Chapter 174: Figured it out

Ma Meifang staggered out of the house like a walking corpse.

She stood by the stream with a dazed look in her eyes, staring blankly at the gurgling water in front of her.

At this moment, her heart was filled with endless despair and sorrow. For so many years, she had worked hard and sacrificed so much for the family, but in the end, she was rejected by her mother-in-law and betrayed by her husband.

Ma Meifang closed her eyes, tears quietly slid down her cheeks, and she walked forward step by step, she wanted to end all the pain.

Just as she was about to jump into the river, a hand grabbed her.

"Sister-in-law Meifang, what are you doing?"

Ling Yao pulled Ma Meifang away from the river with force. She didn't expect that Ma Meifang would choose to take this path.

Ma Meifang opened her eyes and looked at Ling Yao, tears pouring out of her eyes like a broken dam, "Sister-in-law Lu, I can't live anymore. Hu Zi wants to marry someone else, and he wants to divorce me. What should I do? What should I do... Wuuuuu..."

She threw herself into Ling Yao's arms and burst into tears, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and pains.

Ling Yao gently patted Ma Meifang's back to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. Think about your daughters. If you leave, what will they do in the future?"

Hearing about the children, Ma Meifang's body trembled violently. Yes, she still has three daughters. If she just leaves like this, how will they live in the future? Mother-in-law and Hu Zi both dislike them so much now, and they will definitely not treat them well in the future.

Ma Meifang gradually regained her sanity, and she looked at Ling Yao gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Lu! I will live well in the future." Even if it is not for herself, she must live for her daughter. For them, she must be strong and live.

"Sister Meifang, are you willing to tell me in detail what happened?" Ling Yao asked softly.

Ma Meifang hesitated for a moment, and told Ling Yao everything that Old Lady Zhang had said to her, "My mother-in-law said that Hu Zi and I didn't get a marriage certificate at the beginning, so we are not really a couple at all. She also told me not to stop Hu Zi from marrying another woman. That woman is not only from the city, but her parents are officials, and that woman is already pregnant with Hu Zi's child..."

Ma Meifang's voice became lower and lower, and she almost cried in the end.

Ling Yao's eyes became colder and colder. She gently patted Ma Meifang's back to comfort her, "Sister-in-law Meifang, they hurt you like this, have you ever thought about letting them get the punishment they deserve?"

Ma Meifang looked at Ling Yao in confusion, "What do you mean..."

"With Zhang Huzi's current behavior, you can write a letter to the leader to report him for having extramarital affairs."

Ma Meifang shook her head when she heard this. "My mother-in-law said that if I dare to spread this, she will spread the word everywhere that my three daughters were born from my adultery..."

Ling Yao's brows wrinkled even tighter. "Then do you still want to continue living like this? When Zhang Huzi gets married, they will only become worse to you and your three children. Do you want your three children to be bullied by the Zhang family all their lives? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to consider your three children, right?" "

But... I don't know how to do anything. If I leave the Zhang family, I can't even support three children..." Ma Meifang covered her face and burst into tears, crying about her own poverty and her own incompetence.

"I can help you, but you have to listen to me." Ling Yao looked at Ma Meifang. She was willing to help her, but first Ma Meifang had to be strong and willing to believe in her before she could help her.

Ma Meifang hesitated for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously, "I'll listen to you." Ling Yao was right, even if not for herself, she had to consider her three daughters. With the kind of person her mother-in-law was, her three daughters would definitely be sold like commodities by her mother-in-law in the future.

Ling Yao smiled and patted Ma Meifang on the shoulder, "Come back with me first, I'll teach you how to write a letter of denunciation."

"I've never been to school and I can't write." Ma Meifang said a little embarrassedly. Her parents died early, and she grew up eating at other people's houses since she was a child, and she never went to school at all.

Ling Yao thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll write it for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law Lu! I will always remember your kindness in my heart. No matter what you want me to do in the future, I will do it." Ma Meifang knew that Ling Yao was really doing it for her own good. "

Let's go."

"Okay!" Ma Meifang reached out to wipe away her tears, and a smile that she hadn't shown for a long time appeared on her face. At this moment, she seemed to see a bright future for herself and her daughters.

Ma Meifang had just opened the door when a cup hit her in the face. She quickly turned sideways to avoid it, but the cup still hit her shoulder, and she almost cried because of the pain.

"Where have you been? You don't even do all the housework at home, do you want to rebel?" Old Lady Zhang walked up to Ma Meifang angrily and stretched out her hand to pinch her arm.

Ma Meifang gasped in pain, and thinking of Ling Yao's words, she pushed Old Lady Zhang away. Ling Yao was right, she couldn't go on like this, and she had to live for herself and her daughter from now on.

Old Lady Zhang didn't expect that Ma Meifang, who had always been submissive, would dare to resist, and she was so angry that she was shaking all over, "Okay! You dare to fight back, you bitch? This is outrageous! Let me show you how I teach you a lesson today!"

She cursed and looked around, looking for tools to beat Ma Meifang.

Soon, Mrs. Zhang's eyes fell on the broom in the corner.

She walked over quickly, grabbed the broom, and hit Ma Meifang hard without saying a word.

"Hiss~" Ma Meifang couldn't dodge and was hit hard by the broom. Her face turned pale with pain. She grabbed the broom and looked at Mrs. Zhang coldly, "What am I in your eyes?!" Mrs.

Zhang was frightened by Ma Meifang's eyes and took a step back in fear, but her mouth was still hard, "Did you take the wrong medicine today? How dare you talk to me like this? When Huzi comes back, I will let him teach you a lesson."

Ma Meifang couldn't help shivering when she heard it. Every time Zhang Huzi hit her, she couldn't get out of bed for at least three days.

Old Mrs. Zhang smiled smugly, "Are you scared? My son will be back soon. Just wait for your beating. I will let him beat you half to death this time. I will see if you dare to confront me again in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Ma Meifang heard that it was Zhang Huzi who came back, and she was filled with fear.
