70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Fortunately, my eldest sister Lu Shuizhi married into the family of Chen Qingshan, the branch secretary of the next brigade, and their living conditions were pretty good.

Although their brigade is located in the mountains and does not have many fields, they have a profitable sideline business: raising silkworms.

Their Golden Silkworm Brigade raises more than ten times more silkworms than the Lianshan Brigade where the original owner was.

Because the mountains are hidden, the team raises a lot of livestock. Chickens, ducks and geese are raised in the mulberry forest. They eat insects and fruits and don't waste food.

The life of the entire brigade is better than that of other brigades.

As the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, the eldest sister of the Lu family lives a very comfortable life.

In the early years, the couple often helped their mother and younger siblings.

She has never returned home since the miscarriage.

If there was something delicious at home, she would ask someone to call her younger brothers and sisters to her house to eat.

The second sister Lu Yuedan was pitiful. She originally had a good boyfriend who was from the same brigade and lived next to the reservoir that Secretary Si was building.

His ancestor was a chef and had a good time. Later, his partner's parents passed away, and he and his two younger siblings had to live in poverty.

At the instigation of Gu Suyi, Liu Zhibai broke off the engagement and married Lu Yuedan to Lu Zhixiang, the brother-in-law of the logistics director of the county silk reeling factory.

A quota for an apprenticeship in a silk reeling factory was exchanged for Gu Suyi's second son Tao Jin.

Not only is Lu Zhixiang a generation older than Lu Yuedan, he is also shorter, less than 1.6 meters tall.

It is chubby, has protruding teeth, a three-lobed mouth, and is extremely ugly.

Lu Erjie had been married to him for more than two years and had two daughters.

At first, Lu Zhixiang protected Lu Erjie because of her appearance, but he changed after giving birth to his eldest daughter.

He often beat and scolded her, and even accused her of cheating on him.

It wasn't until his second daughter came along that he lost all his love for her and began to engage in brutal domestic violence.

Neither Lu Xiang nor the original owner knew about this. It was the memory of Lu Erjie who turned evil in the later part of the book.

The reason why Lu Chaoyan was so anxious to take her home was because something big would happen soon that would ruin Lu Erjie's life.

Lu's mother believed the slander of her eldest son-in-law and wanted to send Lu Erjie to his bed, asking him to give birth to her son and continue the family line.

After being bullied by Lu Zhixiang's brother-in-law, Lu Erjie killed him in anger and spent twenty years in prison.

After she came out, she found that all her close relatives were dead except her eldest sister's family. She went crazy and looked for revenge on Liu Zhibai and Gu Suyi's family.

In the end he died tragically.

Lu Chaoyan wiped away Lu Yuedan's tears and said, "I'll take you home."

"go home?"

Lu Yuedan smiled bitterly. Her father only had eyes for her aunt's family, and her mother only had eyes for her father. What would happen if she went home? They would still send her back and beat her even more severely.

"Little hoof, you dare to hit me!"

Mother Lu got up from the ground, picked up the chair beside her, and smashed it on Lu Chaoyan's head.

Seeing this, Lu Yuedan turned around and hugged her sister in her arms.

When Lu's mother was about to fall, Lu Chaoyan turned around, pulled her second sister away, raised her foot, and kicked Lu's mother hard in the stomach, then took the chair and hit her mother on the back.

Then, she picked up Lu Yuanyuan, carried her into Lu Yuedan's bedroom, and closed the door.

Then, he went into the room where the Lu family made clothes for others, took out a long piece of cloth, tied up Lu's mother's hands, hung her on the beam under the eaves, stuffed her mouth, and beat her with a sandbag.

He hit Lu's mother hard again and again until blood came out of the corners of her mouth. She looked terrified and begged for mercy silently: "Stop hitting me, please stop."

Lu Yuedan was also frightened and whispered: "Chao Yan, stop it, Lu Zhixiang will beat us to death when he comes back."

"Don't be afraid. Once we kill this vicious woman, we'll chop her up and make meat buns and steam them for her son to eat."

Lu Chaoyan said harsh words but did not stop his hands, as if he was really ready to beat the man to death.

When Lu's mother saw her, she beat her fiercely and was so scared that she shit and peed herself.

Stop hitting me, I was wrong. I will never dare to hit your second sister again. Please forgive me.

"Second sister, remember, if you are weak, others will only bully you. From now on, no matter who it is, if she hits you once, you must hit her ten times. You must not be soft-hearted."

Lu Chaoyan threw another punch, hitting Lu's mother hard on the heart, causing her to roll her eyes in pain.

The neighbors on both sides heard her groaning and shook their heads in disdain.

"This old Lu family is beating their daughter-in-law again. How heartless!"

"Yuedan, such a well-behaved and beautiful girl, has been in their family for less than three years, and you see how she has been tortured."

They were also family members of the silk reeling factory workers. Even though they felt pity for Lu Yuedan, they did not want to offend the Lu family.

They are afraid that their son-in-law and daughter will make things difficult for their family.

Seeing that Lu's mother was dying, Lu Yuedan was afraid that someone would die, so she hugged Lu Chaoyan's arm tightly and begged.

"Third sister, please stop beating her. If you kill her, we will go to jail. How will mother, elder sister and younger brother survive?"

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. The police will only arrest her when they come." Lu Chaoyan untied Lu's mother and pulled her to the water tank in the corner. "Hurry up and wash yourself and come in. I have something to say."

Mother Lu's lips trembled in pain. She wanted to escape but there was no way she could do so. She could only follow Lu Chaoyan's instructions and wash herself obediently.

Lu Chaoyan pulled Lu Yuedan into the room where she lived. There were several dents on the cabinet door that Lu Yuedan had made when she got married.

There were still traces of blood in the wood chips.

It was obvious that this was caused by Lu Zhixiang beating Lu Erjie.

Lu Chaoyan's eyes were fierce, but she could only endure it for the time being.

She looked at the baby on the bed who was less than twenty days old. "Second sister, I'm not kidding you. I'm here to take you home. Hurry up and pick up your things."

"No, I can't go back."

Lu Yuedan shook her head. She was in confinement after childbirth and couldn't go back and bring disgrace to the family.

Besides, there was no place for her to live at home, so it would be better for her to live in Lu's house and have to wash fewer clothes.

Lu Chaoyan picked up Lu Yuanyuan. Fortunately, the little girl inherited her mother’s good looks and was pretty and well-behaved.

"I have already kicked Hu Li's family out. I went to the brigade headquarters to take care of Si Zhengyan, and his room has been vacated. Now there are two empty rooms in the house, enough for you to live in.

As for the feudal nonsense that daughters can't go back to their parents' home to recuperate after childbirth, you don't have to worry about it. It was Liu Zhibai who agreed to let me pick you up."

"Really?" Lu Yuedan's eyes lit up visibly, "Did Dad really agree?"

"Not only did you agree, you also gave me 400 yuan to support your health." Lu Chaoyan smiled.

Lu Yuedan also laughed, but her tears flowed even more violently. Her father finally remembered that he had four other children.

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

If she doesn't leave, when Lu Zhixiang comes back, I'm afraid my third sister will be beaten with her.

While wiping her tears, Lu Yuedan took out clothes for herself and her children from the closet. She also found a small cloth bag from the corner of the wall. Inside was her hidden pocket money, which amounted to 18.5 yuan and two cloth coupons.

She stuffed it into Lu Chaoyan's pocket and said, "Take it back and buy some clothes for mom."

"I bought it," Lu Chaoyan pointed at the basket behind the gate, "Hey, Aunt Lu, you want to go out?"
