Following that, the original owner tirelessly cared for the stepson, but what she received in return were repeated beatings by him.
Every time she was beaten, Guo Jingling and her in-laws would coax her into forgiving.
However, as the stepson grew older, his strength increased, and the injuries the original owner sustained became more severe. Once, she was beaten unconscious, yet the Guo Family just carried her to bed and didn't take her to the hospital.
Moreover, after several years of marriage, she had not fallen pregnant. The neighbors gossiped about her being a barren hen, and whenever they saw her, they'd sneer and ridicule her.
Because of this, she particularly disliked going out.
Her in-laws and Guo Jingling would always comfort her, saying that the Guo Family had sons and grandsons and didn't mind whether she could have children or not.
But despite that, the original owner still believed that she was a sinner for not expanding the Guo family tree, feeling inferior.
