Now, the entire Zhou Family Village was counting on Zhou Anshan and his wife to earn money.
Someone couldnât help but ask, âAnshanâs wife, what happened?â
Han Xiang walked into the house in a daze.
Before the veil was removed, she could still rely on Han Qiaoâs power to do whatever she wanted in the village and her in-lawsâ family. Now, she had nothing.
âIâll get Ah-Xiang to ask around. The deal wonât be delayed. Donât worry, everyone.â Zhou Anshan kept explaining.
Actually, there was nothing he could do about it.
Without Zhou Anshan to buy firewood and other things, they had no place to sell them.
It was very cheap to send it to the county or town. It was not worth it.
âYou must ask Anshan.â
âThere is no such thing as a grudge between sisters. Let your wife apologize properly. They are sisters at the end of the day, and she will definitely forgive her.â
âYes, yes.â
Outsiders didnât know what the couple had done.
Some people were suspicious, but they didnât dare to say it.
Zhou Anshan was panicking.
He said something that he himself did not believe and comforted the villagers to go home first.
When the courtyard was empty, he entered the house slowly.
He only saw a pair of feet dangling in front of him, and he was so scared that he screamed, âAh-Xiang.â
He hurried and carried Han Xiang down.
âAh-Xiang, Ah-Xiangâ¦!â
It took Han Xiang a while to regain her senses. She looked at Zhou Anshan and was stunned for a moment.
âZhou Anshan, why do you think weâve come to this? Am I insensible, or is your Zhou family too greedy? Every time I want to change, you will use all kinds of methods to torture me and instigate me to do things that harm others and not myself.â
âAt that moment just now, I wanted to die.â
âYou shouldnât have saved me.â
Zhou Anshan immediately cried.
The young couple had been together hand in hand and had two sons. Now, Han Xiang was pregnant with one. How could they not have any feelings for each other? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, Zhou Anshan was even more afraid that after Han Xiang died, the Han family would come knocking on his door.
The disparity in wealth and reputation meant that the Zhou family could not gain any advantage.
âI was wrong, but I did it for our family and for the two children.â
Han Xiang cried her heart out.
Her heart was in a panic.
âI want to gain more, but we lose more because of our greed.â
Even As Han Xiang spoke, tears began to flow out of her eyes.
âI wasnât like this in the past.â
Han Xiang was so regretful that her intestines turned green.
Then, she suddenly widened her eyes.
This was not the first time she had felt such remorseâ¦
She always played the same trick, doing more and more vicious things, making people hate her.
She pushed Zhou Anshan away and glared at him with hatred, âZhou Anshan, itâs you. You destroyed me.â
Zhou Anshan looked at Han Xiang, who seemed to have gone mad, and a vicious feeling flashed through his heart.
âYou blame me?â He cursed without any scruples. âWhat right do you have to blame me for all this? You did it yourself. Han Xiang, donât deny it. Youâre a vicious person who canât stand to see your sister doing well. Donât think I donât know that you want to marry a scholar, you despise me for being a farmer, and youâre thinking about your ex-brother-in-law.â
âNonsense,â Han Xiangâs expression changed.
There were some things that she could lie to herself if she didnât say them out loud.
However, after someone said it out in the open, that layer of cover was gone.
âNonsense? You were thinking about Sun Yiming in the past, and now youâre thinking about Heng Yi. Donât think I donât know what youâre thinking. You can hide it from others, but you canât hide it from me.â Zhou Anshanâs red eyes
He couldnât compare to Sun Yiming. No matter how bad Sun Yiming was, that man was still a scholar.
He couldnât compare to Heng Yi either.
Heng Yi had been an official before, so he had money.
He was so jealous.
âShut up, shut up!â Han Xiang screamed and pounced on Zhou Anshan.
Zhou Anshanâs face was scratched a few times.
While he was still in a daze, Mother Zhou pounced on Han Xiang, grabbed her, and gave her a few hard slaps.
Han Xiang came back to her senses and started fighting with Mother Zhou.
