputation of a murderer for such a bad woman." Zhu Yan rushed into Lu Dashan's house quickly and tried to grab the wooden hammer.

The wooden hammer was easily taken away.

Lu Dashan let go of the hand that was covering Li Fen's mouth, leaned back dejectedly, and leaned against the head of the bed like a puddle of softened mud.

"Yanzi, don't be afraid of your Uncle Lu, your Uncle Lu is a useless man. I want to beat this bad woman to death, but I don't have the courage, I just want to scare her.

You are right. Man Yue's life in my family was really hard. She finally married a man who knew how to care for her. I can't hold her back and let her have a murderer father who would drag down her reputation. "

Zhu Yan looked at Li Fen carefully and found that there were no obvious scars except a big swelling on her forehead. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you were holding a wooden hammer used to hit children at play. If it was an iron hammer, you would have blown her brains out." Zhu Yan said with a look of fear on her face.

Lu Dashan said nothing, and his eyes slowly moved to the foot of the bed.

There was indeed a hammer placed in the gap between the foot of the bed and the wall.

But he didn't have the courage to take it.

He is just a useless man. Li Fen bullied his daughter right under his nose, but he didn't notice at all.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart and his mind was clearer than ever before.

Those things that I had ignored in the past suddenly came back to me from the depths of my memory.

Suddenly, his eyes paused, his whole body trembled, and his hand subconsciously reached into his pocket and started rummaging.

With empty hands.

He looked at his empty palms, and his eyes slowly turned red.

He remembered something.
