Jiang Zhengrong had been paying attention to Yu Zhi and it was quite surprising to see her persist until the end of the exam. After all, her appearance did not seem like someone who could endure hardship and suffering.
The teacher urged the examinees to submit their test papers and Yu Zhi let out a sigh. She struggled to get up while holding the table for support.
Jiang Zhengrong was a responsible and kind-hearted teacher. Seeing her like this, she came to inquire whether Yu Zhi needed someone to take her to the hospital.
Yu Zhi smiled and politely declined. In her previous life, she fainted during the exam and was sent to the hospital, but she didn’t know who sent her.
Later, when she was imprisoned and tortured by her cousin and mocked by her so-called best friend, she learned that it was her husband. At that moment, she realized that he was also there.
“Thank you, teacher. My husband is outside and he will take me there.”
“Good, then hurry up and go. You’re sick so don’t delay it anymore.”
Yu Zhi nodded and struggled to walk out. After finishing the exam, her abdominal pain intensified and every step she took was agonizing.
After leaving the classroom, she leaned weakly against the corner of the wall, using her last consciousness to look at the pedestrians coming and going, hoping that the man could find her quickly.
However, Yu Zhi was not very lucky. The first one to arrive was not her husband, but her so-called best friend, Cui Xue, who was sweet-tongued and cunning.
Cui Xue’s eyes flashed with a cold smile as she saw Yu Zhi’s appearance. In an instant, she showed an exaggerated concern. “Oh no, Zhizhi, what’s wrong with you? Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me quickly.”
She reached out to touch Yu Zhi and pressed everywhere on her body, putting more strength intentionally. When she pressed on Yu Zhi’s abdomen, the ruthlessness in her eyes was terrifying.
Yu Zhi almost fainted from the pain, but her hatred kept her awake for the last time. Her gaze was illusory while looking at Cui Xue.
She had intended to use her gaze to lynch this poisonous woman, but she didn’t realize that she was so weak and couldn’t even show hatred in her eyes. When she looked at Cui Xue, she could only express weakness.
Cui Xue looked at Yu Zhi’s weak and painful appearance and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
When her gaze fell on Yu Zhi’s delicate and tender face that would always captivate men, she became jealous and pressed on her even harder.
“Zhizhi, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”
While shouting exaggeratedly a few times, she would glance at the thugs outside the gate who often wandered on the street. With a cold smile, she said, “Zhizhi, don’t be afraid. I’ll find someone to take you to the hospital right away.”
Cui Xue used the movement of getting up to press on Yu Zhi’s abdomen fiercely.
Yu Zhi groaned in pain and had a moment of clarity.
She saw that the people Cui Xue was looking at were the thugs.
Suddenly, she was so angry that her breathing became rapid and she was about to faint.
But she didn’t have the strength to speak, so how could she even resist?
Cui Xue had already called the thugs over and Yu Zhi became more and more anxious. She started to lose consciousness.
“Who the hell dares to touch my woman? I’ll chop him off!” Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Zhi almost burst into tears and stopped insisting, she fainted with relief.
When she woke up again, she saw a mottled ceiling above and felt a slight pain in her abdomen.
Yu Zhi was in a daze, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling a bit confused not knowing what day it was.
A big, dark, and rough face leaned in, with copper bell-like eyes staring at her without blinking.
There was clearly worry, patience, and love in them. But she used to see it as a fierce and malicious stare, with ill intentions. Am I blind?
Tears flowed silently down the corner of her eyes. Yu Zhi felt sad and regretful for her foolishness. For ten years, she tortured herself and even more so her family. Did someone pinch my brain?
Sang Dazhuang slapped his palm with a palm leaf hand fan, then immediately clenched his fists. Disappointment and pain flashed through his eyes. He stifled his voice and said, “Don’t cry. I’ll leave right away. The medicine and congee are at the bedside, be sure to eat and take your medicine.”
He had a thick voice that sounded weird when he deliberately stifled it.
Yu Zhi previously scolded him for having a loud voice and calling him rude, so every time he spoke to her, Sang Dazhuang would instinctively stifle his voice.

