Chapter 171 Qualifying Match (5)
Since then, Chen Wangxi's domestic violence has escalated.
His paranoia grew increasingly severe.
Once, he brought friends to his home, and Qiu Niang specially prepared a table of dishes, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal very much.
However, when Chen Wangxi saw Qiu Niang chatting with her friends, a strange sense of jealousy welled up in his heart.
After his friend left, he immediately became enraged, questioning Qiu Niang about why she was smiling so brightly and whether she was trying to get rid of him and seduce his friend.
Qiu Niang was baffled: "That's your friend. My being warm to him is giving you face, isn't it?"
Chen Wangxi relentlessly interrogated Qiu Niang for an extended period, depriving her of sleep and food.
Qiu Niang explained wearily, "I really didn't have any other intentions, why don't you believe me?"
Chen Wangxi sneered, "Hmph, who knows what you're thinking?"
Time passed second by second. Qiu Niang, whose health was already poor, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her vision went black, and she fainted...
This happened more than once or twice. Every time after the domestic violence, Chen Wangxi would hug Qiu Niang and explain that it was because he cared about her too much.
Qiu Niang forgave him time and time again.
Life just went on like that, making do.
However, recently, some extraordinary rumors have been circulating in the town.
A traveling merchant appeared in the town and recognized Chen Wangxi.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the small town.
While Chen Wangxi was working, some busybodies came up to him to ask for confirmation. Upon hearing the question, his face instantly turned ashen.
After asking the shopkeeper for leave, Chen Wangxi went home.
As soon as he entered the house, without saying a word, he dragged Qiu Niang into the room.
Qiu Niang looked at him in horror, wondering what she had done wrong again, her voice trembling: "What are you going to do?"
Chen Wangxi said fiercely, "It's all because of you that my past has been brought up."
He picked up the rope and roughly tied his wife up.
Seeing that he seemed different this time, Qiu Niang struggled and cried out, "It wasn't me! I don't know anything!"
Chen Wangxi ignored him completely, picked up a whip, and lashed Qiu Niang hard.
Each lash was filled with anger and fear, making a cracking sound.
Qiu Niang groaned in pain, "Please, stop hitting me, I was wrong."
Although she had no idea what she had done wrong, she couldn't stand this kind of playing style and had no choice but to admit her mistake.
But Chen Wangxi showed no sign of stopping until Qiu Niang was covered in wounds and lost consciousness.
He looked at his unconscious wife, a hint of regret flashing through his mind, but it was quickly overshadowed by fear.
What can he do? Everyone in town knows. How can he face anyone in this world?
Chen Wangxi knocked on the gate of the Chen family's courtyard that very night and went to see Gu Shijiu.
Gu Shijiu was about to go to sleep when she heard about the incident.
But ultimately, this is someone else's business; what does it have to do with her?
"Mother, please save your son." Chen Wangxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "I know I have brought shame to the Chen family, but I don't want to die."
Gu Shijiu perked up at this: "What, will being a male prostitute kill you?"
Chen Wangxi was shocked and indignant that his mother would say such things so bluntly.
"I didn't go willingly! I was sold by human traffickers."
Gu Shijiu nodded in agreement: "Human traffickers are indeed despicable. Did you report them to the authorities?"
“What’s the use of reporting to the authorities? Those places are just backed by local officials.” Chen Wangxi said with great distress.
Gu Shijiu didn't know what to do either: "Then why did you come to find me?"
"The elders must already know, and they will definitely punish me according to the clan rules!" Chen Wangxi was terrified of death.
He survived such difficult circumstances, and now he has even less desire to die.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Gu Shijiu shook her head, appearing somewhat indifferent.
"Mother, I was only deceived by Qiu Niang when I was young. Can you really bear to watch me die?"
Chen Wangxi looked on incredulously.
Gu Shijiu stared at him, unsure how to explain that it was because she had seen the plot.
Her expression late at night was truly chilling.
Chen Wangxi took two steps back: "You're not my mother, what are you, you...you—"
Before he could finish speaking, due to extreme fear and damage to certain functions of his brain, he urinated all over the ground.
Gu Shijiu frowned: Disgusting.
Chen Wangxi seemed to have suffered a great shock. He pushed open the door and ran out, taking off his clothes as he ran around the house.
Gu Shijiu had the room cleaned, but still felt nauseous, so she decided to sleep in another room.
As for the insane Chen Wangxi, he was naturally sent back to where he came from.
When the servants took her back, Qiu Niang was weeping. She was covered in wounds and didn't know what had happened.
Chen Wangxi forbade her from going out or talking to others, otherwise he would beat her severely if he saw her.
The servants didn't know what to say, so they just dropped the person off and left.
Qiu Niang cried even harder.
Three days later, the clan elder indeed arrived.
Originally, they wanted to first blame Gu Shijiu for turning the two men of the Chen family into good-for-nothings;
Then, take advantage of the situation to attack the Chen family branch, and ideally, seize the opportunity to take another bite out of them.
Chen Wangnan found it difficult to defend himself, so Gu Shijiu had no choice but to persuade them with reason and engage in a heated but friendly debate with them.
The clan elders had not expected her to be so fierce, and all their original plans were abandoned.
Besides, Chen Wangxi has already gone mad, so what else is there to say?
Only then did Qiu Niang realize that her husband had been doing such a thing outside the marriage.
She almost vomited: "Madam, Chen Wangxi is a fraudster. I want a divorce."
Gu Shijiu couldn't help but correct her: "Being a male prostitute before marriage doesn't count as marriage fraud."
It's not in the law, at least not.
Of course, Gu Shijiu wouldn't stop her from getting a divorce.
only--
"If you get divorced, you can't live in the Chen family's house or spend the Chen family's money. Where will you go?"
Chen Wangnan reminded him.
In this situation, the woman would normally go back to her parents' home.
But Qiu Niang's family couldn't come up with a proper solution after thinking for a long time, and she burst into tears.
In the end, the divorce did not go through.
Chen Wangxi has gone mad. He can at least get a sum of money from the Chen family every month, which is more than he earns from working, and he also has two servants who come to take care of him.
Qiu Niang decided to find a suitable person to remarry before leaving.
I should have waited for the boss.
Qiu Niang regretted it countless times. Who could have imagined that Chen Wangxi would be such a scoundrel?
This guy now dresses up in flashy clothes and wanders the streets every day, striking up conversations with any decent-looking man he sees.
The servants sent by Gu Shijiu only took care of his food, drink, toileting, and safety, and that he should not harm others; they did not care how his own family members were abandoned.
Qiu Niang really couldn't understand how there could be someone like her mother-in-law.
Could it be that both of her sons falling in love with her was such a blow to her? I should have known better than to provoke her.
Qiu Niang feels nauseous whenever she sees Chen Wangxi, but she can't leave right now because he's his wife.
There wasn't a suitable family to be found anytime soon, and seeing that disgusting sight every day, I got used to it after a while.
