Chapter 2: Coming back for revenge!
Su Mingyue screamed. Her hand had never been so painful before.
Xiao Ying didn't care about anything else at this moment, and quickly pushed Su Jinxia hard: "Hurry up and let go of your sister!"
Su Jinxia sneered and pushed the man back.
This time the pot on the stove fell completely over.
The hot water that spilled out immediately poured onto her back and quickly penetrated her cotton shirt.
“Ah! Ah!”
Xiao Ying screamed in agony and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Mom!" Su Mingyue shouted and crawled over.
I used all my strength to pick the person up. I saw that the skin on my mother's neck was burnt and blisters appeared. My own hands were red and swollen, and some parts were bleeding.
She looked up at her sister and said, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I had a high fever and lay in the room for two days and two nights. None of you cared about me or even gave me a glass of water. Since you don't care about my life or death, why should I let you live easily?"
Su Jinxia looked at the mother and daughter with a sneer on her face, "How was it? Did you feel good when you were scalded? Do you want to try it again? I'll boil another pot of water and pour it over your heads. Just thinking about that scene makes me a little excited!"
They looked at the crazy man in front of them and couldn't help but tremble. They were really scared.
Su Jinxia turned around and left, not choosing to go back to her own room because it was dark and damp and not suitable for human habitation at all.
She had slept there for more than ten years, then turned around and went straight into the largest room in the house. She saw her sister's room, which was not very good, but had everything it needed.
The quilt with small floral patterns, matched with the bed sheet, and even the pillow is pink, these are what she had longed for but could not get before.
She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. They were her father's discarded railway work clothes, which were covered with patches. From the time she was born until now, she had never worn a new piece of clothing.
Either they were from my father or from my mother, but my sister was different. She had a new piece of clothing every year, and even when she was the poorest, she would still have a piece of silk.
When they were about the same height, the sister's discarded old clothes became hers, with the euphemism that the clothes without patches were given to her so they could be considered new clothes.
At that time, she didn't understand why her mother was so partial. The living conditions of the people around her were not good. Everyone wore clothes with patches. It was rare for her to have clothes with so many patches like her.
She reached out to open the cabinet and saw that Su Mingyue's clothes were neatly stacked there, from outerwear to socks, everything was available. Su Jinxia took out her newest clothes and pants and put them on.
It's really ridiculous that the two sisters are treated so differently.
If she had not seen the photo of her grandmother, she would have suspected that she was not the biological child of the family.
But the mother and daughter in the living room were not so comfortable.
Xiao Ying looked at the blisters on her hands. Her whole hands were red and swollen, and the slightest touch made her grimace in pain.
One of them hurt her left hand and the other hurt her right hand.
Su Mingyue looked at the house and thought of her sister's cruel look just now, "Mom, what's wrong with my sister? Why is she like a different person?"
"She just went crazy because we didn't take care of her." Xiao Ying felt guilty. She didn't just want to take care of her. She actually wanted to kill Su Jinxia, mainly because her face looked more and more like a debt collector.
During this period, she often dreamed that her mother-in-law came back to seek revenge on her.
How could she not be afraid? If she couldn't get rid of him, she would just die of illness. That way, no one would say anything to her.
Fortunately, this girl was lucky and survived. She was not burned to death after two days and two nights. It was really unbelievable.
"Mom, my hand hurts so much!" Su Mingyue burst into tears, looking at her hand that was swollen like a pig's paw, "What should I do? It hurts more and more."
Xiao Ying knew that if they delayed any further, both of them would lose their hands: "Let's go to the clinic and take care of our hands first, and then we'll deal with her when we come back!"
Su Mingyue immediately agreed, "I'll settle the score with her when I get back."
Su Jinxia heard the sound of the door closing outside and knew that they went to the clinic. It didn't matter. There was still a long time to come and there was plenty of time for revenge.
Then I thought about the domestic violence man Song Jianping whom I married in my previous life. He should have just finished a blind date with his first wife at this time, so I should let my sister marry him in this life.
Last life, I was admitted to a university. When I went back to process my documents with the acceptance letter, all I got was three slaps from my mother and vicious insults. “Don’t think you can get away from us just by going to university. Don’t even think about it!”
