In the Qingyang Temple, the meditation room of Bai Jing was kicked open and Shan Tingyan walked in with anger.

A green-clothed Taoist boy rushed up to welcome her.

“Aunty.”

“Where’s your master?”

“He fainted and didn’t wake up.”

“Let me see.”

Shan Tingyan pulled the Taoist boy away and saw Bai Jing lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, with a smile on his face.

“Brother.”

Bai Jing didn’t have any reaction.

What was he dreaming about? Shan Tingyan felt very puzzled because she herself was awake. She thought that the other one was also awake. But why was her brother still in deep sleep?

She wanted to wake him up, but she was afraid that there would be an accident. But if she didn’t wake him up, she was afraid that he would never wake up again.

Suddenly, she had an idea when she was in the dilemma.

She whispered to Bai Jing’s ear, “Brother, wake up. Brother Mu is coming to see you.”

Bai Jing moved, opened his eyes, and looked at her in confusion.

Shan Tingyan was angry and slapped him heavily on the forehead. Then she said, “What are you doing? Get up quickly.”

Bai Jing shrieked. He then sat up and finally became completely awake.

Shan Tingyan glanced at him and said with dissatisfaction, “What are you screaming for? I’m not a demon or a devil.”

Bai Jing immediately complained with hisses, “why do you want to break my dream? My child is still a baby. He can’t leave me now. Why don’t you wait until he grows up to be an adult before waking me up?”

“What the hell?”

“Why are you still cursing? That’s my baby.”

“Who’s baby?”

“Mine.”

“Your baby? His baby?”

“Yes.” Bai Jing responded happily and immediately covered his face with his hands.

“You piss me off.”

Shan Tingyan was very angry. She kicked the spittoon beside the bed and snapped it right on the head of the Taoist boy. Seeing his aunty was very angry, he fled out of the room in fear.

Bai Jing looked at her in a daze. He was afraid of her in daily life. If she got angry, he didn’t dare to talk anymore.

“When did you two hook up?”

“It’s just a dream. You don’t have to take it seriously.”

Shan Tingyan also felt a little embarrassed. She knew it was just a dream and there was no need to take it seriously.

She was just a little resentful. She thought, “We have always been very loving and happy. Why did we suddenly become enemies? And I was beaten by him in public. It’s really infuriating.”

She didn’t talk because of anger. Bai Jing whispered, “Sister, it’s just that you woke up early. In fact, everything goes well.”

“Everything goes well? What happened later?”

“The two families decided to live in harmony. And the two old patriarchs made the decision to marry you to Brother Mu. Then you lived a harmonious life. Soon after the wedding you were pregnant and gave birth to two cute boys. The elders felt very happy and completely forgave you.”

“Really?”

“Of course. You guys woke up early and these happened later so you didn’t see.”

Shan Tingyan was in a good mood. She coughed lightly and said in a calm tone, “Brother, it’s just a dream. Who would take it seriously?”

Bai Jing glanced at her with contempt and hurriedly nodded his head.

“Brother, we have already accompanied him to break through three steps. Do you have any idea?”

Bai Jing pondered for a while and shook his head slightly.

“There is no connection between these three steps. To be honest, I think I’m just a passerby. Maybe he knows exactly what’s going on but he never says anything.”

“Yeah, we’re all passersby. And when we get in, we forget who we really are. It would be nice if we could stay sober like him.”

“It’s just one reason. You thought it carefully. How did our generations pass away?”

How did they pass away? Shan Tingyan thought for a moment then suddenly understood and looked at Bai Jing with a horrified face.

The latter nodded and lowered his voice and said, “Many people die in their sleep. I used to think it was a blessing. But now?”

“Brother, I want to find him just to know what’s going on. I don’t feel safe if I don’t understand clearly.”

“You’re right. We must find out what happened. Otherwise, I’m afraid we will have to live in fear for the rest of our lives. We should find the source of the matter and then strike to eradicate it.”

On this issue, their views were completely consistent. Although every time after entering the dream they were able to get out of it safely, after a long time of this kind of life, sooner or later they would break down.

And if they failed to break any step, the result would be an eternal sleep.

For them, this danger must be eliminated if they wanted to live safely in the future.

However, they didn’t dare to move now. Who knew whether Brother Mu would continue to break the steps, and whether they will be teammates?

