Chapter 123 Marrying an Old Man Who Kills His Wife

Knowing that he could be saved and could live for another few decades, Jiang's father was completely relieved and fell into a deep sleep with a deafening snoring. These days, he suspected every day that he was about to die and did not sleep well for a single day.

Jiang Hanyan and Jiang's mother left the room and gently closed the door. Jiang's mother sighed and asked in a low voice: "How many years can your father live?"

"You want him dead so badly?"

Jiang Hanyan sneered, this woman is really bold.

Jiang's mother turned pale with fear and shook her head vigorously, "No, why would I want your father to die? What would I do if he died?"

She couldn't earn money and couldn't handle farm work. If something really happened to her husband, she wouldn't be able to survive.

She sincerely hoped that her husband would live well, but she was worried that giving him too much medicine would affect his lifespan.

"Then how old do you hope he will live to?" Jiang Hanyan asked suddenly.

"About sixty."

Jiang's mother blurted out the words, and then covered her mouth with panic in her eyes. How could she say what was in her heart? She had calculated it accurately. Her husband was now 42 years old. He could still slaughter pigs for another 18 years when he was 60. The money he earned should be enough for her to live on in her old age. There was no need for her husband to live any longer. He was either beaten or scolded every day. She had had enough.

But you can't say such things.

"That's not what I meant. I hope your father lives a long life, really."

Jiang's mother explained anxiously, and Jiang Hanyan looked at her with a smile and went downstairs.

She was too lazy to care about the couple's affairs. After arriving in Shanghai, she decided to just let them fight each other.

"Hanyan, how is your father?" Jiang's mother ran downstairs to ask.

"You won't die, but you gave me so many drugs that it hurt my body. You need some good medicine to recuperate." Jiang Hanyan said half-truthfully.

"How much does that cost?"

"Thirty or forty thousand? Do you think I'm lying?"

Jiang Hanyan rolled her eyes. She couldn't give money to Jiang's mother this time. This woman was blinded by money. She dared to increase the dosage of the medicine secretly after tasting a little sweetness. If she was given more money, she might even kill her husband.

Jiang's mother's expression changed, and she stammered, "Does it really cost that much money?"

"What else?"

Jiang Hanyan sneered, knowing that this woman wanted money.

"Is it possible not to take tonic medicine?" Jiang's mother hasn't given up yet. She wants to save money for her retirement. With 40,000 yuan this time, she can at least make a few thousand, right?

"Of course."

Jiang Hanyan nodded. Jiang's mother was very happy. She wanted to ask him not to use too expensive tonic medicine, but she heard Jiang Hanyan say again: "I won't die, I will just lie there half dead. You have to serve me when I eat, drink, defecate and urinate. As long as you are happy, I don't mind."

"Then eat it."

Jiang's mother immediately changed her mind. She didn't want to serve the paralytic. She had had enough of it these past few days. It was so stinky that she was so sick that she couldn't eat.

It doesn’t matter if the money is gone. As long as my husband gets better, I can still earn it in the future.

There were cries and scolding coming from next door. Jiang Hanyan listened for a while and it sounded like Jiang Siyuan was crying.

"What's going on next door?"

"Your uncle has promised Siyuan a husband and he came to meet her today." Jiang's mother curled her lips. The man was about the same age as her uncle and was an old bachelor from the next village.

"That's great. What does that man do?" Jiang Hanyan was a little curious about which brave man would dare to risk having his head turned green and marry Jiang Siyuan.

"I heard he's a bricklayer, and he makes a lot of money, but he's a little old, the same age as your uncle. He had three wives before, and they all died. People say he's unlucky with wives."

Jiang's mother talked about the old bachelor's situation. Apart from being old and having three wives who had died, everything else was pretty good, except that he was a little tired of having wives.

"All three wives died of illness?" Jiang Hanyan asked with interest.

Jiang's mother shook her head. "One of them jumped into a pond, another hanged herself, and the third wife drank pesticide two years ago. They all said that their family's feng shui was bad."

This old bachelor was notorious throughout the area, and even widows were afraid to marry him for fear of being cursed to death.

Jiang Hanyan became even more interested. All three wives committed suicide, which should have nothing to do with Feng Shui. It was probably because there was something wrong with the man.

"I'm going back to the city. The medicine this time is a bit troublesome and it will take several days to prepare. Don't put any more medicine in these days." Jiang Hanyan reminded.

"I know. I will definitely not let you go." Jiang's mother responded repeatedly.

The mother and daughter walked to the door, and Jiang Siyuan's crying became louder and louder.

"I won't marry unless I die!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Go to hell, go now, you've made me lose all my face, die and it's all over!" Uncle Jiang looked ferocious, holding a stick in his hand, and beating Jiang Siyuan who was crying on the ground.

Xu Dongxiu watched from the side with an expressionless face and cold eyes.

Standing next to her was a man in his forties or fifties, tall and strong with dark skin. Like Heita, he was also looking at her expressionlessly.

Jiang Hanyan saw the man's face clearly and frowned. No wonder his three wives all wanted to commit suicide. The man's face showed that he had an extremely violent personality. Men with this kind of personality would usually commit domestic violence. If she guessed correctly, the first three wives might have chosen to commit suicide because they could not bear the domestic violence.

Don't ask why they don't divorce. In a small county like Fucheng, which is located in the countryside, many women do not have a high level of education and have never even left the county. They have limited knowledge and experience, and have been taught to be faithful to one person from childhood. Many women will not divorce even if they suffer all kinds of grievances. The only way out is death.

"I won't marry you, even if you kill me. You are breaking the law!"

Jiang Siyuan held her head, her body was covered with wounds, and she was in so much pain that she was out of mind.

She wanted to marry Tang Xuehai, not this old man.

"I raised you, so you have to marry me if I tell you to. You broke the law, but you studied a few more years and learned to talk back to me, right?"

Uncle Jiang whipped the stick with a ferocious look on his face. He had raised this bastard for twenty years and he still lost money if he sold it for ten thousand yuan.

"If you fight again, you'll be useless!"

Xu Dongxiu said coldly, stopping Uncle Jiang. She walked to Jiang Siyuan and advised softly, "With your current reputation, good families won't marry you. This Xiao Meng is a little older, but he's kind and can earn a lot as a bricklayer. You can live a good life if you marry him. Mom won't harm you."

"Why don't you marry him? You are the same age as him, and you are a good match."

Jiang Siyuan retorted that she didn’t want to marry him even if he could be her father.

Xu Dongxiu's expression changed, she raised her hand and slapped him, saying coldly: "It's not up to you whether you marry or not!"

She said to the bricklayer, "Xiao Meng, if you have no objection, the wedding is settled, and I will definitely prepare the banquet."

"I am willing to marry her. I will pay for the wedding banquet."

The bricklayer grinned. Ten thousand yuan was a bit expensive, but it was still quite a good deal as he had a young wife. Ever since his reputation of being unlucky in marriage spread, he hadn't slept with a woman for a long time. He missed it a lot.

When Jiang Siyuan saw the man’s big yellow teeth, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
