Chapter 31
When the color on the child's face softened and he could cry in pain before his eyes were opened, Yao Xin's world came to life again.She heard the child's weak but clear cry, saw the ups and downs of the child's chest, and felt the breath she was holding in her chest come out smoothly.

She crawled forward on her hands and feet in the direction of the child. She could immediately touch the child and hold him in her arms for comfort.She was sure that the child would survive. She wanted to take the child to the hospital. She wanted to stay away from the devil at home.
Yao Xin's crawling movements were sluggish, and the black rubber band tied behind his head to tie his hair had long been unable to bind the messy hair, and it slipped gently from the end of the hair.The round black plastic buckle on the rubber band clattered against the floor, making a small, slight sound in the storm-beaten bedroom.

The shoulder-length hair was pulled up by a hand. Yao Xin took advantage of the tearing pain of his scalp and tried to stand up by Cao Gang's thigh, but was slapped in the face again.

Cao Gang said pitifully in her ear: "If you want to divorce me, just dream. Be your red flag for me at home. If you dare to interfere with my affairs outside, I will kill the one who has registered residence together with you."

Yao Xin was lying on the floor with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She looked desperately at the man who stood condescendingly and took out another cigarette and lit it.

When she was pregnant with Cao Ying, she was terrified of dystocia, and wanted to wear an IUD after giving birth.But Cao Gang disagreed desperately. He said that it would be uncomfortable to put a foreign object in his body, and he didn't want her to wear a ring.She thought that Cao Gang felt sorry for her and thought about her, but later she found out that it was her mother-in-law who told her to have a boy.

But when she was pregnant with her second child, something happened to Cao Gang's project. How did he persuade her? "Let's not have this child for now. Let's fight it. We can conceive it later when the conditions are better."

She thought that Cao Gang was a machismo and said one thing, because he violated the other party's will, so he ended up being often domestically abused.

But only now did she understand what a selfish and terrible person Cao Gang was.

No wonder Cao Gang didn't let her go to the hospital to give birth, and no wonder he delayed registering the child.

What kind of devil did she marry?
All the lost power returned to her body after she turned her head to look at the lifeless food.She stood up, rushed towards Cao Gang, and strangled Cao Gang's neck with her arms.

The cigarette butt fell and burned her arm, but she felt no pain.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you." The saliva in her mouth was bloodshot and came out from between her teeth.

Her efforts were easily removed by Cao Gang, still pushing with an arm, and she clung to the wall like a light fallen leaf, slowly sliding down.

It would be fine if she just stayed with Xiao Liang in the same way, she thought, her eyes falling into darkness.

The mottled mud spots on the window glass were hit by new raindrops again.Before the raindrops could gather together and wash away the dust on the glass, the wind stopped and everything returned to calm.

The rain didn't even start.

In the dark night, in the bedroom of more than ten square meters, which is as bright as day, there is thunderous snoring.

She patted and coaxed. "Xiao Liang, go to sleep, don't be afraid, mom is here."

She hummed the song Xiao Liang liked to listen to most, "Zhong Er Fei". "The stars in the sky shed tears and the roses on the ground wither. The cold wind blows. Don't be afraid of darkness."

That was the first time she knew that someone who was so sad could be so calm that she wouldn't shed tears.

Glancing at her husband who was sleeping soundly, she walked over and took away the cell phone that was still playing the dancing video in his palm.Opening the drawer of the bedside table, there was a roll of Scotch tape inside.

Yesterday, she used transparent tape to tape up the torn pages of Cao Ying’s Chinese language book.

Today, she will use this roll of tape to avenge Cao Liang.

The man who slept like a dead dog didn't realize that his limbs had been tightly wrapped and tied to the railing at the foot of the bed.The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling, perhaps having a sweet dream.

The cotton pillow with a pink and white pillowcase swung over the face and pressed it down hard.

The man's limbs finally responded, began to struggle, trembled and finally became stiff and calm.

Yao Xin gasped for air, but the strength in his hand still did not loosen.

She turned her head to look at the crib in a daze, and it took her a long time to suddenly react. Her hands bounced up as if they had been stabbed, and she retreated to the bed with a look of panic and horror.

It was like this moment when she realized that she had actually killed someone.The nightmare marriage ended and she was freed from this man's hands

Yao Xin cried.

She was crying so hard that she couldn't stop sobbing.

How she got her life to this point, she didn't know, she was confused.

She beat her depressed heart hard and murmured Xiaoliang's name.

This night seems very long.After she was tired from crying, she regained her senses and untied the man who was tied up on the bed and dragged him into the bathroom.Then he went downstairs and carried Cao Ying, who was sleeping soundly from the pile of toilet paper in the warehouse, upstairs, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.It's still dark.

She turned off the light in the bedroom and sat on the toilet seat in the bathroom with Cao Gang's cell phone.At his feet was the back of Cao Gang's head.

After looking at Cao Gang's mobile phone, I found out that he used all the family money to coax the leaders in order to resume the project.I accompanied the leader to eat, drink and have fun, but in the end everything was in vain.

Cao Gang was angry and angry, but he suppressed all his emotions and went home to vent.

Yao Xin washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror with red and swollen cheeks. She said, "Go and bear what you have to bear. Don't run away anymore. Be brave once."

If she had been brave enough to tell her parents that she did not want to stay at home to raise her younger brother, she would have continued to complete college.Perhaps, she would not have met Cao Gang and experienced all this.

So, it's time to step up and give yourself courage.

At 6:30 in the morning, Yao Xin was cooking breakfast in the kitchen as usual.

In the pan, the slices of bread and the fried eggs were on separate sides, making a sizzling sound.

Cartons of milk were thrown into a tub of hot water to heat, then poked with a straw and spread out on a folding square table in the bedroom.

Yao Xin told Cao Ying to get up and have breakfast, Cao Ying obediently dressed herself, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.However, Cao Ying ran out to inquire after seeing a humanoid foreign object covered with a bed sheet on the floor tiles of the bathroom.

"Your father drank too much. He vomited on the toilet last night and fell asleep there."

"Oh." Cao Ying brushed her front teeth and didn't ask any more questions.

After breakfast and before going out with her schoolbag on her back, Cao Ying muttered: "Why hasn't my brother woke up yet? I still want to say goodbye to him."

Yao Xin patted Cao Ying's shoulder with trembling hands. "Go and talk to your brother."

Cao Ying lay on the edge of the crib, pouting softly and saying, "Brother, I'm going to school, bye."

Yao Xin held Cao Ying's hand, and they went down the stairs one after the other.Cao Ying asked: "Mom, is your face really swollen because you drank too much water?"

"Well, I drank too much water last night."

"Mom, I will grow up quickly."

The two of them walked out of the supermarket, and Yao Xin pushed the electric car past. "Why do you want to grow up quickly?"

Cao Ying got into Yao Xin's arms and stepped on the pedals of the electric car.Her clear eyes fell on Yao Xin's exposed wrist.

There, there was an irregular oval purple bruise.
