Yang Qing looked into Jiang Suisui's eyes, and she seemed to see a vast and boundless sea of stars, distant and deep, gentle and inclusive.
Yang Qing closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, as if gathering up his courage.
Then she spoke slowly, with a barely concealable tremor in her voice, and for a moment, all her memories were pulled forward at this moment.
Yang Qing was born in a family that favors boys over girls. When she was a child, her teachers always told her that knowledge can change her destiny, and she believed it firmly.
So, she studied very hard and won first place every year, thinking that her excellent grades would make her parents look at her more favorably.
The facts have not changed at all.
What's even more ridiculous is that after graduating from junior high school, her parents let her drop out of school.
However, they did their best to support Yang Qing's younger brother, who always ranked at the bottom of the class in every exam.
At that time, Yang Qing was young and unable to go out to work, so her parents put all the housework on her shoulders.
Every day, she was responsible for preparing three meals a day for the family and cleaning the house inside and out. Even though she tried so hard to please them, she was still met with endless beatings and scolding.
Maybe it was just because she got them a glass of cold water, or maybe it was just because she was studying from her brother's book while cooking.
They were even reluctant to buy her a new piece of clothing, and Yang Qing wore her brother's old clothes all year round.
After finally reaching the age of 16, she was finally able to go out to work. As a newcomer to society, without any academic qualifications, she could only start from the lowest level as a dishwasher.
But despite this, she was full of joy because she could finally start her own life.
But the reality is far more cruel than imagined.
Yang Qing's parents would always show up at Yang Qing's workplace on time when payday came, and collect her salary in a rude manner.
If Yang Qing expressed any reluctance, or even if her colleagues spoke up for her and refused to give them money, the two of them would just start throwing a tantrum at the door of her workplace.
Yang Qing was so ashamed that she felt embarrassed, and that feeling of shame is still engraved in her heart.
She thought about committing suicide, about jumping off anywhere and ending it all.
But when she really stood on the tall building, her legs trembled and she didn't dare.
When Yang Qing was 20 years old, her aunt found her parents and said she wanted to introduce her to a blind date.
The other party is an intellectual, a high school teacher, divorced, and childless, and is willing to pay a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan.
At that moment, Yang Qing's parents didn't even hesitate at all. They gave her away as if she were an item.
At that time, Yang Qing thought that God had pity on her and this might be her best chance to escape from this home.
Little did they know that this was just the beginning of another nightmare.
Soon, she got married, followed Wenqu to Kyoto, and lived in this house.
When I first met him, Wen Qu was wearing a pair of rimmed glasses, giving him a gentle and refined impression.
In the early days of their marriage, Wenqu was indeed quite nice to Yang Qing.
Every day he would remind Yang Qing to take good care of herself, but there was one thing that made Yang Qing feel a little strange. Wen Qu always said that it was not safe outside and was worried about Yang Qing's safety, so he would not let Yang Qing go out alone.
However, apart from this, everything in life was normal. Yang Qing gradually got used to such days and thought that he had finally found his own happiness.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
The first conflict broke out because of a trivial matter.
That day, the sister-in-law next door was busy with something and couldn't get away, so she asked her husband to send Yang Qing a bunch of vegetables she grew at home, and enthusiastically asked Yang Qing to try them.
Yang Qing took the vegetables with gratitude and was talking to the other party when Wen Qu came home from get off work and saw this scene.
Wen Qu had a seemingly gentle smile on his face. He walked up to Yang Qing, took his hand, and said words of thanks to him.
After the neighbors next door left, they entered the house.
The moment Wenqu closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
He dragged Yang Qing towards the room. After entering the room, he slammed the door shut, then swung Yang Qing hard onto the bed.
Then, he raised his hand high and slapped Yang Qing hard on the face with a "slap" sound, cursing viciously: "Bitch, how dare you seduce others!"
Yang Qing was frightened out of his wits by his sudden action and sinister and ferocious appearance. His body trembled uncontrollably and he stammered in defense, "I... I didn't..."
Yang Qing didn't even dare to cry out loud. She just shed tears silently, shouting that she really didn't do it.
In the next second, like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, Wen Qu's ferocious expression disappeared without a trace.
His face regained its gentle expression. He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched Yang Qing's face, which was red and swollen from being slapped.
The voice was so gentle as if expressing the deepest love: "Does it hurt? I'm sorry, my wife. I can't control myself when I think about losing you!" The huge contrast between the before and after made Yang Qing even more anxious.
From then on, Wenqu treated Yang Qing like a prisoner.
As soon as he went out, he would lock Yang Qing in the room without hesitation.
He didn't even let Yang Qing leave the room, and he had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the room.
The narrow space and cold walls became Yang Qing's invisible cage.
Yang Qing knew that her parents were definitely unreliable and they had abandoned her life long ago.
