AWB Chapter 3 Saving the Abused Mother
Chapter 3 Saving the Abused Mother
Ye Xiaoli took out sleeping pills from her pocket, placed them all on the cutting board, crushed them with a rolling pin, and carefully poured them into the braised dishes, stirring a few times.
She then carried the braised dishes and beer in a dish to the living room and carefully placed them in front of the man.
"You slut, how could I have married a piece of trash like you? Get out of here."
Liu Wuyang grumbled as he picked up his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and began to eat heartily.
Ye Xiaoli didn't say anything, but pulled Xiao Xiao to sit on the small stool by the door.
Liu Wuyang didn't ask the mother and daughter if they had eaten dinner; he just ate and drank while watching TV.
Two bottles of wine were quickly finished, and more than half an hour had passed.
Ye Xiaoli tilted her head and carefully observed. Seeing that the man's movements were becoming increasingly slow, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense and uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
Xiao Xiao noticed her mother's unease, so she gently touched the back of her mother's hand that was tightly holding her, and snuggled her head into her mother's arms.
Ye Xiaoli looked down at her daughter, a warm feeling welling up in her eyes.
She lowered her head and kissed the top of her daughter's head. When she looked back, Liu Wuyang had already unconsciously fallen asleep on the table, drooling at the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, Dad is asleep."
She poked her head out and said with delight.
"Sh-"
Ye Xiaoli gave a soft shush and put her hand to the corner of her mouth, signaling her daughter to be quiet.
The two remained silent for a while, but Liu Wuyang still did not move.
Ye Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and carefully walked to Liu Wuyang, nudged him, and said:
"Go back inside and sleep!"
Liu Wuyang was fast asleep and did not respond.
"Mom, let me help you."
Xiaoxiao walked over, grabbed her father's wrist, and dragged him into the bedroom.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoli bent down, supported Liu Wuyang, and dragged him into the bedroom.
Looking at Liu Wuyang, who was lying motionless on the bed, sleeping like a dead pig, Ye Xiaoli's tense expression finally relaxed.
Maybe we can do this more often in the future, so he won't hit people, or he'll hit people less often.
She relaxed and squatted down, pulling her daughter into her arms.
"Mother--"
The little one arched its head slightly and murmured in a childish voice.
She liked her mother's scent; it made her feel comfortable.
"Xiaoxiao, go get a rope."
Just then, the system's voice rang in Xiao Xiao's mind.
"The rope? Where?"
He asked with a slight doubt.
"There's a rope behind the gate, go!"
"it is good!"
Xiao Xiao gently patted her mother and said:
"Mom, wait for me a moment."
After saying that, he ran to the living room, and a little while later he came running back, dragging a rope in his hand.
"Mom, here! Tie him up, tie Dad up too."
"what?!"
Ye Xiaoli paused for a moment, hesitated before taking the rope but didn't move.
"Mommy, tie it up, tie it up."
Xiao Xiao looked at her mother with confusion and kept urging her.
Ye Xiaoli bit her lip, thinking to herself that Xiaoxiao was probably afraid that her father would wake up in the middle of the night and beat her!
Okay! Then tie them up securely.
After thinking it over, Ye Xiaoli no longer hesitated and quickly tied Liu Wuyang up.
"You can't tie him up like that, he'll untie him."
The system assistant reminded Xiaoxiao and sent her an animated image, showing her how to tie it.
Xiao Xiao immediately stepped forward, took the rope end, and said:
"Mom, tie Dad's hands to the headboard like this."
"Uh! Xiaoxiao, how do you know all this?"
Ye Xiaoli was somewhat surprised and wondered where her daughter had learned these strange pieces of knowledge.
She's only two and a half years old, how does she know all this?
"what--"
Xiao Xiao lowered her head guiltily for a moment, then, prompted by the system, raised her head and replied seriously:
"When the kindergarten teacher downstairs was demonstrating, Xiaoxiao saw it and... and then she failed to learn it."
"Oh-Little one, that's great!"
Ye Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that her daughter was really smart. Then she wondered if the kindergarten teachers downstairs were teaching the children how to tie people up.
This doesn't seem plausible!
But she really didn't know. The tuition for that kindergarten was tens of thousands of yuan a year, which was unaffordable for most families. She also didn't know what the curriculum was.
Though he was skeptical, he couldn't help but praise her.
Her little face was slightly red, but with encouragement from the system aunt, she quickly ran to the living room and picked up a sturdy solid wood chair leg from the corner.
This was taken from a broken restaurant chair.
