"What did you say?!"
Wang Ze thought he had misheard.
“I said,” Su Zhenzhu tried to smile, but her face hurt terribly, and every movement pulled and made her wince, so she gave up smiling, “I said, my sister-in-law can’t have children, but I can.”
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Wang Ze was furious.
Wang the Madman was very fair; he bought a wife for each of his four mad sons.
From Wang Ze marrying Jin Mudan ten years ago, to the third brother Wang Tao marrying his sister-in-law Bai Xiuhua eight years ago, and then to the fourth brother Wang Tang marrying his sister-in-law Feng Yindi five years ago...
For so many years, not a single grandchild has been born into the Wang family!
"Brother, I'm not a bad person. I did kill Wang Bo, but he forced me to. Look at me now! If I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me! Brother, I'm a pitiful person, but I really want to live a good life!" Su Zhenzhu cried.
"What does it matter to me whether you can have children or not?" Wang Ze's eyes flickered. He had already understood Su Zhenzhu's meaning. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted.
Su Zhenzhu was robust with a large bottom, clearly a woman who could bear children easily.
"Big brother!" Su Zhenzhu suddenly stood up. "I'm sure I can have a son! My neighbor used to say that with my physique, I could definitely have three big, healthy boys!"
Wang Ze suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Su Zhenzhu added, "Brother, once you have three sons, won't you be able to walk around the village with your head held high?!"
Three sons!!!
Wang Ze's eyes lit up again, but he still used his remaining rationality to refuse her: "But, you might already be pregnant with the second child!"
"No!" Su Zhenzhu said firmly, "He's not good enough!"
Wang Ze's pupils suddenly lit up.
Second brother... no good?
Are the third and fourth brothers also incapable?
His only capable older brother, yet he ended up with a woman who couldn't have children?
What Su Zhenzhu said is true.
Su Zhenzhu is already 25 years old and has worked for ten years in a place like a match factory where there are lots of mean-spirited old women. What doesn't she understand?
Wang Bo, it's not that he can't, it's just... he doesn't know how.
If a woman were to teach him, he might learn it.
But how could Su Zhenzhu possibly teach her?
Therefore, the two times he thought he had successfully raped Su Zhenzhu were merely a struggle with her belly.
As Su Zhenzhu spoke, she used her only remaining left hand to undo her belt: "Brother, if you don't believe me, come and try it."
Wang Ze swallowed hard.
Although Su Zhenzhu is now dirty and smelly, he is not a clean person.
In his entire life, apart from the Golden Peony, who couldn't distinguish between the front and back, he had never touched another woman.
But this woman has killed people before; she is a dangerous woman.
Wang Ze's rationality made him stop: "I need to tie your hands first!"
Su Zhenzhu obediently extended her left hand.
Wang Ze took off his belt and tied her left hand to the pillar.
Su Zhenzhu was incredibly compliant, even actively adjusting her posture.
Just as the two were about to get down to business, they heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground behind them.
The two turned around and saw Jin Mudan standing at the door of the woodshed. On the ground was a broken bowl, which could be seen to have originally contained half a bowl of old pickled vegetables, and two black cornbreads were rolling away.
Jin Mudan asked in a trembling voice, "What...are you doing?!"
Wang Ze hurriedly pulled up his pants: "Peony, let me explain!"
Jin Mudan had already turned and left.
Wang Ze chased after him.
Su Zhenzhu's hand was tied to the load-bearing pillar of the woodshed, and she couldn't move no matter how hard she struggled.
She hurriedly tried to bite the strip of cloth with her teeth.
But Wang Ze, just to be safe, tied the cloth strip with three tight knots!
Su Zhenzhu was missing two more front teeth, so she couldn't bite through the huge knot at all.
Just as she was struggling in vain, Wang Ze's low scream came from the yard: "Ouch!!! Wife, I was wrong! She seduced me first!"
Jin Mudan remained silent.
Su Zhenzhu strained to look outside and saw that Wang Ze had actually climbed over the two-meter-high courtyard wall with his bare hands and run away.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Mudan took a sharp pig-slaughtering knife and walked into the woodshed.
Her figure almost blocked out all the light, but the cold glint of the butcher's knife in her hand was clearly visible.
"You bitch!"
Jin Mudan's voice was low and deep, "I was even thinking that you wouldn't starve to death, so I brought you food! And you actually seduced my man?"
"Sister-in-law! Don't be impulsive! Listen to me!"
Su Zhenzhu hurriedly curled up into a ball, "This will also benefit you! You can't have children, but I can! If I have a son with my eldest brother, he will be adopted by your eldest son's family and you can raise him! Then you will have a son!"
"What if...you have a daughter?"
Jin Mudan was clearly tempted.
"I'll give you my daughter too! I'll give you whatever I have! If it's a daughter, I'll have more! I'll keep having children until I have a son!"
Su Zhenzhu's voice was extremely humble, "Sister-in-law, please don't blame me, I just want to live! Wang Bo is completely incapable, how could I possibly get pregnant?! Sister-in-law, please have mercy and save me! I will definitely repay you by serving you like a slave in the future!"
Golden Peony's heart pounded wildly.
She loves children so much, whether they are daughters or sons. Seeing a pink and tender baby makes her heart melt.
But what if Su Zhenzhu really gives birth to Wang Ze's child, and Wang Ze becomes unfaithful?
No, she can't take that risk!
It would be safer to just bring a child back from her mother's village and raise it, as her mother suggested!
However, Wang Ze disagreed with doing so because the child he brought back was not of his bloodline.
Moreover, there are many people in the village, and as children grow up, there will always be people gossiping.
So, could we wait until Su Zhenzhu gives birth to her son, and then...?
But could I really bring myself to kill someone?
Su Zhenzhu saw the hesitation, calculation, and fleeting ruthlessness in Jin Mudan's eyes.
Having experienced a lifetime in her dream, she now sees through Jin Mudan's thoughts.
She added fuel to the fire: "Sister-in-law, everyone says I have a big butt, so I'm sure I'll have a son!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Mudan dropped the knife in her hand with a clatter to the ground.
She covered her face, squatted on the ground, and began to sob.
The suppressed sobs, like fingernails scraping against glass, made Su Zhenzhu feel extremely uncomfortable.
But now was not the time to worry about this foolish woman's feelings. Su Zhenzhu said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, can you untie me? My brother tied me up too tightly just now. I'm afraid my good arm will be ruined!"
Jin Mudan looked at Su Zhenzhu's arm, which was tied to the pillar, and sure enough, the entire hand had turned purple.
She picked up the butcher knife, hesitated for a moment, and then cut the belt off her pants.
Su Zhenzhu waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind! You have the heart of a bodhisattva! You are the greatest benefactor in my life!"
As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Jin Mudan more than a dozen times.
Jin Mudan dropped the knife in her hand, tears streaming down her face: "Don't shorten my lifespan!"
