In the living room, as soon as Luo Qianyu met Luo Panlai, he found that there was a hole in Luo Panlai's trouser leg and only one shoe was left on his foot.

I guess he just came from the Nanhe Brigade and suffered a lot on the way.

When Luo Panlai saw her coming, he immediately stood up, wiped his face with his sleeve, and took two steps towards her:

"Third sister, my elder sister is at her wit's end..."

The rest of the words stopped abruptly, and she looked at Lu Jiuchuan timidly.

"I'll go get you some water." Lu Jiuchuan helped Luo Qianyu to the chair, turned and walked away.

Luo Qianyu reached out and pulled Luo Pan to sit down:

"Sister, I can't stand for long due to my injury. Don't worry, sit down and tell me slowly, what happened?"

As Luo Panlai opened her mouth to speak, tears started to flow down her face. Then she fell on her legs and cried while suppressing her voice.

Luo Qianyu was stunned. Although they were both women, she was also afraid of women crying.

What could have happened to make you cry like this?

Did my eldest brother-in-law die? Or did my nephew and niece have an accident?

Lu Jiuchuan took two enamel pots and placed them on the table. He pointed to the rooms of Lu Dingyu's two younger brothers and left.

She sat there in a daze, waiting until Zhou Gong waved to her, and then Luo Pan's crying turned into sobs.

"Ayu, my elder sister is really desperate and doesn't want to live anymore..."

She rolled her eyes in her heart. She was at her wit's end. What could she say to her if she didn't want to live?

She won't fall for the moral blackmail.

She said nothing, and Luo Panlai continued:

"My mother-in-law asked your second brother-in-law to invite his relative who is the workshop director to dinner at home so that my brother-in-law can work in the sugar factory."

"The first time he came, I felt that he looked at me strangely. Today, when he came for the second time, my mother-in-law put something in my dinner and asked him to sleep in the same room with me."

"Your second brother-in-law is the pimp, my mother-in-law is the boss, your eldest brother-in-law also knows about it..."

"But he didn't stop me, he didn't save me! He watched his mother... send others to his ** and sleep with his wife!"

As she spoke this intermittently, her tears began to flow again and she took a loud breath from time to time.

Luo Qianyu even suspected that she might cry and pass out at any time.

What happened to her was really tragic.

But she had the strength to run more than ten kilometers back to the Wangshan Brigade, and she also had the strength to cry for so long, so why didn't she have the strength to beat up the scum?

Since you said you don't want to live anymore, why don't you just use your strength and pick up a kitchen knife to die together with the scum?

We're all going to die anyway, so chopping off one will break even, chopping off two will be a profit.

Luo Qianyu curled her lips, expressing serious doubts about her statement that she didn't want to live. It would be more accurate to say that she came to ask for help.

However, Luo Qianyu didn't like this kind of desperate and morally demanding way of asking for help.

"Sister, what does coming to tell me this have to do with not wanting to live?"

"Also, if you want to ask for help or say goodbye, shouldn't you go back to your parents' home?"

Luo Panlai was choked by her words. He raised his tear-swollen eyes to look at her, sobbing twice but unable to stop crying.

"I, I just went back to my parents' house, and my mom didn't let me in after asking clearly."

"Third sister, my elder sister really has nowhere to go. Please help her."

After saying this she was about to kneel down.

Luo Qianyu dragged her and pushed her back into the chair.

"It's not that I can't help, but you have to tell me how you're going to help, right? Do you want to divorce your brother-in-law?"

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, even though they were too swollen to open, she was still trying:

"Divorce? Where can I go after the divorce? What about the two children?"

"Where can't you go? You can't starve to death with hands and feet. Get yourself back on track as soon as possible, and then bring your child to live with you."

"No, I'm worried about my two children following them."

"So you still want to go back?"

"Go back? What if your brother-in-law dislikes me? Or... or what if that person comes again next time?"

