But she hadn’t expected the situation to escalate.
Initially, it was just gang fights, and when he ca ho, at most he had a black eye and a bruised face. Later, it beca more serious, often with knife wounds all over.
This made Wang Feng realize that things couldn’t go on like this.
Otherwise, sooner or later, sothing big would happen.
So when the child was still young, she had a formal "negotiation" with him.
"I told him then, either we get a divorce, and I take the child and leave, or he finds a proper job."
Wang Feng’s voice was sowhat hoarse.
This was the first ti since Mu Yunchu entered this room that she calmly and proactively recounted her story.
"I won this ti."
This was one of the few things from Wang Feng’s past worth discussing.
And probably because of this, she took the initiative to talk to Mu Yunchu about it.
"He said he would quit and then find a decent job."
"For the child’s sake and also for mine."
Even after so long, she still rembered the expression on his face when he said those words.
"But he didn’t do it." Mu Yunchu didn’t give her any more ti to reminisce about the situation then, bluntly tearing open her wound.
Wang Feng bitterly bit her lip and said nothing more.
Mu Yunchu was entirely correct in what she said.
She didn’t even have a chance to refute.
Involuntarily, she looked up at her, and Mu Yunchu’s hollow, lifeless eyes seed to see right through her.
Making her feel like she had nowhere to hide.
"Yes, he didn’t do it."
It was only a few years.
No, this was the ti she discovered, the undiscovered ti might be longer.
Or maybe, from the beginning, he never quit.
Wang Feng always had this suspicion in her heart, but she didn’t dare to dwell on it.
Now Mu Yunchu brought it up again, forcing her to face her wound.
It’s just to say that he hid it too well.
Every morning, leaving a bit past 7:00, getting ho by 6:00 PM while still bringing back her lovingly prepared breakfast. It was exactly like leading a nine-to-five life, with no sign of anything amiss.
Also, Wang Feng had never suspected he might be deceiving her, so she never thought in that direction.
The reason his lie was exposed was by accident.
One day she went out to buy groceries.
Originally, at that ti, she would never go out. But the child suddenly cried and wailed, wanting to eat lotus root pork rib soup.
By then, her child was already five years old and could eat normal adult food.
This pork rib soup was made by the man once for his child.
After eating it, the child was very happy and rembered the taste strongly.
Wang Feng had to admit that the man was still good to the child.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood.
Saying he didn’t care or love was impossible.
It’s still the sa phrase, if he could have honestly found a decent job and not mingled with the gangs every day, they wouldn’t have ended up in that situation.
The child wanted to eat lotus root pork rib soup, but Wang Feng said she couldn’t reach that man.
Five years old is the age of the elderly.
But actually, later on, when Wang Feng carefully thought about it, she felt everything was predestined.
Maybe it was because even the heavens couldn’t bear it any longer, that she herself had been deceived all along, kept in the dark, so this happened.
After leaving the child at ho, Wang Feng went out alone to buy groceries.
The place where they lived was very close to the market, if it were farther away, she couldn’t be assured of leaving the child at ho alone.
But unexpectedly, despite being so close, things still happened.
With the mindset of leaving quickly and returning quickly, Wang Feng hurriedly took the keys and left ho.
She didn’t even realize she forgot to turn off the gas.
At this point, the rest is predictable. On the way to buying groceries, Wang Feng directly witnessed her husband fighting in a gang.
She saw her husband raise the knife and slash the other man’s thigh hard.
At that mont, blood flowed directly, looking shocking.
After having lived a peaceful life, Wang Feng couldn’t deny she was scared when she saw this scene.
She even began to imagine, what if the knife had been slashed on her husband’s leg?
Wang Feng didn’t dare to think any further.
Fear and anger tornted her constantly.
She couldn’t bear to stay in that space for even a mont longer.
With the newly bought lotus root and pork ribs, she turned her head and headed ho.
All the way, she edited and deleted the text ssage she was going to send to her husband over and over.
She was afraid that he might get hurt because of the ssage alert and not notice other people’s attacks.
And filled with anger, having no outlet, she was unwilling to just give up like that.
Just when she finally worded it correctly and was about to send it, she suddenly realized she was standing inside the residential complex.
Old neighborhoods could be easily accessed.
But even so, before that day, Wang Feng had never seen so many people gathering downstairs of the apartnt.
And each of them looked tense, as if they were worried about sothing.
It was then that Wang Feng noticed that the courtyard was not only filled with people but also several fire trucks.
Which family’s house caught fire?
The first thought that ca to her mind was this.
But for so reason, her heart started racing inexplicably.
Along with that, her steps beca very urgent.
As she moved forward, the crowd beca more apparent.
The ominous feeling in her heart started to confirm gradually.
Because all those people were standing under her apartnt building.
So of them were neighbors she usually got along with.
When they saw her coming, their expressions beca even stranger.
Surprised and full of compassion.
"Feng, don’t be too sad, what’s happened is..."
"Yes, you, must stay strong, don’t fall because of this."
...
"What are you talking about?"
"What happened?"
Although Wang Feng had a premonition in her heart, she still held a glimr of hope.
But no matter how she asked, those people mumbled their replies, showing an expression of wanting to speak but holding back, unable to say anything.
"What exactly happened? Why don’t you tell ?"
As her ntal defenses gradually collapsed, she couldn’t endure any longer and planned to go and see for herself.
But at that mont, several firefighters in uniform ca up to her and uttered words she would never forget.
"Hello, do you have a five-year-old child?"
When her child was ntioned, Wang Feng turned pale instantly.
"An explosion caused by a gas leak..."
Wang Feng couldn’t hear a single word after that.
She only felt a loud "boom" in her head, then her whole body’s strength was drained, and she fainted.
