Chapter 184 Even among perverts, there is a barrier.
As soon as Lin Sui spoke, it wasn't just Hu Liyun who was affected.
Even Zou Yiming couldn't stop trembling.
Fear welled up in his eyes again.
Even though he knew perfectly well that the demonic man had already vanished without a trace.
Hu Liyun's rapid breathing could be heard from the phone.
Accompanied by her terrified murmurs, as if she were trapped in some kind of nightmare: "No...no..."
"Ah Yun, Ah Yun, don't be afraid, he's dead, he's dead, he can't hurt you anymore."
The erhu kept patting and comforting.
She only found out today that the seemingly devoted husband in the neighborhood was actually a monster who abused his wife.
No wonder Hu Liyun became depressed and went crazy.
She only came to visit Hu Liyun today with a try-it-out mentality, and casually showed her the live stream.
Surprisingly, it actually restored her clarity of mind.
I really hope it doesn't get worse again.
Hu Qin thought for a moment and advised, "Maybe we should just forget about it..."
"No!" Hu Liyun suddenly snapped to reality. "I've been cowardly running away for so many years. Do you think I should run away again now that he's dead?"
At the very least, she wanted to let those who didn't know the truth know.
Her son is not an animal.
He was forced into this situation.
Hu Liyun stared intently at Zou Yiming on the other end of the phone, tears welling in her eyes, a forced, ugly smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
“Mingming, you must have been very scared back then, which is why you chose to commit suicide without hesitation.”
Zou Yiming gritted his teeth, suppressing the bloodshot tears in his eyes, and still closed his eyes and turned his head away.
“You’re right. By possessing your mother’s body and killing him, you helped your mother.”
"Otherwise, Mom might never have had the courage to escape him in her entire life."
After Hu Liyun finished speaking with a wry smile, she wiped her face and answered Lin Sui's previous question: "There's nothing inconvenient to say. Actually, Master Lin, you're so capable, you should already know, right?"
Lin Sui did indeed know.
Although the blood on the steel nails was from three years ago, it only allowed her to piece together a fragmented memory.
Hu Liyun took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, and then, with trembling lips, slowly said, word by word, "Those steel nails were used by Zou Qiang to torture me."
“As long as my son doesn’t get first place in the exam, or if there’s anything that displeases him, he will keep hammering nails into me, saying that this is my punishment for not teaching my son well.”
In an instant, the live chat exploded with comments.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This is absolutely terrifying! Is this some kind of reincarnation of Rong Momo?!]
Compared to him, even Rong Momo is just an appetizer, okay? This is the real beast!!!
[I can finally say it: Zou Yiming did a great job! This inhuman freak deserves to be torn to pieces; he wouldn't be a pity even if he died a thousand times!]
[But a divorce would have been better, why did he have to cheat? And look what happened, he's even become a vengeful ghost after he died, harming so many innocent women.]
Hu Liyun's live stream is still running.
Upon seeing this comment, she retorted emotionally, "I didn't cheat! That was just my therapist!"
"He's just paranoid, always suspecting I'll betray him. That's why he concluded I was cheating on him after he found out I was chatting with a therapist!"
Even so, you should have gotten a divorce long ago. You've been abused like this for quite some time now, haven't you?
[There was another one like that, a victim of domestic violence who would rather die than get a divorce; I don't know what she was after.]
Sometimes I really want to crack open the heads of you married women and see if you're so weak and pathetic, like you're made of tofu dregs.
Seeing these comments on the screen, Hu Liyun was speechless.
Yes, what is she after?
She had endured it for so many years that she had almost forgotten when it all started.
She thought and thought, thought and thought.
She recalled a winter many years ago when she suddenly received a phone call from her grandmother while she was at work.
The doctor issued a critical condition notice; Grandpa might not make it.
At that time, Zou Qiang was already pursuing her, and he would come to the restaurant every day without fail to wait for her after get off work.
Because of the vast difference between them, she hesitated to agree.
Until this time when her grandfather was critically ill, he traveled a long distance to personally accompany her back to her hometown to see her grandfather one last time.
He arranged everything for her grandfather's funeral, from food and drink to other necessities, in a very organized manner.
