PFC Chapter 14: Reborn?
Chapter 14: Reborn?
Granny Liu felt a rush of heat to her head; she was bleeding.
"Hey, which bastard dared to throw a rock at my head? I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
Su Feng, who was hiding in a tree branch not far away, heard Granny Liu's wailing. He didn't dare to breathe and clung tightly to the tree branch, waiting for her to come over quickly.
He had come to the village entrance today to stake out Old Man Li, because his mother had gotten into an argument with Old Man Li while picking mushrooms on the mountain, and he wanted to avenge his mother.
Who would have thought that it was too dark at night, and they couldn't see who it was, but they ended up beating up Liu Pozi, the notorious shrew in the village. She had four young sons, so she was a tyrant in the village.
If she finds out today that it was Su Feng who hit her, this matter will definitely drag on endlessly.
So, Su Feng could only cower in the tree like a turtle and let her scold him.
Granny Liu stood there cursing and swearing for a while. Seeing that no one came out and that it was getting darker, she didn't dare to linger outside for too long. So she used a stick to pick up her clothes and hurried back to her own yard.
Wang Guihua had already prepared dinner and, as usual, served it to Old Man Su and the others first, while she left some food for Su Hanzhang and the others to eat on the kitchen floor.
Qin, the wife of the eldest son, was being lazy today and didn't come out to help with the cooking. She only came out of her room when it was time to eat.
Seeing that Wang Guihua had cooked the meal today and her mother-in-law was not home, Qin was worried that the second branch of the family had secretly hidden some good food in the kitchen to eat alone. So she made sure to check the kitchen before eating to put her mind at ease.
Su Yunhe, her eyes red from crying, was muttering to herself...
"Why isn't Mother back yet?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the courtyard gate was pushed open with a thud.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, old man, come and bandage me up."
Su Banxia, who had been sleeping inside, heard Granny Liu's wails and quickly opened a crack in the window to look into the courtyard. She saw Granny Liu holding clothes in one hand and covering her head with the other.
By the faint moonlight, one could see that blood was gushing from Granny Liu's head.
Upon seeing this, Su Banxia burst into laughter. This old woman never did anything good; indeed, evil people will be punished by heaven.
Su Yunhe ran out of the house and saw her mother picking out her clothes, blood still dripping from her head. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Granny Liu threw the clothes on the ground, then looked at Su Yunhe and said:
"Hurry up and rinse the clothes, then hang them up to dry. I got beaten up on my way to wash your clothes."
Su Yunhe picked up the clothes from the ground with some disgust and threw them into a large basin. Then she poured water on them to soak. Anyway, she wouldn't wash her own clothes. She could just call Su Banxia out later to wash them for her.
Thinking this, Su Yunhe moved closer to Granny Liu and asked nervously:
"Did our family have a grudge against anyone? Why would someone secretly retaliate like this?"
Granny Liu shook her head. She felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet. She had planned to give Su Banxia a good beating when she got back, but now she was too weak and could only let Su Yunhe help her back to her room.
Old Man Su then found a piece of cloth and simply wrapped Granny Liu's head with it.
The next day,
After Su Feng beat up Granny Liu yesterday and returned home, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. He didn't dare tell his mother, so this morning he came to the old Su family's courtyard under the pretext of wanting to play with Su Qingsong.
Su Feng was a notorious loafer in Su Family Village, a lazy bum who did nothing but eat and drink all day.
Su Qingsong was rather strange. Although he was a few years younger than Su Feng, he always wanted to be friends with Su Feng. He genuinely felt that Su Feng's lifestyle was his life's goal.
Previously, Su Feng had always ignored Su Qingsong, so this time, Su Feng took the initiative to ask him to go out and play, which made Su Qingsong feel flattered. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast and hurriedly washed his face before going out with Su Feng.
Seeing this, Su Feng quickly tugged at Su Qingsong's arm and stammered:
"No rush, I'll wait until you finish eating before we leave. Um, how's your grandma?"
Su Qingsong was a little surprised by Su Feng's question. Could it be that Su Feng had some kind of relationship with his grandmother? Why was he suddenly asking about her? Su Qingsong smiled and said:
"My grandma is fine, why don't you go in and see her?"
Upon hearing this, Su Feng quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no need. I was just asking. Let's go out and have some fun."
Just as the two were about to leave, they bumped into Su Mo, who was coming out of the house. When Su Mo met Su Feng's gaze, she shuddered. She felt like she had seen this scene in a dream, on the night her whole family was struck by lightning.
Su Mo remembered this face. She had met Su Feng in the same way, married him against all odds, and was ultimately beaten to death by him…
How could the scene in her dream actually happen? Su Mo became more and more frightened as she thought about it, and quickly took a few steps back and ran back into the house.
Su Feng glanced at Su Mo once, then his gaze was fixed on her departing figure. He nudged Su Qingsong's shoulder and whispered:
Who was that person just now?
Su Qingsong glanced disdainfully at the doorway of the second room.
"Oh, her? She's my second uncle's older sister, Su Mo. Brother Feng, let's ignore her and go out to play!"
Su Feng nodded, glanced at the door of the second room, and muttered to himself:
"Su Mo, Su Mo, what a beautiful name."
At this moment, Su Mo was sitting by the window, clutching her chest and panting heavily. The scene of being strangled to death by Su Feng in her dream was still vivid in her mind. She really couldn't understand how a dream could be reflected in reality.
Su Mo clenched her fists involuntarily.
Could it be that I was reborn the night I was struck by lightning? Or perhaps the scenes in this dream are all real experiences from my previous life?
Su Mo felt a growing headache as she thought about it. The scene of being bullied and insulted by Su Feng in her dream was still vivid in her mind. She never wanted to experience such a life again.
Su Mo gasped for breath, watching Su Feng and Su Qingsong's departing figures outside the window. Then, as if making a firm decision, she gritted her teeth and muttered:
"Whether I am reborn or not, I will never repeat the same mistake in this life and marry that villain Su Feng."
Su Mo raised her eyes and glanced at Su Banxia, who was still fast asleep. A slight smile played on her lips as she said coldly:
"If the Su family insists on marrying someone into the family, that person shouldn't be me. I've suffered enough; it's time for Su Banxia to suffer in my place in this life!"
