Half a month later,I was having a meal.
Suddenly,I felt a wave of nausea,covered my mouth,and ran out to vomit.
Lily followed me and said that I was probably pregnant.
I wasn't unaware that I might get pregnant,but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Since that was the case,I had to take action.
I didn't want to give birth to this child,and I didn't want it to become my shackle.
When women in the village gave birth,there were midwives to deliver the babies.On the one hand,it was more convenient,and on the other hand,it was to prevent the women from running away.
This pregnancy was the best opportunity to get out,and I had to seize it well.
When Jack heard that I was pregnant,he laughed like a fool and kept touching my belly,calling the baby his son.
Because of my pregnancy,I didn't have to do farm work anymore,and Jack didn't treat me as roughly as before.
I knew that all of this was an illusion.Once I gave birth to a daughter,I would be in for a hellish torture.
Even if I gave birth to a son,so what?Lily was still beaten and scolded.
So,I had to escape.
When Emily found out that I was pregnant,she didn't look happy.She would also come over and try to sow discord from time to time.
At first,she was the only pregnant woman in the family,and everyone treated her like a treasure.
Now that there was another pregnant woman,she definitely didn't get as much attention as before,and she must be jealous.
Emily was a cruel woman.She tried to push me several times,wanting to make me have a miscarriage.
I didn't want to provoke her at first,but she insisted on provoking me.Plus,she had caused me to lose such an important opportunity last time.
I had to get my revenge.
I learned from Lily that when Emily was a widow,she was not virtuous and had affairs with several men in the village.
I understood immediately and came up with a plan.
One day,I was sitting at home peacefully.
Suddenly,there came Emily's cries and screams from outside the door.
I went out to take a look and saw her being dragged back by Mark,covered in blood.
She kept crying out in pain,but Mark ignored her and kicked her belly even harder.
The sounds of her screams and Mark's rage filled the whole house.Before long,Emily fainted.
Looking at her like that,I didn't feel any sympathy.
Because she had brought all this on herself.
I asked Lily to invite one of Emily's former lovers to meet in Emily's name.
Then I found an excuse to trick Emily into going there.
Emily was not virtuous in the first place,and after being teased by her lover for a few words,they became flirtatious with each other soon.
Just at this moment,Mark came out and beat Emily and her lover severely.
Emily had a miscarriage,and Mark thought that the money he spent on her was a waste.He treated her like a slave.
I had originally worried that without Emily,Mark would treat Lily better,and then Lily might not be willing to leave.
But I was overthinking it.Mark became more and more arrogant with the money in his hands.
Without Emily,he kept looking for other pretty women.
This also made Lily completely give up on him.
After Emily's child was lost,my child was the only one in the family.
Everyone was very careful with me,and Jack didn't even dare to say a harsh word to me.
