Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I'm not dead yet, and you're already acting this brazenly?"

Liao Chunhua's face darkened; originally, after a night of inner struggle, she had already planned to swallow yesterday's matter and not pursue it — after all, He Dazhu was a cripple, he couldn't possibly do anything substantive with Li Xiulan.

Yet unexpectedly, she now witnessed this scene before her eyes.

He Dazhu couldn't be bothered to explain to Liao Chunhua; anyway, this married life he could no longer endure, so he said coldly:

"Cut the crap, let's go to the Town Civil Affairs Bureau and get divorced right now!"

These words infuriated Liao Chunhua so much her lungs nearly exploded.

"He Dazhu, don't even dream of succeeding; you want to divorce me, I absolutely won't divorce!"

Liao Chunhua was just like that — stubborn, domineering, and willful.

"I won't let you two adulterers succeed!"

Liao Chunhua gritted her teeth and spat out this sentence.

Li Xiulan was quite speechless at this, her face full of bitterness.

Whether He Dazhu and Liao Chunhua divorced or not, she actually didn't care, but now the two of them as husband and wife were making such a stiff, ugly scene that it spilled onto her, and that made her feel very innocent.

"Sister-in-law Chunhua, this is all a misunderstanding — whether last night or this morning, Dazhu and I did nothing at all; I'm carrying a child in my belly, and I would never let him do that kind of filthy thing to me!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly explained.

She truly feared this matter — even if she jumped into the Yellow River she couldn't wash herself clean.

"Heh, I know that even without you saying it; that dog thing He Dazhu has the heart of a thief but not the ability of a thief — he's not a real man at all, just a waste who can't even open the door."

Liao Chunhua's words held no restraint in their cold mockery and sarcasm toward He Dazhu.

This made He Dazhu so angry his whole body trembled on the spot, his face pale.

What a man fears most isn't having no money, isn't being ugly, but being told by a woman that he can't perform.

And it just so happened that He Dazhu truly couldn't.

Sometimes the truth is precisely what hurts the most.

"Liao Chunhua, are you finished or not! Hurry up and come with me to handle the divorce procedures!"

He Dazhu grabbed Liao Chunhua and walked off; he didn't want to spend another moment with Liao Chunhua.

This woman had never given him, this husband, enough dignity and face.

Always constantly trampling and grinding his dignity as a man under her feet!

This is the most essential reason He Dazhu didn't want to continue living with her!

"I just won't go; I just won't divorce you; I want to see how long you two adulterers can keep strutting!"

Liao Chunhua screamed, shaking off He Dazhu's hand.

"You're simply unreasonable, you're a madwoman!"

He Dazhu was furious; Liao Chunhua suddenly changed her mind, unwilling to divorce him — then this divorce definitely couldn't be finalized in a short while.

After all, divorce requires both husband and wife to be willing.

"What on earth do you want!"

He Dazhu roared at Liao Chunhua; he was already near collapse.

Poverty, disharmonious sex life, plus marital conflict — this marriage couldn't see a glimmer of light; he truly didn't know why Liao Chunhua still insisted on continuing.

Could it be merely to make him suffer?

And sure enough, Liao Chunhua really was simply persisting in not divorcing out of spite, because she didn't want He Dazhu to have it easy.

"I don't want anything; I just want to anger you to death!"

Liao Chunhua stated it bluntly.

He Dazhu trembled all over with rage, nearly fainting on the spot.

"You really are a crazy woman!"

Then he flung his sleeve, turned coldly, and left.

Liao Chunhua watched He Dazhu's wretched retreating figure, the corner of her mouth hooking into a resentful yet complacent smile.

She was just like that — what she couldn't obtain, she wouldn't let anyone else obtain either.

"Li Xiulan, I'm going right now to the Village Entrance Supply and Marketing Cooperative to call your husband; I'm going to let your husband know you're a ruined woman!"

