Shen Yingxue and Zhou Ling knelt for a long time, and their knees were turning blue, especially Shen Yingxue who had been kneeling on the broken porcelain pieces. Her white and tender knees were bloody and bloody, and cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. She gritted her teeth and held on.
"It's noon. Sister, please get up and cook. Ling'er will continue to kneel." Zhao Yuan had seen enough of the excitement and touched her hungry belly and said.
Shen Yingxue raised her head suddenly, "Ling'er is still so young, she won't be able to hold on if she kneels for a long time!"
Zhou Ling's face was pale, her body was leaning precariously on Shen Yingxue, her voice was weak, "Mother..."
Shen Yingxue felt pain in her heart and held her in her arms to comfort her, "Mother is here, mother is here."
"Tsk, she dared to disobey her mother at such a young age, but you just want her to kneel for a little longer and you can't bear to let her go?"
"That's right, the loser is kneeling here, and you can come back to accompany her after cooking!"
Zhou's mother-in-law has a mean temperament, and now Zhou Shui'an doesn't care about Shen Yingxue's mother and daughter, so she just allows herself to tease them as she pleases.
Shen Yingxue was trembling with anger. She followed her filial piety and did not dare to disobey Zhou's mother for fear of smearing the Shen family's reputation. But her daughter had done something wrong and to be tortured like this, Shen Yingxue's usually gentle heart became violent for no reason. She stood up suddenly and pulled Zhou Ling up. The severe pain in her knees almost made her unable to stand still. She shook her body and managed to hold on.
"Ling'er help me light the fire..."
After saying that, she pulled Zhou Ling out and Zhou's mother was so angry that she pointed at her back and cursed.
"You bitch, you still dare to make me lose your temper and make you kneel down. It will be an advantage for you. Be careful, I will let Anzi divorce you, a bitch!"
Zhou's mother was confident and felt that Shen Yingxue would not be able to leave the Zhou family if she came back obediently. However, she did not know that all the affection in Shen Yingxue's heart had long since disappeared in the process.
"Okay, let him divorce me!" This way she could still be freed.
Shen Yingxue was heartbroken. Ever since she saw Zhou Shui'an's true face, she only felt regret.
Zhou's mother saw that she didn't seem to be trying to be brave, so she hesitated and said, "Just wait, Anzi will divorce you when she comes back!"
"Ha..." Shen Yingxue smiled sadly, and Zhou Ling held her hand tightly as if to convey strength.
"What did mother say? Shen gave birth to a daughter for me, how could I divorce her?" Zhou Shui'an heard Zhou's mother's words as soon as he walked in. He was afraid that Shen Yingxue would believe her and refute her quickly.
"Anzi, this bitch..." Zhou's mother wanted to continue scolding, but Zhou Shui'an's eyes stopped her. He turned around and said to Shen Yingxue with a smile.
"You go cook first, and I'll explain to my mother here."
Shen Yingxue glanced at him without saying a word, and pulled Zhou Ling out. The injury on her knee was so heartbreaking that she was limping, but Zhou Shui'an showed no sign. Shen Yingxue's heart was completely cold.
Zhou Shui'an didn't speak until she went out.
"Mom, the Shen family is not what it used to be. In the future, my son will still want to rely on Shen Yan to gain an official position. Shen cannot give up."
"Hmph, I think you are fascinated by that foxy girl and can't bear to let her go!" Zhou's mother glared at him and took Zhao Yuan's hand.
"In my mother's heart, Ayuan is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. You can't be sorry to her now that she's pregnant."
"Don't worry, mother, I only have A-Yuan in my heart now. When Shen has no use value anymore, my son will divorce her!"
"Well, that's pretty much it." Zhou's mother was satisfied. Zhao Yuan lowered her head and pretended to be shy. In fact, she was already full of calculations.
Zhou Shui'an's desire to get close to Shen Yanqing was just wishful thinking in her opinion. The Shen family didn't give him any face at the brain wedding before, and they wouldn't let him be an official in the future. Now he might as well ask for the snack recipe from Shen Yingxue's mouth. Come here and earn more money to use as a family property for the son in her belly.
Zhao Yuan told Zhou Shui'an her idea. Zhou Shui'an hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen doesn't want to say it, so we can't force her."
Zhou Shui'an also wanted to make money in his heart, but Shen Yingxue was stubborn and couldn't be pried away. There was nothing he could do to her.
"Everyone has a weakness. My sister loves Ling'er the most. If my husband is so cruel as to threaten her with Ling'er, are he still afraid that my sister won't give in?"
Zhao Yuan has a vicious mind and will do anything to achieve her goals. Zhou Shui'an has been bewitched by her for a long time and he actually followed her advice.
"You are right. With Ling'er, Mrs. Shen will definitely reveal the recipe."
The two plotted for a long time, and Zhou Shui'an went out for a while. When he came back, his eyes flashed with success, and he handed the key in his hand to Zhao Yuan.
"Already locked up."
"My husband is still very nimble in his work," Zhao Yuan complimented with a smile. Zhou Shui and Anre held her in his arms, and the two of them were intimate in the room for a long time.
Zhou Ling was locked in the firewood shed by Zhou Shui'an. The small space was dark and there were rats scurrying under her feet. She was already in a daze, but now she collapsed.
"Mom, let me out. Mom, come and save Ling'er!"
Her voice was sharp, and Shen Yingxue ran out of the kitchen and slammed the door of the woodshed.
"How did you get in? Who locked the door?" Shen Yingxue was anxious and picked the lock with her hands.
"It's daddy," Zhou Ling shrank and shivered, her tears blurred.
"Mom, I'm afraid..."
Shen Yingxue was poured cold water on her heart. She never thought that Zhou Shui'an was so insane that he even tortured his daughter.
"Don't be afraid, Ling'er. Mom will save you right now." She tried her best to hit the door, and her already injured and weak body was even dizzy.
"Sister, I advise you not to waste your efforts. If you want Ling'er to come out, quickly hand over the snack recipe, otherwise both you mother and daughter will suffer."
Zhao Yuan and Zhou Shui'an came out of the room and stood aside to watch the joke. Shen Yingxue's eyes were bloodthirsty red, looking at them as if they were enemies.
"Ms. sir, I'm afraid, my sister won't want to kill me..." Zhao Yuan pretended to nest in Zhou Shui'an's arms, but Zhou Shui'an followed her example and scolded Shen Yingxue angrily with a cold face.
"You vicious woman, don't even think about harming A Yuan. Hand over the prescription quickly, otherwise Ling'er will always be locked up in the woodshed!"
"Ling'er is your daughter. Tiger poison doesn't even eat its own children. Why are you so cruel..."
Shen Yingxue's voice was hoarse, she was dizzy and almost couldn't stand. The Zhou family was a wolf's den, and this family was ruthless.
"Ling'er is my daughter, and she belongs to the Zhou family. If you want to think about her, please hand over the recipe quickly!"
Zhou Shui'an was impatient to chat with her, he just wanted to get the prescription.
Zhou Ling's voice in the woodshed gradually became weaker, "Mom, help me out, Ling'er is afraid, mother..."
Shen Yingxue was heartbroken when she heard this. She dug her nails into her palms and couldn't bear to listen to her daughter's cries.
