Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Lin then realized that she hadn't introduced the two of them to Sister Mo'er yet.

Listening to Li Lin's introduction, Li Mo'er understood why she and Li Lin shared the same surname; they were both from Li Family Village and both had the surname Li.

Then Li Lin said that Li Mo'er's father and mother had both passed away, and Li Mo'er thought that was good, so she wouldn't have to worry about being exposed.

Then, Li Lin's next sentence plunged Li Mo'er into the deepest abyss.

“Sister Mo’er, your family has another husband. Your aunt wanted you to settle down, so she arranged for you to marry him before she passed away.”

Li Mo'er immediately stood by the roadside, feeling as if her feet weighed a ton and she couldn't lift them at all.

She can accept that she is an orphan, but she cannot accept that she is married.

She had been single for over twenty years and had never experienced a sweet romance, so how did she end up getting married?

Moreover, Li Lin said that he was only twenty years old, which shouldn't be the case.

“Sister Mo’er, when you go back, be nicer to Brother Su. He’s had a tough time too. When he was six, his father took him here and fled.”

"Although Brother Su is a bit ugly, he's very hardworking and gentle. Don't always hit him..."

Li Mo'er was completely stunned. She had even hit someone. Would he hate her to death? She didn't want to go back.

"Hey, Er Gouzi, can I sleep at your house?"

Li Mo'er was a little scared. She remembered that in those novels, the characters were all poisoners and knew martial arts.

With her thin arms and legs, not only does she lack martial arts skills, but she's also completely clueless. If she were to meet that Brother Su, wouldn't she be doomed?

Li Lin heard this, scratched his head, and thought that Mo'er wasn't all bad now; at least she wasn't as bad as before.

Li Mo'er used to be so shameless, never doing any work, only knowing how to use the money Su Yanli earned from her hard work embroidery to go drinking and gambling.

If Brother Su didn't give it to her, she would whip him. At first, someone would try to stop her, but later she would yell at anyone who tried to stop her, and gradually no one bothered to do anything about it anymore.

Li Lin noticed Li Mo'er's fear and comforted her, saying, "Sister Mo'er, Brother Su is a very good person. He won't hit you."

She also wanted Mo'er to come to her house, but they only had two beds and nowhere to sleep.

Li Mo'er wailed inwardly, "Am I afraid of being hit? I'm afraid of being poisoned!!!"

Unlike those miracle doctors who can tell whether something is poisonous or not just by smelling it, she doesn't possess any special abilities.

Oh well, it's better if I die from poisoning; maybe I'll go back to the source after I die.

As soon as they entered the village, Li Lin introduced Li Mo'er to the old man, saying he was a gossip who always talked behind people's backs.

That's Li Dazhuang over there...

Li Mo'er let it go in one ear and out the other; how could she possibly remember so many people?

"Sister Mo'er, my home is right there. If you need anything, just come find me. My mother is the village chief, she can definitely help you."

Li Lin escorted Li Mo'er to her doorstep and was about to leave when Li Mo'er grabbed her clothes and refused to let go.

"Sister Mo'er, we have to face this eventually."

Li Lin, like an old man, patted Li Mo's hand and spoke earnestly.

"No, what should I call him?"

Li Mo'er realized that she didn't know his name, only that his surname was Su.

"Hmm, hmm, you used to call him ugly, but actually Brother Su's name is quite nice, it's Su Yanli."

Few people in this village have received any formal education, are illiterate, and are given names very casually.

Besides Sister Mo'er and Brother Su, Sister Mo'er's mother was a scholar, and Brother Su's father was also educated, so their names were the most cultured in the village.

After saying that, Li Lin went home, otherwise he would miss dinner.

Su Yanli? Just hearing the name makes it sound like a name with a story. In a novel, she would definitely be a male protagonist.

Li Mo'er looked up at the house in front of her. At least it wasn't a small, dilapidated thatched hut; otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered to fix it if it leaked.

Li Mo'er gently pushed open the door; it was quiet inside, as if no one was there.

Seeing that no one was around, Li Mo'er became bolder. She breathed a sigh of relief, intending to familiarize herself with the surroundings before Su Yanli returned, otherwise she might easily give herself away.

"Wife master?"

A very soft voice sounded behind Li Mo'er, startling her.

"Aaaaah—, what are you doing standing behind me?"

Li Mo'er was startled and her tone was not very good. She started to be fierce before she even turned around.

Su Yanli was also frightened by Li Mo'er. "My lady, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to."

Su Yanli hunched his shoulders and lowered his head, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground, but he did not retreat. He knew that if he retreated, he would only be beaten more severely.

Li Mo'er turned around and saw Su Yanli. She could only vaguely see his outline, but his face was angular, his nose was high and straight, and his eyelashes were long. She couldn't see anything else.

She was also tall and upright, although she didn't look like the frail, delicate girls she saw on the street, but this was more in line with Li Mo'er's modern aesthetic.

Li Mo'er was shocked. This is what you call ugly? How are those young male celebrities in the entertainment industry supposed to survive?

Li Mo'er was about to reach out and ask him to look up so she could get a better look at him. As someone who had never been in a relationship, she hadn't seen such a handsome man in a long time.

Su Yanli saw the hand in front of him and couldn't help but take a few steps back, but then he suddenly remembered that he couldn't back down.

Although his body was trembling uncontrollably and he wanted to back away, he silently closed his eyes and moved forward little by little with his feet.

Seeing Su Yanli's avoidance, Li Mo'er remembered Li Lin telling her that he had hit Su Yanli, and that her actions just now had probably frightened him.

So, Li Mo'er silently clenched her fists, warning herself, "This is someone else's man, I'm not allowed to touch him! How can I act like I've never seen a man before?"

Li Mo'er mentally berated herself, but based on what she had just seen, Su Yanli was indeed someone she could be captivated by.

He bit his lip tightly, clenched his fists, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He figured he would be in so much pain that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Su Yanli waited for a while, and when she felt no pain, she was about to look up when she saw Li Mo'er's tightly clenched fists.

Su Yanli chuckled to himself, thinking, "Ha, so it's because I didn't have the tools. I thought I could escape today."

Su Yanli glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the door behind him was already closed. Although everyone in the village knew that he was often beaten, he still didn't want others to know.

He walked into the room by himself and took out a thin twig, which she had asked him to find for himself.

They've only been married a month, and they've already worn out several of them. This is the fourth one she's asked to find for herself.

Li Mo'er stared in disbelief as Su Yanli placed the branch on the ground, glanced down at it, then turned around without a word, knelt on the ground, took off her patched clothes, revealing her back covered in whip marks.