Liao Chunhua not only wanted to punish He Dazhu, she also wanted to punish Li Xiulan.

After all, in her view, a single palm can't clap.

If it weren't for Li Xiulan seducing her husband, her husband wouldn't have so brazenly betrayed her.

"Sister-in-law Chunhua, listen to my explanation, okay? Everything here is truly a misunderstanding!"

Li Xiulan's face was full of panic, tears nearly falling.

She wasn't afraid of other people's village gossip; she was afraid of her husband's misunderstanding of her!

"Heh, now you know to play pitiful? When you were seducing my husband back then, why didn't you think of my feelings?"

Liao Chunhua laughed coldly, then turned and headed for the Village Entrance Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Li Xiulan panicked and chased after her.

Wanting to stop Liao Chunhua from calling her husband.

Only unfortunately, she was pregnant, movement inconvenient — how could she catch up to Liao Chunhua's pace?

As a result, when she chased her to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the village entrance, she discovered Liao Chunhua was already on the phone.

"Wang Zhanggen, do you know or not, your wife and my husband have gotten together!"

Liao Chunhua deliberately raised her voice; this sentence of hers was not only to be said to Wang Zhanggen on the other end of the phone, but also to be said to the old men and old women chatting at the door of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!

As a result, the moment this sentence of hers came out, those old people at the village entrance who were originally cracking melon seeds and chatting, immediately changed complexion, all looking in stunned surprise toward Li Xiulan who was walking over, finding it very hard to believe.

Because in the impression of the whole village, Li Xiulan was a virtuous and gentle wife, she had already given birth to two children for Wang Zhanggen, and was currently pregnant with a third child; unexpectedly, such a woman would actually commit adultery?

"What?"

From the other end of the phone came a man's stunned and surprised voice.

Wang Zhanggen no matter what would not believe that he worked hard outside, yet his wife at home had gotten together with another man.

If it were another person calling to tell him this news, he perhaps would not believe it too much.

But now it just so happened to be Liao Chunhua personally telling him, this could not help but make him give rise to deep suspicion.

Because he knew, Liao Chunhua's husband and his wife had previously dated.

"Wang Zhanggen, I'm telling you you've been cuckolded by my husband, do you still not understand? Who knows, the child in Li Xiulan's belly right now might not be yours!"

Liao Chunhua added oil and vinegar, pushing the words toward the severe.

Right at this moment, Li Xiulan hurriedly snatched the phone in one grab:

"Husband, you must not listen to her nonsense, I am innocent, all of this is a misunderstanding!"

Li Xiulan anxiously explained.

She was really very afraid Wang Zhanggen would misunderstand.

"Wife, what on earth is going on?"

Wang Zhanggen knitted his brows tightly, complexion heavy.

"Husband, you must believe me, between me and He Dazhu nothing at all happened!"

Li Xiulan cried anxiously.

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly comforted:

"Don't cry, I believe you, you stay at home and properly nurture the fetus, in a few days I'll ask for leave and go back once, I still have to go to work now, so I won't speak further for now."

Wang Zhanggen hung up the phone, his heart in a chaotic mess.

To say he had not a shred of suspicion, that is impossible.

As long as one is a normal person hearing this news, they certainly would all have some suspicion.

After all, he only goes back once a year during Spring Festival, the rest of the time he is not at home; his wife unable to endure loneliness and getting together with another man, that is nothing more than normal, let alone this man originally having an unclear old relationship with his wife.

The more Wang Zhanggen thought, the more he felt Liao Chunhua's words were true.

He began to feel unworthy for himself, and indignant.

He alone year-round outside works himself to death, in the end for what?

Isn't it just so the family can live a bit better?

Result now at home comes such a bolt from the blue!

"No good, I'm going back today!"

The more Wang Zhanggen thought the more he couldn't stay calm, he couldn't wait even a moment.

So that afternoon, he asked the Leader for leave, then hurriedly went to buy a train ticket, took the train and rushed home.
