Chapter 1: Karma
The moon and stars are scarce, and the cold wind is blowing.
There was no light in the alley in front of him, the air was filled with a disgusting and greasy smell, and fat wild rats roamed the streets.
Yan An wrapped her down jacket tightly, carefully looked at the surrounding situation with her peripheral vision, and after making sure that no one was following, she knocked on the iron door in front of her, and an equally alert female voice came from inside:
"Who!"
"It's me. ”
The iron door creaked open, and a pale young face peeked out of the slit.
This is her half-sister, Yu Ke.
Yan An stood in place, and it was not a taste to turn over the river and the sea in his belly. Speaking of which, who can believe that her half-sister hooked up with her husband, and a few days ago she traveled to Macau with a large amount of gambling debts, and now she is huddled in her hometown house, relying on her to steal chickens and dogs to survive.
If she has a little backbone, she should throw her face and leave at this time. But looking down at his slightly bulging lower abdomen, Yan An couldn't say a word.
"Why are you stunned?"
The deliberately lowered voice was full of unkindness to her sister, Yan An had long been used to it.
A strong arm suddenly stretched out and dragged her in, and Yan An smelled the monstrous smell of strong alcohol before she could stand still.
The arms that dragged her in grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously, accompanied by a loud roar: "Do you want me to die?"
I did think that when he beat her in the past, she did hope that he would die.
Yan An raised her eyes, and the person in front of her who was swollen all over her body due to the transition of alcoholism was her husband, Chen Shun.
She couldn't understand how the boy who took her for a ride had become like this. He used to be handsome, too.
Yan An dodged her husband's shackles and skillfully took out a bowl of porridge from the thermos bucket.
"Lao Tzu doesn't eat this kind of garbage!"
The bowl was knocked over by the other party before it was handed over, and most of the hot porridge was splashed on Yan An's hand, and it turned red.
She pursed her lips, rubbed her hand on her clothes, and said, "I went for a prenatal checkup today, and the child's condition is a little bad......
Before he finished speaking, a slap from her husband had already been swung over.
Yan An didn't expect her husband to ask about the child, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly become angry.
She subconsciously protected her stomach, and above her head was her husband's angry roar with the smell of wine: "Where did you get the money?"
Yan An hurriedly took a few steps back, about to hit a pair of cold feet, she looked up, Yu Ke, who had not made any sound, was staring at her coldly, that kind of look made Yan An unbearable.
She pushed Yu Ke and yelled, "Go away!"
In the next second, her husband was already grabbing her hair.
Yu Ke laughed and lit a cigarette beside him.
Yan An clutched his stomach and curled up in a comical pose. She said tremblingly: "I plan to sell my family's house, and pay off the interest on your gambling debts first, you can't hide here all the time......"
"Where do I live if you sell your house?" the husband was like boiling water, snorting and panting, "I asked you to find your big star boyfriend, didn't you go?"
"You are really sick and rushed to the doctor!" Yu Ke squinted at the cigarette and asked contemptuously, "Why should people pay attention to her?"
The husband's alcohol became more and more intense, his eyes were scarlet and bloodshot, and he waved his slap and shouted: "You go to the door of his company and kneel, I don't believe him ignores you!"
"Okay!" Yu Ke fiddled with his nails and said slowly, "Didn't you buy insurance? ”
A thunderclap exploded in the vast land, and Yan An didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She looked at the two people in front of her blankly, and asked innocently, "What are you talking about?"
Yu Ke said lightly: "I borrowed a loan shark to buy you an insurance, and if you die, the money you lose is enough for us to live." ”
Yan An'an was numb and couldn't move, she watched in a daze as her drunken husband approached her step by step at the instigation of his sister, opened his arms that had given her infinite security, and dragged her towards the door.
The cold wind gusted outside the house, which made Yan An goosebumps all over his body. She turned her face sideways, and the lonely old well in the courtyard became more and more chilling in the bright moonlight.
Yan An grabbed her husband's collar with all her strength and begged: "Don't do this...... Child, child can already hear the heartbeat today. ”
Her husband stubbornly shoved her into the well, muttering, "It's okay, it doesn't matter." ”
Yan An grabbed the edge of the well and pulled out blood marks. She heard her own bitter cry:
"Chen Shun! I didn't feel sorry for you from beginning to end! From beginning to end!"
She just liked him.
After so many years, she asked herself if she didn't feel sorry for Chen Shun for half a point, why did she end up like this?
"I know. The hideous-faced husband slowly spoke: "I will die if I have no money to repay my debts." You're fine, and you'll help me one last time. ”
"I'll beg him!"
As if grasping at the last straw, Yan An hurriedly spoke: "I'll beg him......!"
"Don't be stupid. The husband seemed to wake up in an instant, his eyes were bright and calm, "You lied to him so much, why would he help you?"
Yan An was stunned, listening to her husband gritting his teeth and jumping out word by word: "Yu Ke is also pregnant, I will miss your good, and I will burn money for you during the New Year's holidays in the future, don't remember it." ”
Her husband's words were like a whip with sparks, and they were thrown on Yan An's heart, whipping one after another.
Yan An almost bit off her tongue, she stretched out her hand to Yu Ke, who was watching from the side, and hissed: "Murder for money, you will be punished!"
"Yan An. Yu Ke leaned down to touch her face, and spoke in a rare whisper: "There is no such thing as retribution in this world." In fact, as long as you die and have money, we can live well. ”
His hands were torn apart by his fingers painted with bright red nail polish, and Yan An struggled to tilt his head, only to see the distorted moon and three vivid faces above his head.
Her husband, her sister, and suddenly appeared, her father.
It turned out that he had been there all along, watching from the sidelines, watching them harm her.
The foul smell of cold well water poured into her mouth and nose little by little, and Yan An could even feel something burrowing into her skin, wandering towards her limbs and bones.
Who told her before that a woman can rely on only her father and husband all her life, she firmly believes that she will go towards them all her life, and then what?
Comeuppance!
Is there really no karma in this world?
When the last light disappeared in front of him, Yan An thought that if this person could have a chance to do it all over again......
If she can have a chance to do it all over again, then it will be up to her to teach these people who have lost their conscience what it means to be -
Comeuppance!
