Chapter 393: Chapter 393 I’m So Miserable

Borrow a person?

If it had been borrowing money, Yue Xiaofang would have understood, but she couldn’t grasp what borrowing a person meant.

Guo Xue explained, "You know my natal family has only one brother, very few in number, so I wanted to ask if I could borrow some people from you."

There wasn’t much point in hiding anything, Yue Xiaofang would find out when she went to the village anyway, so Guo Xue simply laid the whole matter bare.

Yue Xiaofang knew about the previous situation; Guo Xue married Chang Tiancheng from the same village.

The Chang Family was quite wealthy, and Guo Xue quickly gave birth to a son after marrying into the family, which solidified her position. Many people in the village envied her.

Guo Xue had always taken pride in this, feeling lucky.

But as the economy developed, many villagers grew dissatisfied with just tilling the land for food.

They simply left their fields to be tended by their fathers or other elders and went to the city to work.

The earnings were better than farming, and it also broadened one’s horizons.

Chang Tiancheng was one of them; he was smart and capable, and he quickly found his way after leaving, earning several times what he did before.

In the beginning, when Chang Tiancheng sent money back home, Guo Xue was quite happy.

But later on, the money Chang Tiancheng sent back became less and less. He said the company he worked for wasn’t doing well, but Guo Xue’s intuition as a woman told her something was amiss.

Chang Tiancheng only came back once every one or two months, and whenever they were intimate, it was half-hearted, as if he were fulfilling an obligation.

Furthermore, some gossip started circulating in the village, which made Guo Xue pay closer attention.

Men always hate women’s intuition because they often guess too accurately.

With the help of fellow villagers, Guo Xue caught Chang Tiancheng with a woman from the city.

There was a big commotion on both sides, and Chang Tiancheng’s parents even pressured him to apologize.

After that, Guo Xue insisted Chang Tiancheng not return to city for work; otherwise, she threatened to throw herself and her child into the river.

Chang Tiancheng stayed at home every day, his temper growing darker by the day.

Especially when he saw others returning from the city with money, he showed even less goodwill toward Guo Xue.

Guo Xue also resented his infidelity, and they would quarrel at the drop of a hat. Eventually, Chang Tiancheng even started hitting Guo Xue.

Full of anger and frustration, Guo Xue knew that her natal family, having only one brother, might not be able to beat Chang Tiancheng if it came to blows.

This time, when she heard Yue Xiaofang had returned, Guo Xue thought to seek her help.

The woman cried, tears streaming down her face nonstop, "Xiaofang, please help me. Chang Tiancheng is still determined to go to the city for work. I fear I can’t hold him back."

Yue Xiaofang withdrew her hand impassively, "So you want me to lend you people to subdue him?"

Guo Xue said nothing, but her intention was crystal clear.

Yue Xiaofang sighed, "Xiaoxue, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but such things shouldn’t be done. The employees I’ve hired are mostly women, and the few men there are responsible for delivery-related labor. I can’t spare them."

Guo Xue murmured, "What about Brother Yue then? He surely..."

Yue Xiaofang flatly refused, "That’s what I want to talk to you about next. Do you think beating him up will solve the problem? If Chang Tiancheng calls the police, we all could end up arrested."

"He wronged me first, how dare he call the police!" Guo Xue still wasn’t convinced.

Even Yue Qingqing, who knew nothing about romance, could see the situation clearly.

"Auntie Guo, if your husband truly repented, he wouldn’t be hitting you, and you wouldn’t need to ask my aunt to lend you people. If you do something drastic, he might just take that as a chance to divorce you."

Guo Xue’s gaze suddenly went blank, as if coming to a realization and yet unable to believe it.

But Yue Qingqing’s words ultimately punctured her last illusion.

"Boo hoo, my life is so hard," Guo Xue sobbed, her cries echoing as she slumped over the table, "I gave the Chang Family a son, how dare he wrong me, how dare he hit me..."
