Chapter 229
Wen Xin finally understood why he never let her know what he was doing in her past life.
He was afraid of bringing the Yan family curse to her!
Did he take all the blame when she was murdered in his past life, believing that his greed in keeping her by his side was what caused her to suffer?
Wen Xin's heart clenched, a sharp, aching pain washing over her.
She really wanted to tell him that no, it was all the fault of that lousy Heavenly Dao plot and Xu Haoyu and the others, and that he had no responsibility or fault whatsoever.
If he was wrong to save her and protect her?
She shouldn't have appeared in front of him in the first place. Otherwise, he could have lived a carefree life in his past life without getting involved in that messy, tragic love story.
However, Wen Xin could only keep these words in her heart and couldn't say them aloud.
But the past life is already gone!
As for the curse from the Yan family, it would have absolutely no effect on her.
In the end, however, Wen Xin didn't ask any more questions or say anything more. She pretended to be clueless about such things, as long as it put him at ease.
However, she didn't expect that Yan Zeli would only be away for a short while, and then rumors would spread in the village that he had rejected her and was going to divorce her to marry the daughter of a powerful figure and reach the pinnacle of life?
Wen Xin: "..."
So, which brilliant strategist is so impatient with life?
Wen Xin, who was staying at home, was unaware of the rumor until her younger sister excitedly ran over to tell her.
Ah, speaking of Wen Man?
After she and Wen Gui caused a scene at the Yan family that day, Wen Dafu and his wife were extremely disgusted with her and let Chen Shengxiong take her back.
The Chen couple went to propose marriage that very night.
The Wen couple were truly exceptional; as long as the money was there, they didn't care about any formalities, and they didn't even hold a wedding banquet.
This isn't marrying off a daughter; it's clearly selling her!
The Chen family is a bunch of idiots. In their view, their son is getting married for the second time, so what's the point of making such a big fuss?
Why give the woman face? What if she gets too smug and tries to take advantage of her son?
A daughter-in-law who doesn't give birth to a son is worthless and should be severely punished!
The Chen family was shrewd; fearing that Wen Man might not acknowledge the marriage or might run off with another man, they gave her money and then had their son take her to the village committee to get the marriage certificate.
Wen Man threw a huge tantrum, shouting that she would rather die than marry Chen Shengxiong...
Good heavens, Chen's parents went up and beat her up, and then Wen Dafu and his wife came over and beat her up too.
Both sets of parents uttered the most outrageous statement: "You were born a member of the Chen family, and you will die a ghost of the Chen family!"
You won't marry me? Fine! I'll beat you to death first! Let Chen Shengxiong marry your memorial tablet instead!
Wen Man was filled with both hatred and fear. Naturally, she didn't want to really die, so she could only obediently go with Chen Shengxiong to get their marriage certificate, following the same path as in her so-called previous life.
Wen Man hated God's injustice. Why did He have to torment her like this in both her lives? Why did He make her suffer so much?
But she doesn't seem to realize that her current predicament is entirely of her own making.
Did someone ask her to harm Wen Xin?
Lazy, selfish, jealous, twisted, and harmful to others... Isn't it normal for such people to get their comeuppance?
What right does she have to complain here?
However, due to the influence of the perfume system, Chen Shengxiong did not beat or scold her after marriage.
Wen Man gradually grew bolder, even planning to use Chen Shengxiong to deal with the old geezers of the Chen family.
However, although Chen Shengxiong was a scoundrel, he was a father's son and a mother's son, and always listened to his parents. He directly relayed all of Wen Man's words that had instigated their relationship to his parents.
As one can imagine, under the wrath of the Chen couple, Wen Man was nearly beaten to death again.
They weren't killed, but they were starved for several days.
However, if it weren't for Xu Haoyu, the "deeply affectionate" male protagonist, climbing over the wall to find her, she probably would have starved to death.
Listening to Xiao Jin's gossip, Wen Xin expressed a slight regret, but not much.
Starving to death is such a dignified way to die. Does Wen Man deserve it?
However, Xu Haoyu, a former educated youth, climbed over the wall to find someone else's wife and was caught red-handed by the Chen family. The incident even went to the village chief, and his reputation was completely ruined.
However, Xu Haoyu not only didn't realize his mistake, but also shouted that he and Wen Man were the true love, and that the Chen family was domineering and had stolen his lover, blah blah blah!
Wen Man: "..." Damn, this is really bad luck!
The Chen family was so angry they almost killed him on the spot.
Although he didn't get the job in the end, Xu Haoyu was confined for several days and his eligibility to return to the city was revoked.
He had no idea how serious the consequences would be, but Wen Man was almost frantic with worry.
What is the male lead, Xu Haoyu, doing?
They're always messing with her, causing her to be tortured by those two old bastards from the Chen family, and now they've even canceled her eligibility to return to the city.
Given his crazy behavior, will he still be able to get into the top university in the provincial capital next year with the highest score in Shanglin Commune?
Will I still be able to become a domineering CEO in the future?
Wen Man couldn't help but begin to doubt whether her memories of her past lives were real.
After all, Xu Haoyu doesn't seem very smart now, and he's not as outstanding and charming as I remember him.
What exactly happened?
With the system dormant and Wen Man having no one to consult, she became somewhat neurotic and erratic, which only made the Chen couple dislike her more and more.
Since she had been married to Chen Shengxiong for some time but had not conceived, the Chen family became even more critical of her.
They even prepared a lot of strange medicinal soups for her to drink, hoping that she could give birth to a big, healthy boy sooner.
Wen Man refused, and the Chen family either beat her or locked her up and starved her.
Chen Shengxiong, the man who truly loved her, would only tell her to be obedient and listen to her parents, and then he would just watch coldly.
Wen Man: "..." Screw your true love!
Later, she was so afraid of being tormented that she finally realized her mistake and stopped causing trouble, obediently becoming a slave to the Chen family.
After coming to the Chen family, Wen Man finally realized that there was so much housework, and that it was so difficult and tiring.
Just like Wen Xin before her, she gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs.
But it's impossible for her to feel guilty towards Wen Xin. She will only resent her older sister for always being so lucky and blame all the suffering she is experiencing on Wen Xin.
How much conscience and brains can someone have to take away their sister's husband and harm her after being given a chance to "rebirth"?
When Wen Man heard that Wen Xin was going to be abandoned by Yan Zeli and was about to suffer misfortune, she was overjoyed. She immediately put down her housework and risked being beaten and scolded by the Chen family to come and see her make a fool of herself and how miserable she would be!