Little Xiao ran to the bedroom with the stick, handed it to her mother, then pointed at her father who was tied to the bed and shouted excitedly:
"Hit! Mom hits, hits Dad."
Ye Xiaoli blankly took the chair leg, looking at the man on the bed at a loss.
She was used to being submissive, and giving men sleeping pills was the greatest resistance she could muster.
At this moment, she is being asked to hit someone, and the person she is hitting is the man who has been abusing her.
Immediately, the man's ferocious face and the overwhelming, unavoidable fists and feet appeared before my eyes.
She screamed, instinctively dropped the chair leg she was holding, covered her head with her hands, and crouched in the corner, trembling.
"Mother?!"
Xiao Xiao was startled by her mother's actions and covered her little chest, looking at her mother in surprise.
“Your mother has suffered psychological trauma from the beating. Take it slow, Xiaoxiao. You did a great job today.”
"Don't be afraid, Mom."
Little Xiaoxiao, recalling how her mother protected her in her memory, ran over and hugged Ye Xiaoli with open arms, then gently patted her mother's head twice with her chubby little paws.
Ye Xiaoli gradually recovered with her daughter's comfort. She hugged Xiaoxiao and sobbed, resting her face on her daughter's shoulder.
Xiao Xiao started crying too.
She doesn't know what's wrong with her, but whenever her mother cries, she can't help but cry too.
It contains the original owner's emotions, as well as her own.
"Waaah--Mommy...."
"Little one, don't cry, Mommy's okay."
Ye Xiaoli cried for a while, then realized that she could no longer be so cowardly. For her daughter's sake, she had to be brave.
Ye Xiaoli released her daughter, stood up, picked up the wooden stick from the ground, and walked step by step to the bedside. Her eyes were filled with determination and courage.
However, when she saw Liu Wuyang's sleeping face, the shadow of fear returned to her heart, and the wooden stick trembled involuntarily.
"Mom, keep going! Hit him! Hit him!"
Xiao Xiao stood to the side, clapping her chubby little hands to encourage Ye Xiaoli.
Ye Xiaoli took a deep breath, closed her eyes, raised the wooden stick, and struck Liu Wuyang.
With a sharp crack, the stick slammed into Liu Wuyang's leg.
Ye Xiaoli opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes. After realizing that the man had no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised the wooden stick again, this time with even more force.
With a crisp "snap," the wooden stick landed on the man's leg.
The man twitched, then fell still.
Ye Xiaoli was startled and took two steps back. Seeing that the man did not move, she mustered up her courage and raised the stick again. After hesitating for two seconds, she smashed it down with all her might.
Ye Xiaoli struck with all her might this time, and the wooden stick broke with a crack.
After hitting him, she clutched the broken stick, cautiously pulled her daughter to the doorway, and carefully observed the man on the bed.
If anything goes wrong, she will immediately grab her daughter and run away.
The man's body twitched a few times before coming to a stop.
Ye Xiaoli gasped for breath, looking at the man, then at the broken wooden stick. For the first time, the pleasure rising in her heart overwhelmed her fear of this man.
"Mom, keep hitting him, even if Dad wakes up, he can't fight back."
The little girl clapped her chubby hands and, with the help of the system auntie, encouraged her mother in a sweet, childlike voice.
Yes! What am I afraid of?
Ye Xiaoli, you've at least gone to university, how did you end up like this?
You're such a wimp.
Today she's going to vent all the grievances she's suffered over the years, to settle old scores and grievances.
After thinking it through, Ye Xiaoli turned around, picked up her daughter, and walked out while saying softly, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you go watch TV in the living room for a while?"
"Ah good!"
Xiao Xiao wanted to see her mother beat up her scumbag father, but her mother wouldn't let her, so she had no choice but to obediently agree.
Xiao Xiao sat on the sofa, watching TV, occasionally glancing back at the closed bedroom door.
After a while, Ye Xiaoli opened the door, panting, smoothed her hair with her hand, and walked out with a smile.
Xiao Xiao looked at her mother. Although Ye Xiaoli had a wound at the corner of her eye, her smiling mother looked beautiful. The heavy, unsettling worry between her brows seemed to be gradually fading away.
Ye Xiaoli hugged her daughter tightly, laughing and laughing, when suddenly she burst into tears, crying loudly and heartbreakingly.
Little tears welled up uncontrollably as she clung to her mother's neck.
"Mom... Mom..."
Ye Xiaoli picked up her daughter, wiped away her tears, and whispered:
"Xiaoxiao, Mommy will never let anyone hurt us again."
