"Water, water."
She croaked a few times but no one paid any attention. Linglong struggled to get up, but unfortunately the kettle was empty.
When she struggled to move out of the living room, she heard voices.
"You must not let Hongdou know about this."
Linglong paused. She was very familiar with her mother-in-law's voice. Hongdou was her nickname. But what was it that she couldn't know?
"They're already suspicious. Mom, what should I do? I could deceive Hongdou Hospital by using the blood transfusion as a medical checkup before, but now they want to do a paternity test, and they want it done on-site. The person I bribed just sent me a message."
Linglong covered her mouth in shock. Was the physical examination a lie? No wonder she was so weak after leaving the hospital.
And there's paternity testing, what the hell are they talking about?
"Why are you standing here? It's such bad luck." A disdainful voice sounded behind him.
Linglong knew who the visitor was without even thinking. The person who hated her so much could only be Xu Yingying.
She was Liu Baogen's child bride, and Liu Baogen always disliked her. She didn't return home for a few years after their marriage, and later he had a lover outside, and that person was Xu Yingying.
The mother-in-law cried and said that Baogen had wronged her, and even if she could not be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, she would still treat her as her own daughter.
At first, she was very sad when she received Liu Baogen's heartless letter asking for a divorce. But after a few years, Liu Baogen didn't change his mind and had someone else, so she gave up.
But her mother-in-law and other people in the Liu family were very kind to her, and she had no relatives and nowhere to stay, so she continued to stay in the Liu family, and this stay lasted for decades.
It's strange to say, Xu Yingying and Liu Baogen don't like her. She once suggested moving out, but the Liu family wouldn't let her go. They would rather let the couple feel uncomfortable, even though they seldom come over on weekdays.
But now she has some doubts about the intentions of her mother-in-law and others.
Linglong's thoughts lasted only a moment, and Xu Yingying's voice startled everyone in the room.
When she ran out and saw Linglong, Liu's mother's face changed drastically. "Hongdou, why are you here?"
"Did you hear everything?" Liu Baoqin's face was horrified, and soon turned vicious. "Mom, she already knows. We can't let her get out alive."
Linglong turned around and ran when she heard that.
Unfortunately, she was weak, and Liu Baogen and Xu Yingying were blocking her way.
As soon as she moved, she was clamped by Liu Baogen.
"Mom, kill her. If she runs away, our whole family will be finished." Liu Baoqin's face was ferocious. Years of psychological distortion turned into an impulse to destroy the other person immediately.
Who wants to die if they can live? Linglong immediately begs for mercy when she can't escape.
"Mom, Sister Baoqin, I don't know anything, please let me go."
"Mom, why don't we just lock her up? She can't do anything anyway." Liu Baogen suddenly spoke.
"Tell me, are you still thinking about her in your heart?" Xu Yingying roared immediately.
"What are you talking about? Don't you know what happened between us? I have explained so much to you." Liu Baogen was very impatient.
"Oh, if I hadn't been keeping a close eye on you two, you two would have hooked up long ago." After saying that, Xu Yingying expressed her support for Liu Baoqin. "She's a nuisance, she should have died long ago."
Linglong looked helplessly at her mother-in-law who was usually the best to her, her eyes full of pleading.
"Mom, you know me best. I promise, I'm not wrong anywhere, and I won't say anything nonsense. I really don't know what you are talking about. I just wanted to drink some water, and Baogen and the others came out right after I came out." She said in a hurried voice.
"No, she must die today!" Liu Baoqin screamed.
Mother Liu was silent and hesitant, but after just a moment, she showed a ruthless expression.
The desire to survive burst out strongly, Linglong pushed Liu Baogen away and ran out.
Because she was so fast, Linglong had already run into the yard before the Liu family members could react.
Unfortunately, fate was not on her side. She was caught up and knocked down before she could even open the gate.
"Help! They're going to kill..."
Before Linglong could even utter half a sentence, Xu Yingying covered her mouth.
Her limbs were pinned down so tightly that she couldn't move, and Mother Liu's grip on her neck became increasingly tighter.
The feeling of suffocation was so uncomfortable. She just wanted to live, why was it so difficult?
Before she lost consciousness, Linglong only remembered the ferocious faces of the Liu family members, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She had thought that the Liu family was kind, but it turned out that she had been living in lies and deception.
She is so silly.
…
"Is he still not awake?"
"If it doesn't work, send him to the county hospital."
It was so noisy. Linglong opened her eyes in a daze and saw her mother-in-law's surprised face coming towards her.
"Hongdou, you're awake!"
"Ah..." Linglong retreated in panic. "Don't come over here, don't come over here." The fear of being strangled to death by her mother-in-law was too deep.
She dodged and frantically searched for self-defense tools beside her.
"Hongdou, what's wrong with you? I'm your mother." Liu's mother was surprised.
"Is this child possessed by a ghost?" Father Liu frowned.
When Linglong saw the man after hearing his voice, he was immediately frightened. Hasn't the man been dead for many years? Where on earth is he?
Wait, the kang, she hasn’t seen it for many years.
Hiding in the corner, she looked at the Liu couple in fear.
Xiaoxiao was indeed standing there, and my mother-in-law looked a lot younger.
"Hongdou, Baogen was wrong in this matter. Tell me where you feel uncomfortable. Don't hide from me. It makes me uncomfortable seeing you." Liu's mother sighed.
Liu Baogen? What happened to Liu Baogen?
"You little brat, you didn't even know where to start. You just sent me a letter. I think he has grown wings and doesn't know his place. Hongdou is such a good child. Don't be afraid, Hongdou. Dad will help you vent your anger." Father Liu said angrily.
Letter? Linglong's dusty memories were finally awakened.
Is that the letter Liu Baogen sent her asking for a divorce? As far as I can remember, that was the only letter Liu Baogen wrote to her.
"What year is it now?" Linglong asked nervously after swallowing.
"It's been seven years, kid. Are you confused due to the fever? I think you should go to the hospital. The barefoot doctor in our village can only treat minor illnesses." Father Liu muttered.
Seven years, it is still seven years.
Linglong stretched out her hand, turned it in front of her eyes, looked at it carefully, and pinched her face.
"hiss."
"Why are you pinching yourself?" Liu's mother exclaimed.
The pain is real, not a dream.
She died, but came back to life?
Linglong looked around dreamily. This house and its layout were indeed the Liu family's old house in the village.
It took Linglong a while to digest the truth before she finally accepted the fact that she was living a new life.
The shadow of death was too deep, and Linglong Yi was afraid of Liu's mother, so she made the excuse that she felt tired and wanted to rest for a while.
As soon as the Liu couple left, she quickly started searching the house.
In the old tin box where she kept the biscuits, she found the heartless letter Liu Baogen had sent her.
After reading the letter again, Linglong no longer felt sad, but just found it ridiculous.
Why was she so stupid before? Why should she be sad for a man like Liu Baogen?
Don't you want a divorce? Divorce, now!
Also, she must leave the Liu family as soon as possible, otherwise who knows when she might be killed again without a trace.
Linglong clenched her fists with determination.
