Zhou Chunhua could hardly believe what she was seeing.
After all, it involved his own father and his wife...
This completely overturned her moral bottom line!
She slammed the notebook shut.
Having read less than a fifth of it, she, someone who had only ever been exposed to words, already felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into hell.
It's unimaginable how much pain Chen Xue must have endured during those experiences.
Chen Xue may have used up all the courage she had in her life to survive.
By this time, it had already gotten dark.
The barking of dogs could still be heard outside, indicating that the group was still searching the area.
At the same time, Zhou Chunhua noticed that whenever a dog barked outside, Nini would suddenly twitch.
Moreover, Nini's eyes were not only empty, but also filled with fear.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but become curious about Nini's unusual behavior.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Tongtong.
The boy must have been exhausted from struggling earlier, because he fell asleep right in her arms.
She wondered... if Tongtong knew why Nini was behaving so strangely...
But... never mind.
She worried that if she took the sleeve out of Tongtong's mouth, and she started crying again, they would really have nowhere to escape.
But this can't go on forever.
After thinking it over, she still placed her hopes on the notebook in her hand.
After taking several deep breaths to prepare myself mentally, I opened the notebook again...
When I met Wu Chengrui's gaze, I was so ashamed I wanted to smash my head against the cowshed. But I didn't! Because only by living could I personally bring all those animals to court…
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chunhua felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
However, what happened next struck her soul even more deeply.
In her diary, Chen Xue wrote that on that day, Wu Hao and his mother carried two buckets of icy well water and poured them all over her.
That kind of cold doesn't just stay on the skin, but penetrates through the skin, seeps into the blood vessels, and goes deep into the bone marrow.
Then, Wu Hao dragged her by the iron chain around her neck and pulled her to Wu Chengrui's bed.
She struggled desperately, but Wu Chengrui never succeeded.
Enraged, Wu Chengrui began to beat her, but she still fought back desperately.
In his old age, Wu Chengrui eventually ran out of strength.
Chen Xue watched Wu Chengrui put on his clothes and leave, thinking she had escaped a disaster.
Just as she was relaxing from exhaustion, the door was pushed open.
It wasn't just Wu Chengrui who came in; Wu Hao and his mother were also there.
Wu Hao scolded her for being ungrateful.
Wu Hao's mother even bluntly stated that if Yang Yang hadn't died, she would have been dismantled into 'parts' long ago!
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Xue understood why Wu Hao's mother had looked at her with that kind of gaze when she said she had no value.
Because in her eyes, Chen Xue was like a valuable kidney, cornea, heart, liver... even skin.
Subsequently, Chen Xue was forced onto the earthen bed by Wu Hao and his mother...
Wu Hao's father, in front of his wife and son, actually assaulted her.
In her diary, Chen Xue wrote that on that day she felt like a piece of meat that had been washed clean, and they were pressing her down on a chopping board and cutting her up at will.
What Zhou Chunhua couldn't understand was why Chen Xue remembered these things in such detail.
The details are so detailed... it's almost unbelievable.
You know, if something like this happened to someone else, they would probably never forget it, so why would they record it in such detail in their diary?
Zhou Chunhua pondered for a moment, then turned to the next page.
She also found the answer in the last paragraph of this page.
There, Chen Xue wrote that she had to write everything down because she was afraid that if one day she lost the ability to express herself, then this diary would replace her mouth and expose the crimes committed by Wu Hao's family to the public.
At that moment, Zhou Chunhua was deeply moved.
Because Chen Xue's words at this point already indicated that she was prepared for the possibility of not being able to leave this place alive.
What must a person have gone through to write such despairing words?
However, the vile things Wu Hao's family did to her did not end there.
The diary entry states that from that day onward, they put wooden stakes on the earthen bed and then tied Chen Xue to the pit.
Chen Xue even lost the freedom to eat, drink, and relieve herself.
What Wu Hao ate and drank was all decided by his mother.
In order to get pregnant as soon as possible, Wu Hao's mother would give Chen Xue seven or eight bowls of herbal soup every day.
Chen Xue didn't even know what these medicines were.
Wu Hao's father would come to this room every day, drink a large bowl of herbal medicine in front of her, and then vent his anger on her.
Wu Hao would bring her pregnancy test strips every day to check for pregnancy.
At this moment, Chen Xue felt that in their eyes, she was probably just a beast of burden.
These days, which felt like an eternity, lasted for three months.
Until that day, two red lines appeared on the test strip in Wu Hao's hand.
Chen Xue was overjoyed to see Wu Hao's family dancing with excitement.
They even hugged and congratulated her in front of her.
Let alone people of Chen Xue's generation, even Zhou Chunhua couldn't understand how twisted this family's mentality must be to think that such a thing was worth celebrating.
That was the reality, and Chen Xue had no choice but to accept it.
Even so, Chen Xue did not compromise.
She still wanted to escape.
But at this point, the Wu family kept an even closer eye on her.
In her diary, Chen Xue wrote: "They were afraid that I would do something to harm the child, so they directly customized a special bed for her!"
The bed had a hole cut out at the buttocks area. A latrine bucket was placed underneath to catch her excrement and urine.
At that moment, Chen Xue was terrified.
This means that the Wu family intends for her to lie there naked and without dignity for an extended period of time.
Therefore, Chen Xue had no choice but to give in.
Because she knew that if a person was imprisoned for a long time, even if she was released in the future, the muscles in her hands and feet would probably atrophy.
In other words, if the child is born while she is still unable to move, then death is the only outcome for her.
So she gave in.
She began to show in front of the Wu family that she had accepted reality.
Finally, in the fourth month, Wu Hao agreed to untie her and let her put on her clothes.
From that day on, Chen Xue began planning her escape.
The diary entry reads: If I don't escape now, I won't be able to run away when my belly gets bigger.
After several failures, Chen Xue was very cautious this time.
She only trusts herself and no longer trusts anyone else.
But the Wu family still kept a close eye on her.
Even as her belly grew larger, she still hadn't found a chance to escape.
But the thing she least wanted to see still happened.
That night, Chen Xue overheard a conversation between the Wu family members.
They planned to have Wu Hao take her out after she gave birth... and disassemble her into parts.
