Chapter 334: Chapter 338: The Tampered Life (20)

Qiao Xiaoxiao (extra)

After another brutal beating, Qiao Xiaoxiao curled up in a corner, hugging her head and not daring to move for a long time.

"My son will bring his wife and son back later, you’d better clean up quickly, or watch out for my fists."

Sun Mazi waved his fist unapologetically.

He was enraged again after being blackmailed by the Qiao Family for a few bucks.

And he took it out on Qiao Xiaoxiao when he got back.

Such incidents occurred frequently.

Sun Mazi actually had some regrets. Getting involved with the Qiao Family was like getting stuck to leeches that couldn’t be shaken off.

In a moment of anger, Sun Lin had run away, and Sun Mazi, in a moment of confusion, didn’t disdain that Qiao Xiaoxiao was a woman his son had already been with and took her as his own wife directly.

The Qiao Family used this to threaten him, occasionally fleecing him, which annoyed him to no end.

In truth, he was audacious beyond measure. If outsiders found out, they could drown him in a spit.

He had no choice but to approach the Qiao Family’s parents and, through much pleading, got them to agree to tell others,

that there had been a mistake, that Qiao Xiaoxiao was married to Sun Mazi.

Since there was no wedding, and nobody but Sun Family father and son knew about Qiao Xiaoxiao’s consummation with Sun Lin,

this at least put up a façade of decency.

But everyone in the village knew what was going on.

They all watched the Qiao Family and the Sun Family as a joke.

The fact that one woman was claimed twice, by a father and son no less, was utterly ridiculous.

Since it didn’t concern them, they hung back and nobody played the role of a crusader for justice.

Even though it’s no longer fashionable to follow the edict of parental matchmaking, and self-choice in marriage is advocated on the outside...

In the countryside, the old rules still ruled.

It was just a pity for the girl, Qiao Xiaoxiao.

-------------

After Sun Mazi left, Qiao Xiaoxiao somberly climbed up from the ground.

Her spirit seemed somewhat abnormal now, mumbling to herself, speaking unintelligibly, her eyes also not quite right.

But nobody knew.

Sun Mazi walked out the door, and casually locked the gate to the courtyard.

At first, it was to prevent Qiao Xiaoxiao from running away, but now it became second nature.

Sometimes he would not come back for days, forgetting that there was a living person in the house.

Qiao Xiaoxiao would have to endure hunger.

Because the key to the grain store was also in Sun Mazi’s hands.

Qiao Xiaoxiao, dragging a somewhat heavy leg, took a rag and wiped down the sparse belongings in the house.

She was scared from the beatings and dared not disobey Sun Mazi anymore.

If she had followed Sun Lin at that time, it would have been better than being mistreated by Sun Mazi now.

She had forgotten; Sun Lin, although a ruffian in his earlier days, seemed to have made something of himself later on.

If she had known, what was the point of being so prideful back then.

A look of regret appeared on Qiao Xiaoxiao’s face, only to be replaced by anger the next second.

How could someone like Sun Mazi, that scum... How could he treat her like this...

She was going to kill him, kill him...

The expression on Qiao Xiaoxiao’s face kept changing, as if she had several people hidden inside her.

When a drunken Sun Mazi came back, he kicked over the table in the house and picked up a wooden stick, ready to take his anger out on Qiao Xiaoxiao.

He didn’t notice the change in the person before him when the stick hit Qiao Xiaoxiao.

The next second, he met his tragedy.

A shovel smashed directly onto his head, bursting it open.

His head literally bloomed.

Sun Mazi didn’t even get a chance to cry out before he fell to the ground, with white and red matter spilling all over the place.

Qiao Xiaoxiao didn’t stop. She shoveled again and again until the muscles in her arms were too sore to lift, and only then did she stop.

By that time, Sun Mazi’s body had turned into a pile of minced flesh.

Several days later, the neighbors living nearby began to smell the foul stench coming from the Sun Family’s home, and Sun Mazi hadn’t been seen for a while.

Out of curiosity, they climbed over the wall to take a look.

They were nearly frightened out of their wits and ran away in utter terror, with their pants drenched in yellow fluid.

Such a horrifying scene would give anyone nightmares.

Qiao Xiaoxiao sat crazily in front of Sun Mazi’s unrecognizable body, muttering to herself nonstop.

One moment she said she had been admitted to a university, the next she claimed she had married Chen Yajun...

She’d laugh a bit, then start wailing at the top of her lungs.

Maggots had started crawling over Sun Mazi’s body, with more than half of his head gone; even his face was indiscernible.

Because Sun Mazi had beaten and kicked Qiao Xiaoxiao every day, the sound of crying never stopped.

Yet shockingly, the surrounding neighbors hadn’t noticed anything amiss for several days.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoxiao’s insane state, the villagers speculated whether the Sun Family had provoked some unclean presence.

After Qiao Xiaoxiao was taken away by the police, the village chief even invited someone who could perform rituals to conduct a ceremony.

In the last moments of her life, Qiao Xiaoxiao’s muddled mind suddenly became clear.

Reviewing everything she had done since reincarnating, she regretted not doing things differently.

She was wrong... If given another chance, she would live a good life.

As her eyes closed for the final time, she expressed a hope: In her next life, she would definitely not be jealous of Su Li.

But an opportunity for reincarnation, having even one was a great blessing given by the heavens; Qiao Xiaoxiao had failed to grasp it, and there definitely wouldn’t be another one.

--------------

"Sister, several silly scholars have come to the remote temple; it’s so amusing."

When Su Li opened her eyes again, what she heard was a voice laden with seductive charm to the bone.

"Yes, those scholars look like paragons of virtue, but in reality, all it takes is a little seduction, and they’re like dogs."

Then several giggles followed.

It sounded like a few sisters were joking around.

Yet when Su Li actually looked over, she couldn’t help but show a trace of collapse in her expression.

The few charming young girls who had spoken were actually a group of demons.

Looking at the parts of their bodies they revealed, one could distinguish their true forms.

A rabbit, a fox, a wild chicken...

Dare I say, along with their coquettish looks, there was an entirely different kind of wild charm.

It was exactly what those with unique tastes, the most fond of hunting, loved.

Glancing back at herself...

Su Li: "..."

A thick, slick tail swayed across the ground in tune with her shattered heart.

"Sister, are you upset? Is it because of Cuicui..."

The especially lively Rabbit Spirit perked up her ears in agitation.

Before she could continue, the Wild Chicken Spirit pulled her aside and quietly reminded, "Stop talking now."

The fast-talking Rabbit Spirit then remembered that Cuicui was the most beloved by their sister among them.

That kind of criticism, their sister did not like to hear...

Seeing Su Li silent for a long time, the Rabbit Spirit who had spoken recklessly felt like crying and apologized miserably, "Sorry, I... I shouldn’t have mentioned Cuicui."

Su Li looked at the droopy ears that seemed soft and inviting to touch: how much she wanted to stroke them...

Her hand, like the thought in her heart, reached out at the same time.