He even held her hand at her grandfather's bedside and vowed to take good care of her for the rest of his life.
Inevitably, she fell completely in love.
But she never thought she would marry him.
Therefore, when he proposed to her directly six months later, she was at a loss for words.
She was afraid that his parents would not approve of him marrying a girl who had no diploma, no family background, and was also plain-looking.
He just smiled and said, "It's okay, my parents don't care who I marry."
She then realized that his parents didn't like him because his older brother was far more outstanding than him.
He often felt that they were the real family, and he was just his older brother's shadow, so he desperately wanted to have a home of his own.
Upon hearing this, Lin Sui subconsciously glanced at Si Xingran.
Si Xingran crossed her arms and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not as perverted as him."
Lin Suishen agreed.
There are boundaries between different kinds of perversion.
"Looking back now, I was so naive," Hu Liyun said with a self-deprecating laugh. "I really thought that the plot of the novel had come to me, and I thought that after we got married, I would definitely take good care of him and give him a warm home."
At first, they did indeed have a warm and happy period.
Soon, she became pregnant.
She was overjoyed; she thought their family was finally complete.
But little did I know that everything was about to change.
The birth of her child turned out to be the beginning of her nightmare.
She would always remember that day when he excitedly told her that he had come up with a wonderful name for their son.
He made a name for himself, a name that astounded everyone.
Their son will surely be very smart, very outstanding, and always strive to be number one in everything.
She thought he was just overjoyed, which was why he had such high expectations for his son.
So she casually laughed and said, "Won't that be too tiring? I don't expect him to amount to anything; health and happiness are the most important things."
That one sentence caused Zou Qiang, who had always been gentle, to change his expression instantly.
His eyes were dark and obsessive as he grabbed her hair and roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? What the hell are you spouting?"
"If he can't be number one in everything, he's a piece of trash, a piece of trash, do you understand?!"
Her scalp was being pulled painfully, and she was terrified.
He smiled gently and called her name: "Ayun, I believe you can definitely raise our child well, right?"
“If you can’t teach him, I will choose a better mother for him.”
"This isn't what you wanted to see, is it?"
It was only then that she belatedly realized that his choice of her might not have been because he loved her that much.
Rather, she is the best to control.
Having lost both parents at a young age, she understands best how pitiful children are without their biological parents.
She dared not imagine what a miserable life her son would lead if she were really kicked out, leaving him with a stepmother and then facing his biological father.
But she has no way to take him away. Even if the child should be awarded to the mother during the breastfeeding period, he would definitely find a way to get custody.
She even held a sliver of hope for him, hoping that it wasn't his true feeling, hoping that he was just talking nonsense and that he wouldn't actually do it.
But she was wrong again, terribly wrong.
On the day the baby turned one month old, he brought back a box from outside, saying it was a gift for her.
She opened it with great joy, only to find it full of thin, long steel nails.
He said he had it custom-made and even asked her if she liked it.
At the time, she didn't understand why, but she subconsciously felt a sense of panic.
That very night, her fears came true.
It was just one instance of crying, a crying that the child couldn't control.
He went crazy, grabbing her by the neck and tying her to the bed. Then, while driving nails into her thighs, he asked, "What smart child would cry like this?"
That was the first time she had ever experienced such pain, feeling the excruciating agony of steel nails grinding and piercing her flesh bit by bit.
She was in so much pain that she fainted, suffocated, and even thought she would be pierced to death by those steel nails.
But he did not. He deliberately chose to torture her slowly, targeting areas that were not fatal.
Her self-deceiving fantasies were finally shattered completely by these steel nails.
Since then, she has never dared to relax for a moment, especially at night. She dares not sleep, and if she finds that her child is crying, she will immediately take him out to comfort him.
She endured this for half a year, thinking that things would be better when she was a little older.
However, as children grow older, more and more problems arise.
"He's six months old, why can't he walk yet?"
"It's been eight months and you still can't talk. Haven't you been teaching you properly?"
Those were the darkest six months of her life.
As long as the child doesn't learn to speak or walk, she will be forced to endure what he calls "steel nail punishment."
