After Ye Zhiqiu married, her husband went off to war and died on the battlefield. When her mother-in-law learned of her son’s death, rage overcame her and left her bedridden. Ye Zhiqiu devoted herself to caring for her paralyzed mother-in-law, but still couldn’t escape a life of torment. Then one day, she was nearly beaten to death by Zhou.
After narrowly escaping death, the first thing Ye Zhiqiu did upon waking was take on her mother-in-law, her husband’s younger brother, and his younger sister.
Ye Zhiqiu said, “Everything but life and death is a small matter.”
A certain man propped his head up beside her and asked, “Then why are you going after that family?”
Ye Zhiqiu smiled with reckless abandon. “I may be able to take anything in stride, but that doesn’t mean I forget a grudge! Forgiveness is God’s business. My job is to send them to meet God. See how kind I am?”
The man was speechless. “Are you sure about that?”
