Every time I think of being abused at home, I tremble all over.

On the gas stove in the kitchen, there is a high-pressure cooker, the safety valve is turning, making a hissing sound.

I picked up the concealer cushion, patted it on the bruises on my face, it's been several days, but the injuries are still very obvious.

I vividly remember how each injury on my body happened.

The cracked corner of my mouth, he hit with his fist;

The bloody cut on my forehead, he held my head down and knocked it on the bathtub faucet;

The fingerprint on my cheek, he slapped me;

The red mark on my neck, he strangled me with a belt;

The scar on my stomach, he carved it with a knife before for the other woman.

Now, if I breathe a little heavier, my ribs hurt.

My mother didn't agree with me marrying Xue Ze at first, she said he was too handsome, too smooth-talking, not very reliable, afraid he wasn't a good man.

I didn't listen, I wanted to get married.

I didn't expect to marry not love, but a grave.

I sighed, oh, I forgot to put star anise in the pressure cooker.

I looked at myself in the mirror, very satisfied with today's makeup, matte finish, purple smokey eyes, looking very stylish.

I got up and walked towards the kitchen to release the pressure from the pressure cooker.

Just as I opened the lid, a rich and enticing meat fragrance rushed towards me, the glutton in my stomach also grumbled.

I quickly scooped a bowl of soup into a bowl, picked a few pieces of tender meat, and made a garlic dipping sauce.

Just about to drink the soup, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Shen Baihe, open the door!"

It was my mother-in-law's voice, she had already come four times this week, and I had never opened the door for her.

"Shen Baihe, stop pretending, I know you're at home! Open the door, I brought the police!"

"If you don't open the door, I'll have someone break the lock!"

My heart tightened, did the old lady actually call the police?

At this moment, a deep and powerful male voice sounded: "Miss Shen, hello, I am Xu Yanping, a police officer from our district police station, can you please open the door?"

I hurried over and looked through the peephole, there were several people outside.

In addition to the old lady and her daughter, there were two police officers in uniform and a man carrying tools.

The old lady pounded on the door with her fist, her face red and her neck thick as she cursed at me, she signaled to the man with tools: "Break the door, this is my son's house, I can take legal responsibility."

The police quickly intervened, saying that no matter whose house it was, this was illegal.

I was extremely anxious, knowing the temper of the old lady, she would definitely break the door today.

With that in mind, I opened the door, respectfully saying to the old lady, "Mom, you're here."

The old lady glared at me, "Where's my son?"

I picked up the bowl, took a sniff, and smiled sweetly, "Mom, freshly cooked meat soup, the meat is stewed soft and flavorful, would you like some?"
