ously, swallowing a sandwich and a bottle of water before he felt alive again."My name is Wan Cheng, and Wan Li is my father."The man finally introduced himself."Do you and your father disagree"Ripple...The ripples slept soundly until the sky darkened, then she woke up. However, instead of opening her eyes, she pricked her ears to listen. It was very quiet around her, so she slowly propped herself up.
Her stomach started growling again, she furrowed her brow and was about to get out of bed when the door swung open. It was her younger sister, with a bruised nose and swollen face, glaring daggers at her.
"Second brother, your wife woke up and is about to run away!"
Then, footsteps sounded, Qiao Lao Er walked in with a frown. Before he could speak, Lian Yi supported her waist and said:
"Second brother, I need to go to the toilet."
“
Joe the Second immediately retracted his insults and glared at his younger sister, saying:
"Help your sister-in-law to the bathroom, be careful. If you hurt my son, you won't be able to leave this place ever again."
Yes, second brother!
Yao Meier was so angry she could have exploded, but she didn't dare disobey her second brother. She had no choice but to walk over, used some strength to pull him up, and even secretly prepared to pinch Lianyi.
"Ouch!"
The ripples cried out before the other person could make a move, rubbing one arm and clutching their stomach with the other. It was clear they were in great pain.
"Slap! A resounding slap landed on Yaomei's face, followed by Qiao Lao Er's sinister voice:"
"Yo-yo, don't you understand what I'm saying Do you want to die"
"No, Second Brother! I dare not."
Yao Mei felt a metallic taste in her mouth and immediately trembled as she replied.
The second brother in their family has the worst temper, he truly has killed people. Several of his previous wives were beaten to death or crippled by him. So, in front of the second brother, she behaves like a mouse, not daring to resist at all.
But this time, the female college student just made her feel extremely annoyed. The girl was not only beautiful but also intelligent. Even though she had been beaten up badly by her second brother and had uttered some nonsensical words when she first arrived, it only fueled her anger further.
Why were they girls, but the other could dress so beautifully and befittingly, get to study at university in the city, while she had to drop out of school and do housework So before that woman got pregnant, she often bullied her, just to vent her own resentment.
Look! Even a beautiful and youthful college girl has to wait on them, and lower her proud head so that she, someone who only finished elementary school, can be trampled underfoot by her.
Ripples saw the girl's unwilling expression, the naked jealousy and malicious intent in her eyes were clear to her. She just couldn't do anything about it now because her body was too weak. Everything had to wait until she got better.
After being hit once, Yaomei dared not make any more small movements. She supported Lianyi to the restroom and then helped her back to the house and lay down. As soon as Lianyi said she was hungry, the elderly woman brought in a meal. This meal was obviously better than lunch, with a bowl of steaming rice, a dish of pork stir-fried garlic chives, a small plate of cold shredded chicken meat, and a bowl of chicken soup.
Liàn Yī's eating speed wasn't slow, it was just elegant, making it a visual treat to watch. Yāo Mèi on the side almost rolled her eyes to the sky, but she didn't dare make a sound.
When the old lady had finished clearing the dishes, Lian'er cautiously said to Qiao Lao Er:
"Second brother, can you take me to the hospital tomorrow I felt a little pain in my lower abdomen when I went to the toilet just now, and I'm worried..."
At this moment, there were no outsiders in the house. Although Qiao Er was reluctant, he knew that because of Qiao Wu's previous words, this woman wouldn't dare to deceive him. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. However, before going to sleep, he still threatened Lianyi.
"I can take you to see a doctor, but if you try anything funny, I'll kill you!"
"Second brother, I dare not."
Ripple immediately timidly obeyed, how could she leave before she had thoroughly stirred things up here That would be too little regard for her ancestor, Ripple.
After a night with no dreams, Lian Yi woke up and ate her fill the next day. Then she was ready to go to the county town with Qiao Lao Er. He specially handed her a cup of water and watched her drink it down before turning around and leaving the room.
The moment the door shut, Lian Ri reached for her throat and brought up the water she had swallowed. When there was nothing left to bring up, she poured some water into the bowl on the kang table and then smashed it onto the ground.
Because the voice was quite loud, the door was immediately opened. Lian Yi propped up her head, slightly dazed, and said:
"Second brother, I want to drink some more water. My head is starting to feel dizzy."
Joe Er looked at the bowl that was shattered into eight pieces, but instead of getting angry, he simply said:
"You must be tired, take a little nap. When the car arrives, I'll carry you out."
Lian'er this time didn't resist, nodding immediately and then collapsing by the kang, falling asleep in a moment.
"It seems the medicine is working better this time."
Jo Lao'er muttered something and then scooped Ripples up in his arms.
Liàn yī closed her eyes, but she heard the other person's whisper clearly. She said that this man who only knew how to be grumpy, how could he possibly kindly serve her water. It turned out that he had drugged the water.
Of course, the reason they did this is obvious: they don't want her to know how to leave here, they don't want her to know what this place really is, and ideally, they'd have her sleep through all the examinations.
Ripple tried to keep her breathing even, feigning a deep sleep. But her ears remained alert, constantly tuned in to the surrounding sounds.
She could feel Joe Second carrying her into a car, the door slammed shut, the engine roared to life, and the journey was bumpy. She felt very uncomfortable and hummed softly with a frown, but she didn't wake up.
"Little Six, slow down a bit, my wife isn't feeling well."
Joe the Second definitely didn't want his children to get into trouble, and immediately rebuked him.
"Alright then, second brother still spoils his daughter-in-law."
The speed immediately dropped, and the other party also said:
"Second brother, now that this deal is done, it's time for you to find me a wife, right"
"Don't you have a wife"
Joe the Second wasn't too keen on that.
"Second brother, my wife is getting old. She has given birth to three daughters but not a single son. Doesn't this mean I have no heir I need to find someone who can give me a son."
"Bah, be satisfied! I haven't gotten any yet!"
Joe the Second was obviously not happy.
"Second brother, my dear second brother, this time I'm paying for it myself. I won't let the village lose out."
The defendant Xiao Liu immediately said.
"Well, if you're paying for it yourself, then you can pick first."
After about forty minutes of bumpy roads, the car finally drove onto flat pavement. Lian's feelings were much better, but she was still careful not to open her eyes.
"Brother Two, we'll be at Lanshan Toll Station in a bit. Can you send me some money"
Liùzi immediately said.
"Okay, I know, won't be missing you."
Joe the Second said impatiently.
After that, the car slowed down and moved in a stop-and-go pattern, obviously queuing at the toll booth. And Lianyi also remembered the name of this toll booth, which was clearly a geographical coordinate.
As the car smoothly passed through the toll booth, the toll collector also glanced at Liàn Yī who was being held by Qiao Lǎo r.hadow that darted into the group of people.Ripple's figure flashed, catching up to the other group. Moments later, screams echoed from behind her, accompanied by a faint metallic scent of blood."Capta...
