"Shut up! Don’t you talk so nastily, what we had was supreme love!" The delicate-faced woman seemed unable to withstand such a direct accusation, instantly losing control and shouting back loudly!
"Supreme love? Bullshit! Do you know what that man you admire so much said to our mother? He asked her to ’discipline’ you nicely, to stop acting like a cheap whore. Even if you throw yourself at him, he wouldn’t care, and he doesn’t want you destroying his family and happiness!"
Speaking to this point, the elder woman took a deep breath and continued to loudly enlighten her:
"He said that he has a family, a wife, children, and does not want to live under the pointing fingers and strange looks of others! Our mother couldn’t even lift her head after his mocking words, and that’s why she sneakily sent me over while you were not paying attention! Do you really think that man loves you? If he did, would you still be here?"
"He, he..." The obviously younger girl was about to say something but was interrupted by the other.
"Bullshit! How long will you continue to deceive yourself? He never responded to you, and to avoid you, he even dared not go to school for a while. If not for your idiocy in persistently seeking him out, causing his wife to nearly have a miscarriage, would they have come to our door to accuse our family of being ’uncouth’? Do you know how you are being talked about back at home? Do you have any shame?"
"Sob sob... Stop it, it wasn’t intentional, she came at me, how was I supposed to know she was pregnant, I hardly used any force, she fell on her own. She must have set me up on purpose!"
"Shut your mouth! You say it was on purpose, but she was bleeding, are you blind? Because of this, our parents almost lost their jobs. How much longer will you continue to be so willful? Do you think provoking your brother-in-law will end well for you? You’re still yearning to go back, but are you aware that the man you admire almost went to the Revolutionary Committee to report you! If dad hadn’t shamelessly begged on his knees for leniency, do you think you’d get off so easily?"
"I..."
"If you keep this up, I won’t care what mom threatens me with. If you want to go back, I’ll send you to the train immediately, but once you’re back, don’t blame them if they call the police to have you arrested! I’ve heard the victim’s family has quite an influence in town! If you’re not afraid of dying, then you might as well go back!"
After finishing her tirade, the older woman abruptly let go, pulled open the room door with a ’bang’ and slammed it shut behind her.
Leaving the younger woman to collapse sobbing onto the bed, full of bitter air, crying uncontrollably.
She kept asking herself: Why has it come to this? She just wanted to be with him...
...
Zhang Shan Ni woke up to find it was not yet bright outside. Glancing at her watch, she noted it was just after three o’clock. Turning to feel the warmth of the man beside her and sensing the strong pulse in his arm, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Spirit Core Liquid is very mild, but it can cause one to fall into a deep sleep, typically requiring ten hours of rest. Moreover, the dosage she gave him was enhanced with additional ingredients, only ensuring he would sleep even longer.
She was able to wake up just after three o’clock because her body had taken it several times before, and was in prime condition, completely devoid of any hidden damage. It was just like waking from a good sleep, naturally waking up once she’d had enough.
It looked like there would be no prenatal checkup today. Following the usual pattern, Xie Jingchen wouldn’t wake up until at least five or six o’clock. By that time, it would already be dark and even colder outside, so Zhang Shan Ni immediately concluded they wouldn’t be going for a prenatal checkup today.
Waking up hungry, Zhang Shan Ni thought about how the man would feel even hungrier upon waking. So, she got out of bed to cook something delicious, to reward the man’s appetite as it was not easy for him to come back.
