Chapter 3

The injured part of Lin Wanmei’s hand was bandaged with white cloth, obviously she had been to the hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, she took leave to recuperate at home because of her hand injury.

At this moment, she was sitting on the stool with a sad face.

She was worried that Mingshu would scratch Director Wu and take her anger out on her, and she might also be framed.

As soon as she saw Mingshu walk in with a blush on her face.

She was suddenly furious and forgot how the wound on her hand came about.

Pointing at Mingshu’s nose, he cursed, “Bitch, you don’t want the man I found for you, but go out to find a wild man. You have no shame. Go and apologize to Director Wu tomorrow, otherwise you will never come back to this house…”

Ming Shu avoided Lin Wanmei’s saliva, sat at the table, knocked on the table and interrupted her in a low voice, “Why did you drug me, why?”

Lin Wanmei was brought back to her senses by the crisp knocking sound. Mu Ran remembered Ming Shu’s cruel behavior yesterday. He dared not scold her anymore and whispered in a low voice, “You have graduated. If you don’t get married, you will go to the countryside. I am doing this for your own good.”

“If you want to do this for my own good, why can’t you just tell me straight away instead of resorting to such despicable tactics?” Ming Shu glared at her mother with a sneer.

“I…” Lin Wanmei was speechless.

Seeing Lin Wanmei hesitant and speechless, Ming Shu stood up and walked to her, lowered her head and stared into her eyes, with a dangerous glint in her eyes. “Then why did you want to starve me to death seven years ago?”

Lin Wanmei’s eyes flashed with guilt, and she avoided Mingshu’s gaze. “No, I didn’t mean to starve you to death. It was just that we had no food at home.”

Ming Shu sneered, grabbed Lin Wanmei’s hair and pulled it back, looking down at her eyes.

“But I remember clearly that when your mother’s family came to borrow food, you lent them half a bag of grain, and your four sons were all well fed and thriving, so why was it that I was the only one who starved to death?”

“I, we really didn’t mean it. Didn’t we provide you with enough food and warm clothes later?” Lin Wanmei cried, protecting her scalp with her hands.

“Don’t you know why I can have enough food and warm clothes? What other mother would give aphrodisiacs to her own daughter? Which one? Hmm…” Ming Shu’s eyes were filled with anger and she pulled his hair hard.

Ming Shu took the knife from her pocket and gently scratched her face. “Say it or not?”

Lin Wanmei was unable to move. Seeing the sharp tip of the knife hitting her face, she was trembling with fear.

“I’m telling you, Mingshu, Director Wu really likes you. He said that as long as you two are together, he will arrange jobs for your two younger brothers. And dad and I can get promotions.”

“Just for you and your sons, you can sell me out? I refused and you even drugged me!” Ming Shu sneered and slowly pointed the knife at her eyes, “Where did you put the drug?”

“Mingshu, Mingshu, don’t do this. If you hurt someone again, you will go to jail.”

“I’m not afraid of going to jail.” Ming Shu pried open Lin Wanmei’s eyes expressionlessly, and the tip of the knife slowly approached her eyeballs.

Lin Wanmei saw the tip of the knife was only a few millimeters away from her eyeball, and she felt a slight sting. She was so scared that her mouth was watering. “I, I’ll put it in the wine you drink.”

“Oh, in the wine,” Ming Shu’s eyes were filled with sadness. Then she immediately returned to indifference. “Why is that man okay?”

“What he drank is different from what you drank.” Lin Wanmei tried her best to tilt her head back to get away from the tip of the knife, but Mingshu’s hands fixed her head, making her unable to move.

“Haha, you really put in so much effort. You never thought about whether the medicine would have any effect on my body! Am I still your daughter?” Mingshu asked suspiciously with her eyes slightly gloomy.

A flash of guilt and panic crossed Lin Wanmei’s eyes.

Mingshu kept staring at her eyes and caught the panic in her eyes. She looked at Lin Wanmei suspiciously. It was understandable that she felt guilty, but why was she so panicked?

Mingshu recalled that Lin Wanmei and Minghai had been a very conflicting couple over the years. They were good to Mingshu, but they also wanted to starve her to death. They said she was not good, but they sent her to high school.

In this era, it is difficult for girls to go to school. For a girl like her who has four younger brothers who need care, other families would have asked her to go home and take care of her younger brothers long ago.

But this couple was not like that. Not only did they not let her take her children with her, they were also afraid that they would have contact with her.

Although they are not biological children, Mingshu has similarities with Minghai in her eyes and eyebrows.

“I’m not your daughter,” Mingshu said firmly.

Lin Wanmei’s eyes turned from panic to shock, and she shook her head, refusing to speak.

Mingshu saw that she still didn’t speak.

The tip of the knife moved forward another two millimeters. Just a little closer and it would have pierced the eyeball.

