After Xiaohan gave birth, her family and husband stopped watching her so closely and would occasionally let her go out to the village, but it wasn't easy for her to escape.
Her husband once said that if he found her leaving the village, he would come back and break her legs.
She believed that the man wouldn't break her legs if she left the village, but if he found out she had left the village and called her back, she would definitely be beaten. Having been with him for over a year, she knew this man best. He was ruthless and could hit her without warning. He wasn't just trying to scare Xiaohan; under normal circumstances, she really wouldn't dare to run away.
Later, Xiaohan met a woman in the village. The woman was in her thirties and had also been trafficked. She now had two children and had no intention of running away anymore; she was determined to live like this.
She had taken her husband and son back to her parents' home in another city a few times, so her husband trusted her completely and allowed her to go anywhere, even if she took the child back to her parents' home alone. In other words, she had passed her husband's approval.
Xiaomei said, "Sister-in-law, haven't you ever thought about escaping?"
My neighbor said, "I tried many times before but failed. Now it's easy for me to go back to my parents' home; your brother will give me the travel expenses. But I have two children, so why should I try? My daughter is sixteen this year, and my son is thirteen. I really can't bear to leave my two children. Besides, my husband treats me well. I'll just make do and live like this for the rest of my life."
Many wives bought from others are like this: at first, they desperately want to escape, but as their children grow up, they gradually give up. It's what people often say: women feel at ease once they have children.
When a woman doesn't have children, she might want to run away, but as long as the man isn't stupid, she won't run away once she has several children. That's generally how it is with wives bought from others; she can give up her family and her husband, but she can't give up her own children. As long as her husband treats her well, they can still make do.
Xiaomei's situation is different. She married a cruel and vicious man. Although he has a daughter, he can't keep her heart. She has nothing to miss here and is unwilling to spend her life with a cruel and vicious man. She might die at his hands at any time and thinks about escaping every moment.
My neighbor said, "In your current situation, you can't even run away."
"To be honest, I'm so scared I don't dare run anymore. Every time I run, they catch me and beat me senseless. How could I have met a man like this in my life? I really don't want to spend my life with a man like this."
Xiaomei broke down in tears as she spoke. Her neighbor wiped away her tears and said, "When we women get to this point, the more we want to run away, the less we can. If you can't escape after two attempts, your husband will watch you like a thief every day. How can you run away then? I have an idea: don't get pregnant again. If you can't conceive after a while, he'll take you to the city for a checkup. Once you're in the city, try to escape. In the city, as long as you're out of his sight, it'll be easier to run away."
It has to be said that experience counts. Xiaomei said, "Sister-in-law, that's a good idea, but is it up to me whether I get pregnant?"
She can't say for sure about this. A few months after giving birth, the man will force her to have sex, and she will get pregnant.
My neighbor said, "You can secretly take birth control pills. I'll go down the mountain tomorrow and buy you two bottles. Remember to take them before having sex, and whatever you do, don't get pregnant again. We'll take you to the city for a checkup sometime, and then you can escape!"
My neighbor is really kind. The next day, she went to the city and bought me two bottles of birth control pills. When she came back, she secretly handed them to me and said, "Take these home and hide them well. Don't let your husband find out. If he does, don't say I gave them to you. Your husband is a notorious scoundrel in our area. Your brother and I really can't afford to mess with him."
Xiaohan's husband doesn't allow her to go out every day, and she rarely talks to the villagers. Even when she does talk, no one dares to say anything in front of her, mainly because no one can afford to mess with her shameless husband.
You can offend a gentleman but not a scoundrel. Sometimes you really can't mess with a scoundrel. To be honest, people in the village will avoid him when they walk. It's like the saying goes, if you can't afford to mess with him, can't you at least avoid him?
She only realized today that her husband was a scoundrel. No wonder he was so ruthless to her, always beating her to death each time. Once he even beat her unconscious. Now, she's terrified of her husband, let alone trying to escape.
The man once said, "If you run again, I'll catch you and break your legs. You don't believe me? Try it."
The man wasn't trying to scare Xiaohan; he was a notorious scoundrel, and Xiaohan believed that if he said something, he would do it, because he was definitely not a good person.
Xiaohan peeled off the label from the medicine bottle and threw it away. She said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll hide the medicine bottle well. Even if he sees it without a label, he won't know what kind of medicine it is."
Xiaohan later secretly took birth control pills. She gave birth last spring and has been unable to conceive for almost two years by the end of this year. Her first child was a daughter, and her husband wanted her to have a son, but Xiaohan has been unable to get pregnant.
The man cursed, "You're a hen that can't lay eggs. You must have fertility problems. I'll take you to the city for a checkup tomorrow, get cured right away, and give me a son."
Xiaohan was secretly delighted upon hearing this, as the first step of her plan had succeeded.
The next day, her husband took her to a hospital in the city for a checkup, and both of their test results showed that their fertility was normal.
As she left the clinic, her husband slapped her several times and then asked, "Did you secretly take birth control pills at home?"
Although Xiaohan was scolded, she was secretly delighted. The first step of her escape plan had succeeded. She raised her hand to touch her face, which was sore from her husband's beating, and said, "You think too highly of your wife. I can't even leave the village every day. Where am I supposed to buy birth control pills?"
Both of them have normal fertility, so there's no need to consider that it was caused by secretly taking birth control pills. Otherwise, how could they not get pregnant? It would be strange if her husband believed her when she said she had never taken birth control pills.
Her husband kicked her a few more times and said, "Fine, go ahead and argue with me. I'll go home, find some birth control pills, and break your legs. Let's see how you'll cause trouble for me then."
Xiaohan thought to herself, "I'm going to run away today too. It's not as good as having my own man at home. The birth control pills are hidden in the house. If I look for him, I can find them. And if nothing unexpected happens, he'll really break my legs."
She said, "Honey, I'm going to the restroom."
The man said, "You're so troublesome. Let's go."
They walked to the toilet door. Even if the man was a scoundrel, he wouldn't dare follow his wife into the women's restroom to watch her relieve herself. He could only stand outside the toilet door and wait. In his mind, if he blocked the toilet, his wife wouldn't be able to escape.
Xiaohan was worried after entering the toilet. There was a very small window above the toilet, and she couldn't climb out. How could she escape? But if she couldn't escape from the toilet, how could she escape when the man was always by her side? If things continued like this, she would have no choice but to obediently go back with him.
