After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2160 The Dead Don't Feel Pain

The two exchanged glances.

Tang Shuang: What good person wants to experience jail time? Has Sister Ran gone mad?

Bai Shanshan raised an eyebrow slightly: Maybe it's to teach us to find joy in hardship?

Tang Shuang: "From what she's saying, we're completely fine?" But how could that be? They've all been arrested; who would be looking for evidence to get them out?

Bai Shanshan paused for a second before answering, "I believe her."

Tang Shuang snorted irritably, "I believe her too, but the police have already found poison in the medicine, the evidence is conclusive, how are we going to get out? Could it be..." She lowered her voice and whispered, "Sister Ran knew all along that someone would poison the medicine? She knew who did it?"

Bai Shanshan narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Very likely." Her tone was deliberately casual, "Anyway, we're already in here, so let's listen to Sister Ran."

"We're all locked up. Do you think we can escape if we don't listen?" Tang Shuang retorted like a rebellious child.

Bai Shanshan is gentle by nature. Having gotten used to her, I know she doesn't mean what she says and doesn't take it to heart at all.

Tang Shuang kept staring at Zhang Ran across the fence. Seeing her leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, she turned around and wandered around the cell. There was nothing there except for the communal sleeping area and the squat toilet.

Besides the two of them, the cell also held other female prisoners, all sleeping on the communal beds. Even their arrest did not affect their sleep.

The closer the dormitory bed is to the squat toilet, the worse the smell becomes.

Tang Shuang and Bai Shanshan were newcomers, so the only empty spot was the large dormitory bed near the squat toilet.

The two looked at each other and walked over to sit down.

The suspect, who was lying at the head of the communal bed and furthest from the squatting pit, suddenly got up and shouted at the two women, "You two sleep here with me." Before they could respond, she kicked the suspect lying next to her.

The other person didn't fight back, but instead poked the person lying on the other side of them with their hand, and then moved back one by one until there was enough space for two people to sleep at the front, but there was no space left near the toilet.

Seeing this, Bai Shanshan's eyes flickered. She did not refuse and pulled Tang Shuang over to sit down.

After Tang Shuang sat down, she leaned close to Bai Shanshan's ear and whispered, "They're doing quite well."

Bai Shanshan didn't agree. They were all strangers and had been arrested for committing crimes. Why would they give up the best spot for no reason?

That evening, she finally understood the reason.

She had been asleep when she was startled awake by a suppressed, painful wail. She sat up abruptly and got out of bed to find the source of the sound, only to witness a scene that shocked her and would never be forgotten.

In the dimly lit corridor, Zhang Ran was beating a woman.

"You look down on women, don't you?"

"Aren't you a woman yourself?"

"You had nine daughters in order to have one son. Do you have a throne to inherit? Even a sow couldn't produce as many offspring as you!"

“You raise your daughters like pigs and dogs, kick them out to work and earn money before they even reach adulthood, then use them for dowries when they come of age, and even sell their corpses to arrange ghost marriages after they die. Are you human? You're not even as good as an animal.”

“You are oppressed by your husband, but instead of resisting or escaping, you exploit and oppress your daughter who is weaker than you.”

"Now you know it hurts? When you poisoned Erni, didn't she feel pain?"

"If you can't stand the pain, then go die."

"The dead are not afraid of pain."

The woman curled up on the ground, holding her head in her hands. She did not resist, run away, or cry for help. She didn't even dare to shout out in pain. She clenched her teeth and only groaned a few times when the pain became unbearable.

She dared not beg for mercy, for begging would only make Zhang Ran beat her even more severely.

She dared not cry out loud, for Zhang Ran would cover her mouth.

She dared not run away, because there was no way to escape.

She could only endure the pain, pleading with Zhang Ran to stop hitting her when she was tired. Compared to her husband's tragic death, at least she was still alive.
