"Qin Ming, you can't wash your clothes cleanly, and you can't mop the floor cleanly!"
"You loser, what else can you do!"
"What's the use of raising you in our family? Even if we raise a dog, it's better than you!"
...
A harsh voice sounded, and mother-in-law Li Holland pointed at Qin Ming's nose and yelled.
"Mom, don't be angry. I'll mop whatever is dirty..."
Qin Ming whispered, holding the mop in his hand, and mopped it carefully on the floor again.
"Don't call me mom, you're a loser and you don't deserve it!"
Li Holland's expression was disgusting and contemptuous.
Qin Ming fell silent and did not dare to talk back.
He was an orphan, without a father or mother, and grew up in an orphanage.
Three years ago, the old man of the Ma family suddenly fell ill, and he happened to meet him.
He carried Mr. Ma on his back and ran seven or eight miles, and sent Mr. Ma to the hospital for treatment in time, thus saving Mr. Ma's life.
Afterwards, Mr. Ma, perhaps in order to repay his kindness, insisted on marrying his granddaughter Ma Lu despite the opposition of everyone in the family.
From then on, he joined Ma's family and worked as a door-to-door son-in-law for three years.
For three years, he worked as a cow and horse in Ma's company during the day, and all his salary was given to his wife, Ma Lu.
When he comes home at night, he has to do laundry, mop the floor, cook, etc. All housework is included.
He has always worked hard without complaint.
However, because he was an orphan with no ability or background, Ma Lu's family looked down upon him from the bottom of their hearts.
No matter how well he did, Ma Lu's family would always find fault with him, beating and scolding him at every turn.
In the Ma family, the only person who is good to him is Mr. Ma.
In the past, Mr. Ma protected him, and his mother-in-law, Li Holland, could restrain himself a little.
But since Mr. Ma died of illness a month ago, Li Holand's family has become more aggressive and wants to drive him out.
He has become the most unnecessary person in the family, and his life is worse than that of a dog...
Qin Ming was deep in thought when the door opened and a young woman with a beautiful face and fashionable clothes walked in from the outside.
She is Qin Ming's wife Ma Lu.
Ma Lu had a bit of blush on her cheeks and looked drunk. She must have just returned from drinking and socializing.
"Qin Ming, what are you doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and pour water for Lulu's feet!"
Li Holland scolded.
"No!"
"Qin Ming, I've had enough of you being a loser in the past three years!"
"Let's get a divorce!"
Ma Lu glanced at Qin Ming coldly and arrogantly, with a look of contempt.
"divorce?"
Qin Ming was like a bolt from the blue, and he was completely stunned.
He knew that he was not worthy of Ma Lu. For the past three years, he had been working hard and resigned, just hoping to get Ma Lu's approval.
However, what he never dreamed of was that in return for all his hard work, he would get the word divorce!
"Ma Lu, you... you may have drunk too much. I'll help you go back to your room to rest first..."
Qin Ming forced a smile and reached out to help Ma Lu, but Ma Lu threw him away.
"Do not touch me!"
"Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here. Tomorrow we will go get the divorce certificate!"
"Why?"
Qin Ming was very unwilling.
"You want to know why, then I'll tell you frankly!"
"I am pregnant!"
"Is this a good enough reason?"
Ma Lu pointed to her belly with a mocking look on her face.
"Whose is it?"
Qin Ming's face was pale, without a trace of blood.
After three years of marriage, he had always slept in the living room. Ma Lu never let him touch her, and he never dared to touch Ma Lu.
"Don't care whose it is, it's definitely not yours anyway!"
"Why, do you want to be a father?"
Ma Lu smiled sarcastically and looked at Qin Ming as if he were looking at a fool.
"Lulu, is the child you are pregnant with Mr. Sun?"
"You did so beautifully!"
Li Holland was overjoyed and gave his daughter a thumbs up repeatedly.
"Mom, I'm tired. Please help me go back to my room to rest!"
"I feel sick when I see this trash!"
Ma Lu glanced at Qin Ming contemptuously, and then the mother and daughter left triumphantly.
Qin Ming was dumbfounded, standing in the living room as if he was petrified, his heart full of humiliation, anger, and even more chilling...
a long time.
Qin Ming left home, looking lonely along the way. He walked for who knows how long and came to a secluded cemetery in the suburbs.
Mr. Ma was buried here after he died of illness.
Qin Ming was very grateful to Mr. Ma for protecting him over the past three years. Before the divorce, he wanted to pay homage to Mr. Ma one last time.
He said it was for worship, but in fact he didn't have a dime on him and couldn't even buy the cheapest ghost paper.
"Grandpa, thank you for taking care of me these three years..."
"I will divorce Ma Lu tomorrow..."
"I failed to live up to your expectations..."
In the night, Qin Ming's eyes were red, and he knelt down and worshiped Mr. Ma's tombstone several times in succession, feeling indescribable bitterness and sadness in his heart.
After the worship.
Qin Ming took out a jade pendant and held it in his hand, sitting on the ground with his back against the tombstone in a daze, his eyes empty and dull, licking the wounds in his heart alone.
This jade pendant was something Qin Ming had brought with him since he was a child. According to the director of the orphanage, when he was sent to the orphanage, he had this jade pendant in his swaddling clothes.
Maybe this jade pendant is not worth much, but it may be a relic left to him by his parents, and it is also the most precious thing in his life.
Squeak!
Suddenly, the sound of several branches being trampled down rang out in the silent night sky, awakening Qin Ming who was in a daze.
This was a cemetery, surrounded by tombstones. The sudden noise almost scared Qin Ming out of his wits.
It...could it be haunted?
Qin Ming shuddered, and a cold air rose from the soles of his feet.
But he soon lost his fear!
He is an orphan with nothing, and his wife Ma Lu is pregnant with someone else's child and insists on divorcing him.
He is now completely despairing and even wants to die.
Why are you still afraid of ghosts?
"Brother Song, there is a river outside this cemetery that goes straight to the bottom of the river. As long as we throw her into the river and the water washes away, we guarantee that there will be no clues or traces left behind!"
"Okay, you keep an eye on her first, and I'll find a rock to tie it up to prevent her from floating up..."
...
There was a burst of conversation.
From Qin Ming's position, through the fence of the cemetery, we could just see two young men carrying sacks on their shoulders, gradually walking to the river not far outside the cemetery.
Fortunately, due to the dark night and the obstruction of trees and tombstones, the other party did not discover Qin Ming in the cemetery.
"Woooo..."
A clear and desperate whimpering sound came from the sack, as if it contained a woman, struggling and resisting, but to no avail.
Soon.
Brother Song brought a huge and heavy stone and tied the sack and the woman inside to the stone.
There was a pop.
Chapter completed!
