Simply having such a beautiful wife, going in and out together every day, Xiu Jianlin wasnât a false man, so naturally some crooked thoughts ensued. Eventually, he forcibly had relations with Wen Yu.
Wen Yu was a well-read, sensible woman with relatively conservative thoughts. After being assaulted by Xiu Jianlin, she once had thoughts of ending her life, but at that time, she had a son she couldnât bear to leave, so she could only bear it.
Later, she discovered she was pregnant. Being inherently gentle and kind-hearted, although she didnât like Xiu Jianlin, in her eyes, a child was different. She couldnât bear to harm the one in her belly, nor could she abandon her son, so the thought of suicide vanished.
At that time, because of Wen Yuâs private savings, Xiu Jianlinâs life in the village was relatively prosperous, and Wen Yu was willing to spend money on the child, so every a few days, there was meat in the house.
Seeing Xiu Jianlin frequently bringing home large bags of goods, Liu Mei took notice.
In her younger years, Liu Mei was somewhat attractive and had high standards. She first set her eyes on Ruan Jianguo, but he wouldnât look at her. Already in her late twenties, knowing she couldnât delay any longer, she targeted Xiu Jianlin instead.
Apart from once forcing himself on Wen Yu, Xiu Jianlin hadnât experienced the pleasures of a man. Being seduced by Liu Mei, it wasnât long before they were together.
She initially believed Xiu Jianlin was capable of earning money, but later learned it was all Wen Yuâs money. At first, she was a bit angry, feeling deceived by Xiu Jianlin.
However, after thinking it over, she realized Wen Yu was merely a lonely girl who went to the countryside. Her death in this place wouldnât garner attention, so she coerced Xiu Jianlin into dealing with Wen Yu. This way, she could not only take her place, but when Wen Yu died, her money would be hersâa double win.
Initially, Xiu Jianlin was unwilling, for he truly liked Wen Yu. Wen Yu was pretty, and in the village, no one but Shu Jiao could compare to her.
But then Liu Mei became pregnant, and after engaging in many such acts with her, experiencing the pleasures, Wen Yu never let him near. Having such a wife was like having none at all, so gradually he agreed.
Of course, they didnât dare handle Wen Yu directly, but instead tormented her bit by bit. When Wen Yu was over six months pregnant, they began starving her often, tormenting her, until the day she gave birth, sheâd been tortured to skin and bones, with only her belly still big.
That wasnât the end.
On Wen Yuâs delivery day, they deliberately didnât call the midwife immediately, waiting until she was nearly out of breath. Only then did they bring the midwife over. Malnourished and having been starved for days before giving birth, Wen Yu unsurprisingly faced complications, and the child was not bornâleading to two deaths.
Childbirth already involves a visit to Ghost Gate. Her death from complications in rural area didnât raise any suspicion. Even if someone saw her corpse and murmured, no one truly pursues the matter.
Wen Yuâs body wasnât kept for a single day before Xiu Jianlin hastily buried her.
Within two months, he married Liu Mei, and in the same year, they had Xiu Cheng.
These were the words right from Xiu Jianlinâs mouth. After Ruan Jianguo finished speaking, the previously lively dinner table instantly fell silent.
Ruan Jiaojiao even struggled to hold back tears, her eyes turning red.
