Susan just fell down and was not seriously injured. She didn't let me go, grabbed my hand and insisted on thanking me profusely.
So, I went to her house for a meal and met Phil. Then we got married not long after.
When I was dating Phil, Linda was very envious of me for finding a husband who was considerate, gentle and obedient to me.
When she heard that Phil had a brother, she begged me to introduce them to each other.
"Mandy, please help me." She pulled my sleeve and said coquettishly, "You have found a good husband. How can you bear to see me alone?"
I hesitated, "But Susan is not easy to get along with, and I don't know what kind of personality Phil's brother has..."
She blinked her eyes and said slyly, "It doesn't matter. After we marry her sons, we can deal with her together."
Seeing my hesitation, she added, "They are brothers, so Phil's brother must be a good man. Mandy, I really want to be family with you and we can even complain about Susan together. How happy it will be."
I couldn't resist her begging and introduced her to Phil's brother Toby Smith, and they two got married successfully.
Linda and I both got pregnant at almost the same time and gave birth to our children successfully together.
However, she gave birth to a weak girl, while I gave birth to a lively and healthy boy.
Susan had always favored boys over girls. She never even looked at Linda's daughter. Instead, she happily delighted my son and put many heirlooms into his arms.
Until I was discharged from the hospital, Susan sent me all kinds of nourishment every day, but she ignored Linda.
At first, Linda showed no displeasure, but the favoritism became more and more obvious, and even Susan mocked Linda for not being able to give birth to a son.
Linda went crazy out of jealousy and stabbed me twelve times at my son's first birthday party.
Her hands were covered in my blood, and she was still shouting maliciously,
"Why should I be treated coldly by Susan and criticized by our neighbors every day just because you can give birth to a son?!
"I'll kill you, bitch. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be unable to give birth to a son!"
I gradually lost consciousness and vaguely saw Phil and Susan holding my son and hiding aside, afraid that they would be hurt by the crazy Linda.
They two showed no intention of coming to rescue me, and instead hid in a more remote corner.
