Chapter 235: Han Xiang’s Madness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Now, the entire Zhou Family Village was counting on Zhou Anshan and his wife to earn money.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Anshan’s wife, what happened?”
Han Xiang walked into the house in a daze.
Before the veil was removed, she could still rely on Han Qiao’s power to do whatever she wanted in the village and her in-laws’ family. Now, she had nothing.
“I’ll get Ah-Xiang to ask around. The deal won’t be delayed. Don’t worry, everyone.” Zhou Anshan kept explaining.
Actually, there was nothing he could do about it.
Without Zhou Anshan to buy firewood and other things, they had no place to sell them.
It was very cheap to send it to the county or town. It was not worth it.
“You must ask Anshan.”
“There is no such thing as a grudge between sisters. Let your wife apologize properly. They are sisters at the end of the day, and she will definitely forgive her.”
“Yes, yes.”
Outsiders didn’t know what the couple had done.
Some people were suspicious, but they didn’t dare to say it.
Zhou Anshan was panicking.
He said something that he himself did not believe and comforted the villagers to go home first.
When the courtyard was empty, he entered the house slowly.
He only saw a pair of feet dangling in front of him, and he was so scared that he screamed, “Ah-Xiang.”
He hurried and carried Han Xiang down.
“Ah-Xiang, Ah-Xiang…!”
It took Han Xiang a while to regain her senses. She looked at Zhou Anshan and was stunned for a moment.
“Zhou Anshan, why do you think we’ve come to this? Am I insensible, or is your Zhou family too greedy? Every time I want to change, you will use all kinds of methods to torture me and instigate me to do things that harm others and not myself.”
“At that moment just now, I wanted to die.”
“You shouldn’t have saved me.”
Zhou Anshan immediately cried.
The young couple had been together hand in hand and had two sons. Now, Han Xiang was pregnant with one. How could they not have any feelings for each other?
Of course, Zhou Anshan was even more afraid that after Han Xiang died, the Han family would come knocking on his door.
The disparity in wealth and reputation meant that the Zhou family could not gain any advantage.
“I was wrong, but I did it for our family and for the two children.”
Han Xiang cried her heart out.
Her heart was in a panic.
“I want to gain more, but we lose more because of our greed.”
Even As Han Xiang spoke, tears began to flow out of her eyes.
“I wasn’t like this in the past.”
Han Xiang was so regretful that her intestines turned green.
Then, she suddenly widened her eyes.
This was not the first time she had felt such remorse…
She always played the same trick, doing more and more vicious things, making people hate her.
She pushed Zhou Anshan away and glared at him with hatred, “Zhou Anshan, it’s you. You destroyed me.”
Zhou Anshan looked at Han Xiang, who seemed to have gone mad, and a vicious feeling flashed through his heart.
“You blame me?” He cursed without any scruples. “What right do you have to blame me for all this? You did it yourself. Han Xiang, don’t deny it. You’re a vicious person who can’t stand to see your sister doing well. Don’t think I don’t know that you want to marry a scholar, you despise me for being a farmer, and you’re thinking about your ex-brother-in-law.”
“Nonsense,” Han Xiang’s expression changed.
There were some things that she could lie to herself if she didn’t say them out loud.
However, after someone said it out in the open, that layer of cover was gone.
“Nonsense? You were thinking about Sun Yiming in the past, and now you’re thinking about Heng Yi. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from me.” Zhou Anshan’s red eyes
He couldn’t compare to Sun Yiming. No matter how bad Sun Yiming was, that man was still a scholar.
He couldn’t compare to Heng Yi either.
Heng Yi had been an official before, so he had money.
He was so jealous.
“Shut up, shut up!” Han Xiang screamed and pounced on Zhou Anshan.
Zhou Anshan’s face was scratched a few times.
While he was still in a daze, Mother Zhou pounced on Han Xiang, grabbed her, and gave her a few hard slaps.
Han Xiang came back to her senses and started fighting with Mother Zhou.
