CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: SERVES YOU RIGHT

Sun Lijuan was exceedingly anxious at this moment—eight hundred bucks just gone like that? She had been talking behind Zhou Jinzhu for ages, all just to persuade him to bring Sun Chan back as his wife. Zhou Jinzhu thought this Sun Li Juan was a bit like his mom, endlessly prattling on and on, like an annoying fly buzzing around—what a nag!

At home, Sun Lijuan was being spoilt by her mother beyond measure. Seeing Zhou Jinzhu completely ignoring her set her ablaze with anger. She furiously shoved his shoulder: "I’m talking to you, can’t you hear, you useless good-for-nothing! You can’t even handle a little girl, what’s the point of your existence?"

Zhou Jinzhu stumbled, landing on his butt, and stared back at Sun Lijuan with fury.

Sun Lijuan snorted—turns out he was indeed a worthless bum! With one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Zhou Jinzhu, she exclaimed, "Idiot, fool, no wonder Sun Chan doesn’t want you. With your kind, even throwing money around won’t get you a good wife. Expect to stay a bachelor for life!"

After her tirade, she even kicked Zhou Jinzhu, walking ahead, completely oblivious to the fire of fury in the man’s eyes.

Who could’ve guessed, after only a few steps, a hand from behind grabbed Sun Lijuan, dragging her into a nearby cornfield.

Sun Lijuan shouted, "What are you trying to do? Acting like a thug, let go!"

Zhou Jinzhu grinned wickedly, "Isn’t that exactly what I want to do—play the thug? Weren’t you saying I’d never get a wife? Let me show you if I have the skills to get a wife!"

Sun Lijuan couldn’t help but shudder; seeing his beastly gaze, her soul seemed to soar beyond the firmament. She had forgotten what kind of person Zhou Jinzhu was, focused solely on getting Sun Chan to exchange for money, not remembering past events at all!

"Zhou Jinzhu, let go! My mom will be here soon to find me. Your wife isn’t me, it’s Sun Chan! No, go away, bawling..."

Sun Lijuan was dragged into the cornfield by Zhou Jinzhu, her mouth covered, as he tore at her clothes, cursing all the while.

"Stinking woman, for badmouthing me, looking this ugly and still daring to flirt!"

"If you dare touch me, I’ll report you, have you executed!" Sun Lijuan fought back with her fists and kicks.

Zhou Jinzhu sneered, "Go ahead, by then you’ll be paraded as a public spectacle in shame, and it won’t be good for you either!"

This was truly a case of evil meeting evil. Who would have thought Sun Lijuan was so proud in her past life, yet was bullied by Zhou Jinzhu in this life.

To be honest, Zhou Jinzhu had no interest in her, not as attractive as Sun Chan, with bad skin, covered in acne, and blood stains on her neck and face from earlier scratches from Sun Chan. Just looking at her made him nauseous, but recalling her contempt for him, he acted purely out of spite.

Sun Lijuan screamed a few times, but her mouth was finally stuffed with a foul sock.

After an unknown length of time, a gust of wind blew by, rustling sounds echoed from the cornfield, along with the faint sound of sobbing.

Zhou Jinzhu spat on the ground while dressing, "Pah! Dare to insult me, now you’ll remember this!"

"Zhou Jinzhu, you’re not human!" Sun Lijuan sobbed, her clothes torn to shreds, her body bruised and battered, she was in enough pain to nearly faint.

She had hoped to marry someone with authority, be an official’s wife, at the very least marry someone wealthy.

Now look at this, violated by a lowlife, that beast wasn’t a human at all!

Zhou Jinzhu felt elated, whistling, "Watch your mouth next time!"

Sun Lijuan grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Zhou Jinzhu’s face, "Even so, I’ll never marry you!"

Zhou Jinzhu sneered, "When did I say I wanted to marry you? If I had to find a wife, I’d look for a good one. You’re not fit! Disgrace!" After speaking, he walked away, leaving Sun Lijuan sobbing in the dirt. How was she going to handle this? She had always been domineering, but now she couldn’t come up with a single solution.

After a long while, Sun Lijuan finally emerged from the cornfield, her body burning with pain, limping as she walked, tears streaming down her face, both aggrieved and furious.

Zhao Xiuxia was rushing in, her backache much better after applying a patch.

Her mind was still calculating how to spend the over eight hundred—first buy her daughter a bike and a watch, then rent a place in town, let Sun Chan handle the farmwork, so she could enjoy life in the city!

Seeing her daughter from afar, she hurriedly ran over, "How did it go? Did Zhou Jinzhu leave with Sun Chan?"

Seeing her mother, Sun Lijuan immediately burst into tears, "Mom, I was violated! That beast Zhou Jinzhu did it!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Xiuxia’s mind went blank, nearly fainting on the spot. Her precious daughter was really... Getting closer confirmed it, her daughter covered with wounds, and blood stains on her pants, she looked utterly pitiful.

Zhao Xiuxia cried, losing all sense of direction, "My poor Juan’er, how could this happen? Damn Zhou Jinzhu, does he want to have both sisters?"

Sun Lijuan gritted her teeth, "Sun Chan, that wretched girl, wouldn’t come out. Everyone inside was helping him, Zhou Jinzhu said he didn’t want her anymore. Can’t get a wife so he takes it out on me, what do I do, mom! Wailing..."

Zhao Xiuxia cursed in rage, damn Sun Chan, ruining things repeatedly, now dragging her own sister into misery!

"Mom, what do I do now? Just let him bully me for nothing?" Sun Lijuan seethed with hatred for Zhou Jinzhu, wanting nothing more than to kill him!

Zhao Xiuxia gritted her teeth, "We’ll have to swallow this loss. Pretend you got bitten by a dog. But we’ll find an opportunity to deal with him later. Right now, getting Sun Chan back is crucial!" She lacked shame, not finding any disgrace in what happened with Zhou Jinzhu, mostly worried it would affect her future marriage prospects.

Sun Lijuan now laid all her resentment on Sun Chan.

"That wretched Sun Chan is ruthless now, if we don’t completely ruin her, she’ll surely seek revenge on us in the future."

"Heh, is there only one Zhou Jinzhu without a wife in the world?" Zhao Xiuxia squinted her eyes, venomously said, "We’ll sell her off to the mountains. Sell her to those widowers who can’t find wives as wives!"

Sun Lijuan clapped in approval, "Yes, she has to repay my suffering tenfold!"

But Zhao Xiuxia and Sun Lijuan couldn’t do it alone, they had to seek help from relatives. The more remote the origin, the tougher the conditions, the higher the offering. Zhao Xiuxia’s elder brother Zhao Long at least found one, a family with two sons, reportedly making decent money hunting in winter, but having a bad temper, previously his wives were bullied into jumping into the river.

Upon hearing Sun Chan was beautiful and capable of making money, they agreed on a dowry of two thousand, with the condition she serve as a wife for both brothers without seeking another.

Zhao Xiuxia’s eyes shone at the price, "Great! So much money, no problem!" She couldn’t care less about Sun Chan’s fate. With this much money, she could already save for her daughter’s dowry.
