Chapter 3: Tragic Woman 3

Chapter 3: Tragic Woman 3

Originally, the scumbag should have been begging to marry her.

But after she lost her innocence, she was the one forced to beg the scumbag to marry her.

Furthermore, the Chen family had seized leverage over her; they demanded twenty yuan and a new quilt as a dowry from her.

If she didn't provide the dowry, they would not agree to let her enter the household.

The Feng family had no money and could not produce the dowry, so Old Lady Chen blabbed about the fact that the original owner was no longer a virgin.

The once popular village beauty instantly became a "worn-out shoe."

Her reputation was utterly destroyed.

Wherever she went, people pointed fingers and mocked her, saying her belt was too loose, that she was desperate to marry, that she lacked men... and the lewd looks some men cast her way almost made her die of shame and fury.

At that moment, the original owner regretted it.

She ran to confront Chen Shengjun, questioning why the Chen family had spread the news and left her unable to show her face.

Moreover, she had even waived his bride price; why did he insist on her providing a dowry before he would agree to marry her?

However, Chen Shengjun put on a face of difficulty. "Yuanchun, my mother didn't spread it on purpose; she just had a slip of the tongue. Besides, that's my mother, and I cannot defy her. You should go back and persuade your grandmother to arrange the dowry as my mother requested. Otherwise, my mother won't agree to let you marry me."

Not even a hint of apology.

Not even a single "I'm sorry."

His words were laced with implicit threats.

Only then did the original owner realize that the man she had always liked, the man who constantly claimed to love her, was actually a sinister villain.

Before he had her, he made oaths of eternal love.

Once he had her, he revealed an ugly, hideous face.

Not only did he not want to pay a single cent of the bride price, but he also wanted to profit from her by demanding a dowry.

Was she, in his heart, not even as important as twenty yuan and a new quilt?

The original owner was disappointed.

And she regretted it.

After returning home, the original owner asked her grandmother to find a matchmaker to marry her off to a distant place; even if the man was a divorcee, she was willing.

To her surprise, a few days later, a group of people from the Red Committee rushed into the house and dragged her away.

And the informant was He Hongyu, a female educated youth who had just arrived in Feng Village.

A month later, news of the original owner's death arrived.

She had been tortured to death.

Her death was extremely humiliating.

She died a miserable death.

At the time of her death, she was not yet eighteen years old.

"What was the original owner's wish?" Yuanchun asked 007.

007 replied, "The original owner's wish was to take revenge on the Chen family, to make Chen Shengjun, He Hongyu, and the men who bullied her pay in blood, and to protect her family so they could all live in peace without being persecuted by bad people again."

"Good. Tell the original owner that I will definitely grant her wish."

Paying in blood—that was good.

When dealing with enemies, she loved seeing blood the most.

It would be best to first return tooth for tooth and eye for eye, letting them taste the same humiliation the original owner had suffered, and then make them pay in blood.

She would also let the Chen family taste the consequence of the Feng family being destroyed.

Following the memories in her mind, Yuanchun returned to the Feng home.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she called out loudly, "Grandmother, Father, Mother, I'm back!"

"Yuanchun, where did you go? Grandmother was looking for you just now, but you were nowhere to be seen." The eldest sister-in-law, Ding Chunli, came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

"My stomach hurt, so I went to squat in the latrine for a while." Yuanchun stepped forward and took the porridge from her sister-in-law's hands. "Sister-in-law, don't carry such heavy things in the future; call someone else. You're pregnant, you should take it easy with the chores."

The concern from her sister-in-law warmed Ding Chunli's heart, but she smiled and said, "We are country folk, we aren't that delicate. There are plenty of women who give birth while working in the fields."

Yuanchun looked disapproving. "Even so, you must be extra careful. For this autumn harvest, let Uncle go talk to the Village Chief to get you a lighter job."
