Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 419 - 11: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 11)
Today, we had to go out, and Zhang Mingyang insisted that she wear her best clothes.
She was dressed so formally, yet Zhang Mingyang himself was quite casual, and the man in front of them was even more so.
And every time the man looked at her, his gaze was too blatant, even to the point of being disgusting.
Soon, the food was served.
The two of them started drinking.
Zhang Mingyang also made Li Shujiao drink with them.
Li Shujiao could hold her liquor very well.
However, Zhang Mingyang didn’t know this.
Li Shujiao sensed something was off; Zhang Mingyang kept urging her to drink.
After drinking a few more glasses, Li Shujiao pretended to be drunk, lying motionless on the table.
Zhang Mingyang saw that Li Shujiao was drunk, nudged her, but she didn’t react at all.
He called her a few times, still no response, and only then did Zhang Mingyang relax.
"Brother Jun, what do you think, my wife is pretty, right?"
"Hmm, not bad, but remember, we agreed on three hundred bucks beforehand."
"Of course, of course."
"Then you help her to my place, and after we’re done, you take her back."
"Alright."
Listening to this, Li Shujiao felt like her heart was shattering.
In her previous life, she respected, even secretly admired her brother-in-law.
And now her brother-in-law had become a pimp? No matter what, they were practically like a real couple, weren’t they?
Recalling the things her brother-in-law had said before, Li Shujiao’s heart turned cold.
"Mingyang, I need to go to the restroom, Mingyang, restroom, boohoo, I don’t feel well."
The three of them hadn’t left the restaurant yet, and after thinking for a moment, Zhang Mingyang helped Li Shujiao to the restroom.
The restaurant’s restroom was at the back of the restaurant; Li Shujiao had seen a girl go there before and had memorized the way.
Once she was inside the restroom, she quickly opened the back door and slipped out through the alley.
She ran quickly back to the Zhang family; by then, Zhang Mingyang’s parents had gone out for a walk and the house was empty.
Li Shujiao quickly packed her clothes, taking the loose change from the living room drawer as well.
She didn’t dare to stay long, fleeing with her clothes and the loose change.
Zhang Mingyang waited for a long time but didn’t see Li Shujiao come out, suspecting something wasn’t right—could she have fallen asleep in the restroom?
He went over to knock on the door, but no one responded for a long time.
Soon, even the restaurant owner was alerted.
After pondering, he realized the back door had a wooden latch, so he went directly to the back alley.
Looking there, he saw the back door was open and the restroom was empty.
Zhang Mingyang wasn’t stupid; he naturally understood what had happened.
But the fat man wasn’t having it; he had bought them a meal and handed over three hundred bucks, so he blocked Zhang Mingyang, not letting him leave.
Zhang Mingyang returned the three hundred bucks to him, but he didn’t have a penny for the meal, so he couldn’t pay.
The argument went on for a long time, and Zhang Mingyang gave up, thinking the police wouldn’t help, and both might end up being detained instead.
He had no money, so he told them to either let him go or call the police.
The fat man, feeling the loss, was unhappy and beat Zhang Mingyang up before leaving.
Injured, Zhang Mingyang ran home and discovered that Li Shujiao had already disappeared.
After swearing for a long time, Zhang Mingyang collapsed on the floor, utterly bewildered.
When Zhang Mingyang’s father returned home and saw the situation, with Li Shujiao gone, he naturally asked about it.
Initially, Zhang Mingyang tried to make up a few things to gloss over it, but his father kept looking at him, leaving him no choice but to reveal the truth.
His father sighed but said nothing.
The Zhang family had run out of money, leaving Zhang Mingyang no choice but to go work.
However, someone like him wouldn’t work honestly.
He was handsome enough that the original host couldn’t resist marrying him.
Soon, he even got involved with a wealthy married woman, whose husband ended up castrating him.
From then on, Zhang Mingyang hid at home, refusing to go out.
His elderly father still had to work, and his mother couldn’t do anything, only worrying at home.
The Zhang family’s situation grew worse by the day.
Until one day, when Zhang Mingyang’s father went grocery shopping, he accidentally slipped, hitting his head, and passed away, worsening the family’s circumstances.
Zhang Mingyang had no income, and neither did his mother.
They couldn’t even afford the rent anymore.
In the end, they begged for a living, but curiously his mother never fell ill again.
After escaping the Zhang family, Li Shujiao left Du City and went to another city.
She was young and beautiful, becoming a model, though she occasionally faced unspoken rules.
Eventually, in the elections, the same person was re-elected.
The Song family didn’t make any mistakes this time, instead even making contributions, so nothing happened to them; Song Ziheng continued to rise.
The Li family, needless to say, was doing well too. The favor Li Shuning did for Mayor Lin was something he was grateful for.
In another election, Li Shuning’s uncle became the biggest winner.
Although Song Ziheng was young, he exuded an aura.
Li Shujiao listened numbly to these reports, feeling a bitter taste in her heart.
If she had verified or trusted the Li family when she heard those words in her last life, would things have been different?
In yet another election, Song Ziheng reached that position. He was young, capable, and with the Song family’s full support, along with help from the Li family, he secured his position smoothly.
This drove Li Shujiao even more insane.
What had gone wrong?
Why was her life so miserable, while those people were doing so well?
The company she worked for, which was said to be a modeling agency, had unspoken rules as a part of daily life.
Even some of her photos were controlled by the company, and she had to do whatever they asked her to.
Now she was no different from when Zhang Mingyang tried to sell her off.
Li Shujiao eventually died of illness, a filthy disease.
While she was alive, she even encountered some perverts. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Zhang Mingyang begged for a living, watching Li Shuning and others bask in glory, forever living in regret.
Once, he could have lived a good life; he could have been someone of importance.
Before competing for that position, Song Ziheng sought out Li Shuning, wanting to marry her.
Li Shuning refused.
She said her heart was broken and she just wanted to raise her child well.
Song Ziheng didn’t force her and later married another girl from a prominent family.
To achieve that position, he needed a complete family; without a wife, it would only count against him.
Song Ziheng’s wife once caused trouble for Li Shuning, having heard some rumors about Song Ziheng and Li Shuning and came to assert her position as the legitimate wife, even warning Li Shuning.
Li Shuning paid no heed, but Song Ziheng later came to apologize, and that woman never bothered her again.
Li Shuning lived a peaceful and comfortable life, and her child grew up to be sensible and filial.
The Li family in Du City remained unshakable.
