Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 620: Escape? I want to run but I can't

She could only help the woman deal with her injuries as best as she could. These injuries could only heal on the surface; the internal injuries were difficult to treat without surgery.

Seeing Yao Qingnian frowning, the woman put on her clothes embarrassedly, then revealed a bitter smile: "Madam, I'm fine, thank you today, thank you for helping Yu'er and me to treat the injuries. It's a pity that we have nothing to repay you. This is the only valuable thing I brought as a dowry that has not been taken away by my man. Please don't despise it, just think of it as a little thought from our mother and daughter. Put it away quickly, don't let him see it, otherwise it will be snatched away again." The woman took a long time to take out a small silver pendant from her fixed bun. It can be seen that this is the most valuable thing on her body.

"Why don't you take your daughter away from him? If you leave him, no matter where you go, you should be better off than now, right?" Yao Qingnian asked softly without taking the silver pendant from her hand.

This question touched the woman's heart. She was silent for a moment and then said, "I also want to escape from this place where life is worse than death. Even if I die here and cannot leave, I still want my daughter to leave."

The woman began to tell her story.

"I am just an ordinary farm girl. Back then, I married my man at the behest of my parents and the matchmaker.

My family members thought he appeared to be a gentle and honest man with no bad habits. Apart from the fact that he had married a wife who died of illness, they lived a relatively comfortable life.

Everyone in the country lives a tight life. He doesn't have a mother-in-law or parents to serve, let alone brothers and sisters. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. My parents think that if their daughter marries into the family, she will not be bullied, and that the couple can live a good life, and they can always live a stable life.

I was originally full of longing for this marriage, but who could have thought that this was not the beginning but the end of my good days.

My nightmare of hard days began after I married him. Within two days of the marriage, his true nature began to show. He beat and scolded me every day. After beating and scolding me, he apologized to me and promised that this would be the last time.

Every time I thought, maybe he really didn’t mean it, and I forgave him again.

But instead of stopping, he became even more violent. I couldn't stand it anymore and ran back to my parents' home. After my family members learned about what happened to me, they came to my house to seek justice for me.

But he was so good at disguising himself that he could always confuse my family members.

He didn't restrain himself until I got pregnant with Yu'er. However, after I gave birth to the child, he saw that it was a daughter and stopped pretending. His true colors were revealed in front of my family and they admitted what he had done to me.

My family members in my mother's family went to settle accounts with him, but he directly threatened them, saying that since I had married him, I was his and it was none of their business what he wanted to do. He also went to harass my family members in my mother's family again and again, asking them to break off the relationship with me. From then on, I would be like him, without any relatives.

Once, I was beaten half to death, and I ran back to my mother’s house in the dark with my infant child to seek help, but soon, that beast came and beat up my parents as well.

I have severed ties with them, and after so many incidents like this, they dare not control me anymore.

I had no choice but to live like this one day at a time. I also tried to escape and take my daughter away, but every time, I couldn't get far before he caught me.

Every time I tried to escape, I was beaten. He not only beat me, but also the child. The farther I ran, the harder he beat the child. So, in order not to let the fish suffer, I had to give up escaping and stay. I dared not run away again. If I ran alone, I might still have a chance, but what about the fish?

There is no other way, so even though life is like this, I can only accept my fate. He beats me and the kids whenever he is unhappy.

So, it's not that I don't want to let you stay here, but I just don't want you to come into such a dirty cage." After the woman finished speaking, she felt much calmer, but she still couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Yao Qingnian thought, isn't this a typical domestic violence man? She wanted to say something else, but a man shouted from outside the door: "It's time to eat!"

The woman came back to her senses and said, "Madam, thank you for listening to me. I have finally relieved a lot of the bitterness in my heart. I will leave first. If I leave too late, I will be beaten again."

After saying that, she took the child away. Yao Qingnian sighed, feeling mixed emotions. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing in there? You've been cleaning the room for a long time and you haven't come out yet. I'm warning you, if you dare to say anything nonsense, I'll throw you into the mass grave to feed the wolves. Do you hear me?" The man followed them to the kitchen and warned them in a low voice. Then he came out with bowls and chopsticks, smiling: "These are all home-cooked dishes. I don't know if you are used to eating them. Come on, don't be polite, eat!"

"Hmm!" Yao Qingnian and others hummed but did not say anything. Looking at the food on the table, it was quite good. There were vegetables, meat and white porridge. Although it was a bit watery, at least there were still a few grains of rice floating on it. In the countryside, this was already a very good meal.

"Do you want to drink? I have some fine wine in my collection that I've never been willing to drink. I don't have anything good here either. It's a rare opportunity to meet distinguished guests today, and it's fate that we're all here together. I'll go get it, and let's have a few drinks together." After the man finished speaking, he turned and went into the house without waiting for their answer. After a while, he came back with a jar of wine.

Then a bowl was poured for each person. Yu'er looked at the meat and her mouth was watering. She had never eaten meat since she was a child, but the aroma went straight to her nose.

Lu Huaijin broke off a chicken leg and handed it to her.

"Young Master, please eat. It's such good meat, it's such a waste to give it to her!" The man glared at the girl in dissatisfaction.

Yu'er tried his best to hold back his saliva, and did not dare to take the chicken leg, then ran to the kitchen.

Lu Huaijin had no choice but to put the chicken leg into Yao Qingnian's bowl. Xuanfeng watched eagerly from the side. He also wanted to eat the chicken leg. Hehe, but when can't chicken legs be eaten? Following the wife, there are things that are more delicious than chicken legs! When he was thinking about this, the master actually gave him another chicken leg for the first time. Xuanfeng was so moved that tears were about to flow. Did his master become a different person? He always robbed his things. Is he sick today?

"Master, I know you are thinking about me. You are so kind to me. I am already very touched. I am happier than eating ten chicken legs."
