Hearing Xiao Manxue's warning, Wang Yuanyuan was really panicked. She didn't want to go to jail, nor did she want to marry that man.
Wang Yuanyuan knelt in front of Wang Meixia's hospital bed. "Auntie, what should I do? I can't marry that man. I'll be tortured to death by him. Auntie, please save me."
Wang Meixia's chest heaved violently. "Wang Yuanyuan, so you know it's a pit of fire? Then why did you push Xiao Manxue into it? She's also your cousin. What did I do wrong to make you harm my daughter like this?"
Wang Meixia's words made Wang Yuanyuan even forget to cry. This was the first time Wang Meixia had scolded her like this. How could she answer? She had been jealous of the Xiao Mandong sisters since childhood. The clothes of the Xiao Mandong sisters could fill an entire wardrobe, while she could only rely on her aunt's hand - outs. The Xiao Mandong sisters had their own snack boxes with exclusive small keys, while the delicious food in her family had to be left for her younger brother. The rooms of the Xiao Mandong sisters were decorated like princess rooms, with dolls mailed from abroad, while she had to squeeze into a kang with her grandma.
Since childhood, when the Xiao Manxue sisters hired tutors for classes, she could only sit in the corner and listen. She was like a little transparent person. There were many questions the teacher asked that she could answer, but the teacher never called on her. Her little aunt said it was for her own good, but every time the toys mailed by her aunt from abroad, she never got even a little bit of them. So when she heard the news that the Xiao family was sent to the countryside, she was overjoyed at that time. She was even jealous of her little aunt. She saw how well her little uncle treated her little aunt. When she grew up, she even had the absurd thought that when her little aunt got old and haggard, would her little uncle...
Old Lady Wang's angry shout interrupted Wang Yuanyuan's train of thought.
"Wang Meixia, Yuanyuan is your own niece. You can't just ignore her. Even if she marries a divorced man, it's better than marrying that poor guy."
Old Lady Wang would rather let her granddaughter marry a divorced man and be supported by someone than let her marry that poor guy. But Xiao Manxue's threat was like a thorn in her back. If she didn't marry that man, Wang Yuanyuan would be sent to jail. This made Old Lady Wang beat her chest and stamp her feet in anger.
"How can I save her? What do you want me to do?" Wang Meixia said in a cold tone. "If you don't want to get married, then go to jail. Kidnapping is not a minor crime. You might even get the death penalty. You choose for yourself."
After saying that, Wang Meixia closed her eyes. Having given birth to four children, this was the first time she had suffered such a hard time during the postpartum confinement. She didn't know how many root causes of illness she would develop. At this moment, she didn't want to care about anyone.
Hearing Wang Meixia's words, Wang Yuanyuan's crying suddenly stopped. She slumped to the ground.
"Why? Why is it like this? She is the victim. She is the one who needs to be sympathized with, isn't she?"
Wang Meixia didn't even lift her eyelids and gave Wang Yuanyuan an answer. "You also heard what the police said yesterday. Someone can prove that you lured Xiao Manxue out of the village. That man had to drag you into the water to save his own skin."
Actually, she didn't believe these words yesterday. She thought the police were just scaring them.
Hearing Wang Meixia's words, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly got up from the ground, with her hair in a mess, and ran out of the ward. "I won't marry. I'd rather die than marry."
Old Lady Wang was so scared that she quickly chased after her.
But half an hour later, Old Lady Wang came back alone. Her face was extremely ugly. She didn't catch up with Wang Yuanyuan and didn't know where she had run off to. What should she do?
Meanwhile, in the state - owned restaurant, Sun Wenbin ordered a plate of dumplings for Wang Yuanyuan. Looking at her bruised face, there was a calculating look in his eyes.
Sun Wenbin came to the city to buy rat poison. He wanted to poison that annoying dog. But unexpectedly, he met Wang Yuanyuan, with a bruised face, also coming to buy rat poison. He knew that Wang Yuanyuan was related to Xiao Mandong, so he thought he could take the opportunity to learn about Xiao Mandong from Wang Yuanyuan.
Wang Yuanyuan really didn't want to live anymore. If she had to marry that man, she might as well be dead. She didn't know how she had endured that night. From the moment she was dragged into that room, the torment had never stopped. She was really scared. Even thinking about it now, she trembled all over. She thought that if she died, it would be Xiao Mandong who forced her to do so. She also wanted to write a suicide note to tell everyone that it was Xiao Mandong who killed her. Even if she died, she wouldn't let Xiao Mandong have an easy time.
She didn't tell Sun Wenbin what she had experienced. Death was one thing, but she couldn't bring herself to say such a sordid thing.
Sun Wenbin could tell at a glance what she had been through and didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he began to gradually inquire about Xiao Mandong.
Wang Yuanyuan told him everything in detail, but none of it was what Sun Wenbin wanted to know.
Sun Wenbin saw the hatred for Xiao Mandong in Wang Yuanyuan's eyes. He thought Wang Yuanyuan was still useful.
If he could find the rest of Xiao Mandong's family, could he use them to threaten her to hand over something and also make Xiao Mandong work for them?
Normally, he should report all his actions to Old Kai, but Old Kai didn't appear often. He knew that it was Zhou Qichuan who had beaten him up yesterday. He was also afraid that Zhou Qichuan would find his trace if too much time passed, so he had to solve the problem of Xiao Mandong as soon as possible.
Sun Wenbin was quite good - looking. In fact, many female educated youths in the educated - youth spot had a crush on him. However, he kept a distance from everyone who showed affection for him, seemingly being nice to everyone.
His act of helping Xiao Manxue last time was also to project an image of a good - hearted person.
Sun Wenbin saw that Wang Yuanyuan was going to buy rat poison to commit suicide. He suddenly grabbed Wang Yuanyuan's hand, and Wang Yuanyuan was so scared that she trembled.
Wang Yuanyuan tried hard to pull her hand back, but Sun Wenbin held it even tighter. "Wang Yuanyuan, actually, I've always liked you. I don't know what you've been through with that bruised face, but you have to believe me. I'll definitely help you solve it."
Wang Yuanyuan hesitated. She didn't know if Sun Wenbin was telling the truth or not, but she knew that Sun Wenbin was her only straw of hope.
She didn't tell him about the assault. She just cried and shifted all the blame to Xiao Mandong. At the same time, she also wanted to seize Sun Wenbin's confession. She knew that her little aunt wouldn't care about her anymore. Although her grandma seemed to be very kind to her, from what her grandma said just now, she also understood that even if she didn't marry that disgusting man, her grandma would find a man with good conditions, accept a bride price, and she might even become a step - mother.
Sun Wenbin was her best choice and the only hope.
