The thing my mother Chen Yue regrets most in her life is that she believed Wang Yu's lies when she was young.
When they were in love, he pretended to be honest, sweet and considerate, rushed to do the work, and coaxed her into thinking that she had met her lover. But as soon as she married into the Wang family, she saw the true face of the family - her father-in-law was arrogant and violent, her step-grandmother was a cold and accomplice, and her husband Wang Yu was an alcoholic and would often punch and kick her.
Just because she gave birth to a daughter (me), she could not hold her head high in the Wang family, and being beaten and scolded became commonplace.
She endured the humiliation just to protect the child in her arms.
After countless desperate days and nights, my mother finally made up her mind to take my daughter and escape from this hell on earth, even if she left home.
After a difficult and sad journey, she finally remarried and met a man who truly loved and cherished her.
For the rest of her life, she just wanted to live peacefully with her daughter and never return to that suffocating home.
Those who have hurt her will eventually suffer the consequences, and she will eventually live out her suffering.