However, within a few minutes, one of them fell to the bed and the other fell to the ground. The two of them fell into a deep sleep again.

...

Li Mu pushed a gate and stepped in.

A young woman in rags, with a green cloth wrapped in her hair was there. She was sitting on a stool opposite the courtyard door, with a large wooden basin in front of her filled with soaking clothes. The woman pulled up her sleeves and was scrubbing the clothes.

There was also a fat old lady in a gorgeous dress in the yard who was lying in a rocking chair, enjoying the sunshine.

When the young woman saw Li Mu coming, she stood up and looked at him nervously.

Li Mu was stunned. Why was Brother Sissy dressed so shabby? Did it mean that the Li Family had fallen?

He got closer and found that her face had quite a few bruises. Li Mu was not happy at that time. After all, they were also teammates. Who dared to hit her?

The old woman glanced at her and then scolded, “B*st*rd, who told you to get up? Have you finished your work? Hurry up and work.”

Bai Jing shivered with fear. She hurriedly sat down and continued to scrub the clothes.

The old woman spat at her and turned her head to Li Mu and said, “My dear, your wife was lazy again. You have to teach her a good lesson. I think she has forgotten the rules of our Li Family again.”

Bai Jing didn’t dare to speak but just scrubbed clothes harder.

The old woman jumped up from her chair and yelled at her, “Are you discontented? Do you want the clothes to become torn?”

Bai Jing lowered her head and slowed down without saying a word.

The old woman scolded her again, “Can’t you see your husband is back? He is your god. Hurry up and get a chair for my son.”

Bai Jing bowed her head, wiped her hands with her apron, and ran into the house in a panic.

Soon she took out a chair for Li Mu.

Li Mu seemed to understand something. Before he could say anything, the old woman shouted again, “You are not qualified to listen to our talk. Hurry up and go to work.”

Bain Jing’s eyes turned red. She didn’t dare to resist the old woman and continued to sit down to wash the clothes.

Li Mu was very unhappy when he saw everything.

He loved his wife very much. Although he had a bad temper, he never beat or scolded Madam Lin. He believed that a real man should be good to his wife.

Was marriage just to pass on the family lineage?

There was no need to guess. This bad old woman was definitely the mother-in-law. Bai Jing was the daughter-in-law who was bullied and he should be the b*st*rd husband.

“Mom, is our Li Family in decline?” Li Mu asked.

“What are you talking about? Although we are not a rich family, there are houses and land. The family fortune was enough for you to live for the rest of your life.”

“Then why don’t we hire two servants and let her live happily with us?”

The old woman looked at him in surprise. The son in front of her made her feel a little strange.

“Li Mu, what’s wrong with you? She’s supposed to serve us. Otherwise, why did you marry her?”

“Mom, how did my grandmother treat you?”

Li Mu just mentioned the word grandmother and his mother immediately cursed, “That old woman can only eat and do not work. But we still have to support her. If it were not for your father’s sake, I would have killed her long ago.”

Li Mu looked at her in a daze and didn’t respond for a long time.

The old woman asked, “What’s wrong with you today? Why are you asking about your grandmother who has been dead for so many years?”

“Was my grandmother abused to death by you and my father?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. She died because she was too old. We didn’t abuse her.” she said with a flicker of panic in her eyes.

“Then did you hit my wife with the wound on her face?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s you who beat her. My dear, what’s wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?”

Li Mu froze for a while and it took a long time to understand.

“Me?”

“Yes, this little bitch just needs to be beaten up. Li Mu, you still have to teach her a hard lesson so that she will never dare to slack off again.”

“Shut up.”

Li Mu bellowed, walked to the wooden basin, and pulled Bai Jing up. He raised his foot and kicked the wooden basin away, scattering clothes all over the floor.

Both women were stunned. The old woman reacted first and rushed over to punch Bai Jing in her face.

“You are a foxy girl. What did you say to my son? I’ll beat you to death today.”

Bai Jing neither dared to hide nor dared to resist. Two more bloodstains instantly appeared on her face.

Li Mu was furious and pushed the old woman away, pointing at her and cursing, “Old demon. If you dare to bully her again, I’ll kill you.”

The old woman looked at him in surprise. Then she lay down on the ground and rolled around, howling and crying.

Bai Jing fell to her knees in a hurry, trembling.

Li Mu helped her up and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. I am the master of this family. As long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you anymore.”
