Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 138: I Must Escape

“You—” The woman looked up and glared at her.

Is this my daughter, whom I taught was filial?

Wang Xing’er had been sour-faced ever since she found out that her father really contracted the epidemic disease.

Her attitude worsened after her family repeatedly persuaded her not to return to the An Clan Village and cause trouble for her husband.

“Xing’er, this is for your own good. How will you be able to return to your in-laws’ house in the future if you cause trouble there now? How will your husband think of you?” the woman shook her head and coaxed her daughter.

!!
Everything they said was for her sake. They hoped she could continue living a comfortable life and be pampered by her husband.

However, little did she know that Wang Xing’er had ruined it herself. She had even received the divorce letter.

That was why Wang Xing’er hated her parents and An Jiuyue for suggesting those measures to the An Clan Village!

She felt that she could have brought her parents to live in her in-laws’ house if An Jiuyue had not given those suggestions. They could have been served good food and drinks, and she would not have to live in this straw shed.

And to think her father really contracted the disease! She was so terrified when she found out that she wanted to escape.

However, she had nowhere to escape. Several young, strong men guarded the straw sheds. They would capture anyone escaping immediately.

Being caught was not the worst—she could even be beaten to death by the villagers.

The officials would not even probe if that happened. They would say that the people beaten to death were at fault as they should not have escaped.

She could only stay in the straw shed and hide from the infected carefully.

However, she was certain she would be infected sooner or later as she lived with them every day. Hence, she knew she could not stay here any longer.

I must escape! I must leave this godforsaken place!

Why do I have to live in fear here while An Jiuyue can live on the mountain unaffected by the epidemic?

This is unfair! I want An Jiuyue to have a taste of what it feels like to be infected by the disease!

“I can’t be bothered to talk to you. I won’t stay here no matter what,” she sneered.

Neither her parents nor her siblings believed her. After all, there were people standing guard outside. Where could a woman like Wang Xing’er go?

Wang Xing’er’s sister-in-law walked into the straw shed with a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

“Mother, I brought you some wild vegetable soup. Hurry up and drink it. Ah Gen and I will go to Father—”

Before she could finish her sentence, the older woman stood up in a panic.

“No, no! I’ll go to him. Neither of you is allowed to go. Do you hear me?!” she instructed her daughter-in-law as she took the wild vegetable soup from her and went to another straw shed to feed her husband.

It was not that she did this out of an overabundance of kindness. She simply felt that given their current situation, it did not matter if a woman over 50 years old like her died from the disease.

Her son and daughter-in-law were young and had children. Who would take care of her grandchildren if they contracted the disease?

Hence, she had to be the one to serve her husband.