“Ah,” Lin Wanmei’s pupils widened, her breathing quickened, and she quickly shouted, “Yes, yes, you are not our daughter.”

“Then whose daughter am I? Tell me.” Ming Shu’s eyelashes trembled. He pulled her hair hard, and the tip of the knife moved further.

“Your father is your uncle, and I am your aunt.” Lin Wanmei spoke tremblingly as she looked at the tip of the knife.

“Oh, they died?”

“No, they sent you to my house. They just can’t come back.” Lin Wanmei answered tremblingly.

“They sent you money, right?” Mingshu felt a little relieved and asked, staring into Lin Wanmei’s eyes.

“right,”

“Since I sent you money, why did you want to starve me to death seven years ago? You would rather give the food to your relatives on both sides than give it to me.

Aren’t you afraid that they’ll know I starved to death? If I don’t send you money in the future, you won’t be able to support your sons.” Ming Shu frowned and looked at Lin Wanmei.

“We didn’t mean to starve you to death. We had no other choice at the time. We only had so much food at home, so of course we had to give some help to our relatives.”

“Then the food was probably sent by them! Am I right?” Ming Shu sneered.

Lin Wanmei closed her eyes and nodded.

“Why do you want to starve their daughter to death?”

Mingshu kept the distance of the knife tip unchanged.

Lin Wanmei was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder and nodded repeatedly, crying, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. We wanted to starve you to death and then have Mingxin adopted by your father so he could have a good future.”

“You want to starve me to death just for this reason?”

“Tell it or not. My patience is limited,” Ming Shu seemed to be unable to smell the smell. She looked fierce and pointed the tip of the knife at Lin Wanmei’s face, threatening her.

“What I said is true. So many people starved to death that year. The money and food they sent us were not enough for us to eat. And you have a big appetite, so we had that idea at that time.”

“Mingshu, Mingshu, Mom… No, your aunt doesn’t want to starve you to death. Aren’t you living well?” Lin Wanmei caught a glimpse of the knife tip about to pierce her lower eyelid. She closed her eyes tightly and said tremblingly.

Mingshu closed her eyes and didn’t want to talk to these shameless people.

“Then how should we settle today’s affairs?”

Mingshu’s knife pierced the skin beneath Lin Wanmei’s eye. The pain made her panic. She closed her eyes and cried for mercy: “Mingshu, I really know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please let me go!”

“I’ll forgive you, how? Tell me how to forgive you so that I can be satisfied.” Ming Shu was a little tired. She put down the knife, pushed Lin Wanmei away and sat down.

Lin Wanmei fell to the ground and looked up to see Mingshu finally let her go. She quickly got up and tried to run away.

Seeing this, Ming Shu stood up and threw a flying knife, which pierced the door along Lin Wanmei’s ear.

With a cold look in her eyes, she shouted calmly, “Where are you running to? Come here and tell me what you want me to do to you.”

When Lin Wanmei heard Mingshu’s roar, her body trembled. She looked at Mingshu with tears in her eyes and slowly moved over.

“I’m giving you a choice now. Treat others in their own way,” Ming Shu said with a sneer in her eyes.

“No, no, how can I?” Lin Wanmei opened her eyes wide and shook her head in panic.

“Stop talking nonsense, this is the only option. I will see the result tomorrow,” Ming Shu said impatiently.

“If you do as I say tomorrow, I’ll let you off the hook and not call Director Wu. If you don’t, I’ll have to do it myself. If your uncle doesn’t accept you, you can’t blame me.”

Ming Shu lifted Lin Wanmei’s chin with the knife, slowly moved it to her throat, and stabbed it lightly, “Do you understand?”

Lin Wanmei felt pain and her foot involuntarily took a step back, nodding repeatedly.

Ming Shu stared at her and said in a deep voice, “Don’t think about asking your men and sons to come back and support you. You should know that even if they unite, they can’t beat me.”

“I…I…can’t,” Lin Wanmei responded, looking up.

Mingshu saw that she was timid, which showed that she had been too kind in recent years, making them think she was easy to bully.

She turned back to her little dark room and just lay down to rest,

Suddenly remembering something, she quickly searched for it in her space. Fortunately, she had a box. Mingshu didn’t care if it was still effective or not. She quickly ate a few pills.

I took out some anti-inflammatory medicine and took a few pills to prevent the cut from getting infected.

Over in the old house, a tall and handsome man hurried back to the house with a medicine bag, and saw that the girl lying there had left.

He stared at the glaring red on the messy blue cloth, folded it, and then walked into the old house.

On one side, he turned on a light and a hole appeared. The man bent down and walked in. The figure disappeared into the hole.

Since Mingshu knew that she was not from this family, there was no need for her to continue to be hypocritical with them.

She rested in the small dark room until it was almost time for Minghai and his wife to go to bed.

Ming Shu used her mental power to probe over and heard Ming Hai’s low growl and Lin Wanmei’s sobbing. Then there was no other sound.
