Even so, Wang and Li Guangzong still refused to let them go.
The three sisters' corpses were sold for one or two taels of silver.
The two older girls were sold directly to those people for ghost marriages, while the seventh sister…
Just thinking about that matter made Li Zhenzhen feel nauseous and want to vomit.
They traded Seventh Sister with other families and cooked and ate her as meat.
At that moment, Li Zhenzhen began to tremble uncontrollably.
She knew it was her turn next!
She slept restlessly for those two nights, fearing that they would plot against her while she was asleep.
One night, she was awake with her eyes closed when she overheard a conversation between Wang and her son.
Even from a distance, Li Zhenzhen could still feel that cold gaze fixed on the back of her neck.
Her mother said that she would keep her to carry the luggage for the time being, and once they settled in the prefectural city, she would sell her to the old man as his wife.
Her beloved younger brother said he would sell her into a brothel so that the money would be used by him.
Li Zhenzhen broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not utter a sound.
Since that night, she has been constantly planning how to escape.
Finally, she seized an opportunity and, after much effort, managed to buy a packet of sleeping pills.
She secretly added it to the soup the three of them wanted to drink, and that's how the three of them slept soundly that night.
She stole all the valuables from the house and was preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shi woke up!
The two women locked eyes, and Wang made a move to shout, but Li Zhenzhen reflexively covered her mouth and nose tightly.
Due to tension and fear, she forgot to use the correct force and suffocated Wang to death.
At that moment, Li Zhenzhen felt her hair stand on end and her whole body feel cold and powerless.
She stared at her hands in disbelief, unwilling to believe that she had suffocated her mother.
Just then, Li Laogen woke up. Li Zhenzhen, remembering how they ruthlessly tried to use her, gritted her teeth and killed Li Laogen as well.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Li Zhenzhen turned her attention to Li Guangzong.
She stretched out her evil hands, but in the end, whether out of a pang of conscience or out of reluctance, she withdrew them.
Fearing that Li Guangzong would suspect her, Li Zhenzhen faked several wounds on her body.
He secretly placed the grain in a hidden place behind Li Guangzong's back, and hid some of it while selling the rest.
She naturally wouldn't give Li Guangzong any money, and the grain was given out under the pretext of her own earnings.
In short, after that night, their once happy family was reduced to just her and Li Guangzong.
At first, Li Zhenzhen was worried that Li Guangzong would seek revenge on Wang Shi and Li Laogen, and that he would also investigate her.
Unexpectedly, Li Guangzong only pretended to cry twice, and when he saw that they were indeed dead, his expression immediately changed.
Because he had run out of food and money!
Li Zhenzhen looked at her underling, who was like a useless person, with great disdain.
Li Guangzong glanced at his third sister, who had always been the one who doted on him the most.
He was given whatever he wanted, but ever since he came to Anqing Prefecture and met the Zhen family, he has been in a difficult situation.
His older sister, who had always obeyed him without question, no longer listens to him.
Li Guangzong felt uneasy. He glanced at Li Zhenzhen and tentatively asked, "Third Sister, you don't want to go see my two nephews. Could it be that you still want to go back to the Chen family?"
A hint of panic flashed in Li Zhenzhen's eyes; she did indeed have this thought.
When she first arrived, she did try every means to get back to Zhen's family.
Later, for some reason, whenever she approached Meizi Village or any member of the Zhen family, she would always encounter various difficulties.
Gradually, she realized something was wrong, and upon closer inspection, she was shocked to discover that she had offended a powerful figure.
She didn't go to Zhen's family for two reasons: first, she couldn't go there; second, she would never allow her younger brother to harm her two good sons!
Looking at Li Zhenzhen's pale face, Li Guangzong couldn't help but sneer, "I say, Third Sister! Give up on that idea! Don't forget that you almost killed your ex-brother-in-law's mother back then!"
Do you think they'd be so pathetic as to just let you go back?
Upon hearing the word "death," Li Zhenzhen trembled. Li Guangzong, unaware of the reason, assumed she was frightened by his words.
"If you take good care of me now, I promise I won't kick you out after I get married and have children."
Li Guangzong was very proud of his status as a male heir; back in his family, he was like a local tyrant.
Although there are no longer so many older sisters and servants, that sense of pride remains.
Li Zhenzhen only half-believed Li Guangzong's words; now she understood things very clearly.
According to her observation, the status of the Zhen family members has risen accordingly. Although the second Zhen brother was not present, she saw it clearly.
Her sons, Gou Dan and Er Niu, are already in school, so the Zhen family must be very wealthy!
There's absolutely no way she could rely on Li Guangzong, such an unreliable and useless person, to support her in her old age and see her to her death.
Currently, what she relies on and hopes for is that once her two sons become successful, they will take her back to live as the matriarch.
By then, with her two sons protecting her, even Old Lady Li wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
The light in Li Zhenzhen's heart came from her son, who had not yet begun his studies.
Although she couldn't get close to her child or develop a relationship with him, she was happy during the days filled with anticipation.
After Guangling County announced the distribution of sweet potato seeds as a reward for land reclamation, county magistrates in other counties also became restless.
Recently, when Zhen Wanwan went to the department store, she would always run into Mrs. Chen and hear her complain a few times.
They said that a lady from that county town sent her a letter and some rouge from overseas, etc.
Of course, she wasn't saying this to show off, but because she genuinely felt annoyed.
She had no shortage of cosmetics; those people who wanted to befriend her were simply trying to get close to her.
Behind all this, all they want is Zhen Wanwan's sweet potatoes.
Mrs. Chen saw things very clearly and admired Zhen Wanwan very much.
Department stores, soap shops, nursing homes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc...
Take any one of these and you'll find it to be a game-changer.
That's a craft that can be passed down for generations!
Zhen Wanwan just smiled and said frankly that the sweet potatoes were made by her husband and she knew nothing about them.
It seems unlikely that you'll be able to get any information out of her...
Zhen came to the county town last night, not to see the department store, but to go to the west of the town!
Within a month, the houses in the western part of the city that had collapsed due to the torrential rain have been cleared away.
The once crowded area has become spacious and much cleaner.
Zhen Wanwan looked at the exceptionally bright ground and felt very excited.
Finally, the construction of the Happiness Home is about to begin.
With sweet potatoes leading the way, her Happiness Home will surely spread throughout the entire Huachao!
Along with the news of the Happiness Home, there was also a good leader, a leader who could ensure that the people had enough to eat, were warmly clothed, and had support in their old age!
