Chapter 215 Li Hongjuan's Second Marriage
Li Hongjuan was unwilling.
Putting everything else aside, her second husband is far less attractive than Zhong Chengfa.
This man was big and burly, dark-skinned and fat. In this day and age, to grow so tall, his family must be quite well-off, otherwise they wouldn't have enough food to raise him to be so big.
Most importantly, his nostrils flared outwards, his eyes were small, and all his facial features were squeezed together.
It's so ugly!
The man was quite satisfied with Li Hongjuan, after all, she looked quite pretty.
This man was also remarried. He said his first wife had passed away, leaving him with a son and a daughter.
Li Hongjuan was mentally prepared to become a stepmother after marrying into the family, but it was clear that she was far too unprepared.
The eldest son of this family is already twelve years old and almost as tall as Li Hongjuan. On the first day she entered the house, she headbutted Li Hongjuan in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
He also called her a slut, a whore, and used every nasty insult imaginable.
The youngest daughter was already ten years old and always looked gloomy. That very night, she stuffed caterpillars into Li Hongjuan's clothes.
How did Li Hongjuan know it was her who did it?
When she saw the caterpillar scream in fright, the ten-year-old girl stood to the side, gave her a sinister smile, and said, "So afraid of caterpillars? What about rats, cockroaches, and snakes?"
Li Hongjuan felt a chill run down her spine.
What Li Hongjuan found most unbearable were her in-laws from her second marriage.
Her father-in-law was quite short, with small eyes and an upturned nose, but his gaze was exceptionally lewd. As soon as she entered the door, this man in his fifties looked her up and down and back and forth several times as if she were a piece of merchandise.
Her mother-in-law was more than a head taller than her father-in-law, and was also big and burly with small eyes.
Although she was smiling, when she looked at Li Hongjuan, her eyes held a barely perceptible hatred.
Li Hongjuan doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand.
That night, when she was in bed with her husband, Gao Guixi, she was in even more pain.
Gao Guixi was ugly but strong. She was tormented by him to the point of despair, and any slight resistance would result in a slap.
Not only that, she had to cooperate with whatever he wanted to do.
Li Hongjuan felt like she was being tormented like a rag doll.
That's not all. On the first day after she entered the family, her in-laws treated her somewhat well. But the next morning, her mother-in-law dragged her out of bed and forced her to make breakfast.
Even when making breakfast, her mother-in-law still kept a close eye on the family's food supplies. Every time, she would scoop out the cornmeal and then watch her make it, afraid that she would steal even a single bit.
What's infuriating is that her mother-in-law only gave her this much food, and even after she cooked it, she still got scolded by those two brats.
She said it wasn't tasty, that she couldn't get enough, and that it was all her fault.
Li Hongjuan was so angry that she trembled all over.
That old hag only gave us this little bit of food. How much could she possibly cook? Was she supposed to add more herself?
Today, that brat even threw corn porridge right in her face.
"You're feeding us this kind of pig swill?"
Fortunately, the cornmeal porridge had cooled down for a while and was still a bit hot, but not hot enough to burn anyone.
But then that big kid kicked her in the stomach.
After divorcing Zhong Chengfa, Li Hongjuan returned to her parents' home. She stayed there for less than a month, and the little weight she had managed to gain at Zhong Chengfa's house quickly disappeared.
So she couldn't withstand the big kid's kick and fell straight off the bench to the ground.
Li Hongjuan's pent-up grievances poured out immediately, and she burst into tears.
Gao Guixi stepped forward and slapped him across the face: "What are you crying for! Kneel down properly for me!"
Seeing that she didn't understand, Gao Guixi also went up and kicked her.
He was much stronger than the big boy. Li Hongjuan almost vomited blood after being kicked, so she had to kneel down.
The others ignored her and continued eating.
The old woman served the eldest son another bowl and poured the corn porridge from Li Hongjuan's bowl directly into her own.
No one spoke another word to Li Hongjuan.
Li Hongjuan knelt to one side, not daring to speak, and could only cry softly.
She wondered again, how did she become like this?
If I hadn't divorced Zhong Chengfa, even if he beat me every day, things wouldn't have come to this...
After they finally finished eating, the old woman asked Li Hongjuan to clean up.
Li Hongjuan's eyes were swollen from crying as she cautiously asked, "Mom, I... I haven't eaten yet?"
The old woman admired her current appearance before speaking with a sneer, "Want to eat? Isn't there some on the ground?"
Li Hongjuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
On the ground?
She looked down at the ground; it was what that big brat had splashed on the ground.
Just then, that little brat deliberately walked over here and stomped heavily on the cornmeal porridge on the ground.
She chuckled and said, "I have it on my shoes too. You little slut, you're not going to lick my shoes, are you?"
Li Hongjuan's anger flared up instantly.
You little bitch? You're the fucking little bitch!
She certainly wouldn't eat the corn porridge on the ground, and she could only suppress her anger and hunger, meekly cleaning up the dishes.
But while she was washing, her tears streamed down her face like they were free.
After dinner, Li Hongjuan was forced to go to work again.
She had just arrived in the village and didn't know anyone, but as soon as she started to slack off, the old hag would appear out of nowhere and either kick her or pinch her.
After three days, there wasn't a single patch of healthy flesh left on her arm.
Once they got to the field, after working for a while, Li Hongjuan finally had a chance to slack off when she saw the old woman go to the toilet. She couldn't help but start wiping away tears again.
An auntie in the field next door couldn't help but sigh and mutter something under her breath.
"Poor thing! Gao Guixi's first two wives were tortured to death by his family... I wonder how long this third wife can last..."
Li Hongjuan didn't know.
What Li Hongjuan didn't know was that the nightmare was yet to come.
That evening, after washing up, she was preparing to endure Gao Guixi's torment when, unexpectedly, Gao Guixi and his father came in together.
Li Hongjuan was already taking off her clothes when she saw the two men come in. She screamed and quickly pulled the blanket over herself, trying to cover her body.
Unexpectedly, Gao Guixi impatiently pulled the blanket away and threw it aside.
"What's there to cover up!" He uttered words that sent chills down Li Hongjuan's spine. "Lie down! Let Dad try! Hurry up and give me a son!"
Old Gao's gaze lingered greedily on Li Hongjuan's body before he finally uttered, "This one isn't as voluptuous as the last one, she's got no meat on her bones!"
