Thinking about starting work tomorrow, Xia Xiaoli was as happy as a little girl. On her way to get her nursing license, even the air felt sweet.
Xia Xiaoli hummed a little tune happily!
She quickly went to the clinic to get her nursing license, and then went to the village to watch a movie.
There was a dark stretch of road in the village that took four or five minutes to walk across. Xia Xiaoli looked at the intersection, but it was too dark, so she was a little scared and didn't dare to go through.
After thinking about it, I decided to turn around and go home.
Xia Xiaoli was thinking, "Go back and get some rest, and go to work well the next day."
On the way back, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I looked at my nursing license.
I held it with both hands, opened it to take a look, and then laid it flat.
On the dark path, taking advantage of Xia Xiaoli's inattention, someone reached out and grabbed her, pulling her directly into the darkness.
"Hmm~" Xia Xiaoli tried to shout, but her mouth was tightly covered and she couldn't make a sound.
A warm breath kept brushing against her face.
That hand kept exploring, and Xia Xiaoli felt the cold wind blowing by. She felt so cold that her body couldn't help but tremble. She tried to break free from the man's restraint, but was held even tighter.
In the dark, dilapidated house, Xia Xiaoli closed her eyes in despair!
When Xia Xiaoli emerged from the darkness, she was disheveled. She tried to straighten her clothes, wiped away her tears from her red eyes, combed her hair again, and went home.
Fortunately, there were few people along the way, and Xia Xiaoli took her nursing license and went home.
He quickly returned to his room.
"Xiaoli, you're back. Why are you so late?" Xiang Shulan had already soothed the child and was about to go to bed after taking a bath.
Xia Xiaoli went back to her room and immediately locked the door.
"Yes, I went to see a movie for a while before coming back." Xia Xiaoli tried her best to control her emotions so that Xiang Shulan wouldn't notice anything unusual about her.
Xiang Shulan was already very sleepy. She stretched and said to Xia Xiaoli in the room, "Xiaoli, your sister-in-law is going to sleep. You have to go to the clinic for your internship at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Hurry up and take a bath. The hot water has already been heated for you, okay?"
Xia Xiaoli swallowed hard, composed herself, and replied, "Sister-in-law, I understand. You go to sleep now!"
"Okay, get some rest."
Xiang Shulan returned to her room, and Xia Xiaoli only breathed a sigh of relief after the door closed.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Xia Xiaoli couldn't bear to look at herself. She turned the mirror over, not wanting to see herself like this.
Thinking about how she had been humiliated, Xia Xiaoli couldn't stop crying, her face turned pale, and those scenes kept replaying in her mind.
Xia Xiaoli trembled with fear as waves of tearing pain shot through her body.
With nowhere to vent or confide, she bit her fingers to stifle her sobs and wept.
At that moment, Xia Xiaoli looked in the mirror, picked it up, and felt an impulse.
He smashed the mirror, picked up the shards, and committed suicide.
But thinking about how hard she had worked to escape being forced into marriage, and how her brother and sister-in-law had spent so much time, energy, and money on her, how could she just leave like this? That would be letting them down.
But the thought of being bullied and not being able to speak out made her sit sadly on the ground, hugging her knees and crying, unable to let the people she cared about know what had happened.
I hate myself for being so eager to get my nursing certificate; I could have gotten the rest tomorrow.
After crying for several hours, Xia Xiaoli comforted herself, telling herself that she had to live on strongly and continue working; she couldn't be so despondent.
As she tried to stand up by bracing herself against the bed, the sharp pain from her lower body made Xia Xiaoli's legs weak and unable to stand steadily.
At this moment, her brother and sister-in-law must be smelling very good. Xia Xiaoli took her clothes and went to take a shower.
In the bedroom, as she scrubbed the stains off her body, tears silently streamed down her face.
Xia Xiaoli can't forget it at all.
Even after showering and returning to my room, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, those images kept replaying in my mind. The shame was worse than death. I curled up in the corner of the blankets, tears soaking my pillow, still unwilling to face the reality.
She lost her innocence, and was treated this way by people she knew.
Xia Xiaoli bit her lip hard until her tongue tasted the blood before she let go of it.
This is the first time I've felt this night has been so long.
The weekend was over, and Shen Qiaoyue, as usual, got up early in the morning to go to work.
Chu Wanfang got up very early to make breakfast for Shen Qiaoyue and her family, and to make supplementary food for the children.
Qian Luoshui and Shen Qiaoyu usually come here for breakfast.
At noon, Shen Qiaoyue would come back for lunch before going to work at the factory, thinking that since her child was at home and would come back for all three meals a day, she could see her child.
Springtime in Fucheng is always unpredictable, with temperatures fluctuating between hot and cold. It only gets truly warm after the Qingming Festival.
Meanwhile, the troops began to intensify their daily training.
Shen Qiaoyue could clearly sense from the radio or daily newspapers that the situation in the north was very serious.
With troops being redeployed in all directions, Shen Qiaoyue knew that the situation was tense, but a fight was unlikely.
When Shen Qiaoyue went out, she saw Xia Xiaoli with her head down, wearing long sleeves and trousers, not looking at the road.
"Xiaoli, it's your first day at work, why are you so listless?" Shen Qiaoyue remembered that Xia Xiaoli was very happy yesterday, but she didn't know what was wrong with her today. As soon as she went out, she saw that Xia Xiaoli looked like she did before when her foot was not well.
Hearing Shen Qiaoyue's greeting, Xia Xiaoli looked up at Shen Qiaoyue and, a beat slow, said, "Sister-in-law Qiaoyue, are you going to work?"
This was an irrelevant answer. Shen Qiaoyue looked at Xia Xiaoli's eyes, which seemed swollen.
"Xiaoli, did you encounter some difficulties? You cried?" Shen Qiaoyue noticed that Xia Xiaoli was unhappy and asked her anxiously.
Xia Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat when she was asked that question.
She waved her hands anxiously, explaining, "It's nothing, Aunt Qiao, I... I was just too excited and didn't sleep all night!"
"How can this be? You have to go to work today, how can you not sleep? Have you had breakfast?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Xia Xiaoli worriedly.
It was only 7:30 a.m., and the sky was still overcast and not fully bright. The weather was also very gloomy, probably a cloudy day, which made the light seem even dimmer.
"Sister Qiaoyue, I've eaten. I'm going to be late, so I'm going to work now." Xia Xiaoli suppressed her discomfort and ran out of the residential compound.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Xiaoli's feet, fidgeting and hesitating.
"Could it be that Xiaoli's foot hasn't fully healed and has relapsed, and she doesn't want her family to know?" Looking at the way Xiaoli runs, something seems off.
"Qiaoyue, are you leaving?" Ye Hualan was driven out by Ye Jinsheng, and she greeted Shen Qiaoyue. "Yes, I'm here." Shen Qiaoyue thought that her leg injury must have relapsed, and she would ask Xia Xiaoli to go to the hospital to check it out when she got back in the evening.
I followed Ye Hualan and rode my bike to the factory.
