Chapter 3337: See How Gentle and Caring I Am?
Ning Shu tormented Ma Yongjun until his whole body went limp.
From now on, he’d probably suffer from frequent dislocations.
A little force, and crack—his bones would snap.
Under the torture of her joint-dislocating techniques, his joints became swollen, red, and burning hot.
Ning Shu stuffed an anti-inflammatory pill into his mouth.
His joints were inflamed and swollen—what did that have to do with her?
She dragged him to the bed, soaked a cloth with water, and wiped the sweat from his face.
Tsk tsk, see how gentle and caring I am?
Then she covered him with a thin blanket.
Ning Shu never hit Ma Yongjun in front of the two children. She had to maintain her image as a kind mother.
It had always been Ma Yongjun who hit people—the cruel and violent father.
Ma Yongjun spent most of his time bedridden, and Ning Shu told the children that his heart couldn’t handle stress, so he had to stay in bed and rest.
As for his constant swelling, she explained that it was because his heart wasn’t pumping blood properly, causing poor circulation and fluid retention.
Little Ma Shuangshuang didn’t understand much—she just knew that Dad was sick.
But Ma Lanlan thought this was great. As long as he stayed in bed, he couldn’t cause trouble or beat Mom and her.
In Ma Lanlan’s heart, the idea that a father should provide for his family or take responsibility for his loved ones never even existed.
Ma Yongjun was neither a good husband nor a good father.
As for his suffering, Ma Lanlan didn’t care at all.
Ever since she was born, she had lived in the shadow of domestic violence.
She hid in the corners, watching her father punched and kicked her mother. Sometimes, he even hit her, leaving her face covered in bruises.
She would walk to school with her head down.
But whenever Ning Shu asked her to bring food or water to Ma Yongjun, she still did it.
Doing these things didn’t mean she loved her father.
Ning Shu’s small food stall business was gradually picking up. She could earn a hundred or so yuan a day. It wasn’t much, but at least the two children didn’t have to wear second-hand clothes or use other people’s discarded items anymore.
It wasn’t like the old days when people couldn’t even afford to eat.
Sometimes, Ma Lanlan would bring her classmates to the stall to buy egg pancakes.
According to Ma Lanlan, her classmates treated her differently now.
After all, they say that when you’re young, your parents’ income determines how others treat you.
When you grow up, your income determines how others treat your parents and children.
This world was both warm and cruel.
What made Ma Lanlan happiest was that she no longer had to use things other people had thrown away.
When she had free time, she helped Ning Shu with small tasks within her ability.
Ning Shu felt that Ma Lanlan was finally showing a bit of the energy a child should have.
When she first arrived in this world, Ma Lanlan’s gaze had been sharp and piercing, making people uncomfortable.
Ma Yongjun didn’t like his eldest daughter because of that wolf-like gaze—always looking like she was ready to bite him.
Her hatred and disgust for him were written all over her face.
But now, Ma Lanlan was a little more cheerful.
Some people’s existence was like a nightmare—one you wished would just disappear.
Ning Shu didn’t know if Ma Lanlan was suppressing her feelings deep inside or if she was truly changing.
Besides the abused women, children were the biggest victims of domestic violence.
