Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

He Yuzhu stood at the door of the meeting room, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked in.

His footsteps were a little heavy, and every step seemed to carry with it a sense of uneasiness about the upcoming meeting.

Inside the house, Yu Haitang sat at the table, her hair scattered messily on both sides of her cheeks, her eyes filled with madness and hatred, and her once lively beauty had now been distorted beyond recognition.

"You finally came."

When Yu Haitang saw He Yuzhu, a cold smile appeared on her lips. There was no kindness in that smile, only endless resentment.

He Yuzhu looked at her with a frown on his face, feeling mixed emotions: "Yu Haitang, why did you do this? You have committed an unforgivable crime."

Yu Haitang laughed sharply: "Unforgivable? In my opinion, you guys forced me to do this! Especially you, He Yuzhu, if you hadn't always looked down on me, I wouldn't have come to this point today!"

Her voice became hoarse with excitement, and her hands were tightly gripping the edge of the table, her knuckles turning white.

He Yuzhu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He didn't expect Yu Haitang to blame him for her crime. "I have never had any ill will towards you, but I have always had someone else in my heart. You can't force feelings. Don't you understand this?

But this is definitely not an excuse for you to commit crimes. You kidnapped, trafficked, and intentionally injured people. How innocent are those victims? "

"Innocent?" Yu Haitang's eyes widened, the resentment in her eyes seemed to be turning into substance, "What does their innocence have to do with me? When I was ignored by everyone and rejected by you, I knew that this world would not have the slightest mercy on me.

I can only fight for what I want, even if it means using the most extreme means!"

He Yuzhu said angrily: "You are totally unreasonable! You have destroyed so many families for your own selfish desires. The lives of those who were trafficked by you have fallen into darkness. How can you be so cruel?"

Yu Haitang did not feel guilty at all, instead she burst into laughter: "Cruel? Isn't this world cruel to me? When I was struggling in the darkness, who would pity me?

He Yuzhu, the pain you are in now really makes me happy. The more pain you suffer, the happier I feel. "

He Yuzhu stared at her and shook his head in disappointment: "You have completely lost yourself.

You think you can get revenge on me by doing this? You are wrong. You are just pushing yourself into a deeper hell."

"Hell? I've already been in hell!" Yu Haitang's voice became shrill, "From the moment I was abandoned, there was no turning back.

And you are one of the sources of my pain. I hate you, He Yuzhu, and this hatred will accompany me forever.

I have never regretted anything I have done, and I would do it again if I had to do it again!"

He Yuzhu was silent. He knew that Yu Haitang's mind had been blinded by hatred at this moment, and any persuasion would probably be futile.

But he still couldn't help but say, "Yu Haitang, you can still turn back. As long as you sincerely repent and reform yourself in prison, you may still have a chance to start a new life."

"Start a new life?" Yu Haitang felt as if she had heard a huge joke. "I don't need such an opportunity. I just want to see you suffer and see those who once ignored me pay the price."

At this time, He Yuzhu mentioned Ying Bao who was kidnapped by her: "How could you do this to a child? Ying Bao is so young, she did nothing wrong."

Yu Haitang snorted coldly: "In my eyes, she is just a tool for me to take revenge on you.

Her fear and her tears can become sharp weapons for me to hurt you."

He Yuzhu clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger in his heart: "You have lost even basic humanity by behaving like this.

The feud between you and me should not involve innocent children."

Yu Haitang looked at him provocatively: "So what? What can you do to me? Although I am trapped in this prison now, I can feel your pain, and that is enough."

He Yuzhu knew that he could no longer communicate normally with Yu Haitang at this time.

He turned around and prepared to leave when he heard Yu Haitang's crazy laughter from behind: "He Yuzhu, you can't escape.

My hatred will follow you until you are completely broken."

He Yuzhu walked out of the meeting room with an extremely heavy heart.

He couldn't understand why Yu Haitang became so extreme, and felt sad for the victims.

He knew that Yu Haitang's crime would be severely punished by the law, but he couldn't calm down.

He decided to find the families that were hurt by Yu Haitang and do his best to make up for it.

In the following days, He Yuzhu traveled around and met the families of several children sold by Yu Haitang. The families that were once full of laughter and joy were now shrouded in gloom.