When you were not satisfied with someone, even if they risked their life, you would still feel disgusted.
Yu Zhi said that the man who spoke with a stifled voice was pretentious. He was like a country bumpkin trying to imitate the cultured people in the city and was shameless.
At that time, Yu Zhi did not pay attention to the man’s feelings and facial expressions. In retrospect, he was full of sadness and helplessness, but he had to endure it for her, pretending not to care, which made her heart ache.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi’s tears flowed even more violently.
Sang Dazhuang pursed his lips in silence and his firm and thick back silently bent down.
Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Yu Zhi suddenly turned over, not realizing she was on an IV drip, so there was a backflow of blood and the infusion tube was stained red.
But she didn’t care at all. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Sang Dazhuang’s coat tightly. She asked him while crying, “Where are you going? Where are you going and why do you want to leave me? Sang Dazhuang, you’re an asshole! Why are you leaving me behind? Why are you leaving? You said you wouldn’t leave me. You lied to me! Why did you lie to me…”
Sang Dazhuang was at a loss by Yu Zhi’s sudden reaction. Seeing her blood flowing back—even though he was tall, strong, and dark, like a black bear—he was so scared that his eyes turned red. He shivered as he spoke, “Zhi… Zhi… Blood… Don’t move… I… I…”
“Don’t touch me!” Yu Zhi cried out. Sang Dazhuang’s hand, which reached for the infusion tube, froze instantly and there was a hint of hurt in his eyes.
Yu Zhi cried continuously, her eyes turned red and her face was full of tears. She stared at Sang Dazhuang and said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Why aren’t you paying attention to me? You don’t even touch me anymore? Sang Dazhuang, do you not want me anymore? Are you going to ignore me now?”
Sang Dazhuang was so aggrieved that he stuttered, “No, no, no… Well, it’s not like that…” You won’t let me touch you.
“Are you blaming me?” Yu Zhi looked at Sang Dazhuang in disbelief with tears falling one after another on the bedsheet, and the yellowing bedsheet showed some wet patches.
As if Sang Dazhuang had done something infuriating, Yu Zhi went from silently shedding tears to bawling. “You’re blaming me! I knew it, you’re blaming me. You don’t want me anymore. You don’t want me anymore! How could you not want me? Why don’t you want me? You’re a big liar, you don’t keep your word. Sang Dazhuang, you’re an asshole, a big asshole!”
Yu Zhi gave a profound interpretation of what it means to be unreasonable.
Sang Dazhuang was already an adult, but now, he was so anxious that he couldn’t say a word. He didn’t feel wrong. He just didn’t know what he did to make his wife so angry.
“What’s wrong? Oh my god, what’s wrong?” The voice came first before the person arrived
It was Sang Dazhuang’s mother, Wang Xinfeng, and the members of the Gubai Village all call her Widow Wang.
Widow Wang was tall, thin, and not good-looking when she was young. Her facial features were sharp and angular, exuding a strong sense of heroism. After getting old, she appeared to be more masculine.
This widowed mother fled with her posthumous son and settled in Gubai Village for over twenty years. They had fully integrated into this small mountain village.
There was much gossip about a widow and even if Widow Wang had a masculine appearance, she still attracted many bachelors when she was young.
At that time, Wang Xinfeng almost chopped off the hand of an old bachelor with a chipped kitchen knife, which broke the hearts of all the bachelors and made her famous in the Gubai Village.
Later, with her hot temper, foul mouth, and impetuous way of doing things, she eventually became a tyrant in the Gubai Village.
Under the guidance of his widowed mother, Sang Dazhuang did work honestly, was aggressive and fond of fighting, was lazy to do things, irritable and easily attracted to trouble, and would beat anyone regardless of gender, age, or even pregnancy. He was like a gang leader in the village and the surrounding villages.
The mother and son successfully became the existence no one dared to provoke or associate with in Gubai Village. This was also one of the reasons why Yu Zhi hated and loathed them in her past life. She felt ashamed.
