Chapter 94 Drive That Wretch Lin Xiaodou Away

Seeing her son like this, Mother Liu felt a pang of compassion.

Father Liu said, “Leave him be. Let’s go.”

“Dad!!” Brother Liu’s voice was miserable and helpless.

Father Liu shot him a glare, his tone full of disappointment. “If you beg once more, you can leave the Liu family too—I’ll no longer acknowledge you as my son!”

With that, Father Liu led Mother Liu and the others away.

Lin Xiaodou walked last. Just as she stepped out of the hospital room, she heard a sharp slap from within.

“Useless! You can’t even handle your parents!”

“Wife… please don’t be angry… it’s bad for the child in your belly…”

Lin Xiaodou shook her head speechlessly. Brother Liu truly was beyond saving—a henpecked coward. He and Sister-in-law Liu were a perfect match. Let them be locked together, so they wouldn’t go on to ruin anyone else’s life.

…

On the way back to the village.

The brigade leader, Father Liu, took the initiative to apologize to Lin Xiaodou, “Xiaodou, I’m sorry. Our Liu family nearly brought harm to you.”

“Uncle, this isn’t your fault. You don’t need to apologize to me.”

Father Liu sighed, “That son of mine was raised for nothing. He can’t distinguish right from wrong, always shielding his wife.”

Mother Liu rubbed her temples, her face full of bitterness. “Whenever I think of him, my heart aches. How could such an obedient, filial son change so much after marriage? I just can’t understand.”

Liu Yan’er muttered, “My brother listens to Sister-in-law too much. He’s completely lost himself.”

Mother Liu snorted, “Sister-in-law? Tomorrow they’ll be divorced. From now on, don’t mention her in front of me!”

Liu Yan’er was surprised. “Mom, weren’t you just venting in the hospital?”

Mother Liu replied, “Venting? That woman keeps causing trouble. Our family can’t tolerate her any longer!”

Father Liu nodded. “Yes, this time we mustn’t soften our hearts.”

Too much compassion leads to disaster.

If not for Xiaodou learning of their plan and turning the tables, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Liu Yan’er scratched her head. “What about the child she’s carrying…”

Heaven knows, she truly didn’t want to speak for that woman. She was only afraid her parents would act impulsively and later regret it.

“We don’t want it!”

Speaking of the unborn grandson, Father and Mother Liu felt a stab of pain, but better a short pain than a long one.

With a daughter-in-law like hers, she’d only use the child as leverage to threaten them, stirring up chaos in the Liu household. It would be nothing but trouble.

Better not to let the child be born, sparing them a lifetime of suffering.

“That’s great! I really can’t stand that woman!” Liu Yan’er cheered, her face brimming with smiles.

Father Liu looked at Lin Xiaodou. “Xiaodou, once my son divorces her tomorrow, you can handle things as you see fit.”

His words meant they would no longer be partial to Sister-in-law Liu; Xiaodou could decide what to do.

Lin Xiaodou had never intended to let the main culprits off the hook. She nodded immediately. “Alright, I understand.”

Blackstone Village, the Youth Courtyard.

Chen Guang returned when night had already fallen.

The others in the courtyard had finished dinner and were gathered in the hall, chatting by the fire.

Seeing him return, someone asked, “Chen Guang, have you eaten?”

“I have. I’m going to rest,” Chen Guang replied without lifting his head, heading to his room to lie down.

In truth, he hadn’t eaten, but he had no appetite now.

Thinking of the mess that happened this afternoon, he felt anxious. What he thought would be a simple act of heroism nearly turned into a crime scene.

By now, he understood everything.

It was Chu Ling—she had set him up!

“Damn it, I wasn’t even being flirtatious, nor did I offend her. Why won’t she leave me alone?”

Chen Guang couldn’t figure it out, his mind a tangled mess.

Lin Xiaodou, that crazy woman, wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She’d been provoked today and would certainly not let him off easily.

