Zhou Ying walked over with stiff legs.

Looking at the man in wolfish clothes, she called out uncertainly, "Sun Yun."

Sun Yun, who was still knocking on the door frantically, froze and turned to look at the person who came.

When Sun Yun saw that it was his classmate Zhou Ying, a look of panic flashed across his face.

He immediately stood up and looked around, trying to pretend that he didn't know Zhou Ying and escape from there.

But there was only one alley here, where could she escape to?

Sun Yun gave up struggling and stood there, awkwardly fixing her messy clothes and hair.

She looked at Zhou Ying and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Haha, why are you here!"

Zhou Ying asked after a long while, "You...didn't you marry a city dweller and become a rich wife? How come you have become like this now?"

Sun Yun's face was flushed and he was very embarrassed.

The two found a deserted place, sat on the bluestone steps, and talked to each other.

Sun Yun touched her swollen face from being beaten by her mother-in-law, and finally told the truth.

“Hey, it’s true that I married a city girl, but it’s also true that most city people look down on us country people.

Do you know why I was able to marry into the city?

Zhou Ying shook his head in confusion.

"Why?"

Sun Yun said, "In order to marry my man, I had sex with him before marriage. Afterwards, I threatened him that if he didn't marry me, I would ruin his reputation.

He is a formal employee of the factory. If his reputation is ruined, he will lose his job.

Later he compromised and married me.

But he didn't like me. After marrying me, he beat and scolded me a lot in order to avenge what I had schemed against him.

My vicious mother-in-law is even worse. She tortures me at home every day, asking me to do this and that. If I do not do it well, she will either beat me or scold me.

Even when I go out, she follows me around.

He said I was a shameless woman and was afraid that I would go out and have an affair with a man and cuckold his son.

The life I lead in this home is worse than that of an animal, and every day feels like a year.

I originally thought that I would have a decent life if I married into the city, but only after being severely tortured by life did I realize that wanting to climb up the social ladder would cost me a heavy price.

When two people from unequal social backgrounds are together, the poor one will live a humble life.

It's so humble that even at home, meals are served to you by the grain.

If I were given the choice again, I would rather marry a country bumpkin.

At least the country folk don’t have so many evil thoughts, most of them are simple and honest and love their wives.”

Sun Yun kept on talking, but Zhou Ying felt mixed emotions.

Her nose felt sore and her throat choked.

Zhou Ying asked in a tearful voice, "Since you are not doing well, why do you always come to my house to show off?"

Sun Yun felt even more embarrassed.

"I...I just want to save face and suffer.

I have been jealous of you since I was a child. You are beautiful and your parents are good to you. Although the man you married comes from a poor family, the family is harmonious. Moreover, your man is tall and strong. Which woman would not like him!

You also have a powerful mother-in-law. With your mother-in-law around, who dares to bully your family, who dares to bully you.

I'm just jealous that you're better than me in everything, so I come to your house time and time again to show off.

I just want to save some face in front of you and make you all envy me."

Zhou Ying couldn't bear to listen any more.

She couldn't accept this fact and she didn't want to know it.

Zhou Ying stood up, ignored Sun Yun, turned around and walked away, faster and faster...

Sun Yun shouted from behind, "Zhou Ying, I'm sorry, you should cherish your life now and don't be like me, regretting everything."

Sun Yun thought Zhou Ying was still in the Xu family and had not divorced Xu Zhengyang, so she was full of envy towards her.

Out of guilt for having deceived Zhou Ying in the past, these words could be considered as her loyal advice!

Zhou Ying covered her ears and didn't want to listen to her anymore.

Tears rolled down her thin cheeks and sank silently into the dust.

Why, why tell her the truth now, why is everyone lying to her!

What on earth did she do wrong?

Sun Yun's confession was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhou Ying, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, leaving her completely despair.

It's all lies that if you marry a city dweller you will live a happy life and become a rich wife.

They are all liars.

If they hadn't lied to her, she would never have divorced Xu Zhengyang now.

Zhou Ying's intestines were almost broken.

"Ouch, why don't you have eyes when you walk! You bumped into me."

Zhou Ping was walking on the road when he was unexpectedly hit by someone rushing out from the side.

His nose was almost broken by the collision.

The nose that was broken by Xu Zhengyang last time has just been healed. He is annoyed that anyone who dares to bump into him must be taught a lesson today and must also pay some money.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard the familiar voice.

Looking at the person who kept bending down to apologize to him, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Zhou Ying, how could you come out? How could he let you out?"

Zhou Ying looked around nervously, fearing that their situation here would attract attention.

If Zhou Ying continued to shout, he would definitely be implicated.

"Second uncle."

Zhou Ying shuddered and reflexively held his head, begging for mercy, "Second Uncle, I'm wrong. Please don't tell Zhang San not to let him beat me. I just wanted to come out to find something to eat. I won't run away. I'll be back soon."

Zhou Ping was surprised by Zhou Ying's reaction.

Logically speaking, Zhou Ying should hate him when she saw him.

But now she is still begging him not to let Zhang San beat her.

Humph, Zhang San is really cruel. He disciplines a woman so well that she becomes obedient.

It seems that Zhou Ying is beaten a lot on weekdays.

Zhou Ping has always been worried that Zhou Ying would ruin his business and that Zhou Ying would take revenge on him.

But there is no need to worry now. Zhou Ying doesn't look like someone who would seek revenge. She is already scared of being beaten.

Zhou Ping immediately became serious.

His eyes were fierce and his expression was serious.

"Zhou Ying, didn't Zhang San tell you not to run around? Why didn't you listen? Why did you come out?"

Zhou Ying was so frightened that his heart was trembling.

He quickly shook his head and said, "I just wanted to go out to find something to eat. I didn't mean to run away. I'll be back soon."

Zhou Ying looked at Zhou Ping pitifully.

"Second Uncle, you have a good relationship with Zhang San. Can you please put in a good word for me and ask him to beat me less?"

Zhou Ping replied perfunctorily, "Go back quickly! I'll tell him."

I'll let him give you a good beating.

Zhou Ying carried the basket and quickly returned to Zhang San's home.

As soon as he got home, Zhang San slapped Zhou Ying in the face without saying a word.

"Do you want to run?"

"No, I don't want to run away. I'm going to find food for you. Look, there are vegetables today. Can I cook them for you?" Zhou Ying explained in horror.

Zhang San took a look at the vegetables in the basket and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's better. If I find out you dare to run, I'll break your legs. Go cook quickly. I'm starving."

After escaping a beating, Zhou Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurry to the simple stove and cook the vegetables.

Zhang San stood aside and stared at Zhou Ying for a while.

Asked suddenly.

"You've been married to me for two or three months, why is there no movement in your belly?"
