Chapter 133 Suddenly Going Mad
"Hahaha!"
Lu Qiming suddenly laughed, and turbid tears slowly streamed down his thin cheeks, dripping onto the rough bed sheet.
“Yang Juanhua, put your hands on your heart! Over the years, in what way have I wronged you? On what day have I not treated you like my wife?”
"Back then, you were violated, got pregnant, your reputation was ruined, no one dared to marry you, and you came to me with nowhere else to turn! You knelt before me and begged me to take you in!"
"It was I who stepped forward, braving the cold stares of the whole village, to marry you and give you a way to survive! So that you wouldn't be driven out of the village and become a beggar!"
"And what about you? You lived a peaceful life for a few years, and then your heart became wild? Behind your back, you hooked up with other men, had an affair, and gave birth to Lu Shuixian!"
"Yes, I'm useless! I can't have children! It's fate, I accept it! But when have I ever mistreated them? When have I ever missed a meal for them? When have their clothes ever been worn out?"
I forgave you time and time again, turning a blind eye, just so this family could still feel like a family! But you still can't control yourself and keep messing around! You've broken my heart!
Lu Qiming was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
Do you know why I became paralyzed after a fall?
"That day I saw her sneaking out, her eyes darting around, her steps hurried, and she slipped out the door without even putting her shoes on properly... My heart skipped a beat, something was wrong! But I still dragged my useless body over inch by inch, wanting to see what she was up to!"
"And then? Guess what I saw?"
He suddenly raised his voice, his eyes bloodshot.
"She actually slept with my cousin Lu Guirun in the same room! The blankets weren't even pulled up properly, and clothes were scattered all over the floor! The two of them were hugging each other like dogs, kissing so passionately they forgot everything else!"
At this point, Lu Qiming raised his hand and slapped himself hard, again and again.
"I deserve it! I really deserve it!"
He cried out, tears mingling with sweat streaming down his face.
"I shouldn't have trusted her! I shouldn't have thought she was sincere towards me! I thought kindness could be reciprocated with sincerity! That it could protect a home! That it could safeguard the little bit of warmth hidden beneath this dilapidated house!"
"But what about her? She's practically wearing a green hat on my doorstep! Openly and brazenly! Cheating right in front of me! I was so angry I was shaking all over, my vision went black, my head went blank, and I tumbled down the stairs! I remember the sound of my bones hitting the steps, crack, crack, like I was about to shatter into pieces!"
"This paralysis is what I deserve! Who told me to marry a fickle woman like you! And to raise another man's bastard child for you! For seven whole years, I treated that child like my own son, and what did I get in return? He doesn't even deserve the Lu surname! This is retribution! God has punished me for being blind, lustful, and having a depraved heart!"
This is absolutely outrageous.
The people inside the room listened with trembling hearts.
Shen Cuifen was the first to recover.
She looked down at Yang Juanhua on the ground and sneered.
"You old hag! You were raped yourself back then, you know how terrible it was, crying and screaming for your mother night after night, so scared that you huddled in the corner and dared not see anyone... and you still let your son humiliate me?"
"You deserve to be torn to pieces! Where is your humanity? Where is your conscience? You've been hurt before, so shouldn't you understand pain even more? But not only do you not understand, you've made things worse, making others taste the same bitterness you suffered back then! Don't you think you've committed enough sins already?"
People say, "Don't impose on others what you yourself are unwilling to bear."
This is the bottom line of being a human being, the last bit of humanity and righteousness one should possess.
But what about Yang Juanhua?
Having experienced hardship themselves, they are eager for others to go through it too.
She not only wanted to cause pain to others, but she also wanted them to suffer even more and be more miserable than she was.
He clearly understands that kind of despair, that humiliation of having one's dignity torn apart and one's body violated, yet he can still be so cold-hearted as to come up with such despicable tricks to harm others.
Seeing Shen Cuifen rushing towards her, Yang Juanhua was terrified. She screamed and scrambled backward.
"Narcissus! Jianguo! Help me! She's going to kill me! I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!"
Lu Weidong and Lu Shuixian stood frozen in place, completely stunned.
They had never seen their mother so insane, nor had they ever seen such intense hatred in Shen Cuifen's eyes.
At this moment, Shen Cuifen felt only hatred.
Yang Juanhua shrank back, waving her hands wildly, but there was a wall behind her, and there was nowhere to retreat.
Her back slammed heavily against the wall with a dull thud, and a hand suddenly grabbed her neck, lifting her up.
Shen Cuifen slapped him hard across the face.
The blow knocked Yang Juanhua's head to one side, her ears ringing, and her mouth split open instantly, drawing blood.
"Go to hell!"
Shen Cuifen gritted her teeth.
"You heartless old hag! You don't even deserve to be a mother! You don't deserve to be a human being! You're not even as good as an animal!"
Shen Cuifen slapped him across the face, but that didn't satisfy her anger.
Yang Juanhua's neck was burning red.
The anger that had been simmering in her heart for so long not only did not subside, but instead burned even brighter.
She wished she had a rope in her hand right now, to wrap around Yang Juanhua's neck and tighten it, tighten it again, until she breathed her last.
The only visible rope was on the bed, hanging down to the edge.
A thick, grayish-brown hemp rope was tied in a tight knot, firmly securing it to the iron frame at the foot of the bed.
She reached out and tugged at it twice, but it didn't budge.
But the rope was tied in a knot that couldn't be untied.
She tried several times, her fingers aching from the friction, but there was no sign of it loosening.
The longer the time dragged on, the stronger her murderous intent grew.
She pounced on her, pressing down on Yang Juanhua with a fierce force, and grabbing her throat with both hands.
This time she really used all her strength, clenching her teeth and tensing her cheek muscles.
Yang Juanhua's eyes rolled back instantly, her pupils dilated, her face lost all color, her mouth opened wide but she couldn't take a breath, and a "gurgling" sound came from her throat.
No one expected Shen Cuifen to suddenly go mad.
The elderly couple from the Shen family were terrified on the spot.
Shen Xuelin suddenly stood up from his chair, not even feeling his knee hit the corner of the table.
The mother, Song Qiaoying, was so shocked that she covered her mouth with both hands and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Shen Guizhen and Shen Guizhi were also startled and jumped up.
Without thinking twice, they rushed forward.
One of them grabbed Shen Cuifen's arm tightly on each side and used all their strength to drag her backward.
Shen Guizhen grabbed her left arm, while Shen Guizhi pulled her right arm.
The two of them worked together to pull her away from Yang Juanhua, fearing that if they were a second late, someone would die.
"Calm down! You've just gotten divorced, you have a long and happy life ahead of you! If you really kill her, your life will be ruined!"
Shen Guizhen's voice trembled, and she almost cried out.
"Mom, please don't act impulsively! Our family is still here! You can't ruin yourself for someone like this!"
Shen Guizhi was also trying her best to persuade her, her voice trembling with tears.
Shen Cuifen was being held up, her legs kicking wildly on the ground as she struggled.
Her face flushed, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her temples throbbed.
However, her eyes remained fixed on Yang Juanhua, who was lying on the ground.
Even if it's just for ten or thirty more seconds, just to shut her up forever!
