While Yan Niannian was sizing up the girl, the girl was also looking at her.

Eyes facing each other.

Her eyes darted around.

Attracted by the radiance emanating from Yan Niannian, a strange emotion welled up within him.

But the next moment, as if she had thought of something terrible, her body trembled, and the emotional fluctuation in her eyes vanished, leaving them dull and lifeless once more.

"Let me introduce you. This is your cousin's daughter-in-law." Grandma Xiaojun looked at Yan Niannian with pride. "She's from the city and a college graduate."

"She's quite proud!"

"But look, she's married into our family now, and she got pregnant in less than three months. She's living a very prosperous life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Niannian clearly saw the girl's face turn pale and her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly.

"Marry?" Yan Niannian scoffed disdainfully.

There was nothing she couldn't understand about what she was seeing.

It seems there are quite a few beasts in this village who would devour people without spitting out the bones!

Human nature is despicable.

The pride that Xiao Jun's grandmother was showing at that moment made Yan Niannian feel even more disgusted.

"Alright, you two go inside and have a chat!"

After the old lady finished speaking, the girl hesitated and stood still.

"What are you dawdling about? Have you forgotten why your father-in-law asked you to come here?"

"Hurry up!"

Grandma Xiaojun glared at him disapprovingly.

Then, he raised his hand and shoved the girl, completely disregarding whether she was pregnant or not.

The girl stumbled.

She bit her lip and walked towards Yan Niannian.

As Yan Niannian was about to turn around, she inadvertently caught sight of the old lady, He Baoli, and Xiaojun out of the corner of her eye.

The three of them, grandmother, grandson, and granddaughter, moved in unison, all staring intently at the egg in her hand.

The scene was incredibly funny.

Seeing this, a faint sneer appeared on Yan Niannian's lips.

snort!

You want to eat the next egg, right?

They deserve it!

The moment she turned around, Yan Niannian deliberately loosened her grip.

The egg fell to the ground.

The pupils of the three people trembled.

Then, under the expectant yet shocked gazes of the three, Yan Niannian stepped directly onto it.

He crushed it with force.

The egg shattered instantly.

After doing all this, Yan Niannian and the girl went into the inner room together.

Then, Yan Niannian locked the door from the inside.

"She...she..." Grandma Xiaojun was so angry that her face turned green, and even the wrinkles on her face trembled. "Son, look at her, what kind of person is she!"

"Waste of food! Eggs are such a precious food, how can you just step on them like that?"

"What daughter-in-law is like her?!"

She clutched her chest in pain.

"Alright!" He Baoli sighed regretfully, swallowing hard. He was also very troubled, but what could he do?

He coveted Yan Niannian's beauty.

He desperately wanted to sleep with her.

But he was cowardly and wary of the axe in Yan Niannian's hand and the scissors at her waist, so he could only endure it for the time being.

"Alright, didn't Zhang Shuo's wife already come over to persuade him? What's the rush?" He Baoli said irritably and walked out.

Grandma Xiaojun felt incredibly frustrated.

With nowhere else to vent his anger, he could only habitually take it out on Xiaojun.

"You little good-for-nothing, what are you still standing there for? Clean up the floor."

"Then, I picked up the table and washed all the dishes."

"Did you hear me?"

"You've eaten so much of my food, and you're completely useless. I'd rather raise a dog than you." She started cursing and even tried to hit Xiaojun with the broom several times.

Xiao Jun trembled with fear.

Tears welled up in her eyes; she felt incredibly wronged.

But they dared not disobey, so the little one huffed and puffed as they got to work.

only……

Xiao Jun was truly heartbroken.

He suddenly felt that life was even harder and worse than before he was abducted.

And all of this is Yan Niannian's fault.

If she hadn't refused to obediently marry her father and properly serve and be filial to her grandmother, her grandmother wouldn't have been angry and vented her dissatisfaction on him.

And which woman here doesn't live a life like that?

She's so pretentious!

It's much better to stay here and cherish him than to suffer and be exhausted taking care of so many children in an orphanage.

snort!

They have good fortune but don't know how to enjoy it!

……

Outside, Xiao Jun was being cursed at continuously, but Yan Niannian remained unmoved. She calmly greeted the girl, "Sit down!"

"Mmm!" The girl nodded and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

only……

She looked reserved and nervously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.

Somewhat overwhelmed!

"Sigh!" Yan Niannian sighed silently as she looked at her profile.

I felt a pang of regret.

She should have had a bright future ahead of her, received a good education, and had a suitable job after graduation.

Enjoy the beauty of life.

But now...

Everything was ruined.

It was ruined by these despicable beasts.

"Um... um..." After hesitating for a moment, the girl bit her lip and finally spoke, "Since you're already here, marry He Baoli!"

“Live a good life.”

"I've adapted to it and it's not bad!"

After giving her a deep look, Yan Niannian asked directly and bluntly, "Are you satisfied with your life right now?"

"I……"

The girl bit her lip hard.

The force was so great that it drew blood from the corner of his lip, leaving a faint smell of blood between his lips and teeth.

His face turned even more pale and bluish-white.

Both eyes were red.

satisfaction?

These two words are now an unattainable expectation for her.

Since being abducted here, every minute and every second has been nothing but a struggle for survival for her; she lives a life worse than a dog.

Yan Niannian knew she had touched a raw nerve.

"Are you... alright?" Yan Niannian sighed softly and gently patted her shoulder.

The girl shuddered violently, her shoulders instinctively shrinking back.

His eyes showed fear.

She suffered severe psychological trauma here, and her memories are filled with intense pain and fear. She is now afraid of being touched by others.

"I'm sorry!" Yan Niannian said softly.

"I...it's okay..."

After a while, having calmed down, the girl shook her head bitterly.

"What's your name?" Yan Niannian asked gently, trying to ease the other person's emotions.

"I……"

The girl visibly paused when answering the question.

Then, in a very soft voice, she said, "My name is Xu Manyu!"

It was so soft that Yan Niannian almost didn't hear those three words clearly.

“Yes, Manyu! It’s a very nice name.” Yan Niannian nodded with a smile. “I suppose your parents must love you very much, which is why they used two such beautiful words.”

"I hope you have a wonderful, bright, and happy life."

"Right, Manyu?"

Xu Manyu's eyes reddened.

She felt a mix of emotions, pursed her lips, and replied with a heavy nasal tone, "Mmm."

She has been abducted here for nearly four months, and no one has called her name.

Not once.

They all called her "Zhang Shuo's wife" or "that woman".

She has no dignity, no human rights.

If she hadn't suddenly met Yan Niannian today, she would have almost forgotten who she was.
