Xu Qing's shouting immediately woke everyone up.

Sharp curses and curses followed one after another.

Taking advantage of the chaos, I quietly climbed out of the kitchen window,

and tiptoed into the room of the two children nearby.

Fortunately, they were still asleep, undisturbed.

I lay down beside them, ready to appear under the covers when it got hot,

creating the illusion that I had been guarding the children all along.

Outside, Xu Qinghuan's shouting was particularly sharp:

"Go and check if that bitch is in the kitchen!"

Grandma seemed to grumble and went away, then grumbled back to the courtyard:

"This bitch didn't run far. Let's search near the village. Qinghuan, take a chicken to the village chief's house and ask him for help."

Just as I was about to speak, I was firmly grabbed by the neck from behind by a rough big hand,

and couldn't make a sound.

The man immediately pressed his entire body on my back.

I felt it hard to breathe,

his inferior dry tobacco mixed with sour sweat made me suffocate even more.

"They're all gone, just the two of us." Grandpa leaned close to my ear, then pressed deeply against my neck, taking a deep breath,

"Just as I thought, so fragrant."

His restless hand wandered around.

My breathing became rapid, the strong bad breath in his mouth made me feel nauseous:

"My son is a fool, he doesn't understand many things. With me, I can make you happy."

I was about to resist, but his last sentence made me change my mind.

If I could appease him, Zhang Peng's plan would go more smoothly.

I endured the disgust, took advantage of when his hand loosened a bit, and whispered as gently as possible:

"Okay, but you're hurting me."

Grandpa's body stiffened.

I took the opportunity to climb out from his embrace, leaning against the wall, and said tenderly,

"Dad, you're getting older, and some things are beyond your strength. We are family, of course we should help each other."

In the moonlight, I saw wrinkles covering Grandpa's face, showing an expression of uncontrollable joy.

He hurriedly climbed over, muttering to himself,

"That vile woman doesn't deserve to compare to you, my dear."

The hunger in his eyes shocked me.

I just wanted to charm him, not actually satisfy him.

While he wasn't paying attention, I kicked the child hard.

The piercing cry instantly echoed through the entire house.

Grandpa instantly lost his courage to continue.

He stopped and looked at me in disappointment.

I smiled at him innocently, "Oh, little treasure doesn't really care about people. But we have a lifetime ahead of us, no rush for now."

Grandpa's eyes lit up again.

The child's crying soon brought everyone back.

Seeing me, Grandma was about to slap me, but Grandpa staggered and pushed her away.

She looked at Grandpa in surprise, "Are you crazy, begging?"

A strong sense of disgust flashed across Grandpa's face:

"Xu Qing's wife has been watching the kids here. You start hitting people without saying anything. It's unreasonable. We are family, and harmony brings prosperity."

The old wife with fading looks, irritable temper, and lack of mystery,

compared with the young, beautiful, delicate and gentle daughter-in-law who hasn't been taken yet,

who Grandpa will protect at this moment is self-evident.

Seizing the opportunity, I quickly spoke up:

"Dad is right, we are family. I was young and ignorant before. The children are so big now, you are my everything."

"By the way, Mom and Dad, let me join the New Year's Eve party next week with Qinghuan and them. I've never seen it since I got married."

As I spoke, I secretly looked at Grandpa with pleading eyes.

Sure enough, Grandpa was very pleased and waved his hand, "Go, take some money, buy whatever you like."

Before Grandma could speak, Xu Qinghuan, who had been silent, frowned and raised her voice,

"The New Year's Eve party is in town. She's going out of the village, isn't it inappropriate?"

Grandpa, confused, waved his hand:

"Why inappropriate? You two big adults can't take care of a woman. Besides, Xu Qing's wife is so obedient, Qinghuan can take her sister-in-law to broaden her horizons."

Xu Qinghuan was about to speak again, and Grandpa glanced at her coldly:

"I am the head of the family. You all listen to me."

Xu Qinghuan's face instantly turned red with anger, and she said fiercely,

"Then you take her yourself, why are you messing with me and my husband."

As she spoke, she angrily ran out of the room.

Zhang Peng looked apologetic, "Let me persuade her."

Grandpa vented his anger on Grandma, "I said, read more books and you'll turn weird. You don't believe me. I should sell her to the next village for money."

Then he smiled at me, "Go back and rest. I approve of your matter."

Xu Qing and I walked slowly toward the room.

Listening absent-mindedly to Xu Qing's joyful cries, I secretly rejoiced.

The most crucial step of escaping from here, I've done it.

Passing by Xu Qinghuan's room.

The faint voices sent a chill down my spine.

"Don't you want to see her miserable ten times more? Take her to the New Year's Eve party, I promise you'll be satisfied."

It was Zhang Peng's cold voice.

"What happened back then,

can't let her have it cheap."
