Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 714 - 688: Contemplation (Additional Update)_3
In fact, you really are quite miserable. Li Fugui is interested in you, making things difficult for you everywhere, and even harmed your father. As a result, for over a decade, the villagers can’t stop talking about you.
I looked at your situation, even more pitiful than mine, feeling a sense of satisfaction. So much so that I boldly took out the three hundred yuan from the letter. I secretly spent a few yuan.
It was that money that doomed me. One day my son accidentally pulled out that letter and money, just as Ye Weijun saw it.
Later, he took the letter and interrogated me. Seeing that I couldn’t hide it, I told him everything. I originally thought he would give the letter to you, and I even begged him all night not to reveal the matter.
Who knew his intention was to cover it up, considering it was three hundred yuan. Enough for our family to live well for several years.
Later, Ye Weijun took the letter and money and hid them, spending all day using that money to buy wine, drinking with his shady friends.
Initially, it seemed nothing, but later, as they drank more and more, his friends talked drunkenly about me and Wu Guodong. He felt my situation embarrassed him in front of his friends. With pent-up anger, he began to hit me.
The first time he hit me, I believed I owed him, so I didn’t resist and didn’t tell my family.
Everyone says hitting becomes addictive. From then on, whenever Ye Weijun got drunk, he would hit me to let off steam. It never stopped.
I deserved it. If I hadn’t secretly taken your money, Ye Weijun would have remained the idle villager without money for wine. Then nothing later would have happened. I wouldn’t be here now.
Hongmei, I promise to repay that money when I get out"
Liang Hongmei gave her a deep look. "What you owe me isn’t just the three hundred yuan. You and your daughter owe the Liang Family a life. The villagers all know, back then, Li Fugui deliberately put a hat on my father’s head. At his age, living with the cows was bad enough, but Li Fugui would find new ways to beat him. Not once did my father escape without bruises. His illness wasn’t from a cold, but because Li Fugui hit his vital spot. Originally, a hospital stay for ten days or half a month would have healed him. But we had no money. This matter, my father only secretly told my mother, to avoid burdening me. They hid it from me until my father died, and then I learned the truth. Qiu Hualan, can you imagine my mother watching my father leave her just like that, can you imagine it? Can you?"
"Hongmei, I’m sorry!"
"Can ’sorry’ bring back the lives of my parents? Can ’sorry’ stop the villagers from pointing fingers at me all these years? Can ’sorry’ make up for the suffering we’ve endured?"
"Hongmei..."
"And your despicable daughter. Just like you, isn’t she envious that my daughter studies better, is more beautiful, and has a doting brother and mother? Saying it’s because we didn’t save her back then, holding a grudge against my family Xiao Wan, all excuses."
"You... you all know"
"Do you think when your daughter repeatedly framed us, we should play fools? I not only know about your daughter being raped, I know who did it. Furthermore, Qiu Hualan, I know who really killed Ye Weijun."
"Hongmei? How do you know... Please, don’t, don’t say it out loud, I’m begging you, I beg you" Qiu Hualan’s heart turned cold at this moment. It chilled her to the bone. She was terrified of Liang Hongmei exposing her. She had come this far and couldn’t afford to let her daughter be implicated.
"A secret won’t remain hidden... Qiu Hualan, rest assured, I won’t expose you. Don’t you want to serve the prison sentence for them? Then I’ll grant you that. Let you serve a few more years, your daughter will have plenty of chances later."
Liang Hongmei stood up, eyes filled with hatred and determination, looking at the defeated and panicked Qiu Hualan without a trace of sympathy.
Leaving the detention center, Lin Guozhi saw Liang Hongmei’s swollen eyes, instantly knowing she had gotten an answer.
"Don’t cry, it’s all over."
"Guozhi, I want to sue her."
"Alright."
...
The villagers of Kao Shan Village never expected, couldn’t understand, how Lin Guozhi and Liang Hongmei suddenly sued Qiu Hualan.
A few days later, everyone learned that back then Lin Guozhi sent a letter, including three hundred yuan. Somehow, it was hidden by Qiu Hualan. The matter was related to Li Fugui and Li Xinghua as a couple too. Li Fugui is nowhere to be found, but Li Xinghua confessed everything.
