Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a thousand days. When Li Qiuxiang stopped lusting after Wang Dong's body, she increasingly realized that he was a useless man.

You asked if she had fallen for someone else? Not really. After all, she only occasionally looks at people like Zhao Aiguo, and most people wouldn't catch her eye. But the longer they spent together, the more she believed that God was fair, and that good-looking people might have just exchanged all their intelligence for good looks!

The New Year arrived amidst this dilemma. Qi Zhifang could no longer stay in the sanatorium, and Xiao Hu had no house. If they went back to Qi's mother's place, Xiao Cui would block the door and say, "Qi Zhifang, what have you done to this family? How dare you even show your face here?"

Qi Zhifang and Xiao Hu also looked displeased. Xiao Hu suppressed his temper and said, "Fangzi's sister-in-law, what are you saying? This is Fangzi's mother's house. Why can't she come back?"

Xiao Cui said coldly, "I won't allow that kind of person in the house. Besides, don't you like her? Why don't you invite her to your house?" Qi Zhifang retorted with a gloomy face, "Why can't you let me in? You don't have the final say in this house!"

As Qi Zhijun left, he blocked the doorway, saying, "Fangzi, this house can't accommodate you. Find somewhere else to live! You've already ruined Mom and Dad. Please leave us alone! Besides, you have children of your own!"

Xiao Cui sneered, "That's right, your own son has three and a half rooms!"

Just as Qi Zhifang was about to throw a tantrum, Xiao Hu stopped her and said, "If you're going to be unreasonable, go to the neighborhood committee for a hearing. The old lady isn't dead yet! Do you think you can just take charge of this family?"

This really got Qi Zhijun and his wife under control. They weren't the heads of the household. Xiao Cui spat and turned to leave. Helpless, Qi Zhijun tossed a key to Qi Zhifang, saying, "You can stay in the side room!"

Qi Zhifang looked at Xiao Hu, who was crying with tears streaming down his face, and said, "Old Xiao, you've seen it too. I can't stay in this family committee anymore. I did it all for you, and now they don't even recognize me anymore. If you have any conscience, you should get me a house and take me out as soon as possible!"

Xiao Hu looked at Qi Zhifang for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's go inside first, I'll help you tidy up!"

The two men went inside and saw several large bags of clothes piled on the bed. Xiao Hu realized that Qi Zhifang hadn't shortchanged him at all over the years. Qi Zhifang, however, was still oblivious to what was going on and was wallowing in self-pity!

Xiao Hu quickly tidied up the side room and made the bed, saying, "Then you can rest first, I'm going back!"

Qi Zhifang grabbed Xiao Hu's hand and pouted, "Stay with me!"

She snuggled into his arms as she spoke, but Xiao Hu frowned and whispered, "Don't do this, it's not good if someone sees us in broad daylight!"

Qi Zhifang thought about it and agreed. If she were caught doing something in the side room, she would lose all face. Reluctantly, she let Xiao Hu leave.

Xiao Hu is now in a dilemma. His wife and children no longer recognize him. Being with Qi Zhifang is like being starving and having a bowl of leftovers in front of you that you don't know whose. Just when you convince yourself to eat it to survive, someone spits into the bowl.

Walking aimlessly and helplessly down the street, he couldn't understand how he had ended up in such a predicament in his old age!

Before she could even figure things out, the troublemaker caused another problem. Wang Fang had only been looking forward to Zhao Yunxiang's return for a couple of days when Zhao Yunxiang spent several days in jail and his work wasn't going well.

I've been in a bad mood these past few days. When I came back and saw Wang Fang humming a song and putting on makeup, I felt annoyed and said gloomily, "You seem quite happy?"

Wang Fang didn't notice anything amiss. While looking in the mirror and fiddling with her hair, she said, "Isn't it almost Chinese New Year?" Turning around, she saw that Zhao Yunxiang didn't even have a smile on his face, and she sensed something was wrong. She tentatively asked, "Yunxiang, why are you unhappy?"

Zhao Yunxiang looked at her coldly and said, "Should I be happy? Tell me why I should be happy?"

Wang Fang was speechless for a moment. She didn't quite understand. He was fine when he went out in the morning, so why was he like this when he came back in the afternoon? She mustered up her courage and said, "Yunxiang, don't be like this. Why are you angry again? Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food!"

Zhao Yunxiang swung his arm and slapped Wang Fang across the face. Wang Fang screamed and cried for help... Zhao Yunxiang covered her mouth and punched her head repeatedly, yelling, "You're a damn jinx! I've never had a good day with you. You're not only my bad luck, but now even my dad's. You always call the police, right? Go ahead and call them! Go ahead and call them! You big lousy drum, you just need to be beaten. You can't stand not being beaten, can you? Come on, tell me how despicable you are! Why did you have to learn from your mother to seduce men and be so vain? Look at what you're wearing!"

Wang Fang shouted, "Yunxiang, stop hitting him! Stop hitting him..."

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch, for ruining my life!"

"Yunxiang, please...please don't...you can't take it anymore. Can you rest for ten minutes before you start again? I'm begging you..."

"I'll teach you to be spineless, to be a wimp. Begging, begging, all you do is beg all day long, sooner or later you'll end up like your mother, begging into another man's bed!" Slap slap, the beating started again. Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, and if that's not enough, you have to kick.

However, this kick was a bit too hard, breaking two ribs. She didn't dare to make a big fuss because she was afraid that if her beloved Yunxiang got into another accident, he would lose his job. So, after Zhao Yunxiang got tired and fell asleep, she went to find Qi Zhifang that very night.

Qi Zhifang was determined this time. She locked the door from the inside and refused to come out, ignoring Wang Fang's cries from outside. She knew all too well that rescuing Wang Fang would be like the story of Mr. Dongguo rescuing the wolf.

She wasn't oblivious to Xiao Hu's hesitation; if Wang Fang hadn't been spouting nonsense, she would have married Xiao Hu long ago. Why would she be putting up with Qi Zhijun and Xiao Cui's temper?

Wang Fang was like a fly swarming around rotten meat, or a mosquito in the desert; she sat right at the door and wouldn't leave. The next morning, a neighbor knocked on the door to call Qi Zhifang out. She was already running a high fever and had fainted. Qi Zhifang had no money to take her to the hospital and didn't want to trouble Xiao Hu anymore, so she just sent someone to find Wang Dong.
