Shi Sen didn’t have the time to guess what was going on. She quickly put on a bathrobe and opened the door.

A beautiful woman in her forties entered her sight. She was Shi Sen’s mother, Bai Lan.

Shi Sen looked at her mother with red eyes as she threw herself into her mother’s arms.

“Silly child, what’s wrong?” Bai Lan asked as she patted Shi Sen’s back.

“Mom, I didn’t expect to see you again,” Shi Sen cried.

Bai Lan smiled. “You had a nightmare, didn’t you? I’m here, so don’t be afraid.”

Just as the mother and daughter were getting sentimental, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Bai Lan frowned and pushed Shi Sen towards the door. “Go get dressed first.”

After Shi Sen closed the door, she quickly got dressed. A man’s voice came from outside. “Bai Lan, are you there?”

When Shi Sen heard that it was her uncle’s voice, her expression instantly turned cold. Her uncle wasn’t a decent person. At the age of 37 or 38, he still had not found a wife, but ever since her father passed away, he had set his sights on her mother.

Just as she was thinking of this, Shi Sen suddenly heard her mother’s angry voice. “Shi Tu, I’m your sister-in-law. Please show some respect!”

Shi Sen immediately opened the door. Then, she glared at her uncle and said with a fake smile, “Uncle, what are you doing here? This is my room.”

Shi Tu said arrogantly, “This is my house, so I can go wherever I want. Get lost.”

Shi Sen remembered that on this day, her mother had tricked her into leaving, but she had been beaten by her uncle until her head bled. Her biased grandmother had severely injured her mother when her grandfather wasn’t at home. Although her mother was treated in the end, the injury left behind a sequela, causing her mother to pass away early.

When her uncle appeared, Shi Sen realized that she had really returned to the year she was 18 years old.

She clenched her fists and punched her uncle in the eye.

Shi Tu was used to getting his way. When he felt the pain, he scolded loudly, “How dare you hit me? I’ll beat you to death.”

How could a little girl like Shi Sen defeat a man?

Bai Lan rushed over in fear to stop Shi Tu, but Shi Sen was no longer as easy to bully as she was in her previous life. She took a drying rack from nearby and dodged Shi Tu’s attacks as she beat Shi Tu until he cried out in pain.

However, the difference in strength was still too great. Soon, Shi Sen was at a disadvantage.

Bai Lan came to stop Shi Tu, but he grabbed her neck angrily so hard that his veins bulged.

When Shi Sen saw this, she anxiously picked up the brick that she had used to cushion the foot of the table. “Let go of my mother. Let go of my mother!”

“Little b*tch, little b*tch, come and hit me!”

“Bitch, you don’t have the guts to.”

Shi Sen’s hands trembled as she recalled the pain and exhaustion her mother had suffered in her previous life. She was so furious that she smashed the brick at Shi Tu’s head.

Shi Tu’s head instantly bled.

“Mom! Mom!” he yelled.

“Sen Sen, what should we do? Your grandmother will beat you to death.” Bai Lan panicked. “Just say that I hit him. Do you understand?”

When Shi Sen looked up, she saw that Bai Lan’s hair was messy, and she was clearly frightened.

But her mother still protected her.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I have another way,” Shi Sen whispered into her mother’s ear.

Bai Lan was shocked. “No, this will ruin your reputation!”

Shi Sen smiled. “Compared to this, I care more about the retribution he gets.”

As soon as Liu Cui entered, she saw her son covering his head and bleeding all over the ground. She immediately ran forward and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Who did it? Who did it?!”

She looked at Shi Sen. “You stupid bitch. I’ll beat you to death.”

At this moment, a few women from the village passed by. When she saw them, Shi Sen immediately cried. Her hair was messy and her clothes were torn.

“Grandma, I didn’t do it on purpose, but Uncle suddenly barged in. I had no choice!” Shi Sen cried pitifully.

Coupled with Shi Tu’s usual behavior in the village, the women instantly came up with an absurd idea. Of course, so did Lin Cui.

She knew her son too well, but she didn’t expect him to not even let his niece off.

Liu Cui was stunned.

A few women took this opportunity to help Shi Sen up and asked concernedly, “Sen Sen, are you hurt?!”

Shi Sen shook her head. “I’m fine. Fortunately, there was a brick to cushion the corner of the table. Otherwise…”

A few women patted her back to comfort her.

Only then did Shi Tu shout, “I didn’t! What nonsense are you talking about?!”

He was about to hit Shi Sen when someone grabbed his hand.

Shi Tu looked up and saw his stern father.

He looked at the wound on his son’s forehead as he asked in a low voice, “Who did it?”

Shi Sen’s heart sank. She already had a bad feeling.

Shi Sen looked up at the man who had the final say at home. “It was me, Grandpa, but Uncle…”

“Go wash all the clothes at home. You’re not allowed to come in until you’re done. Liu Cui, go find them for her,” Shi Song said sternly.

Only then did Liu Cui react. She quickly agreed. “Oh, okay, okay!”
