“Mother, will it really be fine as long as you give birth to a boy?”

Sun Ru sniffed and asked with difficulty.

Madam Yang didn’t know why she suddenly asked this, but she replied firmly, “Yes, as long as we have a son, everything will be fine. Your father won’t treat us like this anymore.”

Sun Ru asked again with a sobbing tone, “Then, what if Father despises having only one son? What if he says that you’re useless to only have one son? What should we do then?”

Madam Yang was stunned. She had never thought of this question, but she quickly replied, “Then, then I’ll give birth to another son for him. As long as I satisfy him, he won’t despise me anymore.”

If one wasn’t enough, then two. If two weren’t enough, then three.

Sun Ru broke down. “Why? Why do you have to say that? Why are you still saying such things when this is clearly real? Why, mother, why can’t you leave him…’

Sun Ru’s heart ached. She had told herself countless times that what was happening now was real and that those were all fake. She had always warned herself, but she still couldn’t help but ask the questions in her heart. Madam Yang also gave such an answer.

In her phantom-like memories, Madam Yang had given birth to a son for Sun

Yong. They all happily thought that things would get better. Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister were especially happy, but their beautiful dreams were destroyed in less than a month. Sun Yong scolded them for not having enough sons.

Madam Yang was still weak and did not resist. She did not have the confidence to have a son like she said. She still did not have the confidence and still put down her pride to satisfy Sun Yong. Facing her retort, Madam Yang also said that if one was not enough, she would have another child.

The reason why Sun Ru thought that those were fake was because she understood that she was living in the present.

However, the current Madam Yang overlapped with illusions. This made Sun Ru understand that those were not really illusions. They were just countless lives that Sun Ru had experienced.

She wanted to save her mother, but in the end, she was only pulled down by her mother.

Sun Ru understood what Su Xiaolu was saying. Madam Yang was not worth saving.

Madam Yang was stunned by Sun Ru’s sudden cry. She reacted and hurriedly reached out to cover Sun Ru’s mouth. “Ah Ru, don’t cry. Don’t wake your father up. I didn’t say anything. Ah Ru, you’re the most sensible. I know you’re the most considerate…”

Madam Yang was afraid that Sun Rut s cries would wake Sun Yong up. She was especially flustered.

Sun Ru was in despair. Even though her mouth was covered, she did not move. She even thought that she would just die like this.

She wasn’t afraid of hardship or fatigue, but she was afraid that no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn’t be able to change the outcome.

She felt that it was fake, but reality told her otherwise. That kind of thing would happen.

Sun Yong, her father, didn’t care about his son. His son was just an excuse, an excuse to crush all of them. Her mother, her sisters, would die in this miserable life, and so would she.

The dull pain in her heart made her tears well up.

Madam Yang was also frightened when she saw Sun Ru like this. She panicked and wanted to wipe away Sun Ru’s tears. “Ah Ru, don’t cry. Don’t cry. Did someone bully you? Tell me who it is!”

“Mother, if I say who it is, can you seek justice for me?”

Sun Ru asked coldly.

Madam Yang was speechless. Even in the dark night, she did not dare to look into Sun Ru’s eyes. She even felt that Sun Rut s gaze on her seemed to be burning, burning her until she was ashamed.

“Ah Ru, if you don’t want to go, then don’t. It’s late. Don’t cry and sleep early. When mother gives birth to a son, everything will be fine. At that time, your father will buy you a flower to wear.”

With that, Madam Yang staggered up and left. She didn’t know why her daughter had become like that. That gaze made her feel especially embarrassed. She couldn’t stand it, but she couldn’t do anything, so she could only avoid it.

Sun Ru cried quietly. In the darkness, a small hand touched her cheek and wiped away her tears.

“Sis, don’t cry.”

Sun Yue’s voice was especially soft. She was very afraid and worried.

Sun Cai also came to her side. She did not say anything and just pressed against her quietly.

“Second Sister, Third Sister…”

Sun Ru’s heart ached even more. Her tears did not stop because of the comfort. Instead, they flowed even more violently. She subconsciously pressed her hand against her chest and moaned in pain. “It hurts, it hurts…”

Sun Yue and Sun Cai were very anxious. They gently massaged Sun Ru’s chest with their small hands. Afraid that they would hurt her if they used too much strength, they even blew on her, just like how Sun Ru blew on them many times after they fell and injured themselves.

This would stop it from hurting.

But why did it still hurt after they blew on it so many times?

Sun Yue and Sun Cai also cried.

In the end, Sun Ru passed out from crying.

Sun Cai and Sun Yue also cried themselves to sleep beside her.

In the dark night, a drop of condensed dew dripped into Sun Ru’s mouth, like rain nourishing the ground.

Sun Ru had a dream. In her dream were those unreal memories that she did not want to face.

In her dream, Madam Yang had taken divine medicine and endured it with difficulty to give birth to a daughter. She was in despair. It was only through Sun Ru’s repeated encouragement that she had hope again. However, her days did not change much. Not long after, Madam Yang got pregnant again. Her body was terrifyingly thin and her face was sallow. She still had a narrow escape from giving birth. This time, she finally gave birth to a son. However, less than two days after the good days, Sun Yong still scolded her for being useless. It was not easy to raise a child. If he died prematurely, he would still have no children.

After having a son, Madam Yang still could not straighten her back, so she continued to give birth. This time, she gave birth to another son. She was about to die, but Sun Ru sold herself in exchange for a set of medicine to protect Madam Yang’s life.

Madam Yang was very gratified that Sun Ru had saved her, but Madam Yang, who had two sons, still had a hard time.

Sun Yong scolded her for giving birth to so many useless things and eating so much.

Madam Yang was still very, very tired. As Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister grew up, Sun Yong owed a gambling debt. Second Sister and Third Sister were given away, Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister were sold. Sun Yong did not dote on his two sons much. He still drank and entered the casino.

Madam Yang was like a cow who had been working all year. She was as thin as a skeleton. Looking at her like this, Sun Yong looked at his sons.

Madam Yang could no longer give birth. What Sun Yong owed was not paid off. Debtors wanted to break his legs. In the end, his two sons were sold off to become eunuchs…

In the dream, Sun Ru was still in pain. There were many things that she could only watch helplessly. Perhaps there were some changes, but the ending was the same.

None of the sisters had a good ending. With such a family background and the identity of being sold, they were as lowly as Madam Yang and allowed others to trample on them. They were like cows who had to work their entire lives, before they gradually withered and died.

Suddenly, Sun Ru felt some power filling her broken soul, making her feel as if she had drunk dew and her mind was clear.

When Sun Ru woke up, she heard Sun Yong cursing. Madam Yang lowered her voice and begged for mercy..