Luo Qianyu finally understood.

This is because they are afraid of facing the challenges of a new life, cannot let go of their children, and do not have the courage to divorce; they want to go back but are worried that they will not be able to live a good life.

People make choices every day. How can we have so many choices?

She yawned:

"Sister, it's very late now. Lu Jiuchuan will sleep in his brother's room tonight. Please come back to my room with me first."

"Get some clothes, take a shower, and have some sleep. You can think about it slowly tomorrow."

Luo Panlai sat there for a while, then stood up, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and reached out to support her arm:

"Thank you, Third Sister, for taking me in. It's too late. I'll help you back to your room first."

The two sisters entered the room. Luo Pan took a bath but refused to go to bed.

She said that she was very dirty and it was not good for her to sleep on Luo Qianyu and his wife's bed, so she insisted on sleeping on the floor and didn't even want a pillow.

Luo Qianyu couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her take out the old newspapers left over from pasting the wall, put them on the ground, and use them as a pillow for her dirty clothes.

Not long after blowing out the lights, Luo Qianyu heard her sniffling again. She was probably suppressing her tears and not daring to cry out loud.

Luo Qianyu sighed secretly, it was indeed pitiful, but why didn’t he strive for betterment?

In the Luo family, only the eldest sister was kind and cared about her without any purpose.

I am willing to help her if I can.

However, Luo Panlai had to at least choose one path.

Either you are willing to jump out of the quagmire, or go back and be strong enough to live a good life, otherwise she won't be able to help even if she wants to.

She didn't expect that the next day, just after breakfast, Luo Pan's mother-in-law came to her door first.

"Is Luo Panlai at your house? How can she run to her brother-in-law's house in the middle of the night? Hand her over immediately."

"I left my husband at home and ignored him. I didn't care about my two children crying because they were hungry. Is there any wife and mother like this?"

Before coming here, she had already been to Luo Dashan's house, followed by a lot of people.

The words he said were very unpleasant. He stood outside the yard and cursed, with people surrounding him and pointing fingers at him.

Standing next to her, Luo Panlai's husband Liu Aiguo lowered his head, looked bitter, and said nothing.

Zhang Guifen picked up a bamboo broom and stood at the gate of the yard, showing the momentum of a single man blocking a thousand men:

"How much shit did you swallow so early in the morning? Why do you come to my house to get scolded?"

"They are two sisters with a good relationship, so what's wrong with visiting each other? You are a maggot that crawled out of a cesspool, with a belly full of shit, and you think everything is dirty."

"Your son has healthy limbs and doesn't look like he has any mental problems, but he still needs to be taken care of like a baby? He's crying from hunger? How come you, as a mother, don't care?"

"Heh~tui... I've never seen anyone act like a maggot like this!"

Her attack was fast and powerful. She was standing at a higher position and she was tall, so she was an all-round crusher.

The onlookers followed her words and laughed at Liu Aiguo and his mother.

Mother Liu was so angry that she almost fell over. She couldn't think of any nice words to say back. Her face changed several times like a palette. She said:

"You are the one with a mental problem, you are a psychopath! A lunatic!"

Zhang Guifen thrust out the broom so hard that it almost hit her nose:

"A madman can beat people up! Do you want to try?"

"Oh, no, you're a maggot. Beating you might even waste my broom. You're really making a fortune."

The people around burst into laughter again.

Luo Qianyu especially liked to see her mother-in-law swearing and fighting. She turned to Luo Pan who was supporting her and said:

"My mother-in-law, this is also a beautiful way to live."

She originally wanted to use this opportunity to point out Luo Panlai, but she saw that Luo Panlai's eyes had already met Liu Aiguo outside.

There was guilt and shame in Liu Aiguo's eyes, as well as many things that were hard to explain, perhaps they were emotions.

She sighed and asked Luo Panlai:

"Brother-in-law probably wants you to go back. Do you want to go back?"
