Niu Tieguang became increasingly angry as he spoke, and continued to punch and kick Su Li.
"You slut, if Li Zhiqing hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were going to run off with that wild man! I'll beat you to death today."
Zhang Cuilan saw blood flowing from Su Li's lower body and her face turned pale with fright. "Son! Stop hitting her! If you keep hitting her, my grandson will be gone! Quickly take her to the village doctor. We can't let my grandson die!"
After hearing his mother's words, Niu Tieguang remembered that Su Li was still pregnant.
He picked up Su Li and headed towards the village doctor's house, with Su Mu nervously following behind them.
"Please, please don't let anything happen."
The village doctor was quite capable; the baby was saved. He told them to give Su Li some nutritious food and then let them go home.
The dream flipped again, and time flew by to the day Su Li gave birth.
This time, Su Li had a difficult childbirth and gave birth to another daughter. Zhang Cuilan saw the midwife off. Holding the baby, she said fiercely to Su Li, who had just given birth, "Look at your useless belly, you've only had two pregnancies and you're a money-losing burden."
Su Mu saw that Su Li's face was pale, and watched her move with difficulty step by step off the bed.
She walked with unwavering determination, and finally, with great effort, she reached Zhang Cuilan.
She reached out to grab the child, but the child dodged her.
"What do you want to do? You useless woman, you can't even give birth to a son, you slut."
Su Mu looked at the old woman Yu with such hatred that she wanted to tear her apart. It was the old woman who had killed Su Li's first child last time.
"Please, give me back my child," Su Li pleaded desperately, seeing that she couldn't win the fight.
Zhang Cuilan seemed to have heard a joke; "Give it to you? What are you thinking? This is all the money we have at home, and it all has to be spent on my precious grandson. This money-losing child of yours shouldn't be alive."
"I'll raise the child myself, give him back to me."
Su Mu watched as Su Li forced herself to kneel down before Old Granny Yu, desperately kowtowing, pleading, "Please give me back my child, please give him back to me."
His heart was breaking. He was filled with hatred. Why did they have to force her to go to the countryside?
She had a good job and should have had a good life.
Marry an honest and reliable man in the city, have a child, and live a simple and happy life.
If I hadn't insisted that she go to the countryside, she wouldn't have encountered those awful people.
Her life could have been bright, but he dragged her into an inescapable hell.
Despite the echoes of Su Li's pleading voice, Old Granny Yu remained unmoved and carried the child out of the room.
Su Mu watched Su Li leave the room and followed her despite his own weakness and discomfort.
The old woman caused the child to die suddenly in the chamber pot again. When Su Li, dragging her ailing body, chased after her to her room, the child had already stopped even making a faint cry.
She watched helplessly as the child stopped breathing; Su Mu also witnessed that scene.
He knew he couldn't stop it, but he still pounced on it.
Su Li's eyes widened in horror, and she fainted.
"Su Li, sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. If I could turn back time, I would never do anything to hurt you again."
His words could only comfort himself; the scenes in his dream continued.
Niu Tieguang returned and took the unconscious Su Li to the village doctor.
The village doctor said that she was already weak, this pregnancy was dangerous, and with the added stress on her heart and blood, she would probably have difficulty conceiving again.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was for the best.
If she were to experience the pain of losing her child again, she probably wouldn't survive.
Upon hearing that Su Li could no longer have children, Zhang Cuilan immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "What did you say? She can't have children? What use is this daughter-in-law to us then?"
Niu Tieguang slapped Su Li across the face on the bed, saying, "You bitch, what are you pretending for? Get up right now. You can't have children anymore, so don't act like a big shot anymore."
Su Li was woken up by his slap. When she saw the village doctor, she immediately got out of bed and knelt down.
"Dr. Chen, they killed my child. Please help me report this to the police, okay? I beg you."
As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly to the village doctor. Su Mu looked at Su Li's hateful expression and realized that she was determined to fight them to the death.
Dr. Chen dared not meddle in the village secretary's affairs. He quickly said, "Su Zhiqing, if you have any problems, go to the brigade leader! He will take care of it for you."
Su Mu knew that Su Li rarely saw outsiders, let alone the captain.
She wouldn't have turned to this village doctor if she hadn't been desperate for help.
"You wretch, what nonsense are you spouting? You were born a stillborn baby. We didn't even blame you, yet you still say such things. You're truly ungrateful. Come back with me right now."
Without saying another word, Niu Tieguang carried Su Li back.
From that day on, Su Mu watched as Niu Tieguang's mother only allowed Su Li to eat one meal a day.
Su Li neither argued nor fought, nor did she speak; she was like a soulless puppet every day.
Several more months passed, and then, as time went on, Niu Tieguang became addicted to gambling and ran out of money.
Someone encouraged him, saying, "Your wife can't have children, why not share with the brothers? We can even forget about the money this time."
At first, Niu Tieguang naturally refused; he valued his life highly, remembering how Liu Mazi had done things the same way. In the end, not only was he blinded, but he also went to jail.
“That’s my wife. If you keep having such ideas, we brothers will be finished.”
Upon hearing his words, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid. Given Su Li's current condition, if she went through any more hardships, she might not survive.
