Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Malicious Instigation

And so, Ding Hu returned home with nothing, only to get a thorough scolding from his mother-in-law’s family.

"Spent so much money going out to work, but just stepped out and came back, not a cent earned, instead losing a few hundred! Tell me, are you even a human? You’re just like a pig!"

"You should really think about what’s the value of living like you do! If I were you, I would’ve died a long time ago! Bah!" Mr. Liu finished cursing and went for a smoke.

Liu Mei was also disgusted to death, wondering how she ended up choosing such an idiot!

This whole winter, Ding Hu didn’t have it good, getting scolded like a grandson every day, and was kicked off the bed by his wife several times, not daring to complain, being very compliant.

Today was New Year’s Eve, and he got scolded again by Mrs. Liu for not cooking the dumplings well.

Liu Mei said, "Just looking at you irritates me! Even on this festive day, you’re a nuisance here, get back to your own home for dinner and let us have some peace! Useless thing!"

Liu Mei’s parents didn’t speak on his behalf, they were very dissatisfied with this son-in-law, silent in nature, not quite up to mark, and most importantly, they’ve been together for so long and their daughter still isn’t pregnant! The initial reason for bringing him in was just to have a child, but so long after the marriage, their daughter’s belly isn’t showing any signs. He eats quite a lot but can’t accomplish any household tasks. Even going out to work he can lose money! Raising such waste is truly a waste of grain!

If it weren’t for their daughter being really unattractive and having a bad character, they would’ve had the two divorce long ago.

So, humiliated, Ding Hu was driven out, walking back towards his own home. A live-in son-in-law can’t spend the New Year at home, and since his place is so poor, probably without anything good to eat, he’s a thousand times unwilling to go back, but it’s still better than freezing to death on the road, right? So he walked towards his home.

He met Sun Lijuan head-on, but Ding Hu ignored her, wanting to walk around her, but Sun Lijuan stopped him, raising her arms to block his path, looking at him with a smile.

"Wait up."

Ding Hu looked at her in confusion, "What do you want?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Hehe, with the way I am now, what could we possibly talk about?"

Sun Lijuan laughed, "We’ve lived in the same village for quite a while, we’re friends, I’m just concerned about you."

Ding Hu suddenly lifted his head, glaring at Sun Lijuan fiercely, his eyes filled with hatred!

Back then, the one who egged him on to break up with Sun Chan and get involved with Liu Mei was this vile woman!

He raised his hand with intent to hit her, but thinking about it, if he truly did, and Sun Lijuan stirred up trouble at Liu Mei’s home, it wouldn’t be any good for him. So he could only lower his hand and try to walk past her.

Now he’s physically and mentally exhausted, aging a decade overnight, and although Liu Mei’s family has a bit of money, they’re just an average countryside family, and after marrying, he gained nothing, treated like a mule every day, long devoid of any spirit.

Sun Lijuan said, "Do you want to go find Sun Chan with me?"

Ding Hu froze, standing still staring at Sun Lijuan, "What did you say?"

"I’m going to find Sun Chan after the New Year, she’s selling fruits now, living well, dressed nicely, looking increasingly pretty, as her sister, seeing her do well, I’m also quite envious. Want to check it out?"

If Sun Chan gets ruined by this guy, she definitely wouldn’t live, she’s in trouble, it’s my good days then!

Ding Hu thought for a while, then chuckled; "You don’t get along with Sun Chan, trying to use me? Let me tell you, I’m not getting involved! I finally see through you, you made us separate not for my good, just to make her unhappy, when she’s unhappy, you are happy? You really think I’m a fool, huh? Now you’ve ended up like this, no matter how jealous, there’s no use, your sister simply has a better destiny than you, hah, thinking you can outrun her?"

Sun Lijuan’s face turned pale, she couldn’t believe Ding Hu had such thoughts?

Since she was young, she couldn’t stand Sun Chan, prettier than herself, with skillful hands, more popular in the village, it made her seethe, just a bastard, huh? Deserves all your praises? So she seized every chance to bully Sun Chan.

Zhao Xiuxia also didn’t care, after all, picking Sun Chan initially was for her own son to have a wife, with her son dead, just waiting to sell her at a good price at the right age, who cares about her well-being? Seeing Ding Hu with Sun Chan unsettled Sun Lijuan, also worried about fetching a lower price, considering his family’s poverty, so she meddled in breaking them apart.

Sun Lijuan, unwilling to give up, smiled lightly, "I don’t care about what you think; you say it’s not, but... you’ll feel it, won’t you? But are you really okay with seeing someone you once liked living with someone else? Now Sun Chan’s living city-like, quite elegant, even her fiancé is a city leader’s son, something you gave up, now thriving, you have no feelings?" Sun Lijuan’s tone was sour, filled with jealousy.

Why is that vile one’s life so good! I’m just slightly less attractive than her, not much worse! She hasn’t studied much either! Why does she have such luck! And thinking of last time she tried to frame Gu Junming, thwarted, with Gu Junming’s icy gaze, and Sun Chan’s mocking smile, she wanted to find a hole and hide.

Without even having a child, forever losing the right to be a mother... her hatred was finally uncontainable.

But Ding Hu chuckled coldly, "Stop with all your nonsense! We’ve found our partners, I lack ability, and I admit it! I wronged her back then, her good life is a gift from heaven. You inciting me to go to her? Just don’t constantly envy your sister, quit backstabbing, aren’t you afraid of karma!"

Ding Hu was so fed up that he didn’t want to deal with Sun Lijuan, heading straight outside.

Sun Lijuan yelled, "You’ll just live your life taking crap at Liu Mei’s home, that’s all you’ll amount to, loser!" Then she angrily rushed home, frozen dead!

Ding Hu quickened his pace with a few steps, but slowly his pace gradually stopped. What Sun Lijuan said actually made quite a bit of sense.

Am I really destined to live as a live-in son-in-law forever?

Sun Chan now has her own business, if I can reconcile with her, we could partner up for some business in the future, she’d put up the money, I’d manage the stand, live together for a while, and once settled in the city, with money, I’ll divorce Liu Mei and marry Sun Chan.

Never having to live with those fools who look down on me again!
