Chapter 79: Men deserve to be punished

Zhou Dong raised his head suddenly and looked at her.

Only then did I realize that along with the words, the girl's tears were also falling.

A crystal clear teardrop slowly fell from Chen Xiang's fair and tender face and landed on the back of her hand.

It splashes into a natural small pool of water.

It was like a flawless crystal hitting the ground and instantly shattered into pieces. At the same time, the tear also hit Zhou Dongmeng's heart.

His heart ached bitterly.

For a moment, he couldn't tell which was torn into pieces: the girl's tears or his heart.

Chen Xiang looked back at the man.

There was pain in her wet eyes, but it was hidden by the tears in her eye sockets. Only a hint of heartbreak was revealed. She never thought that Zhou Dongmeng could say such words and still be so calm!

She was foolish enough to think that he had changed his mind towards her.

Even if she didn't like him that much, at least she wouldn't hate herself as much as she did on the day of her wedding. It turned out...it turned out that this was all her fantasy.

From beginning to end, Zhou Dongmeng always hated her.

Look.

After just a few days, he could no longer bear it and asked her to leave.

Why?

Why can't he care about her?

Chen Xiang wiped the tears from her face with her backhand, her voice choked with sobs as she asked, "Are you going to divorce me?"

Zhou Dongmeng: “…Yes!”

Chen Xiang saw that his expression was dull and she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

She asked again: "Zhou Dongmeng, was it me who treated you badly, or your family? You have to tell me clearly why you want to divorce. Do you think I, Chen Xiang, am not worthy of you and not suitable to be your wife, or do you have someone else in your heart? Or do you want to find a better wife in the future... If you can tell me a reason, we can get divorced today, without waiting until tomorrow!"

"Otherwise, what would happen if you sent me back to my eldest brother's house in a confused state?"

Zhou Dong suddenly stood up: "There is no one in my heart!"

Chen Xiang was still sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly raised, watching Zhou Dongmeng walk up to her, bend his long legs, squat in front of her, and look up at her.

Chen Xiang looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Suddenly, for a moment, the corners of her lips curled up, and she actually found it very funny.

She remembered that the last time the man squatted in front of her, he took out their marriage certificate in front of the whole village, but today he came to persuade her to divorce him properly.

Chen Xiang clasped her hands together and placed them on her legs.

She is waiting.

Waiting for Zhou Dongmeng to give a reason.

The feeling of waiting was like ants crawling up her back, wearing away her patience bit by bit. Anxiety and bitterness all surged into her heart. Chen Xiang placed her clasped hands on her legs and kept tickling her fingernails.

Zhou Dong suddenly lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the girl's hand. A piece of skin next to the thumb nail was scratched by her index finger.

He reached out and held her hands tightly. His warm fingertips gently brushed Chen Xiang's fingertips and said softly, "What's wrong with them?"

Maybe she has been using ointment and hand cream these days.

My hands are much better now, not as bruised as they were a few days ago...

Zhou Dongmeng twitched his lips and whispered, "Xiangxiang, you are a very good girl, willing to sacrifice for me and work hard for this family. It is me, Zhou Dongmeng, who is not worthy of you. I am dragging you down! I don't want to see you suffer so much. You could have married a better man instead of me."

“Xiangxiang…”

"What I hate most is letting you suffer. Watching you push a cart to the county alone, my heart aches. I really, really can't stand it."
