On the day of delivery, my husband tied me home from the hospital delivery bed and locked me in the basement.
Just because I want my sister-in-law to fulfill her wish to have grandchildren. He strangled my stomach with a red rope soaked in black dog blood to prevent the birth of the child.
I held on to his clothes and begged him to give me a way out.
But he pushed me away, moved his hands harder, and tied the rope tighter.
The slender but yet strong red rope strangled my stomach tightly, and the suffocating restraint was accompanied by contractions. The pain made me sweat.
He looked at me condescendingly and sounded cold.
"My brother is dead. She is a lonely woman. She just wants to give birth to a grandson. You have to fight for such a small wish."
"The master said that the red rope soaked in black dog blood is most effective in preventing childbirth. When my sister-in-law gives birth, you can give birth again!"
But after my sister-in-law gave birth to her eldest grandson, he happily held a banquet and completely forgot about me who was still locked up in the basement.
Until I received a call from Wang Ma.
"The lady is dead!"
