Chapter 222 The Tragic Story of Xiujin

Kong Xiujin regretted it. She should have run away earlier. Why did she shamelessly follow Xiong Shanhe back?

Now things are really messed up; she probably can't escape it now. She regrets even more now why she got involved with a married man. Wouldn't it have been better to have a good job, find a boyfriend, and get married?

She only regretted that she wasn't lucky enough to meet a good man like JJ Lin, who was handsome and doted on his wife.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her liking Lin Junhui. She took all of Kong Xiufang's help and care for granted.

This is the true thought of the ungrateful Kong Xiujin. She feels that she is no worse than Kong Xiufang, so why can't she have a happy and fulfilling life?

She was unwilling to give up and wanted to escape. But Xiong Shanhe's large hand had already grabbed her slender wrist, and there was no way to escape.

Xiong Shanhe pulled her along, heading towards his hometown. They walked south along the road, passing the foot of the mountains on the southern edge of the city.

Tired from walking, they rested in a vegetable garden. Kong Xiujin's wrist ached from being gripped so tightly, and she pleaded pitifully, "Shanhe, can you let go of my wrist? I won't run away anymore. I'll listen to you from now on and never run away again. I'll go back to our hometown with you and live a good life with you."

Xiong Shanhe looked at her and said, "Really? You really agreed to live a good life with me!"

Kong Xiujin nodded vigorously, "It's true, absolutely true."

Xiong Shanhe released her wrist, and Kong Xiujin could finally rest. She sat on the ground, intending to lie down and rest for a while, but soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

Xiong Shanhe looked at Kong Xiujin lying in the field and had a wicked thought. He looked around and saw no one. There was no work to be done in the fields, so they were all empty.

Xiong Shanhe noticed that although Kong Xiujin had lost a lot of weight, her appearance was still as captivating as ever.

Especially those fox-like eyes, which always captivated Xiong Shanhe's heart. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he did something bad.

Kong Xiujin was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt someone harassing her.

When she groggily opened her eyes, she saw Xiong Shanhe, who was in heat, tormenting her like a hungry wolf.

But Kong Xiujin was disgusted and tried to get up to escape, but she couldn't get up no matter what she tried.

It felt like a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up. She sobbed desperately, "Waaah...cough cough...waaah."

Seeing Kong Xiujin's fear and struggle only fueled Xiong Shanhe's excitement, so he intensified his torment of her.

Kong Xiujin closed her eyes in despair, forced to endure the humiliation. It was all her own doing; no one could save her.

After a while, Xiong Shanhe reluctantly got up to go to the field to find something to eat.

At this moment, Kong Xiujin was lying on the ground, retching from nausea. Xiong Shanhe figured that since she was feeling unwell, she would behave herself and wouldn't run away.

But he didn't go far, just looked for something to eat nearby, and kept glancing at Kong Xiujin every now and then; he couldn't let this woman get away.

In their impoverished mountain village, finding a wife was harder than climbing to heaven. Besides, Kong Xiujin was far superior to the other young women and wives in the village. At least she was his type.

She had been someone's mistress before, so she knew nothing, which made her more suitable for him than the honest, simple women in the village.

Thinking of this, Xiong Shanhe looked up again in Kong Xiujin's direction. But she was gone.

He panicked and rushed over, only to see Kong Xiujin jump down the paddy field embankment and run onto the main road.

She was now quickening her pace, running back the way she had come. Xiong Shanhe knew she was trying to run back to the city. He guessed she wanted to find someone she knew to help her get home.

Seeing his prize slip away, how could Xiong Shanhe not be furious? He roared, "Kong Xiujin, you stop right there! Or I'll break your legs if I catch you!"

Kong Xiujin dared not waste any time and ran desperately towards the city. Xiong Shanhe accelerated, using all his strength to chase after her.

Just as they were about to catch up with Kong Xiujin, Kong Xiujin panicked and lost her footing.

With a cry of "Ah!", he tumbled down the steep road and rolled all the way down to a distant ravine.

Due to inertia, Kong Xiujin rolled over several times. Her head hit a rock, barely stopping her slide, and she passed out.

Now Xiong Shanhe was even more anxious. Could she have fallen to her death? This was his future wife; how could she just die like this?

He quickly ran into the ravine, picked up the unconscious Kong Xiujin, and placed her on the main road. Then he anxiously waited for a passing donkey cart to rescue them.

After an unknown amount of time, a donkey cart appeared in the distance. Xiong Shanhe quickly shouted, "Help...help me!"

An old man with white hair got off the donkey cart. Seeing someone crying for help, he quickly helped carry Kong Xiujin to the nearest small clinic in the village.

After examining Kong Xiujin's injuries, Xiong Shanhe finally had time to call for help. He recognized the old man.

I didn't have time to call for help earlier, but now that I have the chance, I'm naturally going to call for help.

"Grandpa Ren, do you still recognize me? I'm Er Gouzi."

"Er Gouzi" is his nickname.

The white-haired old man walked up to Xiong Shanhe, looked him over carefully, and slapped his thigh, "Oh my! It really is Er Gouzi. I haven't seen you for so many years, I almost didn't recognize you."

Xiong Shanhe enthusiastically recounted his glorious years to the old man, without mentioning a single embarrassing incident.

"Grandpa Ren, how are my parents now?"

When his parents were mentioned, the old man looked grave and said, "Your parents and your younger brother haven't had a very good life together!"

Xiong Shanhe's heart skipped a beat. "Uncle Ren, don't I send money home every year? Why are they still not doing well?"

The old man sighed and said, "Your sister-in-law is fierce, and your mother is honest, so she always suffers. Your brother can't control her, and she controls all the money in the house, so... sigh! Anyway, your parents have never had enough to eat."

Xiong Shanhe clenched his fists tightly, feeling regretful that he hadn't been back for so long.

It's been many years since I last came back. My younger brother and sister-in-law are very filial to our parents and know how to talk. It seems they're just putting on a show for themselves.

Xiong Shanhe now truly regretted not secretly saving some money, so that even in dire straits, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

But now that he's left the Qian family, his extravagant lifestyle for the rest of his life has come to an end.

Now, for his parents' sake, he needs to pull himself together. The past cannot be undone, but life must go on.

At this moment, Kong Xiujin, who was unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.

When the village doctor saw that the patient had woken up, he quickly went over and asked, "Young lady, where do you feel uncomfortable? You can tell me. I am a doctor."

Kong Xiujin was a little confused, not knowing where she was. She didn't recognize any of these people, but when she saw Xiong Shanhe, she remembered everything.
