Chapter 345: Chapter 333 Chen Qiuyu’s Reluctance

It’s no wonder then, what man can tolerate being cuckolded? And to top it off, money was stolen...

Lu Jinsheng immediately found himself unable to sympathize with the woman before him.

His sister had said, "The third party who destroys someone else’s family is not only shameless but also undeserving of sympathy—whether it be a man or a woman."

He watched the drama unfold before him with a clear conscience, thankful that he hadn’t impulsively stepped forward just now.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiuyu lay curled up on the ground, desperately protecting her head and face, feeling a surge of unwillingness. The blows raining down on her body made every part ache, to the point of numbness. The coppery sweet taste in her mouth starkly reminded her of what she was going through.

She remembered that in her previous life, it was because of a beating at this time that she not only miscarried the child in her womb, labeled a bastard, but also lost her ability to conceive.

It was also for this reason that her ex-husband’s family did not dare to continue pestering her to return the eighty thousand yuan, but instead decisively ended the marriage.

A sneer formed on Chen Qiuyu’s lips, and her eyes grew cold. This made her think of her parents, who were extremely cold-hearted and saw nothing but money.

At this moment, her callous parents were scared of her ex-husband’s family demanding repayment, so even though nearly the entire village had come to watch her get beaten so miserably, they pretended to be ostriches and later claimed to her they were unaware of the situation.

To believe them again in this lifetime would be absurd—

She then remembered that even after she was rushed to the hospital due to heavy bleeding, they remained indifferent because of the expense and didn’t even visit the hospital.

Only after they heard that she had to have her uterus removed because the doctors couldn’t save it did her parents put on a show and clung to her ex-husband’s family, making a huge scene to extort money.

Unfortunately, eighty thousand was not a small sum at the time, and her ex-husband’s family, having lost both face and money and seeing no danger to her life—thus no risk of being charged with murder—were not afraid of her parents’ ruckus. On the contrary, they cried in the hospital, preferring to lose face over spending more money, causing those who had originally sympathized with her to look at her with disdain.

Given the adamant stance of her ex-husband’s family, her money-grubbing parents realized they couldn’t gain anything and left in disgruntlement. In the end, they wouldn’t even step into her hospital room, as if afraid of being tainted by her, and later justified it as not wanting to benefit her ex-husband’s family by imposing on them...

Back then, her ex-husband’s family was still willing to take care of her, paying her hospital bills and leaving a bag of dry cornmeal cakes every few days before swiftly leaving, all because they feared being implicated if she truly died.

Her experience in the hospital was once thought to be the biggest nightmare of her life—every day at mealtime, she had to plead with other patients or nurses to fetch some hot water so she could soften the rough cornmeal cakes and swallow them down.

At first, when people saw her in such a state, there were those who sympathized with her. They shared some hot soup, water, and food with her, but once they learned of her actions, the sympathy vanished. Everyone began to look at her with disdain, with eyes that one would use to look at something filthy.

Back then, those strange glances from others were so distressing that she felt she could hardly bear to live. But as she grew accustomed to such looks, she gradually started to care less and less.

It wasn’t until she was old and bedridden, unable to move, quenching her thirst with rainwater dripping into her mouth, and reminiscing about a coarse corn cake in her hunger, that she realized at least back in the hospital, she was able to fill her stomach. That wasn’t the worst it could have been...

Even if it wasn’t the worst, she would never want to live through this life again.

Chen Qiuyu’s gaze hardened as she thought about how in her last life she had actually believed her parents’ words, harboring a bit of hope for them. When she returned to Yushu Village, she even listened to them and spent the second half of her life there, relying on seducing the idlers and lechers in the village to get a bite to eat. Most of the money she made was given to her parents who squandered it on lavish eating, drinking, and gambling until it was all gone.

As a result, she was left alone in her old age, unattractive and uncared for, eventually falling ill and impoverished, scarcely able to get food, and dying desolately in a drafty, leaky house.

How resentful she felt, Chen Qiuyu clutched her face tighter. No matter what, she would not be that foolish in this life. She had to leave this small village. At all costs, she would depart and start anew somewhere where no one else knew about her.

She planned to find a rich and powerful man who, while she was still young and her face could still make a man cherish her, would willingly spend a great deal of money for her, so she could cling to a life with money on the side.

In this life, she absolutely could not gamble again; it was a bottomless pit that no amount of money or possessions could fill. And as for children, why bother? What was the use of all the effort to raise sons and daughters?

At critical moments, one could not rely on their children either, just like her second brother. He managed to live a decent life outside, but what of it? He was still unwilling to return, to take care of the parents or their older brother who was paralyzed.

Thinking about her older brother, who was still healthy and not yet paralyzed, she sneered. Indifferently, she thought, what did that have to do with her? Her own calamity had unfolded without seeing either brother come to her aid. Why should she concern herself with their deaths?

That home was a bottomless pit, and in this life, she was determined to stay as far away from it as possible. Only money was truly important—later, even if things were not going well, she could still enter a nursing home with money, get a better room, be taken care of, anything was better than ending up like she did in her last life.

It was only when Chen Qiuyu thought of this that a smile finally broke through the hands tightly covering her face, but it scattered in an instant. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with even greater resentment.

Why, why?

If the heavens had taken pity on her and granted her another chance at life, why did they throw her into this moment in time? Why not earlier when she had left here with that eighty thousand yuan? Or even a little later, when the eighty thousand yuan hadn’t been completely spent?

Chen Qiuyu’s face twisted with outrage, and at that moment she felt a fierce kick to her stomach, followed by a sharp pain, as a warm liquid began to flow from her lower abdomen...