For a full six months, her body never recovered.
And she still had to drag her battered and broken body along as she tried her best to teach her child to speak and walk.
But the child just couldn't learn it.
Gradually, she broke down; she went mad.
She screams and curses hysterically every day, calling the child stupid and dumb.
In her most frenzied moment, she covered the child's mouth and nose tightly.
She thought obsessively, "Just die, it would be better if I died."
If she dies, she will never have to suffer those torments again.
By the time she regained consciousness, the child had already fainted due to lack of oxygen.
She stared blankly at him, then could no longer hold back and burst into tears, hugging him tightly.
Unable to bear the thought of abandoning her child, yet unable to endure the inhuman torture, she imposed her weakness and fear upon her child day after day.
As the years went by, she gradually lost herself.
She began to forget her original purpose: to stay and watch her child grow up.
It was so that he wouldn't have a dysfunctional family.
In the end, it turned out that she was the one who caused the most harm to the child.
The child became a tool for her to please her husband, and she even felt that all the abuse and torment she suffered was because of him.
So she vented all her resentment, bitterness, and even the unhappiness of her marriage on him.
Unbeknownst to her, she had become a devil just like her husband, yet she was still complacent about raising such an outstanding son.
Until she reunited with her childhood friend, Huqin.
She witnessed firsthand what a normal family relationship should look like.
We also see what a healthy parent-child relationship should look like.
She watched Huqin and her daughter playing together easily, and saw the pure and innocent smile on her daughter's face.
She suddenly realized that all these years, from childhood to adulthood, her son had never smiled even once.
She never even gave a very faint smile.
She clearly remembered that he could smile.
When he was a baby, his clear, bell-like laughter filled her with happiness, not nightmares.
At that moment, tears streamed down her face.
She finally realized that she was sick, and seriously sick.
She started taking medication secretly, but Zou Qiang discovered it.
Zou Qiang did not stop her, but just smiled and comforted her, saying that she was not sick and that she was doing very well and was a very responsible mother.
Whenever her son gets first place in his grade, he will buy her jewelry and designer bags as a reward.
People in the neighborhood envy her, praising her for marrying a good husband and raising a son well.
Under the influence of these sugar-coated bullets, she was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes even more confused.
Ultimately, it was thanks to Hu Qin that she was the first to notice her unusual behavior, strongly recommended a psychologist to her, and encouraged her to actively seek treatment.
She said she would definitely get better.
She also thought she would definitely get better.
But because of this psychologist, she fell into an even deeper nightmare.
At the same time, it became the last straw that broke Zou Yiming's back.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Zou Yiming cried out, his face covered in blood and tears.
Hu Liyun looked at him with a mixture of guilt and heartache.
Suddenly, she spoke up to get rid of Huqin: "I'm a little thirsty. Could you go outside and get me a glass of water? I'd like something hot."
Hu Qin, unsuspecting, took the cup and went out.
After the ward door closed, Hu Liyun lifted the bed sheet beneath her and took out a chopstick that had been sharpened to a point.
Because the screen was pointed at Zou Yiming, Lin Sui couldn't see what was happening.
Zou Yiming froze for a moment, then asked in a panic, "What...what are you going to do?"
Lin Sui then heard Hu Liyun ask, "Master Lin, you said that children who kill their parents will be judged as unwilling to come into this world again, and therefore will be unable to be reincarnated."
"What if I, as his mother, went down with him to face the punishment in hell and pleaded with the King of Hell on his behalf?"
"Could it be exchanged for his reincarnation as a human... no, even just the chance to become an insect, a small animal?"
Lin Sui instantly understood her intention. After a long silence, she answered truthfully, "It's possible, but the chances are slim."
In particular, if she were to commit suicide, it would be considered a crime.
Unless Lin Sui performs a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife.
"That's good, that's good." Hu Liyun smiled with relief.
Then, with tears in her eyes, she looked at Zou Yiming and said, "Mingming, Mommy's here to be with you."
"I don't need you! I don't need you to be with me!" Zou Yiming roared. "I just want you to live! To live a lifetime of guilt. That's how you help me, do you understand? Do you understand?!"
