My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 348: This despicable man has no bottom line

The others also had serious expressions on their faces.

It was clear they agreed with this person’s thoughts.

Village life was hard, and they had finally seen a glimmer of hope;, if anyone ruined it, they would be furious enough to kill.

The Widow Jin’s expression turned stern, her face marked with wrinkles.

Her droopy eyes, cloudy with cataracts, sparkled with a gleam of sharpness.

When she looked up again, her face was filled with bitterness.

"Don’t worry, everyone,, I’ll keep a close watch on Xia Ru and prevent her from causing trouble.

If she ruins the brigade’s good fortune, my family will pay with our lives," she said, conveying understanding and seriousness all at once.

After all, these days Xia Ru had ruined her own reputation;, no matter what she said or did in the future, no one would take her side.

This worked to her advantage!

Sensing Widow Jin’s cooperative attitude, the villagers looked abashed.

Feeling embarrassed, they said, "We didn’t mean it that way..., just make sure to handle Gougou’s family properly."

Widow Jin responded affirmatively, and signaled to Gougou, who had just arrived, to pull Xia Ru back into the house.

Gougou still valued his bride Xia Ru quite a bit and would sometimes indulge her, even to the point of putting her before his own mother.

His face turned ugly when he suddenly learned about her wasting grain.

Without a word, he grabbed her and headed inside.

Men in the countryside are strong,, and after several days without a full meal, Xia Ru was weak.

Before she could say a word, she was dragged inside.

"Let go of me,, don’t touch me!"

As Xia Ru struggled, she felt disgusted by this despicable man.

Gougou noticed her repulsion and laughed spitefully.

Leaning in, he kissed her hard on the mouth.

"Annoyed with me, huh? Well, it doesn’t matter.

You’re my wife. Whether to hold or to kiss you, I’ll do what I want, whenever I want!"

As he spoke, his eyes lecherously surveyed Xia Ru’s shapely figure.

Xia Ru’s face turned dark., She wished she could draw a knife and end him.

This dog of a man knew no bounds.

It didn’t take long for Xia Ru to realize she had lost her temper.

She hastily controlled her facial expressions.

Bowing her head, she spoke in a soft and gentle tone:

"...I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well and have been especially irritable.

My mother-in-law keeps nagging, and I impulsively threw the beans away. It’s my fault..."

In this impoverished and rough place of Dongfeng Brigade, the villagers were incredibly united.

She didn’t know what Widow Jin and Gougou had told everyone, but they guarded against her as if she were a thief.

There was a time she made it all the way to the entrance of the village.

But she was caught and dragged back by Gougou because someone in the village had snitched on her.

Since then, Gougou had been watching her even more closely!

If she wanted to leave this place, she first had to earn the trust of Gougou and his mother; otherwise, not even knowing the roads, she wouldn’t be able to run away.

Xia Ru rarely softened,, but although Gougou was annoyed with her for wasting food, he wouldn’t really punish her.

As his anger subsided, he said:

"As long as you know what you did was wrong.

Mother hit you,, but you were the one who messed up first.

From now on, you should learn the household chores from mother."

His mother was right;, one wouldn’t have idle thoughts if one was tired from work.

The trouble his wife had caused was purely the result of having too much idle time!

Upon hearing this, Xia Ru’s gaze darkened.

"...Alright, I understand."

She had to endure it for now!

Everything would wait until she found a way out.

Watching as Gougou and his bride entered their home—

Widow Jin assured the villagers, "Don’t worry, everyone, I’ll make sure Gougou keeps a close eye on her."

After speaking, she turned her head, her face full of shame, and went back home.

As soon as she stepped through the gate, she saw her son coming out of the house.

"...Did that wench cause trouble for you? If she dares to bother you, tell me, and I’ll discipline her for you."

The Widow Jin’s voice lifted slightly, so Xia Ru in the room heard everything clearly.

Gougou beat around the bush to plead for his wife, cheerfully saying:

"Mom, my wife knows she was wrong, please forgive her this once.

She said that from now on, she will learn to do chores around the house and share your burdens."

"She’d better," Widow Jin said dissatisfiedly.

"Some people are fortunate enough to enjoy the fruits of having a daughter-in-law.

Only I am so unlucky, even with a son who’s married, I still have to endure hardship and toil.

It’s like I owed you both in a previous life!"

She was covered in patched-up clothing, and her face was full of wrinkles.

Pitying herself like this, she genuinely looked quite miserable.

Gougou hastily sweet-talked her: "Other families are other families, our family is our family, and no other family has a mom as capable as you."

Widow Jin bloomed joyfully at the flattery, delighted beyond measure.

"...Only you know how to speak such nice words," she said.

Xia Ru, hearing this shameless mother and son from inside the house, curled her lip, full of disdain.

Such bumpkins!

Thinking about how the brigade was going to Shuangshan Brigade tomorrow to exchange beans, she started to concoct a plan.

Lin Tang had caused her to lose her support; now that she had fallen into such circumstances, was her desire for revenge satisfied?

The pressing matter at hand was to seize the opportunity to go to the Shuangshan Brigade.

Whether she could leave the Dongfeng Brigade depended on that.

If Lin Tang were to rescue her from this misery, then their debts of gratitude and grievances would be erased.

She wondered if her mother had looked for her and if she still waited for her to come live in her dormitory!

What Xia Ru did not know was that Dong Xiaolian returned home the day after their bitter parting.

What she saw was a wreck of a scene.

The few remaining possessions in the house had been burned; the money was gone, Xia Ru’s belongings too.

Faced with that scene, it was hard for Dong Xiaolian not to believe her daughter had run off.

With her husband imprisoned and her daughter supposedly having taken the money and fled, her heart was filled with desolation.

Returning to her unit was nerve-racking.

Left with no choice, she applied for a transfer to a remote area.

Therefore, even if Xia Ru were to return to the county, she would have nowhere to stay.

The affairs of the Xia Family did not concern Lin Tang, nor did she care about them.

At that moment, the Lin Family received a letter from Lin Weiguo, who was serving in the military.

The entire family was overjoyed.

Seeing her great-aunt silently crying, and thinking about her cousin who hadn’t returned for many years, Lin Tang’s heart grew heavy too.

"Great-Aunt, it is good news that Brother Weiguo has sent a letter home, why are you crying?

If my brother knew, it would ache his heart!"

Gao Ping had sobbed heavily at home upon receiving her eldest son’s letter.

Now, at her second son’s home, she was once again preoccupied with thoughts of her eldest, who never knew warmth or cold, and she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Oh, how her heart ached!

After all, he was the first child born from her womb.

Away from home all year round.

Always placing his life on the line.

How could she, as a mother, not worry and ache for him?

Hearing Tangtang’s words and realizing her own lapse in composure, Gao Ping quickly wiped away her tears.

"Embarrassing you all like this, I just..." she said, feeling ashamed.

Lin Tang shook her head and said, "Brother Weiguo is your flesh and blood, great-aunt; mother and son are bound by heart; how could you not miss him after so many years?

We all understand, there’s no need for explanations from you, great-aunt."

The situation there was not good.

Border conflicts were frequent.

And who in the family wouldn’t be anxiously concerned?!

Hearing Lin Tang’s consoling words, Gao Ping felt an indescribable comfort in her heart.

Looking at Li Xiuli, she said, "Daughters are the ones who warm the heart! Unlike my sons, none of them knows how to say anything nice, they only know how to upset me."

Lin Aiguo, who had just bought three pounds of meat for the family, "..."

How was he not considerate?

Buying meat to nourish his elderly parents’ health was considerate, wasn’t it?