Han Xiang was pregnant, so she was no match for Mother Zhou, who worked all day long. Soon, she was beaten black and blue by her mother-in-law.
Mother Zhou didn’t dare to beat Han Xiang to death.
She was about to get up when Han Xiang grabbed her hair.
Then, her ear was bitten.
“AHH!”
When the scream rang out, the stunned Zhou Anshan hurriedly grabbed Han Xiang, “Ah Xiang, let go, let go!”
Han Xiang bit Mother Zhou’s ear tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Anshan had no choice but to raise his hand and hit Han Xiang on the head.
PA, PA, PA!
One slap after another.
Han Xiang’s head buzzed.
Outside the house came the cries of two children.
The eldest son cried and pounced on him, “Stop it! Stop hitting my mother!”
The elder son cried, and his younger brother cried.
Mother Zhou wailed in pain. Zhou Anshan tried to coax his wife, but Han Xiang seemed to have gone crazy and refused to let go.
When the villagers came over, they saw Zhou Anshan and Mother Zhou beating Han Xiang together.
Han Xiang’s body was covered in blood, and the room was filled with an iron scent.
It was an extremely terrifying sight.
An aunt went forward to pull her away. After she finally managed to pull Han Xiang away, she bit off one of Mother Zhou’s ears.
Mother Zhou cried out in pain. She then kicked Han Xiang a few times, “I’ll beat you to death, you b*tch!”
The eldest son rushed forward and hugged Han Xiang. He shouted at Mother Zhou, “You’re not allowed to hit my mother! You’re not allowed to hit my mother!”
Mother Zhou came back to her senses.
Seeing that Han Xiang was on the verge of death and covered in blood, she was shocked.
Zhou Anshan was already so stunned that he could not find his soul.
Someone had already rushed to Xishan Village to look for the Han family.
The Zhou family was discussing what to do about this matter. How to deal with the aftermath.
Later, the Han family learned that Han Xiang was beaten to death by Zhou Anshan and her mother-in-law, and she had a miscarriage.
They were angry and resentful.
Han Yuan immediately kicked her foot deep and shallow to call for help.
When Father Han and Brother Han heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
They left his things behind and hurried to the Zhou Village without washing their hands.
The Zhou family had already hired a doctor for Han Xiang.
The doctor was invited, but it was a barefoot doctor B in the town.
Facing Han Xiang’s serious injuries, they were helpless.
“I’ll send her to the county town.”
Father Zhou’s face darkened.
Seeing that there were more than ten people from the Han family, Father Zhou immediately went forward and wanted to say something, but Father Han pushed him away.
“If anything happens to my Ah-Xiang, I want Zhou Anshan to be buried with her.”
Han Yuan had already run into the house.
When the two children saw Han Yuan, they immediately threw themselves into her arms.
“Grandma, Grandma, Father, and Grandma Zhou hit Mother! They hit Mother!”
The older children could already remember things and knew what was good and bad.
Seeing his mother being beaten up, he was terrified. When he saw his grandparents, he knew that they were his mother’s parents and would protect his mother.
Zhou Anshan had already been beaten up by the Zhou brothers.
Not to mention the people of the Zhou Family Village, even the Zhou Brothers didn’t dare to go up and pull him away.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. 1 didn’t want to hit her. Everything was an accident. It was an accident…!” Zhou Anshan wailed.
The doctor suggested sending Han Xiang to the county town.
The Han family naturally had no objections.
Father Han asked Zhou Anshan to get the silver. The couple saved up for a few months to build a house and buy a carriage. They only had two or three taels of silver left.
Zhou Anshan did not dare to hesitate and quickly took out the silver.
Just this much?” Father Han questioned.
“Everything is inside.”
Zhou Anshan said hoarsely.
Father Zhou was silent for a moment, “I’ll go get another five taels of silver.”
He was also afraid that Han Xiang was really dead.
And if that happened, his wife and son would have to go to jail.
