She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Growing up under Lao Ma's tutelage, Xiao Ma always felt that women were his possessions. He could beat, scold, and order them around at will.

His first wife was married off by his father with a high dowry, and he beat her countless times for that reason.

His father also used a high dowry to marry his mother, and he beat her his whole life without any problems. Why is it that when it comes to him, problems arise?

This left Xiao Ma completely baffled. Finally, looking at his empty lower body, he angrily attributed the reason to his ex-wife being a slut.

He learned of the terrible news as soon as he woke up in the hospital, but these people dared to watch him make a fool of himself and openly mock him.

Although they used a regretful tone, how could he not hear the schadenfreude in their words?

Little Horse, driven to a fit of impotence and rage, finally lost his temper and rushed out to start hitting people, pretending to be insane.

If someone observes closely, they will notice that Xiao Ma never attacks or kills middle-aged men; his targets are always women or elderly people.

Because he can't beat a strong, middle-aged man, and he'll only hurt himself.

Because of this incident, he was too afraid to go to work, so he hid at home and bullied his mother, occasionally bullied his father, and sometimes chased people out to scare them in the compound, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing them scare him and hide everywhere, he felt that he was still very powerful.

He didn't want to face reality, but every time he took a shower or went to the toilet, he would realize once again that he was not a normal man.

There was no toilet in their home in the compound; they had to use the public toilet at the alley entrance. But he didn't want to go there, so he preferred to use a spittoon to make his home stink.

Before Guan Tao came, his mother always took care of these things, so he didn't have to worry about them at all. He would stay at home, sleep until he naturally woke up, then eat, find some time to go crazy, then continue eating, and finally go to sleep.

The day passed by happily, and Xiao Ma thought that staying at home for the rest of his life wouldn't be bad.

Later, his father said he would find him a wife so that he wouldn't be too lonely even after they were gone.

He was deeply moved and decided that very day to pursue his father less. He knew his father would definitely consider his feelings and, as before, would bring him a woman with a high dowry but no family support.

Then he'll have a new toy.

He waited at home for his father to come home soon, wanting to see if his new wife was pretty. Ideally, she'd be pretty and voluptuous, so he could slowly torment her until she lost her luster, just like he'd with his previous wife.

The idea made him tremble with excitement, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he barked like a dog in his room.

His father finally returned, bringing back a woman who was of average appearance, somewhat dark-skinned, but seemed shy and timid.

Although she's not as beautiful as his previous wife, it's still a good thing for him to have one in his situation.

After eagerly getting the marriage certificate, the torturous methods he had been devising for days finally came in handy.

He planned to wait until the woman entered his room, then beat her in the middle of the night; it would be very interesting to hear her cry and beg for mercy.

However, his plan fell through. His father made his wife live in a separate room, not in the same room as him.

He was dissatisfied and shouted that this was his wife and why she wasn't in the same room as him. As a result, his father simply locked him in the room and shut the door.

He only said that Guan Tao entered his room, but he couldn't do anything there. What was she supposed to do there?

Xiao Ma was puzzled. Wasn't this woman there to serve him?

The next morning, he was released and saw Guan Tao combing her hair inside the house.

He rushed in, intending to vent his anger on her, but the woman slapped him so hard he was stunned.

"You dare hit me?" Xiao Ma said in disbelief.

The response he received was a woman's dense, steel-like fists. The scene he had imagined—a woman screaming and crying in pain—acted out on him instead. He cried out to his parents for help.

"Mom, this woman is crazy."

"It hurts so much! Stop it! Do you want to die?"

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Dad, Mom, what kind of woman did you find? I don't want her, I want a refund."

His mother rushed over, and seeing him being beaten, she weakly said, "Please don't kill him."

Then she closed the door to Guan Tao's room, shutting out his voice, just like he had done to his ex-wife a few years ago.

He used to be the one hitting people; now he's the one being hit.

He was like his wife who had been beaten before, locked in the house and beaten, utterly desperate.

Once he stopped moving like a dead dog and stopped calling for help, Guan Tao let him go.

She lifted his chin with her toes. "Be a little more perceptive next time, okay?"

The little horse lay on the ground, refusing to speak.

So he was kicked a few more times.

"Okay, okay!" he shouted with all his might.

Guan Tao then let him go and walked out.

Seeing her mother-in-law waiting outside, she smiled and said, "Mom, he's not dead."

Old Ma's wife relaxed. As long as he wasn't dead, that was good. Although this son was no longer useful, he was still the one she had carried for ten months and had raised for so many years, so she still had some affection for him.

However, after learning that he could no longer have children, that feeling dwindled to almost nothing.

"It's good that you're not dead. You must be exhausted. Come and eat. I boiled an egg for you separately to help you recover." She was being overly solicitous as she pulled him to sit down.

Guan Tao, however, was quite self-righteous and didn't take her seriously at all. "Mom, I haven't washed up yet."

She made no move to stand up and just stared at Old Ma's wife.

Old Ma's wife was taken aback for a moment, "Then I'll bring you some water?"

Guan Tao hummed in agreement. "Also, get a toothbrush and salt, and a basin so I can spit out the water."

She spoke these words of reversing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches so naturally, as if Old Ma's wife deserved to serve her.

Old Ma's wife was a little unhappy, and her displeasure was written all over her face.

Seeing her like this, Guan Tao slammed her hand on the table. "What kind of expression is that? Do you believe I...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Old Ma's fierce gaze was fixed on his wife.

Old Ma's wife was startled and immediately prepared the things Guan Tao wanted.

What happened afterward seemed increasingly strange to Xiao Ma.

His father listened to Guan Tao's every word, his mother served the whole family, and Guan Tao would hit him when she was unhappy.

One time, his eyes were so badly beaten that he bled, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't eat. When the beating got really bad, his parents came to stop them, but Guan Tao was in a rage and was hitting anyone in sight.

The madman in this family has changed. He's not the madman; Guan Tao is the madman.

His dad married him off to a woman who was even crazier than him!
