Chapter 3314: She Definitely Had a Concussion
Ning Shu went to the kitchen, washed some rice, and put it in the pot. Since her face was swollen, going out to buy fried dough sticks wasn’t a good idea.
She could only take some pickled vegetables, chop them up, and stir-fry them in oil.
Then, she stir-fried a small dish.
The vegetables weren’t fresh. They weren’t fresh when purchased, the original host had gotten them since they were cheap.
If left for another day, they would start turning yellow.
Sitting on a small stool, Ning Shu picked off the yellowing leaves, but the dizziness was overwhelming.
She definitely had a concussion. She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror—half of her face was completely swollen.
Her back hurt too. Lifting her shirt, she saw a long purple bruise where Ma Yongjun had hit her with a chair.
Dear heavens.
Ning Shu took some anti-inflammatory medicine.
Just feeling the pain in her body made her want to kill Ma Yongjun—let alone Huang Jing, who had endured this for nearly ten years.
Sometimes, when you want to do something, it feels like the whole damn world is against you.
The more you struggle, the deeper you sink—like fighting against quicksand.
Huang Jing wanted to kill Ma Yongjun, but she couldn’t bear for her children to lose their father—or for their mother to become a murderer.
For the rest of their lives, the two children would be looked at differently by everyone around them.
The more concerns she had, the more shackles she bore.
But the legal route was nearly impossible.
Even if mediation happened, once they went back home and the door was closed, who would know what really happened inside?
Life’s misfortunes came one after another, dragging her into a whirlpool.
The water in the pot was boiling over. Ning Shu stood up too fast and staggered. She quickly grabbed the wall for support.
Then, she slowly moved to the pot, lifted the lid, and stirred with a spoon.
She quickly stir-fried the vegetables, then went inside to wake up the two daughters.
“Lanlan, wake up.” Ning Shu gently patted the older daughter’s face.
Ma Lanlan opened her eyes and saw Ning Shu’s horribly swollen face. “Dad hit you again.”
Ning Shu, pale, helped the two girls get dressed.
The two children sat at the table in silence, both with their heads lowered.
Ning Shu served each of them a bowl of porridge. “Eat. I’ll take you to school later.”
The older daughter, Ma Lanlan, said, “I can go by myself, Mom. You don’t have to take me.”
Ning Shu said, “I’ll just take you to the school gate. I won’t go inside.”
Ma Lanlan probably didn’t want her classmates to see her mother’s bruised and swollen face. Even though everyone in her class knew her mother was often beaten by her father, she still didn’t want them to see it firsthand.
It was a child’s sense of pride.
Ma Lanlan nodded. “Mom, you should go to the hospital.”
Ning Shu hummed in response. She definitely needed a medical exam.
The younger daughter, Ma Shuangshuang, was eating messily, so Ning Shu had to feed her.
After finishing the meal, Ning Shu felt her headache worsen.
So miserable.
After tidying up, Ning Shu went to the bedroom and found a mask, a headscarf, and sunglasses.
These were things the original host had prepared because she was frequently beaten. She needed ways to cover her face—just like how people keep umbrellas at home, just in case.
