What happened was just as Lin Sheng had guessed: that winter, Mrs. Lin, who was only 13 years old at the time, was sent by her family to fetch water before dawn. She was caught red-handed by an old bachelor from the neighboring village who had been lurking there for a long time and dragged into the woods.

Just as her face was filled with despair, a young man dropped from the sky, shouting at her to run away, while fighting with the abuser who was obviously much stronger.

Mrs. Lin, who didn't even see who her savior was at the time, was only concerned with escaping. She didn't dare tell her family what had happened when she returned, for fear that her stepmother, who scolded her for being a freeloader every day, would send her directly to the old bachelor's house.

It was one day when she was listening to the villagers' gossip that she vaguely felt that the disfigured and crippled youngest son of the Li family should be her savior.

From beginning to end, only the two of them were still alive and knew about this matter. As for the old bachelor...neither of them mentioned him, and no one in the village saw him hanging around again. Anyway, that man was not a good person, so they all thought he had died accidentally in some remote mountain area.

At this time, Lin Sheng's eyes were cloudy and he was as thin as a skeleton. It was obvious that Mrs. Lin, who didn't have much time left, was still confused.

She hesitated for a few seconds before asking the man, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Li Laoyao sighed, walked forward and wiped the sweat off the woman's head with a handkerchief before replying: "You may not believe what I said, but your sister-in-law must have offended something dirty. When she told me before that something was bothering her, I thought she was too tired and had a madness. Now it seems..."

In fact, this happened some time ago. A month ago, Mrs. Lin suddenly felt severe pain all over her body. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked Xiao Dandan to go to the next door and ask Grandma Li to help find a barefoot doctor.

The barefoot doctor was a relative of the doctor, so of course he couldn't see anything. In the end, he just gave the patient a few painkillers and left it at that.

Like those poor families in the village, I can't even take a few dollars out of my pocket. It's impossible for me to go to the city hospital for treatment in this life. It really proves the saying that if you have minor illnesses, you have to endure it, but if you have serious illnesses, you have to wait for death.

It was okay at the beginning, and taking some painkillers could relieve the pain a little. Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious after a while.

The physical pain was secondary and could be endured by gritting one's teeth. The most horrifying thing was that Mrs. Lin discovered that it seemed as if another person was replacing her.

“???” Lin Sheng’s eyes widened in shock! What possessed him?

Li Laoyao continued: "She initially thought that she had just lost her memory of that period due to coma, but when she woke up, she found that her little egg had been beaten to a pulp by her..."

Afterwards, I learned from the little guy that after his mother fell asleep, he would play quietly in the yard by himself.

Unexpectedly, his mother woke up very soon, and before he could run over to act cute, he was picked up and beaten half to death. If Uncle Li had not heard his cry and arrived in time, he would have been beaten to death that day.

The little guy even swore that the person was not his mother and that his mother would not look at him in that way.

"Later, your sister-in-law was afraid that this kind of thing would happen again, so she asked me to tie her up here."

This is the thatched hut where the old couple of the Lin family lived when they first got married. Later, through their own efforts, they moved into a brick house, and this thatched hut became their usual place to store sundries.
