Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: Deserved to be Beaten to Death!

The family door was tightly shut, and no matter how much Madam Zhou called out, not only did no one come to open the door, there wasn’t even the creak of a sound!

Madam Zhou thought that her family had all gone to visit relatives, so she decided to ask the next-door neighbor where they had gone so she could find them. Little did she know, she would receive a response that was all too real.

Her family hadn’t gone out at all; they were all at home, simply not wanting to let her in.

And the neighbor looked at her with full-faced disdain, not even regarding her as a person.

Because everyone knew that she had gone to live in the countryside with her husband, and now she didn’t have a single copper coin to her name. She had walked all the way, hoping to ask for a bowl of water at a neighbor’s house, only to be scorned by her own family’s neighbors as too dirty to even be given a drink of water!

Out of options, she could only return the way she had come; the only place left for her was the Zhou family’s home.

Yet, before she had even reached Ya Village, she was ambushed by someone appearing out of nowhere, who bagged her head with a sack and then proceeded to beat and kick her mercilessly.

She cried out in agony until she felt as if her bones were going to fall apart before the person finally left.

By the time she managed to remove the sack from her head, enduring the pain, there was no one else in sight—only she was left on the road.

"Liu Yuyang, it’s only your daughter I’ve harmed a few times, what’s the big deal?!" she said viciously as she threw the sack onto the ground, grinding her teeth.

"It’s all your own fault for having lost your daughter in the first place. A heartless mother like you—there must not be another one in the whole world, huh? Humph, now you come to stand up for Lin Caisang. Where were you before?

"Having a mother like you, who comes and goes as she pleases, Lin Caisang really hit bad luck for eight generations. A woman with a poisonous heart like yours deserves to die childless and spend her lifetime alone in a nunnery!"

As she cursed, she forced herself to stand up, despite the pain.

Having sunk to this level, aside from cursing others with her words, there was nothing else she could do.

...

Zhou family.

When Feng Yurui and Lie Ming got the news and came back, they heard Elder Mr. Zhou howling in his room. As she returned to her own room, Feng Yurui saw her husband, Zhou Liang, who had regained consciousness but was unable to utter a word.

She sat on the edge of the bed, scoffing as she looked at Zhou Liang’s leg, which had already been splinted with two pieces of wood by the doctor.

"You’ve come to this sorry state and still don’t know how to behave. Zhou Liang, you really... deserve to be beaten to death!"

As she spoke, she reached out for those two pieces of wood and began to squeeze them together.

"Eh—"

Zhou Liang’s eyes bulged instantly, as if they were about to pop out, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ugh, ah, ah, mmm!"

Unable to voice out a cry for help, he could only shake his head frantically at Feng Yurui, begging her to stop torturing him.

"Hmph, serves you right."

Feng Yurui snorted with derision and withdrew her hand.

It’s only when people like him are near death that they realize who they should not have provoked.

Come to think of it, even that little girl Lin Caisang didn’t dare to mess with a daughter of a governor like her, yet he had the audacity to hope to marry Lin Caisang into the family? What a daydream!

"You stay here then, waiting for your mother to take care of you, hmph."

Standing up, she left the room.