As a result, her mother brought her some brown sugar water in the evening, said sorry to her, and then encouraged her to drink the water.
She really didn't think so much at the time. When she woke up, she was already lying in the cold cellar.
There is a shortage of supplies in this area, so every household stores potatoes and cabbages in the cellar in the winter so that they will have vegetables to eat throughout the winter.
The cellar in their house was left by their ancestors. It was so big and wide that no light could get in. You couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand. She kept shouting, but her voice couldn't get out.
In addition, she had no neighbors around, and no one rescued her after she screamed for three days and three nights.
Just when she thought she was about to die, a basket was delivered to her with a hard biscuit, some pickles, and a water bottle.
Then came the cold voice of my mother, "Don't even think about it. You can't get out. Our house is in a remote place. No one will come even if you scream your throat out.
Your sister will take your place in college, so you can just stay here and I will bring you food and water from time to time. You are so lucky, but now you have become a burden to us, and we have to support you. Just stay here and don't cause any trouble for me!
As for poop and pee, there's a bucket in the corner. If you don't want to stink to death, just poop there. If you want to stink to death, it doesn't matter where you poop."
"Mom, why do you treat me like this!" Su Jinxia shouted in despair, but the only response she got was the blocked hole.
Su Jinxia thought that her father would sooner or later notice that she was missing and come to find her and release her.
But my father died of illness during this period, and I never saw him from beginning to end.
She was locked in the cellar, and it was unknown whether her father knew about it.
Day after day, year after year, she used the rubble to write correct characters on the wall to record the time.
As for expecting her sister to take her place in college and be discovered, that didn't happen, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
The moment the entrance to the cellar was opened, she was blinded by the stinging pain. A rope was lowered from the entrance to the cellar.
My mother's words came again, "If you want to come up, tie the rope around your waist."
She thought she could finally be free, but after being imprisoned day after day, she had already compromised.
She doesn't have to go to college, as long as she is free.
The moment she was pulled to the ground, she could only vaguely see a few figures.
Then I heard someone say, "Your daughter is too thin."
"But she's beautiful!" Her mother's happy voice lingered in her ears.
"My sister is such a beauty. Even after being locked up for such a long time, her skin is still so white and tender. Maybe you can even squeeze it hard to make water come out!" The younger sister's laughter was endless.
She seemed to understand that this was the rhythm for her to get married.
"Mom, little sister, what are you doing?"
"You silly girl, if you don't want to be locked up anymore, just keep quiet and settle this matter! Then you can get out!" Her mother's cold words were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.
For the sake of freedom, for the sake of being able to go out, she forced herself not to say anything. After an unknown amount of time, she was pulled back into the house, still to the small room where she lived.
Soon her mother brought hot water and helped her wash her body and change her clothes. She didn't say a word during the whole process.
When she could see people vaguely, she was already at Song Jianping's home.
She thought she would be raped on her wedding night, but it turned out that she wasn't. Instead, she was beaten with fists. It turned out that Song Jianping's previous wife was tortured and committed suicide by drinking pesticides.
Recalling this, she clenched her hands tightly. Now that she could come back, she had to avenge herself in this life.
…
Xiao Ying and Su Mingyue came to the health center.
The two of them told the doctor everything, exaggerating the story. Everyone around them was stunned.
The neck was severely burned, and the clothes he was wearing were thick, so the water didn't penetrate him, so the surface of his skin was just red without blisters.
"Your eldest daughter is usually gentle and kind, and speaks softly, how could she possibly burn your hands!"
The old lady sitting next to him couldn't help but say, "Even if it's a burn, it should be an accidental injury. You can't ruin the child's reputation!"
Xiao Ying glared at the man. "I'm a mother. How can I say bad things about my own daughter? Besides, if that damn girl hadn't held me down, only one hand would have been burned!"
That exaggerated expression coupled with her outstretched hand made people around her unsure whether to believe it or not.
Doctor Liu wrote out the bill and said, "Go and pay the money. Don't make any noise here."
Xiao Ying looked at the amount of money on the bill and felt very distressed. She was going to teach that damn girl a lesson when she got home, and put her hands in the water to boil them...
