I returned home.

Grandpa was watching a video on his phone, his face looking extremely terrible, all red from anger.

I already knew what was going on and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Grandpa held up his phone to me, angrily saying, "Your mother-in-law was deceived! She went to northern Myanmar not to earn money, but clearly to get beaten up!"

"This human trafficker sent a video of your mother-in-law being beaten over, and even demanded money from me to rescue her. It's really despicable!"

In the video, my mother-in-law's clothes were all stripped off.

Her skin was covered with bruises, her old face no longer recognizable, all swollen and bruised.

I pretended to be alarmed and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't my mother-in-law making big money in northern Myanmar? How did she end up looking like this?"

"This Dajiang guy is deceiving me!"

Grandpa put away his phone and immediately pulled me out, saying, "Let's go find Dajiang, my wife was taken there by him, he must explain to me!"

Grandpa is the head of the village, Dajiang naturally cannot afford to offend him.

He shook his head and sighed, "This is not my fault. After going to northern Myanmar, your mother decided she didn't want to work as a waitress anymore, so she left me and went to find a more profitable job. Who knew she would run into an armed snakehead. Sigh!"

"This foolish wife!"

After scolding once, Grandpa said, "Dajiang, you are also like my own child. Help me out now, bring back your mother, okay?"

Dajiang pretended to hesitate, "Bring her back? Well...it's not impossible, it's just that your mother is with someone else now. If I can have some money to arrange things, I can do it."

Grandpa got angry, "What? More money? She went to northern Myanmar, didn't earn me a penny, and now she wants me to pay for her rescue?"

But after a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Dajiang, how much money?"

Dajiang held out five fingers.

"Five hundred yuan?"

Grandpa furrowed his brow, "Why so much?"

Dajiang shook his head, "Not five hundred."

"Then how much?"

Grandpa's brow furrowed even tighter, his tone even more displeased, "Is it five thousand?"

"It's fifty thousand!"

Dajiang coughed and said, "The boss in northern Myanmar is not easy to deal with, the minimum is fifty thousand. Oh, Village Chief, you need to think carefully, your wife is suffering there!"

Grandpa looked hesitant.

At this moment, there came another video call from my mother-in-law, her speech slurred, "Quick...save me..."

Grandpa remained silent for a while, then suddenly hung up the phone.

I couldn't help but sneer, "Dad, you always considered yourself a saint, are you now asking for money instead of saving your own wife?"

My words hit Grandpa's thoughts.

His face turned red, wanting to slap me, but hesitated as Dajiang was present and did not act.

He just coughed and said, "We need to discuss this with Zhuzi."

And so, Grandpa and I returned home.

After searching for a while, Grandpa did not find Dajiang.

He was puzzled, "What's going on? Normally, Zhuzi would just be lying in bed playing with his phone, how come he's disappeared now?"

Until nightfall, Zhuzi still did not show up.

Grandpa felt that Zhuzi must have had an accident, so he drummed and called on the village to go find his son.

However, ever since his affair with Niudasen was exposed, everyone in the village only looked at him with disgust and disdain.

There was no choice, Grandpa could only take me and search all over the mountains.

In the end, he actually found Zhuzi in the water ditch below the high slope, his legs stuck in the roots, already paralyzed.

Zhuzi was unrecognizable, speaking unclearly, "It's Dajiang, he...he harmed me!"

Grandpa and I half dragged, half carried Zhuzi back home.

Then, he angrily kicked open Dajiang's door, saying, "I finally understand now, you couldn't cheat me out of five thousand yuan, so you injured my son, right!"

Dajiang didn't waste any words, directly picking up a kitchen knife and throwing it at Grandpa, saying, "I didn't push him, if you dare to blame me, I can do anything!"

The knife hit Grandpa's foot, scaring him so much that he almost wet himself, repeatedly promising Dajiang, "I won't say anything, just spare my life!"

Only then did Dajiang let him go.

I continued to take care of my husband and father-in-law as usual, giving my all.

But my husband's health deteriorated, the injured part turning black and rotten, lying in bed every day screaming in pain.

Grandpa, having been poisoned by me and also having injured his foot, became weaker in anger, as if he could die at any moment.

At this time, another video call came in from northern Myanmar, constantly urging for money.

In the video, my mother-in-law was tortured beyond recognition, shouting hoarsely, "Zhuzi, save me, come and rescue me, can't earn money here, there are only men here, they are...they are harming me!"

"Let Zhuzi take you back home?"

I dragged my husband over, looking at my mother-in-law, and slapped him, "Your beloved Zhuzi has injured his leg and can't save you anymore!"

My husband was already beaten black and blue by me, begging on the ground like a dead dog.

Then, I glanced at Grandpa, "Mom, do you want Dad to save you?"

Grandpa was already covered in wounds from my torture, trembling with fear when he saw me.

He waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't save...don't save this wife."

I kindly asked, "Mom, are you having a good time where you are?"

In the video, my mother-in-law's clothes were torn and tattered, surrounded by sixty or seventy-year-old men.

She looked terrified, shouting and cursing at me, "You wicked woman, when I go back, I will definitely kill you!"

Then, the video turned to show the face of a dark-skinned man, speaking in a somewhat non-standard Mandarin, "Quickly send money over, otherwise, this old woman will die!"

"It's impossible to send money over."

I smiled and said, "My mom loves having sons, you guys should work harder to impregnate her and have more kids."

My mother-in-law's piercing screams came through on the video, "Let me die! I don't want to stay here, let me die!"

At this moment, my mother-in-law was being humiliated.

While Grandpa and my husband were kneeling in front of me, begging incessantly.

My vengeful heart was greatly satisfied.