Those parents cried all day long, and the trauma suffered by their children made them feel unbearable.

He Yuzhu was filled with guilt. Although he was not the direct perpetrator, Yu Haitang went to extremes because of him. He felt that he had a responsibility to help this family.

He not only provides financial assistance, but also provides psychological treatment to parents who have lost their children.

The rescued child became silent and often woke up from his sleep, shouting "Don't hurt me". Whenever He Yuzhu saw this scene, his heart felt like it was cut by a knife.

He tried hard to comfort the children, trying to dispel the fear in their hearts with warmth and love.

At the same time, He Yuzhu did not give up his attention to Haitang.

He learned from prison staff that Yu Haitang was still stubborn and showed no remorse in prison. She refused to participate in any reform activities and often clashed with other prisoners.

He Yuzhu knew very well that if Yu Haitang continued like this, she would be completely ruined.

So, He Yuzhu wrote a letter to Yu Haitang.

In the letter, he did not express any accusations or anger, but simply calmly narrated the suffering of Ying Bao's family and the tragic experiences of those who were trafficked by her.

He hoped that Yu Haitang could think from his perspective, even if it was just a little bit touching.

When Yu Haitang received the letter, she was dismissive at first.

But on a quiet night, when she was alone in the cell, a ripple still arose in her heart.

She tried to put the contents of the letter out of her mind, but the words haunted her like a ghost.

She remembered Ying Bao's frightened look, which was a fear that a child should not have.

However, the flames of hatred soon drowned this trace of conscience.

She told herself that this was all He Yuzhu's conspiracy, he just wanted to make her soft-hearted, she couldn't be fooled.

As the days go by, He Yuzhu is still trying to make up for the mistakes made by Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang also fell into a state of self-struggle in prison. Deep in her heart, conscience and hatred were fighting fiercely.

But whenever she thought of the neglect and pain she had suffered, hatred took over again.

Once, He Yuzhu requested to meet Yu Haitang again.

Yu Haitang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

When they met, He Yuzhu found that Yu Haitang's eyes became even colder and more determined.

"What are you doing here again? Do you want to influence me with your false kindness and righteousness?" Yu Haitang said coldly.

He Yuzhu looked at her, his eyes full of fatigue: "Haitang, I just hope you can face up to your crimes, even if it's just for the salvation of your soul."

Yu Haitang sneered: "My soul? It was already dead when you abandoned me. You don't need to waste your breath here."

He Yuzhu sighed: "What do you think hatred can get you? It will only make you sink deeper and deeper, and eventually there will be no way out."

"I don't care." Yu Haitang turned her head away. "I just want you to suffer, that's enough."

He Yuzhu knew that this meeting still had no effect.

But he would not give up. He believed that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try his best to awaken the conscience deep in Yu Haitang's heart.

In the days that followed, He Yuzhu continued to send Yu Haitang some books about human nature and redemption.

He hoped that these words could slowly seep into Yu Haitang's heart and make her change.

Although Yu Haitang remained tough on the surface while in prison, those books still influenced her unconsciously.

She began to toss and turn at night, thinking about what she had done.

A trace of regret occasionally flashed through her heart, but the shackles of hatred still bound her tightly.

As time went by, Yu Haitang's case entered the trial stage.

In court, Yu Haitang still did not show any remorse.

She glared at the victim's family and even swore at them.

He Yuzhu sat in the audience, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

In the end, Yu Haitang was sentenced to a heavy sentence.

When she was taken away from the court, she looked at He Yuzhu with a look of determination: "He Yuzhu, this is not over yet. My hatred will accompany me every day in this prison."

He Yuzhu looked at her receding back and said silently in his heart: "I will always be here, waiting for the day when you let go of your hatred, even if that day will never come."

He Yuzhu returned home and looked at the corner of the yard that was once filled with laughter and joy, but now seemed particularly deserted.

He knew that this tragedy caused by hatred would be forever engraved in his heart and would be a pain that he would never be able to get over.

But he also understood that he could not be defeated by hatred. He had to keep moving forward to find the glimmer of hope that might exist...

When the news that Yu Haitang was sentenced to death came, the entire compound was shocked and fell into silence, followed by sighs one after another.