What to do…

Worrying himself to sleep, Chen Guang drifted off.

In the middle of the night, half-awake, he felt something gnawing at his face.

He heard rapid snorting beside his ear.

Chen Guang suddenly opened his eyes, meeting the gaze of a pair of pig eyes.

“Ahhh!” Chen Guang screamed in shock.

He realized he’d somehow been dumped into the brigade’s pigsty.

The air reeked, and a fat pig kept nudging him.

He trembled, trying to get up, only to find his legs were broken—he couldn’t move at all.

“Help! Is anyone there? Help!!”

His cries echoed throughout the pigsty, but this place was far from the village—no one would come at night.

At the pigsty entrance, Lin Xiaodou sneered coldly.

Chen Guang might have been tricked by Chu Ling, but he was hardly innocent—selfish and ruthless, he’d do anything for his own gain.

In her previous life, Chu Ling’s tragic death owed much to him.

She’d hoped for mutual non-interference, but he kept testing her patience.

Before, she’d only given him a beating; today, she’d broken his legs.

Since he wanted a wife so badly, let him marry an old sow.

Having taken revenge on Chen Guang, it was time for the next family.

Lin Xiaodou gazed into the distance…

…

Meanwhile, at the Han household.

In their room, Chu Ling and Han Guoqiang were still awake.

After returning from the town clinic, Chu Ling had been sulking, refusing to speak to Han Guoqiang.

She hadn’t cooked dinner, simply went to her room to rest.

Han Guoqiang had to cook, care for his mother and sister, and after more than an hour, went to urge Chu Ling to eat.

Chu Ling was upset that Han Guoqiang hadn’t comforted her immediately, so she stubbornly refused to eat.

Seeing her so obstinate, Han Guoqiang grew angry too.

Neither spoke, both lying back to back, eyes open.

Chu Ling, having skipped dinner, felt her stomach rumble in the middle of the night.

Han Guoqiang heard it, but made no move.

Chu Ling, feeling aggrieved, began to weep quietly.

Finally, Han Guoqiang couldn’t take it; he turned and pulled her into his arms.

“Wife, don’t be angry. I’ll go make you some noodles.”

“I’m not hungry. I won’t eat!” Chu Ling retorted stubbornly.

He still hadn’t apologized, and she couldn’t let go of her resentment.

Han Guoqiang sighed and softened. “I’m sorry, wife. So much happened today, and I didn’t protect you right away.”

Hearing this, most of Chu Ling’s anger melted away.

But she still insisted, “I was beaten so badly by those two vile women, and you didn’t help at all. You’re not a real man!”

Han Guoqiang frowned, “It was a fight between women, and with the brigade leader present, I couldn’t intervene. Imagine what people would say.”

“Hmph!” Chu Ling snorted in displeasure.

Han Guoqiang said, “Alright, don’t be angry. I promise I’ll avenge you.”

“Really?” Chu Ling turned to look into his eyes and said, “Guoqiang, I want Lin Xiaodou to suffer so much she can’t live or die. Can you do that?!”

Han Guoqiang’s eyes deepened. “I can. That was my plan all along.”

He’d already been scheming to give Lin Xiaodou a lesson, just hadn’t expected his wife to act so soon.

“I heard there’s a gang in the black market that forces women into prostitution. Those men are ruthless, their hands stained with blood.”

“These past days, I’ve been tracking them, hoping to strike a deal.”

Chu Ling’s eyes lit up. “You mean, you want them to deal with Lin Xiaodou?”

Han Guoqiang replied, “Yes. Lin Xiaodou is so beautiful—they won’t let her go.”

‘Dealing with men’s business’ meant forcing women into prostitution.

Such filthy, shameful work—no woman could bear it.

Imagining Lin Xiaodou about to face such cruelty, Chu Ling couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

“That’s wonderful! Guoqiang, make sure you find those people soon and get rid of Lin Xiaodou as quickly as possible!”

Just as she finished speaking, the window was suddenly thrown open…
