Sun Qian did not dare to resist.
Both of her daughters had been sent away to study in another city.
If she left Uncle Liang Wu, she would never see those two daughters again...
Sun Qian's situation was becoming increasingly dire.
Not a single part of her body was free from injury.
Yet I couldn't help but feel a cold smile creeping into my heart.
This was just the beginning; I would not let any of those who had harmed me escape!
My period was three days late.
When Uncle Liang Wu heard that I was pregnant, he beamed with joy.
He even went around the village boasting about it.
Now I had become his trophy.
If I wanted to escape, it would not be so simple.
"Woman, you better give me a son!"
Uncle Liang Wu's face was filled with anticipation.
I could only manage a bitter smile in response.
"Uncle Wu, I'm afraid that's not possible."
"You've tried so many times before; it's already very difficult for me to get pregnant..."
Hearing my words, Uncle Liang Wu became a bit anxious.
"No way, you have to give me a son!"
Uncle Liang Wu's obsession ran deep.
If he didn't have a son, he wouldn't even think about buying a wife.
So I was certain he would take me for a check-up!
Sure enough, Uncle Liang Wu took me out.
And we headed to the hospital in the county town.
On the way, Uncle Liang Wu was extremely nervous.
"Woman, you must do your best!"
I smiled slightly but said nothing.
In truth, I was more anxious than anyone else.
After all, if I wasn't pregnant, I would be sent away.
However, when the test results came back, Uncle Liang Wu was stunned.
"Woman, how are you pregnant?"
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Wasn't that obvious?
"Uncle, let's go home first," I suggested.
Uncle Liang Wu's face was clouded with gloom.
But he didn't say much in the hospital.
The test results came back.
The child was healthy.
Uncle Liang Wu was overjoyed.
He even set up several tables in the yard for a celebration.
Now I had become a key figure under Uncle Liang Wu's protection.
At the very least, no one dared to bully me anymore.
Yet, what occupied my mind was how I could use this child to escape.
Late at night, someone knocked on my room door.
I thought it was Uncle Liang Wu, drunk and looking for trouble again.
To my surprise, it was Zhao Yue!
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
Zhao Yue looked at me with a face full of guilt.
"Woman, I want to take you away."
Hearing Zhao Yue's words, I was momentarily taken aback.
"Why?"
Zhao Yue hesitated, struggling to find the right words.
But his gaze lingered on my belly.
"Is it because I'm pregnant?"
Zhao Yue nodded, acknowledging his thoughts.
"I don't want my child to be born without a father."
Upon hearing Zhao Yue's words, I fell silent.
In the past, I would have certainly agreed with Zhao Yue's sentiment.
However, after everything that had happened, I no longer dared to trust anyone.
The situation with Sun Qian had taught me a crucial lesson.
If I wanted true freedom, I could only rely on myself!
"What do you propose we do?"
Zhao Yue spoke in a low voice:
"Tomorrow Uncle Liang Wu will be out of town delivering goods, leaving only Sun Qian at home..."
"At that time, I'll take you away..."
Hearing Zhao Yue's words, I felt a stir of emotions within me.
But thinking back to what had happened with Sun Qian, I hesitated.
"I can help you."
"But you must tell me your true intentions!"
Upon hearing my words, Zhao Yue revealed a bittersweet smile.
"Actually, there’s no grand purpose..."
"I just don’t want my child to be born without a father..."
Zhao Yue's expression was filled with sincerity.
However, after what I had experienced with Sun Qian, I could no longer trust anyone so easily!
"You should go. I'll think about it."
Zhao Yue looked at me deeply for a moment before turning to leave.
"Wait!"
At my call, Zhao Yue paused in her steps.
