"Yes, she’s married. Her husband works at the town’s grain and oil company. Her father-in-law was once a leader there and after retiring, he got his son a position. The job is quite lucrative, dealing with procurement. Their house is always stocked with cigarettes, alcohol, sweets, tea, and large chunks of meat, never running out. There are three brothers in the family, and after she got married, they lived separately. One was a teacher, the other a public servant, and they should have had a happy life. They had a son in their first year of marriage. Both were busy with work, so her in-laws looked after the child. They lived quite comfortably until Dan Dan became dissatisfied, resenting her husband’s lack of ambition and low income, which wasn’t enough for her clothes. Somehow, she ended up having an affair with a local businessman and ran away with him several times, even quitting her teaching job."

"Ah... ran away several times?" Lin Wan was Surprised.

However, Han Yi and Lin Yinghui, standing nearby, lowered their heads with faint smiles, not at all surprised.

"Exactly, the first time she ran away, she even quit her job at the school, planning to start a business with that man in the city. Who knew, upon arriving there, she’d find out the man was married? His wife discovered the affair and chased Dan Dan out. With no other choice, Dan Dan returned home. Her husband, being a pushover, didn’t say a word about the affair, fearing she wouldn’t stay. He treated her well upon her return. Even though she was gone for days, he didn’t inform the family, instead pleading for her job back at the school with gifts and bribes. They thought she’d settled down, but less than two months later, she was entangled with that man again. This time Dan Dan didn’t flee but started secretly doing business with students, selling overpriced pens, notebooks, and study materials, forcing them to buy. If students refused, she’d punish them by making them stand during class or barring them from attending. Poor families couldn’t afford it after a while and resorted to collecting scrap and bottles outside school to buy the materials. Eventually, some parents found out and confronted the school, which only then did the leadership become aware of the extent of it. The situation blew up, resulting in Dan Dan being officially reprimanded."

"Because of this incident, Dan Dan’s husband discovered she had rekindled contact with the man. They argued, and he didn’t let her teach anymore, keeping her confined at home."

"Eventually, the family found out; her in-laws were so furious they sent their child over to live with them, refusing to care for him anymore."

"Since giving birth, Dan Dan rarely tended to her child, leaving it to her in-laws, until he was two. Now that she’s forced to look after him, it’s like a nightmare. The child made a mess of the house, needing constant feeding. She couldn’t handle it, and the couple argued constantly over child-related issues."

"Dan Dan went a step further, waiting for her husband to go to work, then locking their two-year-old in the courtyard and running away with that man."

"When her husband returned, the child was sitting outside, nearly crying himself hoarse."

"Dan Dan disappeared for half a year. No one knows what she and that man were up to. When she came back once to see my aunt, she was dressed... well, like a vixen."

"But she was generous, giving my aunt a hundred yuan. Now, my aunt is home all day on crutches, ignored by family. Dan Dan was the only one thinking of her. Upon hearing her daughter was living well, my aunt wanted to move in with Dan Dan and enjoy life."

"Dan Dan, however, wouldn’t take her along. She gave some money, skipped the meal, and left. But her in-law’s family, ever vigilant, caught wind of her return and immediately came to intercept her."

"They took Dan Dan back and her in-laws, along with her husband, gave her a severe beating, locking her back in the yard. After my aunt and uncle heard what happened, they came to confront them, accusing them of abusing their daughter."

"With my two cousins, they got into a fight. During the commotion, Dan Dan escaped again, utterly disgracing my aunt’s family." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Dan Dan’s whereabouts are currently unknown. Apart from Dan Dan herself, no one knows where that man is from or where he’s living. Even if we wanted to find her, we wouldn’t know where to start."
