She couldn't stand his constant neglect and indifference; he would harass her even in the outhouse, whenever her sister wasn't home.
I lived in fear and guilt every day. A week later, I went home, only to find that my sister-in-law was pregnant, which terrified me.
At that time, I no longer had the courage to commit suicide, and I lived in constant fear.
A month later, her menstrual blood finally came, and she was relieved.
But when Wang Jianguo arrived, he hid away as soon as he saw him.
When she finally had to go home, her parents made her go back with Wang Jianguo because her sister was pregnant.
I vehemently opposed it at the time, but my parents forced me to go.
Because of her sister's pregnancy, she had even less of a good time. Being pregnant, she was constantly sleepy, so Wang Jianguo would come to her room to sleep while her sister was asleep, and because he was afraid of getting pregnant, he would constantly give himself medication.
Days passed, and during the day she had to take care of her sister during her pregnancy, and at night she had to deal with Wang Jianguo.
I'm visibly losing weight. I'm even more scared, especially a few days before my period is due, I'm afraid it might be because I'm pregnant if it doesn't come.
Six months have passed, and I've given up on myself.
My sister got even fatter because of her pregnancy. Wang Jianguo became more and more disgusted with her, but she didn't realize it at all.
Sometimes I really envy my sister's easygoing nature; she must have an easier life that way.
Back then, Wang Jianguo and I were truly husband and wife. Wang Jianguo was too lazy to even touch my sister. I think I was happy about that.
I'm starting to see my sister less and less as my sister. The demons inside me keep tempting me, but I still don't have the courage to hurt my family.
Sometimes, when Wang Jianguo went too far at night, his pregnant sister would have to serve him. Looking back, I wonder if I felt proud at the time?
It wasn't until her sister gave birth to her nephew that she began to reflect on whether this was a long-term solution. Was she really going to spend her whole life following Wang Jianguo without knowing the truth?
It's so frustrating to even think about it, but I'm already a withered flower, so who can I marry?
After the liberation of the whole country, he followed the literacy classes in the city and gradually broadened his horizons. But Wang Jianguo was also lucky, rising from a small clerk to the position of deputy township head.
He realized that I was thinking of leaving, so he tortured me severely that night and threatened to deal with the people around me if I left.
She was truly unwilling to accept this situation. Wang Jianguo had finally made it big, but she couldn't be brought into the open. However, she couldn't bring herself to do it and had too many concerns, so she continued to live in his house.
Wang Jianguo hadn't touched his sister since she gave birth. His sister had complained to him that she was afraid Wang Jianguo would leave her. Was he secretly gloating at the time?
She probably only moved out after her nephew discovered her relationship with Wang Jianguo in the storage room when he was five years old. Only her simple-minded older sister remained unaware.
As darkness fell, Qian Xiu snapped out of her reverie.
She pushed away Wang Jianguo's arm, got up, put on her clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook.
I'm counting on him to support me, so I'll just make noodles instead.
When the aroma wafted from the kitchen, Wang Jianguo woke up, still groggy and unsure of where he was. He lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) staring blankly at the ceiling.
Qian Xiu finished cooking and came in to call Wang Jianguo. Only then did he come to his senses. Looking at Qian Xiu walking towards him, he felt extremely smug. Such a beautiful woman was willingly following him; his vanity was satisfied.
After they finished eating, the two sat in the courtyard to digest their food.
"Xiu, don't touch the money I gave you last time. You'll probably have to give it back."
"What's wrong?"
"The higher-ups are pressing us hard, it's not easy to handle. It's all because of that good-for-nothing Hu Aiguo who's incompetent."
"He's bad at everything he does." Qian Xiu also disliked him a lot. What woman would want to be left alone in an empty room?
"Hehe, I just love that he's bad at that, so you'll always be mine."
Qian Xiu ignored him. This man was becoming more and more selfish, always trying to monopolize her.
Suddenly a group of people burst in and caught the two of them red-handed.
Wang Jianguo was dumbfounded. Who had the audacity to do this? But he didn't recognize any of these people.
Trying to calm herself down, she said, "Who are you? This is trespassing! And bring us your clothes right now!" None of the men responded; they just stared at them blankly.
A jumble of footsteps echoed in the courtyard; a large group of people rushed in, some even shining flashlights at them.
Wang Jianguo knew he was finished this time; he had never felt this strongly before.
His deputy, Zhou Qiang, slowly walked over. "Someone reported you for having illicit relationships. The evidence is conclusive. Go to the police station."
"You're really good, Zhou Qiang, you're really good!" Wang Jianguo was furious. This was like a hunter who had been hunting geese for years and still got pecked in the eye.
“I’m fine, but I’m afraid that Township Chief Wang is not. They even found out that you stole state property, so Township Chief Wang can figure out what to do with you from now on! Take him away, give the women clothes, and the men can go for a walk in the streets.”
"Zhou Qiang, don't go too far! Are you really that clean?" Wang Jianguo was furious. How could he face the world if he was left naked?
“Whether I’m clean or not, someone will investigate. There’s no need for Township Head Wang to worry about that.”
Four women came over and pinned down Qian Xiu, who was dressed, while four men dragged the naked Wang Jianguo down.
As they stepped out of the courtyard, someone started banging a gong, shouting, "Let's fight the slut!"
There's practically no entertainment these days, otherwise every family wouldn't have so many children. Everyone gets dressed and leaves their homes upon hearing the gong.
Everyone was stunned by the bustling scene outside. This is something that ordinary people love to talk about.
Wang Jianguo hung his head, his face ashen. This time, it was all really over.
Suddenly, a piercing wail came from ahead: "Wang Jianguo, you heartless bastard! If you ask me, you've never touched me since our son was born, and you're always protecting this vixen. So you two have been having an affair all along! How could you two do this to me?"
Qian Fen rushed over, forcing the march to stop.
Qian Fen slapped Qian Xiu across the face. "How could you do this to me? I'm your own sister!"
Qian Xiu's head was knocked to the side. She slowly raised her head to look at her sister, now knowing she had no way out. "I've been with him ever since I was fifteen, after he raped me. What can I do?"