Han Xiang was pregnant, so she was no match for Mother Zhou, who worked all day long. Soon, she was beaten black and blue by her mother-in-law.
Mother Zhou didnât dare to beat Han Xiang to death.
She was about to get up when Han Xiang grabbed her hair.
Then, her ear was bitten.
âAHH!â
When the scream rang out, the stunned Zhou Anshan hurriedly grabbed Han Xiang, âAh Xiang, let go, let go!â
Han Xiang bit Mother Zhouâs ear tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Anshan had no choice but to raise his hand and hit Han Xiang on the head.
PA, PA, PA!
One slap after another.
Han Xiangâs head buzzed.
Outside the house came the cries of two children.
The eldest son cried and pounced on him, âStop it! Stop hitting my mother!â
The elder son cried, and his younger brother cried.
Mother Zhou wailed in pain. Zhou Anshan tried to coax his wife, but Han Xiang seemed to have gone crazy and refused to let go.
When the villagers came over, they saw Zhou Anshan and Mother Zhou beating Han Xiang together.
Han Xiangâs body was covered in blood, and the room was filled with an iron scent.
It was an extremely terrifying sight.
An aunt went forward to pull her away. After she finally managed to pull Han Xiang away, she bit off one of Mother Zhouâs ears.
Mother Zhou cried out in pain. She then kicked Han Xiang a few times, âIâll beat you to death, you b*tch!â
The eldest son rushed forward and hugged Han Xiang. He shouted at Mother Zhou, âYouâre not allowed to hit my mother! Youâre not allowed to hit my mother!â
Mother Zhou came back to her senses.
Seeing that Han Xiang was on the verge of death and covered in blood, she was shocked.
Zhou Anshan was already so stunned that he could not find his soul.
Someone had already rushed to Xishan Village to look for the Han family.
The Zhou family was discussing what to do about this matter. How to deal with the aftermath.
Later, the Han family learned that Han Xiang was beaten to death by Zhou Anshan and her mother-in-law, and she had a miscarriage.
They were angry and resentful.
Han Yuan immediately kicked her foot deep and shallow to call for help.
When Father Han and Brother Han heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
They left his things behind and hurried to the Zhou Village without washing their hands.
The Zhou family had already hired a doctor for Han Xiang.
The doctor was invited, but it was a barefoot doctor B in the town.
Facing Han Xiangâs serious injuries, they were helpless.
âIâll send her to the county town.â
Father Zhouâs face darkened.
Seeing that there were more than ten people from the Han family, Father Zhou immediately went forward and wanted to say something, but Father Han pushed him away.
âIf anything happens to my Ah-Xiang, I want Zhou Anshan to be buried with her.â
Han Yuan had already run into the house.
When the two children saw Han Yuan, they immediately threw themselves into her arms.
âGrandma, Grandma, Father, and Grandma Zhou hit Mother! They hit Mother!â
The older children could already remember things and knew what was good and bad.
Seeing his mother being beaten up, he was terrified. When he saw his grandparents, he knew that they were his motherâs parents and would protect his mother.
Zhou Anshan had already been beaten up by the Zhou brothers.
Not to mention the people of the Zhou Family Village, even the Zhou Brothers didnât dare to go up and pull him away.
âI didnât do it on purpose. 1 didnât want to hit her. Everything was an accident. It was an accidentâ¦!â Zhou Anshan wailed.
The doctor suggested sending Han Xiang to the county town.
The Han family naturally had no objections.
Father Han asked Zhou Anshan to get the silver. The couple saved up for a few months to build a house and buy a carriage. They only had two or three taels of silver left.
Zhou Anshan did not dare to hesitate and quickly took out the silver.
Just this much?â Father Han questioned.
âEverything is inside.â
Zhou Anshan said hoarsely.
Father Zhou was silent for a moment, âIâll go get another five taels of silver.â
He was also afraid that Han Xiang was really dead.
And if that happened, his wife and son would have to go to jail.
