"Okay, I won't die!"
Zhou Jiuzhen, his eyes drooping, wiped away his tears and spoke again, "But Huanwu, I don't want you to suffer with me. We don't even have a proper house on this island, my mother is still the same kind of person, and I have three children to support. If you suffer with me, you'll only suffer endlessly. I can't be so selfish..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Huanwu's eyebrows shot up, and she slapped him across the mouth again. "Report your mistake, report it again!"
"I don't want that woman to make you suffer every day..."
"Slap!" Another slap landed on Zhou Jiuzhen's mouth.
"Now that we have three more little ones in the family, from now on we..."
"Slap! Slap!"
"I don't want you..."
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Zhou Jiuzhen pursed his swollen, red lips, staring intently at Ling Huanwu, his eyes filled with glistening tears.
"I don't want to leave you, my child's mother..."
"You have my child, you have to take responsibility for me and the child. Please don't leave me because of that woman and these three children, okay? I can't leave you..."
He could no longer contain his sorrow and took Ling Huanwu's hand, which was red from hitting him, and kissed it.
Hot tears fell one after another onto her palm. He raised his wet eyes, and his clear eyes reflected the woman's equally red eyes.
"Huanwu, will you marry me again?"
Just now, he made up all sorts of reasons to break up.
Every word he spoke felt like a knife stabbing into his heart, causing him excruciating pain that could kill him instantly.
But with this sentence, it was as if he had used all his strength to pull out those excruciating blades, peeling away the knife that caused him unbearable pain, revealing his true heart to her, and begging her to accept it.
Ling Huanwu burst into tears, gently kissing his swollen, red lips. Her voice trembled and broke with sobs as she kissed him, pinching his cheek as she spoke. "Silly boy, we've only filed for divorce. We're not divorced yet! You're the father of the child in my belly!"
“Yes, we’re not divorced yet,” Zhou Jiuzhen replied, cupping the back of the woman’s head. Tears glistened on his swollen lips as he whispered a seductive murmur, “But I want you to marry me again every day, to be my bride every day…”
Many beams of sunlight streamed into the makeshift wooden shed, and tiny dust particles danced freely in the sunlight.
Just like the two people who were completely absorbed in their lovemaking in bed.
The triplets, small and helpless in the corner, stared wide-eyed, their chopsticks clattering to the floor. They looked up at the two who had just been fighting on the bed, now arguing again. They were all trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
I used to see my own father beat my own mother so often that I got used to it.
But that kind of beating would only leave the mother covered in bruises.
Unlike my uncle, who looked like he was about to devour my aunt, it was terrifying!
The three little ones could no longer hold on and rushed out of the wooden shed in terror, crying and shouting to the adults around them, "Waaaaah, Uncle ate Mommy!"
The three babies are only a little over a year old.
Da Bao and Er Bao just kept crying, which attracted the attention and inquiries of other adults.
Xiao Bao was the only one who talked a lot and perfectly expressed his thoughts.
Xiao Bao continued wiping away his tears, his little mouth babbling incessantly, "Uncle is eating Mommy's mouth, half of his face is in her mouth, Uncle wants to eat Baby too, waaaah..."
The people standing next to Zhou Jiuzhen's wooden shed were his comrades-in-arms and their families.
When the three little ones told them that Zhou Jiuzhen ate his mother, their eyes widened in shock.
Seeing the terrified expressions on the three children's faces, they naturally assumed that Zhou Jiuzhen and his wife were fighting. They rushed into the wooden shed to try to mediate, only to find Zhou Jiuzhen rushing out with swollen red lips, looking furious.
"Xiao Bao, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever eat your aunt? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank your little bottom!"
Zhou Jiuzhen picked up the rambling Xiao Bao from the ground and started spanking him without saying a word. His two older brothers were so scared that they put their fists in their mouths and dared not make a sound.
She was terrified that her little mouth would be eaten by her uncle.
Ling Huanwu hurriedly chased after them and rescued Xiaobao from Zhou Jiuzhen's grasp. She then explained to her stunned comrades and aunties, "I was just fighting with Jiuzhen. This child is being silly and has made everyone laugh at him."
The aunties had also heard about what Chu Mei had done at the dock. They thought it was normal for the couple to quarrel over this, so they offered a few words of advice and then went about their business.
After the three little ones returned to the wooden shed, they each clutched their three small lunchboxes in a panic, and even the pig's trotters didn't taste good anymore.
They watched as their aunt, her face flushed, buried her head in her food, her little mouth smacking as she shyly gnawed on the pig's trotter.
The eldest uncle was still in that murderous posture, staring intently at the eldest aunt, his eyes filled with a murderous intent that seemed to want to tear her apart and devour her. The three of them were so frightened that their eyes rolled back, their small bodies swayed, and they fainted...
*
The sea was calm, and the escort boat carrying Song Yaoyao and Qin Zhizhi moved slowly forward.
The other leaders sat in the cabin discussing the future plans for Wantan Island.
Zhao Tingguo kept looking at Zhao Jingxiang, whose hands were cuffed, wanting to get closer but unable to, feeling a tightness in his chest with nowhere to vent.
Although Song Yaoyao was handcuffed, the ruthlessness in her mind never subsided.
She glanced around furtively. Several police officers guarding them were talking at the bow of the boat, glancing back at them warily every now and then.
Qin Zhizhi, standing beside him, muttered that she was hungry, and Guard Ma immediately looked distressed and said, "Miss, wait here, I'll go ask them for some food."
After saying this, Ma, the guard, walked towards several police officers, wanting some flatbread for the young lady to eat.
Seizing the opportunity, Song Yaoyao suddenly rushed forward and used all her strength to push Qin Zhizhi, who had just gotten up, into the sea.
A loud "splash" shattered the calm of the sea.
"Someone has fallen into the sea!" the police officer shouted, and immediately some people began to take off their clothes to prepare to jump into the sea to rescue the person.
The guard turned around and looked at the spot where the railing had been.
There's no sign of his young lady anywhere there!
He panicked instantly and leaned out to take a look.
His young lady was seen thrashing about at the bottom of the boat, and had swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater!
The guard, his eyes blazing with fury, forgot he was still handcuffed and jumped into the sea to save people before the police officers could even react.
Chaos erupted on the ship.
While everyone's attention was focused on the person who had fallen into the water, Song Yaoyao quietly moved to the other side of the boat.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and, still handcuffed, leaped into the icy seawater, which instantly swallowed her.
She swam desperately underwater, heading towards the distant island, each stroke of her arm seeming like a struggle to break free from the shackles of fate.
The shouts behind her gradually faded away, leaving only the waves lapping against her body, as if providing accompaniment to her frantic escape.
She had only one thought in her mind: escape, escape as far away as possible.
She's going back for revenge! She's going back to retrieve that mysterious space belonging to Ling Huanwu!
Take back everything that belongs to her!
