Chapter 373: Chapter 2: Child-Rearing Strategy (Part 2)

In the storyline, the original protagonist treated the girl well, giving her keys to the house and everything.

One day, because she wanted to go to the military base to seek news of her husband, the original protagonist entrusted her child to the girl, since the child had a cold and wasn’t in good shape to be taken out; otherwise, she would have taken the child to the base directly.

What she didn’t expect was that this departure would forever separate her from her child.

The town wasn’t actually far from the military base.

However, just as the original protagonist left the town, she was drugged and then assaulted by a thug from the neighboring town.

When she woke up, she couldn’t accept the reality. Seeing the man moving on her, she pretended not to wake up, but when the thug wasn’t paying attention, she kicked directly at his genitals.

But after all, she was a woman, completely naked, and with her personality, there was no way she could escape like this.

This world still placed heavy emphasis on chastity.

Moreover, that thug even held onto her.

Seeing the oil lamp on the table, the original protagonist thought for a moment, and directly grabbed the lamp and threw it at the wall.

It was originally a thatched hut, and it caught fire instantly. The thug tried to run, but the original protagonist held him back by his hands and feet, choosing to die along with him.

After all, she had already hardened her resolve to die; having been humiliated, she simply couldn’t face her child.

Even if she escaped, she might be coerced again in the future or face rumors. It was better to perish together like this.

She absolutely wouldn’t let this villain go.

The original protagonist died in unclear circumstances, but the power of her husband’s family and her own family naturally made it possible to investigate.

Furthermore, there were two people inside the hut, and the identity of the other person was verified. Coupled with some passerby testimonies, it was easy to piece together that the original protagonist had been followed and possibly to preserve her chastity, chose to die together with someone.

The child lost their mother and was only close to the girl.

The husband’s family naturally wouldn’t let the child stay in the town alone, so they took both the girl and the child back.

The girl hadn’t expected that the original protagonist’s husband’s family was so powerful, so she further strengthened her relationship with the child; the child was her amulet after all.

When the child was five, the original protagonist’s husband returned, having completed his secret mission, and his position was adjusted, bringing him back to the Capital City.

The girl saw the original protagonist’s husband and immediately liked him, often approaching him under the pretense of the child, trying to seduce him. But the original protagonist’s husband was a soldier, very principled, and had deep feelings for the original protagonist; he wasn’t someone who would easily sway for beauty.

He also knew that because he hadn’t confirmed with his wife before hastily leaving due to issues with the secret mission, he hadn’t contacted his wife for a long time. This led her to keep waiting for him; if she had returned to the Capital City, she wouldn’t have encountered such a fate.

His wife was pampered from a young age; under what circumstances would she choose to die along with someone?

Thinking about this, the original protagonist’s husband was pained to the core.

He blamed himself, heartbroken and regretful, so how could he fancy another woman?

The girl, seeing the man continually ignore her and her seductions being ineffective, and even thinking he might send her away because of her advances, finally gave up.

She hated the man for ignoring her, so she pretended to lay low and took care of the child well. Since the child depended heavily on her, the original protagonist’s husband could only tolerate the girl staying.

He just didn’t expect this woman to be so vicious.

The girl decided that if she couldn’t have him, then he couldn’t have peace either.

After coming to the Capital City, she gained insight into some matters.

It turned out that the original protagonist’s husband had enemies, though initially the man had no flaws. However, his enemies approached this girl; she colluded with his enemies and ultimately framed the husband for treason and selling out the country.

Due to this incident, the man’s father was also implicated, and even the original protagonist’s family suffered the consequences.

And that wasn’t all; the girl took the child away and left him outside. When the man found the child again, it was on the street, reduced to a little beggar, with blind eyes and broken legs.

Actually, the man knew that the accusations of treason were impossible. The only person who could approach him and place evidence in his study was the woman who often came over with his child.

He was very clear why his child had ended up in such a condition.

The man wasn’t a small character and quickly found that woman, though ironically, she still thought she could cash in, only to be silenced by the enemies directly.

The girl’s viciousness was evident; she had approached the original protagonist with premeditation. Li Shuning finished reading the plot and only then realized that this girl was reborn.

Before her rebirth, because her family was poor, she went to work in the neighboring town to support her family but ended up mingling with the thug who had assaulted the original protagonist.

The thug wasn’t a good person; he was initially attracted to the girl for her looks. To court her, he spent considerable effort, but being idle, he had no money. However, he had brothers who were equally idle.

He had someone bully the girl, then heroically saved her, and gradually they came together, and he coaxed her into sleeping with him.

Later, when he ran out of money, he coaxed the girl into doing that with other men to get some money from them.

The thug relied on the girl selling her body to sustain himself.

The girl regretted deeply, but at this point, she was helpless; if she dared leave, the thug threatened to expose her dealings with so many men, and the girl had no choice but to silently endure.

The girl desperately wanted to escape from that predicament. One time, when she returned home, she learned the original protagonist was home alone with a child.

She remembered the neighboring shop owner had a brother who desperately wanted a child but couldn’t have one. He had long wanted a child; after all, a lone woman with a child could be easily swiped away; given the brother lived abroad for years, a woman probably had no means to find the child.

So the girl and the thug discussed it, knowing a child could fetch a good price. Later, she and the thug together seized the original protagonist’s child at a market.

But when the original protagonist’s child was taken, she immediately called her husband’s family and also contacted the military base.

This matter drew immediate attention,

and soon the child was found, and naturally, the girl and the thug ended up in jail.

The girl put all the blame on the thug and even revealed how he forced her to sleep with other men, a matter that drew significant attention, resulting in the thug receiving a long sentence while the girl was sentenced to a few years.

When the girl was released, she happened to see the original protagonist’s husband returned, walking closely with the child on the street.

The girl was insane with jealousy.

The man in his military uniform looked so good; why did this woman get to have such a fine man? And what about her? Her life was ruined.

Wasn’t it just snatching her child? In the end, they took the child back and still treated them like this.
