Chapter 793: Chapter 793: The Substitute Bride Sister 8

"Sob... Mom, I was wrong. I regret it now. I shouldn’t have married Wu Hongwei. I was deceived by him, sob, Mom, you don’t know, his family is so poor, over twenty people living in a one-room apartment. For eight years, I’ve been sleeping on the floor in the living room; I’ve never touched a bed, Mom, sob... I’m so regretful now."

"I have no job. My mother-in-law despises me, my sisters-in-law taunt me, even my sister-in-law gives me attitude, sob. Every day I have to serve twenty people from the Wu family, doing more work than an ox, eating less than a chicken. Yet my mother-in-law still thinks I eat too much, and my sisters-in-law say I eat for free, sob. I’m so wronged. Why do they get to eat right after work without doing any housework, just because they have jobs? But their salaries aren’t given to me, so why do I have to serve them, even wash their clothes, sob..."

"Mom, these years I’ve lived bitterly, I’m too ashamed to tell you, afraid you’d laugh at me, look down on me. I didn’t dare come back; I didn’t even have money for a bus ticket back. Wu Hongwei, that beast, made promises when he took me back to the city that he’d be good to me. But once I got to the Wu family, he became like a different person; he hit me..."

Li Hongchun rolled up her sleeves, revealing the scars underneath.

There were old scars and new ones.

Covered in scars.

Layer upon layer.

Mrs. Li hugged her, crying in pain.

"Mom, several times Wu Hongwei almost beat me to death, but I have a strong life force and managed to survive, Mom... sob, your daughter almost couldn’t see you again, sob..."

Li Hongchun cried her heart out, overwhelmed by pain.

Mrs. Li cried too.

Before, the eldest daughter only mentioned regretting marrying Wu Hongwei, being abandoned by Wu Hongwei, without talking about her life with the Wu family. Mrs. Li understood her eldest daughter’s character, thinking she might have been abandoned for not being virtuous enough by Wu Hongwei.

Unexpectedly, her eldest daughter suffered greatly.

Mrs. Li wailed, "Wu Hongwei, that beast, how can he hit you like this, our Li family didn’t treat him poorly."

She gently tapped her eldest daughter, scolding, "You silly girl, why didn’t you tell us earlier? You’re not an orphan without a family to support you, how can you let the Wu family bully you like this."

Li Hongchun sniffled, saying, "Mom, it’s my own fault for not being competent. I’ve been married for so many years, but there’s no sign of pregnancy, sob... Mom, your daughter doesn’t want this either, but what can I do? I can’t conceive, I’m afraid of being abandoned by Wu Hongwei, I don’t dare tell you, I..."

Li Hongchun cried, hiccupping.

Mrs. Li sighed and comforted her eldest daughter, "Hong Chun, it’s all in the past now. The past is gone. Wu Hongwei is worthless as a person, divorcing him is good for you. You can stay at home, and Mom will take care of you."

"If you can’t conceive, then you can’t. You can marry again; I’ll find you a good man with a child. As long as you marry him and treat his child well, you won’t have to worry about having no one to take care of you in old age."

"Mom, I don’t want to marry, sob, I... I want to go to the city, Mom, I don’t want to stay in Tufang Village. If the villagers find out I’ve been abandoned by Wu Hongwei, they would laugh at me to death."

Li Hongchun looked longingly at Yuan Chun, "Yuan Chun, can you take me in for a while? Don’t worry, just for a while is fine. Once I find a job, I will certainly move out and not bother you."

Li Hongchun knows Yuan Chun is resistant to having her live with the Meng family, so she is trying to compromise by suggesting a temporary stay instead of a permanent one.
