The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 390 - 220

Chun Nuan got the news about Dongmei from Aunt Zhong.

Sister-in-law Hu, along with her three sons, three daughters-in-law, two brothers, and four nephews, aggressively went directly to the husband’s house. She wouldn’t let her daughter stay in this place where people eat others without batting an eye.

According to Great Xia’s regulations, the woman’s dowry in a divorce must be completely taken away.

Hu Dongmei’s dowry wasn’t much, but she did have a bed, cabinet, and chests.

Old Mrs. Fang naturally didn’t want the items to be moved.

"Your daughter has been married into the Fang family for three years. Even if you raise a chicken for three years, it can lay eggs. After feeding her for three years, divorce? No way. We want to dismiss the wife." Old Mrs. Fang shouted loudly, "If it wasn’t for our second son stopping us, she would have been dismissed long ago, and yet you still have the nerve to come to our house and cause trouble."

"Cause trouble, go ahead. Let everyone see that your daughter is just a chicken that can’t lay eggs."

"Dismiss her as a wife, and see if anyone else dares to marry a daughter of the Hu family in the future."

"Shut up." Sister-in-law Hu shouted sharply, "Fang Chenggang, are you a man? You’re just letting your mother speak nonsense like this?"

"Mother, please don’t make a scene here." Fang Chenggang knew he wasn’t much of a man, but right now he couldn’t admit it: "Mother-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, don’t get angry. Family matters should be discussed amicably. Dongmei and I love each other dearly and are living happily. How could we possibly divorce?"

If they divorced, where would he find such a gullible woman again?

"Fang Chenggang, you say you’re living happily?" Sister-in-law Hu trembled with anger at the thought of her daughter’s body covered in bruises: "If you have any conscience left, if you don’t want your reputation to be dragged through the mud, write the divorce papers now. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to take this to the county yamen and file a lawsuit."

"It’s not necessary, mother-in-law, really not necessary." Fang Chenggang’s heart raced. What did she mean by dragging his reputation through the mud? He quickly turned to look at Hu Dongmei: "Dongmei, I don’t know where I’ve offended mother-in-law to make her so angry. Please persuade her. I’m good to you. We’re supposed to spend our lives together, so don’t worry her anymore."

Hu Dongmei looked at the man like this. She used to be quite grateful, thinking she had found a good man.

Now, seeing him like this, she was sickened to the point of wanting to vomit.

What did he mean by being good to her?

Her mother cried as she applied medicine for her, saying she and her father were blind to have married their daughter off to someone worse than an animal.

Her whole body had no good flesh, only bruises, and she said how foolish she was to have been bullied like this and not mentioned it sooner.

If it hadn’t been for the young mistress’s maid speaking out, no one would have known.

Hu Dongmei bit her lip hard; she really was stupid. She didn’t know that marital intimacy should be like that, and thought it was just the pain he caused her.

Turns out, the good man she imagined was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Now, awake to reality, she realized she’d been kept in the dark for three years. And even now, he was still pretending to be a good person.

"Dongmei, what’s wrong? Say something, please?"

Seeing Hu Dongmei unresponsive, he directly reached out to pull her.

"Don’t come near."

Dongmei frightenedly hid behind her mother, screaming.

"What’s wrong, Dongmei, I’m Fang Chenggang, your husband?"

Dongmei shook her head. He wasn’t her husband; she’d rather not have a husband for her whole life!

"What’s wrong, Dongmei, have I not been good to you? Whenever my mother criticizes you, I’ve always stood by your side, always defended you..."

"Stop pretending, you’re nothing but a wolf."

Hu Dongsheng really couldn’t stand it anymore. He stepped forward and pulled him away: "If you’re smart, write the divorce paper for my sister, or I’ll make you look bad."

"Brother..."

"Get lost, I don’t have a brother like you."

"Brother, what’s going on, let me die with clarity at least. How have I wronged you all?"

"What’s with the bruises on my sister’s body?"

Sister-in-law Yang Liu stepped forward: "Don’t say you don’t know?"

"Ah, bruises? Dongmei, why do you have bruises? Who did it? How did it happen? Who bullied you? I’ll fight them to the death! You’re my wife, Fang Chenggang’s wife. No one can bully you, not even my parents, let alone outsiders."

Pretend, he still pretends this well!

The Hu family watched in disgust.

Three years, and he hadn’t shown a single crack?

Dongmei really was too miserable!

"Stop acting."

Hu Dongsheng leaned toward him, speaking lowly: "Dongmei’s injuries are all your doing. If you don’t write the divorce paper today, do you believe I’ll expose you, see if you’re any good?"

"You..."

Fang Chenggang instinctively wanted to cover his waistband.
