Wang Shufen didn't want the atmosphere to become so heavy, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you."

Lin Qian nodded and said yes.

After Wang Shufen left, Lin Qian continued to get information from her younger sister, wanting to learn more about her mother's life over the years.

Zhaodi looked around and made sure no one heard her. Then she leaned over to Lin Qian's ear and whispered, "Sister, Mom has never dared to divorce Dad. Every time Mom mentioned divorce, Dad would fly into a rage and even beat her. He also said he would kill Mom and us, including you and me."

After listening to her sister's story, Lin Qian finally understood her mother's forbearance and helplessness over the years. It turned out that she had always been worried about herself and her family.

Lin Qian gently patted Wang Zhaodi's shoulder and comforted her: "Zhaodi, don't be afraid. I will protect you. With me here, no one will dare to bully you. If he dares to hurt you in any way, we will make him pay the price."

After a while, Wang Shufen came over with a few simple but fragrant dishes. She smiled and said, "Come, eat. These are all home-cooked dishes. I hope you like them. My family is not well off, so I can't treat you well."

The aroma of food filled the dining table, and the warm atmosphere filled the entire courtyard again. After dinner, Lin Qian and Lu Jingshen helped to clean the table. Wang Zhaodi helped pass the bowls and chopsticks, her little face full of seriousness.

In the afternoon, Lin Qian and Lu Jingshen took Wang Shufen and Wang Zhaodi to the yard to chat about family matters. The sun shone through the leaves and the breeze blew gently, warm and comfortable. Lin Qian secretly made up her mind to help her mother and sister out of this predicament. She looked at Lu Jingshen beside her, her eyes full of determination and gratitude. Lu Jingshen seemed to understand her thoughts, gently held her hand, and gave her a supportive look.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard, and a tall figure appeared at the door. Lin Qian looked up and saw her stepfather Wang Tiezhu walking in drunk. When he saw Lin Qian and Lu Jingshen, his face changed, and a trace of disdain and hostility flashed in his eyes.

Wang Tiezhu shouted, "Hey, when did you have guests? You cooked so many dishes. Can you finish them? If you can't finish them, you can only throw them away. Do you think the money I earn comes from the wind?"

Wang Shufen hurriedly went over to them and whispered, "Say less, they are here to see me."

Wang Tiezhu snorted coldly, walked to the table, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at his rude appearance, Lin Qian became more determined to take her mother and sister away.

Lu Jingshen stood up, looked at Wang Tiezhu coldly, and said in a firm tone: "Uncle Wang, we are here just to visit our family. I hope you can give us some quiet time."

Wang Tiezhu smiled disdainfully and stared at Lu Jingshen fiercely: "Boy, don't think you can act arrogantly in front of me just because you have a few dollars. This is my home, you'd better know your place."

Lu Jingshen sneered and met his gaze without fear: "This is not only your home, but also Mom's home. If you dare to attack Mom and Zhaodi again, I will not let you off easily."

Wang Tiezhu was shocked by Lu Jingshen's aura. He muttered something and stopped talking.

Lin Qian took a step forward and said to her mother firmly, "Mom, we will take you and Zhaodi away today. You don't have to endure his violence and bullying anymore."

When Wang Tiezhu heard this, he immediately became furious and roared: "What did you say? Want to leave? No way!" As he said that, he overturned the table, and the dishes scattered all over the floor, and the soup splashed everywhere.

Wang Shufen screamed and hurried to hold the table, but Wang Tiezhu grabbed her wrist and threw her away. Wang Shufen fell to the ground, holding her wrist and frowning in pain.

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Since you have married me, don't even think about leaving!" Wang Tiezhu said viciously, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Lu Jingshen couldn't hold back any longer, so he took a step forward and punched Wang Tiezhu in the face. Wang Tiezhu staggered, but he immediately reacted and punched back. The two men wrestled together, their fists and feet kept interweaving, and the scene was a mess.

Wang Shufen and Wang Zhaodi watched all this in horror, while Lin Qian quickly helped her mother up and stood by her side. She looked at the scene in front of her, her heart filled with anger and anxiety.

Although Lu Jingshen had received professional training since childhood, Wang Tiezhu was strong after all, so it was not easy to fight him. The two of them fought back and forth, punching each other, and finally Lu Jingshen kicked Wang Tiezhu to the ground with a beautiful sweeping kick. Wang Tiezhu lay on the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain.

Lu Jingshen looked at him coldly and warned: "If you dare to touch them again, I will never let you go."

Wang Tiezhu gritted his teeth, but was unable to refute and could only stare at Lu Jingshen angrily.

Lin Qian supported her mother and sister and said firmly, "Mom, let's go now. We don't want to stay with this devil any longer."

Wang Shufen nodded with tears in her eyes, finally making up her mind. Lin Qian and Lu Jingshen took them into the car and left this place full of violence and fear.

When the car left the top of the mountain, Lin Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at her mother and sister, her heart filled with hope and determination. In the days to come, she would definitely let them live a happy and peaceful life and never let them suffer again.

Lu Jingshen held Lin Qian's hand and said gently, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Lin Qian nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

The two smiled at each other, and their hearts became closer. Along the way, the sun was shining brightly, as if blessing their new life.

Wang Shufen was angry just now, and with the support of her daughter and son-in-law, she took her children and left without hesitation. After she calmed down, she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness. She recalled the quarrel with her husband just now, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She looked at Lin Qian beside her and asked tentatively, "Qianqian, where are we going now?" There was a hint of confusion and uncertainty in her words.

Before Lin Qian could answer, Lu Jingshen spoke decisively: "Go directly to Jingbei." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he had set a clear direction for this sudden change.

Lin Qian quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, let's stay away from this place of trouble first." She gently patted the back of Wang Shufen's hand to comfort her.

Suddenly, Lin Qian seemed to think of something important. She turned to Wang Shufen and asked, "Mom, did you bring your documents? Most importantly, your ID card."

Wang Shufen nodded, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "In fact, I have been fed up with him for a long time, and I am ready to leave him at any time. But I am worried about you. I am afraid that if I leave, he will retaliate against you."

Lin Qian felt warm at heart after hearing this. She held Wang Shufen's hand tightly and comforted her, "Mom, don't think too much now. As long as you stay with us, we have food to eat, and you have food to eat."

Lu Jingshen listened to their conversation silently, and he already had a plan in mind. He quickly took out his mobile phone and began to check the flight information for that day. Fortunately, there were still three tickets left. He booked them without hesitation and told the driver to drive directly to the airport.
