Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Mrs. Xue Gets Beaten by Daya Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Mrs. Xue Gets Beaten by Daya Mrs. Xue’s world turned pitch black, and before she could regain her senses and remove the sack from her head, a sudden pain struck her body, causing her whole frame to tremble instantaneously.
Daya pulled a stick from the pile of firewood that Mrs. Xue had just collected and began to beat her mercilessly with it.
Let her abuse Yu, let her starve Yu, let her attempt to take Yu’s life, she wouldn’t stop until she was dead.
“Ah, ah, ah, help me…” Mrs. Xue’s terrified screams echoed at the foot of the mountain, “Who are you, stop hitting me, help…”
However, Righteous Dao Village was not like other ordinary villages. The people here mostly minded their own business, especially since this was at the foot of the mountain, which was usually deserted.
Daya, consumed by rage, only sought to avenge her sister, and even if someone had tried to intervene at that moment, it would have been futile.
She didn’t make a sound, just kept hitting Mrs. Xue with the stick. The image of little Yu being tortured by this woman flashed in her mind, causing unbearable heartache, making her blows even more merciless.
It wasn’t until Mrs. Xue’s voice became fainter and fainter that Zhao Xi furrowed his brow, stepped forward, and grabbed the stick from Daya, shaking his head at her.
Daya’s face was covered in sweat, and she panted heavily, her thoughts on the suffering Yu had endured made her kick Mrs. Xue fiercely a couple more times.
Zhao Xi pulled her away a few steps before she finally threw the stick down with force and stumbled away from the foot of the mountain.
Mrs. Xue lay on the ground, her body uncontrollably shuddering twice as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Only when she sensed the footsteps fading away did she shakily and tremulously muster all her strength to lift the sack off her head.
All around her was silent; not a soul was in sight, as if the person who had just been beating her had been a mere illusion.
However, at this moment, every bone in her body ached, and any slight movement sent a sharp pain straight to her head.
“Ah…” Mrs. Xue cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground, barely clinging to life.
As her vision began to blur, she could no longer hold on, and passed out completely.
When she woke up, it was in the Shu family’s living room. She had been dumped on the floor, and no one paid her any attention.
Mrs. Xue lifted her head and looked toward Miss Four who walked in, “I…”
Miss Four let out a cold snort, “If you’re awake, get up. Stop lying there pretending to be dead.”
The Shu family had noticed she hadn’t returned after going to gather firewood, so they had set out to look for her. There was no helping it; without firewood, they couldn’t even prepare dinner.
So the first Madam and Second Madam together went down to the foot of the mountain and, following the path, they found Mrs. Xue lying on the ground.
At first, they thought she was dead, only to discover she had fainted.
They struggled to carry her back and instructed others to collect the firewood. As a result, the Shu family ate their dinner very late, their stomachs cramped with hunger.
Naturally, they weren’t pleased with Mrs. Xue, who had delayed their meal.
Mrs. Xue opened her mouth and tried to move her right hand, only to find she couldn’t–it seemed to be dislocated.
Before she fainted, she could still move, although it hurt, she was still in one piece.
Why did it feel broken now?
She stared at Miss Four with wide eyes, convinced it was they who had broken it while carrying her back.
It was easy to guess how rough and malicious their handling was.
“What are you staring at me for? Get up!” Miss Four found her gaze annoying and approached her swiftly, grabbing her hand to pull her up.
The next moment, Mrs. Xue let out a miserable scream, “Ah!!”
