Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 827: Sister-in-law Liu

The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Du Fengying was practically scared to death, and suddenly remembered there was a dagger in her bag given by Master Lu. Every family member had one, and although it wasn’t her turn, she was given one.

She touched her bag; it was still inside. Suddenly, her heart calmed down. She was not afraid. At worst, they would perish together. After all, she was already like this, so what was there to fear?

Even so, she still ran forward with all her might, feeling nauseated at the thought of encountering them.

Liu Laoda’s family kept trailing behind. The man was blinded by lust and didn’t even realize someone was following.

She felt intense hatred in her heart. She had worked like a horse for this family and was frequently beaten by her own husband and scolded by her mother-in-law, never having enough to eat and never feeling warm enough.

As she thought more about it, she felt increasingly wronged. Suddenly, anger surged courageously, and she picked up a rock from the ground and hurled it at the man’s head in front of her.

After all, she was a farmer and quite strong, and the rock was sizable. However, it didn’t hit Liu Laoda’s head but his shoulder.

Liu Laoda was terrified. Turning his head, he saw his wife looking like a ghost.

Instantly, fury surged. He no longer cared about chasing Du Fengying and ran straight toward his wife.

Liu Laoda’s wife realized what was happening. Seeing her husband running toward her with raised arms, she turned around and ran back in fright.

Du Fengying didn’t know what had happened behind her; she just ran forward with her head down. Her only thought was to quickly escape from here.

She ran several miles before she could no longer hear the man’s voice. When she looked back, she couldn’t see his figure.

Only then did she slow down. However, she didn’t dare to stop.

It didn’t take long for Liu Laoda to catch up with his wife and push her to the ground, beating her.

The man’s strength was immense, far beyond what a woman could withstand. After a few hits, Liu Laoda’s wife stopped struggling, thinking she might as well die like this. She had had enough of living with this man.

Liu Laoda, having vented his anger for a while, looked at the motionless woman on the ground, gave her a kick, and said, "Unlucky." Seeing the direction Du Fengying had run in, he knew he couldn’t catch up. He kicked his wife on the ground again, cursed, and left.

Liu Laoda’s wife lay on the ground, without even shedding a tear. She was used to it, truly used to it.

After lying there for a long time, she wondered why she just didn’t die like this. But her fate wouldn’t have it; despite this torment, she was still alive.

Just as she sat up, a man suddenly appeared. Liu Laoda’s wife squinted at him; it was the village bachelor.

"What’s this?" In fact, he had been following them all along. He had long had an eye on Du Fengying but never had the chance. He thought he might have luck this time, but unexpectedly, Du Fengying still got away.

He had also seen Liu Laoda beat his wife. He had watched from a slope on the side for a long time. After Liu Laoda left, his wife was still lying on the ground, so he came over to take a look.

"Liu Lai, why are you here?"

"Just passing by, just passing by."

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know; you have the same thoughts as that beast."

Liu Lai, seeing that Liu Laoda’s wife was fine, rubbed his nose and wanted to leave.

"Liu Lai, do you want it?"

Liu Lai stumbled, turned around in shock, and looked at Liu Laoda’s wife.

"Cuihong, you?"

"I’ll give it to you."

"Really?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, why wouldn’t I?"

And so, the two of them were tangled together under the slope where Liu Lai had been hiding.

"Cuihong, your life is really hard."

"What does it matter to you?" Liu Laoda’s wife suddenly realized the fear. She had four sons and two daughters. If this were to get out, how could her children live?

Just now, she had lost her mind due to anger at Liu Laoda and did such a thing.

"Cuihong, I won’t say anything, don’t worry. If you ever need anything, just find me. If he hits you, I’ll hit him back."

This Liu Lai was indeed stronger than Liu Laoda; saying he would beat Liu Laoda wasn’t just boasting.

Liu Laoda’s wife said nothing, just lowered her head and walked back.

"Cuihong, you head back first. I’ll go in after you reach the village. I don’t want rumors to harm you."

Liu Laoda’s wife said nothing else, just lowered her head and walked.

It was already quitting time; villagers were at home, and no one was outside. Otherwise, they would have caught others’ attention.

After returning home, Liu Laoda’s wife lowered her head and worked. Old Mrs. Liu saw her eldest daughter-in-law come home, and her bad mood erupted immediately, cursing, "You bitch, how long has it been since quitting time? You just got back? Are we all waiting for you to serve us?"

Although they had split the family, they still lived together.

Liu Laoda’s wife suddenly raised her head and stared expressionlessly at Old Mrs. Liu.

Seeing how her eldest daughter-in-law looked, Old Mrs. Liu was startled, "What happened? Who hit you?"

At Old Mrs. Liu’s shout, everyone in the house came out.

"Mom, what happened? Who hit you?"

Looking at her eldest son, already seventeen, Liu Laoda’s wife’s eyes were a bit red, but she still didn’t cry.

"Mom, talk, who hit you?"

"Your dad."

The courtyard fell silent, and no one spoke.

In the Old Liu Family, men were the heavens. Women being beaten by their own husbands was a normal occurrence in their home.

After dinner, Liu Laoda laid to the side, thinking of Du Fengying’s fiery body and charming appearance.

He was utterly sick of his wife lying beside him.

Liu Laoda’s wife also lay motionless. Initially, she felt a bit regretful and scared; now, she felt it was how it should be. This man wronged her; how could she be at fault?

Du Fengying walked alone, growing more angry and scared as she thought.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the time; it was almost eight o’clock. She was about to undress and sleep when she heard a knock at the door.

"Xiao Jiang, it’s me, Sister-in-law Liu."

Jiang Xinyu hesitated for a moment but quickly responded, wondering why Sister-in-law Liu came back tonight when she wasn’t supposed to arrive until tomorrow night.

After opening the door, "Sister-in-law Liu, why are you back so late? It’s so unsafe on the road."

"It’s fine."

Jiang Xinyu was startled hearing Sister-in-law Liu’s voice, she locked the door and went inside. Seeing Sister-in-law Liu’s disheveled appearance, "What happened?"

Du Fengying sat on the bench in the main room, shedding tears while recounting the day’s events to Jiang Xinyu, including how Liu Laoda had chased her.

"It’s all right now; you’re home, and you’re safe," Jiang Xinyu comforted Sister-in-law Liu.

"I never thought someone could be so evil."
