Chapter 146
After the two got married, his mother-in-law always disliked him and would find fault with him from time to time.
Fortunately, her husband was a man of principle. He couldn't stand her making things difficult for him, so he bought a small house and moved out with her.
Life had only been getting better for a short time when her mother-in-law came knocking again, crying and begging to move in. As her daughter-in-law, she couldn't send her back, so she had no choice but to let her stay.
From the very first day I moved in, my mother-in-law started finding fault with everything. She would complain that the food was too salty, the rice was too hard, that my clothes didn't suit her taste, or that my jewelry annoyed her.
In short, she'll find some trivial things to do every day, and if you ignore her, she'll throw a tantrum and insist that you change.
I can tolerate all of this, after all, my husband is a very good person.
However, her mother-in-law secretly added a contraceptive to her herbal medicine, which she drank while pregnant, nearly causing her to miscarry.
Jin Wenting could no longer bear it and had a big fight with her mother-in-law, then ran away in a fit of anger.
When she saw Jingwu setting up his stall, she remembered that a friend had told her not long ago that there was a very effective master in the area, so she decided to come and have her fortune told.
She looked at the girl in front of her and sighed softly: "Master, can you tell me exactly when my mother-in-law will die? Or, when will she finally settle down?"
Jingwu gave the person in front of him a meaningful look before speaking.
Is it possible that your mother-in-law is doing this to save you?
"What do you mean?" Jin Wenting was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and immediately asked, "She almost caused me to miscarry, and she's saving me?"
"Does your husband have a deceased wife?"
Jin Wenting didn't understand why the person in front of her suddenly brought this up, but she still nodded honestly: "Yes, it is said that she was in poor health and died after catching a cold."
“No, she didn’t die of illness; she was beaten to death by your husband.” Jingwu looked into her eyes and said seriously.
Jin Wenting's eyes widened in disbelief. The image of her husband's gentle and considerate nature flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Is this person in front of me trying to frame me?
“Your husband isn’t as gentle as he seems; he’s actually a very short-tempered person. Your mother-in-law isn’t a troublemaker either; she just wants to force you to leave this way,” Jingwu said, picking up his teacup, taking a sip.
“Your husband has a bad temper. When he gets angry, he even hits his own mother. So your mother-in-law doesn’t dare to tell you openly. She can only do this secretly to force you to leave.”
Jin Wenting pursed her lips, truly unable to believe what she heard.
Time reveals true character. She had been with her husband for five or six years and had never seen him lose his temper. He had always been gentle and considerate. How could he be like the person in front of her was saying?
Jingwu seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "If you don't believe me, go to the tree in your backyard and dig around to see if there are any animal carcasses. Your husband has a violent temper and when he has nowhere to vent his anger, he catches some animals to vent his anger, tortures them to death, and then buries them under the tree."
Upon hearing this, Jin Wenting frowned, lowered her head, and seemed lost in thought.
Jingwu glanced at the time and said, "If you go back now, you'll probably witness your husband beating your mother-in-law. He was furious that your mother-in-law drove you away, and when he came back, he vented all his anger on your mother-in-law."
“How could that be? That’s his own mother!” Jin Wenting’s voice trembled as she said this.
She was extremely unwilling to believe it, yet inexplicably afraid that it was true.
“Although she is your husband’s biological mother, your husband, influenced by his father, has never treated her as his own mother. When his father beat his mother, he never hid it from him,” Jingwu said.
Upon hearing this, Jin Wenting hesitated for a moment, then immediately stood up, intending to go home and check. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "How could that be? That's his own mother. If it's not true, I'll come back to you when I get back."
Jingwu did not stop her, watching her figure walk further and further away.
When Jin Wenting got home, she heard a woman crying and screaming. She stopped in her tracks, terrified.
But the next second, she immediately pushed the door open and went in, only to be met with the scene that Jingwu had described.
The mother-in-law, her face bruised and swollen, was curled up on the ground, her hands covering her head as if begging for mercy.
Meanwhile, her husband, with a ferocious expression, was swinging his fists as he straddled his mother, delivering punch after punch.
"I told you not to cause trouble every day! It wasn't easy for me to get a wife, and you managed to take her away! Just like my father said, you should have died a long time ago!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Wenting felt a lump in her throat, her face filled with disbelief.
This is his own mother! How could he say such a thing? How could he hit her like that?
She instinctively rushed forward to pull her husband away.
"Are you crazy? Your mother is over seventy years old! You'll kill her if you hit her like that!"
Jin Wenting's husband was already blinded by rage and refused to stop, continuing to curse and swear.
"She deserved to die, she should have died long ago. Always causing trouble, she should have been taken away with her when my father died!"
When Jin Wenting realized she couldn't pull him away, she ran outside to find some neighbors who helped her stop him.
She quickly helped her mother-in-law up from the ground and took her to the clinic.
Jin Wenting was terrified by this incident. After taking her mother-in-law to the clinic, she immediately fled back to her parents' home.
She wants a divorce, she absolutely must get a divorce, people like that are truly terrifying!
After Jin Wenting told her father and brothers what had happened, they also found it very unbelievable.
He dared to lay a hand on his own mother; who knows when he might lay a hand on his wife?
The Jin family isn't poor; they can afford to raise their daughter. They can't let her suffer like this.
After discussing it, the family immediately went to Jin Wenting's husband's house and forced him to sign the divorce papers.
Jin Wenting's husband wanted to resist, but there were too many people there, and he was completely suppressed. He didn't dare to utter a word and signed the document in a cowardly manner.
After receiving the divorce papers, Jin Wenting immediately went to see a doctor. Upon learning that she might die if she didn't keep the child, she decided to give birth to the baby.
If you teach him properly, he definitely won't turn out like his biological father.
Not long after Jin Wenting returned to the Jin family, she heard that her former mother-in-law had died from her illness, and her mother-in-law's family had taken her ex-husband to the yamen, accusing him of murdering his own mother and being unfilial.
The authorities quickly investigated the matter thoroughly and, after confirming that he had murdered his mother, reported him to the imperial court, whereupon he was sentenced to death by hanging.
