Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Don’t Do Bad Things, You’ll Really Get Retribution_1

Lin Luye was now so stunned she could neither curse nor cry. This was because An Jing had spoken the truth; her in-laws were extremely dissatisfied with her for giving birth to two daughters, and if she failed to bear a son, they would indeed press her husband to divorce her.

Looking at Lin Luye, pitiable yet detestable in her dumbfounded state, An Jing could not be bothered to say anything more, for she had already dealt with them, and from now on, both would be scorned and despised by others.

Turning around, An Jing said to Xiao Changyi, "Husband, let’s continue moving."

Xiao Changyi nodded gently, "Mmm."

...

The matter of Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan quickly spread through the villages far and wide, with everyone spitting upon and scorning them relentlessly.

When Lin Daqiang and Lin’s mother, the parents of Lin Anjing, found out that not only had Lin Luye entangled herself with Pan Shuangquan but it was also she who informed Pan Shuangquan about Lin Anjing’s missed menstruation, they were so enraged they picked up brooms and went to Lin Wuqiang’s house to beat Lin Luye.

Had it not been for Lin Luye’s interference, Lin Anjing would not have possibly failed to marry off, causing them to be the subject of ridicule for so many years!

Although Lin Anjing has now changed her name to An Jing and is no longer their daughter, the days of mockery they endured were real, and that was reason enough for them not to spare Lin Luye from a beating.

Lin Luye could only run throughout Jiuping Village, chased by Lin Daqiang and Lin’s mother. But because Lin Luye’s actions were too shameless, even the Government Official patrolling the village did not intervene, allowing Lin Daqiang and Lin’s mother to chase and beat her.

Lin Luye’s behavior was so disgraceful that Lin Wuqiang hated her too much to prevent Lin Daqiang and Lin’s mother from potentially beating her to death. Hence, he did not stop the beating and also publicly declared that he no longer recognized Lin Luye as his daughter and ordered her never to return, denouncing her as a daughter who has lost face.

Meanwhile, Pan Shuangquan had long since returned to Pan Family Village after leaving An Jing’s place.

Although Pan Shuangquan’s reputation was ruined too, his situation was not as miserable as Lin Luye’s, since it was a patriarchal era where men commonly had multiple wives and concubines, and philandering was considered normal.

However, the treatment of women was exceedingly harsh.

When Lin Luye, haggard and crazed from the beating by Lin Daqiang and Lin’s mother, returned to her matrimonial home, she overheard Pan Shuangquan’s parents persuading him to divorce her. She immediately knelt and tearfully begged Pan Shuangquan not to cast her aside.

Pan Shuangquan did blame Lin Luye—had she not made suggestive overtures to him initially, and had she not shamelessly offered herself to him, resulting in him having to marry her, his reputation would not have been thoroughly destroyed by An Jing.

However, with two young children at home, he thought to himself that even if he were to divorce her, he would have to wait until the children were a bit older.

No sooner had Pan Shuangquan thought this than the Head of the Pan Family came in a fit of anger, declaring that the clan would not accept Lin Luye and that if Pan Shuangquan did not divorce his wife and continued to keep such a shameless woman as his bride, he would be erased from the family records.

Pan Shuangquan was immediately frightened and on the spot had someone draft the divorce papers; unable to write, he simply pressed his handprint.

Lin Luye was divorced and had nowhere to stay in her in-laws’ house, nor could she return to her parental home. With nowhere to go and not a single coin in her possession, she contemplated drowning herself, but she was too afraid of dying.

Later, Lin Luye resorted to begging in the town.

From then on, she begged by day and stayed in a dilapidated temple by night.

Until that winter, Lin Luye begged on the streets and froze to death on a street corner, and on the very day Lin Luye died of cold, she was just eighteen years old.

Of course, these events all happened later.

Meanwhile, An Jing and Xiao Changyi had already moved into their new home.
