Chapter 234: 234 This is Chi Siniang's life

She had no right to make decisions for her, because she had not experienced her despair at the point of death.

Chi Siniang was in her second marriage; during her first marriage, that man cheated while she was pregnant, which made her so angry she miscarried, leaving a lasting ailment, so she chose to divorce; the other party demanded she leave with nothing, otherwise they would not agree to the divorce.

She was a rural woman, her parents had both passed away, she had no support, and at that time she only wanted to get away from that man as soon as possible, so she agreed.

After the divorce, she had no money, so she returned to her natal home.

Her natal home only had one younger brother, who was already married and had a child; he had originally planned to go out to work but had not found a suitable job, she stayed for two months, and the sister-in-law had objections.

She did not want her younger brother to have a conflict with his wife because of her.

Even the smallest conflict would gradually grow.

Coincidentally, a matchmaker came to her to act as a go-between, saying the man's family was especially taken with her.

Usually, when a matchmaker came to their village, many people would follow to watch the excitement.

Some relatives from the village also came, and everyone advised that a woman must marry in this lifetime, while the Wang Dagen family in the neighboring village was famous for being honest after splitting their household.

It was precisely that Wang Dagen could not have children, and she also could not, so they thought they could get by together.

Chi Siniang did not want people pointing fingers, thinking that this was how her life would be, so she agreed to meet him.

Wang Dagen indeed looked very honest, except for a particularly large scar on his forehead, and he spoke with a slight stutter.

But Chi Siniang's demands were not high; as long as the person could get by in life, it was fine.

A large part of rural households live together with the mother-in-law's family.

The Wang Dagen household was no exception.

At first, for half a year she still felt that marrying into their family was quite good, because whether it was Wang Dagen or his parents, they treated her well.

The only thing was that she discovered her husband seemed especially obedient to his parents, even to the point of being afraid of his father, and the same with his mother.

However, since the parents-in-law were easy to get along with and there were not many issues, aside from the father-in-law's love of drinking, everything else was fine, so she also felt rather fortunate.

Little did she know, this was actually her misfortune.

Because half a year later, things in this household began to feel off.

To be precise, it was his father-in-law who began to behave strangely.

Whether it was the way he looked at her or their everyday interactions, he would seize any opportunity to touch her.

Once, he even reached under the table and touched her leg.

She immediately objected, but her father-in-law apologized, saying he had actually intended to touch the mother-in-law sitting opposite, but his hand wasn't long enough and he missed.

Her husband and mother-in-law quickly chimed in, saying that since he had apologized, they should forgive his father this once, it was just a misunderstanding.

Afterwards, such "coincidences" happened several more times, and she wanted to divorce Wang Dagen.

But that very night, when she was arguing about wanting a divorce, she was dragged into the room by her father-in-law, who reeked of alcohol but not the strong smell she usually noticed when he ate.

Through the crack in the door, she saw her husband and mother-in-law standing outside.

She pleaded for help, but they just walked away, as if it were habitual.

Afterwards, it was the same apology as before, saying he had drunk too much, saying this was a scandal, and if it got out, not only the Wang family but also their Chi family would be laughed at by the village for a lifetime.

They told her to let the matter rest and keep the peace.

Chi Siniang naturally refused; she wanted to call the police and return to her natal home.

At that moment, her father-in-law finally revealed his disgusting face.

He said that if she did not make a big issue out of a small one, he would tell others that she had taken advantage of his drunken state to seduce him.

Chi Siniang had never imagined there could be such a shameless demon in this world; she asked the silently watching Wang Dagen, did he really just let his father force himself on his own wife?

In response, Wang Dagen lowered his head, crouched in the corner, silent, gripping his hair tightly, unable to vent his frustration.

Chi Siniang wanted to run.

But her mother-in-law locked the door.

After that, it was just a daily repeated question: would she keep quiet?

Moreover, her demonic father-in-law dropped the pretense entirely, unlocking the door of the room she was confined in every two days.

One day, her father-in-law was again reeking of alcohol, and in the end she died in that room.

This is Chi Siniang's life.

So how could she not hate?

Those inhuman days and nights of torment, even after death, hearing the sound of the lock turning would make her tremble.

Moreover, after that, they simply moved away, saying they were going to develop in another city.

They kept in contact with her natal home's younger brother using her phone.

A few years later, they claimed she had died in an accident, then returned to the village to hold a fake funeral, brushing the matter aside.

The Wang Dagen family, not a single person is innocent.

And all that Tushan Jiu could do was wait for Chi Siniang to finish her revenge, then let this atrocity be made public.

Let everyone know that this family got what they deserved.

She did not entrust this matter to Xie Shiyu; she handled it herself.

First she sought out Tong Xuping, the Director of the Yun Shi Office, to ask him to make an exception and help contact the Yun Shi Criminal Police Team to report the case, as well as the corpse of Chi Siniang buried under the tree on the mountainside of her family's Hou Shan.

Normally, they would not be allowed to participate in this, because of the yin-yang order.

According to the original fate, no nearby surveillance captured the strange manner of death of the three of them; after investigating for many years with no result, it ultimately became an unsolved case.

But Tushan Jiu's reason was that she had bought on credit, interfering with Chi Siniang's karma.

Because she had not yet received payment from Chi Siniang, her karma allowed her to intervene.

She wanted to overturn this case so that Chi Siniang could see, before she passed, that those three would be despised by the world.

With her intervention, the Yun Shi Police soon issued a case bulletin.

Tushan Jiu then contacted several well-known journalists, exposing the matter; for a time, this vicious case caused a great uproar in society.

Someone even dug up that Wang Dagen's two previous wives, whom he had married earlier, had all died in various accidents at the Wang family home.

Because his family had compensated the other family with money, the matter was thus left unresolved.

The severity of the incident stayed on the hot-search list for a full month.

Many women also bravely came forward; although their experiences were not exactly the same as Chi Siniang's, they were largely similar.

It was merely that the role changed from father-in-law to other roles, and the setting shifted from Wang Dagen's home to schools, workplaces, and so on.

Because they did not want to endure until the end, what they got in return was merely the word 'death'.

They also wanted to shake off those disgusting touches, to breathe fresh air, and live a passionate, sunny life.

The hot-search post about Chi Siniang stayed online for over a month; although its heat has now waned a bit, more and more prominent lawyers have stepped forward, saying they will provide free assistance to women who are persecuted or currently being violated, as long as they bravely come forward—they will uphold the remaining justice!
