CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 7: THE WIFE WHO SHARED MY HARDSHIPS (PART 7)

When Xi Lin received the MMS, her entire being felt uneasy.

Xi Lin came from a remote mountain village, where poverty and backwardness persisted. She attended school until the fourth grade, but then her family couldn’t afford to send her any longer.

She helped with farm work and house chores until she turned sixteen, when her family wanted her to marry. However, she didn’t want to end up like her good sister next door, married to an old man, stuck at home, having children, cooking, being constantly busy, and getting beaten by her husband. She really didn’t want to live that kind of life.

But soon, her family found her a man, a middle-aged man whose wife had died and who wanted to remarry.

That man was tall, burly, and had a ferocious face. Xi Lin was somewhat frightened at the time.

When her good sister got beaten by her husband, she felt scared just looking at those wounds. How could she endure if she were to be beaten herself?

Her family had no money, and since the man could offer a bride price of ten thousand yuan, her family sold her off.

Unwilling at heart, Xi Lin ran away from home.

Fortunately, after escaping the village, she found a bullock cart in the neighboring village heading to the county. Because it was night, she quietly climbed onto the cart and hid in a corner, reaching the county.

In the county, she quietly crawled into a luggage compartment beneath a long-distance bus.

The first place she went to was Yunying City. She had no education and no money, but some kind-hearted people gave her some money.

Later, she found a nanny job, helping to take care of children.

Initially, she worked very hard to help take care of the children.

The family was well-off; both the husband and wife had jobs, the house was large, and the salary was high.

When she received her salary for the first month, she was very happy, because she had never seen so much money before.

She carefully took care of the children, and the hostess treated her well, occasionally giving her some old clothes.

Those clothes were all branded.

Gradually, she began to feel some discontent; why could they wear good clothes and eat well while she could only wear old ones?

Xi Lin was young, energetic, and fairly pretty.

The master of the house was also kind to her. Once, when he came home midway through the day, she, having been urinated on by the child, put the child to sleep, took a shower, and came out wearing only a bath towel. Seeing the master, she involuntarily moved her hand, and the towel dropped, thus seducing the master.

Gradually, the master became more and more infatuated with her.

When the mistress found out, she divorced the master, and the child was taken away.

She thought she could be with that man in the future and live the life of a wealthy wife. Unexpectedly, the man despised her.

Illicit affairs may be exciting, but the man was unwilling to marry a little nanny; he just wanted to fool around.

Xi Lin was very distressed.

After thinking for a bit, she decided to leave. Although the master felt it was a pity, he didn’t try to stop her and just gave Xi Lin fifty thousand yuan.

Xi Lin took the fifty thousand yuan and went to another city, becoming another man’s mistress.

She could no longer work; having experienced how easy money could come by, she didn’t want to do hard work.

Arriving in Lezhou, she had some money in hand, so she started renting a place, intending to take a break. By chance, she met Lin Hua.

This man was talented, earned a good salary, and was young. She was instantly attracted to him.

With deliberate seduction, the man took the bait.

Although Lin Hua is currently unemployed, given his abilities, he could easily find another job. Moreover, he has a house and savings.

She is already Lin Hua’s wife, and she would not allow such a life to be destroyed.

Being a mistress isn’t that easy, and having had children, her appearance had changed somewhat.

The one talking to Lin Hua was probably Li Shuning. After all, asking for compensation and such things, isn’t that what Li Shuning does? Lin Hua actually let Li Shuning be his mistress?

Aren’t men all scoundrels?

Once they get something, they don’t cherish it. What’s so great about Li Shuning that he would look for her and make her his mistress?

For Xi Lin to reach where she is today, she is quite scheming.

She showed no emotion, remaining as gentle and pleasant as ever in front of Lin Hua. In reality, she was like a hunter lying in wait, biding her time.

After returning home from getting a cold reception from Li Shuning, Lin Hua thought he still needed to look for a job despite getting fired; otherwise, he would run out of resources.

But Lin Hua didn’t expect that he couldn’t find work in Lezhou.

It was then he realized the severity of the issue: why was he rejected by other companies everywhere he went?

On the Lezhou forum, more and more people responded to a post. Someone even claimed to be an HR from a certain company, saying she directly rejected Lin Hua when he applied.

Someone even reposted the discussion from the Lezhou forum onto a national forum.

The Lezhou forum, apart from emotional exchanges, had various other sections, including a recruitment section.

Unintentionally, when Lin Hua entered the forum, he finally understood why he was always rejected by other companies.

He read that particular post over and over. For the devoted expressions in Li Shuning’s post, he inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

But then he remembered how Li Shuning caused him to lose his job and struggle to find work, filling his heart with hatred once more.

Lin Hua figured, if he couldn’t find work in Lezhou, couldn’t he search elsewhere?

With that thought, Lin Hua’s determination was reignited.

After discussing it with Xi Lin, he left Xi Lin at home to care for the elderly and the child, while he prepared to seek employment in Huaihai City.

Xi Lin’s eyes flickered; she knew that Lin Hua had gone out to find work before, leaving Li Shuning in their hometown.

She refused to become another Li Shuning.

Especially since Lin Hua, the kind of man who would contact Li Shuning afterward, wanting her as his mistress.

Xi Lin had also seen the forum posts, noting how stunningly beautiful Li Shuning was, prettier than herself.

Such a woman, back when she was managing the household, eventually became somewhat disheveled without dressing up, making Lin Hua cheat on her. Not to mention, she couldn’t compare to Li Shuning. Now, she was a bit overweight, not as striking as she used to be.

Who knows what might happen when Lin Hua is away?

Lin Hua left Lezhou; Huaihai City was a more economically developed city, far from Lezhou, so it seemed relatively easy to find work there.

After Lin Hua left, Xi Lin initially devoted herself fully to taking care of the children and the elderly at home.

Fortunately, both elders were illiterate and unaware of what Xi Lin was up to.

Perhaps once, Xi Lin handed them something to stamp their fingerprints on, and they were coaxed into doing so.

Xi Lin did have some tricks up her sleeve. Previously, it was her who managed the family’s finances. There was more than three hundred thousand yuan in the account, and Lin Hua had taken away one hundred thousand when he left, leaving over two hundred thousand for household expenses, with the card naturally still in Xi Lin’s hands.