The neighbors who once knew her gathered in the yard, shaking their heads and sighing at the fickleness of fate and the complexity of human nature.

"What a good girl, how did it end up like this?"

An old neighbor sighed, his eyes full of regret.

The scene of Yu Haitang singing in the yard seems to still be in front of my eyes, and the clear singing voice seems to still echo in the air, but now there is only endless sorrow.

"It was hatred that blinded her heart. This hatred was like a cancer that consumed her completely."

Another person echoed, with deep helplessness in his tone.

They thought of Yu Haitang's usual behavior. Although he was a little willful at times, they never thought that he would commit such a heinous crime.

He Yuzhu was sitting alone in the house, and when he heard the discussions outside, his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer.

He looked at the old locust tree outside the window, his thoughts drifting away.

He thought of Yu Haitang's energetic appearance when he first met her, and his heart was filled with regret.

"If I had shown more care and guidance, perhaps none of this would have happened." He muttered to himself, tears welling up in his eyes.

The families who were harmed by Yu Haitang also had mixed feelings after learning the verdict. The children's parents hugged and cried. They were both heartbroken by the trauma their children had suffered, and slightly relieved that justice had been served. "Finally, we can give an explanation to our children, but the price is too heavy," one of the fathers said with tears in his eyes.

In prison, Yu Haitang's body shook slightly when he heard the death sentence.

At that moment, she felt mixed emotions.

The flame of hatred is still burning, but deep in my heart there is also a sense of relief.

She thought of He Yuzhu's efforts, the books he had sent her, and his earnest advice, but she was still bound by hatred and could not break free.

"Is this my ending?" she asked herself in her heart, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

As the execution date approached, the whole city seemed shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

People talked about Yu Haitang's case after dinner, lamenting that the bottom line of morality and law cannot be touched, and that one person's hatred could cause so many tragedies.

Xu Xinyue was standing in the corner of the court. When she heard the death sentence, a hint of cold satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, the blue veins on the back of her hand bulged slightly, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, but the emotions of anger and hatred still dominated.

"She deserves it." Xu Xinyue said in a low voice, gritting her teeth.

Thinking back to the terrified look in her children's eyes and the nightmares they suffered every night when they were caught up in the disaster, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles.

At this time, her child Ying Bao was sitting in front of the window at home, looking outside with empty eyes.

Ever since she was kidnapped by Yu Haitang, she has become a different person.

The scene of being imprisoned in that dark hut kept appearing in her mind. Yu Haitang's crazy eyes and vicious expression seemed to be engraved deep in her memory.

He was afraid of the dark. Every night, he would tremble, feeling that Yu Haitang would rush out from a corner at any time.

"Mom said she was going to be punished, but why am I still so scared?" Ying Bao thought silently in her heart.

He knew that Yu Haitang had done a lot of bad things, but his heart was full of contradictions.

He hated Yu Haitang and the pain and fear she brought to him, but he couldn't help but wonder what made her become such a bad person.

When playing with children of the same age, he became silent and unwilling to play with them.

He was afraid of seeing others chasing and fighting, as that would remind him of his own experience of being chased and threatened.

When Xu Xinyue returned home and saw her child's lonely back, her heart ached.

She walked over to Yingbao and hugged him gently.

Ying Bao's body stiffened slightly, then she leaned into her mother's arms and whispered, "Mom, am I useless? I am still afraid."

Xu Xinyue held back her tears and comforted her: "Baby, it's not your fault. Everything will be fine."

Ying Bao raised her head and looked into her mother's eyes: "Mom, is she really never coming back?"

Xu Xinyue nodded firmly: "Yes, she will never hurt you again."

There was a complex look in Ying Bao's eyes, which showed both relief and an indescribable confusion.

For a long time afterwards, I was particularly dependent on others.

He is also particularly attached to He Yuzhu and Xu Xinyue.

While taking care of Ying Bao, He Yuzhu and his wife provided psychological intervention to Xu Xinmei.

Fortunately, Xu Xinmei is older and the trauma she suffered was not as severe as Ying Bao.

Xu Xinmei also adjusted quickly.

After hearing that Yu Haitang was sentenced to death, Xu Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, after the bad woman Yu Haitang was arrested and sentenced to death, he would no longer be able to hurt Ying Bao.

She was happy with the result...
